The Magnum was the ride that made me realize my neck was not up to these anymore. I’m afraid of heights & have to laugh that watching the video bothers me while I found riding it to be great fun.

Well, today (so far) has been a day of doing nothing but watching TV, eating and HHWing.

But now, I need to take a shower, get dressed and go to my sister's to help with some stuff. It shouldn't take too long, but you never know. Tomorrow will definitely be another day of doing nothing, mainly because my sister will be out of town for the day!

Hopefully, I'll be home in time to see "Mad Men" on hi-def (it's at 7:00 pm PDT). "Defying Gravity" will be on at 10 p.m., so there's no problem seeing that.

Have a good rest of the day, all!

BK - we heard a report on NPR early this morning about the water main break in Studio City and I wondered how it would affect you. Is your water brown? Are you under a boil advisory?

Can you tell that we live in a neighborhood where water main breaks occur fairly frequently?

I am back from a wonderful dinner with DR vixmom and the vixter; I met them after the show and we went to John's Pizzeria, which is next to the St James where FINIAN'S RAINBOW will open next month. The company was sparkling and the pizza was delish. Who could ask for anything more?

The original production of NINE was, for me, the last of the really stunning musicals: that fantastic tiled set in black and white, the fantastic costumes in black for everyone until the colored ones for the Casanova film, followed after the suicide attempt by the same costumes from the beginning in white, that amazing cast of women and Raul Julia, and the brilliant staging of Tommy Tune. There was also the added attraction of a score I like a lot, scored by the great Jonathan Tunick for a big orchestra of around 27 players. It was one of my greatest moments in a Broadway theatre, especially since most of the shlock produced around it at the time that I was seeing wasn't so hot. The original production was the epitome of chic which is an essence missing a lot from theatre theses days. I wish the film well, although I have a grudge that Rob Marshall was stupid enough to drop Jonathan Tunick from the roster, and I know that chic is a talent Tommy Tune has as a director that I am not certain belongs to Mr Marshall. We'll see.

Happy Birthday to Toby!

140-POUND COUGAR CAPTURED IN SEATTLE'S LARGEST CITY PARK

SEATTLE — A cougar that prowled through Seattle for about a week and forced the closure of the city's largest park was captured early Sunday, wildlife officials said.

The cougar was immobilized with a tranquilizer in Discovery Park early Sunday, Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesman Darren Friedel said.
An enforcement officer tracked the animal after authorities were told the cougar had been spotted Saturday evening, the latest sighting in or near the 534-acre preserve, Friedel said.

The cougar is a 2 1/2-year-old male, weighs 140 pounds and is in very good health , Capt. Bill Hebner said. Wildlife agents are considering releasing it into the wild in Snohomish County, north of Seattle, he said.
"It's a very good prospect for relocation," Hebner said. "It wasn't aggressive or stalking people, and it maintained its natural respect for the wild."

The animal likely preyed on house cats during its time in the park, he said.

Jennifer - maybe Montreal is next!

Jane-- thanks for asking. Yes, I am pretty much settled. I have about 35 boxes of books unpacked, some art up (just aboput all that I'm going to put up since I more or less upholstered the walls of my prevous place with paintings and photos), most of the furniture where I want it (I still have a little figuring to do). Some things will get moved around as I adjust to the space.

It's a stucco, southwestern, sort of pueblo deco 2 bedroom bungalow built in 1940 in a very quiet neighborhood. I have a small yard (with a small pool) that Sugar can enjoy. It's feeling more and more like home, and getting to be here the other morning when we had such a great rain was particularly nice.

Glad you enjoyed it DR Kerry.

We lived in Michigan at least 2 1/2 hours from Cedar Point so we didn't go very often. Once we stayed at the lovely old hotel with a 2 minute walk to the park. We invited the boys best friends to join us. We were very grateful for the 2 minute walk when Keith got very sick on one of the newer rides. Needless to say that was his last time on anything that did a corkscrew. He doesn't do loops either.

I told him he felt like I do when I fly & his reaction was "no way or you would never fly". In my opinion it is easier to avoid rides that corkscrew than flying on a plane.

DR Kerry your new bungalow sounds just about perfect.

Does Sugar swim?

She is quite interested in the pool (although we had one at the other house, so she has spent enough time around one-- just not for 2 years).

I'll take her in soon, maybe even tomorrow, so she can get a good idea where the steps are and how to get out. From what I recall when I took her into the other pool, she did not care for it. Our previous dog, Mazal, was a wonderful Black Lab whose parents would dive off the board and swim down to the bottom of the pool to fetch. Mazal would have none of it and practically scratched my arms and chest off trying to avoid going in the pool. I didn't want to make her swim; I just wanted to make sure she knew what the water was and how to get out of it safely!

When you and DR Sandra see it, I have a feeling she'll be more stunned than you will be!

Water seems fine. I finished I Am Waiting, then also finished William Gibson's account of the out-of-town travails of Two For the Seesaw - very interesting reading.
