My great aunt lived in Madison County. She painted a picture of one of the bridges and I have it upstairs. Mom said she always thought the wooden bridges were a nuisance, lol. We did the tour of them back when I was in 4th grade, long before it was cool

Old bridges are fun.

Home from rehearsal with the seven boys in the ROBERTA band. We finished an hour earlier than scheduled, and i think they sound fantastic.

I read in today's Washington Post that Sandy Bainum's father-in-law, Stewart Bainum, Sr., had died. He had a real rags-to-riches story:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/stewart-w-bainum-sr-dc-businessman-dies/2014/02/19/07eeae6a-98be-11e3-b88d-f36c07223d88_story.htmlhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/stewart-w-bainum-sr-dc-businessman-dies/2014/02/19/07eeae6a-98be-11e3-b88d-f36c07223d88_story.html

In this article it mentions the first hotel in the town Craig lives in and that he lived in the town Craig works in.

Thanks for posting that. I liked the story of his helping the kids through the I Had a Dream foundation.

I agree. After all that's what Jeff and Beau think.

I thought I had a do-nothing day, but alas… I spent two hours at a local Thai place with Nick Redman, Julie Kirgo and Andrea Marcovicci - she signed some booklets for The Front Blu-ray.

I just watched it! What a wonderful film. But what was amazing, and shocking, to me was that it turned out I'd never seen it. How could that be? How did I live from 1976 till now always knowing about THE FRONT and believing I'd gone but didn't remember a lot of it? I even had a movie tie-in paperback of it for years. Maybe I still do? But I swear, I had never seen one frame of it.

And btw I was blown away by Ms. Marcovicci.

No, it doesn't appear I still have it. Oh well.

Oh, and Mostel. OMG, incredible. But they all were.

Your post takes me right back to that time DR ELMORE. You are right, we must never forget.

And it takes me back, as well. Unfortunately, the younger generation has no desire to hear about what they consider to be ancient history.

This morning both traps caught mice. I have two bodies to dispose of. In the past they came to visit singly. There must be a group tour of the building.

Maybe you should mention to their travel agent that they might try the boat tour around the island instead.

Had some baking soda and water earlier and then a bowl of rice. My stomach is feeling much better. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm off to bed. It's been a crazy exhausting week and it isn't over yet

Oy! Well, today was a day. I had a dental appointment at 8:30am, which was supposed to be a simple prep for a crown. It turned out there was decay going down into the roots - the tooth had to be removed. Despite the dentist's best efforts, he couldn't get out the roots. So this afternoon, I was in an oral surgeon's chair. He ended up having to make an incision in my gum, as well as removing part of my jaw bone, in order to get those roots out. I'm not in such great shape right now, but I have some wonderful drugs.

Oh, and we're having the biggest winter storm of the season so far.

Removing part of WHAT??

Oy!!!

Thursday morning greetings! We had a delightful and delicious dinner last night at Meritage to celebrate Mary Linda's birthday (a week late).

The menu looks yummy, except possibly the Cajun Goat Cheese Crusted Filet.

I think someone's hacked my email: I am getting 3-10 emails a day for the past week inviting me to look at naked young ladies or to meet Minette, Yvette, Alphabette, and Kitty. It's hard to mark them as spam since every wet (that's what they tell me!) young lady has a different email address. Damn.

Usually these young ladies usually remind me that we met before at that "hot" X rated site that we both hang out at. Right!

Okay, I have a Hitchcock-related question for BK and anyone else who might have been in L.A. in 1972-73.

Tomorrow I'll dig out my copy of the program book which will give us the dates (at this moment I only remember it was in the cool months), but was anyone here in attendance at the Hitchcock Retrospective held in the Bing Theater at LACMA? It ran for at least a couple of weeks, and was wonderful throughout. I was very lucky to learn about it by reading the paper on the very day it opened. Figuring there was a good chance that I wouldn't get in, I nevertheless went down and did, in fact, get one of the last tickets for the evening. On that opening night we were treated to viewing Mr. Hitchcock's personal 35mm print of REAR WINDOW (this was during the years that those films were out of circulation), in his presence, followed by a Q&A moderated -- I think -- by Charles Champlain. I'll have to dig out whatever I have on it and scan a few things. It was an incredible few weeks.

I saw Rear Window with Mr. Hitchcock in attendance - it sounds like the same deal, but this was at the Writer's Guild Theater - I still have the program somewhere.

All day, today, I tried to avoid all newscasts and especially any sports news. So I open a story about the fighting in Kiev and as I am reading, I notice there is a sidebar to the article. Like an idiot, I look at it, and there are the Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners of the Women's Free Skate. Whatever happened to Spoiler Alerts?? Damn!
