We are watching women's curling on CNBC. One of the sweepers was born here in Middletown, OH, and lived here until she was 9.

I watched a lot of curling today with my niece. Is curling big in the US? I am really enjoying the Canadian women's team.

All I know Jennifer is how many people on facebook that have commented how boring it is, except for the Norwegian team with the wild pants.

DR Jennifer, curling is only "big" in the US every 4 years

Wow i don't find it boring at all. It's super strategic. I am in awe of the Canadian women's team. Amazing.

Off to Java Johnny's - bye for now!

Ginny, you have Java Johnny's and we, in Tacoma, have Java Jive!

I watched my Britcoms at 8, and now i'm watching Carry On Screaming. Jim Dale is so young!

DR TCB, Java Jive is a much cuter building than Java Johnny's. It's also the title of one of the Miami University Men's Glee Club's signature songs.

I love the Carry On series. Once upon a time I had all of them, but I lost them when my apartment was burgled.

So sorry about the news about your school friend, JohnG.

What a funny movie! High British camp and then some. I do love me some Joan Sims and Fenella Fielding.

Just found out that a friend of mine from college days, Angelo Henderson, who went on to win a Pulitzer Prize and became a well-known radio personality in Detroit, has died. No details on cause of death. Nothing.

Had seen Angelo since I graduated back in 1983. But I followed his career.

That's terrible! I'm so sorry, John G.

It's also one of the signature tunes for The Manhattan Transfer!

Today was our first two-show day. Next Saturday is our only other two-show day. They provided pizza for lunch in between the shows. Yummy!

George · « **Reply #136 on:** February 15, 2014, 08:26:04 PM »

Both shows went quite well. The second show, actually was a bought house. A local private (I think) elementary school bought the house and sold the tickets to their own students and their parents. It was more than half-full. We were told that they actually bought houses for two of Olympia Family Theater's shows this season. They make enough money to make it worth it. Good for them!

Love MTransfer's version. Thanks for posting.

Ms. Chenoweth puts on a great show. She was onstage for about 1:45, and it felt like a really full evening.

Rob Fisher was her musical director and he was in charge of a 12-piece band with some local players. Interesting that he had an overture with snippets from "Say a Little Prayer for Me" and "Glitter and Be Gay," neither of which she sang.

Musical highlights were "All the Things You Are" (she said Kern was her favorite composer), "Bring Him Home" and Madeline Kahn's "I'm Tired" number from "Blazing Saddles."

She also did the bit where she brought up someone from the audience to duet with her on "For Good." And, yes, the 20-year-old was really good.

Good evening!

Vibes to one and all!

My book collection is quite eclectic with volumes on a variety of topics and genres. I go by the old mantra of Faulkner: read everything!

Most recent readings:

1491 by Charles Mann
Emma by Jane Austen
Round house by Louise Erdrich
1972 by Morgan Llewellyn

George, Glad the broken leg vibes paid off!

Good reading list, DakotaCelt.

I'm enjoying Michael Connelly's latest Lincoln Lawyer mystery, "The Gods of Guilt."

I have a couple of other books I want to read but I have not had a chance yet. One is the PRison Writings of Leonard Peltier and the other is one of Louise Erdrich's books I have not read, Red Convertible Anthology

I think that these are the only biographies that I've read (in chronological order):

Beverly: An Autobiography (Beverly Sills)
There's Mel, There's Woody, and There's You (BK)
Album Produced By... (BK)

I loved them all.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #147 on:** February 15, 2014, 09:32:13 PM »

Lot of good titles... A few that i have read and a few I want to read. I have read Angela's Ashes and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. They are both excellent books.

Jane, have read 'Tis?

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #148 on:** February 15, 2014, 09:34:09 PM »

I have read a number of biographies including Bill Bell, Jeanne Cooper, and DRagonlady [bio about Anne McCaffrey]

Those are the ones I can think of right now

It is growing in popularity in this area. It has always had a following in the northern tier states like North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and a few other.
