And one for Mahler

Of course, I have no detergent so I have to go to Gelson's to get some right this very minute.

I was walking on Hollywood Blvd and what did I see across from the Chinese Theater?
Something that would have Charlton Heston spinning in his grave.

Not a whole lot to report. School was OK. I don't think my Shakespeare teacher even noticed that no one knew what he was talking about or was even paying attention. I at least had the decency to pretend to be taking notes.

House vibes for BK. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The brown furry meowing lump on my lap says hello. (Actually, he says "meow," but I'm translating.)

The most unusual "footprint" at the Chinese Theater.

A little further down the way was Eyptian Theater. Isn't this where The First Nudie Musical was "repremiered" last year?

In behind the Kodak Theater is a shopping plaza. The pictures below look like a recreation of that set from the silent film Intolerance,

Here is the 2nd one.

JMK---
No I never lived there and have never been there. I just subscribed to the papers from an ad I saw. They were all comic strips, no news or anything else.

OK, there is definitely something weird going on, and I swear I am not making this up--

I have just received another email from another author (someone else from the Washington Post) who has a book coming out next year on Communism and Hollywood from 1930-1960. Yes, he wants info from me, too.

What am I, 411 on FF?

Get me an agent, stat!!

WEL--that is news in Menomonee Falls (little joke there, apologies to any cheese-heads).

As I went walking on my first afternoon in Palm Springs.

As I continued my walk I took this picture and felt I was having a religious vision.

Michael · « **Reply #103 on:** September 09, 2004, 02:36:44 PM »

The courtyard of the wonderful inn I stayed at in Palm Springs

Michael · « **Reply #104 on:** September 09, 2004, 02:37:16 PM »

An artistic shot.

And for those that have no interest in wine bottles.

Michael · « **Reply #106 on:** September 09, 2004, 02:40:56 PM »

And those who have no interest in men wearing speedos and rather see the wine bottle.

The tram car arriving to take us to the top of the highest peek in the area,. The tram rotates 360 degrees on its 8 minute or so ride up the moutain.

Michael · « **Reply #108 on:** September 09, 2004, 02:52:50 PM »

Here are some pictures of the ride up

Michael · « **Reply #109 on:** September 09, 2004, 02:53:25 PM »

As we go further up

Michael · « **Reply #110 on:** September 09, 2004, 02:54:37 PM »

The other tram car on its way down. Both cars start at the same time on their journeys up and down.

Another mountain peak

Michael · « **Reply #112 on:** September 09, 2004, 02:56:43 PM »

The valley below. Palm Springs is on the left followed by Cathederal City, followed by (I think) Palm Air and the other cities

Michael · « **Reply #113 on:** September 09, 2004, 03:00:09 PM »

Looking down from the top of the mountain's nature walk. What a view! I fell in love with Palm Springs and environs and looking forward to going back!!

They are just starting to pack the DVDs. They have already packed over 100 boxes of CDs and books. Unbelievable. I have no idea if they'll even finish today, but we're ever hopeful.

Michael · « **Reply #115 on:** September 09, 2004, 03:08:27 PM »

I went on a beautiful nature walk. Scenery and the trees were gorgeous. I wish we had this in Florida. This is what I also miss most about Canada.

Michael · « **Reply #116 on:** September 09, 2004, 03:08:59 PM »

Another view

Michael · « **Reply #117 on:** September 09, 2004, 03:09:30 PM »

Another view

The chalet at the very top. Had lunch there. Terrible food. I had tomato soup that was way too salty. The same could be said for the meat loaf. How can they go so wrong with such simple dishes???

Michael · « **Reply #119 on:** September 09, 2004, 03:20:52 PM »

Rte 111 out of Palm Springs and on the way to Los Angeles and LAX
