DR Jose, that is a nice looking bunch of musicians! And seeing you all countrified ... well, it looks rather good!

The Masterpiece Theatre might be good, because I thought Gillian Anderson was wonderful in BLEAK HOUSE, and I like Bonham Carter but I'd need to know more about who's behind the film. I pity any Miss Havisham having to follow up Martita Hunt in the David Lean film.I loved Anne Bancroft in what has to rank as the worst "Great Expectations," the modern update with Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert DeNiro. It was filmed in Sarasota when I was living there, so we were all excited to see the movie. What a lousy sack of, well, Jane will fill in the rest of the sentence.

Grilled avocado?

DR TCB so glad that your MRI went well and that they now have new machines. I was hoping you'd get one of those.

Well, Jose posed an orchestra photo.That calls for a Magnum!
Hello from rainy Newcastle. My good weather ended Friday. It rained a good deal Saturday, though I was inside for two shows so I missed some of that. And yesterday it was on and off. I checked into my hotel ---let's just say it's a budget place, but it's clean. I decided to walk over to the "Sage Gateshead," to pick up my tickets for tomorrow night. As I started to walk the rain came, so I hopped on a bus. The "Sage" is a very strange looking building. I'm trying to think of how to describe it--maybe a caterpillar (with a bump on top). I picked up the tickets and took a slow walk back to the center of town (oh, and talked to my sister on the phone--from a "phone box." I'm glad they still have those here. My cell phone doesn't work here, so I bought a phone card that you can use overseas). I had some photos printed at "Boots," the ubiquitous drug stores in the UK. And I'm writing this from "Pizza Express." They have free wi-fi. It's in a mall, so I don't know what the weather is like right now. No show tonight. When I'm London I'm used to having a choice of shows, but no such luck here.I think I probably should have waited and come here tomorrow. That way I would have had one more day in London.
My father was born in Newcastle and Keith's genealogical research indicates I probably have several relatives still living there.
I guess I drove him away.

You hadn't heard??
