Well, you've read the notes (snap, snap), you know the metaphysical aspects of the notes (snap, snap), and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're at 77 Sunset Strip (snap, snap) right now, having supper next door at Dino's Lodge.

And the word of the day is: FOLIAGE!

Fun fact: In the Dragnet episode I just finished was a scene with an actor playing a cop - had about three lines. The actor was Kent McWhirter according to the end credits. Of course, Kent McWhirter would, just a little while later, change his name to Kent McCord and would star as an officer on Adam 12.

I think I shall listen to Mr Don Ralke's version of "77 Sunset Strip" and the Cha Cha version too. Then I shall follow that with Mr Roger Smith's album and then perhaps Mr Ed Byrne's tracks.
For dessert - Miss Connie Stevens.
Ah! Warner Bros Records.

And to link my posts: Almost one hit wonder group "The Cascades second single was "The Last Leaf" - also on the Warner Bros label.

HI all. I heard from JMK tonight but didn't get the call from Jane. I'll call her cell tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the get together and I'll have my camera too.

I am very pleased with the BB6 twist and have already voted for Kaysar 4 times via both web and text. I will have to keep voting for him. I really want to see him back in the house.

I need to get some sleep. I had a lovely time at the Chinese Garden followed by a lovely time at the Blue Hour with many oysters and scallops, followed by a basil gimlet and coconut ice cream at the Saucebox. It was a lovely evening, but now I must sleep.

Cillaliz, I hope to see you tomorrow (today, actually)! I was being wishywashy about going or not (WHAT WAS I THINKING??

) and would like to meet you and see Jeff again (it's only been a month) and Jane (we met in person last year). I wasn't able to get my sister's boyfriend's digital camera (it takes great pictures) but I might be able to get my sister's camera. It takes very good pictures, too, but I don't know how to use it as well as the other camera. It should be okay, though.

Now I must go to sleep. Goodnight all!

Finished another Dragnet episode - this one, for nostalgia freaks, was the motherlode. Main scene shot in the Bank of America at Universal City. Then, a long driving sequence down Riverside Blvd, first in Burbank, then heading towards Laurel Canyon. There was Colfax as it used to be in 1967. Then the best - they turn right on Laurel and there is Gelson's (with only half the parking lot - the other half was a Shell station. There was the corner where there is a strip mall, a Starbuck's and my mail place, which was then Riverside Market. There was Jack in the Box, looking exactly the same. Then they go further north and end up on my old street, St. Clair (although way north of where I lived). Then the rest of the show takes place on a "freeway off ramp where one doesn't exist - near Victory and Laurel Canyon - they used a little alley in back of the JC Penny's and made it look like an onramp. What fun!!!

DR JMK mentioned yesterday;

Announcing my return and beating TCB to the punch in one post (no mean feat), may I ask: could this site be any more gay?

And DR STUART mentioned;

For some reason, I had been holding my tongue on DR Hisaka's comment. It seemed like just a way-too-easy target.
We love you, DR Hisaka, but the word "gay" has far too many definitions around these here parts. Though just the other day someone (it might have been errant DR/DB Jay) mentioned to me that they wished they could use the word in its original meaning, just has DR Hisaka has.

I’d like to apologize if I made someone unpleasant in using the word. I didn’t mean it that way. Since I’ve seen the word in some previous posts and in dear BK’s notes and I felt I could use it in its original meaning here at HHW, I only used the word.

Good morning!

I saw it! I saw it! I saw the shuttle and the space station going overhead this morning!

I had the news on and they said for you go outside right now you would see them going overhead in about one minute. I did and I DID! How cool is that?!

Have a happy and safe day everyone!

I have a shuttle err make that bus to run and catch.

Hi Hisaka, ICU!

DRHisaka, I don't think you need to apologize to anyone for any comment. HHW is a very gay site in any connotation of the word. You said nothing unpleasant, so do not worry about it.

DRDanise, just as long as you're not abducted by aliens; I already have a few of those in my family.

I wouldn’t worry about the word “Gay” DR Hisaka. I think everyone knew what you meant. Words change meanings over the years.

Hey DR Elmoore! I am not Spock!

Early morning clan I am in now.

I'm listening to Cabaretdio right now. It's an off-shoot of Accu-Radio. At the moment Daryl Sherman and Dave McKenna are performing Perdidio

Try as I might, I cannot got RadioAOL to work on my office computer. I can get to the site and click all the right buttons and it says "loading" and then just sits there like so much fish. Oh, well. I have other options.

I don't know if we will watch anything tonight. Anthony is still laying abed to stay off his foot and since it's very hot (80 degrees already at 7:05am) we are staying in the bedroom which is the only air-conditioned room in our small abode. There is no television in the bedroom although if we got really inventive, we could watch something on the computer but the monitor is too far away. Oh, well. We have our books and our CDs and we are happy. I'll be in the office tomorrow from now untill October 22nd (not consecutively, just on Saturdays) but the heat is supposed to break so it should be better. I need to go to K-Mart and look for a new wastebasket after work tomorrow. I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond yesterday but I refuse to pay $40.00 for a plastic wastebasket. I then went across the street to the Container Store and ran into the same problem. They have "trendy" trash containers for $40 and $60 dollars but little in between. They did have a $12.99 wastebasket but it was the size of a small child, far too big for where we put it. Who knew that buying a wastebasket would be such a chore. If I can't find anything at K-Mart I may take the PATH train out to Jersey City and go to the Target. There is no Target near me. I know there are locations in Brooklyn and Queens but it's actually closer to take the PATH Train from the corner and go two stops with a 3 minute walk.

So that's my weekend.

Hello, Mr. Moore. According to the light, you're still on-line with me.

Later, gaters.

The street that wears the fancy label.
That's glorified in song and fable.
The most exciting people pass you by.
Including a private eye.

You meet the highbrow and the hipster.
The starlet and the phony tipster.
You see most every kind of gal and guy.
Including a private eye!

They were doing their weekly routine maintenance on the network computer network here last night, so by the time I tried to log back on last night, I wasn't able to, so I went to bed.

Exciting, huh?
