LOL, DR TCB!

Speaking of books, I am reading THEATER GEEK, the most wonderful book about Stage Door Manor, the staff, and soem of the kids attending the camp.

Little known fact - Mickey Rapkin, the author of the book, is the son of Leonard Rapkin who is the son of my Aunt Minnie and Uncle Rube - for those who've read my new book, you know I lived in Aunt Minnie's building in Flatbush back in 1969.  So, I suppose Mickey is my cousin.

Well, a gift for telling a story must gallop in your family! Your cousin's written a very fascinating companion to the film documentary on Stage Door Manor. I am really enjoying it.

Richard and I both just received text messages from Rob that said, "Got baby!"  As part of his paramedic training, he has to be present for 2 births.  He's been scheduling hospital times and being sent home because there were no deliveries imminent during those shifts.  He had an 8-hour shift today at a different hospital and that must have done the trick!

While browsing the book store today two other books were suggested though they didn't interest me as much as Every Man.  Has anyone read THE MAGICIANS or THE AMERICAN GIRL?

I haven't read either or these. But usually when someone posts a book here i go to amazon.com to check on it. Some of the comments on THE AMERICAN GIRL are rather interesting.

I also like to see the ratings. If a book has mostly 5s it's usually a good one.

I also found the range of comments interesting for both books.  I didn't the number ratings.  Are you going to read American Girl now?

TOD:
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

I saw this in the news-pretty cool!

I'm not sure. I'm definitely not going to read it right now, since my library doesn't have it. And I have 3 books now and am on a list for about 6 others.

There was something one reviewer wrote which sort of turned me off (saying how it was confusing).

[Jennifer]

I was so excited when I saw my mail and there was a big box waiting. I was sure it was my hoopnotica, since it was mailed on saturday and I was not expecting any other boxes.

But it wasn't.

It is supposed to arrive tomorrow. So i guess I will have it tomorrow or wednesday. I am so excited to try this. I hope i'm able to do it. Luckily there is a 1 hour dvd to show me some movies.

A few of the reviews also discouraged me away.  The woman who owns the wonderful book shop in town loved it.

Will there be a video of you dancing with your hoopnotica?

Sounds like Leonard was your first cousin, and Mickey would be your first cousin once removed.

Damn! damn!! damn!!! I've got to pull out of my ass $768 for taxes on that damned property in Ohio by Monday. I am not amused.

I had to wonder what this was, so I Googled.

Heck!  It's Hula Hoop!!!

I was doing those moves like every other kid in America back in the 60s!!  You won't have any trouble doing it, I don't think.  Of course, the ladies in the videos make it look like a rhythmic sport, so there's some finessing to it...but it's fun and it's challenging.   When you get bored with one hoop, you move on to two, and then three, etc.

[Jane]

We have a hoola hoop in our garage I haven't used in awhile.  If we weren't having company over the weekend I would risk hurting my back to play with it.

What is the Stage Door Manor?  Is that where Katherine Hepburn lived in the movie?

[TCB]

Except for the very painful arthritis in my hands and feet, I feel almost normal.  Well, as normal as I can feel.

[Ben]

This is

Stage Door Manor

[Ben]

Sorry to hear about the pain TCB

[TCB]

It took quite a long time for the clouds to burn off today, but has now turned into a very pleasant 70 degree day. 

[elmore3003]

This is

Stage Door Manor

Besides the new book, there have been a fictional movie and a wonderful documentary made about the camp.

[TCB]

Sorry to hear about the pain TCB

This is

Stage Door Manor

Thanks Ben.  Why couldn't they have had something like that around here when I was growing up?  Also, why couldn't Tacoma have had a high school of perfroming arts when I was 15 / 16?

[TCB]

It is supposed to be back in the 80's tomorrow.

Probably what you had flared up the arthritis.  VIBES!!!

Do you usually like the books that she recommends?

Oh no!  But I've seen people doing it and it seems very sensual.

Either that or old age.  Thanks, Jane.

re: the hoopnotica.

I have not tried it yet. But from what i've seen it is not really like a hula hoop. It is weighted inside the hoop. So you can swing it on your hips or move it in the air above your head.  It looks exactly like a hula hoop. But it is very rhythmical.

I am gonna try it outside tomorrow (if I get it tomorrow).  From what i saw you put your right foot out and you move your body forward and backward not round and round like you would with a regular hoop.

One reason i wanted it is because it is supposed to be very good for your waist. I think if my waist was an inch or two smaller i could fit into all my smaller clothes.
