DR Vixmom, thank you for your condolences.

I’m, so glad I didn’t miss the wonderful, beautiful wedding photos.  The photo of The Vixter smiling up at the camera is perfection.

DR Jennifer, the only thing I disliked about Ollie was who he aligned himself with. He seems like a nice guy...I don't think he is playing a very good game, and I had no doubt that he and Michelle would not keep their word with Dan.

Thank you DR JRand.   I look forward to the retake on the photos.

Hey, elmore, if you feel like it, do amazon reviews for the two Hofstetter books - they don't have all that many yet.

Back from the long jog - not too bad today.  Kind of chilly out, but it looks like the overcast is burning off now.

Perhaps!   But the last time I did that, she "popped in" for a moment.    :D


"She" was a fruit loop.

Thanks DB. I'll change the picture and see how it looks.

The problem seems to be that the picture looks good until I pop it into the avatar, then it goes all fuzzy, as you can see. Oh, well, at least it's not me.

Funny you should mention that.  

A few years later, I met a gentleman named Warren Hull who gave me the inside scoop on the Bugsy Siegel killing.  It didn't go down quite the way that Eddie told me, but very close.  

In fact, Hull's father (unknowingly) supplied the gun that killed Siegel.

Warren Hull and I did write a book together on the subject, entitled FAMILY SECRET, available from Amazon and other book dealers.

Thanks for the opportunity to give my book a plug.

 :)

Wasn't Bugsy mixed up the Virginia Hill, the ham heiress?

She gave a pretty saucy response to a Senate committee when she was asked if she had been supported by gangsters - something like:

"None of those guys ever gave me a dime!"

Although my favorite response from a moll when she was asked what she was doing on a particular night was:

"I wuz knittin' a mitten for my kitten."

Last night's PROJECT RUNWAY:


SPOILAGE


Sldkfjkfl lakjf lkjjk;lkaflkj ;lkjadsf;lkj a;lkdj ;lkj ij jkajr;lkjf;lkja;flkjas;lkf jas ;dlfkjas;ldkjf as;lkfjas;ldjf as;ldfj;l I was very disappointed in Keith last night.  I don't know if the editing is to blame or whether what we saw was the kind of attitude he has been displaying consistently.  Blayne commented on his attitude and made it clear something has been up with Keith.  I think he took Daniel's departure rather hard, and he hasn't been very good since.  His fashion sense the past two weeks has been crap.  His defense of his work doesn't reassure me of his future.

All of that said, and I agree with the decision as to who should go home, I thought the designers pretty much stepped up and knocked their respective "balls" out of the park.  Who knew they'd find any kind of inspiration in those materials.  Once again, I have to say I think Korto was the creme de la creme of the designers, but I also agree with the judges' decisions to reward fine work from other designers.  Korto is the best designer I've seen on the show in a long time...maybe ever.  She has stiff competition, too, but I always think her designs are just a bit better. I'm glad she takes their praised gracefully and doesn't bitch like Christian did when he didn't win every time.

Oh, well.  I've read some stuff Tim Gunn has said about this season.  Primarily, he thinks the show is kind of boring.  That might explain why he's less involved in critiquing them during the design phase.  He has been vocally critical of Stella and her "leatha" fetish and her standard "that's what I do" phrase every time she gets an audience to listen.    How funny last night that Leah did a dress that was right up Stella's alley, but Stella's outfit was kind of dull, dull, dull.  Jerrell was on target, too, as was Terri.  I think the three black designers -- Korto, Terri and Jerrell -- are interesting, unpredictable and generally very entertaining.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Xldkkjj djkfjkjkakjldkj a;ldjf ;lkj k;jalkfj;lkjaoijhkljl;kjf;ljkdf;lakjsdg ;lkasjg 'lakjl;kjfsadlkjadf;lkajsdf;laksj ;laksj g;lkjsg;laskjf ;lskjf s;lk jasldkj choctaw dropjaw stockslaw slipscrawl.

I think Ollie ruined his chances from the gitgo when he teamed up with April.  April wasn't a good player and she wasn't a good judge of character.  Ollie did only what April told him to do.  Once she was gone he tried to step up and put on a game face, but he was way out of his league.

Jerry's behavior is indefensible.  That he has allied himself consistently with the dumbest players in BB history says more than I care to elaborate upon.

Yes, and she used to live near our house in Marietta. She bought the bungalow from her mother in the 1930's for 11K. She also bought a horse that she boarded nearby, and that's how she got around town. I bet there are some stories there, waiting to be told!

I had a very nice mini-gathering myself with Ginny and Richard. Lunch was sparkling and tasty and so large that I took half of mine home. I will have it for dinner after I finish the laundry.

After lunch I walked G and R through Union Square Park to Park Avenue South so they could take the bus up town to their museum on Madison Avenue.

I'm all checked in for the airport tomorrow. My boarding pass is in my folder and I'm ready to go. Problem is, I'm still here! In my mind I'm in Madison and Fort Atkinson.

Good Afternoon!

Well, the recording session went rather well.  -And let's just say that I am very grateful for digital editing and post-production. Of course, there were a bunch of small "spots" that I heard during the final playback, but once the bass and guitar are layered on top that should help hide my "sins".  ;)

Whew!
