I will have to record TAR. Here it is on at 7pm. Because the channel it is on is having tonight's awards show.

JohnG - Thanks for reading it and your thoguhts! Much appreciated.

JMK - I've only gotten to meet Brooks Ashmanskas at a couple of parties and backstage at his shows a couple of times, but he's actually performed Skip's work a number of times.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We are home from Lima and I'm really glad. It was rainy and foggy from Sidney (where we ate lunch) on and I was driving.

Can you drive using a cell phone in Ohio or do you need a hands free device?

Since I do use my cell phone from time to time while driving, I'm glad to see this info:

Quotes from: vixmom and Jose on November 19, 2011, 11:57:24 PM
what is the difference between the Nook Color and the Nook Tablet?

Jose - Um... I think there's a side-by-side comparison chart at http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nook/379003208

From what I can tell, the main additional feature of the Tablet is the built in HD Hulu and Netflix streaming capabilities.

Read David Pogue's comments about it, though because the "HD" claims, according to Mr. Pogue, (a trustworthy source) are exaggerated.

Nook Tablet

Oh, by the way,

Morning all.

That is all.

I've been seriously looking into which one to buy the Nook or Kindle. An IPad is too expensive for just being a reader.

I went to the B & N Botique last night and looked at Nook Color. (Tablet doesn't interest me)

Today I will go to Staples and look at the kindle, I'm leaning towrds the Nook because there larger selection of books, you can read books in the store. There is an yearly fee of $80.00 for the kindle if I understand what Pogue said in his article. B & N discounts their ebooks. You can join there B & N club for $25. They will put that towards the cost, but the club doesn't work on the ebooks.

I will make my decision after I go to staples

where do you want to buy them from?

My wonderful local bookstore is now selling ebooks from their website. So far the prices have been comparable to Amazon & Barnes & Noble. These are nice people who own the store & treat their employees well so I plan to purchase my books from them when possible.

DR TCB asked where i was (yesterday).

I went to a craft fair! Love those.

What did you buy me?

I actually didn't buy anything. Although my sister bought me some fudge (i love fudge).

My niece got this fancy pencil. A lady made a fancy girl that sits on the eraser of the pencil.

My niece loved it as soon as she saw it. My sister told her she could have one thing from the fair but she needed to look at everything first.

The whole time she was saying that i was thinking "um do you know your daughter ... she is so coming back for that pencil!"

Cell Phone and Texting Laws

I'm surprised that so many States allow the use of hand held phones while driving. In the UK it's completely illegal. There have been numerous cases of drivers causing accidents and deaths due to them being on the phone or texting. Mind you, it doesn't stop people - I see drivers all the time here using hand held phones.

Back from delivering a big box o' CDs and some lunch. I shall now relax a little - still raining heavily, which is kind of nice, actually. We now have at least one of our obligatory "dislikes" on the video - and I think we can all guess who was kind enough to leave it.

What's so amazing to me always is that FJL posts something positive - people agree, but some folks can't help but go in and trumpet how they don't. Why? It's fine not to like something but why go into a thread that's positive to do so? Just to be negative? My response, if I cared to make one, which I don't, would be the same as FJL's - some find things funny, some don't. Who cares? That's the way it's been with comedy since the year One. Some people find Adam Sandler funny - I don't. But I don't really feel the need to go into every pro-Adam Sandler thread and thread crap. But that's the Internet. And, of course, we know who at least one of those threadcrappers is.

I don't use my phone often while driving and I use the speaker feature if I'm in traffic or if I think any maneuvering will be required. Of course, I don't drive that much anymore since I retired...

Thank you. Bryan called from his cell while driving through Ohio on his way to an interview in Pittsburgh. The reception was so bad he switched to holding the phone & said he wouldn't get a ticket. I guess he was right. I'm surprised how many states don't have a ban. I find using a bluetooth more complicated & distracting than holding my cell while driving.

Texting is crazy as you have to look away from the road to text.

Hi everyone....

I need to ask a favor of all of you...

My friend Kyle Underhill was found murdered yesterday in a marsh. He didn't deserve to go out like that... my friends and I are pretty torn up about it happening, and we were hoping that you could keep his name in your prayers. Thank you so much guys...

I loved the Episode 2!

And then I found on youtube clips from the Chicago Light Opera Works production of THE GOLDEN APPLE with a good cast and a full orchestra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1khi-gxI-c&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

It's great hearing the full Act one Finale and Judgment of Paris, which are cut on the OBC.
Thank you. Hope to catch that later.

I guess there is a reason why I have never heard the score before.

Wonderful show. "Lazy Afternoon" comes from it, and that is such a sensual piece of songwriting. I love everything I've heard from it. Just wish there were a full recording, and at the right speed. The vinyl was speeded up a bit. (Sped up a bit?)

We know he went missing Wensday and was found yesterday morning.......It's horrible....... No one knows how he died, I just hope it was quick. And my friends are setting up a memorial at the school possibly on Tuesday so I'll go to that.

....Happy Thanksgiving. What am I thankful for now....?

Jrand, funny about the windows - normally I would not have shot the long way in that room, I would have shot the other way, as I have at Screenland here in LA, but I loved the look of the windows so we did that. FJL posted on Talkin' Broadway - mostly positive responses, but naturally dcb, who I think we ALL know, had to come in, as always, and make a disparaging comment, and one other guy said he didn't like it because he saw the original movie during its original run. I don't really understand his point - it's almost as if he took the clip seriously. You would think dcb, who I think we ALL know, would get tired of this crap, but apparently this crap is what dcb lives for - every waking minute of every waking day.

I didn't comment on the windows.....but I was thinking la mem chose.
