I'm thinking a Jacuzzi might be in the cards.  How a Jacuzzi got in the cards I'll never know.

I'm currently watching Little Caesar.  It's obviously very dated, and Mervyn LeRoy is not one of my favorite directors, but Eddie G - you can't take your eyes off him.

This may be a dumb question, but hopefully someone here will know the answer:

I know that Dickens wrote his books in installments, a certain number of chapters published in what we would now think of as magazines.  Were Hugo and the Dumas family (pere and fils) also published in this fashion?

I am very pleased with myself.  Today I did two things I have not done yet without Echo.  I walked along our country road and around our yard.  It may seem strange I haven’t been in our yard but Echo and I would go for our walk and then circle our property while enjoying the view-well I enjoyed the view and Echo played.   In the six years we have lived here I have not gone on that walk without her.  I must say I did very well and I wasn’t too nervous I might run into scary wildlife.   :-\ It helped that last week our, soon to be neighbor, came over and we walked the road together.   :D

I agree. I never think of Edw. G. Robinson as a favorite...but whenever I see him in a film I enjoy it so.

Have you ever seen him in THE RED HOUSE! Wonderful film.

THE BOSTON STRANGLER really looked spiffy on DVD. Really enjoyed seeing it again. Also watched some of the AMC Backstory in the special features but had to stop because COLD CASE was coming on. Will finish that tomorrow.

DRSWW, I know that Dumas wrote in installments, as did Thackeray, but I really know next to nothing about Hugo's writing.  I know there were some novels, including one that became the silent film "The Man Who Laughs," several plays, of which a couple became operas, and some beautful poetry.  I have this memory of a gigantic Hugo bio by Maurois (?) that I wanted to read.

Am listening to a very lovely and relaxing CD called MUSIC FROM THE CHOCOLATE LANDS..."unforgettable songs from countries where chocolate originates"...sort of light pop music is how I would describe it...Border's has been promoting it of late.

Music from Cuba, Peru, Belize, Hawaii, Switzerland, Ivory Coast, Belgium, Brazil, India, Haiti, the Congo and others.

I guess I should try to get to THE LETTER tomorrow, and SILVERADO is still angry at me for putting it back on the shelf. Must try to make that up at some point in the next few days.

I didn't want all of the films in the Gangsters Box, so I just ordered WHITE HEAT. I'll try to find THE PETRIFIED FOREST used in a week or two.

DRJane, if you read the UNABRIDGED version, it would take more than 2 days, more like 2 weeks!  Did you read the Classics Illustrated comic?  I loved those comics.

I think I'll reread Monte Cristo again.

DRSWW, I think Dumas fils also wrote in installments, but I can't think of any Dumas fils novels besides "The Lady of the Camelias."

Good Evening!

What a long day this has been!  And it really isn't even over yet.

I made it in to the matinee with time to spare.  In fact, I even made a stop at Target to pick up some snacks for the cast and crew as well as some necessaries for myself.  The main roads were practically all clear this afternoon, and there was next to no traffic.  The snow was still falling, but it had died down a bit.

When I went out for dinner between shows, the sun was out, the temp was up a little bit, and all the snow was starting to melt.  Of course, all that melted snow is now currently freezing to ice, so...

I had actually decided to go ahead and head back to Richmond tonight after the show.  I had even brought a change of clothes with me to the theatre because of all the snow and slush.

However, as soon as the second show started, my body just wanted to go into Sleep Mode.  In fact, everyone had hit the proverbial wall.  So, by the time intermission started, I decided to go ahead and stay up here tonight, and just head back in the morning.  I was even turning off my stand light between songs so that I could "rest my eyes".

...Oh, I did have a wonderful Thai dinner between shows.  It's all about the food!

RE: White Christmas - From various reports from various sources...

At the very least, White Christmas may reopen in San Francisco next Christmas - it would be their A Christmas Carol equivalent.  Additionally, other theatres  and producers have expressed an interest in producing it too.  So, the show may end up getting "franchised" and run in multiple cities at the same time.

OH!  And it looks like my New York plans are continuing to fall into place...

I'm going to be "homeless" for about two months since I'll be on the road, but come May 1 or June 1, it looks like I'll be becoming a resident of Manhattan!

Details to follow...

DR MattH - I may have missed it over the past few days...

Did you and your friend ever get the cable issue figured out with the new home theatre set-up?

I did check with my brother, and he said it was a matter of going into all the various menus for all the various equipment, and making sure all the inputs/outputs were activated.
