I have now booked my flight and hotel. Will stay at the Hollywood Orchid on, of all places, Orchid St which is one block north of Hollywood Blvd, directly in back of Graumann's Chinese.

Arrive Dec. 7th and leave Dec. 11th. A long stay but I plan to do much touristy stuff as I want to make the most out of my trip.

We took a day trip outside Budapest to what is called the Danube Curve. On the other side is Austria.

Good Afternoon....I just woke from a very long nap...it's a cool and rainy day, so it was wonderful.

I am really hungry now so I'm going to make my way to the store.

We took a trip on the Danube back to Budapest. A most enjoyable relaxing journing.
From the river here is the governent house. On the other side is where all the protesters were.
The media over blew the situation. They were people just having a good time.

This is the largest church in Hungary. It was where we stopped for the Danube Bend. What I found interesting is that many of the buildings in Hungary, Czech Republic and Germany had Greco-Roman influences.

The dome of the church by the Danube.

One more before I have to go.

I believe is called Heroes Square, but I have to check my notes.

I don't know from Choral pieces...I like them, but could not identify any one as a favorite.

Speaking of classic choral pieces... great avatar Mr. Barnum!

Turned out to be a beautiful day. From my lunch companions I learned it's going to be WINTER by Saturday, but right now it's more like late summer. Quite beautiful.

No, I haven't finished my Christmas shopping!

The Messiah - whew!

My favorite to listen to on CD - maybe I will hear some of it someday...is Orff's CARMINA BURANA.

I love "Carmina Burana." When I was at Western Washington University, we performed this with all the choirs and orchestras of WWU, the local Bellingham orchestra and the Whatcom Choral Society. It was quite the event! Heidi Grant Murphy (then, just Heidi Lynn Grant) was the soprano and she was (and still is) fantastic!

And now, I must go to rehearsal. I only got to read the first page of posts, so when I get back home, I need to start on Page 2.

This was just a note to myself.

And welcome back, Michael Shayne.

I can't wait to actually check out all your pictures.

Back from the reading, about which more later. Now I must sup.

Finally, here's a pic of DH Richard and me that reminds me of Harold Hill and Marian (the Librarian) Paroo drinking phosphates at the Candy Kitchen:

Well it has been many years since I have seen THE MIRACLE WORKER, but it was placed on many lists this month here at HHW....so I thought I would watch it again.

I think NOW I would reduce my rating to 3 1/2 Stars because of the really hammy performance of Mr Victor Jory and the misguided one of Miss Inga Swenson (channeling Kathryn Kuhlman - almost).....I cannot fault Bancroft and Duke...and in fact find them as stunning as I ever did....but Jory...whew!

I watched the second episode of DEXTER to begin my evening. It's such an unusual show with an off-kilter kind of character and strangely appealing. I'm really liking the show.

Dexter tonight was dealing with a serial DUI offender, but there is a killer in Miami who's playing a cat and mouse game with him. Very intriguing..

Matt H. · « **Reply #177 on:** October 09, 2006, 08:10:13 PM »

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER had a neat surprise at the end of a show that was a bit tamer on the comedy than other episodes this season. Still, I enjoyed it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #178 on:** October 09, 2006, 08:13:24 PM »

THE CLASS continued with the misadventures of these various former friends. I like that the show doesn't try to force connect all the characters to each other each week. Each little group has its own separate storylines, so if one bores you (the Andrea Anders plot continues to drag), there are others which will be with the viewer momentarily. Some of the plots seem to be closed at the end of the show while others are going to be continuing.

I like the show, but I can understand why it hasn't gotten a big following yet. I'll be curious to see if this timeslot change will have any effect on its ratings.

Matt H. · « **Reply #179 on:** October 09, 2006, 08:14:26 PM »

HEROES had an excellent episode with many surprises and delights. There's still things going on that haven't been explained to us, but it's certainly held my attention well enough to keep me watching intently.
