When you were a kid, did any of you ever consider yourselves lucky to find yourself in possession of a large cardboard box...something that a refrigerator might come in...or something a bit smaller....but something that became a fort, a store, a hideout, or what-have-you?

If we had large pieces of cardboard, we'd use 'em to slide down hills in the summer....cardboard will slie pretty well on fresh grass!

And on the really hot days, I always found those boxes appealing as shade something to drag into area where there were trees/shrubs ...I'd just open up both ends of the box, stretch out and nap.


We used to use the cardboard to damn up the crick under the bridge in the summertime.  Course that was before Pennywise came to town.

Brent's versatility evidently knows no bounds.  :)


Now that would inspire me to play Herbie!

DR MattH, I have some great news for you. VERONICA MARS has been renewed!  Yippee.

And for those who watch apparently the WB's ONE TREE HILL will be back. But not EVERWOOD.

FYI, today is Liberace's birthday.  If he were still alive, he'd be 87 years old.  It's also Janet Jackson's 40th birthday.  Just had to share. :)

Johnnie Wilder Jr, lead singer of the 1970s R&B/pop group HEATWAVE passed away at age 56.

HEATWAVE sang one of my all time favorite songs ALWAYS AND FOREVER....and of course they had a big hit with BOOGIE NIGHTS, as well!

Intersting to note that Johnnie was in a car accident that left him paralyzed in 1979, but continued singing with HEATWAVE even after that.

Watched more of GOOD NIGHT AND GOD LUCK and struck all over again with the wonderful cinemastography. I have nothing against color, but the movies lost something special when B&W was abandoned by most filmmakers.

That is great news about VERONICA MARS, but I think they got it backwards in regards to ONE TREE HILL and EVERWOOD. They're letting go something good and keeping something, well, mediocre.

Lowest common denominator, and all that....

Thank you all for your best wishes....it is all set.  Tomorrow I have off to surprise my mother at the PEO meeting where she gets her award for being a member for 60 years.  She doesn't know about the award or me being there, so that should be fun.  Then I drive to Des Moines for our office seminar on Thursday. Friday I tie up loose ends then leave and don't have to go back to the office until July 10th!!!!!!   And it's all paid leave. I feel tons better already.


Ginny, I know what you mean about a week not being enough. I haven't taken more than one week vacation probably since 1993 or even before that. I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference

Have a nice time off Cilla

IDOL tonight.

I think Elliott blew it, and not because he gave bad performances but he simply gave accomplished performances without any "showoff" moments and used songs which would be much less familiar with the general public, a problem which has plagued him for much of the season. While I could appreciate the quality, I'm not sure without a "wow" factor he's going to make it into the finals. I know *I* voted for him for two hours solid, but the one time I tried everyone's three lines each, they were ALL busy. So, everyone's voting heavily this close to the end.

Katharine had the best vocal of the night ("Over the Rainbow," but it wasn't the revelation the judges seemed to think it was. She overdid the melisma with it as well) and also the worst vocal of the night (her first song where she missed the key change and had her usual screechy high notes).

Taylor by far had the most confident air about him; I'd truly be shocked if he didn't make it to the finals.

Since Simon went on TV last night and proclaimed Taylor and Katharine as the probable and deserving finalists, it didn't surprise me that he overpraised her tonight to aid her so he could look right.

LAW & ORDER: SVU took its plot from the headlines involving Tom Cruise's condemnation of drugs for dealing with psychiatric problems. A movie star was changed to a rock star, and the problem was bipolar disorder instead of postpartum depression, but it didn't take a genius to know where the story came from.

I found the case interesting but the trial sequence anticlimactic.
