Echo and I walked this morning before it was too hot for her.

Since she is on the special diet and can't have treats at the nursing home we are staying put today. I need to finish reading the bio of John Adams anyway. While Echo was sick I had a tough time concentrating & now must push to finish the book for my discussion group on Tuesday.

Just popping my head in to go E&T for awhile. Time to head southward to the home of my very own mother, so as to partake of my very own grandmother's yummilicious Easter brunch tomorrow! I shall return tomorrow night!

BK - Why not set up a book signing in NYC. Barnes and Noble here have signings almost daily at their various branches. You should try for the one across from Lincoln Center. I think you'd have a great turnout. I'll do some of the baking.

Good afternoon DRs. I am hungry and trying to think of something I am able to eat. I'm craving Greek, so we'll see.

Interesting thing going on today at the mall. They were selling the chicks from the mall's easter farm for $5 today.

To me that seems like a really bad idea. Especially since i saw some 12-13ish kids buying them with no adults there.

It was sort of cute how they had them in boxes. But it sure was cold out today. I hope they all made it to their new homes safely.

Jane · « **Reply #69 on:** April 10, 2004, 02:06:17 PM »

I hate when they sell the chicks like that.

Jane · « **Reply #70 on:** April 10, 2004, 02:13:02 PM »

So Jennifer and George, are you still there?

Jane · « **Reply #71 on:** April 10, 2004, 02:14:36 PM »

Keith & I are talking to his mother. Come and entertain me. When I get off the phone I will have return to my book.

George · « **Reply #72 on:** April 10, 2004, 02:20:07 PM »

I'm barely here. I'm actually at work.

MY HOME COMPUTER IS STILL DEAD!!

My sister's boyfriend bought a new motherboard (when replacing the powersource didn't help) and it still has the same problem. You push the power button and nothing really happens (almost an Is There Life After High School? reference). I don't know what he's going to try next, but it (most unfortunately) is going to have to be fairly radical...in other worlds, more expensive.

As for the topic of the day, some of my most favorite 1970s movies are:

1776
Andromeda Strain
The Bad News Bears
Blazing Saddles
Cabaret
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (I've only seen the original version)
The First Nudie Musical
Goodbye Girl
The Muppet Movie
Paper Moon
Sleeper
Star Wars
Superman
Time After Time
What's Up, Doc?
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Young Frankenstein

As ususal, most have been mentioned by others, but these are the ones that I could think of.

Shame on me. I forgot to list "Death In Venice". Thanks MS for listing it. "Day For Night" should also be there.

George, good vibes to getting your computer woes taken care of soon.

Hi Tom.

Hi Tom.

Thanks, Jane. It's been almost two weeks now. $:-\$ The only thing that I'm really concerned about is e-mail...and on-line purchases. I have an eBay item that I just paid for and an amazon.com Gold Box item that I just bought. Even though the on-line e-mail access (I have Comcast) is supposed to be secure, I'll feel less uncomfortable when it's no longer available through the Internet and it's all on my computer.

You have a lovely wife. (Oh! A Janis Ian or Dusty Springfield reference!) And in A FLEA IN HER EAR, she doesn't look like Jennifer, but rather more like:

Back to my book.

I think that mall is in need of a visit from PETA. I don't even want to think of what is going to happen to those poor chicks.

What's Up Doc?

How could I forget it?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #80 on:** April 10, 2004, 03:02:22 PM »

I hope the signing is going like hotcakes...or rather the books are going like hotcakes.

Did anyone else enter the Penn and Teller picture caption contest?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #81 on:** April 10, 2004, 03:03:03 PM »

I love to see pictures of performers getting ready to go onstage.....they look so magical!!!

And a BIG hello to Dorothy!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #82 on:** April 10, 2004, 03:03:38 PM »

Off to Loving Lucy for the last Saturday night performance. Sold out...we close tomorrow. Seems like we just started rehearsals!

Matt H. · « **Reply #83 on:** April 10, 2004, 03:45:42 PM »

I can't believe I forgot SLEUTH and THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, both of which I really loved. Thanks for bringing up those names.

I think I made it sound worse than it was.

These weren't just random people selling the chicks. They were the people who take care of the easter animals. I'm sure they wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the chicks.

And they were giving them boxes to live in filled with food. And I hope they made sure the chicks would be taken care of before just handing them out.

How could I forget Women in Love, Little Big Man and Logan's Run.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #87 on:** April 10, 2004, 04:52:13 PM »

While The Lovely Wife and I give to many animal charities, I refuse to give to PETA. I find them abrasive, overwrought, offensive, and many of their tactics and claims suspect.

The reading and book signing was divoon. I shan't steal Dear BK's thunder and will let him tell you all about it and the minions of his fans who were present.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #89 on:** April 10, 2004, 04:55:15 PM »

BK's reading went great! Very witty and funny and well-read. I'm sure he will tell you all about it on his return.
