And I just noticed that one of the songs he wrote with Marvin Hamlisch, "I Belong With You"  was in Behind the Candelabra

Haven't eaten anything today, so I guess I can hold out for another couple of hours.  I forgot to mention that I wore pants last night that I bought three years ago and have never been able to even approach wearing.  I was thrilled a couple of weeks ago when I began to fit in size 34 clothes - THRILLED - this pair of pants is size 33 and I didn't even have to suck in my tummy to button - they buttoned very comfortably with room to spare and fit beautifully.  I now have about ten new pairs of pants that I can wear.  Another ten pounds over the next eight weeks, which shouldn't be that difficult, should get me down to size 32 again - although I'm at the point that anywhere from 32 to 34 is fine by me.  I've really begun to notice the difference in the way I look and so have others who are now finally noticing the extent of the thirty pounds gone.

Congratulations, BK!

DR JOHN G  - now and then I watch some of the SyFy Channel's original movies.  They are really jaw-dropping in every department.

I feel the same way about MANY of the Hammer Films, DR DOUG R....but there are a couple that I really like....

Curse of the Werewolf
Brides of Dracula
The Mummy


Dont forget that Plague of the Zombies, DR JRand...or was that not a Hammer film?


My favorite Hammer horror is their version of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I also like CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and BRIDES OF DRACULA. It has been such a long time since I have seen any of the others.


I prefer Hammer's SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN DRACULAS.

Well, we've been home a week, so it's time to start planning another trip - NYC, November 10-16!

Excellent, DR Ginny!  HHW-NYC get-together?

Hmmmm, I'm planning to go see A TIME TO KILL sometime this fall.  May have to check into going that weekend.  It opens October 20


Cilla, is this the same plot as the book?  And has Mr. Holmes written other non-musicals?
It is totally from the book, he has never seen the movie. It has to do with having the rights to the book but not the movie or something like that.  I'm sure it's been tweaked since it was in DC, but maybe DR FJL can tell you more, he saw it there.

Yes, he wrote ACCOMPLICE, SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, THUMBS and SAY GOODNIGHT GRACIE...that may be all of the non-musicals that were produced, not sure.  He's currently working on the book for SECONDHAND LIONS that will be at Seattle's 5th Ave Theater from September 10- Oct 6.  It's a musical.  I guess I should say he's been working on the book for years and is getting ready for the production.


Yes, I saw that SECONDHAND LIONS was opening the season at the 5th Avenue.  I was almost tempted to buy a season ticket, but as long as I am stuck in this chair I am avoiding going to the theater.

I just heard on the news that some Fox station broadcast the name of the pilots on last weekend's plane that crashed.  Unfortunately the names were a bad joke, but until the names were read out loud, no one realized the joke.  I don't remember all of the names but the main pilot was listed as Capt. Sum Ting Wong.  Bad joke.

Back from The Gardenia - strange and strangely middling show, but shockingly the dinner was great - salmon, perfectly done and perfectly fresh - there were only three servings of it and I got one of them, otherwise the fish was talapia or whatever the hell that is.

Well, the sister's boyfriend really liked the gift certificate that I got him for his birthday. :D He enjoyed all the gifts that he got.  There weren't many, and I don't remember them all (one was a picture of him and his brother from about 20 years ago framed with one taken just a couple of months ago) but they were enjoyed.

Great news about the salmon, BK.  And what a coinkydink...my mom made Larry (my sister's boyfriend) some salmon for his birthday dinner tonight and he loved it.
