Marty and Buster were raising a ruckus, barking at something, so I went to take a look. In the lot next door, where everything has been cleared so the rain can erode all the dirt away, was a fox! He (or she) was a coppery red, with a long coppery red tail.

Of course, the moment I called to der B to come take a look, he (or she) scooted into the woods next to the crick.

THAT'S the sort of thing you don't see in the city!

That's one thing I miss about our living on the five acres when I was growing up. We had all kinds of things that turned up.

How cool to see a fox!

And the word of the day is: GREGARIOUS!

Ah yes, Greg-Arias. Back in the middle ages, before operas, there was a brief period when, in the middle of a chant, the Gregorian monks would actually break into a song, with melody! The whole thing came to a halt, however, when the Abbot decided the monks were spending too much time crowded around the organ, singing what suspiciously sounded like show tunes. Party pooper, that's what the Abbot was, a gol-durn party pooper.

We have learned not to put coffee table books on our coffee tables. This dates back to our first collection of dogs, when one of the Scotties, Jocko, would snack on the covers if he got the chance. (He also had a taste for music, loving the score to The Little Mermaid so much that he crunched three copies of the CD!)

Fortunately, our bookshelves have adjustable shelving, so these large books can be stored vertically!

My favorites would have to be Hershfeld On Line and The Encyclopedia of Walt Disney Animated Characters. Der Brucer's favorites include a couple of books on Ramesses II and Tutankhamun, and the Hart Thou Swell, Thou Witty. (It was his book on Dali that Jocko devoured.)

Gottfried's BROADWAY MUSICALS sat on my coffee table in my den for many years, but it was recently replaced by BROADWAY MUSICALS: The 101 GREATEST MUSICALS OF ALL TIME. What a fabulous book! After reading the whole thing all the way through, I still find myself thinking about a show and flipping to it in the book and luxuriating with the pictures and text.

I have Ken Haak's SLEEPING BEAUTIES (male eye candy) on the coffee table in my living room, but I've been thinking about replacing it with possibly TALLULAH.

OK, off to finish up THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK on DVD and then get to more of the things on the DVR which I haven't gotten to yet (WITHOUT A TRACE, THE MAIDS, ALIAS).

Good Morning!

Hmm... Let's just hope this sinus/throat stuff is just allergy/theatre dust related... Hmm... Otherwise, I'm feeling fine, so I won't ask for Vibes.

Yet.

DR MattH - Ah... Those Ken Haak books... Is "Sleeping Beauties" the first one? I remember buying a Ken Haak book for a dear friend of mine - actually, he was the first person I came out to - when I was in high school. I still remembering being sooo anxious buying a copy of that book at B. Dalton. Thankfully, the clerk happened to be an actor in town with whom I had done some shows, so... That helped to ease some of my "embarrassment" at the time.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #39 on:** May 21, 2005, 08:21:56 AM »

Well, let me continue to clear out the cobwebs here...

Again, safe travels to BK.

Continued Recovery and Good Health Vibes to DRs tomovoz and elmore.

Continued Employment Vibes to DRs Jed and Jrand.

Etc., etc., etc...

I'll be back after tonight's show.

Laters...

Today is National Waitstaff Day, and National Stawberries and Cream Day.

It is also National Bike to Work Day. Why the blazin' heck this is being held on a Saturday is beyond my understanding. In fact, I wouldn't hold a holiday like this at all!

Not too long ago, locally, a young woman who was riding her bike, quite properly in the bicycle lane, was murdered by a careless driver who wanted to make a right turn and didn't see the smaller vehicle in her way. And the driver wasn't charged with murder the way she should have been. Bicycles aren't a safe way of getting around, not with the way some drivers out there behave.

MR BK is over New Mexico even as we speak.

You can track him at this link:

http://www.flytecomm.com/cgi-bin/trackflight

He is on JetBlue Airways Flight Number 202

I also like the David Selznick book - it is VERY big. I will also add DOUBLE EXPOSURE and DOUBLE EXPOSURE TWO large photos by Roddy McDowall.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 21, 2005, 08:53:07 AM »

Looks like he will be flying right over my house this time.

Oh, I don't know, I have seen a lot of foxes in The City.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #44 on:** May 21, 2005, 09:13:22 AM »

Over the Kansas panhandle at 551 ground MPH.

DR SWW your fox story reminds me of the evening I was at a fancy house in Northern Indianapolis at a cast party. I was sitting in the family room having a drink when I happened to look out the glass door to see a family of possums running around the swimming pool. You don't see THAT in New York or California either.

T.O.D.

Currently I have a a book on my coffee table about the World Trade Center, called, strangely enough, WORLD TRADE CENTER.

I used to have several different coffee table books about the Titanic. But everytime I would buy a new one and put it on the coffee table; after about the fourth day it would break in half and sink to the carpet below.

Ah yes, I remember when Playgirl first came out, a friend and his partner were in the drug store:

--Look at that. Do you think your girl friend would like that magazine?

--Oh yeah, I think my girl friend would like it.

--Why don't you buy it for your girl friend?

--Yes, I think I will buy it for my girl friend. (to clerk) I would like to buy this magazine for my girl friend.

BK is currently over Arkansas. Altitude 35,000 ft. Ground speed 540 mph. Arrival time 15:05.

I am sorry my Joe and I will not be GRAGARIOUS at Joe Allen tonight, which is EGREGIOUS. (Both from the Latin grex, gregis [herd, flock] akin to Esperanto grego) We will not be in the herd, we will be out of the herd.

Joe is currently undergoing a change of medications and is down for the count.

Looks like BK just did a hard left.

I also like Mordden's R/H and Broadway Musicals the 101 Greatest Shows.

So many wonderful books!
