Just finished writing a three-page letter to the alumni association membership. I wanted to be very strong, but I tempered it all with humor. You just try to do something helpful for these people, and they sit on their collective ASSES and don't help. Which is why most of them are where they are, I hate to say it.

At long last, page six.

Will we never get to page seven?

And sorry about the guilt trip...but don't fall for it. I never did and I still don't.

Your mother still does that too

When my children think I'm being an annoying nagging mother I should let them read what your mother's do.

Jason you should tell your father it could be worse, you could move out of the country like Craig did, & just might do again.

Jane, you are not working hard enough in the guilt department. Neither of your sons have given you grandchildren yet. You need to get busy.

DR JEANNE - I work 20 minutes a day on by Pro Form air walker.....which is sort of like a Nordic track, but NO impact.

I then do 100 leg reps and 100 arm reps with my Thigh-Master.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #156 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:24:28 PM »

Will be leaving for rehearsal soon.

Early with El Gallo and Luisa....and then Act One....which I am sure the director thinks he has blocked, which isn't really....which he will find out tonight.

Route 66 on DVD......I hope it is by the season...and not a compilation.

Carnegie (that's pronounced "carNEGie", not "CARnegie") Corporation toward production of a documentary on the role and image of librarians in film and society.

Craig & I heard it pronounced correctly when I was at Carnegie-Mellon with him. I didn't know all these years we had it wrong-figured they knew better at the school.

It feels so awkward I doubt I'll be getting it right unless I hear it correctly on a regular basis.

DRs Laura & Singdaw-LOL. When Craig re-introduced Yogi to me he said this is your grandmother.

I watched the 1970 film Something for Everyone the other night. Interesting story, and engrossing.

I loved that movie---saw it several times when it came out. I'd like to see it again!

Miss Karen! Where are your priorities?? Won't this be Cason's NY acting debut?? Don't you feel that experiencing his (potential) opening night is more important than just being the ASSISTANT director of anything...regardless of strike??

Just my 2¢.

Okay, Mother Jorge ... I'm impressed, you've got Mothering 101 -- the chapter on "passive-aggressive guilt tripping" or in this case the "aggressive-passive guilt tripping" down perfectly --

Students take note -- see how Mother Jorge starts with the direct attack guilt trip but stops suddenly then backs off with the innocent "just my 2 cents" then for an extra dose of sugar adds a sweet little wink -- that leaves the child feeling guilty but unable to argue, debate or fight with you about it -- you know, get your motherly dig in quickly and then douse it with sweetness before they have time to get on the defensive ...very, very good Mother Jorge, you've been watching and learning...

And this is her twin sister, Jenna. I mean, could they be much cuter?

No, but then the whole family is cute, so why not them. Their mother & cousin Maggie are also darling.

That last week of September -- I'm still deciding on the exact day to come -- I'd love to see opening night, but I'm Asst. Director for our theatre's musical here -- Suburb -- and that's our closing weekend (I'm thinking my work will be done by then -- but I haven't approached the director yet -- but they may not appreciate my not being there to help strike the set and clean up -- but they all adore Cason so maybe they'll cut me some slack) or then the 22 or 23 to Oct. 1 Can't wait to me you and all the NYC HHWers and others converging for the event!

Miss Karen - I saw a production of a musical called Suburb a number of years ago, mounted shortly after it won the Richard Rodgers award. I assume it's the same show? I enjoyed it very much, and thought it had some great musical numbers.

MBarnum & JMK-Thanks for the coastal town tips. I noticed Newport has a good number of hotels that seem to be very dog friendly.

We have a few steps here to Sherlock's potty area, we just don't want him taking too many of them & stressing his elbow joints.

FJL · « **Reply #173 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:51:19 PM »

Just ketched up. Now off to the tax office, and then to see GYPSY with Julie.

LOL!

Although quite honestly, if I could afford a larger home..one where we could both have our own space... I would be fine with having my mom live with me.

Nooo, no, no -- having parents move in with you (or you moving in with them) after about 18 ain't a good idea (and remind Cason if he ever acts like he's thinking about it someday). Us mothers may seem innocent enough once we get old, but ...

Mikey, then who gets the credit for you turning out to be such a sweet-heart?....

Bruce-More excellent vibes and xylophones to bring about a happy and quick resolution to your funding problem.

Did you know that you can look up the birth/death dates of people on the Social Security Death Index? I was skeptical, but I tried it on a few of my deceased relatives. Kind of creepy! I guess it is used as a tool in genealogy research.

Jane · « **Reply #177 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:55:18 PM »

Miss Karen, I would say Mikey gets the credit.

He does have a very nice brother, our ex FedEx guy.

Jane · « **Reply #178 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:56:24 PM »

Singdaw Keith does it all the time for his genealogy research. We never thought of it as creepy, just very convenient.

Jane · « **Reply #179 on:** July 25, 2007, 12:58:07 PM »

I'm off to take Sherlock for a walk so he can make the folks on the street smile. I do love watching their faces as we walk by. Of course a good number of those people stop us to spend time with him.
