I too thought of DR Jane and DD Sherlock while watching THE AMAZING RACE last night. Those dogs were so wonderful...that was one competition I would have gladly performed!

It was a short clip on video.  Did it last longer on the show?

How long was the clip? The challenge must have been on for 10minutes.

[Jane]

I'm not familiar with the show and have to wonder what they did with the dogs that it wouldn't be fair to the women.

[Jane]

Of course the most important thing is that it was fair to the dogs.

[Jennifer]

I guess DR MBarnum and I came to the same 10minute conclusion

[Jennifer]

I'm not familiar with the show and have to wonder what they did with the dogs that it wouldn't be fair to the women.

During a part of the comp the person had to carry the filled milk jugs through the snow.  The woman took what seemed like 10 times as long since it was 60 lbs.

[Jennifer]

Of course the most important thing is that it was fair to the dogs.

The dog part was just the dogs pulling the cart and was equal to all competitors. Although funnily one dog was stockier (competitor's words) and his dog outran the smaller one.

That wouldn't be easy, especially for me.

I hope they gave that dog to the women's team.

Nope.  Actually I think you got to choose your own dog. The women's team is not the brainiest so they would probably have chosen the cutest dog.

I think this is perhaps the first time I have ever seen Jason Graae get tepid reviews - for Inventing Mary Martin, which has gotten pretty much nothing but tepid reviews.  Interested to hear elmore's thoughts.  I know the author/co-director, but this will all wash over him as he doesn't read reviews.

I'm seeing it on Saturday.

Finished up season 3 of DOWNTON ABBEY and I have decided that one is more likely to survive being a character on THE WALKING DEAD than you are to survive being on DOWNTON ABBEY.

It all depends on when your contract expires.

I'm waiting for my dinner to heat up and a phone call from Rob Berman.

So, DR MBarnum, when do you head to LA y cast the bodybuilders. Or is that restraining order against you still on at the YMCA, YMHA, Gold's Gym, and Venice beach?

In honor of Mary Martin, I am watching her son Larry Hagman's classic 60s comedy "I Dream of Jeannie".

The reviewer on THEATERMANIA gave the show a good review, but then again maybe that's not a bellwether site.

[Jane]

I just watched the entire Berner segment.  The cowboys had one good looking dog.

TOD:

William Desmond Taylor.

I studied that case for years; hoped to do a book about it.

Interviewed everybody from from Adela Rogers St. John to King Vidor to Mary Miles Minter (Did she do it or was it her mother?)

Vidor, who may be the only outsider to have reviewed the police files, offered to collaborate with me, but Adela Rogers St. John advised against it.  "What do you need his for?" she said.

I listened to her, which was a big mistake and resulted in my NOT writing the best-selling book, A CAST OF KILLERS.

 

I'm still toying with the idea of doing something with the material at some point; perhaps a stage play.

 

I certainly wish you would do something with all that material.  I have been interested in that case for years.

[Dan M]

There's an upcoming DVD release that some fellow DRs may find of interest, due out 5/13/14:

It's nearly the end of April and wheretheheckdidthismonthgetto?

I love it when you speak southern!

[Jane]

Seems I hadn't watched all of it.  Those pokey women had a bit more with their super cutie of a dog.  I did feel bad for the one that had to carry the full milk cans, and it seemed to be for a long distance.

[George]

My dog woke me up at 5:00 this morning with that "throwing up" sound.

 

My cat does that fairly consistently every couple of weeks.

[George]

Skip's TIME AND AGAIN concert evening on Mothers Day had to be postponed, likely until fall.  Skip's totally fine about it, so no sorry's needed at all - just the nature of the cabaret world, and better it be done right later on than done too fast and sooner.   

It looks like it turned out to be a much bigger enterprise to coordinate than they had expected, given the number of people and production aspects they'd planned.

Sounds like a good reason to postpone.  Good luck to Skip with the rescheduling!

[George]

DR FJL - glad that they are taking the time to do Skip's concert right.

Ditto!!

[George]

Just called Amazon support (at DR George's suggestion). They were able to work their magic and "force" the corrected version of Red Gold onto my account and devices. They also refunded the purchase price on my previous attempts.     

That's great!  The first time that I downloaded it and found that it was wonky, I was able to return it for credit through Amazon without any trouble.  This second time, I couldn't find the link(s) that allowed me to return it.  That's why I called and I'm glad I did.

There's a lockdown at the high school in my neighborhood. A co-worker's daughter and my minister's three sons are in there. A kid with several loaded guns and knives was detained and there's talk of an accomplice somewhere in the building.

Please send vibes and prayers that this is peacefully resolved.

My coworker Pam's daughter has finally gotten a text message out that she's OK. It seems the school confiscated all phones for some reason. (My cynical thought process leads me to think it's because the district wants to control the PR.) The kid had two guns on him plus knives and he had a fully loaded AK-47 hidden in one of the bathrooms. How do you hide an AK-47 in a school bathroom?

It seems that the kids are OK, but there had been talk of an accomplice and now there's been nothing in the last hour on that. Wonder if they've given up on that idea.

The lockdown has been lifted. Here's the latest from one of the TV stations:

Oh my goodness!  Thankfully, no one was hurt!

Well, this is pretty cool...I just got an e-mail from 5th Avenue Theatre, saying because of the two, count 'em, TWO interruptions during Saturday's "A Room With a View," I can see the show again for FREE!  I'm definitely going to see it.  I'll, of course, have to pay for parking, but that's fine with me.  I e-mailed my sister to see if she wants to go again.

[TCB]

Our Northwest weather seems to be as nutty as what Cilla has been experiencing.  Last night we had temperatures in some local areas down into the 30's.  By Wednesday and Thursday our daytime temperatures are supposed to be 80.

Nice.  I hope they don't have interruptions again.

[Jane]

DR TCB our temps are also on the rise.  It might get to 80 tomorrow.  Almost every Wednesday, no matter how nice the previous days were, my hiking group has had rain.  This Wednesday it should be nice and I expect we will take a drive something for our a good hike.

So, DR MBarnum, when do you head to LA y cast the bodybuilders. Or is that restraining order against you still on at the YMCA, YMHA, Gold's Gym, and Venice beach?

I watched a show on YouTube last night - "Broadway At The White House."  And guess who the musical director was for the program?  Rob Berman.
