I must take a minute to sincerely thank all of the wonderful HHWs who took the time to send me private messages, e-mails, and made telephone calls during my time of distress last week. Clearly, this is a family of friends who are warm, loving, and embracing of those who are troubled. I knew that before, but when it happens to one personally, it becomes ever so much clearer, and I did want everyone to know how touched and appreciative I was (and am).

I also want to deeply apologize for not being able to address every single one of the e-mails I received. It became a little emotionally overwhelming for me after a time, and I had to back away and collect myself. I know that's a lame excuse, but there it is for what it's worth.

I missed the daily camaraderie so very much and am happy to be back among so many lovely, loyal friends.

Again, thank you.

DR Arnold,

I finally got around to MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS yesterday afternoon! After I finished my chores watching the second season box set of CRIMINAL MINDS, I found I had almost three hours left in the afternoon, so I quickly put it into the player.

I've always loved the film and itsperformances. I thought the DVD looked lovely. Very clear transfer. Not the sharpest I've ever seen, but certainly the best we're likely ever to get of the movie.

I noticed bk's friend Nick Redman is on the isolated score track, but I didn't have time to check that out.

And how about that TORCHWOOD episode from Saturday night? Wonderful, and gave us insight into an entirely different side of the "butler" character.

Also really enjoyed the season premiere of BROTHERS & SISTERS. The Walker family is so eclectically wonderful. Just love the mixture of laughter and tears that comes with most episodes.

I was thrilled to have DEXTER come back to Showtime last night, but I had to DVR it, and hopefully I'll get to it today. Looking forward to seeing it. The second season premiere got great reviews.

I also recorded last night's COLD CASE, another show I'll have to get to later.

First thing up for me this afternoon, however, will be Criterion's new release of Gus Van Sant's first feature film - MALA NOCHE. I've never seen it before, so that should be something unique.

Sounds like THE BRAIN's NYC run was overall very successful and enjoyed by a great many. So glad things turned out as well as they did after the rocky starts with casting, etc.

Good morning!

It continues cool in the mornings here (51 this morning) and highs supposed to be only the low 80s, so very tolerable and quite nice. The five day forecast promises more of the same.

Sad to say, no rain at all in 18 days, and we're in such severe drought conditions now that all watering has been banned.

 HUZZAH!! WELCOME BACK MATT H

I'll be sticking with NBC for tonight's prime time shows: CHUCK, HEROES, JOURNEYMAN. The first two I enjoyed just about as much as anything I watched last week. As for JOURNEYMAN, I think it has potential. It seems to be trying to find its style and tone, and I'll look closely to see where the writers take it for these next few weeks.

We're at our gate. Samantha thinks I'm crazy for wanting to get here early, but I ALWAYS get to the airport early so I'm glad she humored me and got up and into the cab.

Hey, DR MattH! When I first got cable in Manhattan, there was a station that played MALA NOCHE every year during June.  The film was so peculiar that I never knew if it had been edited for the broadcast or was deliberately a stream-of-consciousness effect.  My memory as well is that it was a very dark print.  I'll be curious about your thoughts.

I will hie myself to the NYPL this afternoon, stop by Chelsea Music to thank them for their excellent Plaza work and hit the 4:30 Plaza rehearsal.

I didn't get to say goodbye to Elmore; I was hoping he'd come to John's.

Wonder if the rehearsal is open to the public? Hmmmmm...

Thanks for all the travel vibes. We should be heading out around 5:30.

It was great to finally meet Ginny. Her DH Richard was a delight and I think they are finally able to decompress after all their family has been through the last few weeks. Ginny was sitting behind me when her DH was "tapped" and she laughed so much that it was making me laugh even more. Richard was awesome---the perfect victim!

Peter Miller, my filmmaking partner, brought his whole family, and since they were sitting in front of me I could see how much they were enjoying it. His 10 and 12 year old girls were laughing their heads off. I don't know what they thought about the gold lame bathing suit boys but I certainly enjoyed them, especally the one on the left. Hubba!!!

Peter also enjoyed meeting some of our gang and being able to thank them for supporting our films. He is amazed at how such a close community can form over such a seemingly impersonal venue as the internet. You could just feel the love in the room!

The cover art looks very dark, too, but Criterion may have worked some magic on the print they've used for the transfer. And from the notes enclosed, Vaan Sant worked with them on bringing this to DVD, so whatever it is, it has his sanction.

I'll report back later this afternoon.

We have an all out watering ban, too, so at least the grass hasn't been growing while we've been away. My poor hydrangeas, though...
