Oy, I just Googled the owner's name and it turns out he was involved in a really messy and well publicized lawsuit involving a Portland Police offcier.  Embezzlement, theft, all sorts of scary stuff.  And that's just the police officer.  :)

Maybe you're buying the West Coast Amityville Horror?

I just read that the USA network has renewed PSYCH and BURN NOTICE for another season each. Great news! (I would have been shocked if BURN NOTICE hadn't been renewed. Week in and week out, it was USA's most popular show this summer.)

Hoo and Ray!  I love "Psych"!!

Congrats on the Finian's Rainbow recording. Perhaps it will be a "compete" recording.

I see that Home Theater Forum is looking for reviewers. Do you have any interest in writing for them? I think you won't tow the company line and will be a kick in the pants that they need. I hardly ever read a review that isn't glowing. I know you will tell the truth.

They're not interested in me to post there, let alone review for them.  I wouldn't want to anyway, and no, I would never toe the company line and would always tell it like it is - just as I did when I posted there.  Robert Harris has been trying to get me reinstated there because he knows I'm good for the place, but to no avail so far, which is a little shocking.

Well, I'm off.  I'm meeting a friend for dinner at Applebee's, so I must be going.

Until later!

I had a very unusual set of programs on the viewing schedule tonight.

I began with SUMMER STOCK. I hadn't watched it in a while, and it was good to see it again. It's a quite wonderful SD transfer, and it's a very entertaining movie.

Next I plucked PLANET EARTH off the shelf and watched "Jungles" which, like all of those episodes, is quite fascinating. And the HD is simply breathtaking.

I finished watching the rest of AS THE WORLD TURNS. Noah became a little more agreeable, but that may have simply been to get with the mood of the holiday episode and that the next time we see him, he'll be an ass again. We'll see.

And I concluded the evening with tonight's GLEE. I still hate the fake pregnancy storyline, but thankfully, there were enough numbers in the episode to wash partially the bitter thoughts of that subplot out of my brain. And "True Colors" was a lovely way to finish the episode.

I'm trying to watch a motion picture on Blu and Ray but I keep dozing off - what an exhausting day.  I still have to drive packages over to the post office, too.

REALLY Bad News:  just did a check, and there is no DSL or other high speed internet available out there.

Which means I may have to stop posting on HHW.

Which is really GOOD news for all of you.  :)

What about through Direct tv or other satellite

I'm going to tidy up a few things on the computer desktop and then head downstairs to bed.

Good night!

I read the reviews of the films that I am interested in and of course yours. I have been disappointed in some of the dvds I have gotten after reading the reviews

Well, my sister and her husband arrived from Michigan this afternoon and are all tucked in at Mom's.  Their daughter has arrived from Illinois and is making herself comfortable in our guest room.  So, I guess tomorrow really is Thanksgiving and we're havin' a party!

Richard and I will put the turkey in the oven in time for me to see the hour of Broadway performances that precedes the Macy's parade.  Then, Laura (my niece) and I will get the table ready and I'll put green beans & ham on to simmer.

I think I better go to bed now - 'night!

So, I'm catching up on CD listening.  Tomorrow I go back to every day jogging - I think I've put on about eight pounds in the last two weeks - not from overeating or anything, but from complete lack of exercise four or five days a week.  I will remove the eight pounds within two weeks, in time for my birthday.

He sure as heck didn't read mine, LOL.  (Neither did TCB).  ;)

Extremely disturbing news--just as my realtor was leaving with signed papers yesterday, we heard an ambulance and then a firetruck, which zoomed down my street and stopped at my neighbor's.  We soon heard she was dead.  She had a beautiful Golden Retriever named Bodhi.  Betsy knew her quite well because she was a Public Defender and Betsy was Exec Dir of Oregon Women Lawyers for a few years.  We had heard rumblings about this almost immediately, but today the police presence just exploded, and the entire scene is now cordoned off as a crime scene and this article has just popped up on the online Oregonian:

Oh wow, she was an Asst Federal Defender.  I didn't know her, but may have met her during my years as an FPD. We had annual seminars just for FPDs. I know a lot of them by sight but not by name

No, this is where we live now, the house you've been to.  A beautiful, quiet, well to do neighborhood.  We're a little freaked out, actually.

In fact I think we talked about her and the other FPD who lives on the other side of our house when you were here, Pat Ehlers.  It seems to me you thought you knew him.

i do remember that. You live in a very nice quiet area. One of the news reports said it's a homocide.  That's really got to be creepy. Make sure you lock your doors!

We do keep our doors locked most of the time, though Betsy is pretty lax.  I have been snarking about it for years, but I think this might be enough to convince her.
