DR Julie - Yes, we must set up a time to meet up.  *Oh, and I also have a copy of "The First Nudie Musical" for your borrowing if need be.

DR Ben - Just a heads up: I have a more-than-sneaking suspicion you may be seeing me next week on the second floor of the Equity building. :)

In other news...

I need to make a run down to Columbus Circle to drop off some music, and then I think I'm gonna head back up here and take a brief nap before heading back down to Carnegie Hall for tonight's concert by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.  At least that is the plan for now.

WHITE CHRISTMAS is coming on AMC-HD tonight. I have no intention of sitting through it with all those commercials, but I am interested to see if the print they're showing is different from the dark, dirty one we have on DVD presently.

I began my viewing today with the last episode of disc 3 of SUPERNATURAL, Season Four in Blu-ray. This was the brilliant episode where Sam and Dean find out that their lives are actually being written in book form as they live. It was really from this point on that the writing for SUPERNATURAL has really taken off and reached heights of imagination only touched on in previous seasons. From this point on, every week is almost always something completely new and unexpected.

Next, I watched last night's UGLY BETTY. Excellent episode, and when Grant Bowler emerged from the Caribbean (even more than Daniel Craig in CASINO ROYALE), it just took my breath away. That man is a GOD!

Next I watched WHITE COLLAR. Yes, a very entertaining episode and a nice set-up of surprise for the back half of the season coming in January.

A very quiet Saturday afternoon on the internet, so I'm going to head down and see what fun things I can find to watch.

The snow has begun but I don't think it will stick. It's too wet from this morning/afternoon rain.

Today is cloudy and cold (for Arizona). I spent the morning with a couple of young men from the church working on a butterfly habitat at the river. Then we had pizza for lunch.

That is all.

Back from the book fair - only thirty-seven dealers, but for some reason I had more fun today than I've had in the last few years there.  I only actually knew two dealers, but I found a couple of inexpensive things that I snapped up - best one, a book about the evils of communism by J. Edgar Hoover, warmly inscribed by him to Jimmy Durante.  How could I pass THAT up?

Then I picked up a couple of packages and headed home.  A little history before I continue:  Driving in my neighborhood is sometimes amazing - lots of entitled show business idiots and their entitled children.  So, occasionally one will drive and you'll see these idiot parents waving frantically at you to slow down.  Now, reality: The speed limit in my neighborhood is 35mph.  When they frantically wave their entitled arms as if you're a crazed, drunk out of control driver, I've had occasion to look at my speedometer and usually I'm going about twenty, sometimes less if I'm approaching a street I have to turn on.  This angers me quite a lot and today it sent me over the edge when some ASS started doing that to me and screaming slow down - I looked at my speedometer - I was going 16mph.  I slammed on my brakes and got out of the car and started screaming back at him.  He screamed "THERE ARE KIDS HERE!!!"  I looked around - since he was the only one on the street for five blocks I screamed back, "OH YEAH, WHERE?"  He screamed "JUST SLOW DOWN!"  I screamed, "YOU MEAN SLOWER THAN SIXTEEN MILES AN HOUR YOU STUPID PECKERHEAD?"  When he saw that he'd lost THAT one, he immediately screamed, "YOU RAN THAT STOP SIGN."  I screamed, "I AM SO TIRED OF YOU IDIOTS WAVING AT PEOPLE AS IF THEY WERE NAZIS - NO ONE RAN A STOP SIGN."  I really thought we might come to fisticuffs, and it takes a lot to get me to that point.  He called me a few names and I returned the fire, and then flipped him off, got in my car, and came home - going twenty miles per hour, as I always do.  I now think I will drive the speed limit of 35mph whenever I pass this buttwipes house.

OH... As DR Ben just mentioned, it has started snowing here in New York City. It's a very wet snow, but snow nonetheless.

Yep! Someone was definitely doing some crunches and bicep curls right before the cameras started rolling.  And before then too! ::)

I have returned from my sister's surprise retirement party.  And my brother-in-law managed to pull it off as a complete surprise.

After the party, since I was only two miles away, I went to the memorial for the four fallen police officers.  It was unbelievable.  It reminded me of what the memorail for Princess Diana must have looked like.  A sea of candles, balloons, flowers, and cards.  Very moving.

TOD

Don't remember the actor or the role's name, but it was in the stage musical version of Goodbye Girl.  But the character was obviously based on RIchard Simmons and it literally had be laughing so hard it hurt and the rest of the audience felt the same way.
