DR Jeanne - I am moving the week before Thanksgiving. Loading the truck early in the week, and driving myself and the dog later in the week. I am hoping I don't run into too much snow and ice along the way.

Good morning, all! I decided to sleep in, and I realized that I had made plans to go to Toyland this morning and needed to do so. I am up,dressed, and on my first cup of coffee. I hope to leave very soon. I have several things to print out and bind, and I've got to finish with the DEAREST ENEMY orchestra parts for Rodgers & Hammerstein.

Woke up to discover that a friend of mine from the newspaper had died. He was a great photographer, someone who had actually made a living at it after he left the paper.

Rick had been ill lately with pneumonia, some rare strain that landed him in the hospital for 15 days and even when he was released, it was to a clinic and not home. I knew he was on his second round of antibiotics, but I guess nothing helped.

He was quite the ladies man, and I saw women all swarm about him. One of the funniest memories I have of him was when he was in a meeting with the three of us food writers. He saw lipstick on my boss' teeth and he leaned over, stuck a finger in her mouth and rubbed it off. She is this squat, roly-poly lump and she was equally appalled and delighted at that. We all laughed about that story for years.

I'm at Washington National Airport.   I was pleasantly surprised to be put in the TSA Precheck line, as I was the other day in LA.   I guess it has something to do with being a member of a frequent flyer program.  In that line you don't have to remove your shoes or belt or put your laptop or liquids in a tray.

But I can assure you that although the house appears decorated for the holidays, it is not decorated right now. This is a picture from a previous year, supplied by the landlord.


Yes, DR Ben - separate entrance, fortunately. And even a detached garage! For only 1 car now - we're on the top of the waiting list for a second. In case it, you know, snows.      :P

I'm a late-comer to GIANT, but loved it from the start, and that start was only several years ago when I first watched the DVD straight through.  I didn't yet have a flat panel HDTV, so I wasn't aware of the abysmal quality of that DVD transfer.  But I was also so incredibly wrapped up in the story that I probably would have tolerated it pretty well regardless.  Eventually having learned about the state of the film on home video, and finally having a great screen, I had no desire to revisit it till Warner had done their work.  There will be a very special evening set aside for this.

I've found I love films, whether "epics" or not, revolving around the late 19th/early 20th century development and growth of the US or its cities or industry or reigning families or whatnot.  THERE WILL BE BLOOD is a good one.  KANE and AMBERSONS.  CHINATOWN.  THE CARPETBAGGERS.  I'm painting with a broad brush, but all of these things relate to some extent.  Novels, too.  I'm sure there are many more such things to discover.

I thought you had to sign up for this.  I guess they did it for you.

My favorite part was not having to declare liquids.  When I could not take my belt off and put it back on they did not make me.  Of course I was getting a major pat down so I didn't understand the need to take my belt off.  Once I was able they made me do it again.

Back from the video shoot, but just for a second - must now be on my way to the theater.  New motor on the garage door has been spazzing out for the last two days and this morning it was really bad - so Garage Man is coming Monday morning to check it out - nothing like a new motor and springs to not work after four weeks.  Really annoying.  I don't think I can chance parking the motor car in there until it's working properly - it literally took me ten minutes to finally get it to close.

We must see photos of the new house when you get there DR SING DAW.

What a gorgeous place! I am quite envious. Was it originally flat? A house? Apartments?

Payphones are disappearing.  Where will Clark Kent change into Superman?

Very funny. I expected someone to complain that he was taking his clothes off in public.

I would like to have seen them speed that up at the end.  The biggest question to me was always "what did he do with his clothes?"


People often ask this. I have it on good authority that Superman rolls his clothes into tight little bundle and that, along with Clark Kent's glasses, fits neatly into a special pocket in his cape. He does need to be able to change back into his clothes, and therefore must have them with him.   :)

Home from Toyland! I worked for nine hours, edited and finished the string parts, scanned the corrected vocal score so that there is now a pdf file for every number, and I'm happy to have that much accomplished.

The problem once again is the goddamed bus service. I had to wait around 15 minutes for a No 5 that got me to Broadway and 61st, and then I waited 40 minutes fr a No 7 to get home.  In that 40 minute wait, one showed up so packed that I could never have sat, and then 25 minus later, after three No 5 buses and three104 buses, the sonofabitch showed up.Rook me one hour and45 minutes to get home. Damn. Effin MTA. Pathetic.

That works for me :)  His cape then protects his clothes and glasses from burning up when he jumps into burning buildings.

Am finally getting a chance to sit down after a day on the road and plenty of barbecue. The day ended with what I had made this mission for: BBQ crabs. They are not smoked, but dipped in a spicy, salt mix, then deep fried. They come six to a plate and despite eating all day, including the best barbecue I've had on whole journey, I ate every last crab on my plate. And I'm a happy camper.

Woke up to discover that a friend of mine from the newspaper had died. He was a great photographer, someone who had actually made a living at it after he left the paper.

Rick had been ill lately with pneumonia, some rare strain that landed him in the hospital for 15 days and even when he was released, it was to a clinic and not home. I knew he was on his second round of antibiotics, but I guess nothing helped.

He was quite the ladies man, and I saw women all swarm about him. One of the funniest memories I have of him was when he was in a meeting with the three of us food writers. He saw lipstick on my boss' teeth and he leaned over, stuck a finger in her mouth and rubbed it off. She is this squat, roly-poly lump and she was equally appalled and delighted at that. We all laughed about that story for years.

John, my condolences on the loss of your friend.  :(
