I see no one in your family is a member of the clean plate brigade - my mother would have slapped all of you silly.

My grandmother used to say "Think of the starving children walking the streets of London"  of course in those days I didn't realize she was still talking about WWII.

While on my way to the mailbox I met up with a woman down the road I haven’t seen in at least a year.  We would still be chatting if her husband hadn’t come looking for her when the dogs returned home on their own. ;D Long before I had used my cell phone to inform Keith my arrival would be delayed.

John Michael looks like he's having a blast on his first visit to NYC - and Uncle JoJo looks like he's really enjoying being the tour guide!

If I were JM's mother, I'd probably cry when I saw the charcoal drawing.

Crying?  Tears of joy? or tears of "why didn't you get him to smile?!?!?"

Definitely the good kind of tears.  I think his pensive look is very sweet.

DR Jose, wonderful photos. Glad everyone had a great time.  

And tomorrow... Well... My brother is taking the 6:00 train back to D.C.  However, before then, he's made a lot - A LOT - of plans for him and John before the head to Penn Station.  Heck, I'm not even sure I could accomplish all the things he wants to get done in that window of time.  -But we're going to try!

I only saw Mr. Shearing live once - at Carnegie Hall, I think, with Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth - what an evening THAT was.

Alas, I wasn't in the proper stance for this picture... But it's close...


That's my brother's Coast Guard buddy, Steve. -Who has actually graced these pages before.  He met us for our afternoon snack at the Nespresso Café, and my brother and him just went out to grab an adult beverage or two while Uncle Jojo watches over John.  *Steve's also a brand new father!  His daughter was born a week ago.  :)

You mean more exciting than the Roosevelt Middle School Auditorium in Estherville, Iowa

I had a wonderfully weepy time revisiting the rest of the GREY'S ANATOMY episodes. That episode with the two soldiers tears me up every time I see it. So beautiful.

I began on the bonus features but only got one of them watched: an 8-minute introduction to the three new females who joined the cast this year as regulars. A puff piece to be sure, but nice to hear how they got the jobs. Chyler Leigh (Lexie) didn't even have to audition! She got the job during the interview.

I am watching a very long but so far interesting motion picture on DVD.  It's one I've had for a while, and I don't think I've watched more than two of the six movies included in this set.

Tonight I recorded off HBO-HD one of last year's big Oscar nominees: MICHAEL CLAYTON. I never saw it in theaters nor have I rented/bought the DVD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD.

I had no idea that I'd have ANY free time this weekend to watch anything for fun, but I might actually be able to watch MICHAEL CLAYTON tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds like Hurricane Ike was terrible but not as dire as the most dire predictions by almost everyone - in fact, about half of what they predicted - a very good thing, because of this thing had been what they predicted it would have been truly horrendous.

Actually, the predictions were almost spot on except for the height of the storm surge. Estimates said 20 feet, reality was 15.5 feet. The surge protection for Galveston is 17 feet.

Another two feet of surge and Galveston would have been destroyed, the Houston ship channel severely compromised, and the oil refineries seriously damaged.

And, there was enough destruction to more than justify the mandatory evacuations.

And in my house, it was "there are children back home in the Phillipines who would fight over that food".

I will take a drive at some point.  The gas prices here are holding, but I'm told that gougers in other States have raised them, some over 5.00 a gallon.  Those people and companies ought to be run out of town on a rail.

The run-up of pump prices was done at the independent retailer level - the oil distribution companies did not do a bump-up of wholesale prices. Most states will prosecute retail price gougers given sustantiation. The Texas AG was on TV inviting complaints.
