DR WFO - May I talk to you briefly Saturday evening about my son's recent Calc II experiences at the University of Cincinnati?

Nice to have you back, BTW.

What a wonderful day. Everyone jetting in to the Big Apple for the opening. Yes it is like an MGM movie! Yes we must have photographs, so that those of us in the hinterlands can pretend we are there!

Good morning folks. Well, it’s hard to believe that the time to go is nearly here. Just a few more hours, less then a day now, and I shall follow our host on a journey to the New City of York.

I shall not be traveling as light as our host. I fear I play my own brand of “What If” and have packed for every contingency. The big suitcase, the suit bag and the carry on are all coming with me.

So, don’t worry, DRElmore, I think I shall have enough clothes to be warm. If not, there’s always Macy’s. The only item I do not have are ear muffs—they don’t sell them down here (that I could find) but I did get a nice thick stocking type hat. It fits over my ears so they should be ok. I also remembered that I had bought some Tote? (not sure if that’s how you spell it) boots for the last time I was going to be there in March.

I have lots of odds and ends to take care of today. Going to get fresh bread and lunch meats and various other sun dried things to make sure Mom is comfortable. She is doing much, much better. Thank you for asking, DearReaderLaura.

Concerts, well, I guess the most memorable would be the Michael Ball concert I attended in SLC last year. I have seen Neil Diamond, Meat Loaf, the Monkees and Michael Crawford in concert but they are about all. I’m not really into concerts.

Guess I’d better get going so I can rest this afternoon. Three AM will come early. Can’t WAIT to meet you all! New York City, Here I come!

Ah - favorite TV MOVIES:

A Case of Rape with a stunning Elizabeth Montgomery performance

Night of Terror - with Valerie Harper witnessing a murder and being chased by the murderer

The Point - an animated movie with music originally by Harry Nilsson

And others, I am sure.

Concerts:

4 Girls 4 - with Helen O'Connell, Rose Marie, Margaret Whiting, Rosemary Clooney - what a great night of music

Sarah Brightman - surprisingly good show, she is funny

Los Diavolos - an Italian dance-gymnastic troupe

Best concert for me was Liza Minnelli in 1985. She was still at the top of her game, and she was sensational. I'll never forget "I Love a Piano" entirely delivered on a barstool including choreography that absolutely stopped the show cold. An amazing night.

Hi DRWFO!!

OMG - how could I forget Neil Diamond!! He was out supporting THE JAZZ SINGER - and he put on a GREAT show!

The bottom three vote getters on AMERICAN IDOL this week were all women, I think symbolic of the talent gap between the women and men this year. I have to say I think Lindsey is a better singer than Mikalah, but she is such a nonentity on the stage with no presence or spark that I wasn't at all surprised that Mikalah received more votes. I would really like to see Mikalah gone next week and Nikko the week after. Then, the competition will have nothing but good singers left to compete against each other.

I put in the new MARY POPPINS (well, new for me; I found it at Circuit City for $11.99 this week) last night, and I was blown away by the new Disney Enhanced Theater Mix in 5.1 Dolby. Never have I heard that much bass in the soundtrack to that film. And though I thought the transfer was starting out a bit dark, the interiors all look just fine, at least as far as I got into it. Will hopefully finish it today.

I saw Tony Bennett at the Westbury Music Fair on Long Island in '88 or '89 I think.. He was wonderful. He put his mike down at one point and sang"I Left My Heart in San Francisoco" without any amplification, amazing the way that man could sing and his voice just filled the place (granted it's a relatively small venue but still!)

And with NCAA basketball wiping out the CBS lineup of procedurals tonight, I will be able to watch figure skating on ESPN or a DVD movie or TV show. It's nights like this that I'm glad I have a DVD library and cable.

Awww, JRand, I only wish you and the other could be there.

I was going to mention about Denise Nickerson playing "Amy" on Dark Shadows. I never would have guessed that picture was her.

And a happy St. Paddy's Day to one and all. I think I will watch LITTLE NELLIE KELLY on laserdisc today in honor of the occasion. Might do that tonight in place of network TV.

DR Ben, I forgot to thank you for the wonderful directions to the book signing. Rest assured, I did a copy/paste and they are in my PDA to take with me.

DR GINNY I am so jealous that you saw Van Cliburn and Bernstein rehearsing....oh....oh...my

vixmom · « **Reply #44 on:** March 17, 2005, 08:25:04 AM »

I am getting so excited to finally meet everyone!

I am very jealous of WFO since I must miss the book signing. I will force him to memorize it and relate it all to me in excricuating detail, including the singing!!

DR JOSE, Tumi clothes are the collaboration of Japanese fashion designer and Tumi, and possibly the clothes yet are sold only at Tumi flag-ship shops in Japan. They have shirts, suits, jackets and coats only for men for the moment and these are all in black–and-white. I think those are stylish.

I shall bring my littel camera and take as many pictures as I can to post on this here site for those of you that we will be missing dreadfully
