I don't know if BK has ever asked this, but here's a question that should bring back memories:

What is the first professional stage play (or musical) you ever saw?
...
Jane Powell and Edward Mulhare in My Fair Lady.  A women's club that my mother belonged to gathered there with husbands and some of their progeny, therefor the family went.  It was done in the round.  During the race portion of the Ascot Gavotte, the horses were projected racing around the back wall of the theater.

The theater itself was located in the far western end of the San Fernando Valley, if memory doesn't trick me too terribly.  It later became a church, and may still be there.

Surprise.  Poor Keith spent close to 2 hours (Bryan went down for awhile when he realized what Keith was doing) shoveling the road.  Yes, our very long road.  Craig & Ioana want to go to the courthouse & pick up copies of their official marriage certificate.

I remember that theater.  Saw a couple of plays there (NEVER TOO LATE w/Andy Devine & WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN?, a musical with Frank Gorshin).  I don't recall the name of the theater, but I think it's now a church.

Robert Lowery was Batman!!!

In the serial, right? 

In CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL, Lowery played the role that Fred MacMurray did in the movie.

Hi all.  What a day!  After I took Sheena to the dog park, I had to make a quick (ha) run over to Brandon to pick up a few things.  Her dog food, Bil Jac among them. 

I also bought a humming bird feeder, a bird feeder, a squirrel feeder, a bird bath and a shepherds hook to hang the two bird feeders on.  I've been wanting to get these items for a long while but couldn't find the ones I wanted.  I finely did so I got them. 

Then I did the grocery shopping for the week.  Christmas dinner will be a ham.  A much, much smaller one then I got at Easter time and had to eat for the next 6 months.  :) I also bought a very nice beef roast (in case I change my mind about the ham) and a pork roast for New Years. 

It took forever!  The traffic was horrible (wonder why?  ;) )

Then when I got home around 4, I put all the feeders up and gave Miss Sheena a bath so she would be nice for Christmas.  I wanted to do that later in the week but the weather man said our nice weather is going Bye Bye. 

By the time I put everything away and made dinner, it was after 7. 

Needless to say, I didn't get around to doing the Christmas cards.  At this point, I just give up.  There will be no cards sent this year.  I don't know why I couldn't seem to get it in gear but it's way to late to even start them.

Even though Anita Bryant was somewhat of a pawn in that whole debacle , she did get what she deserved-- a divorce and no career.  She is/was just pasty enough to have ended up on Lawrence Welk or something otherwise.    I did not march in San Francisco over that, but I did a candlelight march in D.C.   I did make my whole family boycott Donald Duck Florida orange juice, though.   My younger sister wondered for years why my mother changed brands!  LOL.

I saw"The Boy In Striped Pajamas" this last week but could not march against that.
I need a happy movie.

I most definitely need a "happy" movie after I saw "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". I'd suggest "Slumdog Millionaire" - although that one will make you cry too.  ;)

vixmom, I didn't hit the guy from the rear, I hit clipped his car on the driver's side, just towards the back of the car rather than the front, which is why I think there probably wasn't all that much damage to his car.

Ok, I wasn't going to weigh in on this but if you were turning left, it was probably your duty to yield even if he passed on the right to get around the car that stopped to let you turn (but didn't have to stop to let you turn).  At least that's the way I read it.  If they had to yield or had a traffic signal, well that's a different story.  Just my gut reaction.  I could be wrong.  And since I'm not licensed in California...I must add the disclaimer that this isn't legal advice...

Well, if you can explain how one is supposed to yield to someone who one cannot see because he has gone around cars in a non-lane and is blocked from view and is speeding to boot, well, I'm happy to listen.  There is something a little awry about the traffic laws in this country that clearly favor assholes who are dangerous and shouldn't be behind the wheel.  I will not bend on this, and even though I am insured and it's not coming out of my pocket, I have instructed my insurance company that they should not pay and that I am happy to present this case to a jury.  It's really that simple.  Next you'll all be telling me that people who are talking on cell phones and causing accidents are IN THE RIGHT.  Well, they aren't and this guy wasn't.
Not saying he was right or that there was anything you could have done to avoid it at the time. It's just who normally has the right of way. As I said, I don't know exactly what happened so I could be wrong. I'm just saying normally the person who turns left has to yield the right of way.   I am very glad you're ok and hope I'm wrong about it.  You are in California. things are different there

I just finished season 4 of LOST

All I can saw is WOW.

I loved.

I believe this is the way to watch the series.
Without commercials. And over a few days. It is gripping television and I never knew what to expect.

I even found some of the Easter eggs.

I am now on to the bonus material.
