A Facebook  comment from Varla Jean Merman, love child of Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine, on the death of her  father:

Thank you all for your kind words. The loss of a parent is devastating, and my love for him was unrestrained. He was a quiet man, but his lawyers often conveyed his true feelings for me, and at least reassured me that he did know I was out there, especially when I came within 400 feet of him.

DR JohnG. I had meant to thank you for the nice comments about the Herbert Songs. I don't know if anyne else on HHW has heard the collection or even liked it much, but we could sure use a positive review on Amazon. Both reviews posted there seem negative to middling to me, much like Suskin's for Playbill, generally dismissive. One says the first disc is great and the material gets worse and the other says (s)he could get six friends and a bottle of wine together and produce something similar, which is an insukt to most of the singers we cast. I know there are clinkers in 102 numbers, but I feel there are listeners happier with the recording than these two critics.

I apologize that I have not purchased the CD yet.

Craig's flight was delayed AGAIN.  Long delays for flights with planes sitting there just waiting to take off.


Did you see the photos of the plane back East that melted into the tarmac?

TOD:

I did French at school and have done classes in German and Spanish. I am abysmal in all of them.

I usually did French after school.

Uh-huh....and maybe a little Greek, too?

I actually wish that I had learnt more Spanish. So many vintage Mexican films are out on DVD now, but without subtitles. Knowing Spanish would make it easier for me to understand and enjoy these films.

I am guessing that the DVD companies releasing them figure that no English speakers would care to watch them, but they are quite wrong.


With all due respect, Mr. Barnum, I believe you are the exception rather than the rule.

LOL!  Actually, the tarmac melted and the plane's wheels sank four inches into it.

Yogi does not like that there are two men from Directv working in & outside the house.  Kitty doesn't like the noises Yogi is making and is hiding.  I'm locked in the laundry with them both.

Are you a-scared of the two men, too?

On a smaller scale we have had that happen on our asphalt driveways.

DR Elmore, regarding your executor situation. Just have in your will that all your assets be liquidated into cash and put into my savings account. I will take care of it all for you, I promise. It is the least I can do for you, my friend.

The day I do that, I will declare myself insane and head to the nearest padded cell.

There's no need to apologize. It's a damned expensive CD and you'd better like turn-of-the-century American popilar music or you're screwed.

I think I need to be back at the turn of the last century.  My cell phone carrier just sent me notice that the Apple Iphone 4 is now available.  Great, that is what I wanted.  The price is what?  $649.00?

Thank you.  I never asked how he was getting from the airport to his friend's house.  Once there they are lending him a car to use.

We took Yogi for a walk to the mailbox.  We need to get out earlier in the morning to take him on a longer walk.  It was hot out there.

I have to tell you all about what happened today.

You know I have a really bad boss.  Well, I'm trying my very best to get the heck out of Dodge even if I have to take a step down.  I put in for a Clerk 3 (data) position and that meant I had to take a data entry test.

I hate tests but I took the time to listen to Joseph's Confidence track before I went down to Civil Service on my lunch hour.  I had Joseph's voice ringing in my head--"You are a confident person.  Confidence! Confidence!"  and you know, I went in, had no butterflies or that sick feeling I always get when I'm being tested on any thing and out of the 40 entries you had to do in the time limit, I got 39.  With ZERO errors!  The guy who gave the test said that was very good.  It's a closed position meaning it is only available to folks who already work for county and I am hoping against hope that I get called for an interview.  :)

I'm thinking that sometimes you may have to take a step down or back to go forward.

I'm here, but have not stopped all day.  I finished another set of liner notes and got that off where it's going.  I got the composer's notes for Wallander, so that's all  complete now - he's such a nice and charming guy.  I had some lunch.  I'll be going to my engineer's house at seven-thirty.  I've done track list and road map for another project and will start on those notes, too.  I've never written five sets of liner notes in a week - it's interesting.  I assigned songs and got the singers mp3s via e-mail rather than burning CDRs.

Ok, but remember to sign the will before declaring yourself insane, so that it will hold up in court.
