DR George - Next time: Monkey usually demands photo approval. Just FYI.

Fine.  Sure.  Whatever.

[Jane]

From DR George:

Jane, maybe you can meet up with Jose and MBarnum when they get together in Portland.

Alas, the company will be here until Sunday & then we need to get ready for company again on the 27th, plus DR Jose leaves Portland on Monday.

[George]

Birthdays always raise our post count.

[Jane]

From DR George:

I call this "Making of Monkey Magic."

  I enjoyed all of your wonderful photos.  The falls are beautiful and it was a treat to see the "Making of Monkey Magic" photos.

[TCB]

DR TCB - As DR JohnG already noted, your grammar and syntax were perfectly fine.

Thank you.

I watched WAR HORSE last night.

I'd been avoiding seeing it, but it was on the 4 for $20 table at Blockbuster, so I bought it.

It's a well made film.  I did tear up at the end, but overall I never really got involved.

Perhaps it was all the cruelty shown to the animals....

That last line is why I won't see it on film. Too realistic for me. I could watch it in abstract on stage or read it, as I did with "Black Beauty." But I don't need to see that on film.

I have to say that the violence in the stage version of WAR HORSE is still quite wince- and tear-inducing. And having humans commit that violence on other humans (who are operating the puppets and "voicing" the horses) adds another layer to the proceedings. It was more powerful than I had ever expected.

[Jane]

Thanks for the heads up on the WAR HORSE movie, gents.  Not that I would necessarily have been inspired to see it, anyway, but now it shall be avoided.

Keith refuses to watch it, maybe I shouldn't complain.

Next time, DR Jane. Next time for sure.

According to my agent, so do I.

I can always have Monkey send you a release form later.

For DR Jose and anyone else who may have noticed in last nights' photos from Seattle:

"Monkey" is a lot smaller than I thought.   Was he sick as a monkette?

A few years back Keith & I were in a Build-a- Bear store and Keith suggested we get something for Monkey.  We finally decided the clothes might be too big.  Later I discovered how small Monkey was and we were relieved we passed on the outfit.

Monkey never gets sicks. Sometimes a little "pill'd", but never sick.

Yesterday was a delight.  It was great to finallly meet DR Jose, and to realize that he is just as nice and as charming as reported.  Snoqualmie Casino is one of my favorite places, partly because they bring bus loads of old people; so I always feel so youthful.  We had a nice lunch, we chatted, ears were burned, we laughed and laughed, and fun was had by all.

Thank you, Jose, for making time to visit with George and me during your whirlwind vacation.  

[Jane]

Both George and I shuddered thinking about what strange meals Mr. Barnum and DR Jose will sample in Portland on Saturday!

[Jane]

to our always delightful DR Laura!  Happy Birthday.

DR TCB you always find great cards.

Two in a row!  Forgive me English majors.  I was home sick the day the teacher taught the use of "I" and "me."

Is that why you used both correctly in the above sentences?

[Jane]

Thanks.  I panicked this morning because I couldn't rememeber where I had saved DR Laura's card.

I'm kind of digging the Amtrak Cascades Business Class Service. Reserved seats, free bag check, a discount voucher for the Bistro car and some nice big windows. -I'm just hoping the scenery gets a little less industrial as we get farther from Seattle/closer to Portland. *And, thankfully, there's a couple in my car who have designated themselves as the "cellphone police". They don't "Ssshhh!!", they just tell the inconsiderate people, "Excuse me, we can hear your whole conversation."

I was so close to being able to go, if only you could have come a few days later.  Next time.

Jane, you should really see the Falls in March or April when it gets the snow runoff.  It is an amazing sight to behold.

Do you save the link when you find them?

What about in May or June?

Good very late morning for me, all.

Fell asleep in front of the Blus and Rays and didn't rouse myself to go up to bed till 6:37 a.m.  Once in bed, I slept till after 10:00 which is very unusual for me these days.

Then I had this harebrained idea about running out to McDonald's for coffee and a couple of sausage burritos, and I ended up getting only one burrito (which is always dependable) and another breakfast thingy (which isn't).  Don't ask me why I regressed into doing that.  Never again.

So here I am, ketchuping and finishing the coffee.

DR ChasSmith - No 2-for-$1 hash browns?

No, I usually save them to one of my photo albums in Photobucket, but I am getting far too many pages.

I should have run down to the tracks under the Narrows Bridges and waved!  Oh, that's right, I can't run.  Oh well!

Ditto!!  And thank YOU, Tom, for treating us to lunch and for the use of your car.  It was an easy drive.

Our company has gone to do errands and to help her sister set up for the wedding tomorrow.  They will return later today & spend the evening with us.

Bruce, little Eli whom you met in Portland just gets cuter every day.  She is extremely curious.  I find it interesting she  seems to know what she can ask to keep that I would say yes to.  She hasn't asked for anything I would say no to.  We took a tour of my dolls, stuffed toys, and other interesting items.  Her parents said no to the big snow globe with the carousel horse.  She likes the big double bed air mattress we set up for her.

Great fun was the dump truck that drove across the lawn to deliver dirt today.
