I had to correct our friend who referred to Sherlock as a Burmese Mountain Dog.  She sent this (altered) photo & asked if we are sure he isn't from Burma.



The nose of the other dogs belongs to Brewster the little Labradoodle.  Back then he did leaps over Sherlock.

My schedule has been revised.  The store manager, Mike, has determined that it is not a good idea for me to go two weeks in a row without a day off, so he's insisted that I take Tuesday off.


Thanks goodness you are getting one day off to rest!

Truth to tell, I wouldn't mind having Tuesday as a regular day off.  Starting June 3rd, the Rehoboth Beach Farmer's Market will be running every Tuesday - it's always a good excuse for getting der B out of the house and makes for a totally different kind of vegetating.

I keep forgetting to go to our Tuesday Grower's market.  I tend to do that. ;D

I'm pretty sure that in the future I'll be loaning her such films as:
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Casablanca
Auntie Mame
The Music Man
To Kill a Mockingbird
I just don't have a clue as to any order, or what I'll be following these selections with.

The good news is that Kerri seems to be interested.  This could be fun!

I suggest beginning with Casablanca or To Kill A Mockingbird.  I have found they are usually well appreciated by younger viewers.

Something I have always wondered about Extreme Home Improvement...

How do they get around having inspections, etc if the homes are built within a week? From the tales I have heard from freinds, inspectors don't move that fast.

Boy, they weren't kidding when they said it was going to warm up. It is 107F. Didn't I just have the windows open a couple days ago because it was so nice out?

It is cold here today.. Send some warm weather. The trees have barely started even hint at leafing hint. WE are about a month behind in that department.

I'm also a fan of the THIN MAN films.  Another favorite is THE MAD MISS MANTON with Barbara Stanwyck & Henry Fonda.

Been watching a motion picture on DVD.  Had In and Out for lunch.  And just found out that the American Cinematheque at the Egyptian is showing a brand new 70mm print of Khartoum, which was shot in Ultra Panavision 70 (like Ben-Hur and Mutiny On The Bounty.  Even though their screen isn't really big enough, it's too tempting not to go, especially since I've never seen Khartoum.

It was our experience that it can take a week to get an inspector out to look at one thing.

It is a wonderful movie TCB! And one of DR Elmore's favorites as well...it stars Edna Mae Oliver and James Gleasonl...Mae Clarke and Robert Armstrong are also in it.
