Dear DAW,    Everytime I'm near a baby or little kid these days, I always say the same thing "they never had that when my kid was little".  Kids have such cool stuff these days.

[S. Woody White]

I have to get up at six to drive my wife to the airport.

Is she tired of your new location already?      

Actually, she's flying back to handle the physical part of our move with the moving company, while I stay here to coordinate the stuff with our new house.

I hope you're not prone to depression, DR Druxy.  When der B and I moved here to Delaware, he flew back to Long Beach to take care of moving the furniture et al pretty much like what you're describing, and it all backfired on us.  What with my not knowing anyone, being all alone in a strange environment, my depression kicked up and went into overtime.  I ended up having to go to the ER, to get meds, and he had to make a special flight back to help me find a doctor.  It was the one part of the move that was not at all good.

Take care of yourself!

Dear George,    I'm glad I ordered my copy too.  (2)

[Sam]

Thanks Matt H,   Criminal Minds tonight.

[Sam]

Yes,  Happy Passover/Pesach to all.

I went to see Hair during highschool at the Aquarius Theatre (I was 17? and heard there were naked boys), but to this day I do not remember seeing anything on stage.  I love the movie, have it on DVD.

Elmore, wasn't Miss Evelyn Nesbit a Florodora girl?

[TCB]

TCB  here are some vibes and a hug for you.

Thanks, td.

[TCB]

Well, my aunt now has distance glasses, reading glasses, and sunglasses - it only took 7 trips to the optometrist's office.

I get to go back to my eye doctor on Friday to find out if I am going blind.

VIBES!!!

Thanks, Jane.

[TCB]

You realize, DR TCB, that if we ever met in person, the room would clear very quickly?

Yes!  Wouldn't that be fun.

[Jane]

I wish I were at a Seder tonight.  It must be why I have been eating matzo all day.

She was in the chorus but not one of the sextet.

I could go for brisket!

Watched Laura's link.    Arizona has a snake, I believe a sidewinder ??, that you can drive over and not really hurt it.  Well that's the memory of a l0 or ll year old.

I wish I were at a Seder tonight.  It must be why I have been eating matzo all day.

I wish I was celebrating Passover so I could have some good gefilte fish.

[Sam]

Scent of Mystery is calling me from the other room.   

Have a good evening everyone.

Bye, Sam!

[Laura]

Thanks, Elmore. I thought the name "Florodora" was familiar.

[TCB]

Thanks, Elmore. I thought the name "Florodora" was familiar.

That was elmore's drag name!

[Jane]

Bruce, I remember my father explaining to me why your father disappeared so suddenly.  He did so with real compassion for your father and the unfortunate situation he found himself in.  I liked your father & appreciate reading how the happy ending to the story came about. 

[Jane]

I could go for brisket!

Yuck

[TCB]

Jane, do you make your own gefilte fish?

[TCB]

Yuck

Well, I guess a brisket has driven Jane from the site.

[Jane]

No.  Every year in high school I went to my best friend's house for Passover.  A couple of years I went the day before to help set up & watched her mother make gefilte fish.  I was too young to remember my mother making it before she switched to doctoring the jarred fish.  I never ate more than a few bites of it, however it was made.

[Jane]

  I was responding to your question.

[Jane]

My mother did not make chicken soup for her matzo balls.  She made turkey soup-oh so delicious.  I was rather shocked when I had matzo ball soup out.  No one else made soup like my mother's.

You're only jealous because it was classier than your Bertha Venation!

[Laura]

I wish I was celebrating Passover so I could have some good gefilte fish.

Is there such a thing?

It doesn't look so good in the store.

[S. Woody White]

Well, here's a Scientology Horror Show: Travolta and Cruise are remaking "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Another Must-Miss Movie!

Why do people do this??  Why remake classics??  Why not remake a movie that originally bombed and make it better??

Ugh.

Because there are an amazing number of people out there who do not watch old movies.

No, seriously.  It just never occurs to them that something that is "classic" might be worth seeing.

I ran across a case of this today.  I've been letting the boss know that, if he upgrades to BluRay, der B and I are very willing to loan what we have, so that he and his wife will have something to watch.  Well, I ran into said wife today, and she's a bit of a trophy, blonde and pretty, but fairly savvy.  But when I told her of the discs that were arriving via post today, and mentioned An American in Paris, she went blank.  "Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron."  "I've never heard of it."  And I have every reason to believe that she was telling me the truth.

I've mentioned big stars from the days of yore to coworkers, and they ask "Who's that?"  They haven't a clue.  Totally off the radar.  It's scary.

This doesn't mean that I think a Cruise/Travolta remake is a good idea.  But it goes a long way to explaining the glut of remakes - "no one" remembers the originals!

My mother recooked it with carrots & I don't know what else.  When Keith was young his mother's father made the fish.  Later is mother kind of doctored the jar version, a bit like my mother did it.
