The dirndl dresses of the late 60s are adorable - not like the traditional - short (just above the knees, with a high waist.  I know because I bought one as research and Miss Juliana Hansen modeled it for me.

I'm up, I've announced, and would love to go back to sleep but won't, because CDs and helper will be here very soon.

I won't say that I hated it.  There were parts I liked. I did absolutely hate that they veered from realty and killed Joe. I thought that was awful.

I am so sad that the series is over.

RE: the series finale, I liked how Joe waited for her. That was so sweet and made me cry. I liked the final credits where everybody came out. BUT I HATED that they killed Joe. What was up with that? Especially since the real Joe Dubois is alive.

I didn’t hate that they went forward in time 7 years. But I did hate that we didn’t get to say goodbye to Bridget. And I hated that all that was a dream that Joe sent to her.

If they really wanted to kill Joe (which I wouldn’t like no matter what) then why not have Allison be a lawyer and have Joe be her ghost sidekick. That at least could have been interesting.

The very end left me with a good feeling. But the rest of the show not so much.

IT is freezing here today. I am afraid to check the temps. I know last night they said it would be -31C but that is without windchill.  Brrrr.

Yes, it was a strange way to end a show based upon an actual, living person and her still-living family.

But then...perhaps they didn't want to leave any questions open about whether there might be made-for-TV movies continuing the story. (?)

After seeing the real Allison on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS in all her ugly glory, I'd say the series and the real woman have as much in common as I do with Rudyard Kipling.

Busy, busy weekend. Had people over last night for the first time in ages, so I really did have to clean the house, at least a superficial cleaning. I need to start on a medium cleaning and work up to the deep one.

But the evening was fun. People ate the pulled pork I made plus everything else that they brought to go with it. I made a fire in the fireplace and that made the evening warm and cozy.

TOD: I clean up real good, I'm told, but my favorite clothes are a worn pair of jeans and a T-shirt or pullover. Actually, a pair of shorts (not those midi-length horrors that pass for shorts nowadays) or a bathing suit for the beach and a T-shirt I like even better.

Off to Lincoln Center. I don't like the opening time change to noon. When they moved it to 11am, it was bad enough. I want to get in at 10 or 10:30 at the latest and be finished by 2.

DR Ron, regarding MEDIUM we felt there could have been more of the final scene and less of the rest of the show-lol.

Congrats on keeping your weight down.

We saw Antonia yesterday in the Riverdale Childrens Theatre production of The Wizard of Oz. She was wonderful. As with all CT productions it had ups and downs but overall the production was lots of fun and very inventive in terms of sets and effects and, as I mentioned, our own Dear Antonia was great!

It was 4 degrees in the South of Jersey when I left my warm home this morning.  But now that's I've traveled west to a warmer climate in Conshohocken, it's way up to 9. 

I'm hoping that by 11:30 it will have warmed up a bit to 60 degrees so I can walk to Lincoln Center.

Umm... ::)

A dirndl dress is as redundant as an egg omelette, no matter what the eBay lister says.

For anyone who may have missed it in last night's forum posts:

I've watched "The Uninvited" (Paramount, 1944) with Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, and Gail Russell about three times this weekend.  Recorded it, again, off TCM...this time onto a new HDD-DVD recorder.

If anyone out there wants a DVD-R, leave me a private message and a mailing address.  I still have it on my HDD and it takes only a couple of minutes to burn a copy.

Thank you for the offer.  While it is one of my favorite films it airs often enough.  Recently Keith saw it for the first time.
