Good morning, all!  Last night I had a peculiar dream about my mother who died in 1994, literally weeks before recording Sally Mayes' Comden & Green album; I remember scoring in the hospital cafeteria the numbers I did for "Christmas on Broadway" and Fed Exing them to BK; I scored Sally's "Fireworks" after the funeral, and I think it's my favorite chart on the album.  

But I digress: all I recall now of the dream is that my cousin Sue Ellen and I were raking a beach to make it easier for my mother to walk and, while Sue and I appeared to be in our late teens, my mother in her bathing suit looked as she did around 1954 or so: she was around 32 then, slim, very pretty, and not at all crazy, as she later became.

DR singdaw, I thought MONK jumped the shark at least a year ago when I thought Monk's character lost all connection with the realities of the character; this season there have been a couple of episodes I did enjoy, but I feel the charm and quirkiness of the concept have been lost for me.  DR Matt H is much more patient than I with Mr Shalhoub's lack of concern in maintaining the character's reality, and that's horseracing.

This morning, a loooooong meeting in Toyland about various and sundry, then a stop at "The Brain" to drop off what are hopefully the final adjustments so I can begin the new band parts. After that, Milla's appearance at B&N.

I don't know if it was mentioned here, but the news of the death of Miyoshi Umeki on August 28 or 29th has just been reported.

MIYOSHI UMEKI Died Aug. 29, 2007

Oscar-winning actress Miyoshi Umeki died at age 78. Ms. Umeki was the first Asian actress to win an Oscar. She won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work in the 1957 film "Sayonara." She played a Japanese woman who falls in love with an American soldier. Red Buttons played her lover and won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work. Miyoshi Umeki was a popular singer in Japan before she came to the US. She was nominated for a Tony Award for the play "Flower Drum Song." She reprised her role in the 1961 film version. Ms. Umeki received her second Golden Globe nomination for that film. TV audiences remember Ms. Umeki for her role as Mrs. Livingston in the series "The Courtship of Eddie's Father." She received her third and final Golden Globe nomination for her work on that show. Her other film credits include "The Horizontal Lieutenant," "Cry For Happy" and "A Girl Named Tamiko." In addition to her regular role on "The Courtship of Eddie's Father," Ms. Umeki made guest appearances on such TV series as "Burke's Law," "Mr. Ed," "The Donna Reed Show" and "Dr. Kildare." Ms. Umeki was the widow of TV director Randall Hood.

Sorry to hear about Miss Umeki, whom I adored in all her performances.  If I had my Flower Drum Song DVD here I'd watch it.

Sandra, I always find it best to get sleep no matter how few hours - I do very poorly if I stay up all night.

Ugh!  "All-nighters."  I pulled a few in college to finish papers, etc.  But I could barely carry it off then, and certainly not now that I'm older.  

Even in college, I remember staying up all night to finish something or other.  I had a voice lesson early the next morning.  The professor heard me sing two notes and sent me home to bed.  He claimed he could hear it in my voice immediately [I hadn't initially told him] and said it wasn't worth teaching me in that condition!?!

I was curious about the phrase "jump the shark," and in searching the Internet found this definition:

“Jump the shark” refers to the precise moment at which a TV program loses momentum or begins the process of losing the element that made the show popular.

If I'm not mistaken (and I seldom is), "jump the shark" originated with a HAPPY DAYS episode in which Fonzie jumped over a pool of sharks on a motorcycle.

Wednesday morning greetings!

DR JRand, thanks for the astrological explanation for the general malaise I'm feeling.  Might also have something to do with the pollution alert we're under here in SW Ohio  :P

Good morning!

Phones still working fine so I hope that little problem is behind me. Now, Time-Warner must come and fix the cable which I'm guessing the phone guy somehow disconnected yesterday when he was repairing the line. It's always something.

It didn't seem quite as cool to me this morning when I got up, but I turned on the attic fan anyway, and have cooled down the house this morning. (I was up an hour earlier than usual because I went to bed an hour earlier than usual. Typical)
