Well, you've read the notes, the notes led the way, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently leading the way to who knows where.

BK,

You commented that She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named's Avatar reminds you of Edith head - Well it should: it is the image of Edna Mode from the Animated Film "The Incredibles" which was intended to be a caricature of Head.

It is the holiday season and it is important to share... I am sure the others would agree

Ben and Ant are wonderful hosts! I hope they had the yule log on the TV!

You're no small shakes yourself sister!

Yes, we had the Yule Log and festive holiday music including Charlie Brown and Leroy Anderson. It was quite festive.

DR Ben - So... How early do you think you'll be finishing tomorrow? I really was hoping to make it down there last week, but, as I alluded to earlier, I've been in research mode the past couple of days. In any case...

I really do admire the work that you and Ant and the rest of the volunteers do around this time of the year. On behalf of some of my friends past and present who benefit from your generosity, "Thank You".

We begin around 10am and will probably be done sometime around 1:30 or 2pm. If you can make it, great, if not, unfortunately, there is always next next year.

One of our dear friends, who is a client of Actors Fund, receives a bag every year and he always tells us how much it means to him to receive the contents. It makes the whole time worthwhile.

And again, a big thank you to Kevin for jumping in yesterday as a newbie and emerging as a Hero member, even if his numbers don't show it yet.

Tuesday morning greetings! I'm up early today to get some puttering done here at home before going out to help Mom pick out the new carpet they're going to install in her home-to-be. She's color blind and has always depended on others to help with big color decisions. We'll also take the measurements of her furniture along and try to get some idea of what will go where.

Good morning, all! Today, after the move to a new law firm, this is my first day back to the McGlinnventory in some time. We're now at Park Avenue and 23rd Street, which means a subway to 23rd and a crosstown bus from Seventh Avenue to Park. Following that, I need to stop at Toyland at 6th and 27th to pick up a book from my desk, and then I am off to MTI at 54th and 10th to drop off the remainder of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA score.

I'm currently proofing the Moross score to RACHEL RACHEL, which I hope to finish today or tomorrow, and then I move back to his Civil War show, GENTLEMEN BE SEATED. I need to win the lottery big time so I can do recordings of this show and THE GOLDEN APPLE. He's too good a composer to be unperformed or unlistened.

TOD:

I'd love to have a Winston Churchill autograph. I think he was the greatest man of the 20th century.

I do, however, have a Simon Wiesentahal, who I greatly admire.

Among my many most cherished show biz signatures are autographed lobby cards of Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Orson Welles, Clark Gable, Randolph Scott, Ronald Reagan, John Garfield, a LC from STAGE DOOR signed by Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball, a LC from KISS ME KATE signed by Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson, Ann Miller and Tommy Rall, etc.

I also have some sheet music, signed by George M. Cohan, Al Jolson, Fred Astaire, Maurice Chevalier, etc.

On this date in 1973 (mind you, not 1873) the American Psychiatric Association caused great controversy by declaring that "homosexuality does not meet the criteria for being a psychiatric disorder" and quit classifying it as a mental illness.

>>>haven’t had that in a while, but whilst we were having fun, one “person” had to show up and do her business. And that’s all I’ll say, because she obviously gets off on having the attention.

Hi, Bruce!

Not at all. If a "certain person" hadn't mentioned my name here, I wouldn't have had to post anything. You dont' want me to post here, don't mention my name here.

As for getting off on the attention -- pot, kettle, black.

I mean, come on.... someone starts putting signed postcards in books and all of a sudden it's your idea? And you want them to tell every single person who buys such a book that it was the idea of the great Bruce Kimmel? It is to laugh!

Couple of days ago you posted that YouTUbe URL to the Brain. Not enough people waxed rhapsodic about it...so you post it the next day! Then people realize you're a bit ticked off, and t hey rush in to say good things about it...

Not enough people wax rhapsodic about your new CD...so you complain about it and then of course your friends wag their heads ruefully and say, Jeez, he's off again, I'd better go praise it.

Heck, I'm sure the CD is just great...but do you really think anyone would have the nerve to say otherwise?

You and your pecedillos are well known, and thought of fondly, I"m sure.

I did a LOT of autograph collecting back in the early 1990s...and of course, continue to do so whenever I am able to attend the Hollywood Collectors show in Burbank.

Among my most favorite autographs are Dorothy Neumann, June Kenney, Pamela Duncan, Penny Singleton, and Gordon Mitchell. Actually all of my in-person autographs mean a great deal to me. One of these days I will scan them and show them off.

Good morning!

It was very mild this morning, and I actually could have done my walk without a sweatshirt. Very odd for the middle of December. It's foggy and a trifle misty here, too.

Unless something pressing arrives in the mail, I shall have today off. With only one disc in the review stack (8 1/2 on Blu-ray) and it's not coming out until January 12th, I feel I can wait a bit to tackle it.

I am invited to my friend Jeff's house for dinner tonight. He and his boy friend are arranging an "introduction," not something I asked for, believe me, but it should be a pleasant evening, and if I make a new friend at the end of it, so much the better.

Matt H. · « **Reply #28 on:** December 15, 2009, 07:03:06 AM »

I have a script from the first season of LAW & ORDER: SVU which is signed by all of the cast regulars then (which means Dean Winters' name is there but Ice-T is not, thank goodness).

I've got Patty Duke's signature around here somewhere, done when she was doing her television series (I was a big fan).

And lots of Playbills with signatures - Ann Miller in MAME and Brian Stokes Mitchell in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN come to mind immediately.
