Laura - Yes, that's the show!  But Paige Davis' presence always anchored it, I thought.

But what about Marietta boy Ty Pennnington?

Singdaw-Ouch.  Aquaphor healing ointment (I get it from the dermatogogist) might work, or even just Vaseline. I’m always switching from one heavy duty lotion to another.

The ingredients in the healing ointment are petroleum, mineral oil, lanolin, panthenol, glycerin & bisablolol-whatever that is.

I remember watching an episode where someone made flowers out of plastic coffee can lids and stapled them all over a wall and thinking to myself, "If these people even came near my house, I would pull out my baseball bat and smash hands and fingers."

My DH worked on the Lynette Jennings show (Discovery or TLC I think) for two seasons and often thought this very same thing.

My inbox is now receptive, DR JRand.

It's like that wonderful line in Ruth Draper's fantastic "The Italian Lesson": "See if you can get some men for the opera.  I've got a box but no men."

Do any of you DRs have a solution for those painful cracks that sometimes develop in your thumb, at the corners of the nail, for those of us living in the colder climes?

The heartbreak of ANAGNORISIS!

Yes, I have seen it, and I have it on VHS. Julie was robbed of an Oscar nomination for this, one of the best performances she has ever given.

I also like the Emily Watson film based on the same story of JdP, "Hilary and Jackie".

As reported elsewhere on the web:

XM radio may be planning to rebroadcast all 12 hours of their "Wall To Wall Sondheim" celebration [from 2005?] on the 24th of March, 2007.

And they may still offer free trial subscriptions which would allow those so interested to partake.  :D

I hope that this is true!!  I wasn't able to get the whole thing the last time.  And I didn't get the early written stuff.  I'm excited about this! ;D

That's the decorating show where they would do stupid things, like stapling LPs to the wall, or glue feathers, or such?

And real moss as wall covering! :P

Could Rosina Lippi's Tied to the Tracks be about DR Edi?

Probably not, since I am only a "born again" Southerner, originally from Ohio. (But my DH is a 5th generation Georgian.)

I'm seeing Prelude to a Kiss this evening. I remember being entranced by the first production at the now defunct Circle Rep theatre. It starred Alec Baldwin, Mary Louise Parker and the amazing Barnard Hughes. John Mahoney is playing the role this time around.

DR Jennifer - You make me quite nervous re: disconnecting your smoke detector.  Too many stories on the television news in the past two weeks in the NY area about home fire fatalities – the worst of which could have been prevented if the detector had had a battery installed.  Please be careful!  We want you around.

I agree.  You read over and over how people died in fires because they had removed the battery to the smoke alarm.

In newer houses the smoke alarm is located farther away from the cooking areas to prevent this problem.

I'll know more about such things after I get the sound right.  I'm just not certain how long that's going to take.

I think it would take less time if I didn't have double sessions every day and night this week. It's very frustrating not to have the time to finish it. I spent an hour between sessions doing titles on my laptop while loading CLOSER dailies. (As I'm doing now...)

I got a little chuckle out of the lighting designer's name: Jim Moody.

"I'd like to have some moody lighting for this scene."

"You're going to have Moody lighting for the entire show!" LOL.

I am working on House of Payne with a producer who used to be with the TRADING SPACES network. (TLC?) I'll ask her about Paige tonight.

A package from Amazon arrived today.  Der Brucer has a trio of Van Dyke Parks albums for us to listen to when we drive up to Dover later today

Don't be scared off by "Song Cycle". It's worth it if you give it a chance.

Singdaw-DH Keith has an MS in Information & Library Science., before that, just a BA.  He did consider getting a PHD but we decided the financial rewards weren’t worth it, plus we were ready to buy a house & begin having children.

His first and only job as a librarian was at Caltech in Pasadena.  He started their rare book library collection which we are told is still there.

Oh...OK, I didn't get it. I just saw the link to the book and not the documentary. Sounds interesting!

DR CILLA LIZ where did you put your magnet?

Which magnet? The CURTAINS magnet is on the refrigerator, where magnets belong. There was no merchandise at Man of La Mancha, thus no magnet

"You're going to have Moody lighting for the entire show!" LOL.

He used to do big concert lighting -- he generally preferred to use a bluish hue as his "signature" -- that's right, he brought out the "Moody Blues."  

...I wish I was making a pun, but that is indeed an actual fact.

Yes, yes, the elusive Boo-Key has decided to make an appearance this morning.  I think my clock is back on schedule.  This is the earliest I've been up this week - and strangely enough, it's the morning after a work night...hmmmm...

My clock hasn't been on schedule since my surgery in 2005!
