Ah yes I think I forgot to comment on the newly svelte and UN-zaftig MR BK in the Patti Photos.  Most becoming, and inspiring to those of us who could lose a pound or twenty.

I grew up mostly where I still live, although we moved away from grades three through grade seven (first semester).

Great.  What with the TOD, I'll be spending the whole day thinking about Burbank.

I don't even know if anything I remember from that berg still exists.

Good morning, all! I have a lot of errands out and about today: a teacher sent me a reqiest for the published 1903 orchestra parts to "The March of the Toys" so I have to dig them out and copy them for him. After that I have a bit of work to do on LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40, and at 11:45 I heed to be at my first session of physical therapy. From there I go to 125th and Park Avenue to a recording session, which will occupy most of my afternoon. When I get home, I have to deal with dinner, and finish the HUCK FINN proof.

and that's enough.

Except for the TOD:

In the summer, Lesourdsville Lake, the local amusement park and Sunset Park's community swimming pool, the Park Street ice cream stand

The rest of the year. the Paramount Theatre, the public library

Good morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And once the nieces and nephew get resettled after breakfast, I think I'll be heading back to bed for another hour or two...

DR ELMORE I got tired just reading about your day.

I got back from WalMart.  I now have a HUGE 20" television set, I can watch it with both eyes.

It took me quite a long time to get to sleep last night. I wasn't exactly restless, my brain would just not shut down. -I could also tell that my Mom was up late last night, checking out various things on the computer...

My Dad just took her to the hospital for her check-in and prep day.  I'll head over this afternoon once she's in her room. My brother, Mike, is still here with his kids, and they will stop by the hospital later on their way back up to Fairfax; and my brother, Don, will be driving back down from Fairfax today (he drove back up last night).

In the meantime, I think I really do need to get a little more sleep.

Good morning, y'all!

Busy, busy, busy weekend.  I guess I'm glad that I do not have off today so I can relax.

I swear that I saw the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile yesterday on the highway.

MAD MEN really is my favorite television show.  It is perfectly cast, well written, and I haven't found an anachronism yet - if anyone here has, let me know - although some things are bit vague time wise in my head.

And last night's final moments were most intriguing.

"Hello, it's Dick Whitman."

And last week's Betty:  "I keep dreaming about a suitcase."

And the last shot of this week's episode......

TOD:

I grew up in Camden, NJ.  My favorite places were:

Bonsell School--we lived right across the street from the school yard.  Lots of places to play and hang out.
Whitman Park--another fun place to run and play, but also the center for some neighborhood events such as block parties and concerts.
Korvette's--the BEST toy and record departments anywhere!
Baltake's Bakery--so-so baked goods, but always magically decorated for all the holidays throughout the year
Banasz 5 & 10--local store--fun little toy department
Stem's Variety Store--local pharmacy/ice cream/candy/newsstand store--you could buy just about anything there--it's where I mostly bought my comic books and Mad and Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines.
West Jersey Hospital grounds--fun to cut through and explore on our walk home from school--until they complained to our school principal about us.
Star Lite Drive-in--home of my initial movie going experience.  There were also a couple of movie theatres in downtown Camden whose names escape me at the mo'.

Another favorite place when I was young was my parents' bedroom window at the front of our rowhome, especially during winter when the tree across the street was bare of leaves and allowed an unobstructed view.  From that second story window, I could see both city halls of Camden and Philly, the twinkling lights of the Ben Franklin Bridge and the big red neon signs of the PSFS Building in Philly and the Sears store in Camden.  Even though I had often seen those sites close up many times, to my young mind,  being able to see them from my house was wonderful (and sometimes frightening) reminder of how big the world actually was beyond my little kingdom.  I often wish I had a photograph of that view.

TOD:

I was born in Phoenix, and I still live here and will probably die here.  I've traveled a lot but this was/is my home, and i think I'm stuck here.  I have wanted to move at various times but had siblings and a husband to watch over, and all my friends and family were here.

I have little family left, a few dear friends, but Phoenix is not the Phoenix in which I grew up, and it's far worse.  Perhaps that's true of all cities.

Luckily, I have all of you!

I am loving this season as well, very rich in character development. Peggy has been a fascinating character to see develop, and I wish we'd get more of Joan, too. Of course, the men are all fascinating. It's a shame these seasons only go for 13 episodes.
