Well, you've read the notes, the notes wondered why the plans are so damn lucky, and now it is time for the best laid cows to come home, and I'm not touching that one with a ten-foot pole or a five-foot czech.

BK,

I really liked THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT.

I thought Annette should have won the Oscar.

And, I think that Julianne deserved a nomination.

French dip sandwiches are my favorite.

The best I ever had was at the Central Market here in Austin, but about a year after I got here, they stopped making them.

Good morning, all! I am off my usual sleeping schedule and I am not happy aboout it. I'm up too late at niht these days and sleeping too late. This is something I will work on this week.

As far as all else goes, everything is at sixes and sevens. No money to hand, but who knows if a check might not arrive today. One can always hope. Today, I have a trip to the bank and the market before I settle in with the EILEEN scores. Tonight I'm havng dnner with my old friend Dennis Buck, Lorraine Serabian, and Patricia and Will Snyder. I haven't seen any of them in around 9 years, so I am looking forward to it. I know there will be lots of gossip.

TOD:

I've developed a fondness for crab cake sandwiches, but I eat them so rarely that they don't have to be excellent for me to enjoy them. My favorite, a Cajun crab cake sandwich, used to be on the menu of Le Bus, but alas, disappeared about two years ago.

No TAR last night. Oh, well--another week to get over losing one of my favorite contestants the other week. Rooting for the Cowboys, now.

The UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS sequel start next Sunday. It looks promising, though Jean Marsh seems to be the only returning cast member.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 04, 2011, 06:23:59 AM »

DR Jose, I am curious about the UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS sequel, but I doubt I'll watch it until it's on DVD. I'm in the middle of MILDRED PIERCE, and I cannot rrcommend it highly enough, I've missed the beginning of THE BORGIAS, which I can catch up with on Showtime on Demand, and there's this GAME OF THRONES, about which I know nothing, coming up.

I didn't see all of the original UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS - which I only caught occasionally in its initial PBS run - until around three years ago when I watched the entire series in one fell swoop that took me several weeks to accomplish. It was truly an amazing series.

It's a Monday if I ever saw one.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #21 on:** April 04, 2011, 06:30:34 AM »

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And... Is it raining? Or is just really gray outside? Or will it rain?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #22 on:** April 04, 2011, 06:31:35 AM »

EEEK!! It appears that a good chunk of the country is under a Sever Weather Alert.

Stay Safe!

Speaking of the BBC, I'm listening to the wonderful Stephen Oliver score for Royal Shakespeare Company production of THE LiFE AND ADVENTURES OF NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, and I'm thinking I want to watch this brilliant production again soon.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Two of my current favorites:

The porchetta sandwich at Porchetta. It's just Italian roast pork on a roll. So simple, but so delicious and satisfying.

I'm also a fan of Vietnamese banh mi. There's a great place here in Chinatown, Bánh Mì Saigon. Not only can you get a great Vietnamese sandwich, but you can also buy some jewelry at the counter up front.

As for "Upstairs Downstairs", here's a nice article from yesterday's NY Times:

Rose, Fetch Her Ladyship a Sequel

Monday morning greetings! When I got up a couple of hours ago our outside thermometer read 70^o. A pretty severe storm roared through and now it's down to 60.

Ginny · « **Reply #27 on:** April 04, 2011, 07:30:40 AM »

DR Jose - the crackdown on short-term rentals in NYC caused the disappearance of our favorite apartments from vrbo.com

Hope all works out for you!

As for the Topic of the Day (Part Deux)...

I've been craving a fried bologna sammich lately. Hmm...
