Wednesday morning greetings! We took ourselves totally off line last night because of the lightening and just now reconnected. Guess there might be more on the way, according to DR JRand.

I just realized after reading Ginny's post from last night that if I want to see her and Richard I'll have to work fast because I leave for Wisconsin on August 29 and they get in on August 27

DR Ben - we have plans for the evening of the 27th, but nothing for anytime on the 28th. Maybe we could mosey down to your neighborhood and have lunch together that day? Will you be working the day before you leave?

In recent days, I listened to the CD of Passing Strange. I guess I admire what Stew is trying to do, but I don't think that it shall be making many return trips to my player.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm NOT playing and listening to renditions of "You Don't Own Me", "It's My Party", "Heatwave", "Son of a Preacher Man", "Falling", etc., etc., etc., (ah, a King & I reference) today. Ahhh...

Good morning, all!

Since there are so many good cooks and foodies here at HHW, I'm asking for suggestions. I've been invited to a party at a friend's house. They have a big lap pool and recently bought a video projector, stretched out a sheet and bought some outdoor speakers so they could watch movies by the pool (or in the pool!). They decided to have a Dive-In Movie get-together next weekend, and chose To Kill A Mockingbird". They asked folks to bring "Southern" side dishes. This a very old Marietta family, so they know Southern food.

Any suggestions of something fun to bring that a novice cook (me) could make? I'd love to find something that is a new twist on "Southern".

DR edisaurus - Maybe you could show up with a nice antipasti platter... That's Southern... Southern Italy.

Ooohh... Aaaahh.... Chocolate Chip Cookies...

*I've actually had that cookie at Jacques Torres' shoppe. It's a very good cookie, however, they do offer some of them "warm". They are kept warm by a griddle set on low. It is nice to get a warm cookie, however, depending how long they've been sitting on the warmer, the resulting cookie seems to get slightly overcooked.

**Since it is summer, they are now offering ice cream sandwiches made with those cookies and their homemade ice cream. YUM!

FJL, thanks for the clarification. I did find it passing strange that your first post didn't seem positive, because I don't know that I've ever read a post by you about any show where you didn't like the show.

bk · « **Reply #97 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:18:24 AM »

I'm still a bit groggy.

bk · « **Reply #98 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:19:01 AM »

I feel groggy and soggy and tired
After I run maybe then I'll feel wired
And alive - yes, alive, but alive!

JMK · « **Reply #99 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:20:04 AM »

Yes, BK, that's the site, and it also is where you can find every Columbia Percy Faith album (and unreleased gems) on CD.

I just looked up chitlins.

And wished that I hadn't.

I'm glad you found it. I suppose I ought to have put "chitterlings" in parens afterward...but that makes the vileness of it sound acceptably "formal".

My work day is quickly going to hell in a handbasket. And it's not even my work - it's my colleague's desk; she's on vacation!

So what better to do than come on HHW and post?

Sounds good to me. I will be working on the 28th. It's a full day before a half-day and even though Friday is an official half day at work if I take off the day it's considered one full vacation day (chinchee basards) so I'll go in on Thursday. But that doesn't mean we can't have a fun lunch time get together.

FJL · « **Reply #104 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:50:25 AM »

BK - When I don't like a show, I just say nada, especially since I've found this here site is googlable.

I guess time will tell whether moving TITLE OF SHOW to Broadway is courageous or foolhardy. But these producers have had enough hits that they can afford to take a risk of putting their investors through a miss every now and then. So many inside jokes, though, and the over-exuberance of the Titleists drove me crazy at first, but I adjusted.

For example, I mean, so many of us love love love Mary Stout, but how many people outside of the dedicated theater fans will find the banter about her to be very funny?

singdaw · « **Reply #108 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:05:11 AM »

OK. Looks like I'm gonna have to log off and take care of some ~~s*&t~~ stuff.

Laters!

Ask DR MBarnum; I'm sure he dreamed for several years about the hunky neighbor mowing the lawn au naturel!

Indeed.

However, the new neighbor is not nearly as hunky, and he also does not seem interested in doing yardwork...at all...as can be seen by the very tall grass. They have mowed the yard only once since moving in a few months ago.

I think I found it - at least the label I was thinking of, and they do have the Barry Sisters coming, so I'm sure this is it: www.oldies.com

That is the sight BK, but it was I who posted it, not JMK. You are mixing up your Oregonians again.

bk · « **Reply #111 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:13:29 AM »

Banter about Mary Stout? Sounds hi-hi-hilarious. I think this is a show I can skip. For me, this type of show sounds like a college show. Broadway has been overtaken by this sort of thing - some hit, some miss, but I've never really cared for any of them, and that includes Urinetown. They all seem like exactly what they are - Fringe or festival shows.

I have been sick as a dog for the last several days...and today I am just going to stay home and sit on the couch.

DR JRand, glad ALL MY SONS is shaping up!

MBarnum · « **Reply #114 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:17:42 AM »

DR JulieC40, glad the new job is going well! It always seems to take about 2 weeks before things start settling into place and the stress level lowers.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #115 on:** July 09, 2008, 10:22:26 AM »

~~~~~GET WELL VIBES TO DR MBARNUM~~~~~

*I was actually "sick" for the past two weeks myself. Well, there just seemed to be something in the Ft. Lauderdale air that did not agree with my sinuses - and, consequently, my throat. And then coupled with the either arctic or non-existent air conditioning in the hotel, well... However, I could tell as soon as I landed in NYC this past Saturday, that me head was clearing up again, literally.

Larry, do you perchance know soprano Carole Farley? Does she ever read this board? I think she was my mystery "Carole" email from the other day. I am well and truly confused.

I know who she is; we've never met.
