Every time I look at the title of today's notes, I think it says "All is well in Northville."  That's the Detroit suburb to which my parents moved when I was in college and where my mom lived until she moved to Phoenix in 1986.

I still have a couple of bonus features to watch on THE ROCK Blu-ray disc, too. Perhaps I should have added that to my media list, but I'll add it here.

DR Julie, I'm sorry I missed your ascension. There were a bunch of people wanting to leave the garage who, for some reason, thought I should do something about it.

Everybody missed my ascension because it was in the middle of the night and I was the only person here.

There were some guys on the roof of the building across the street. They're gone now.

You didn't draw their picture?

Perhaps they're planning on a return engagement.

Sometimes I drop her off in the mornings if I am awake when she leaves. It is dark out when she leaves (and sometimes kinda cold).

A ladder on the roof.

Sounds crazy, no?

But in our little village of Phoenix, everyone has a ladder on their roof; trying to simply clean out their gutters without breaking their neck.

It isn't easy.

I am looking for some new authors of mysteries. As most of you know, I adore both Minette Walters and Laurie King--both authors whose stories have a somewhat psychological bent. Any suggestions? Thanks!

There was a bucket on the roof, too, but now it's gone.

I'm listening to The Drowsy Chaperone.

At one point, I believe DR Ginny had posted a link to an "If you like this author, you might also like..." type website, but I can't find it at the moment.

Dyan Cannon is the sister of Portland bassist Dave Friesen, who first made international news with his collaboration with John Stowell, "the enigmatic jazz guitarist who live(d) in our basement" for about 20 years.  :)  John's brother Matt, whom I've known for longer than I've known John (probably close to 30 years now--oy!), once met Dyan and told me "She has the scariest old-looking hands I've ever seen."  So now you know.  :)

I have it on good authority that Dave Friesen has a horrible temper.  But don't tell anyone (especially him).  ;)

Media:  we have been watching DragonHEART on HD DVD--it's not a spectacular looking film, unfortunately.  The color is pretty washed out for the most part.  I will say the dragon looks fantastic, and despite RLP's evident dislike for it, my kids have been loving it.  So props to you, DR Pogue.

I'm listening to a CD of one of the guys from AfroCelt Music System, who needs an emergency shipment of vowels into his name (an Onion reference).

...It will be just be "The Music and The Mirror" and me and the choreographer and a couple of potential Cassies.  I'm really looking forward to it!  I loves me some Cassie Dance.  ;)
