I thought I had told it before - or maybe it was deemed too shocking for HHW.

I got the story from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

I may not be back on here after this morning for a 24-hour period. This afternoon, I'm heading up to Winston-Salem to see best friend John's mother in a production of Agatha Christie's SPIDER'S WEB. I have seen his mother act before (she's really great) but I've never seen this particular Christie play which is the major reason I wanted to go.

We'll go up and see the play tonight, and I'll be spending the night with my friend Gregg who lives there. We're coming back late Saturday morning, so it'll likely be Saturday noon or so before I can get back on-line here.

Just wanted to explain my E&T behavior for anyone who will notice my absence.

Last night I was scrolling through the HD channels on my cable box and was thrilled and absolutely shocked to notice that both FX-HD and AMC-HD have been added to my cable system's line-up (without fanfare, I might add).

With these additions, all of the available HD channels that I needed to be able to see my favorite shows in high definition have now been added by my cable company. I couldn't be happier or more relieved. Now, I can stop my monthly barrage of e-mails to Time Warner about adding these channels to their line-up.

Never heard of this play, DR MATTH - let me know what it's like....we are always looking for mysteries!

Matt H. · « **Reply #38 on:** April 03, 2009, 06:51:47 AM »

If GIGI on Blu-ray comes today (as it should, but who knows with the USPS), I'll be madly attempting to get it all done this afternoon and the review posted before we head out of town around 6.

If it doesn't arrive, I'll continue working on HAWAII FIVE-O today. There are 24 episodes in the set, and I've only watched 6 of them thus far.

Will do! Ever since I read about it years ago, I've always wondered why it didn't get much play around here when THE MOUSETRAP and TEN LITTLE INDIANS seem to get done every other year. From the little bit I've read, I think it's more suspense than one of her standard whodunits, but I could be wrong about that.

Good morning, all! I awoke with headache and stayed in bed for a while waiting for it to go away. After my bath, I spoke to Mr Raines about the GUIDING LIGHT situation and his plans. He's off to Houston for a concert and we both had an email last night from the conductor praising the orchestra's rehearsal and my orchestrations for Ron. Then I had my oatmeal and checked my bank balance. I need to call the pharmacy for meds and walk down to pick them up. While I'm down there I will stop at the NYPL and check out the women designers exhibit, then an afternoon working on Mr Loesser's second act of The Most Happy Fella.

Tonight, I have a performance of THE BEGGAR'S OPERA to attend at Manhattan School of Music. Tomorrow, I have my first meeting with Mr McGlinn's executor and I guess we'll plan the approach to emptying the apartment.

TOD:
DVD: Jerome Robbins, a lot of Charle Dickens adaptations
CD: Handel's glorious ACIS AND GALATEA, Mendelssohn's version of Handel's ACIS & GALATEA, Mozart's version of Handel's ACIS AND GALATEA, KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway
VCR: Shocking!

In the DVD: I am continuing to watch AN AGE OF KINGS, the BBC's chronological series of Shakespeare's history plays. It is excellent. Sean Connery makes a very good Hotspur. My exercise DVD is currently GLADITOR OF ROME with Gordon Scott from a boxed set of fifty Italian Sword & Sandal movies entitled collectively The Warriors.

CD: Listening to Bernard Herrmann scores.

Guess I'll head down now and get cleaned up a bit earlier than usual for my usual Friday outing. Then it's back (hopefully to review GIGI if it arrives) and then off on my out of town adventure.

Here's a link to the actual opinion. It overturns the Iowa statute banning gay marriage based on the Iowa Constitution

I've just started reading it, but it looks like it's a very well written opinion

re: GUIDING LIGHT being cancelled.

It is very sad. Although to me the writing has been very inconsistent. But there are some fabulous actors. I wonder if any of them will show up on other soaps?

BK , you have, of course, told bits of your Fabulous Carol Channing Adventure© here and/or elsewhere over the years. Enough so that Joe and I often quote, relevant to anyone who scorns someone else's expert competence, "What do they know, Jerry? They're only electricians." Doing our best Carol impersonations, of course.
