I don't know the new guy DR GINNY - but Ed Stern was one of the founders of the Indiana Repertory Theatre in Indy.....later run into the ground by Libby Appel - it is just now recovering from her tenure.

Page Four Pwoject Wunway Finale Dance.....

I think the judges have already chosen Anya to win, so I will be very surprised if that is NOT the outcome.....as a big a robbery as last year's win by Gretchen.

You know, in my home state of Kentucky, we eats our squirrel meat in a stew called burgoo. The mainstream version uses lamb instead.

But squirrel brains are a delicacy in other parts of the state. I remember reading this book, "Noodling for Flatheads," in which a man was talking about how he would rather die than give up squirrel brains and I felt so proud of my homeland.

So, eat your squirrels, brains and all.

I am SO suggesting this to mom now!!!

In honor of the Vixter, let's all kill a squirrel today. In Arizona. Where I hear Cason lives.

Burgoo, The Were-Squirrel really ought to be the name of someone's next something.

Back from all sorts of things. I recorded what I had to record, I picked up the Chitty booklets that Mr. Sherman will be signing, I had a sandwich and a small piece of sweet potato pie, and then came home (no mail or packages today). Mr. Jason Graae just stopped by to pick up some sheet music. And I think that's all I have to do today!

In other news, the HARRYHAUSEN double feature arrived, and it is NOT a Harryhausen double feature. It is in fact She and Things to Come, which have been COLORIZED with Harryhausen's input. How completely odd. (Though I will say the source elements look faboo and the colorizing isn't as egregiously awful as it usually is).

Variety reports that Stephen Schwartz has sold a show to ABC Productions, co-created and co-written by Five For Fighting's lead guy (whose name I can't remember). It's a semi-musical series about two sisters, one of whom is a famous singer-songwriter and the other who has forever been in her shadow. Sounds a bit like Babs and Ros to me.

Is that Edmundo Ros?

In other news, I completely forgot to attend DS Zach's Grandparents and Special People event today (since we have no other family in town, Betsy and I always end up going). I'm thinking a well placed bribe of $20 might help ameliorate any deep seated rage.

Yes, that confir

ms my suspicions. There is a mist that is rapidly covering the United States, moving east to west. There is nothing alive inside the mist...nothing human, at any rate. It's just a matter of time before it swallows up the West Coast.

And then...oblivion.

You're actually righter than rain (and why is rain right, I might ask?). The mist has been moving west and it has enveloped most of the house by this time.

No matter what you hear outside, do NOT open the door!

LOL Ron & JMK.

I've got that as well. SHE doesn't look too bad but THINGS TO COME is a travesty.

Just got back from London’s Barbican Concert Hall where Richard Kaufman conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in a wonderful programme of Dimitri Tiomkin’s music. Highlights included The Alamo, Guns of Navarone, Land of the Pharaohs, Search for Paradise etc. Vocalists Whitney Claire Kaufman and Andrew Playfoot sang several of Tiomkin’s theme songs. A nice touch was Richard Kaufman holding up Tiomkin’s original Oscars to the audience, prior to conducting the music which won each Oscar. By the end of the concert all four of Tiomkin’s Oscars were lined up on stage! Kaufman gave thanks to Tiomkin’s widow Olivia who was present in the audience and who had done much to make the concert a reality. The concert was recorded for future release on CD.

Right now I am listening to a compliation cd of Harry James, Tex Benecke, Freddy Martin, Benny Goodman, Kay Kyser, and the like.

Right now June Hutton is singing NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS.

I often listen to them on my car radio.

This was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid.

They often play this one on my radio station.

The allergens seem to be heavy, heavy, heavy this morning.

But we've had enough rain recently to have me arrange for the lawn to be cut. I hope I've left for work before he gets here.

I have to cover my face as not to breathe in freshly mowed grass.

I am the same way. I cannot stand freshly mowed grass.

DR Jane, I won't know my place for CATCH ME until the book comes out

Reading your post for some reason reminded me a question my mom asked me yesterday. She asked if i could remember the name of an author that her and I both read. That might have been a mystery. And that the same character was in all the books.

I asked her if she had anything more to go on than that. But she didn't.

If you don't know your place for CATCH ME how can you make sure they don't skip you again

As for your mother's question . I guess it was worth a try you might have guessed it.

You can't make sure until they skip you. If they don't lose the slip then they place you where you are supposed to be placed.

I don't know how to guess a book with no info. Although there aren't many books my mom and i both read. But if she at least knew when it was or anything at all about the book or the characters.

We both read Lisa Gardner (she said it wasn't her). And we both read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But she reads a lot of Jackie Collins and Danielle Steel, James Paterson and Sandra Brown. And i don't read those authors.

There is an outbreak of lice in my niece's class.

So far she has been lucky. But a bunch of girls in her class have had it in the past 2 weeks. And they all went to a birthday party she attended 2 weeks ago.

The thing i'm not clear about is how long it could take to show up if you have it. I can't believe there is no preventative treatment.

All the girls have been wearing their hair up.

It's sort of funny because every time a kid is absent everyone is wondering.

My niece was absent on tuesday with stomach problems and the next day everyone (kids and parents) were asking if she had it!

Jennifer · « **Reply #119 on:** October 27, 2011, 05:09:08 PM »

It won't be that funny if i get lice now since i managed to avoid it throughout my whole childhood.
