My friend Greta is visiting India for two weeks. She is meeting Indian movie stars and Indian movie directors.

I am quite envious.

I wish you could go with her.

Those are the exact words DR Elmore said to me. I think his tone may have differed from yours, however.

What I actually said was, Mikey, go into the light.

Since my last doctor's visit was a total disaster, health wise, I have been eating very healthy breakfast and lunches.

Today for lunch, some lean sliced meat, 1/3 of a yam (sliced), and one whole portobello mushroom (broken into pieces).

Actually quite tasty (he says as he looks out the window at the Indian restaurant across the street).

It's definitely not been a good week. The cough and sore throat persist and because I've been sitting and lying around so much, I've now got backache. I need to be fit to fly to Germany on Monday but there's a big storm brewing for that day so my travel plans that day may get totally scuppered if aircraft get cancelled.

~~~Feel Better and No Storm Vibes!!~~~

For the new HHW members, that is a clothing check...something we used to do semi frequently around these here parts...until Singdaw started posting "Nothing but a smile."

That's when one wishes for a HUGE, open umbrella!

I had an interesting time at the Austin Film Festival yesterday.

I did one of their Roundtable sessions, and sitting next to me at one of those tables was actor Robert Walden (LOU GRANT), who has just moved to Austin.  We will probably have lunch together in the next week or two.

Also, a guy came up to me, asked if I was "Michael Druxman," then told me that, when he was a teenager back in the early 1970s, he would come to my house in Agoura Hills, CA, and watch the 16mm movies I would show almost every night in my living room.  He said that watching movies in my house is what inspired him to go to film school.

Later, he became a psychotherapist, but now he wants to try screenwriting, which is why he was at the Austin Film Festival.

What a small world!  That's a very nice story, Druxy!

I hope everyone posts pictures of their Halloween costumes!

It is Friday, October 25....two months until Christmas...in case you didn't know.

To paraphrase my Grandma:

Have yourself a very early Christmas
Go buy something nice
Spend a lot of money and do not think twice

Here we are in October days
Smart and sober days, we thought
Still we fell for the standard shtick
Not yet sick of Nick, we bought

Some day soon we’ll all be in the poorhouse
If we spend too free
Hang the IOU there on your Christmas tree
Still have yourself a very early Christmas spree

I love this!  You should write a second verse so it'll be a complete song.

Red shirt (we wear them on Fridays here in honor of those serving our country), blue jeans, a frazzled expression.

Tie-dye t-shirt and loose-fitting jeans (and a very necessary belt).

For my dear friend Swivel Head!

That's mean...funny, but mean.

[George]

Boo!

And this is so cute!!

[singdaw]

...until Singdaw started posting "Nothing but a smile."

I didn't really say that, did I?  I have no recollection of that.     

[singdaw]

For the record...


Lime green button-down long sleeved shirt, black belt, khaki's, and brown dockers. God, how preppy.

That's your story and you're sticking to it?

Because that's how I roll!

And the word of the day is: AUTOCHTHONOUS!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

From DR Jennifer:

Do you find swimming helps your shoulders?  I find it hard to swim with a sore shoulder.

Speaking of shoulders, for some odd reason my left shoulder is bothering me today. It feels like i exercised it a lot. But the only thing i did was bike.

I find swimming extremely helpful for my right shoulder that almost always hurts since the breaks and replacement.  It is also the only exercise for my upper body that doesn't regularly cause me to be in more pain.  I do have sore muscles right now, but that is regular sore muscles that anyone would have after exercising when they haven't done it in awhile. 

It was hard to swim at first but I have a good idea what is pain I can safely work through or need to back off from the activity if possible.

I hope your shoulder feels better.

Maybe it's because your shoulder problem is from an actual injury.

I decided I won't go biking later today. It is quite windy and cold. And my left shoulder/arm still feels like it had a hard work out.  Plus I am supposed to take my niece to her swim team practice later.  She has her first swim meet tomorrow. Not sure how it works (and i won't be there because they have to leave at 6:45am and it is 30 minutes away).

Both shoulders are and I'm rather annoyed they have both been worse lately.  It is probably a good idea you skipped the ride today, hopefully tomorrow you can go.

[Jane]

DR Jane, did you say you have an actual shoulder replacement?  Like they do hip replacements?  And this is from having broken it?

Several years ago a playful Newfoundland knocked me down sideways (I didn't see it coming).  I went down hard on a hard surface and couldn't get back up.  My right shoulder was broken in 4 places.  I was lucky to have an excellent surgeon.  He repaired two of the breaks and for another hour attempted to repair the other two.  He had to replace the ball of my shoulder.  It was all rather horrific.  I was in physical therapy for two years and walked away even though it was still helping.  On the upside I have far more mobility than expected, mostly because I worked so damn hard to get it in spite of the pain. 

My other shoulder I fell on all by myself.  At least I didn't break anything, only bruised the bone which shouldn't be hurting anymore but of course it does.

[Jane]

It's definitely not been a good week. The cough and sore throat persist and because I've been sitting and lying around so much, I've now got backache. I need to be fit to fly to Germany on Monday but there's a big storm brewing for that day so my travel plans that day may get totally scuppered if aircraft get cancelled.

Doug is the approaching storm really so strong that it might cancel or postpone your flight?

Yes. There's a severe weather warning with gusts of more than 80mph forecast and British Airways have already said flights may be affected. I tried to re-schedule my flight but there's nothing available. My flight is late in the day and hopefully the worst of the storm will be over by then. The timing and extent of the storm isn't clear though.

Are you hoping your flight is canceled?

[singdaw]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARBARA COOK!!!

Boo!

Awww.

Middle of page one Miley Cyrus PARTY IN THE USA dance

Remember when she didn't twerk and she kept her clothes on?

I don't even want to see this, the photos I couldn't avoid were bad enough.

Jane, that link's a recollection of the wholesome Miley.

LOL.

Did you get too casual with your diet after doing so well?

[Jane]

Blue cotton shorts that I wear to the gym when the weather is chilly and a dark brown t-shirt with my friend's dog on it. The artwork is by my other friend that also painted Sherlock.

Absolutely not. The weather doesn't worry me. Aircraft don't take off it it's not safe.

[Ginny]

Friday afternoon greetings!  It will come as no surprise that I slept very poorly last night and didn't really feel very talkative today.  Finished reading Finding Nouf by Zoe Ferraris and now I can start the sequel City of Veils for a book discussion next Wednesday.

This evening Richard and I are off to Oxford, OH, for dinner and a concert by the Miami University Men's Glee Club.

[singdaw]

That should be fun, DR Ginny.  Hope you can relax a little.

[Ginny]

Black slacks & shirt, purple cardigan, gray & purple tweed scarf with sparkles (to brighten my look).
