As far as the price of gas goes, it usually goes down after an election and then just slowly creeps right back up. It went up a lot just before Memorial Day (which is typical), but it has hasn't gone back down yet. They know everyone will pay whatever price they charge anyway.

For me Jane Fonda is a celebrity - Heidi and Spencer Pratt, Sunjaya, Janice Dickinson not so much. Janice probably more than the others because of her modeling work.

I sure hate to see Gasoline Prices creep up to $3....which I guess we can expect for the July 4 holiday...but not Freedom Day!

Gas here at the most expensive stations (76, Mobil) has reached 3.20 for premium and 3.05 for medium grade, hence the rant.

Congrats on the Blue Ray player, JRand!

My move to Blue Ray will likely be a long time coming...unless ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE goes BD.

Gas here in downtown Salem is at 2.59 or so, I think.

My stories about moving! I was born in Alabama (my dad was in the army and stationed there...I have no emotional nor familial ties to the South) and we lived in Alabama, Georgia, California, Texas and then Germany by the time I was four years old. We moved to Colorado when I was seven and Washington state when I was 10 (in 1976). My parents still live in the same house. Since then, I've moved to Bellingham (for college), back home, Tumwater (for two years, with a housemate), Lacey (for four years, by myself), my sister's house (for about five years, with my sister and niece), my own place again on the west side of Olympia (by myself, for a year and a half), my sister's house again after she had her current house (that she just moved out of) built (for about a year and a half, with a housemate), and now in my very own condo...just me and my cat (formerly, my former housemate's cat). Every time that I've moved myself, it's always just been in cars and trucks of family and friends and maybe a rented van. For the most part, it's all been fairly easy, just cumbersome. And like several others here on HHW, I don't ever plan to move again...EVER!!!

And now, I must take a shower and get dressed. I'm getting my eyes checked in less than an hour! Wish me luck!

Until later!

I am enjoying reading about the moves.

Of course DR's know that - if they know the street address - they can probably look at their old homes on Google Earth.

One of the houses I lived in as a child is no longer there. It has been demolished. The one in Coon Rapids, MN doesn't have a street level view, it's only overhead.

Wow, all episodes of MEDIUM this season have been good. They are always
emotional and interesting. But wow, last night's episode had to be one of the
most emotional shows they've had. I was practically in tears by the end. Great
show for patricia arquette. And i agree with DR MattH. So happy CBS picked up the
show! But i wonder what will happen now. That was really a to be continued!

Good Afternoon!

Well, I guess I've had a semi-productive few hours. Dishes washed, CDs organized and picked over (another batch going down to Academy this afternoon), phone calls made, emails answered. And I think I'm going to make a quick pass with the vacuum cleaner before I head out in a few. -It's been nice having the french doors open the past few days, but Mother Nature does tend to blow some debris in and around.

As for gas prices...

-Remember what they were just a year ago?

-Gas prices have always - at least in my memory - gone up during the summer months. All about (supposed) supply and (supposed) demand.

I just watched a few minutes of SPEED RACER a regular DVD on my new BLU RAY player, and I am most impressed with the difference. Certainly worth the $140.....and of course I am remembering that my first VCR way back in 19 and 85 cost me $229.

DR JOSE when/what is your next gig?

Things start picking up again at the end of this week - now that everyone knows that I'm back in town. As for my next actual gig-gig, well... Just waiting for the call, DR JRand.

*It was a bit sobering when I went to the Marriage Equality rally in Astoria on Sunday. I happened to run into a couple of friends who I've worked with in the past - fellow musicians, make-up artists, costumers, dressers. I asked them if they had "called out" for their second Sunday show. Well, a number of them replied, "Well, I've been unemployed for "x-number-of" months." $:-\$

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #83 on:** June 02, 2009, 11:06:39 AM »

OK...

And now...

Time to get ready to head out for the afternoon and evening. I have a few errands to run this afternoon, and then I'll be hopping on the PATH train to head over to Jersey City to have dinner with my friend, Jerry. -Jerry is the guy I met on my return trip from Chicago. He's finally getting settled into his new digs, and he's having an informal "Welcome Me To The East Coast" gathering tonight. -And since a new episode of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" airs tonight, that will be the capper for the evening's festivities.

Ben · « **Reply #84 on:** June 02, 2009, 11:06:48 AM »

We are going to one of the BMI final classes this afternoon (5:30). A friend is taking the class and she wants us to see her work.

Jose, I keep meaning to ask, have you ever heard of (I'm sure you have) Mystery Dinner Theatre in Richmond. A dear friend from the old days, Jim Daab, has run it for the past many years, approaching 20 years, I think. He's coming to town on Friday with his wife for their 25th Wedding Anniversary. I haven't seen him in years. I'm looking forward to seeing him and Laura (and then on Sunday spending Tony night on the Upper West Side).

Ben - Yes, I've most definitely heard of the Mystery Dinner Theatre in Richmond - even if I've never actually been to one of their presentations. And I believe they operate out of Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, and Arlington now too.
