Since there's a bit of a lull, let me announce that I'm in the local paper!  The Olympian did an article about the anti-trust lawsuit with the big record producers (price fixing) and Timberland Regional Library (where I work) got 2,850 free CDs!  There are issues, though.  The biggest being multiple copies of CDs.  Who (at all) needs 90 (yes, ninety!) copies of The Three Tenors??  We only have 27 branches.  Who needs 30 copies of Lee Greenwood's "American Patriot" CD??

Anyway, if you want to read the article on-line and see a picture of me (different than my "Before and After" picture...it's after the "After"), CLICK HERE to read the article.

You're famous!  Congrats to you, Dear Reader George.

Page Seven Dance!

This is actually me doing a fencing move of my own creation called The Tap-Dancing Gazelle.

Thank you, Jay. That is the best compliment a fencer can get.

The first time I tried that move, the poor lady I was fencing didn't know what hit her. You have to see the whole thing to get the full effect, but the name "The Tap-Dancing Gazelle" really does fit it.  You end up about ten feet away from where you started, and I'm still trying to figure out how I end up on one leg like that at the end.

I am off to the the-a-tuh, Dear Readers.  M. Butterfly is the play.  Needless to say, I shall file a report either when I return tonight or tomorrow morning.

I waited for Chubby Checker to teach me how. That does not mean I am a chubby chaser Ron. I had lost interest by the time Brendan Bowyer tried it again in the mid sixties. I didn't even play with Georgia's Hula Hoop.

...However, let it not be said that this is not an educational site. I Googled the phrase "Mad Hungarian" just in case something popped up -- and what I found instead of a lyric reference was the recipe for a drink called (natch)
THE MAD HUNGARIAN:
Ingredients:
* 2 shots Rum (Captain Morgan's)
* Fill with Root beer (Mug or A & W)
Mixing instructions:
An easy mix of rum and root beer, on the rocks, or without. The rum is a definite 2 shot minimum, as that it blends seamlessly with the root beer. The Captains can be substituted with Malibu rum for a more island flare.

I'd like to hear from the first person who tries it!
Immediately after?  Or after the first two or three?

Thunderations, we're having lots of thunder here in Rehoboth.  Marty is hiding somewhere, poor pup.  (Kelsey, on the other hand, is happily on der Brucer's lap.)

Back in a bit, after dinner.

Here's the thing...

The Significant Other and I decided to curl up and watch a sci-fi flick entitled Stargate, starring Mr. Kurt Russell and Mr. James Spader.  It was terrible.  Just terrible.

Just got home and on my telephone answering machine was a lovely message from 1930s actress Mary Carlisle. I had written to her to see if she would like to do an interview. Unfortunatley her message to me was that she has never done and interview and doesn't believe she will, despite the fact that friends are always urging her to do so! But it was nice to hear her voice and at age 89 she still sounded quite spry!

Too bad about the interview as she appeared in so many films in the 1930 and 40s...big and little movies...and worked with so many of the greats! I would love to have gotten it all down on paper!

Portland History Buffs might want to check out this site. www.history.pdx.edu/guildslake

Rum and root beer sounds better than rum and ginger beer.  They both sound better than Sandra’s cherry coke.

Sandra, I do love your funny cherry coke stories even if I don’t want to drink the stuff.  The after photo is absolutely hysterical.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this lady who attended the Tonys and who just looks ravishing on this pic!

Unless the original film was like some of Ingmar Bergman's early sixties' efforts and shot in 1:33 and just mis-projected here...
Which gives a whole different spin to the phrase "Opening wide"...

Cool site Jane! I will have to check that out!

Some time back I saw a book someplace that had vintage photos of various parts of Portland as it looked in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, etc. and then had identical pictures taken currently for comparison...it was quite interesting to see what had changed and what had remained the same. I think there is one on Salem like that too.

I wouldn't mind doing an interview with you, you know!
You can even call me Mary if you like! ;)

George, you look very serious, as if you are concentrating very hard on the CD’s.  Nice pic and story-thanks for sharing :D

JoseSPiano I was relieved when you said he rinsed the cans first.  I was envisioning armies of ants marching around his room.   ;D

Sandra you look so cute.

MBarnum glad you liked the site.  My son sent it to me.  His name is listed twice in the credits.

François de Paris nice pictures.  I still haven’t had time to watch the Tony’s.  I think it might not happen now.  I have so little free time these days, it is either post or watch.

So, have you ever watched the television series based on the film?

Synchronized fencing, on wheels and to organ music!  Sounds like fun!

Considering how the series was cancelled with too many loose ends left dangling, a miniseries conclusion is well deserved.  I, for one, want to know how our leads are going to be put back together, after having been blasted into jewel bits during the last cliffhanger.
