Haines His Way

FJL- I love small packages.  (Now, who will be the first to use this in a quote).

It should be a three package day at the mail place today - hoo and ray.  I shall now go ship my three small packages.

After which, I shall return.

It'll have to be a straight man.

Back from shipping and shall now go to my local DVD store, then to pick up at least two of the three packages.

ASSOCIATED PRESSHow many bites of the apple does this DA want?

This DA is a moron, and the whole things smacks of the Tiwana Brawley embarassment of the 1980s.  I hope the DA is dismissed when his term iis up for renewal.

Hutch (but no Starsky) and his assistant, from Jet Heating, called and said the temp patch on the leaky gas heater was done and it was up and running.

I asked how it could be running when it had been turned off from inside the house...and they had no access to the inside of the house.

So I drove home and turned the thermostat on. Nothing. They had hooked something up wrong.

They crawled back under the house and started over while I waited ...I playing with Bosco and then doing the dishes.

I have heat now. Don't know whether my house will not blow up...but time will tell.

I am going to have the gas company come out and double check it just to make me feel better...but quite frankly I am terrified to even use this darn gas heater.

SAFE HOUSE VIBES FOR MBARNUM!!!

Do you have the carbon dioxide alarm Michael S suggested?

As some know, I recorded Mr. Durang's Beyond Therapy.  I like him very much, but was a little disappointed in him when he wasn't supportive during the bad time with a certain record label.  There were still things that remained not quite finished in that recording, but the gentleman who engineered the takeover of the company released it the way it was - certainly quality never mattered to that gentleman - hence his hideous mixing of my Sherman Brothers CD, you know, where he left half the band tracks out of the mix so that one is left with about nine players and half-orchestrations.  BRILLIANT.

In any case, Mr. Durang was not supportive and that is all I need to say about Mr. Durang.

Let me speak on behalf of Mr Durang and other artists you have felt were not supportive during your travails, and I know how awful, traumatic, and unjust that period was.   Many of them - including me who didn't know about the "bad time" for over a year! - were suckered in my the outrageous lies about you from your deceitful colleague.  I owe my finding you online to Liz Callaway who told me in 2003 about HHW.  Until then, I only knew what I'd heard from the other label's new office a year after the backstabbing happened.

Clint Walker. But only if he remembered to bring a big Christmas package.

You and your euphemisms!

Well, if the Three Little Pigs show up, don't let them in.

Yes, however NW Natural Gas said that would not detect a gas leak.

Will they be out today to check for leaks?

Just keep in mind, it's wise to disengage the "repeat track" function on your CD player.  Otherwise, you'll never know when a piece comes to an end!

I also love the Elmore arrangment etc for "The Holly and The Ivy". The best remembered song from ALW's "Woman In White". I wonder if it was used in the New York production.  It was sung in the Wedding Scene in the London production - just before I fell asleep.

I'm sure there is some connection between Glass Houses and Emperor's New Clothes!

I know Larry is a fan.  NOT.

I'm pretty sure Naked City was an early DVD from Image.  I think I have it.  

What a lovely day this is.  Did my shipping, picked up my packages (including FJL and Skip's lovely Bansai tree), and am just lounging around the house.  Had some credit to use up (trying to use it all before the closing of the store) so got Operation Crossbow, The Illustrated Man, Up Periscope, and a really early copy of Sparkle.  As the box says, long before Dreamgirls (well, about three years before) was this very similar-themed film.
