Oh the doctor's office just called and can see me at 2:15. I guess I had better go tell The Powers That Be I'll be leaving a bit early.

And looks like by the time they get to the third Bette Davis set, they will have run out of previously released gems and they will all be first-time-on-DVD items.

DR Jane, the first in your photographic series of copulating fauna was quite intriguing. Does NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC know you're at liberty?

DRelmore, you are groggy & missed the fact they were battling for the right to copulate. Read on..

elmore & DRLaura- at first we thought the snakes might be mating. However, if they were mating it would have taken longer than the 5 minutes they spent together, and their position would have been more circular. Also there would have been some spasms of joy.

DRelmore I’m sorry your news today isn’t better, vibes for your poor sister-in-law as well as your entire family.

SwishySara!!! So nice to see you, as always you are a burst of youthful enthusiasm & energy to brighten the day.

Penny, I love reading your posts of your beautiful home & the wildlife. I of course can imagine it all.

I love book jackets and, as a book collector, know the jacket usually increases the value of the book by about four times. I've often bought a book purely for the jacket.

Some favs:

Lots of my Sabatini jackets have great swashbuckling covers.

The Sax Rohmers lots of mysterious East atmosphere.

All the old Edgar Rice Burroughs jackets from J. Allen St. John up to Frazetta.

N.C. Wyeth did both some Sabatini and Burroughs jackets.

I have lots of fine action covers by fine action illustrators by fine action writers like P.C. Wren, Talbot Mundy, and Robert E. Howard.

I also own some pulp magazines with terrific covers, some by the wonderful Margaret Brundage, who illustrated for Weird Tales.

Ginny-My friend’s good news makes this an extra special day.

Thanks Dakota, Matt H, MBarnum, TCB, George, & JRand.

Penny-Absolutely a real heavy load off! Now I can truly enjoy our special day. This is the friend I visited in DC when we were in Bethesda together.

Mbarnum-may your mother be very happy in her new home.

JRand I hope you miss a great opening night.

Post away DR Penny!!

Jose- what/where is that mini burger place in the west village that we hit last year on the eating and walking and eating tour?

TOD: Growing up I loved the covers (and contents) of John Bellairs's books with artwork by Edward Gorey. Now they're only published in paperback with different covers, but I've been collecting them on Ebay. Here's one if anyone is interested. I'm going to scan some when I get home tonight.

Oh, I remember that place! In January, I took my DH Richard past it and told him all about our stop there (we'd have eaten there ourselves, but were on our way to Cowgirl). Do you think I can remember the name and location? Of course not!

I'm up, I'm up - great night's sleep and I'm just getting my bearings. One must have one's bearings.

I got the Bette Davis set last night, using credit. Here's the Amoeba joke. Mostly everything in the store is list price unless they get a promo. So, they've got the single two-disc version of Baby Jane for $24.95, list price. Then they have about thirty copies of the box set, all promos (the only way to tell is that the bar code has a black line drawn through it) and those are 34.95. So, even though I didn't want the box set I got it, and will get rid of what I don't want. I'll watch Baby Jane first so I can report on it.

My brother and his family came into town yesterday, and niece (16) and nephew (18) are hanging out with us tonight. Yesterday, we had a conversation about what they might want to do, which consisted of quite a few whatevers, and I don't knows. But we did establish that they liked to eat. So I thought instead of going to a restaurant and spending the rest of the night wandering around, we could incorporate the wandering into the eating and make it last all night.

Yes, I could neither send nor receive e-mail via AOL - they really ought to just give up the ghost. gmail is the ticket.

I got "too many connections" and fired off an e-mail to our host. I mean, problem fixed is problem fixed in my book, unless they're having other issues today. I still think I'm going to have them nuke the first year's posts and have them archived somewhere.

It's always delightful to see TCB arise from his mists of recovery to post. Last night, he was in rare form. Very subtle in some ways....LOVED the "Why, was he hungry?" response to one post.

But the one that had me rolling, in stitches, was:To which I submit, the Sisters of Lordy-Have-Mercy certainly have their hands full with you, TCB!

Thanks, Ron. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I've been having intermittent internet problems for the past two days, here in the office and at home.

Is it because she's a lesbian? Evidently, the answer is "yes"!
