Leaf blower fueled up. Back deck blown off and straightened up. Storm debris blown out of the yard. By God, I believe my work today is done.

Workers are basically just walking around, measuring, making notes - I'm not sure exactly how much actual work will get done today.

Legal Question..........................

Now that the jury has had a mistrial on the sentencing phase of the Jodi Arias trial; does the new jury have to hear all of the evidence from the initial trial, in order to vote for Death or Life in Prison?

That means the movie features Michael Douglas, Billy Joel, and Matt Damon?

Exactly how I read it.

Will we have room for food in our luggage (Rose trys to give us food to take back to Manhattan)?

Those are the questions of our lives.

DR Ginny, I just drove through Mariemont on my visit there. Then I went out to Terrace Park, a few miles east, to see the house my parents lived in for about 15 years beginning in 1969. It was one of more modest houses there when they bought it for $24,000, but a lovely house in the most lovely of neighborhoods. It has changed hands a couple of times since they sold it, and the last owners completely changed it. The original foundation and fireplace are still there, but they made a whole outlandish McMansion out of it, and it's now for sale and listed at $569,000.

Boy, did they ever not know what they had. Terrace Park was always lovely, and they were so fortunate to have bought that house back then. If they had just hung on to it, because now it is Super Lovely, and only for those who are in the market for million dollar homes. But what a place. Just beautiful.

And I always loved visiting there, and going to Mariemont, too, if for nothing more than to see a movie or have a meal.

What a shame they simply didn't update your home.

The "Aspects of Love" station on Pandora has played both the Broadway and Film versions of the final scene of Evita and is now playing "Welcome to Kanagawa" from Pacific Overtures. I'm glad that Pandora doesn't discriminate.

Good Morning All,

Had a great memorial weekend with my family. Celebrated my handsome son Matt's 27th birthday. He restrung my acoustic guitar for me. Now my playing should sound much better.

We had pizza and cake and hot fudge and ice cream and had many laughs.

Sounds like an extra nice day. Happy 27th birthday to Matt.

I'm home. The drive home from the airport wasn't bad at all. Maybe most people on the road got an earlier start (or later).

I have yet to do a jog because I have literally been on the phone with HP for over an hour now. The scanner wasn't working - this guy has had me uninstall so many HP things it's not even funny- one file after another, shutting down the computer over and over again, now trying to do a firmware download that is taking forEVER, then we still have to install the drivers and everything. It could be another damn hour. I wish I'd never called.

I don't understand how hardware just STOPS working, really. One day it works, the next day it doesn't. And tech support is usually useless. Sorry, bk, that you have to deal with this.

I have been scarce around these here parts, if anyone has noticed. Have been having a very, very productive 4 day weekend working on Bollywood related writing projects and am finally seeing some progress! Whew...but it makes the days go by so fast that before I know it I have neglected not only HHW but just about every other part of my life!

I picked up a fun looking dime store novel from the 1960s..."There were two kinds of love, innocent and wanton...but Teresa never thought to choose between them."

How could I resist a book with this kind of introduction! (not that I'll likely get it read anytime soon.)

ChasSmith · « **Reply #81 on:** May 27, 2013, 11:31:42 AM »

To MBarnum's list I would add:

THE BARBARIAN AND THE GEISHA,

THE TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, and

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.

(Oy! Sorry! Shame on me!)

Happy Memorial Day everyone....the newest edition of the Broadway Radio Show is up on the site. This time we look at 4 intriguing Off-Broadway musicals: February House, Dogfight, Murder Ballad, and Giant. Lots of interesting music, especially Michael John LaChuisa's latest for Giant, which is not his typical work at all. Enjoy!!!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #85 on:** May 27, 2013, 11:48:23 AM »

I certainly enjoy SAYONARA very much....and also I like BRIDGE TO THE SUN with Miss Carroll Baker, and although it is based on a true story...it is not exactly a study in fact....

Started watching "Teahouse of the August Moon" yesterday, but Brando and the tired sitcom feeling of it made me shut it off.
