DR Tom thanks for sharing that story. It made me cry!

CP, I am glad to know you got to meet Vincent Sherman. I remember seeing him at one of the Ray Courts shows that I went to. I did not go up and talk to him, but my buddy Ron did.

I am staying home from work today cause I feel crappy. It is likely just allergies, so no vibes necessary...perhaps I can catch up on some movie watching....or actually catch up on transcribing some of the audio interviews that have stacked up over this last year!!!

Or you could drive up to Portland to see "Water"...

Hi, all!!

First - the OZDEREK memorial is so great - it should happen to me!! Thanks for sharing such a good story, Tom.

Donuts - well, when I was doing Man of La Mancha in Lake George a hundred years ago, I would wait for the little lunch wagon guy to motor by at about 2:30 every day - and buy his last plain "old-fashioned" donut, which - by 2:30 - was a hard greasy hockey puck sort of thing - but, egad! did I LOVE it! I was Not Eating, in those days - so except for my dry salads each night, those hockey pucks were IT for me. The absence of frosting or flavor made them seem okay to me...

AND there was a great muffin shop on the south side of 86th Street between 2nd and 3rd, when I lived on East 89th all those years ago... eventually, I had to cross the street to avoid passing this shop, which had the tastiest, most humongous raisin bran muffins I ever had. They were about the size of volleyballs, I swear - for about a buck apiece. Ah, but that was many years ago...

Yesterday afternoon I finished creating my presentation for my interview next Tuesday. I'm so happy with it. I don't know whether to rejoice or mourn - I feel so certain I'll be offered this gig... Huzzah! - which means farewell to this idyllic cabin-on-a-stream-in-a-forest...<sigh>...

But it is time to move on. I have miles to go before I sleep...

Off I go to feed these squawking birds! I'll leave tomorrow, after their peanut frenzy. Take my time going down south. Too bad the weather has only just cleared... but within 10 days, I'll be back for more.

TOD: we've had this topic before, but I will repeat this for all donutophiles (and you know who you are):

You must (as in must) try the chocolate cake donuts from the Upper Crust Bakeries (formerly Dunford's) found in all Dan's Grocery Stores in Salt Lake City. These are such incredibly chocolately wonders that we used to have my Mom FedEx two dozen at a time to us, which we then froze and ate over the coming weeks (well, OK, sometimes days

). When we were in SLC last summer, one of the first things we did was drop by a Dan's and get our "supply" of donuts. Mmmmm, mmmmm, good.

For the past few years, my mother has been desperately trying to grow sunflowers in her backyard but has had no luck in raising any. Ironic, because in South Jersey, sunflowers are almost considered a weed--often spotted in vacant lots and neglected fields. But in Mom's backyard, nothing doing.

LOL...she apparently has the same luck I have had with hollyhocks.

I can grow almost anything...but never intrust me with the planting of hollyhocks...they won't grow no matter where I plant them.

For those who've read the Kritzer saga you know that the best donuts ever were Helms, which were put on the Helms truck and then driven through every neighborhood near their bakery. For those who haven't read the Kritzer saga - WHAT IN TARNATION ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Heading downstairs now to start lunch preparation.

I've always been partial to Dunkin' Donuts over Krispy Kremes which are too sugary even for me. I also loved a little donut shop my mom would take us to sometimes on Friday mornings before school. I would get a chocolate milk and a giant apple fritter. Man could I put it away as an 8 year old!

Tomovoz, Thank you for sharing Maureen's letter with us. That is a lovely memorial and I am sure Derek is is quite pleased!

RLP, I too, am awaiting to hear what the partners talk has resulted in. I suspect nothing can change the course of events from now taking place however.

I have mixed feelings but my head is overruling my heart in this one.

Wow! I just sent you a private message about this....so....

I'd be on pins and needles in anticipation of just "what" my boss would say.

The one thing you need to keep reminding yourself of is that you have a "better" job offer. No matter that your heart tells you what you'd rather do...without assurances from your current boss, the new job is a blessing.

The week here in Oakland is going to get hotter and hotter. We had a nice night...cool breeze from the ocean...but things change today.

Winds are shifting and we'll be getting breezes (!) from inland (and off the deserts of the western U.S.).

It's already hazy and kind of smoggy out....really not the kind of day one wants to expose one's lungs to.

DR Ginny's bonus question:

This has been a bone of contention in our house. I was 2 years old. My dad claims he was home sick and was babysitting me while mom was somewhere else. Mom claims she was home with me and Dad was at work.

No matter the outcome....I was at home with one of my parents. I think they were probably both home since they both remember being home when it was announced.

DR JRand - No, I don't have a new cat. I haven't seen her since Sunday morning. It's been rainy so I think she's probably at her home and they haven't let her out due to the weather. So, I'm glad I didn't try to keep her, someone would have been quite sad.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #81 on:** June 20, 2006, 09:11:16 AM »

DR JRand - I am enjoying A Short History of a Small Place. With all the detail it's a slow read, but it's worth taking the time. This may be one I read again, just to absorb it all. I just finished the Junious section and was laughing and laughing. I have a friend who will adore this book. Her birthday is coming up so I'm going to get her a copy. Thanks for the recommendation

Regarding JFK: I was in my mom's womb...but my sister was on the couch watching a soap opera when the it was announced.

Elmore informed me via email that Julian Slade, the man who created the wonderful British musical SALAD DAYS, has passed on.

Was is As The World Turns? I think that's my mom's story, that she was watching ATWT when the announcement was made

Better go back to work. I need to do a jail visit and a hospital visit this afternoon.

Just came from the Audio-Visual Department - the manager looks so cute in her poodle skirt and white tennies. They were showing Fun in Acapulco and handing out Twizzlers and Tootsie Rolls.
