Hello from Aladdin Jr. rehearsal.  The joy of doing a a "Jr" show is the use of show tracks, which are really great, is that I get to check in at HHW on occasion.  Nothing to report.  I'm loving the show and the kids.  But that's all for now.

One of the oddest things I've encountered on the internet over the past 15 years is the discussions that go on in the various forums at Amazon.com...particularly, the "Gold Box" forum.

Are these discussions about Gold Box items?  One or two are.  Right now, there's a blazing hot discussion going on about how many times people use a towel or wash cloth before laundering them.

Some use them only once and must wash them before a new usage.

Others use one for a few days,  or a week, before changing out for a fresh towel.

Lots of snark going on, too.

Reminded me of olden days here!!!   ;)

I should twist Kerry's arm and see if he will come.

We are home!

DR Elmore - it took us about 3.5 hours, a little longer than it should have.  We started out thinking we'd take a back road instead of the interstate to avoid Columbus rush hour.  Our patience with that lasted about half an hour...

Did anyone catch the new series COVERT AFFAIRS this week? I was quite surprised to find that I really liked it. Most of this was due to the lead actress, who I had never heard of before.

Last night I watched PAT & MIKE.  This is my favorite Tracy and Hepburn movie.  If only ADAM'S RIB and WOMAN OF THE YEAR were as brisk and breezy (and David Wayne-less.)
Granted, David Wayne could be a bit hard to take in large doses, but I loved the performance he turned in on "St. Elsewhere," as a friend of Auschlander's (Norman Lloyd).

I also loved David Wayne in the Richard Lester comedy FINDERS KEEPERS.

I am back from seeing THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, a wonderful movie with a fantastic cast! DR MBarnum would like the gay porn clips in it and DR JMK would like the lesbians. I liked it all very much.

Oy, what a day of driving!  We were in near-tornado weather this morning in Wisconsin, with skies as dark as evening (absolutely no exaggeration) at 10 o'clock this morning and rain so blinding we were seriously considering just stopping by the side of the road.  We had several more torrential downpours through the day but never again saw that level of darkness.  We're in semi-lovely Fergus Falls, MN, and seem to be past the hard part, plus we're on interstate for the rest of the way home, which should help expedite things.

Did I mention Zach vomited on the ground (actually in a plastic bag Betsy luckily had along) this morning?  And that was before the tornadic activity.

No but I pulled up a review of it and sent it to Keith.  If he is interested I'll record it next week.  We watched White Collar and enjoyed Tim Matheson in front of and behind the camera.  I wonder if he will also be directing the 2nd episode of Covert Affairs.

DR TCB-I read yesterday's discussion and saw that you asked whether I had seen Brent in Phantom.  Yes, I think I saw him 6 times in the 2 years he was in the show.   He was really great, as several people have said!

On my last visit, he was actually nice enough to pose for a picture with me while he was wearing his mask.

I got a nice email from Rebecca Luker today; she's been cast in an episode of THE GOOD WIFE. I am very happy for her.

DR JRand59, I see Liz and Ann Hampton Callaway are performing in Indianapolis on Sept 18.

Today we had a couple of younger folks join us :)  Sisters of semi regular hikers.  One from Sherman Oaks and the other from New York, or was from NY.  She just moved one stop down into Brooklyn.

I forgot to mention that yesterday I went to google maps and typed in the address of where I lived in Flatbush in 1969 - since you can see an actual picture view of the street I'm happy to say the building is still there.  I also saw my Newkirk subway stop and what used to be the neighborhood candy store - pizza place seems to be gone.  Then I looked at Flatbush Ave. - all the movie theaters are, of course, long gone - but several of those buildings are still there, including the Albermarle, where I worked - they're churches now.

He is the nicest man.  He got the entire cast of PHANTOM to sign a poster for me.
