Some of the places in DC and area I have visited: Library of Congress, Ag Department, Voice of America, Kennedy Center, Smithsonian (History and Space Museums), Old Post Office, Old Ford Theatre (even got to see a play there, On Shiloh's Hill), Wolf Trap, Arlington and the tomb of the unkown soldier,  Burn Brae Dinner Theatre (got to see THe King and I)

Went to see our Congressional Delegation both times and only to the House and Senate galleries. The house one was fun, a fist fight broke out.  Too bad some of my pics are in storage at my parents or I could share a picture with you. It was an adventure.

I even got to host a talent show. The gal from Kansas and I had way too much fun!

We stayed at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, MD.

did they catch the shooter?  thank goodness no one was hurt.  did the driver maintain control of the bus?

Not to my knowledge was he caught. The driver was very level headed bloke. He has driven in a few tough neighborhoods.

I do recall the National 4H center filing a complaint and the bus was repaired promptly, within 24 hours.  Apologies were tendered to our delegation. What threw the driver off was some repair work and our hunch is that the construction guy had no clue that we were not a typical DC bus and waved us to go in the wrong direction.

Lunch ran very late, and I was disappointed that I wasn't going to have enough time to watch the entire LADY VANISHES this afternoon so I could start on the bonus features tonight. Oh, well, I'll have to get to the bonuses tomorrow.

I began my viewing by finishing up the CSI/WITHOUT A TRACE crossover episode. This got huge ratings last week, but it really was not among their better cases. It was only fair.

Next, I zipped through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. The gay characters were not there and they don't appear to be on tomorrow either.

I got my old copy of THE LADY VANISHES OUT and put it in one DVD player and put the new version in another DVD player. Immediately I was struck by the differences in tint. The old one has a slightly gun metal blue tint to it. The new one is unquestionably black and white. I guess due to the tint, the blacks and shadows seem to be richer (I just watched about ten minutes of it concurrently by switching back and forth between the two versions.)

The new Criterion continues their policy of slightly windowboxing the image. The old one doesn't do that.

As I said this morning, they've ported over the Bruce Eder commentary, so obviously it's the same on both.

Somehow I don't think Sherlock will blow over in the wind.   Would that be dog tipping?

Ok gang, here's my new website.  It just went up. It may need some tweaking (or is it tweeking?) in any event, at least I have a site now.

LOL, it takes me directly to the site, but that won't help business much, will it.  Anyway, I emailed my web guy so hopefully it will be running soon...I'll let you know

Jeanne, if amazon actually paid for what I sent then I'd be thrilled.  But it's all consignment, so when I see them sitting on twenty-three copies of a particular CD and they order twenty-seven more, then I have to wonder.  

Ah.

I think the site should be working.  I just sent myself a message from the contact page and it went through. Earlier I sent a couple and they didn't end up in my inbox.

THE LADY VANISHES has always been one of my favorite Hitchcock films. Of course, I may have to watch them all again and rethink it. :-)

I cleaned the dining room this morning, so I'll be heading down now to see if THE LADY VANISHES. Somehow I believe she will!  ;D

Mine, too. The Hollywood movies Hitchcock did are so much slicker, of course, with greater production values and a richer look overall. But for sheer storytelling, it's hard to match it.

Hi all, just wanted to let you know that I arrived home, safe and sound.

I went and got the dogs and took them to the dog park.  They were so happy to see me.  I felt bad that I had left them and that I'll have to leave them again sometimes.

I'm pretty tired but glad that I went and saw that the graves were as they should be.  That takes one weight off of my mind.

I was also very glad to get with my family.  I really enjoyed spending time with them.  

Oh, I did see a plane in the distance just after we left Pittsburgh and it was heading West.  I waved, just in case it was DR Elmore.

Welcome home DR Danise. Glad you arrived safe and sound. I can relate to feeling guilty leaving pets behind.
