The side porch - which may eventually be made into an office...

Is the Skirball Museum related to Mr Jack Skirball, movie producer?

Indeed. Mr. Jack Skirball, movie producer, also known as Rabbi Jack Skirball, was the philanthropist who drove the founding of the Skirball Museum and Cultural Center here in Los Angeles.

And the last one you'll be happy to know -- looking from the dining room into the living room...

Lovely digs, Dear Reader Panni! Enjoy your time there.

How close is moving day to your date of departure for Europe?

Thank you, DR Jay. I move 4 days after I come back. But the nice woman who owns the house said I could start bringing things over as soon as the house was ready (they're still working on completing a few things).
I went around the neighborhood this afternoon and REALLY liked it. Lots of little arty stores, waiver theaters, etc. The Television Academy is minutes away, so I think I'll actually start attending the scores of interesting events I'm invited to there. There's a huge supermarket down the street surrounded by all the useful stores one needs to exist in the big city (Radio Shack, etc.).
BTW - the house looks much bigger in the photos than it actually is. It's small and cozy. Like me. (A joke! I'm not a Hallmark Card.)

Panni the house is darling. I was disappointed when the photos stopped. I think you will be very happy there.

The best chili and before we stopped eating meat, the best hot dogs.

http://www.cupidshotdogs.com/

Established in 1946 by Richard and Bernice Walsh, Cupid's Hot Dogs has grown into one of Southern California's very best traditions, enjoyed by thousands of hot dog and chili lovers daily.

What makes Cupid's so special? To start with, Cupid's one-of-a-kind hot dogs are prepared the same way they were in 1946 when Richard Walsh opened his first Cupid's stand in North Hollywood, California. Cupid's original all natural casing, Coney Island style hot dogs are cooked at just the right temperature in Cupid's original, custom-built steam tables. Each original Cupid's hot dog is then placed in one of our fresh, steamed-to-perfection hot dog buns. Then just the right amount of onions and mustard are added. And of course, Cupid's wouldn't be Cupid's without a generous topping of Cupid's signature award winning chili.

I of course have nothing to add to today's topic.

And I have nothing to say.

The end.

I was perusing eBay (looking for nothing in particular), and found a listing for 22 letters by famous people from "multiple PRIVATE COLLECTIONS." Some of the famous are Tab Hunter, Jane Russell and Barbara Stanwyck. However, there was one that caught my eye. Ethel Merman. Here's what really made me laugh! This is exactly what the seller wrote:

Ethel Merman...most famous for being the wacky neighbor on the very popular I Love Lucy. Ethel Merman was a very accomplished actress appearing in over 30 movies with multiple TV appearances.

Sandra, that is wholly unacceptable. Let's hear about your meals, your day, your school, your brother, your mother. And just what WAS that talk that your father had to have with your mother that took her away from chat so abruptly? There is SO much for you to talk about.

bk · « **Reply #130 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:03:53 PM »

Just got a call from the Wechter - not cancelling, but pushing a half-hour. I'm already ready to fall over from hunger, but if I eat something now it will ruin my appetite.

Sandra · « **Reply #131 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:08:56 PM »

OK.

I am eating a grilled vegetable dinner.

Here's my day: I rode the bus to school, sat through a couple classes, rode the bus back home, went grocery shopping with my mom, and took a nap on my futon.

School is OK. Boring, but OK.

There's nothing new with my brother, as far as I know.

My mom is fine.

Jane · « **Reply #132 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:10:47 PM »

George-

Did you send the ebay person a nice email?

bk · « **Reply #133 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:13:31 PM »

Sandra, that is good. Now we've had the full report, although I don't recall hearing anything about any liquid refreshment.

I'm glad so many of you enjoyed the links I posted a few days ago regarding the city of Conques (Aveyron, France)...

Yesterday, I went out and saw this

... with Tom and Colin!

Thanks for your attention and I hope I did not take too much of your time!

Won't talk about food, because that TOD comes up too often for my own taste

and I don't care talking about food anyway!
I only care eating it!

I thought it went without saying that I had a Cherry Coke.

I'm so hungry. And I just have to sit here until I receive a call that it's okay to leave for the restaurant. That call could come anytime between 7:30 and 7:45, although it wouldn't surprise me if it came at 8:00. By eight I will be in a foul mood and perhaps even a fowl mood, in which case I shall have the Chinese Chicken Salad.

I thought about it, but I probably couldn't word it without making the seller feel like a total dweeb. I don't want to do that...you can, though!

Jane · « **Reply #138 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:27:27 PM »

François lovely, but where is the picture of you, Tom and Colin? How about details on your day.

Unfortunately I will have to wait until tomorrow to read them, unless the chocolate I just inhaled keeps me up all night.

Bye for now.

bk · « **Reply #139 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:28:08 PM »

Whaddup, dog?

I'm so hungry I'm considering eating a piece of cheese or a raisin or something. No, no, not figs, raisins... ah, liasons.

bk · « **Reply #140 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:28:25 PM »

Are we taking bets on what time the phone call will occur?

bk · « **Reply #141 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:28:58 PM »

And what type of chocolate was it, dear Jane.

George · « **Reply #142 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:29:25 PM »

Now, I shall leave work, get some food and go home in time to watch "Joey."

Jane · « **Reply #143 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:30:20 PM »

George I started to pull up a web site to send the ebay person until the first one I tried locked me out. Oh well.

I just read your posts to Keith so he could also have a good laugh.

Jane · « **Reply #144 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:32:14 PM »

Ghirardelli double chocolate chips, eaten in between bites of haystacks. I feel sick now and wish I were hungry like you are.

bk · « **Reply #145 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:34:43 PM »

I'm so hungry I could eat a literal haystack. I do believe that meeting at 7:45 is now a dream. We'll see if 8:00 comes and goes. I can't wait much longer than that and I shall be the one to cancel if it goes beyond my endurance.

bk · « **Reply #146 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:41:04 PM »

Just got the call - he's leaving in nine minutes, so we're meeting at 8:10. I may actually get there at eight and have some bread or something.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #147 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:42:22 PM »

Did the call come yet?

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:42:37 PM »

I'm so hungry I could eat shav.

bk · « **Reply #149 on:** October 14, 2004, 07:43:08 PM »

I'm so hungry I could eat my own nose.
