JRand, be sure to watch MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM...one of my all time favorite movies...and some great songs, if you like 1940s swing music. The 3 Jazzy Belles are rather amusing, also, I think.

I will be sure to watch it, DRMBARNUM....right after OSS 117.

DR JMK the video segment for Methodist Idol was most amusing.....

TOD -  hmmm, I haven't seen very many plays.  I could probably list the few plays that I've seen and that might be my top 3.  However, I've seen some really bad plays.  Our Country's Good comes to mind.  Worst three + hours of my life!!

Does that mean I can't mark it RETURN TO SENDER and toss it back into a post box?

I agree there! Timberlake Wertenbaker turned a fantastic novel, THE PLAYMAKER, into a lot of tedious boredom.

REALLY???

However in reviving this story our theatrical challenge is to find something new to say.

Really - why not tell the story as originlly conceived - and tell it really well!

Elmore, you also have something  coming to you! And I mean that in the nicest way.

I am already terrified. So, DR MBarnum, has anyone received a change of address or do we send things to you c/o General Delivery, Oregon Penal System?

Mike, if you haven't noticed, I haven't sent the South Pacific and "High School Stories" DVDs yet, so I'd better get your new address, too. :)

But for everyone, the good news is that I'm getting the widescreen SP DVDs tonight!  Larry (my sister's boyfriend) made it and I'm sure that it'll look great...I'll make sure tonight.

I'm not sure you'll be able to see this, but this is the very funny (IMHO) video put together by the church I work for for our Fall Kick Off.  The music section starts about 2 1/2 minutes in.  A lot of the congregation are high-tech people at Intel and the like, as you can tell from the HD video.  :)

This is funny, Jeff!

I saw a great production of THE LION IN WINTER about three years ago at Theatre West in Los Angeles.

It starred Bridget Hanley and Jim Beaver.

The first play I ever saw was HARVEY with Joe E. Brown.  I was five-years old, and I can still remember several moments from that production.

What a day I am having. I decided last night that I really needed to get caught up on my bookwork at the office before the auditor from the state bar came through to audit my trust account.  I had a feeling....anyway this morning Edith and I were going through our cases.  We mentioned one case and in her walked.   We talked about another and she called.  Then I made the mistake of mentioning the auditor.  Yup, in he walked.   They do surprise audits on trust accounts.  Well, I am a bit behind on my books, so I told him that and asked to have until Monday.  He said that was fine and scheduled an appointment.  I'm not worried about it at all, but he really caught me off guard.    After this is over I am definitely going to hire an accountant.
