JRand, cute photo yesterday of your sweet girl.

Thanks. She liked the snow a few days ago much more than she is liking the thunderstorms of today.

It's very windy out, but the sky is blue and I am not.

We are on the phone with Keith's mother. She just gave us the same weather report.

Why, thank you JRand.

Been getting rid of lots of clutter, but finding to my surprise how much STUFF I really want to keep for sentimental value. I'll have to be tougher on myself about throwing things out.

That is one of my biggest problems and has been for a lifetime!

I think we all owe DR Edisaurus and Jeanne a big round of applause for doing the DVD.

Re: last night's birthday dinner.

There's a lot of discussion on the foodie sites lately about the growing trend of going to restaurants and ordering a lot of small plates, appetizers really, and sharing. Restaurateurs and chefs are finding their customers really enjoy this kind of plating, and are encouraging it more and more.

Without knowing what was planned for our esteemed one's dinner, I pointed out on one of the boards that Chinese restaurants have always been this kind of experience.

So, cheers to our esteemed BK (and the Pattis mere et fille) for leaping to the forefront of trendy dining!

I hope it doesn't rain tonight. I don't enjoy working in the rain.

I bet-clear sky wishes for SWW

Well, elmore spent around an hour between 7:30 and 8:30 this morning trying to log on and then went off to Toyland. When I got back about 30 minutes ago, I emailed a lot of folk, as you asked, to tell them the site was down.

Silly me!

DR elmore-

You are so cute.

Time to get to work.

I shall shortly be on my way to the Alex Theatre to see The Nutcracker, after which I shall return.

I should go for a walk now the ice has melted. I'm having trouble getting motivated. I'll clean up around here some first and then go.

And by the end of this evening, we should have two count them two video clips on You Tube from the LACC The Brain From Planet X.

bk · « **Reply #195 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:05:12 PM »

And I heard from Brunel University that the show was a huge success and everyone loved it, and they, too, will be posting some clips on You Tube in the near future.

Only 1800 more posts to achieve a new record.

There's another batch of caramel corn in the oven, so it should start smelling good around here soon!

Jane · « **Reply #199 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:15:56 PM »

I want some of Bruce's chocolate cake & some of Ginny's caramel corn.

NHK Cup Ice Skating today on ESPN or ESPN2 at 4 p.m. EST (Taped). I haven't read the results, so I don't know who wins!

I do know the results, but I won't say a word (or type a thing).

Good afternoon!

I tried for a couple of hours this morning to log on but as the server was down, it was impossible. We had a very mild day here. Warm enough to go without the heat on and even warmer temps are promised for tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #202 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:22:36 PM »

So happy to read about bk's wonderful 60th birthday bash. Did the inordinately large number of posts and hits cause the server breakdown, I wonder?

Matt H. · « **Reply #203 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:23:32 PM »

I have spent all afternoon with LOST. I watched six episodes this afternoon (Getting ready to start # 12 when I go back down. This is one of the best shows on television, bar none.

Matt H. · « **Reply #204 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:25:05 PM »

Only one of the six episodes I watched this afternoon had a commentary, and it was a very good one with Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, and producer/writer Carlton Cuse talking seriously about the episode and their approach to their craft. Most enjoyable and eons ahead of the jokey, silly back-and-forth in the first commentary with different participants.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:25:52 PM »

I will continue with LOST tonight, but at 9 I will make a segue to DEXTER and watch it "live." Since there are no commercials, that makes it easy.

About half of this batch will become gift bags for a craft/talent auction tomorrow evening - c'mon with me and bid on one!

Jane · « **Reply #207 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:31:29 PM »

OK, sounds like fun.

Matt H. · « **Reply #208 on:** December 09, 2007, 01:43:54 PM »

Heading down now to clean my bathroom and then back to the den for more viewing.
