It has been awhile since I read the book.  I had not opened the link since I figured I wouldn't be getting anything.  I also forgot the Taggart, which by the way I think is cool with the train.

I thought that logo was cool too.   It's been awhile since I last read the book.  The first time I read Atlas Shrugged, my high school history teacher gave it to me and told me to read it.   I've always wondered why he did that.

Craig called and was very pleased to hear Yogi seems calm and is not crying or whimpering.  Time to let Kitty out of the spa ;)

Set your cell phone alarm, Ginny. It will automatically reset itself.

Yes, DR Laura, that's my back-up!

I haven't read The Fountainhead in a while either.  I haven't started a new book yet, maybe I'll read one of them.

Oy, I forgot I need to reset my clocks.  At least my phone and computers will reset themselves.  Just set the wristwatch I've been wearling lately so I know it will be right

And remember THE SIMPSONS and "Ooooh, the Fountainhead" tribute to Ayn Rand

(this one's only 15 seconds, actual Simpsons excerpt)
Spectacular. "So ... anyway ..."

MIDDLE OF PAGE 5 "ATLAS SHRUGGED" DANCE

Interesting, especially in that the end of her life was the anathema of what she professed to stand for in her writings.

I love the quote in the following: "As Michael Ford of Xavier University's Center for the Study of the American Dream wrote, 'In the end, Miss Rand was a hypocrite but she could never be faulted for failing to act in her own self-interest.' "

I have never read Ayn Rand and probably never will based on what I have read about her.

So, you read something you don't like about someone so you won't look at their work?   Just asking

I dunno. I guess the quotes of hers that I've read haven't made me want to read more. Though I have read Hemingway, despite the fact that I don't care for his writing. So, who knows.

Ok, that makes sense.  I thought you meant you read what others said so you didn't want to read her books.  If you aren't interested in her philosophy then you probably wouldn't like her books

DR FJL - I noticed you calling earlier today as I was entering the subway station at 18th Street. Unfortunately, by the time I went to answer your call, it went to voicemail. And, then, once again unfortunately, when I resurfaced at Columbus Circle, when I went to listen to your voicemail, all I heard was static for 51 seconds. And then when I went to try to return your call, I could not dial out. To anyone. And then...

And then...

For the next couple of hours, my iPhone was only an "i". I could bring up the keypad, but it would not work, it was not responsive. I couldn't call out, and when I had an incoming call, I was not able to pick it up. Meanwhile, everything else worked: Twitter, Facebook, texting, NYTimes, etc.  Very strange.

And then I got a text from my friend, Brendan, who was going through the same thing, but he also had the additional problem of his home button no longer working.

And then...

And then...

I went to work a shift at my friend's still new-ish restaurant. They were short two servers tonight, and he just wanted an extra back-waiter to help out for a few hours.  Well... Nine hours later... Oy!

It turned out to be the best night of business since they opened both in number of patrons and nightly receipts.

Instead of sleeping, I'm just skipping through "Saturday Night Live" on my DVR.  Apparently, Julie Taymor made an appearance on "Weekend Update". ;)

DR elmore - I'm glad you had a great time at Carol Carroll Studios! ;)

-I adore Lauren Worsham. She sang on my friend's Kurt Weill evening. -And she won the Kurt Weill Foundation's Lotte Lenya Competition last year.

-I also ran into Howard McGillin on 8th Avenue earlier this afternoon. I'm guessing he had just left Carroll.

-And it turns out my friend, Michael, is dating Jill Paice. He kept mentioning a "Jill", but I had no idea it was her. :)

Jose

congrats on the new digs

Now you have to get on one of those house maker over shows

Thank You, Michael.

As for being on a home make-over show, well... I don't think I could deal with Ty Pennington in person for more than 5 minutes. ;)

FJL, she's actually out of town and probably hasn't even seen it.  We just tried to get her for the Gardenia show in April.

I thought she was still in L.A. checking in on Dangerous Beauty at Pasadena Playhouse? Although, I know she has a cabaret engagement in San Francisco next weekend.

And she'll be in Austin, TX, for part of April.

-At least according to her WEBSITE. ;)
