I awoke to the news of the London helicoptor crash. Glad to know that is nowhere near where Ginny and Richard are staying.

BLAZE the SuperDog is most adorable.......

We had great photos of DR DRUXY's adorable Chester last week and now this week BLAZE! This place is going to the dogs.

With apologies to Callie and Ricky and Boo, of course. Since we had pictures from DR JANE of a lovely kitty as well.....

And what about Nicky?

When you look half way down your page there is the option to set your goodreads goal for the year. Then it keeps track. But as long as you are marking the date you finish books you shoulld be able to check.

I can't get it to show them in reverse date order so it takes to long to get to the end of my books read list.

I've set my goal to 150 and it says at the pace I'm going I'm one book behind schedule. If I could count my half read Les Miserable I would be on schedule

As of now I've read 5 books. It will be interesting to see if I reach my goal. Thank for encouraging me to do this.

It's another cold and damp day here in Conshohocken, PA.

I'm up, I'm up. Again, didn't fall asleep until about two-thirty, was up twice during the night, and the alarm went off at 9:15.

All I know about the helicopter crash here in London I've learned from HHW. We're watching the news now and all we're hearing is about gun control in the US.

Seems like a good amount of sleep to me. If I were really lucky I would be able to sleep until 7:30 but would most likely be awake by 6:30.

Of course as soon as I purchased a book for my nook the library offered me a book from my waiting list.

I've been waiting for almost two months for The Dog Stars from my library. And it's a short book--what's taking so long?

Jane · « **Reply #42 on:** January 16, 2013, 10:08:42 AM »

It must be popular. Do you know where in the queue you are?

Ginny · « **Reply #43 on:** January 16, 2013, 10:11:21 AM »

We made our way to Grosvenor Chapel today and recreated the scene that's depicted in the painting I gave Richard for Christmas. We were glad to be off the beaten tourist path for a while. Found a delightful Mayfair coffee shop for a refreshment stop, then made our way to Regent Street, where we window-shopped and picked up our on/off bus and rode to St. Paul's. After shopping in the Cathedral shop, we had a lovely afternoon tea.

Now that you've set that up whenever you want to know what books you've read in 2013 you can just go half way down your goodreads page and click on books read. I find it very helpful.

I am back from lunch with my friend Peter Clem, whom I've known since a summer theatre production of GYPSY about 40 yesrs ago. When I moved to NYC, Peter got we working with him and two friends on a cabaret act that led to my becoming staff arranger for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. at one point, during my six-month search for an apartment, Peter rented me his home office space for a bedroom and we were roommates for about six t eight weeks.

I hadn't seen him in about two years so it was fun to catch up.

Tragically a helicopter crashed in central London this morning (fortunately not close to where Ginny is staying). Helicopters have to follow the line of the river but this one hit the top of a crane and fell onto a busy road. No news of casualties yet.

Sadly, two people died (including the pilot) and 13 have been injured. Awful news, but still a miracle that more were not hurt given that it was during the rush hour and in the middle of London

I'm headed to South Padre Island with a couple of friends in a few weeks. Seen down there recently is this beauty, a flammulated owl, which is only about six inches tall.

He was a wonderful man! Conrad was a friend of the Drama Book Shop owners and a funny charming gentleman. He had funny stories about being in the original 1956 productionof CANDIDE. The last time he called the Book Shop, he was asking forhelp in finding a boy to play hos grandson Pud in ON BORROWED TIME.

Dear Reader (DR) chris_p, welcome to the group! Tell us all about yourself: what do you do? how did you find us? We are happy to see you join us.

Now, do you like Cherry Coke? Are you a body builder of advanced years? If the answer to either is yes, run for your life.

I am going to watch CROMWELL on TCM this afternoon. I always get a little murky on my English history around that time - so i am sure they way to clear that up is to watch a movie about it.

Oliver Cromwell lay buried and dead
Hee haw, buried and dead
There grew an old apple tree over his head
Hee haw,, over his head
The apples were ripe and ready to fall
Hee haw, ready to fall
There came an oldwoman to gather them all
Hee haw, gather them all
Oliver rose and gave her a drop
Hee haw, gave her a drop
Which made the old woman go hippity hop
Hee haw, hippity hop
The saddle and bridle, they lay on the shelf
Hee haw, lay on the shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself
Hee haw, sing it yourself!
