I was lucky!  I found two pictures--old and a bit faded but of the gardens we used to have.

The first picture was of the Manger that my Dad made and the second was of the log house he made.  

OMG--a picket fence!  We had a picket fence around out platform, too, way back when we lived in Camden, NJ.  My older sisters will often talk about how wonderful our under-the-tree platform was before I came along.  Evidently, I liked playing Godzilla when I was a wee one, and would often run amok amid our Plasticville village.  The hospital, the drive-in hamburger joint, and a number of fine homes were destroyed in my furious attack.

Well, all, I'm ready to crash.  I've done enough damage for one day!  Good night, everyone.

I tried to post a few minutes ago and nothing happened.  Good thing I saved it.  There is no way I would have remembered everything.

Yes Bruce, I popped in for about two minutes earlier today and had to leave. :(

JRand how was Kongo?  Sadly I didn’t have a doll house.  I did have a little playhouse in our back yard.

MBarnum I hope Jeff gets to see a bit of Ireland and Portland during his travels.  

Panni, wonderful photos.

Danise thank you for encouraging Tomovoz.
I’m sorry, I'm sure it was very scary, but I laughed when I read your dream.  
Danise  ;D I didn’t pick up on the PA accent, just the southern.  I will have to listen more closely next time.

Dan (the Man) lovely photos to go with DERBRUCER’S great story.  

Danise I’m glad you found your very special photos.

Well Mr BK - I ordered 2 copies of WRITER'S BLOCK before reading all the notes.  MBARNUM - one was going to be YOUR Birthday present!  

Oh well.

Mr Bk - please just send both books to me.  I will give the second to the Evil Kurt as his Christmas present!

Thanks!

DRJANE - I only watched about 20 minutes of KONGO and couldn't take it.  However, just before that was the wonderful DODSWORTH with Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton, and Mary Astor.  What a terrific movie!

Loving the Christmas pictures!  And the doll house/castle stories.  Poor Barbie - I remember the Trade-in, but I don't think my sisters took theirs in.  Their hair was in bad shape and they had ballpoint pen underwear drawn on them by someone! ?????

DRDANISE - I POTO.  Gary Mauer was very good in the lead....wonderful singer and actor.  Rebecca Pitcher as Christine was not QUITE up to him, but she was fine.  Tim Martin Gleason is probably the weakest Raoul I have seen, but he was okay.  Kim Stengel was okay as Carlotta but really missed a LOT of the comedy in the role that I have seen others play.  She got some laughs, but I have heard BIG laughs at some of the lines she threw away.  Everyone else was okay - the chandelier was the smoothest operating one I have EVER seen, and Patti Davidson-Gorbea and Kate Wray were OUTSTANDING as Madame Giry and Meg!

I think you will like it!

I’m super tired which seems to be my normal state these days.  Have I mentioned we miss our king size bed?  The queen bed in our guest room just isn’t big enough for the four of us to sleep comfortably.  Only 4-6 weeks more before our bathroom is finished and we can return to our bedroom.  Everything that needs to be ripped out has been.  The frame for the new whirlpool tub is in.  For me that will be the best feature of our new bathroom.   :)

Howdy, folks...! Just had a spare few minutes and thought I'd drop by to say hello and assure everyone that I am still alive. The Met season is in full swing now and between that and my suddenly and inexplicably full social calendar I've been incredibly busy. When I got home from seeing CINDERELLA at City Opera today I realized that I have had something to do every single day for the last three weeks and all of this week is booked, too - including Sundays, which are usually my day of rest. Oh, well...I'm seeing a lot of theatre, which is wonderful (most of it, anyway - I'm seeing BROOKLYN on Tuesday night, so there goes 'wonderful.')

MTI is still there and so am I. I've decided that I'm going to try to avoid a second year there if at all possible. I'm going to hit every audition I possibly can in the spring, though I know I'll take a huge pay cut and I'll lose my benefits if I leave MTI. Oh, well. I'm not sure I could work there another year and maintain my sanity.

Nothing worth reporting has really happened in a while. I think I'll be moving in January to a new apartment, which excites me more than I can tell. The mice have been galavanting around this place for the last couple of months and I'm ready to ditch them. The new apartment is lovely -  three bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, a full-sized kitchen, living room and dining room with a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline. I'm very excited.

No news on the dating scene. Oh well.

Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi. I'll do my best to get back more often - things are slowing down (sort of) at MTI, so maybe I'll try to sneak online and post from time to time...

Nice to see DR Jason after a long absence.

COLD CASE had a very interesting gay-themed story on tonight that was, as is often the case with that show, very poignant with its resolution.
