BK, your tv was state of the art. That means it will be obsolete in a couple years.

I would hate for you to see the state of my tv. One can barely make out the images most of the time.

I was out of deodorant, and the brand I like seems to have discontinued the particular version that I like in the "unscented" variety, so I thought I'd try one of the scented versions.

This morning was my first experience with "Powder Fresh," and it will be my last. The scent is obnoxious and it is driving me to distraction! Ugh!!

You did know that SECRET is strong enough for a man, but is meant for a woman.

Perhaps, DR MBarnum. Perhaps.

Since this guy recommended it, I figured it would be OK:

How do you like THOSE underpants?

Well if they have it for men then some men must like it!

I guess it sort of smells like baby powder (which i like the smell of).

For me buying deodorant is a chore. Sometimes my mom will pick up an extra for me if there is a sale. But i almost always have to refuse it. The powder fresh is one of the only ones i can stand!

One of my coworkers hosted a program here last night and shared leftover refreshments with us today. I just had a square-inch portion of a Dorothy Lane Original Killer Brownie - Yum!

For Lorna Luft fans....my buddy Charles Bloom (former child actor, current playwrite and song writer and son of my interviewee, actress Carolyn Kearney) sent me this notice. I am posting it here as it seems like something some of you might find interesting:

Friends:

As you’ll recall from a few past e-mails, my work is often played on the popular Musical Theatre radio program, BROADWAY AT BEDTIME which originates in Melbourne, Australia. The host is performer, pianist and director, Will Conyers.

Tonight’s show is, indeed, a special one. Will’s in-studio guest will be Lorna Luft. She’ll be recounting, among other things, many memories about life with her mother, Judy Garland, and will be discussing her new cd, SONGS MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME. .

The show will air at 10pm tonight (NYC time) and 7pm in Los Angeles.

During the broadcast, two of my songs, WHAT’S A WOMAN TO DO? and IT IS WHAT IT IS (from the musical, PABLO) will be played and I’m extending you an invitation to listen in. It should be a fun, insightful show and, needless to say, I’m flattered that Will is sharing my work with Ms. Luft and have it heard alongside so many venerable classics.

IT IS WHAT IT IS. Isn't that a song from LaCage?

So, as some of you may remember, three-and-a-half years ago when I moved into the new home environment, I bought me a new state-of-the-art 65" Mitsubishi DLP TV. When I purchased it I already HAD a widescreen HD ready TV. THAT beast was already outmoded, I was told, because it didn't have HDMI inputs, which somehow had taken over the world since I'd bought the beast. So, I carefully asked if this was it, if this was truly HD and would work with all that was coming, including high-def DVD. I was assured it was. So, guess what? Now I'm told it isn't. Now I'm told that I'm only good enough for 1080i when 1080p is now the ticket. So, they were full of crap. I've got an i instead of a p and I am pissed with a p and irked with an i. They knew this was coming - they didn't just invent it out of the blue. Yes, a Blu-Ray player will upconvert to p but that isn't the same as BEING a p.

So, even if I wanted to do Blu-Ray, now I won't. And if anyone who bought this same TV three years ago feels the same sort of annoyance, they'll lose those sales, too. Bravo.

**A friend of mine in Long Beach has kindly offered to pick me up at the airport and drive me to Los Feliz, since he has to work in that area the afternoon I get in, so... Since I'll be saving some money there, I might as well save some more.

It is interesting that Wikipedia lists among the Notable Residents of Los Feliz, Bela Lugosi, even though he has been dead since 1956.

bk, I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, but I doubt seriously if you'd be able to tell ANY difference between 1080i and 1080p. Blu-ray (and HD-DVD) players as well as upconverting standard DVD players can all scale to 720p, 1080i, (and the most recent) to 1080p. In other words, the players can scale exactly to match what the resolution of your TV is. High def is high def, and unless you're sitting five feet or so from your TV screen, your eye simply would not be able to discern any difference at all.

You can get 1080p-1080i-720p (all high definition resolutions) through the component inputs on your TV. If you want high def, you can have it.

I spent all afternoon watching INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE. The newest Indiana Jones movie coming out very soon will have to go some to match this one for humor, action, thrills, and surprises.

And the DVD looks and sounds as good as standard DVD can ever hope to look and sound. Superb. I even engaged EX decoding to get the real surround feel from the soundtrack. Just incredible fun!

I just had a very strange computer experience (and one that didn't involve DR Coleslaw). I went to AOL Search to look up something about that city in Ohio that starts with a "C" (C*******d). it brought up the results for me, but when I went to close it, it opened a second window for the same thing. And when I went to close that it opened a third window and then a fourth window, and then a fifth, etc.; until it had opened sixteen search windows. I felt like Mickey Mouse in THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE. I finally just shut down the whole computer, because nothing else worked. It was very weird.
