This week, I got the second season of THE WILD WILD WEST and the first season of MAUDE, both of which I'm very excited about revisiting.

The second season was the first in color for James West, and to see Robert COnrad at his hunkiest in color should be great eye candy. But it's likely I won't get to those until tomorrow. We'll see.

And the word of the day is: LUCULENT!
A little-known bit of trivia -

Richie Cunningham's friend, Warren Webber, later in life became known as the author of the children's book Mommy, I Went Potsie!, a LUCULENT explanation of toilet training for toddlers.

When do we get to the naked stories?

Wait a minute...

Oh, sorry, I misread that.
Do a search for the Randy Vicar series, very popular in these parts.  Such as The Randy Vicar and the Luculent Lookie-Loo.

And, sadly(?), I will not be able to watch "Grease:YTOTIW" live tonight due to a previously scheduled engagement - Thank You DR FJL!  However, I look forward to watching it later on the DVR.  I know how they're padding the hour...  I know how they're padding the hour...  I know how they're padding the hour...  I know how they're padding the hour...  I know how they're padding the hour...  I know how they're padding the hour....  -But I think the news was leaked on one of the theatre boards anyway.  We - well, rather YOU shall see.

Yes, I knew GREASE would be padded tonight. I mean, the voting's done, so much like AMERICAN IDOL's finale show, there's about 10 seconds of information, and (in tonight's case) an hour of time to fill.

Good Morning! once again...

-From the beautiful and "spare" Chelsea Studios on W. 26th Street that were "featured" in that NY Times article that DR singdaw hot-linked earlier.

-And 8th Ave was pretty spare this morning too.  It always amazes that are certain times of the day, it can almost seem like New York City is actually "sleeping".

...And since I had time to read courtesy of the downtown A Train...

Both those articles that DR singdaw cited earlier were quite good reads.  The Avenue Q one should be read by anyone and everyone who's been following "Grease:YTOTIW", and the final sentence of the virtual orchestra one... <cue the dramatic music>

Also, Studs Terkel is in SACCO AND VANZETTI.

You New Yorkers may seeing an ad in the VOICE this week. Enjoy it, because it's over $5,000 out of our (non-existant) profits to run it.

At that price, maybe we should frame it!

Why not frame it?

It's a beautiful day so far, very windy but very nice.  Think I'll go outside and pull dead weeds while the ground is soft so the tulips, daffodils and crocus will have room to bloom!

The dinner party was wonderful. 5 couples dining in the midst of a boxwood parterre planted in the 1800's. We dined under the arbor, which was covered in muscadine grape vines. Our hostess hasn't found any good use for the grapes yet.

What an interesting coincidence!  The book I'm reading, The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook, has several recipes involving muscadine grapes.  There's Grape Hull Pie (pages 454-455), Scuppernong Preserves (132-134), Scuppernong Sake (55), and muscadine wine is included in their recipe for Johns Island Iced Tea (43-44).

Oh, and there's also Scuppernong Grape and Hot-Pepper Roasted Duck, (323-324).  Although that recipe says "1/3 cup Scuppernong Preserves or other top-quality grape preserves," which I assume doesn't mean Welch's.

And with that, it's time once again to get ready for work.

The house is filled with dog-flop.  Buster and Fletcher are on opposite ends of one couch, Bonnie on the other couch, Mikey and Marty on der Brucer's bed (Marty with his head over der B's knee), all blissfully drowsing.
