Re: yesterday's question about Mary McDonnell's character on THE CLOSER, yes, we will be seeing much more of her this season. She kind of annoys me but other folks seem to like her a lot, so I was just curious.

CLOSER will be back July 2nd.

A Canadian chef tried to set a new world record earlier this month by grilling up what he hopes is the world's largest hamburger, the Toronto Sun reported.

Barbecue master Ted Reader created the 590-pound behemoth burger in downtown Toronto, using enough meat to make 2,360 quarter pounders.

Reader spent six hours sizzling up the 300-plus pound beef patty, which was then tucked into a 105-pound bun and topped with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, red onions, pickles and barbecue sauce, the Sun reported.

Been dealing with that Kritzerland annoyance fellow - he tried to cause major trouble today and, as always, fell on his ASS, which is easy to do when you ARE and big ASS. I had to think about writing him to make a little legal threat, but as someone told me, get in the mud with pigs and you become a pig. Happily, everyone with whom he tried to cause us and others trouble, hate him and know he's psychotic.

No way, her intentions are good even if I don't agree with them. I think that is why I like her.

More than a film about sports, this is a story of immigration, assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions, and the shattering of stereotypes.
...
Fans including Ron Howard and Larry King connect the stories of baseball to their own lives, and to the turbulent history of the last century. Their stories are inter-cut with dramatic and never-before-seen film clips and photos of great Jewish players, unforgettable games, and the broad sweep of American history.

Well, they made a hit musical of RAGTIME,....so.....

JEWS AND BASEBALL. I guess it says it all. Not as clever as some titles that were suggested, but I guess we will live with it.

I type JEWS AND BASEBALL and suddenly I am talking like an old Jew. Or maybe a middle-aged Norwegian.

Well, I started listening to the "Finian's Rainbow" recording, and you're right, DR Elmore, I probably don't know your contributions, but there is so much more music on this recording that I fell in love with it all over again. Burton Lane was such a great composer, and this score has it all. Plus, the singers are wonderful. I hope to finish it tomorrow when I get to work.

I was thinking about the first time I encountered this show: It was in freshman Latin class in high school, of all places. Don't know why but we saw the movie in installments every day for a week. But the music was great then, it's great now and I'm sure it was great to be a part of it.

'He doesn't even have a passport!" says Simbulon.

Late last night the attorney representing the American simian suspect in the heist earlier this week of almost five millions dollars worth of art work from the Paris Museum of Modern Art said that his client does not even have a passport, nor can he lift anything weighing more than 2 grams.

Yesterday, I was down at Big Lots and I picked up (for $5) this 4-DVD set, THE UNKNOWN COLLECTION.

It has PBS documentaries on Jimmy Durante, Jonathan Winters, the Marx Brothers & Peter Sellers.

I watched the Durante one, and it's terrific; contains many, many clips from his 1950s TV show with guests like Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Donald O'Connor, Sophie Tucker, etc. If you love Durante, as I do, you will want to see this one.

I still remember watching Jimmy Durante whenI was a little girl - did we ever find out who Mrs. Callahan was?

DR Elmore, what kind of books are you sending to Miami U?

I'm cleaning out and paring down my library. The only things not going are music, books on musical theatre, opera, ballet, all composers, some novels, and others. They've received so far over 100 cartons from me of all my librettos and scripts, play collections, books scene and costume design, novels, a lot of books on folklore, a lot of signed editions from Ethan Mordden, Sondheim, and other writers I've known, artists and art, a ton of published sheet music, scores, my contracts, programs and Playbills, correspondence including all Sondheim letters, photos, all my editorial work and other ephemera, choral arrangements, several shows I've done regionally, compact discs, some videos and DVDs. This round, which is now in 16 cartons. includes all the editorial work on the 1903 WIZARD OF OZ and all my materials, invoices and contract for FINIAN's RAINBOW.

How did you come yo pick this school for your collection? Are they keeping all your things together as a collection?

Yesterday on my bike ride i saw the cutest thing. There were 2 geese on the grass across from the lake. And they had a whole bunch of babies with them (that looked like baby ducks but i guess were baby geese). It would have been cute to see them in the lake. But it was just that much sweeter to see them all taking a walk!

We have these all over teh place here on Long Island = the Canadian geese have stopped migrating and just live here year round - they make mess of the playgrounds and schoolyards -
