More travel-planning weirdness for our late Sept/early Oct trip to NYC:

If we fly Delta from Cincinnati to LaGuardia, it will cost about $400 each. If we fly Delta out of Dayton and change planes in Cincinnati, it will cost half that. Go figure.

DR elmore - I'm sorry to read about the lease problems and storage problems. I hope there's a last minute save and that things work out. But I agree with the others that it's always best to keep your personal belongings separate from the other things. If these personal items are valuable to you, I think you should take the time now to go through the boxes and separate them out.

Two no-longer-newbies in the same week?

Congratualtions DRs 3D and Julie!

Thanks, all!
Congratulations to DR 3D from me, too.

I guess this officially proves that I can't keep my mouth shut.

Do you have any pets?

Hmm... The "heat index" here in Richmond is supposed to be 106 tomorrow. Sounds like a good day to stay inside and go through boxes.

DR singdaw - Get your camera. At this point, your old company has already paid for any and all premiums due to their employees. And, if it's like other "gift benefits", they usually don't track the disbursement of such gifts.

Now, if the reminder came from your old company, well, that would be a totally different story, but since it came from the gift company, the gift is yours.

Well - back from the visit to the Metropolitan Museum with my parents. We had a great day. The special exhibit we saw of the Impressionist paintings in the collections of the Clark Brothers was well put together and I recognized many famous paintings and discovered some new ones I had never realized existed. For example, a still life of onions and garlic by Renoir. I had never seen that type of painting by Renoir before. I also saw that they had several pieces that I had seen when visiting the Clark Museum in Williamstown. And it gave me a new appreciation for the influence that the Clark's had on the art collecting world. I had not realized that one of the brothers, for example, was the founding trustee of the Museum of Modern Art.

We also went through a special fashion exhibit they had, and toured the new Greek and Roman galleries. All very impressive.

DR Jason - I'm glad you got to see Gypsy again. Safe travel vibes for tomorrow.

DR George - you are a good brother! Good luck with your sister's redecorating.

DR Jane - vibes for no Harry Potter spoilers, and for better weather tomorrow

DR Jose - you always seem to have the most interesting and tasty desserts! Yumm.

-And that's why I sometimes opt for the connecting flights out of NYC instead of the direct ones. Which I usually don't mind. Plus, it means I earn more frequent flyer miles.

Thanks to all DRs for taking the time to provide your ethical wisdom! Much appreciated! I'll let you know how it goes - and if I dare!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #313 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:35:55 PM »

DR Julie - One of my fondest memories of my summer up at Williamstown are the two visits I paid to The Sterling and Francis Clark Art Institute. What a wonderful museum. Not too small, not too big. And the holdings are downright awe inspiring. And the grounds around The Clark are also beautiful - walking up the "hill" and then having a view of Mt. Greylock...

-And I remember that still life of the onions. Who knew?

*And I've also heard that some devotees of The Clark can't wait for this exhibition to end since there are a lot of favorites on loan right now.

Jane · « **Reply #314 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:38:44 PM »

Julie-Thank you. I'm glad you had such a nice day. I finally made it to the Metropolitan Museum a couple of years ago & had a great time.

Jason-EASY & SAFE TRAVEL VIBES!

I have not and it does not. In fact, I used my ID just the other day at the bank, and the teller did a double-take just to make sure I was the same person as the guy on my driver's license.

I'm so sorry to read about the continuing troubles with the lease, DR ELmore. What horrendous treatment of you hardworking guys. I can certainly understand your anger.

I began the evening with a MOONLIGHTING episode. This is the one done as a film noir with Cybill as a big band singer and Bruce as the lead cornet man (a FUNNY GIRL reference.) Not much mystery as usual, but certainly a different show. This must have been one of the last things Orson Welles ever did (the introduction to the show explaining to the audience that the screen would go to black and white about ten minutes in). The episode was dedicated to Welles with his dates of birth and death.

Cybill sang "Blue Moon" during her dream segment, but in Bruce's dream segment, it didn't sound like her voice at all on the other song (can't remember now what it was). It sounded more like Dinah Shore. There were no credits at the end of the episode identifying the songs or vocalist(s).

DR MattH: I used to have the 'Moonlighting' soundtrack, and all of the vocals from that episode are credited to Cybill.

Thanks. I knew she could sing and had done some albums, but it really didn't sound like anything else I had ever heard her do.
