Topic of the Day:  I think the only John Wayne movies that I've seen all the way through are Hatari!, The Quiet Man and True Grit...and I liked all three very much!

I don't think I've ever seen a John Wayne movie.  But I've seen Nathan Lane's impression of John Wayne in Birdcage!          :D

Good morning, all! I see that JohnG stoped by for a second. I can only tell you that I've known him since 1985, when he worked for my hometown newspaper, and he moves around: in 1990 or so, when I was doing a show at Cohoes Music Hall titled ANGELINA, he showed up. I had forgotten that and he reminded me. Anythng else about himself he has to tell you all.

Speaking of Cohoes Music Hall, which is a beautiful little theatre, the town of Cohoes was the most haunted area I have ever stayed in. The whole town exuded an aura of dead spirits walking about, and, because it seemed to close down at 6 pm, the walk from the theatre to my apartment was a long creepy walk past empty shops. The apartment I stayed in was so haunted that, on weekends when the cast went back to Manhattan and I stayed alone to work on the score, I kept the lights on all night and played the radio at full volume for company. The stage crew claimed the theatre was haunted as well. As towns go, Cohoes is an abandoned factory town that's really urban-depressed, but I have no urge to stay there ever again.

So, this morning, it's back to the McGlinnventory to prepsre for a move.

Cohoes publicity on Google tells me it's a "city!" I never would have guessed. In 1990 it was a real hole. It had a great pizza place, which was on the first floor of the apartment I stayed in.

John Wayne movies? THE SEARCHERS and MCCLINTOCK.

I don't have anything on tv tonight except for SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, which shows on my schedule as being on from 8:30pm-11pm. I know there is a presidential address listed. Not sure if it will end on time or if Fox will just cut out at 8:30pm.

A very guilty pleasure of mine is also on tonight. The finale on MTV of The Hills (although i don't get MTV so i will have to wait till tomorrow when it will be online). I don't know why, but i love this show!

It's the first day of the last month of the last year of the first decade of the century.

Just thought y'all might like to know that...
