Dear DR Druxy,

Have you ever been to the Congress Street Bridge to watch the bats fly out at dusk?

I've driven across the bridge many times, but I've yet to watch the bats.

Lovely kitties, DR LAURA.

And DR DRUXY thanks for the Taina Elg photo.....she is still so lovely.  And sitting next to Ruth Buzzi must have made the time fly!

Ruth was great fun...and she lives in Texas.

Ruth Buzzi, the 3 "Bond" girls, Meredith Baxter & Michael Gross and David Hedison.

Actually, Jennifer Korbin, who was sitting on the other side of us, did well, too...but some of the guys who came up to her were really creepy.

I was disappointed that Taina and Shirley Knight didn't do better.

For those who watch THE AMAZING RACE who are your favorite teams so far?

I personally am thrilled that we have such strong all female teams. There are 3 that I think have a chance to do well. And I actually like all 3:

1.volleyball women
2.home shopping hosts
3.doctors

I don't know enough about them yet to know which will be my favorite. But I thought all 3 teams had potential.

I believe I'm up - and I believe I've been up since six-thirty.  Why is the question and I have no idea is the answer.

DR TCB - the direct to video TITANIC II seems to be one of the worst movies ever made.

I agree with several of the best performances choices already.  Certainly Ian McKellan in Amadeus, which was absolutely a brilliant tour de force the likes I've never seen.  I also saw Mr. Robards in Hughie and he was magnificent.  And Jennifer Holliday was incredible, too.  But I'd add to the musical list - Tammy Grimes in Molly Brown, Joel Grey in Stop the World, I Want to Get Off, Robert Morse in Sugar, William Daniels in 1776. Dorothy Collins in Follies.  For plays, I'd also add Hermione Gingold in Oh, Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad, Kendall Clark and Michaele Myers in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (the matinee tour cast), Tammy Grimes and Brian Bedford in Private Lives, Anthony Hopkins in Equus (a brilliant turn), Mary Louise Parker in Prelude to a Kiss and Communicating Doors, and Lily Tomlin in The Search for Intelligent Signs of Life in the Universe.

I enjoyed COCO BEFORE CHANEL, too. 

Then, I found out that she was a Nazi collaborator, so I sold my DVD on ebay.

Off to Toyland! First two stops: a locksmith to have keys made for the office and then the post office.

I took an instant dislike for the volleyball women--the way they so quickly labled the accapella boys as "Glee" and "Nerds" was a turn off.  But I agree with your other two picks as favs.  I've been curious for some time now how a diabetic would handle being in the race (though I wonder about that one blood sugar reading she took while driving the car--over 300?!?)  And I've liked the Home Shoppers Club woman since I first saw that watermelon clip a few weeks ago.

As for the rest of the teams--yeesh!  I'm surprised some of these people were able to find their way to the TAR auditions...

As for the Topic of the Day...

As for Actor in a Musical - Raúl Esparza as Georges/George in Sunday in the Park with George at the Kennedy Center. I also really liked his Charley Kringas in Merrily We Roll Along during the Sondheim Celebration.  OH! And, yes, his Bobby in Company. I practically crumbled during his "Being Alive".  -It's just too bad that the filmed version concentrated too much on close-ups instead of stage pictures.

As for Actress in a Musical - I'd have to go with Patti LuPone's Mama Rose in the recent revival of Gypsy too.  However, I found her more real and terrifying - and less-mannered - during her original run at City Center.  -Although, I have a feeling most of the tweaks that took place between City Center and the St. James were more the doing of Mr. Laurents than Ms. LuPone.

As for Actress in a Play - Lily Rabe in The Merchant of Venice this past summer in Shakespeare in the Park.

As for Actor in a Play - Hmmm... The only thing coming to my mind right now is the whole ensemble of The History Boys or Journey's End.

Greetings from Toyland! With my luck, I'll be in a tornado when I leave here around 2pm; things have gone too well thus far today: the new keys, when I tried them here, worked fine, and I learned from my accountant that my NY State tax bill is all paid off, so no more monthly deductions of $233 from my checking account.

I just heard from our DR TCB on his office email; his home computer has died.
