Bk, The Lovely Wife also was witness to the gorgeous rainbow (which she dubbed the "most beautiful rainbow I've ever seen in my life.") and took a couple of pictures of it on her phone camera as well.  If she emails them to me I shall be able to post them.

BK, I went back and re-read the Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills sections in KRITZER TIME just now...and if Hayley Mills (or Hayley Mills) reads them than she ought to be "unequivocally smitten"...They are as delightful and funny as I remember them.

Nobody here when I logged in. Oh, well.

I saw only a CSI: MIAMI episode today. Spent a lively hour on the phone with a dear friend, and otherwise that entertained out of town guests.

Looking at the lovely Patricia Morison in films like SONG OF THE THIN MAN and DRESSED TO KILL, one wonders why she didn't have a more important film career. She was gorgeous, had a lovely singing voice, and could act.

The haphazard nature of film stardom is one of the mysteries of the ages.

Classic kid quote of the day department:  We were over at the house where Betsy's parents are staying.  They have cable and I was channel-surfing, spending just a second or two on each station to see what was there.  Passed a news channel which was broadcasting the Thursday debate between Howard Dean and Richard Perle which took place right here in little ol' Portland.  The moderator turns to Howard Dean and says, "Governor Dean, I'd like you to put on your 'future hat' for a moment and--", at which point I change the channel.  Zach, my six year old, turns to me in a panicked state and exclaims, "Dad!  Turn back, turn back.  I want to see what his future hat looks like."  Momentary pause.  "Dad, what's a future hat?"

Hello, I must be going.  Its 11:34 inthe PM here.  lsat night after picking up the Vixter from my Mom's on my way home from work, I had to get her fed and then off to the father/daughter Girl Scout Dance, wher DH was to meet us.  Unfortunately, there was some sort of police activity a the station in Brookyn and he had to catch a subway to Penn, to catch a LIRR train home, of curse the subway connection at Penn was 2 miniuutes behind the train leaving fro Deer Park, so he wasn't going to be there for another hour FORTUNAELT, my neighbor, Mike, from  across the street was there with his two girls, and since it was a square dance he took the Vixter into his squar and she took turns dancing with his daughters until DH was able to make it.

Meantime, I left and met two of my girlfriends at a local Japanese Hibachi restaurant, GASHO'S.  We ended up at a table with six other women and a very funny chef, we ahd a wonderful time and I ate lovely shrimp and steak and rice and ginger sauce and it was marvelous, and as close as I will get to Chinese food this weekend.

Today was running around getting the errands done sort of day, so we went to to the IHOP for breakfast (our 15 year old waitress does some acting on Broadway and off Broadway as was telling us how she had been in Lion King for a month, but they let her go because she was "too white" and didn't fit in)

 and had Quiznos for lunch and pizza for dinner!

We watched our Mulan VHS as the Vixter wants us to rent Mulan 2 from Blockbuster and wanted to renew her aquaintance with the story

Then we played a rounsing game of LOTR Trivial Pursuit (DH picked it up today at Toys R Us for $8.99) and discovered that all three of us know WAY too much about these movies!!

Tomorrow is Sunbday School,church and the birthday party fpr our friend's 2 year old so I don;t expect to be around much tomorrow, talk among yourselves!!


BK congrats  on your new TV etc.  I cannpot remeber the brands of my first stero, but it was a 16th birthday present and consisted of two speakers and a turntable and I had it until I was about 20 when I repalced it with a system that had a tuner/receiver and casette deck!! My first TV I bought with my own money was a RCA 25" inch color TV I bought at Macy's at a Columbus Day sale in 1977  it cost $299.99 .  We replaced it only last year, it had graviatated from being the livingroom TV to the bedroom TV and only picked up about 4 channels but gosh it lasted me all that time! It was still workinmg when we repalced it but I wanted something cable ready and 3easlit connectable to a DVD/VCR

Well its bedtime for me!!

Oh, Ann I am sorry that you are dfeeling under the weather  \

~~~HEALTH VIBES~~~~~~~~

 for you.
Let me know when you need a bagel refill!!

Yes, the consarned rain began again about a half-hour ago.  It's stopped for now.  We really need a few days rest from this onslaught.  I can only tell you that if it doesn't stop I'm going out there with the bitch-slap machine.

Good Evening!

Wonderful evening tonight.  Dinner at Athens Taverna.  Piano recital at VCU - Andreas  Haefliger playing Beethoven, Bartok and Brahms.  Then dessert at the new French bistro in Carytown, CanCan.  Very noisy place, but that's the atmosphere they're trying for, so... The desserts were amazing - a molten chocolate cake that was actually molten(!), and an orange chiffon cake served with blood orange sorbet.  And the coffee was superb too!  We'll definitely be returning for a proper dinner there.  Lunch service started this past week, and brunch begins next week.

Now, I'm home watching SNL.... eh....

I didn't have time to partake of a Chinese dish today.  Mr. Grant Geissman and I had lunch, but he was hurried, so we went to the Sherman Oaks Marie Callendar's, where I had the exact same meal as yesterday - bacon cheeseburger and a salad.  The good news is that I did NOT give in to temptation and have the onion rings.

The rain may have stopped in the Oaks of Sherman but not here in the Wood of Holly.  

BK, re: your need for up-tempo songs for Mr. Haines...I do hope that one of those up-tempo ditties is going to be Point of No Return.

We've been languishing here on page seven for quite awhile...time to move on, people!  Are our Saturday nights that sad and empty that we have nothing interesting  or ribald to discuss...or merely so exciting and event-packed that none of us are in, except old duffers like me...

I didn't have time to partake of a Chinese dish today.

I didn't get (actually, take) the chance to go to Panda Express.  Last night when I ushered for "The Love List," the house manager was a friend of mine.  We talked and agreed to get together today and just spend some time together (no...not like that...just as friends) but he never called me. :( He said that he's house-sitting at two different houses and has gotten rid of his cell phone, so he doesn't have a phone at all yet, otherwise I would've called him.  I'm pretty sure that it was today that we were going to get together.  Anyway, I was able to watch the last two episodes of "Star Trek:  Enterprise," so I'm all caught up.  

Tomorrow, I'll be ushering for "Say Goodnight Gracie" with Frank Gorshin.  It's playing here in Olympia and I get to see it for free!  I thought that Jamie Farr was originally supposed to do it here, but Frank Gorshin is playing the role.  If it isn't known, the play was written by Rupert Holmes!

I'm thinking about something sweet.  I have a few more calories to play with since I didn't eat the onion rings.  I could make some toast and just have that, or I could go get some fat-free candy.  Whatever I'm going to do I'd better do while it's not raining.

DR Danise - Have you downloaded and installed all the necessary updates for your PDA's operating system?  I know for a WiFi card to work on mine, I have to update the software as well as "remount" it.
