Well in the "don't count your broken eggs until you've counted your chickens" department (that's a department I just made up, by the way):

OUR OFFER WAS ACCEPTED!!! We were the top "bidder." So now the problems really start. Oy!

Congratulations to JMK!!

I guess the ultimate "stick-it-to-them" is brousing the local book store, noting desireable titles, then going home and ordering from Amazon.

"Brousing"? Is that related to DR Pogue's penchant for "colour" and "favour"?

No, it is the result of DAW trying to steal my "w" and breaking off a piece.

I guess that's where the "e" came from in "desireable" too.

Well, I think I'm going to advantage of the last hour of sunlight... Then come back here and clean the apartment. Yeah! That's the ticket!

Laters...

My all-time favorite movie is CASABLANCA, which I saw the first time in the early 1960s.

It was in a revival house and, truthfully, I didn't like it. [I'd heard so much about the picture and I think I was expecting more of an action movie.]

I saw it again on television a year or two later, and that's when I really began to appreciate its pleasures.

"Casablanca" is my dad's all-time favorite movie, also. When my niece was much younger (she's now 25 years old), she didn't like black and white movies (like so many children who never watch them). My dad said that she should watch it with him. They watched it together and he explained everything about the movie. They started watching old movies together on a regular basis and my niece eventually developed an appreciation for them. She eventually watched "Gone With the Wind" and fell in love with it and Vivien Leigh. She started getting many of Vivien Leigh's movies and even bought her autograph on eBay (with a "Certificate Of Authenticity"). When we went to London in 2001, we had to go to Waterloo Bridge and stand where Vivien's character was supposed to have been (I don't think the movie actually filmed there).

DR TCB you are very kind regarding DR Danise. You have had plenty of trials & tribulations yourself & should enjoy your trip without guilt.

I find it funny the ship would play the song, or show THE TITANIC.

Does the ship offer shuttle buses?

They did, but unfortunately they didn't float.

There is a beautiful yacht that is moored next to our ship. It is probably two hundred feet long. Music has been blaring out of that yacht, non-stop for the past three days. Apparently, Princess Stephanie is holding a charity event onboard.

DR MATTH , I think DR TCB's comment about re-release was a comment about my AGE and not GWTW.....

Congrats to DR JMK et.al on their soon to be new digs. Remember those wonderful words: Parents' wing.

Glad to hear all about DR TCB's travails....er travels in Monaco, but I am a bit surprised to hear about the Prince Albert.

Enjoy your dinner with the Hoi Polloi this evening, DR TCB, and remember if things get dull - a pie fight is always welcome!

Perhaps he heard too much about you and decided to stay out of your ~~clutches~~ way!

In addition to watching Michigan lose to Ohio State for the 6th year in a row

I've spent the afternoon helping Rob make mashed potatoes to take to his friends' Thanksgiving get-together in Cincinnati tonight.

There's a long road to hoe before this deal is finalized. We're quite concerned about the inspections since there have been so many sale fails. And then after the inspections we need to do the down and dirty negotiating. So it may still not come to pass. But I'm really happy we at least have a shot at it.

Congratulations, DR JMK. I'm sure you're going to be very happy with your new abode.

I had a most pleasant afternoon of viewing.

I began with two episodes of SUPERNATURAL from Season 4. Both of these had to do with a fallen angel who was trying to regain her "grace" while angels and demons were trying to claim her before she did that. An engrossing two episodes with a really good payoff at the end of the second episode.

Matt H. · « **Reply #110 on:** November 21, 2009, 01:34:29 PM »

Then I wacthed Thursday night's episode of SUPERNATURAL, the last new episode of the show until January 21st!

Excellent next appearance of Lucifer (in the person of Mark Pellegrino) with various entities trying to destroy him before the apocalypse. Very entertaining show. Always love seeing my Castiel in an episode.

Matt H. · « **Reply #111 on:** November 21, 2009, 01:36:09 PM »

Also watched last night's WHITE COLLAR. Pretty good show. The caper part was pretty good (how silly for Peter to be SO uptight about those French girls making passes at him. He's secure in his marriage, so why act like a 10 year-old about it. Ricidulous!)

Matt H. · « **Reply #112 on:** November 21, 2009, 01:36:53 PM »

I have the STAR TREK movie on Blu-ray ready to go when I go back downstairs. Really interested to see this reboot of the franchise. I did not see it in theaters.

That's interesting.

My dad was a very macho guy and yet his two favorite movies sound more like something I'd like: MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION (not the color remake) and NAUGHTY MARIETTA!

OK, afternoon surf is over, and now I'm heading down to watch first STAR TREK and then WANTED.

DR MATTH thanks for the suggestions about the cord. It is an optic cord less than a year old, but you never know.

I guess DR JMK that would depend upon whether you are using your hoe on a road or a row.

Joe Besser has set my teeth on edge since I was tiny tot and he played Stinky on The Abbott & Costello Show. The character was absurd - as was the show - but he stood out in his awfulness, as written.
