And the Memphis Airport is busy today too.  There are even lines to get into the restaurants right now.  

[JoseSPiano]

And, yes, because of the extra hour of waiting here, I went ahead and treated myself to some BBQ. YUM!

[S. Woody White]

...and the Weevils were out in force (who knew there were so many of them in Cardiff).

There have always been Weevils in Cardiff.  They just don't get much attention in Wales because they are lousy singers.

PAGE SIX INTERSTATE JIM NEELY'S INTERSTATE BBQ DANCE!!!!!

[S. Woody White]

I used to be THornwall, in the days of yore.

And I lived on Andover.

Quaint names.

[Ginny]

There are a group of ladies sitting next to me who are heading to NYC for some sort of gathering.  For some of them, it's their first trip to NYC, for others, their second or third.  They were discussing their dining and shopping options for the week.  Well, needless to say, I had to admit that I was sort of eavesdropping, and gave them a list of suggestions.  

I hope they realize how lucky they are!

[JoseSPiano]

DR Ron Pulliam - I did not mean to offend.  In fact, I thought you wore your title of "Snark Meister" as a badge of honor.

[Ginny]

Rob brought Richard's car back today and shoveled his car out of the snowbank created when the street was plowed last night:

[JoseSPiano]

I hope they realize how lucky they are!

I just wish I could get some sort of commission!

[Ginny]

And Richard cleaned out the bottom of the driveway.  As you can see, conditions have improved tremendously since yesterday:

[JoseSPiano]

Back to exchanges for a bit...

Were the names for the exchanges standardized? Or could they be customized according to the locale?

[JoseSPiano]

One ringy-dingy
Two ringy-dingy...

[JoseSPiano]

Thatsa lotta snow!

I used to enjoy the TV series GEWGAW.  For some reason when I was young, I thought Buck Owens was kind of sexy.

These days, Roy Clark would be classified as a "bear."

Just thought I'd throw that in.

Hmm... Frankly, I didn't think that performance was worth preserving on CD nor in my memory.  

Well, it's better than Bacall's playing to the top row of the balcony on the dvd of the teevee version. . . .

[George]

DR GEORGE has anyone greeted you yet by saying:  Hello, Dolly!

Nope...not yet, anyway.

[S. Woody White]

They need to invent a combination TV remote and one of those emergency "I have fallen and I can't get up" buttons, that we elederly folk could wear around our necks.  That would do away with about 50% of aged angst.

The other 50% of aged angst being when the emergency button/remote control is in the significant other's hands.

to bk and to DR George[/size][/color]

Thanks!  I'm certainly going to need 'em!!

[George]

Off to a VERY long rehearsal!  Have a good day, all.

DR JEANNE is this your uncle up on the boom photographing Gale?

No, Jack. I don't see Eddie anywhere in that photo.

Lovely photos, Ginny.

Cool and crisp here--jacket weather--but bright sun. A really gorgeous day.

[JoseSPiano]

Well... It looks like they're trying to get clearance to fly out earlier... Well... It looks like they didn't get it... In any case... I think I'm going to shut down and take care of some reading until flight time - whatever time that ends up being.  So, until I'm back in NYC...

Laters...

In Brooklyn mine was NEvins 8

But My favorite was BUtterfield 8

[Matt H.]

It did turn into one of those lovely early spring days (pre-Spring!). Maybe just a bit cool for sitting outside at lunchtime, but still beautiful to look out the window, see early spring flowers (my daffodills are in full bloom), and buds on some of the trees.

[Matt H.]

I do wish some enterprising company would release the Bacall/Hagman APPLAUSE on DVD. SOme of the show is gone, but I'd still like to have it.

[Matt H.]

I had a great afternoon of viewing starting with two episodes of MEDIUM, season 1. I pulled this off the shelf to watch while I cooked and ate lunch. I began with the very poignant episode of 1st grader Bridgett playing with a little boy at school only to learn that he's a ghost that only she and her mother can see. Such a beautiful episode.

[Matt H.]

And the second one I watched was my favorite of season 1, the one where defense attorney Watt has Allison on the stand trying to get her to admit she's psychic, and she turns the tables on him in a most satisfying way.

[Matt H.]

Next I watched Hiroshi Teshigahara's tone poem to architect Antonio Gaudi. Wow, was this thing a surprise. I was expecting a narrative film about the man, and it's just a mood piece about his work.

Beautiful photography and stunning images of his various artististic achievements, but very frustrating in a way since I don't know all that much about the man, I didn't know where these famous buildings and sculptures are or when they were done, and longed for a real documentary about their creation. More frustrating in that in the last ten minutes, we start to get just a tidbit of information about this magnificent church he took over the construction of before he died. I wish we could have gotten this kind of information about the other astounding pieces focused on during the film. Why just about this last famous creation? Who knows?
