DR Jennifer - If you purchase canned minced clams, they're chopped up pretty fine.

I missed the word minced.  Although I don't think i've ever heard of minced clams (which is probably why i didn't notice the word). The only clams i've ever used/bought are the whole clams.

Got an e-mail from Hildy's new family:

Mike,

Sorry not to get back to you first thing this morning.  I am a little slow today.


Brent loves Hildy!  We had her in the car when we picked him up from his buddies.  We told him that his present was in there and would he like to open it early.  Of course he said yes!  He got in the car and immediately had tears in his eyes.  He was speechless.  He was thrilled.  

Hildy had a great time in the snow.  She is a great dog.  She even ate last night.  We cheated by putting some canned food in.  She hadn't eaten until last night.  Thanks so much.  

Pam


It made me very happy!

I like Captain D's, Long John Silver's, Arthur Treacher's...

On a finer note, crab and lobster are good. Catfish. When I am in the midwest, good ol' lake perch.

Thinking about Hildy romping around in the snow (they evidently took her with them to go find a Christmas tree) made me a bit teary eyed too...and made me miss her!

Oddly enough, Freddy does not seem to miss Hildy at all! LOL!

And little does Freddy know that I will be babysitting Digger for a week this month!

I am glad that Hildy found a good home....you are a nice man Mike Barnum!

At least you still have your Freddy to cuddle up with on these snowy days and nights!

Went for a lively lunch with friends (nope, didn't have fish; I had fried chicken). It is still raining and the temperature is falling.

Andrew is playing a dangerous game with Bree and retaliation because Bree knows that Andrew killed Carlos' mother and fled the scene of the accident (this happened last season).

Hate fish, always have, always will.  Even when I ate meat, I hated fish, probably because I, as the youngest, was always the designated fish cleaner when we went fishing as a family.  The only part I liked was throwing the "floater" back into the water.  Ugh.   :-X

Here's my funny SF story:  circa 1967, my father, the Army General, had to go to the Presidio to review some troops.  He took me along, the first time I had ever been there.  We were driven around town in a stretch limo (don't ask me why the Army had one, but they did), and my Dad asked the limo driver, who was probably a PFC, to go down Lombard Street.  In a stretch limo.  Of course, the PFC did, no questions asked, and he did a damned fine job of it, too.  So fine, in fact, that the bratty General's son (that would be moi ;)) asked him to do it again.  And again.  And again.  And again.  We spent a whole afternoon going down Lombard Street, driving around to the top and doing it again.   ;D

Had time to watch last night's LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT. It was a below average episode, I thought, with an uninteresting murder plot and a brainwashing subplot that just didn't hook me at all. Usually, I find this show compelling, but last night's episode was way below par.

Sorry I can't dub a DVD-R for you, BK. As per your instructions, I sent WHAT IF? on to another person on the request list, so I don't have it any more. Would have been glad to do it otherwise.

Right now, my DVD recorder is dubbing a copy of Agatha Christie's DEAD MAN'S FOLLY, the made-for-CBS version of the book starring Peter Ustinov. The TV Poirots that Ustinov made were never as good as his feature films with TV quality production values and casts of less that A-list movie stars.

Still, I want to have them all on DVD so the videotape copies taped off TV can bite the dust. I got both Helen Hayes/Miss Marple TV movies on DVD and now I must try to get Ustinov's 13 at DINNER and A MURDER IN THREE ACTS. Encore Mystery Channel shows these in rotation every few months.

MattH. What kind of DVD  recorder to you have?  How do you edit the commercials out... do you have to pysically start and stop the machine at the commercials or does the DVD recorder automatically read some kind of signal and do it for you?

Once you record on the DVD is it permanent or can you  record over it?

Matt, I found out that this TV does the 3:2 pulldown automatically.  Unfortunately it also has some (relatively minor) glitch where the sleep timer occasionally turns on by itself.  I'll see if I can live with it, if not, back to the store for the second time.

He then asked me to send him a copy of the Yiddish Sondheim thing.  This I would like to do - so, can someone who has one of the DVDs I sent out, please copy just that number onto a DVD-R, and send it to me?

I can ask my sister's boyfriend Larry to do it.  He's the one who copied the Alexis Smith song for you.  He can do it very easily...if he has the time.
