I confess I've watched very few British shows, but I love "Absolutely Fabulous". And when Mark and I were in England, we enjoyed watching the British programming in our hotel room. I saw one episode of a sit-com that seemed to have half American actors and I think it was called "Centre Stage". It was hysterical. We also liked a do-it-yourself handyman instructional show called "Big Strong Boys". Mostly we liked the name and we still make jokes about it even though we saw probably ten years ago.

I am excited to see the photos from the gatherings and get the low down on the NYC Kritzerland Shows.....take photos of everyone in the audience, whether we know them or not!

Thank you, DRs FJL and JRand, from Richard!

The funds from my insurance were finally deposited in my bank account this morning. Whew! I can go buy a car tonight. I think I've settled on getting a Mazda2, even though I haven't test-driven one yet. Mark discovered on hertz.com, they have a rent-2-buy program where I can rent a car for three days and then buy it. They have a bright red 2013 Mazda2 with about 47,000 miles on it waiting for me at the Burbank airport. It's the "touring" trim level, so it has all the bells and whistles I like. And it's about $1,500 cheaper than anything I've found comparable. We'll go pick it up after work. I hope I like it!

Thanks, DR Vixmom - we are at our gate at Dayton International Airport with bagel sandwiches for lunch once we're airborne. Due into LGA about 1pm.

Has anybody here seen the Angelina Jolie movie Maleficent? I am wondering how suitable it is for kids? I am guessing that there is zero chance that my 5 year old niece would watch it. She is scared of everything. But my older niece (just turned 9) really wants to see it. I am hoping it will be okay for her. I just got the dvd from the library.

Have we ever gotten to page 2 this early in the morning?

I believe we had a night where we got to page 5 or 6 by that hour of the morning. Long, long ago.

For JRand and who else is interested -- I enjoyed "You Can't Take It With You" very much, though I was a little disappointed that Rose Byrne, who plays older daughter Alice was not in he show. Her understudy was good, though. It was a treat to see James Earl Jones as Grandpa. And Kristine Nielsen was very funny. Elizabeth Ashley was a hoot as the Countess. Julie Halston made the most of her role.

I went yet again to see Mr. Barrett at the Metropolitan Room, this time with DR Ben. Brent was at his best and was very emotional as he thanked John Kander, who was in the audience. Mr. Kander graciously got up from his booth and gave Brent a hug. It was so nice having Ben there.

KevinH · « **Reply #87 on:** November 13, 2014, 09:17:05 AM »

Ben took a photo of Mr. Kander and me. I think it's really good. I would post it but it's on my camera (not my phone) and I don't have a computer with me.

Ben · « **Reply #88 on:** November 13, 2014, 09:42:13 AM »

Yes, it was quite an evening. Brent was in great voice and Mr. Kander, at 87, is quite amazing. He didn't play the piano or anything like that but his presence was exciting. When the performance was over people flocked to him (and Brent). Life Is What You Do and Quiet Thing were both very moving, in different ways. Brent obviously loves what he's doing and it shows on stage.

Thanks, Kevin for the opportunity to see BB.
