Oh... And catching up from yesterday's Topic O' the Day...

G&T, Gin & Tonic - preferably Tanqueray.  Although, I'm starting to grow very fond of Hendrick's - the extra "notes" of cucumber, coriander, citrus and rose petals are truly, well, intoxicating.

And I still do love my sweet and sour drinks: Whiskey Sours, Amaretto Sours, etc.

And almost anything with an umbrella in it.

Media Check:

DVD:
To make BK proud, a French film OSS 117, CAIRO NEST OF SPIES (I have heard  very good things about this one...I missed it when it played theaters here)

CD:
Soundtrack to the recent Bollywood ghost comedy Bhool Bulaiyaa

I think I will check that out DR Jose...although I want to double check on what I would be losing if I do so.

Much of my "sorted" (not sordid) e-mail is stored on-line rather then on my computer. I don't want to lose all of that.

You won't lose any of it.  All you really lose is access to AOL's "free online support".  If you need AOL support after you switch plans, then you pay for that on a per-need basis.  All functionality stays the same.  You are only changing your billing, not the program.

*Are you still on the $24.95/month?  I hope you're at least on the $14.95 or $9.95 plans.

Morning all. As Jose said, it's snowing in New York City and it looks like an all day even. Our first of the season real snowfall. In spite of the snow we may try to go out and see the tree at Rock Center.

DR Druxy, my sympathies to your wife.  I know how she feels.  I hope you can find a replacement for the glass.

Is it so much you don’t want to drive to Austin more than the nuisance of driving with the pets?  I find the pet part a breeze compared to driving any distance.

[Jane]

DR Druxy, both of my grandmothers collected antique glass as does my mother.  She's taught me a lot about it.  I am also very familiar with sad feelings when a family piece is accidentially broken, including times when I was the culprit and not the cat.   There are many pieces that can't be replaced or repaired but with a lamp, you can often find a replacement for the shade.  It will still be a family lamp, it's just had an extreme makeover!

I hope your wife finds her shade on the sites I sent. If not, there are lots of sites out there.  I've gotten dishes from discontinued sets through Replacements.com, but I think they just do dishes.  Good luck!

And glassware.

Oh, come on!  With just a few more inanities between us, we can easily reach PAGE 2!!!!!

LOOKIE!!!!!   It's DR Ron Pulliam!!!!!!!!    

Ummm... Too easy. 

[Jane]

Oh, and my costuming for that holiday show (and Bad Seed experience) had me so preoccupied, that I forgot to share that I got my Master degree on Dec. 6 -- stick a fork in me -- I'm officially done, finished, fini.

I'm a survivor!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

[JoseSPiano]

DR Ron Pulliam - I hope you're able to sleep better during the remainder of your time back home.

[Jane]

Good Morning!

Re: There is a Curious Paradox....


Who understands why Spring is born
Out of Winter's laboring pain?
Or why we all must die a bit
Before we grow again.
I do not know the answer.
I merely know it's true.
I hurt them for that reason
And myself a little bit, too.

DR MISS KAREN is now a MASTER!!

[JMK]

It's yet another snow day for the kids here--which mean they'll have had a full 3 weeks of winter break, all told.

[Jrand73]

DR ARNOLDBROCKMAN - isn't that the only song Noel Airman ever wrote?  Or did he ever finish that musical?

[DERBRUCER]

...I got my Master degree ...

Congrats - now all the youngsters can look upon you with awe, and will hearken attentively to your pronouncements.

Sure they will!

For those who long for this sort of thing, it is a GORGEOUS late-Spring-like day here in Johnston SC.

The air is fresh and warm.  The sky is a dazzling blue speckled with random white, puffy clouds.

It's not what I expected, but I'll TAKE it!   

[Jrand73]

Rain rain rain today....oh and more rain.

Better than snow or ice though, thank you very much.

Has Cillaliz been out making snow angels yet?

[Jrand73]

DR MBARNUM that music was by Edwin Astley father of Rick Astley who was big on MTV back when they played videos.

[Cillaliz]

Has Cillaliz been out making snow angels yet?

Cillaliz was out trying to dig out.  I had a very hard time locating my solar lights that line the walk. I couldn't find one of them.  i wanted to dig them out to be sure I didn't break them by stepping on them.   The road graders just came by....that means I need to go dig out a 3 foot tall snow drift that now is sealing my driveway shut.   

I also dug out the ground feeder for the bird family that lives in the bushes at the front of my house.  They were chirping at me the whole time I was shoveling the walk, lol.   

I'll go get the driveway open and  get some photos in a while.   

I called into the court so now I don't need to be there at all today.

Good morning, all!

The reviewer saw the show the first weekend and it's just now (our last weekend) being published.

At least, he liked it!

[Cillaliz]

The girls across the street were playing in the snow when I was out earlier and I could hear the kids down the block squealing with delight as they slid down the hill.  At least it's not that cold today  it's in the 20s so it isn't bad to be outside.   I do love this weather and boy do the activity points add up with clearing the snow.

I do have a little snow blower so most of the work is pretty easy, there are places I can't use it, though and that's a pain.  better go do some more digging..

Miss Karen!!! congratulations on your alphabetic addition!!! A wonderful accomplishment. I join the tribe in our pleasure  over your success!!!

Hozay! Congrats to you, as well, for photo credit! and much joy for your being able to stay home and have them fax you the money!!! Best kind o' job.

Yesterday was a truly lovely birthday - I'm having days of wonderful. Harvested so many lovely birthday wishes from the HHW denizens. Fielded many telephone calls from family and old friends. Received many excellent email greeting. Headed up to Ventura to see my old pals from Juilliard. There was a festive dinner for me - grilled salmon, green beans with pecans, garlic, parsley, etc., smoked fresh mozzarella, a crisp and delicious Villonier, a bouquet of pastel peach roses and a funny card. Then up to Santa Barbara for a truly inexplicable Peter Pan (the prototype for the Comden Green one that everyone loves) - kazillion dollar sets and costumes, flying by Foy, top shelf musicians --- and the bargain basement cast, director, choreographer, arranger, conductor. Oy, vey. We left, whistling the sets. Thence back to Ventura for a triple chocolate mousse cake and herb tea!!! Chuck and I got back to the pad after midnight, and fell quickly into slumber.

Today, one more piece of paper to sign to be completely out from under that condo!! And this evening, my reading!!! Tomorrow, a lovely family partay in honor of my 60th.

(One other wonderful bit of serendipity yesterday - I stopped by Rikki's place on the way north to pick up some candy she needs delivered - and found a birthday card waiting for me from my pal SingSong!! Thanks, SingSong!!!)

This ol' gal feels cherished, I tell ya - cherished!!!
