[Jane]

DR Ginny, sorry you had a disappointing evening.

[Jane]

DR Jose is a star in the DC area!

Yup.  I had the good luck to have lunch with him at a fantastic restaurant.  I'm sure he will remember the name and location.  I just remember he picked me up at the Library of Congress.

Had you two met at the time?

Yes.  I think this was the last year I was at the NIH.  I didn't make it to NY that year & stayed a couple of extra days to stay in DC & see the library & the sights.

The fantastic restaurant in question is Zaytinya in DC's Penn Quarter.  It's part of Jose Andres' Think Food Group mini-empire.

And, yes, we had met previously during the inaugural HHW Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating Tour.

That was a day to never forget, absolutely wonderful!!!

[Jane]

I should also say I enjoyed seeing your play, and spending quiet time with you in DC.  Also a special day. 

[Jane]

Hmm... I believe I may have self-incriminated myself many times over through the course of my last couple of posts.

Now who wants some chicken?

Well, you certainly drove KevinH away!

He is still here  

[Cillaliz]

I loved the walking and eating tour and also loved the walking through Central Park then walking and walking and walking and walking and walking to Serendipity

[Jane]

Jane, Zach is OK, not great.  His fever spikes, then returns to normal.  I, on the other hand, am suddenly feeling quite stuffed up and sneezy.  Oy.

Oy.  VIBES TO YOU ALL.  Tell DW Betsey I said hello & she must not catch this too.

[Cillaliz]

DR Laura, did you ever hear if cillaliz got adopted?

[Jane]

I have had too much sugar tonight from tasting the batters & cookies.  This is why I need to bake in the morning.  I'm never going to sleep & I need my energy tomorrow.

[Laura]

I didn't hear, Cillaliz. I presume she did. She was certainly not unadoptable.

And I remember you savoring your soup... And the waiter who kept trying to clear your plate each time he walked by.

[Cillaliz]

I didn't hear, Cillaliz. I presume she did. She was certainly not unadoptable.

Well, I'll just believe she's in a nice home being spoiled rotten!

[KevinH]

DR Jose: unfortunately, I didn't see the shows you listed.    As for other questions, I don't drink Cherry Coke and never really thought about casino carpets!  

Well, much as I hate to leave, I'm afraid it's off to bed for me.   Thanks to all for such a fun first day of posting!

My favorite HHW get-together was when BK came up to Portland to do readings from his books and we had almost the entire PNW HHW contingent together at one time!  That was great!

[JoseSPiano]

I have physical therapy at 1:oo; I cancelled on Friday because I had completely lost my voice and felt like going nowhere but to bed. Speaking of bed, I have to make mine. And look online for a new quilt or comforter.

DR elmore - Couldn't you just walk down to the corner and take a look in Laytner's?

If you do want to go the online route, I'd check out QVC's house-brand of comforters, Northern Lights.  -I think they're still made.  I really, really like mine and the quality and prices are very competitive.

[DAW]

I believe I may have self-incriminated myself many times over through the course of my last couple of posts.

Oh, don't worry about that, dear.  Now, please speak a little more loudly into this microphone...

[George]

Time to head home and watch some TV...and eat...and pet my cat...and ketchup on HHW...and then go to sleep.

Until later!

Valley of the Dolls: "I'll Plant My Own Tree" - with Garland's vocal replacing Whiting's

Laytner's has nothing. I stopped there on my way to physical therapy.

I've read the mail. The Grove Encyclopedia of Opera is on sale for $150 and that's a really good price. I also found some Civil War books for my brother Randy for Christmas. I thought I might find soemthing on Shakespeare for Charlotte but i think the books they're selling this year I bought for her last Christmas.

With the current state of your voice, DR elmore3003, if you were to sing "Happy Birthday" to HHW, you might sound like Marilyn Monroe!      

Miss Monroe sings on pitch.

She used to sing "Old Black Magic" in the Mercer doc, but...well...someone on high thought it made her look like a bad singer. Same person who wanted to take out Audrey singing "Moon River".  Maybe he thought his offspring sang it better? To the director's credit, we got to keep Audrey. Oy...

Anyone with a lick of sense should know that Marilyn was singing "in character" with all the hopelessly pathetic toe-stabbing to change her own lighting. One of the most memorable scenes from ANY of her films.

Well, there's always Macy's. -Sometimes it's worth the craziness.

Welcome to our newest DR KevinH!

And I've been so tickled to see that our HHW managerie (pigs, chickens, and cows) have come out for the anniversary and to greet our new member.

[JoseSPiano]

DR MattH - Did you receive THIS version of the screener for "Up"?

[elmore3003]

I have to run down to Toyland this week. I can stop at Macy's on the way.

[Matt H.]

I got the rest of the DOWNHILL RACER bonus features watched and listened to (Michael Ritchie's audio-only seminar at the AFI was over an hour long).

[Cillaliz]

I want cake or cookies.  But I don't have any

[Matt H.]

DR MattH - Did you receive THIS version of the screener for "Up"?

No, but I wish I had. I know some kids who would love to have had that!

[Matt H.]

I went back to the DVR and skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Kyle and FIsh had an aborted date (rats!), but it was still an interesting episode.

[Matt H.]

I skimmed through today's ATWT, but there was nothing of interest and nothing in the previews either.

[Matt H.]

Next came last night's MAD MEN season finale. I love the set-up for next season. Should be a good one. They need to bring Sal back for the new agency! I was sure that's where they would go after they tried to get into the art department and had to break in.
