I'm certain now that it's not allergies.

Sigh.

Bummer! While hiking Sherlock today, which I won't do tomorrow, I thought about the advantages of a summer cold over a winter one. In the summer the air is warm & moist which is good for a cough, plus you can always get watermelon.

On the way home today we stopped for more watermelon & soup.

Listening to Randy Newman's new album - best he's done since Good Ol' Boys, and much more akin to his early stuff like Sail Away. I'd read a couple of reviews on amazon and the way these people made it sound didn't make me want to get it - it sounded like it was more like his last album, just a small group of musicians. It's not that at all - full orchestra on certain tracks. Some great new songs, one of which Mr. Haines will be recording whenever we get around to doing his new album.

Every post you make ISN'T about a TV show plot or reality show winner. Therefore, posting "SPOILER" isn't an issue.

But if you did...or more to the point...if you were watching such a show but for some reason had to record it for later viewing...you'd probably be very happy that MOST of us who post about these things do so with a spoiler warning because there are people here who don't get to watch the shows as they air.

That said, I know DR Jennifer was disappointed to learn the winner of that cooking show but the truth is, the game wasn't about that show -- it was about a name that fit the initials.

Sometimes shit happens. It's not intentional. It just is.

The point, I think, is to not make a huge deal of it when it happens and it's quite obvious it was an inadvertent revelation.

Let's retain the status quo of being careful discussing a recent episode of some show by posting SPOILER so that those who cannot catch up until the weekend (or, in the case of one DR, until the season is on DVD) won't have their pleasure spoiled.

But also maintain an objectivity that sometimes things get revealed without the writer meaning to spoil anything.

Very well said.

Here's a description of Newman's album from amazon:

Randy Newman's first studio album of all new material in nearly a decade is, by turns, hilarious, poignant and scathingly satirical. Harps and Angels often has an easy going Crescent City feel, with Newman on piano fronting a small combo and revealing, as Rolling Stone put it after the Carnegie Hall show, his serious love and study of the New Orleans piano tradition.

Fronting a small combo??? I wonder what album THEY listened to because it certainly wasn't this one.

Since we're on page 6, should we gossip about Jerry Orbach's greedy son?

And make "I Only Have Eyes For You" the song of the day?

Doesn't that require a SPOILER ALERT?

Sherlock was very sad when I left him this morning to go to the Growers Market. I knew I couldn’t control him and carry boxes of blueberries as my arms & body are very sore today. He looked very unhappy as I slipped out the door. Keith found him curled up at the door looking very sad. When I returned I had to take him hiking. On the way home I waited in the car while Keith did grocery shopping, and then I went into the drug store. Amazing how exhausted I was after my big outing.

I just remembered a fun thing that happened on the hiking trail. For safety reasons I usually keep Sherlock on leash until we get up the narrow trail leading in. He was ahead of me doing his normal pull Mommy up the trail (today having help up the hill was appreciated) when suddenly he stopped. Crossing the narrow trail were several deer who gave us a quick check before trotting down the embankment. In all my years hiking there I have never seen deer on this part of the trail. Even more surprising was that Sherlock didn’t attempt to go after them, still I was glad he was on the leash. I wasn’t concerned about him running after the deer, just running down the steep embankment & injuring his elbows.

bk, glad you're enjoying Randy Newman's new album. I really love the orchestrations---they add an extra element of humor or sometimes irony. I wish he could take his "small combo" on tour with him!
