I am really saddened by the news of my beloved Marni Nixon's death. She was a truly beautiful person. and the world is a little less bright today. I didn't see her often enough in the thirty years I knew her, but they were always wonderful surprises: sitting directly behind her at the penultimate performance of the Broadway production of RAGS, being able to offer her our extra ticket at Juilliard for a performance of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, running into her on 72nd Street after BK's Kritzerland show, the last time I saw her.

My condolences.

It was my friend Ping's son who lives in Santa Clarita, and he got evacuated last night. So, vibes for all of those affected by the fires there.

The policeman said there have been a lot of thefts of things lately. The roofer was here to give him an inventory of what was taken. I think his insurance will cover it, but it may have to go through our homeowner's insurance. We shall see.

I am still trying to figure out her "staggering beauty" which was written about in the reviews of her movies.....she looks pretty ordinary to me....

Oh...wait....I did like her in two movies:

To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

My condolences to you and to her family. As a kid, I used to watch her on BOOMERANG.

DR Elmore, here's a snapshot I didn't even know I had until at some point long after the event.
I don't think I ever posted it, either. But even if I did...

Very nice, ChasSmith!

No political thought to this - Both VP nominee Tim Kaine and his wife Anne graduated in my law school class. I remember Anne very well from school days, but I don't remember Tim from school at all. I wonder if I was in the same classes as Anne more often.

But Fred, does she remember you??

Well, I am finally able to start listening to the interview with DR Elmore!

The audio link doesn't even appear in Firefox on my Windows laptop. Likewise, in Safari on my iPad. But using Chrome on the laptop, I get it.

What is UP with this???

Anyhoo, on to the interview!

Greece 2 wasn't great but I enjoyed it. I also remember thinking this woman is going to be a big star.

Vibes nothing else is stolen before the roof is completed.

We have our new refrigerator door and we expect the problem to be fixed. To begin with this door fits better as well as opening and closing properly. They should have replaced the door after the first visit with the repairman, or at least after the 3rd visit but not over a year later.

Jane · « **Reply #55 on:** July 25, 2016, 11:38:25 AM »

The door looks better too as the dent I put in it is gone. A reminder to myself, do not open the oven door when the refrigerator door is open.

It just got darker than HELL here. Thunderstorm's about to come through, and the air outside has that incredible earthy, pre-rain smell. It's positively intoxicating.
