Welcome home, DR Jason!  I was glad to hear that you were having such a pleasant visit with your family.

Just like the other cool mornings this week, the clouds moved off, and the sun came out. I don't think it's as hot as other days (high in the mid-80s), but it's hot enough for me to hate.

While waiting on the mail to come this afternoon, I decided to watch the remaining episode of ATOM MAN VS. SUPERMAN. In the end, Superman saved the universe! (That's actually the title of the last installment.)

Really enjoyed Lyle Talbot as Lex Luthor. He's a no nonsense Luthor which makes me like him so much more than Gene Hackman or Kevin Spacey.

On the last disc were the set's two special features. One was called "Superman on Saturday" about the origins of the production with a host of talking heads. At least Noel Neill was one of them.

Well, I'm off to the second floor auditorium to teach the July edition of Grantseeking Basics.  The AV may or may not function.  Pray for Rosemary's baby.

The other feature was a preview of that documentary on SUPERMAN "Look Up in the Sky" or something like that. It was only five minutes or so in length and was much more interested in publicizing the (then) upcoming SUPERMAN RETURNS than giving any information about the earlier renditions of Superman. In fact, in this little preview, Kirk Alyn wasn't even shown or mentioned. Reeves, Reeve, Cain, and Routh are all given some mention.

Next I watched another MOONLIGHTING episode. In this one, Maddie's mother has a feeling her husband is cheating on her, so David volunteers to do some undercover work to learn the truth.

Robert Webber and Eva Marie Saint played Maddie's parents.

Then, I replayed the episode and listened to the commentary of head writer/producer Glenn Gordon Caron and star Cybill Shepherd. At one point she breaks down into tears while talking because she said the episode hit very close to home in her own life when she learned her father was a serial womanizer.

At another point, Cybill mentions that she found it unfair that Eva Marie wasn't nominated for a guest star Emmy for her performance. Caron reminds her that they didn't have guest star Emmy categories back then. Except, he's wrong. In fact, Whoopi Goldberg, who guest starred in one of the second season's episodes, WAS nominated for a guest star Emmy. The only difference then was that they combined guest actors and actresses into one category for drama and one category for comedy. They didn't have separate categories for the two genders.

DR Ron, you have such interesting co-workers. ::)



Uh-huh.

One of them is just now UN-inviting the five County supervisors to a meeting tomorrow that she had every right to expect would attend because the Agency director included them as cc's on a memo he sent out on July 10.

Apparently, he heard from one of them that a representative from one of the supervisorial offices would be at the meeting (that, or the County Administrator got wind of it).  It seems it is a violation of "the Brown Act' (whatever that is) for supervisors to attend fact-finding meetings on projects the board members have already approved (!!???!!!???!!!???)

At any rate, he's taking it out on the project manager, a lady named Debbie, even though HE was the one who added the names to the memo that HE signed.

Additionally, it was HE who designated the memo to be sent to All County Department Heads but, in reality, only intended it to go to about half of them.  Of course, WE were supposed to know that despite the fact that the distribution for "ALL COUNTY DEPARTMENT HEADS" is a set address group.

Again, HE's mad at the Debbie in my office and his secretary, Debbie, as well, since she gave us the address list.

HE's the wounded party and HE's mad and HE's made folks feel bad about themselves and HE's making the Debbie in my office call and uninvite everyone he doesn't want at the meeting.

I'm glad I'm not named Debbie.

But I wouldn't at all be surprised if vixmom's doesn't get a scowl or two during the day.

DVDS -- lots of packages "in transit" right now...a Woody Woodpecker box, a Stargate: SG-1 Season 10 box, A Classic Musicals Part II box, The Monster Squad 2-DVD Special Edition, a 6-pack box of Breathe-Right nasal strips, plus another aluminum storage case for CDs and DVDs.

That's not everything, but it's all I'm gonna list right now.

I'm hearing Debbie converse telephonically with various sundried supervisorial type peoples UNinviting them to the meeting we pestered them to RSVP us.

;D

MissKaren, the place I'm staying for the casting trip is through a friend of Joan Ryan's.  I'm still not sure where I'm staying for the long trip, although this place is available - it's just too much money for a long trip.

There are quite a few okay sounding places that have monthly rentals on Craig's List and I've contacted a few of them.

I'll repeat, if you were a Brain shareholder and you didn't get an e-mail about doing the payment, let me know and I'll resend.  We still have about seven people MIA.  If everyone comes through, then we can close out the shares, as we'll be completely funded for the NYMF fee.

Off to read a little bit and then on to a Blu-ray disc.

I cleaned the living room this morning, so nothing to do in that regard.

My tracking on this one says the carrier was notified for pickup.  It's dated yesterday at 5:35 p.m.

I guess it must still be sitting...wherever.

OTOH, the "Stargate SG1" box was shipped yesterday afternoon...and is out for delivery today.

It seems when they have stuff in Sparks, Nevada, warehouse, I can get it really fast.

Otherwise, stuff comes in from the east coast....in its own good time.

Back from Potter.  Finished the book and saw the movie yesterday.

Catching up.

Didn't buy the book until the Monday - less crowds.

Yellow tailed Black cockatoo a few minutes ago. Always difficult to photograph. They are larger than the white cockatoos.
