No, I figured he would get the handsome waiter's number, and then call and ask to speak to his father.

And then share the waiter's number with you?  ;)

DR Cillaliz -

Good for you, above the fray, avoiding stepping in any of the bull flying around your current workplace!   :)

Thanks, Singdaw.

No, then he could get me the phone number of the father's father.

We are getting DR CILLALIZ's rain this morning as it winds its way to DR GINNY and DRJOSESPIANO.

See what a great weather forecaster I am. I look outside and tell you that soon it will be doing the same thing!   It's still raining here

RE: last night's DANCING WITH THE STARS.

I was a bit disappointed with who left too. But i knew it would be heather and john in the B2. I loved heather the first few weeks. But did not care for her this week or last. And she seemed like she was ready to go. All that travel and having to go home for her daughter. I wonder if she is not happy to go.

I think the F3 will surely be laila, apolo and joey.  I'm not sure if ian or billy ray will be the 4th. I thikn ian is stronger. But he needs to step things up. He has the potential to be quite good. But unless he loosens up he could be gone soon. I think john will go next though.

John should go next.  I didn't think his fan base was that big, but I guess it's bigger than Heather's.  I haven't liked either Ian or Joey.  Well I haven't liked Billy Ray or John either, lol.   I guess you could say I want Laila and Apolo to win.

DR Ginny, how long will you be here?  I am flying to Chicago on the 29th.   :(
Then back to NY on Sun the 1st.  Then on to DR Cillaliz's neck of the woods [I think] on the 3rd or 4th of July.

Where?  That will be my first week of freedom

The Society of Professional Journalists style book says that "Internet" is correct....it is a noun.

When used as an adjective - ie internet connection - it is not capitalized.

She seems to have had a steady fall from "the one to beat" to now.



The voice is there for sure, but she's had a knack for making TERRIBLE song choices and then singing them all the same - power, power, power. Very rote and very dull. And as the weeks have passed, I've noticed she has poor breathing habits while singing while clips phrases in half and makes her sound amateurish.

ARPA, the Advanced Research Projects Agency IIRC. (Der B, do you recall?) At that time it was private, but provided a means to communicate and pass files among the various Naval labs and many universities.
Oh yes, I remember it well....
(used it to move data files)

There was much discussion about the potential for moving classifed information electronically.

The happy HHW Hollywood group!!! What a fun night it was. I am so very glad we could all be together!



My favorite picture from the bunch you've posted DR MBarnum. What a great group of folks!

I spent a good deal of time watching a good portion of THE SOUND OF MUSIC today. Again, I synched up the two versions and switched back and forth. The Five Star Edition is definitely a darker transfer; the 40th Anniversary one lighter, softer, with colors popping a bit more. The Five Star is also somewhat grainier than the newer one, too.

I ended up watching much of the film from the Five Star Edition when I tired of switching back and forth. The transfer has a Dolby Digital 5.0 track (no dedicated bass track for the subwoofer), but I heard some nice bass during the thunderstorm sequence and at other portions of the music.

I watched BOSTON LEGAL from last night. A rather silly case, but always good to see the Jerry Espinson character and a beautiful scene between him and Alan near the end. Shatner was hilarious last night.

The Mark Valley-Julie Bowen storyline is so dull. Even the writers don't seem invested in it.

THE SOPRANOS had a very talky episode last night punctuated by several jump-out-of-your-seat moments. Only six left.

And the mail hasn't come yet, so I don't know if I'll have a new Ultimate Bond DVD to watch tonight or not. Argh!

I discovered yesterday that the chimney cap that keeps the varmits out of my chimney blew off in the storm.  So tomorrow my chimney sweep will be coming over to fix it and inspect and clean the chimneys.  I won't go up on the roof with him this time, a slate roof isn't the place to hang out

I fear Lakisha may be the one going home tonight.  It ought to be Chris or Blake, neither of whom has vocal talent to match the rest of the finalists.

We seem to be heading for a Melinda, Jordin, Phil top three.

But then what? Melinda and Jordin might well split a constituency, leaving Phil standing for the last round.

DR Jose, I don’t think Craig or I could hope with his knowingly driving without a license, or insurance, unless it was an emergency.  I will drive as far as I can, if we have to stop then at least we will be that much closer to our destination in the morning.  What time does it get dark back east these days?  I have to drive through the mountains!!  I will probably get carsick even if I’m driving.  How far into the drive do we reach the mountains, and when do we get out of them?

We need to get to Pittsburgh as quickly as possible to find him housing around the school.  It won’t be easy with a dog & I expect many of the places will be taken by then.  We need to try and find a doggie day care, hopefully get him a driver’s permit, etc.  I’m very anxious to get there & don’t look forward to even one more hotel.  If I can’t make it we will stop along the way.

Thanks for all you help.  I like knowing what I have gotten myself into.




DR Jane - I'm about to meet DR singdaw for dinner.. but...

You basically hit the mountains about 30 miles on 270, and once you're on I-70, then, it is mountains for a good chunk of the drive.  Well, as least big hills, so...

Do you have AAA?  They can give you a topical map.  Additionally, you might want to check out the Dr. Gridlock column archives at WashingtonPost.com for alternate routes.  Or even check with your car insurance company and see if they have some sort of trip advisor to help you out.

OK... gotta go.  More....

Laters..

I've had a rather tasty lunch....a small soup of beans and ham and a largish salad of field greens, hardboiled eggs and chicken, tossed lightly with olive oil and a splash of lemon.

Yum.

May I have some chopped anchovy in my salad, please?

I concur....IF Phil continues to deliver the goods, it may be a case of a late-bloomer vying for the top prize.

I did indeed greet everyone as in the photograph with Miss Patti, including the waiter.  The waiter, if you must know, was NOT the person who took the photographs - that was one of the busboys.

Back from a fun work session with Alet.  We did a nice put-together of two songs I love - One For The Road and Something Cool.

I know the judges have been much kinder to Chris the past couple of weeks.  He HAS stepped up his game.

Last night, Paula commented that Blake's performance was something "new" in his repertoire...a softer, gentler side that we haven't seen before.   She obviously has killed off ALL her short-term memory cells....because Blake gave us one of those softer, gentler performances LAST WEEK...and found himself in the bottom 3.
