Everyone has been telling me that the cats probably don't fight when I'm not around. Well, I figured they did and when I came home tonight I had proof in the form of a big scratch across Callie's nose. It broke the skin. Of course this led immediately to a pedicure for Boo - which she fought me all the way.

They are pretty quiet tonight. I imagine it was quite a fight. Glad I wasn't here to hear it.

I was born in Gary, Indiana...

Gary, Indiana!
What a wonderful name,
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
Trips along softly on the tongue this way--
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That's the town that "knew me when."
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home.

So far just rain.

No wind.

No thunder and lightning.

Electricity is on.

Keeping my fingers cross that this will be it.

My evening has consisted of a fun breakfast dinner prepared by DH Richard - sausage, scrambled eggs, pancakes - and telephonic conversations with all three local members of the elder generation - my mother-in-law, my aunt, and my mother.

Sorry to have missed DR Danise when she was here, but I'm glad to see that Ernesto isn't being too bothersome to her and to DR Michael S.

I think I typed too soon.

The thunder and lightining have arrived.

Being born in Gary, I've certainly heard many renditions of that tune. And with Antonia being from San Jose, we get serenaded alot!

RonP-
Thank you for those amazing facts. I was literally in the midst of typing a sentence that I did not know who you were talking about and then his face shot into my mind out of nowhere. The fact is, I might never have remembered him if not for you reminding me tonight, but I always enjoyed that show. He was a guy who was not like someone who just wanted to rub elbows with the stars; he really knew his stuff. That's why it always seemed he was given ample time with stars at these junkets where it is normally like, five questions and you're done.

His show must have been syndicated through more of the south, because my freshman year of school, I went to the U. of Mississippi, and I remember seeing his interviews on the PBS station there, and I enjoyed them as they seemed like a slice of home to me.

On some records I have that were my mom's, there are price stickers from a store in Hammond, Ind. called Millikan's, and their slogan is "Pick and Play Before You Pay!"

Trying to frenzy us forward. TPunk is flying to San Jose early in the morning for a week's respite before starting her new job.

Yes, Jim Whaley's show was called CINEMA SHOWCASE (used Alfred Newman's AIRPORT theme as the theme song of the show). The South Carolina ETV network (their PBS chain of stations) carried it on Saturday afternoons, and I watched it weekly. I even used to audio record the show to play back when there was an interesting guest on or when he did his Oscar show with critics from the area giving their guesses for the top awards.

I wish I could have known him personally.

I had a barrage of phone calls tonight which prevented me from seeing DEADWOOD in the hour I had scheduled to watch it. I barely had time to finish the WILD WILD WEST episode that I had started prior to watching DEADWOOD.

This WILD WILD WEST episode guest starred Nick Adams as a visiting prince and Dana Wynter as his wicked accomplice. This is one of the few shows in the series where star Robert Conrad didn't have a lengthy kissing scene with the female guest star.

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT repeated one of its more frustrating episodes from this past season guest starring Whoopi Goldberg as a foster mother who has her charges do her bidding.

RESCUE ME ended its season with culminations of the various guys' stories which had been running along all season, but naturally there had to be a cliffhanger, and this one involved a fire, ironic for a show about firemen.

I did finally finish the Tab Hunter autobiography, and I started CENTER SQUARE, the biography of Paul Lynde.

Hey Ben, I guess late August is the best time to arrive in New York.

I actually never didn't know my arrival date exactly, and then the other night I remembered that I went to see a Mets-Giants game the weekend I arrived. Through the magic of the internet, I was able to pinpoint what day that game was and voila, Aug. 30 was when I arrived.

FJL · « **Reply #137 on:** August 29, 2006, 08:42:03 PM »

A slightly busy work day today. That's all I have to say.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #138 on:** August 29, 2006, 08:54:40 PM »

I don't have anything to say.

Off to bed now.

Good night!

I am watching a 1957 western called LAST OF THE BADMEN starring George Montgomery, James Best, and Keith Larson.

I have to say, that James Best is one heck of an actor...I have been seeing him in a lot of different roles on TV and film and he can sure play some crazy parts!

TPunk · « **Reply #142 on:** August 29, 2006, 09:41:15 PM »

I have to get up in 3 hours and 15 minutes to leave for my flight. I went to bed at about 9:30 thinking I could squeeze in 6 hours of sleep. But I just wasn't sleepy. And then I started to get anxious that I wasn't sleepy. And then I was just wide awake.

So I decided to catch up on today's posts since it is going to be a while until I have regular access to a computer. And then I think I am going to take a quick shower and then off to bed.

For me Mr James Best will always be the brains in the movie THE KILLER SHREWS.

Happy NYC anniversaries to DRs RODZINSKI and BEN.

Exciting! August is a great month for anniversaries & birthdays, no doubt.

Really enjoying reading ALL about the record shops and records.

KARMA is the name of the shop still here in town. But we also had a PEACHES with the wooden boxes.

I just watched CACTUS FLOWER - and one of its settings is Stereo Heaven "in the village" a record store where Goldie/Toni works. Lots of Capital albums....and all the underscoring in The Slipped Disk were instrumentals of Boyce/Hart tunes.....

Very funny movie.....
