And now...


"My Foolish Heart"

The entire score to Sunday In the Park with George - especially "Lesson #8".

Is this the Kurt Weill or the Victor Young song?

I wish I had written:

Rhapsody in Blue
Slaughter on Tenth Avenue
The Warsaw Concerto


Joanna
Sometimes a Day Goes By
O Holy Night
The Man That Got Away
Being Alive
I'm Still Here
Once upon A Time
New Tork, New York
Over the Rainbow


What do you mean, "I sound gay"?

Any chance you could help me out here in Richmond next week?


Ha!  You might be sorry if I did.  I'm quite merciless when it comes to cleaning out other people's clutter.

But I have done a fair to middlin' job with my own stuff, today.  The boxes are all sliced and tied and ready for Monday's recycling pick-up.  Some of the sturdier boxes are now packed with computer programming books I no longer want, ready to be driven to the Goodwill, along with a bag of clothing.  Unwanted magazines are bundled and the few I want to save articles from are placed next my scanner.  All in all, a good day's work.

Just finished watching the DVD of Lil Abner..what memories that brought back of our Phoenix High School production! LOL!

What stumps me is how our high school was able to put on such a provocative play....and no one complained! It really is a very sexually suggestive show.

This play was one of the few, or only, times that the school jocks and the drama people ever together for any amount of time. Lil Abner was played by one of the biggest football stars at our school and of course the "after" husbands were all the really built athletes...I don't recall any of them actually speaking to any of us theater people, however. LOL!

Thanks you Jose, TCB, elmore, DtM and MBarnum.

We had a wonderful time in Portland.  Keith enjoyed driving my car there for one last trip.  A bit teary eyed I said goodbye to my cherished car, but I shall keep all the good memories of young children and Echo which are part of the car I had for thirteen years.  Bryan was very pleased with how good it looked after we had it detailed.  Shortly after we passed the car along to Bryan I received a call from the Toyota dealership informing us my new car had arrived.  Keith is in the car now trying to figure out how to work the satellite radio and the other hi-tech gadgets in it, such as setting the clock to the correct time.  ;D

And what does it mean that I'd agree on a number of your choices?

Also...
Piano Concerto in F (Gershwin)
Trois Chansons (Debussy)
What Can You Lose? (Sondheim)
Ave Maria (Beibl)
...and, as Jose said, most of the score of SITPWG (especially "Children and Art" for me)

We had a successful trip accomplishing the shopping we needed to get done, a great visit with Bryan and a superb meal on Keith’s birthday at our favorite Indian restaurant Plainfield's Mayur http://www.plainfields.com/ .  For our appetizer we had Papadums and Somosa’s, both of which were delicious but the papadums were incredible.  For dinner Keith and I shared the Malai Kofta and the vegetable Bhaji.  Bryan and his girlfriend shared the spicy version of Malai Kofta and something else.  To round the meal out we had naan and a special bottle of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc.

The best part of the trip-we really like Bryan’s new girlfriend.  :) :D :D

We returned home with a bag of egg (for me) and sour dough (for Keith) bagels from Noah’s and chocolates and Jordon Almonds from the Lebanon store. http://www.verdunchocolates.com/index.htm

DR MATTH - I like THREE COINS IN THE FOUNTAIN, although it goes on for a LONG time and some of the process shots are very obvious - but the scenery is lovely and the performers are attractive.  The only fly in the strega for me is the always irritating Maggie McNamara - what a pill.  Giving nearly the same grating performance she gives in THE MOON IS BLUE - and completely self-involved with her own cuteness and coyness, she NEARLY NEARLY sinks the enterprise for me.  It is saved by Jean Peters and Dorothy McGuire and Clifton Webb AND the scenery and music.  But it is a tough battle for them.

Do they still have a Teuscher's Chocolates near Rockefeller Center?  Their champagne truffles used to be better than sex.  They closed the store in downtown Seattle.

If an adult teacher/school administrator cannot handle a five year old girl who is throwing a temper tantrum without having the police come in and handcuff the child, then that person has no business working in a school.

And you are partially correct TCB, I did interview one of the muscle guys from LIL ABNER, the one in the pink swim trunks,  Mr. Gordon Mitchell who one year later would move to Italy and become a huge star there!

I have spoken with, but not yet interviewed, one of the other guys...Mr. Brad Harris.  Nick Dimitri is another of the muscle guys in LIL ABNER and he is still working today as a stunt man! He and Gordon Mitchell were part of Mae West's troup during her 1950s nightclub act.

And DR Elmore3003, I could have sworn, while watching LIL ABNER today, that Vic Seipke was one of the muscle guys...but upon closer inspection I guess it was not.

"L'il Abner" was a joy for kids and staff when one of the Schools at which I taught staged it in the pre PC days. I don't think a School would do it now. Another School at which I taught staged "How To Succeed..." and the show was boycotted by the PC Staff of our junior campus.

Elmore-LOL.  At the moment I’m eating a little squares of milk chocolate with little crispy & almond toffee pieces-oh so yummy.

Thanks JRand.  The color is called phantom grey.  I don’t know what that means but to me it looks like a chocolate grey.

TCB Teuscher's seem to be everywhere I go these days, but then I haven’t been to Seattle recently.  ;D At first I really liked them, especially the milk chocolate with caramel, but I have decided they are too sweet and way over priced for the pleasure I get from eating them.

I've always admired GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT and disagree with those who think it's dated now. I think some of the messages it offers about prejudice are as vital and meaningful today as ever.

If anything fails to ring true, it's the happy ending forced on the story. Otherwise, it's entirely relevent today about prejudice of all kinds.


When I first saw the movie I felt the same way about the ending, until I read the book.  The happy ending was simply the tool to get people to change the way they think.  And not just those who are obviously prejudice but those who aren’t but don’t speak up.   I realized even I wasn’t speaking up.  I  often receive “compliments” about not being “typical”.  After reading the book I realized simply nodding was not the correct response.

Good Evening!

Dishes washed.  Refrigerator cleaned.  Windshield wiper fluid re-filled.  Coolant topped off.  Floor vacuumed.  And showered.  Well, I showered, not the floor.

:-P

Notice how "packing" is missing from that list....

Ah, well...
