MESSAGE TO BK:

In an anodyne moment, I found a typo on the Kritzerland website:

On the page for "Album Produced By" (http://www.kritzerland.com/albumProducedBy.htm), the line reads, "Book will ship around the thid week of April."

I mention this, anodynely of course, to keep DA (dear administrator) Bruce spruced up (on his website at least)!

Greetings from Amtrak Train 125. I was on Train 95, which was supposed to leave at 10:35 am. However, it's delayed till 1:10 pm. Luckily Amtrak is honoring tickets on this train.

DR George I was exhausted reading your Star Wars saga. It might be interesting to watch them in chronological order.

Don't...too many spoilers...and not in a good way...unless you've already seen them all. However, if you've never seen any of them, I would recommend watching them at least in the order that they were filmed and released. But watching Episode VI (RotJ) last is a great ending to the whole series.

Count me as one who loathed Titanic - sorry. I saw it very early on in previews, when it was truly awful - if you don't like the finished product, you can only imagine how dreadful it was before they "fixed" it. At that point, several songs were not orchestrated, and I know they were changing certain songs daily, including whatever Vicky ended up singing. I HATED the duet at the end and that, of course, never changed. I also saw it early in the run and it wasn't that much better, frankly. I knew several in the cast, and discovered the wonderful Jennifer Piech, who I hired immediately to sing on one of our albums. But yes, there were some nice musical moments, as elmore says - I didn't like the opening that everyone seems to think is one of the greatest openings in history - it's loud, I'll give it that, but loud does not, for me, mean great. I do like No Moon, and I like the orchestral suite we did on my Titanic album.

Printed up four copies of the book, had a meatless Cobb salad and some tap tap tapioca pudding, brought one of the printed copies to Muse Margaret, picked up one little package, and now I'm home and prepping our release, which we'll announce tomorrow morning.

I also loved Little Me. Some of the people on those message boards were critical of the leads but I thought Rachel York and Christian Bale were great! And Judy Kaye just makes me laugh whenever she opens her mouth.

Not to mention the fantastic orchestra!

On th bus home, I sat across from a Caribbean nanny who was feeding this little tiny boy a bagel. The kid was adorable and she was so wonderful with him. I wanted to run over and paste a gold star on her forehead.

A nice & sweet bus story

I went to IMDB to see what each number represents. It just seems wrong that the original SW is now lV

Bryan was just a baby when it was released and we had to get a baby sitter so we could go see this movie everyone was talking about. It exceeded my expectations.

As I understand it, George Lucas had originally envisioned 3 trilogies. "Star Wars" was released without the Pt. IV in 1977, but that was added later. I think because it wound up taking so long to make the original trilogy, then the prequel trilogy, when Lucas sold the rights to Disney, it was with the idea that "others" would make the concluding trilogy, Parts 7-9.

If these were at the Minnesota State Fair they would be deep fried as well as being on a stick! And of course, they could be since the Pillsbury Doughboy is right there and Pillsbury is based in Minnesota! Both Pillsbury and General Mills have their HQs in MN. One of our neighbors worked for Pillsbury when we were growing up and he used to bring home new products and samples and pass them out to the neighborhood (especially the kids) to get reactions. I remember seeing Pillsbury Funny Face Drink Mix long before the general public and we also saw two that got changed after some negative comments. It went from Chinese Cherry to Choo Choo Cherry and from Injun Orange to Jolly Olly Orange!

I like the deep-fried idea! At the stock show and rodeo, which is going on right now, they're selling that bacon burger on a donut bun again. Sounds too ghastly sweet, but people are eating 'em up.

A friend of mine is doing a play Knoxville for the next coupleof weeks. She sent me a pic of one of her costumes. She did warn me it was LOUD... Her pants are astrobright lime...

She is doing Dixie Swim Club and her character is Vernadette. She is channeling Flo from the TV show Alice.

Her Character is a Kiss My Grits kinda gal

I know you meant "chronological as in the time frame of the story," but if one has NEVER seen any of the movies, I feel that they should not be watched in chronological order, in my humble opinion (IMHO, in Internet lingo).

However, if one has seen all the movies, watch them any way you want...backwards for all I care.
