Elmore, I'm so glad your recording session went well!!

[Sam]

Spent Friday afternoon at Kaiser for my 3 year physical.   I did not eat or drink anything (except water) for 18 hours for the blood tests, and I felt great.    So, now I am convinced that FOOD is the root of all my health problems.   Don't eat/weigh less/feel better.   Doctor agreed, she looked at the list of complaints I had (a long list) and said almost all would go away by being 40 lbs lighter, walking 2 hours every other day, and changing my diet drastically.

I have 3 weeks of meds to repair my stomach, and then just change my bad habits.  

LIFE IS GOOD

[Sam]

Better get back to life.  Watched American Splendor this morning.  Boy is that my kind of movie.

I think the Kiru stayed open for a couple of years after my father was gone - but around 1967, I think.

Hmm, I thought it was later that Keith began joining me sometimes to meet my father for lunch.  We were engaged so it could have been '67.

You don't remember any other nice restaurants in the area?

[Jane]

DR Sam, good luck changing your eating & exercise habits!!!  VIBES YOU SOON FEEL GREAT ALL THE TIME!

Going out to get some fruit now.

Looks like a nice dust storm is heading our way. Hopefully with some rain following!

We are back from Middfest, which I think has "jumped the shark."  In its glory days, I used to declare our kitchen CLOSED for the weekend because there were so many wonderful choices available from all the food vendors.  This year there were only about 3 or 4 booths selling actual food, most of which I could not eat.  Many of the artifacts from Botswana intended for the various displays did not arrive on time and the University of Chicago sent multiple copies of a book about medieval women writers instead of Dr. Parson's book about how Botswana achieved independence.  And, after a summer of drought, it rained all day today, forcing the dance and music performances inside to a small space in the city building lobby.

What did go right was the history project which brought in several informative and engaging speakers and the basket weaver who conversed with the audience, through an interpreter, and demonstrated her craft.  The literature project also did a nice job building a replica of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency/Speedy Motors building and populating it with very good actors who interacted with visitors as the 4 main characters.

We stopped and picked up Chinese carry-out on the way home.

Sorry to hear that. I loved Middfest the year that I lived in Middletown. Japan was the country that year and I think it was probably the first time I had sushi.

Just sent off my first "webisode" to the Vampire Diaries web director to get his comments so I can revise it before sending it to the network. It's too long and I want to let him chose what to cut; don't want to cut any bits that he liked!

Life is good, and I sincerely hope this works for you. I could stand to lose a few pounds myself. Let us know how everything is progressing.

[John G.]

and off I go...

Good to hear from you.

While I was uploading that I had time to buy tickets to the PeeWee Herman show (by waiting, some better seats became available!) and find a hotel. My mom has been worried about bedbugs and this hotel is only one of 3 in NY that is certified bedbug free. It was cheaper than the Edison, which was sold out anyway, so it will be nice to try out a new NY hotel: http://www.distrikthotel.com/
It seems to have very good ratings!

So...I just spent @3K and haven't even gotten our plane tickets yet. I guess this is the most I've ever spent to go to a movie--one I've already seen! :-)

[John G.]

That pie looked heavenly, John G.

Here's a link to the recipe:

I bought a copy of that recently at Big Lots for the grand total of $3. I haven't watched it yet, but I remember loving it when it came out. Am watching Paul Giamatti in "The Last Station" right now. Great Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer, too.

TOD:

When we lived in Seattle my dad would go salmon fishing and then can his catch. We didn't have much $$ so we had this salmon several times a week for dinner, plus salmon sandwiches for lunch. It was years before I could eat salmon again but now it's one of my favorites. I like pretty much all fish and shellfish, especially sushi. The only things I can't deal with are sea urchin, raw oysters and salmon eggs (we used to fish with them!).

[Edisaurus]

If we can expand the TOD to shellfish, my favorite is lobster.

[Edisaurus]

Most memorable seafood meal: Clint Eastwood's CHANGELING premiere at Nobu. That was the only good fringe benefit of working on the Johnny Mercer project with him.

[Edisaurus]

When I was 10, we lived in Maryland and the VA used to have these crab picnics in the park. They would boil up pots of crabs, lay newspapers on the tables and give everyone hammers and picks. No butter necessary! I had never eaten such a messy meal where everyone ate with such abandon. It was very memorable!

[Edisaurus]

In the 80's, my 2 best friends and I went to the private island of St. Catherine's, off the coast of Georgia. A friend of ours was doing an archeology project there. It's a unique place full of endangered species. Ring-tailed lemurs run wild there...so cute!

While there, we would put out crab pots in the morning and pull them in at night and boil the crabs. So delicious!

[vixmom]

TOD - we live on an Island and my dad had a boat when I was growing up.  He also gotput of work at 4:15 and we lived  1 mile from his office - so in the summer we would be on the water by 5  Pm just about every day - on the weekdns we would goout early - we would goout at night to net up crabs

(you shine a flash light on the water and then scoop them up in a net as they swim by

we would clam with our toes -- (stand in water up to our shoulders and wiggle our toes in the sand until we felt a shell, then dive under and scoop them up) we'd get scallops occassionally too

We would go fishing all of the time, flounder, blowfish, snappers and bluefish were the usaul catch , with an occassional eel,


I don't actually eat fish  though

[Edisaurus]

I also like AMERICAN SPLENDOR!

[Jrand73]

Crab Picnic!

Sounds like a Pig Cabaret!

[vixmom]

I will eat canned tuna as long as its starkist light tuna packed in water

[Jrand73]

Congrats to DR ELMORE on his fine recording session.

What was Zach wearing?

[Jrand73]

DR PENNYO the website of whoever sponsored/nominated people for that award should have information.

[vixmom]

[Jrand73]

Cooler this evening which is nice.  I guess autumn is really here to stay.
