How long are you staying in LA, DR Hisaka?  

I'm packing a coat as a "Just in Case".  I know that most peoples idea of "cool" is my idea of "Freezing cold".

Last year the hotels in Bethesda and NY didn't have the heat turned on yet.  I needed several extra blankets.

OH!  My bad!  I thought I had included you with the original group...  The Questionnaire will be on its way to you momentarily.

You don't "really" need it, but just in case...

LOL it could also be warm.  Last year I went hunting to buy a cooler top-didn't find one so I just suffered-LOL  My first couple of days there it was very chilly & slowly warmed up as the days passed.

Jose where is Columbus Circle?

Columbus Circle is at the Southwest corner of Central Park.  Basically, it's 59th/60th & Broadway-Central Park South.

I want to hit The Time Warner Center - which is a complex of shops, restaurants and hotels.  And it houses the largest Williams-Sonoma on the east coast!

Time Warner Center- The Shops at Columbus Circle

*And the views from the third and fourth floor balconies are wonderful!  And they even have some comfy seating up there too.

Jose - this is someplace else I've not visited - glad it's on the tour!

:)

The place was only completed about a year ago, and some of the restaurants in the "Restaurant Collection" are still "in process" - much to the frustration of many an affluent diner.  *However, I did notice that Per Se actually "offers" some "souvenirs" - they have copies of their daily menus available at their display stand.  -I actually went into a mild shock when I saw that the Prix Fixe menu started at $265 per person!  And that was just for Lunch!?!?!?

And, No, I am not treating.

;)

But the TWC really is a nice place to check out - even though some people may call it too industrial and too commercial.  But, hey, it's New York City.

DR MATTH did you know that during the original release of IT! THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE - the producers and a "world famous insurance company" offered $50,000 to anyone who could prove that IT was not living on Mars (another name for death, by the way) at that time?

I saw that poster on the back of the DVD cover, but the writing was SO tiny. I'm glad you cleared up what they were offering the money for!

I just got home from the documentary Paper Clips. Really powerful. It was followed by Phillip Gans, a Holocaust survivor telling us his story. It was a very emotional evening. They gave us each a paper clip and a rubber bracelet with "Tolerance" and Mr. Gans id number on it.  I plan to wear mine for quite awhile. Tomorrow it will be shown to all the 8th graders in town and Mr. Gans will tell them his story.  What a great lesson in Tolerance.

After doing my cleaning chore of the day, I settled in with the DVD of A DELICATE BALANCE. None of the American Film Theatre DVDs is particularly sterling looking (even though they are anamorphic transfers), but I'm still glad to have this. I've always liked the play and think Paul Scofield is just wonderful in this. Katharine Hepburn's performance is a bit too flowery for my taste. I would rather have seen someone like Jean Simmons or Teresa Wright or Kim Hunter do Agnes in the film. Hepburn, of course, was a much bigger film star than any of them at that point, so I'm not surprised they went with her.

On that DVD was also an interesting interview with Edward Albee which I watched and also an interview with the director of photography for the movie (and also for THE HOMECOMING). Both had some wonderful stories to tell.

I was able to get through the more than 2 hour film and those interviews because the football game on CBS ran long pushing back the start time for COLD CASE, so I just skipped it all together. This is typical during pro football season. I miss more episodes than I see, but I catch back up with them during those months (December, January, March) when they air reruns.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, like LOST earlier in the week, didn't seem to have skipped a beat. The show was funny, earnest, quirky, excellent. Great getting to see all the Wisteria Lane residents again.
