No cries of "masterpiece" but not the bad reviews you'd expect.

NIce weather here this weekend and I went hiking... Legs are sore tonight but it was worth it. Being outside at times really clears the mind!

That was a little late for the page turn, but it's the thought that counts.

I can't say about that. But I think you should hire the one Plaid we never met to be Fred. Guy Stoman. He lives in NYC, I think.

DR Edisauras - I didn't mention "Midnight Cowboy".  I love "Everybody's Talkin' " but think "I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City" should have been used..

Ooops, sorry. And I totally agree, Harry's own song would have been a better choice.

I had one of those healthy non-dessert bars a little while ago. A Symphony bar with almonds and toffee chips.

I do like the Ferrante & Teicher version of the theme from "Midnight Cowboy".

I really am getting off, just waiting for Sherlock to finish drinking his water so I can rinse & refill the bowl.

Wow! Now that's service!

Pet Peeves:
People who talk on their cell phones---in the movie theatre or in a restaurant.

People who can't talk on their cell phones and drive at the same time.

Cars with extremely loud, thumping stereo systems and their idiot owners who will be deaf in a few years.

People who litter, especially cigarette butts. Last night someone crused by my house and threw a 22 oz beer bottle at my car, and it busted right behind my rear tires. Fortunately I heard it so I didn't just roll over it the next morning, but I still had to get up early to clean it up.

Telemarketers who call way too early and wake me up the one morning I have a chance to sleep in.

People who realize they're in the wrong lane and sit there blocking traffic until someone will let them in to the right lane, totally interrupting the flow of traffic because of their selfish stupidity. Likewise, the people who run the light and then sit in the middle of the intersection, blocking the people who have been patiently waiting for the light to change.

People who never call to hire you and then call when they need something edited/recorded for free. (MY DH and I both get this. We do enough free stuff for people we like! And of course, if you do the job, the person will not remember you when they get a paying job.)

Developers and politicians with a sense of "entitlement" who make decisions solely based on what will benefit them the most.

People who drag race down my street, despite the little kids and animals who play in the street.

That's Why I Love Mankind!

I played the soundtrack to The Reivers about as much as any other album of the day, but I doubt most people did.

THE GRADUATE was a good soundtrack that we played a lot. I also liked The Loving Spoonful's soundtrack to WHAT'S UP TIGER LILY.

We tried out a professional painter yesterday. We hoped he would be the answer to our seeming inability to move into our new house. Today we looked at his work, and it wasn
t as good as what we'd already done ourselves. How disappointing. He came with the highest recommendations from a very picky client of mine.

So we spent today painting.

I think i'm going to give him the ceilings and crown molding to do.

The dip in the road question---I think the idea is that you're less likely to bottom out your car if you take it at a slight angle. That's my theory, anyway...

DR Cilla--they sure seem to know how to have fun in your town!

What is the water tower tradition? Sounds dangerous! Do they paint designs on it?

Time to crash. I used to do construction work in my youth but now I realize that spending 60 hours a week clicking a mouse does not prepare you for physical labor.

Today was an adventure. I went out on the town with my cousin Esther who always comes up with something interesting to do. We were originally downtown to shop the Garment district ( she makes her own dance costumes ), but it was Sunday, so no one was to be found. We then went for manicures and I now have flowers on my fingers :)

My biggest pet peeve is when someone tells me information I already know...Like how to make instant soup, or how to do laundry, or how to do anything I have done 1billion times before. I get really annoyed.

My friend who works at AT & T tells me that once this round of iPhones sell out that they will be backordered for several months.

They are not available at all in North Dakota or parts of Minnesota.

For the Doctor Who fans - I like the cast of new series but I do hope the series does not become "earth bound" as are the "Runaway Bride" and the first two episodes. "Time travel" is just a cop out for period costume drama.

I also like the new cast. I like Martha much better with this doctor than Rose. I kept looking for Elmore's balcony in the story about Manhattan.

Next, I put in  THE FACE OF ANOTHER. Interesting ideas both viusually and intellectually but the first hour is too talky and the second hour jumps back and found between counterpoint stories, one of which (with a scarred girl) isn't developed nearly as much as it needed to be.

Overall, a real disappointment. (And that seducing your own wife angle has been done in movies and TV from THE BARKLEYS OF BROADWAY to THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW.)
