Der Brucer and I took a break from housecleaning and had a yummilicious dinner.

We went to a place in downtown Rehoboth called Celcius.  They have an early-bird special, buy two appetizers (or two desserts) and an entree, and pay cash, and the second entree is free!  Not a bad deal.  He had escargot, followed by a crispy half duck, and I had a wild mushroom pasta followed by seared ahi on wasabi mashed potatoes.

This also gave us a good chance to go over the floorplan again and try to figure out where what pieces of furniture will be going.  This house is going to seem a lot different with real furniture!

And bookcases!  Every place we can, wall-to-wall bookcases!  I love bookcases!

And when my kitchen table gets in, the house will feel like it's really our home!

And I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Well, where are you from, and how did you get to where you are now?

You've probably noticed, we're an eclectic group here, so don't be shy!  We like people who stand out in a crowd!

DR Danise (a.k.a. Diet Buddy) - My "diet" will start once I'm back from Memphis - which will be next Tuesday.  -Although with my schedule in Memphis, I'll probably be starting this Saturday since I start at 8:00AM, and don't finish until 11:00PM - Oh, but I do get a lunch and a dinner break, so don't think I'll be starving.  -And that's my schedule for Saturday, Sunday and Monday... So...  less snacking time.  *But there's always the hote bar after the auditions are done... ;-)  However, I get in mid-day on Friday, and my lunch will be at The Cupboard (a great old-fashioned "meat and three"), and dinner will be at a BBQ place TBA - or TBD if you prefer.

OK - I hope that jumble made sense...

NEXT!

There's nothing quite so homey as bookcases.  Filled with books.  Books, books everywhere....!

And if you're looking for bookends, you obviously don't have enough books!

I've been on a quest for BK the last several weeks and in doing so I came across this amusing posting he made a year ago or so and it made me laugh. So I thought I'd share it again with all you wonderful people.

My Barry (Malinow) spoof, entitled Barry in Concert. I played Barry (in white tie and tails, big shoes, and big hair), singing his greatest hits, including this one:

His name was Marvin,
He was a show girl
Yes, he wore panties and wore hose
Couldn’t get enough of those
And he was cute as hell
And that is why I fell
At the Ramrod
Down there on Highland
It was an island full of sleaze
Everybody on their knees.
At the Ramrod,
Down there on Highland
Tight jeans and tight buns
You might find the right buns
At the Ramrod!
You get it all…

So true.  I do have one set of bookends, my bronzed baby shoes.

I have floor-to-ceiling bookcases and two rolling library ladders...and six thousand books.  I also have many nice sets of book ends but they are never properly displayed because they're buried on bookcase shelves.

Good luck to Swishy on the results of her audition.

He actually did it when nobody was looking!

"Well, where are you from, and how did you get to where you are now?"

First question: New York City.

Second question: Through a lot of hard work and sleeping with the right people.
You can't get there by doing the latter without a good bit of the former. And no matter how hard you work there will always be co-workers who think you got to where you are by shtupping the right people. Try not to dissapoint them.

"You've probably noticed, we're an eclectic group here, so don't be shy!  We like people who stand out in a crowd!"

Thank you, but I think I stand out very nicely.

Don't worry, kids. I don't bite. Neither does Percy.

Fireplace - Kindling and firewood? Newspapers and firewood?  Kindling, newspapers and firewood?  Duraflame?  Duraflame and firewood?  Or a gas fireplace?

Well, if you watched the Superbowl ads you'd know the very best way:

Place a votive candle atop the logs.
Light said candle.
Back the BUD LITE horse up to the fire.
DUCK!

How did I find you? Through SilverDaddies.com, if you really MUST know.

And the photo? It's my Bar Mitzvah picture, silly!

Oy! Do not check out Silver Daddies.com. This enquiring mind (okay: this yenta) should've known better. Friends, don't do it.

Very relieved my American Idol favorite Matt (the bearish football player from the Rose Bowl) made it through to the next round of judging. Was sorry the fellow they thought looked older than he was got eliminated. He seemed really talented.

I should think that even the most innocent, cornfed ngenue might know EXACTLY what SilverDaddies.com is a site for, Dan.  

All kidding aside, Someone I met there told me about this site. Sorry if this offends. But, you asked.

Panni,

I was told by a maven that the squash for your display should be the turban variety. He also suggested scattered cranberries, strung-up onions, and, not knowing our TCB, said something about hung pheasants.

Why, Dan, I am shocked that you would think I would make something out of that!
