Page WHAT??

Back home from wherever, about to watch Creature in 3D.

Well, at least that put us on FOUR.

What is an Ontrac?

Richard Carlson and Richard Denning must look mighty spectacular in 3-D. As if you could reach out and touch them.

Such a strong, brave girl, I hope she pulls through. And a pox on those responsible for the cowardly act of shooting a school girl!

I must seek out the documentary that she was featured in.

I grew up in Scottsdale, AZ, before Scottsdale became "Scottsdale." My house is 50 years old. This town started to really grow in the 50s and 60s. As Scottsdale spread north it became upper income. The people up north refer to us as "SoSco" now, since we are working class people and they don't want to be associated with us. We make sure we say we are from south Scottsdale, so people we meet don't think we are from the fancy part of town. Although I don't suppose mistaking me for an upper class person is very likely.

This is interesting to me. My only experience with Scottsdale was during a company trip which included spouses. We stayed at one of the posh "ranch" hotels. While the surrounding neighborhoods were nice I don't recall over sized homes.

How long ago were you here?

Greetings from Toyland. The pressure in my eyes is back to normal so Dr Moazed and I are both very happy.

Back to the charts!

Very happy news, Larry!!

Well, the day has gotten worse; I just got a really ugly email from a "friend" who clearly isn't. I have no urge to disclose the contents but it came out of the blue, attacking me for a flippant email I had sent to several colleagues earlier in the day to a question about music notation. I am really quite sorry that this has happened but the person flying off the handle had no reason to attack me with such hostility.

The stars and planets have to be in a huge collision in my chart. That's the only explanation.

So, the MD in me is horrified at the new recording of the musical "Top Hat" that's playing in London right now. Just listened to a sample on iTunes of the song "Puttin' on the Ritz" - and the guy singing literally sang "Puddin' on the Ritz" Really??? PUDDIN'?

About four days. The weather was perfect while we were there. Keith & I, along with another couple, drove out to a state park (?) that was very pretty. At the time I thought I could retire there.

The company had a dinner at a Southwestern Mexican restaurant where I had the best spinach enchilada. It was my first experience with this cuisine & possibly the best.

I have been searching for the hotel and can't find it. I thought I could by photos of pools. Too many of these resorts have incredible winding pools.

Sorry, I meant to say.

I know it was before we got Echo because Keith and I drove past a park with a group of people and their dogs. We both sighed and remembered our park days in Los Angeles and talked about getting another dog. That was maybe 18 1/2 years ago. Wow, I've had the sundress from Chico's I bought for the trip a lot of years. At the time I didn't know Chico's was based out there. Half the women were carrying big shopping bags from Chico's.

And now I am off to Salem to have my daughter accuse my neighbors of witchcraft so that they will be hanged and I can purchase their property at bargain prices.

Good luck, Jack!

Those pesky Britons. They just don't know how to do an American accent.

Someone on one of the sites said - and I haven't heard any clips of this recording so I have no opinion - that the leading man sang like Groucho Marx.

Ontrac finally delivered my package at five-fifteen, so I went and retrieved it. Perhaps I'll watch ET tonight after I finish Thunderball.

It's cooled off considerably, so much so that I might just have to turn on the heat later.

Like elmore, I've had several irritants this day, but I can't let the twits get to me so I respond, do what I must, and, in the words of Sheriff John, laugh and be happy.

George · « **Reply #110 on:** October 09, 2012, 06:39:20 PM »

I'm off. I wish I could say to home, but Theater Artists Olympia is having a board meeting and I'm on the board, so I must try not to be bored with my board...meeting.

Until later!

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** October 09, 2012, 06:41:55 PM »

Thanks for the words of advice, BK and Sheriff John. I had the irritants today, too.

After work, I went and sought out a favorite Chinese-American place for dinner. Eight Precious Soup (a kind of egg drop with shrimp and a little bit of everything else), Barbecue Pork with Vegetables, and an eggroll with hot mustard. A little nostalgia and all was right with the day.

John G. · « **Reply #113 on:** October 09, 2012, 06:44:26 PM »

After dinner, I went to hear a women's vocal group that was releasing a new CD, spirituals from all types of American music. Quite lovely.

John G. · « **Reply #114 on:** October 09, 2012, 06:46:47 PM »

The concert was held in a store that sells sound systems, TVs and the like. They had a sample 3D home theater with $200,000 worth of equipment in a sound-proof room that also cost $200,000. For a sample, they showed scenes from "Avatar" and the motion of the chair made me almost as queasy as the movie.

I just didn't see the need for it, which is good because I could not afford a downpayment on such stuff.

And that is my contribution to getting us to Page Five.

Thanks, Dan the Man. I can't wait to listen to what arrived in the mail today. I am sure it will be my favorite birthday present of the year.

Watching "The Plainsman" tonight, which I bought because it had Jean Arthur in it and a George Antheil score. Neither is all that worth the $3 I paid for it.
