Actor Wayne Knight is dead. This is so sad.

http://usmagazine.us/reports-newman-wayne-knight-killed-semi-tractor-trailer.html#.UyXRJuddXwg

This site also says that Betty Whilte has died.

and apparently that is also untrue


I don't get the kick these people get  posting false death reports

Interesting section of the NY Times obituary for Mr. Leigh:

"In his later years he ventured into real estate in a memorable way, creating Jackson 21, a village-like development in Jackson Township, N.J., on land he had begun buying in the 1960s as a tax shelter. The development was intended for artists of all kinds, Mr. Leigh said, though others were accepted as well.

But he had one stipulation, as he made clear in his television commercials — in which he starred, looking a bit like Quixote — and other promotions: “If you’re not a nice person, don’t call.” "

that's why I never called

LOL!

Seven!

Went back to watching another Edie Adams show. Allan Sherman is the special guest. Very strange. He got to do "Hello, Muddah" and a funny sketch as a switchblade-toting beat poet (also featuring George Furth in a small bit). But Sherman's now joining Adams in singing "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" with lots of children around them. Not good.

She swerved to miss another bike rider coming out of a tunnel.

I'm guessing one of them was on the wrong side of the tunnel bath   I guess it could have been worse had they crashed.

What is a tunnel bath?

Jane, are you planning another trip?

We are going to visit our boys.

are they together now?

I wish.  Bryan is in Cleveland and Craig in the DC area.  I hate how scattered we are.

I thought that a New England Boiled Dinner was a brisket, not a corned beef.  It is boiled with potatoes and carrots, but no saurkraut.

  Oh so you're going to be doing a lot of flying   I hope you have fun  though!

Had a great time listening to the original cast album of LI'L ABNER today.  I put it on the Big Speakers and cranked it up.  Beautiful.  Still a favorite album.  Played the CD with the extras on it like the "Sadie Hawkins Day Ballet", the inclusion of which is nothing short of a miracle.  Why, oh why (oh why oh) couldn't so much more Broadway orchestral work have been preserved over the years?  The stuff would never have fit on LPs, but how wonderful it would be if they'd at least taped these things for posterity and they could be issued now.

I doubt anyone ever thought that LP's were going to become obsolete.  If they had,nobody would have bought them.

No, renting a car from one son to the other.  We will even get to stop and see DR Ginny for lunch.

What is a tunnel bath?

"TUNNEL BATH

Phototherapy, usually employing infrared light, may be applied from a radiant heat source over part of the patient to be treated in the physiotherapy department, or an array of lamps may be used in a special frame forming a tunnel over the patient or part to be treated. The main effect is superficial heating causing increased blood supply, relief of pain, muscle relaxation and perhaps biochemical effects. Similar types exist employing ultraviolet fluorescent tubes providing UVA (280-400 nm), sometimes called the Theraktin tunnel."


What this has to do with  bicycling  is beyond me

wanna see my  8 track collection?

I came in and said  oh I am so disappointed   I wanted to show you pictures on my computer  but I need a big table -to set up  but maybe another  time...

she was out of bed and in her chair ready to do to the library right away

I hope the nieces can put together something for future visits now that they know the secret to getting her up.  I fortunately have always had a dog with me when I went to nursing homes.

Now, I guess, you will have to take Keith.

I did, too. But I'll take anything as long as someone else is cooking.

United, so far, is giving measurements for the second, personal sized, carryon.  They can't be larger than 17 tall x 10 wide x 9 deep.  I understand why these should be small enough to fit under the seat instead of in the overhead bins.   

LOL!  I thought you wrote crayon.

My wifi has died, so I couldn't post anything last night after I went to bed.  Damn!

Do you post in your sleep, TCB?

No, but I can't stay in my whelchair for too-many hours.  I need to move to the bed to becme comfortable.

That same site say they found the tail of the Malaysa jet, but that is also not true.

Sorry, cabbage.

I don't know, DR Vixmom - that doesn't look like a "personal sized" crayon to me...

G'night!

I was hoping to see page 8, but I'm ready to collapse from exhaustion.

Here's a fun bit from the Ernie Kovacs show combining Victor Herbert, Wagner and some mayhem:

Here when a bus is not running they post a sign on top of the bus stop.  It seems only fair.

Canada is quite a civilized country.

it is-  i would move there if they had  any seasons besides winter and winter lite

You don't like Canadian summers?

We have gone to visit my inlaws in July and the days are wonderfully long - sun up at 4:30 and sunset after midnight -- but it never gets warmer than 70, or 75 F  which would be lovely if it was  a three month summer like here, but it  is a short short summer -- they often have snow into late May and as early as  late August

Where do they live? None of that sounds like typical Canada to me. I don't know anywhere where the sun comes up at 4:30am and goes down at midnight. Nor where the high is only 70F. Snow in May?

they live in Northwest Canada- Grande Prairie  and yes they have had snow in May  several times and  snow in August while I was there -  they  are  in the County  not the City and live in the hill area
