Danise, I just hope that this will lead to you getting some money back or some work done for you.

Last night I watched the PBS presentation of MEMPHIS.

I liked the music and I liked the story.....I liked the show mostly.....I don't ever have to see it again....but it was okay.

What I didn't like was Chad Kimball in the lead role.......he speech patterns were exactly like Pa Kettle....and he did strange weird movements with his mouth like he was chewing tobacco or had a mouthful of snuff or something.....it was just plain weird and distracting....I almost didn't finish watching the show because of my irritation with him....but many of the other performers were very good.   

BUT it was an original show with original music - so I give it that!!!  The costumes were good and the sets and lighting were a lot of fun.

BUT there was also one black male dancer who was ALWAYS off the beat and late with his steps.....in EVERY song he was in....particularly in the first song he was in "Everybody Wants to Be Black on Saturday Night" - and he stood out in the WRONG way all the way through the show.

I confess, I have to wonder if they were able to get in touch with Turner.  I do worry about what he might do.  I don't know if you guys knew about what his brother, mIke, (the one who knocked on my door and started this whole mess) did. 

At the beginning of December, he attacked a 83 year old he was working for.  He told her he had a gun, got her into her house, stole 45 dollars, 500 worth of jewelry, BROKE the woman's arm and then stole her SUV.  That gave me chills when I heard about it.

I don't think so but if I can help one person from going though what I did, it will be worth it.

Thanks for the feel better vibes....I am feeling better.....at about 80%, but I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I can get some more resting time.

It is very nice.

I hope MR BK enjoys THE SOUND OF MUSIC tonight......I don't like the additional movie songs either......I don't like An Ordinary Couple.....but Something Good is not much of an improvement.  And adding I Have Confidence stops the show when it should keep moving....let's get to the KIDS!!!!

Oh, DRGinny one though occurred to me while I was mowing the grass.  This isn't my first national appearance--we were all on the Today show.  Of course this is my first speaking appearance.  I guess this will be my 15 minutes of fame.  :)



Yes, we were, DR Danise, along with DR Cillaliz.  I will be watching Thursday for your national speaking debut!

Glad your feeling better DR Jrand! 

Well folks, I'm tired and I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.  I'm going to say goodnight.

I'll tell you one other odd thing that happened and I swear that it's 100% true.  The very day I got the first email, I was down in the little sandwich shop in our building.  They had the Today show on and I thought to myself that I had been there and that I would never go the NYC again.  Weird how things sometimes work out, huh?

We need to figure out what game we are going to play tomorrow leading up to the Awards.  We could do:

Movie titles as food dishes
Changing one letter in the movie title to make a different type of film

Or

We could come up with a new and different game?

This is great!!!  Usually I do the opposite, I think really good thoughts & seconds later something bad happens.

I thought the same thing about the dancer when I saw it at the movie theaters last year. I got the DVD as a belated Christmas present, but I haven't watched it yet. So, I guess I'm with you on not needing to see it again too soon.

A late dinner of roasted cauliflower with a parsley sauce on it (lots of garlic, capers and anchovies). It's so good I don't need anything else.
