DR elmore - If you want to bring my birthday present with you...

-Again, I'm rehearsal until 5:00 at Ripley-Grier, so I guess we'll all just be playing phone tag for a while to find a place to gather and sup.

I did as well. After so many years of watching Bollywood films, do you still need the subtitles?

Actually, on a few occasions I have watched some vintage Bollywood movies that did not have subtitles, and I seemed to have no trouble figuring out what was going on..of course they were Tarzan pictures, so not too much to figure out.

JANE,
I promised I'd tell you about MISS KAREN'S BIG SURPRISE--so here it is.

Some of you may recall that I told Miss Karen some time back that I had a big surprise for her. I'd planned to tell her a certain piece of information when we met in person, whenever that happened. Then, about a month ago, Miss K, based on some of my posts, mentioned that she felt that she and I are soul sisters. I, too, had noticed that we share some views and couldn't deny the soul sisters bit. At that point I could no longer keep my information a secret; I HAD to tell her. And it is...I'm a Murphy. I was born Jean Murphy. Not only that, but my dad was from Texas, the home state of Miss K and her DH. I have relatives on my dad's side I've never met, don't even know their names. So Miss K and I did some checking of our respective family trees (well, DH's and mine). We haven't found any links, but, I tell you, I find it rather UNCANNY.

Just one more of our wonderful HHW connections. How interesting even if you don't find a missing link that connects you by relationship. Thank you for sharing the details

Did bk notice that we had this same title for the notes on July 31st? Then it was The Li'l Old Winemaker, so maybe his computer didn't pick up on that!

I'm trying to remember which wine had this slogan.

Stossel Bio

Quote

Ludwig Stossel enjoyed another wave of public adoration for his appearances in Italian Swiss Colony Wine commercials; he was the little old tyrolean-outfitted fellow who turned to the audience and identified himself (with Jim Backus' dubbed-in voice) as "That li'l old winemaker....me."

Saturday afternoon greetings from our home in~~Hell's Kitchen~~ Clinton! DH Richard, our luggage, and I arrived right on time after 2 beautiful flights. We've been to Eatery for lunch and are now back at our apartment, unpacking and settling in.

I spoke by phone to DR Vixmom from the taxi in from LGA - she, The Vixter, DR WFO, and his ever-lovin' Joe were right behind us on the highway and they're now all enjoying the Starfighter matinee. She's to call me when they're out and we'll take it from there.

Any other plans for the evening?

DERBRUCER · « **Reply #129 on:** September 29, 2007, 10:40:55 AM »

I have decide to humpr my aging bones and minimize the Sunday driving fatigue: we shall take the Lewes-Cape May Ferry at 7:AM on Sunday, arriving in NJ at 8:10, a mere 160 miles from NYC. That $44 ferry ride saves a big one hour drive over the alternative (up I95 and cross the Delaware Memorial Bride to the Jersey Turnpike) - also the Garden State Freeway trip up Jersey is much less likely to be traffic impacted than the alternative I95/NYP route. Too bad there's no place to get lunch in Manhattan

In post #3 today, DR Jose said "goodnight" exactly 48 minutes before my alarm went off this morning. Think I'll take a nap while Richard uses the computer for a while.

Danise. Sorry about your co-worker & glad the chiropractor is working. Wishing you an easier October.

Ginny, glad you arrived safely.

DerBrucer, if I'm driving, anything to reduce the distance sounds like a good idea to me.

Good morning, kidz!

I'm so thrilled about the swell reviews!! Kudos to all and sundried!

Fred, I do hope you'll let us know how the opening went... we've all "been there." If all the tech went to hell, well, it can only get better.

Fundraiser? I'm looking for something to do...

Jane · « **Reply #135 on:** September 29, 2007, 10:51:04 AM »

I waited in anticipation to read the details of all three shows yesterday. It is wonderful & exciting they all went so very well. CONGRATULATIONS! [/size] [/color]

All the NY stories have been a delight to read & I'm enjoying the photos. Thank you to all posting them.

Yup - and if the nice weather holds out the Ferry ride is lots of fun (and relaxing).

I just wish they ran later at night for return trips! (Last ride out of Cape May is 8PM, and starting in mid-October it's 6PM)

Penny, I too need to get moving. I have acorns to clear off Sherlock's deck before we take him hiking. As long as we can limite runs down the ravine we will take him hiking on the trail we took MBarnum & DD Bosco.

Jane · « **Reply #143 on:** September 29, 2007, 10:56:06 AM »

Fred didn't post, I can't remember who did-Larry? I have had so many interruptions while working through the post.

JMK, yes reviews have been posted. One by Bruce the others by Singdaw.

Are the squirrels afraid to come get them?

From Edi last night....

Not so! As far as I could tell, the show was near perfect, and it had a lot of technical elements to it and a very nice set with lotos of set chanes. The set design was very clever and worked well for the show.

The approach of adapting the film to a musical worked great. I don't want to say too much about it since I know others plan on coming to see it bur I admired how skillfully Fred & Skip tred the line with not being overly reverent to the film and not mocking it' either. The tone was perfect. And the music was so beautiful and the songs were so catchy, with such funny lyrics. These are songs you can sing coming out of the theatre, and some of us were.

The crowd loved the show and it was almost a full house. I liked everyone in the cast very much and they seemed to be having a great time in the show. Skip and Fred should be very proud of their achievement!

Jane · « **Reply #146 on:** September 29, 2007, 11:02:04 AM »

There is no way the squirrel's could possibly collect the thousands, AND THOUSANDS, of acorns we have. Afraid or not there is no need for them to enter the dog run for an acorn.
