As for books, I am currently enjoying the book CONVERSATIONS WITH THE DEVIL, DIALOGUES WITH THE SOUL...a fascinating look at religion by one of my interviewees, written under his pen name of JON CHRISTIAN EAGLE.

I think we finally have a cover design for Deceit - we're trying to play up Matt's involvement, and Doug finally found a way to do that and still have it look like a movie poster design.

Looking forward to seeing it, BK!

Hiya, hiya! Woods, glad the stitches came out okay, and you have a happy face to put on, should the mood strike you. I still feel so sorry about that poor dog - who can't be fixed with some antiseptic and stitches... ah, me.

I watched a DVD of MY BLUE HEAVEN last night - well, slept to it, anyway... I've seen it before and like it a lot, when I can stay awake. I'm a big Steve Martin fan, and will sleep to virtually ANYTHING he's in. Ask me why I never go to movies at night - $10 just down the drain. I can sleep at home for free!

It's cloudy and drizzley here - no surprise. The feral cat came in for a few moments. The birds screeched me awake at 6, as they have been fairly peanut-less for 9 days. No raccoons last night - I put out grapes for them, which are still in their bowl. I expect they'll find out I'm back within a few days. But they did let me sleep last night.

No gardening for me today. But I have wads of old papers to throw out, nine-year-old bank statements to burn, stuff like that. And a nice book I have salted away for a leisurely rainy day read! Oh, joy! What fun I shall have today.

Bruce - I'm really glad the reading went so well. And rather sorry to hear that the fifty-ish sidekick part was so well handled... it's a very good play, and there are lots of good actors in LA for ALL of the parts. But I agree - you should do the lead for the first production.

Just an aside: be extra generous with your grades for the musical theater class participants. Remember that it's an elective, with lotsa homework...

Yes, if you want to keep your CD out of Wal-Mart and appeal to the "No Taste is Good Taste" crowd.

der Brucer (old-fashioned Grandpa!)

Speaking of which:

Last night my third-grader Grandson informed us all that Classmate A "showed her hole" to Classmate B (another girl). Classmate A also convinced Classmate B to join her in lifting her top to show off her chest to those assembled. [And the boys din't even have beads to throw!]

Earlier, when I check with the School faculty about sex education, I was informed that it had been removed as "too controversial" Even "Good Touch/Bad Touch" had been abandoned.

Grandson's Day Care provider lets her 8 year-old wear a bra to school because "that's what she wants".

This is the same provider who introduced the Grandlads to the use of both the "S" and "F" words in film by showing them Adam Sandler's "Billy Madison".

Aargh!!!!! sex ed is "too controversial" and yet kids are curious and clearly have a need to explore and gather information about it. Wouldn't it make sense for them do so in a supportive and controlled atmosphere?? With people who are educated and can appropriately answer their questions?? Of course not, let's just stick our heads in the sand.

And scene.

Fun was had by all last night at Dusk Lounge. We did remember our camera and pictures were taken but I didn't have time to load them on the computer before leaving for work this morning. I promise to post some later tonight or early tomorrow.

And I think including the rough language sends a clear signal to parents before they pay $110 a ticket to be confronted with an extremely gritty, parental guidance suggested IMHO, show. The grit is part of what makes the theatrical experiecne of the show so special, and I'm glad the cast recording reflects that grit.

GOOD POINT! Imagine a G-Rated CD of "Avenue Q"!

Using Cast Albums to introduce kids to Musical Theatre is a challenge. The job is made easier when there are DVD versions of the shows (like "Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat") or movies which closely mirror the show ("Music Man", Li'l Abner, "The Lion King" -[musically])

Even without any visual references, the kids love "Frog and Toad" and "Charlie Brown".

Since we have the DVD of "Last Starfighter", maybe we introduce the grandlads to some "no yet on B'Way" musicals.

The present household debate is which version of "Peter Pan", Disney movie or B'Way show.

I don't believe that Rodzinski is able to post today because the computers at his office have all gone screwy. I believe that is the technical term for it.

This Grandpa gets particulary nervous considering he was sexually active at 9 (the age of the eldest Grandlad) and was a sexual predator by 14.

Case in point, kids need support around sex and body issues.

In many European nations, they begin some form of sexual education at age 5. These countries have significantly lower rates of unplanned teenage pregnancies and HIV infections among other things. I'm willing to guess that those kids also grow up with higher self esteem and body image, but that's just my opinion. I feel like our country's puritanical roots are still strongly felt in these kinds of policies.

A very quick good afternoon to all. I'm at lunch but work is a ghost town. Everyone who is here has a bad case of the "I don't wanna be here's", myself included.

Not much new to report but I do want to send out vibes to everyone who needs them!

DR MattH, I read about the NBC shake-ups this morning in my local paper. Let's just say i was not happy about them pulling MEDIUM till january.

What the heck is the point of submitting a schedule only to pull it a week later. I am really annoyed at them. I don't even think I watch anything else on that channel, and now i'm glad.

I wonder if the season finale ratings were not good?

Whenever you say you are doing this I imagine you sitting on the set of "Desk Set". Do you have Amarac there to help you out?
