And yes, I have returned from the Upper West Side and a visit with the ever dear Larry Moore. We had a great evening watching Chad Mitchell and his Trio. What memories. There are some great moments, some moving and some funny. I remembered going to the Minneapolis Public Library and discovering the Chad Mitchell Trio records and falling in love with the political and funny songs and now some almost 40 years later I have all the records on CD.

Larry, in spite of his denial, is a great host. We had ice cream and cake after Mexican food and before we watched we dished a little. That was fun too.

I'm now tired and stuffed so off to bed I go. I must do laundry in the morning and I'm meeting a friend at the Greenmarket early tomorrow morning so he can give me a gift he picked up while he was in Mexico.

Later, gaters.

I think "Reigny Knight In Georgia" may be in DR Elmore's collection. or NOT!

DR Ben - did the C M Trio sing their wonderful version of "Marvellous Toy".

Yes, they did. There was a performance on Hootenanny from 1963 and then another in the 2007 reunion concert. I love that song.

At the Fringe show I saw lat night, I met a fellow whose last name is Landau (he knew my last name was the same as his from when I picked up Skip and my tickets), and he turned out to be the brother of David Lander (of Laverne and Shirley fame) and therefore the uncle of Natalie Lander (of the Legally Blonde reality show). I was tempted to mention BK, but I figured that while David Lander would know BK, his brother would possibly not know BK personally.

To me, chocolate sauce is not hot fudge...not by a long shot. I have chocolate sauce and ice cream at home too, but it's sugarless chocolate sauce. $:-\$ When it's mixed into something or there are many flavors to hide the sugarlessness, it's not bad, but it's not good enough on its own with just plain ice cream. However, Peanut Buster Parfaits are on sale at Dairy Queen right now! When I want a good-sized hot fudge sundae, I get a Peanut Buster Parfait without the peanuts...because I can. Now, that's good stuff.

No, chocolate sauce and hot fudge are not the same. But after driving all day, chocolate sauce in the kitchen sounded better than hot fudge at the DQ

Since you ask, I will tell you: the HMO has been extremely difficult in accommodating that.

I assumed that. It's just crazy to me that they would make you keep the same doctor after the problems you had before. But, I understand that an HMO is an HMO.

I just checked and was indeed surprised that the Chad Mitchell Trio did not ever have a top 40 hit in the USA. "Marvellous Toy" was more popular in OZ.

I'd also forgotten the John Denver connection.

I had a dress just like that, but of course it was longer (knee-length) in high school! Mine was light blue. How funny.

I also adored Dr. Joe Gannon (Chad Everett) on MEDICAL CENTER.

Had a wonderful dinner with my friend Gregg whom I don't get to see often enough. We had lots to chitchat about. He's auditioning for DEATHTRAP in two weeks.

When we got back to my house, I told him to please pardon me but I had to finish the bonus features on THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. He's never seen the movie, so he found them quite fascinating.

Matt H. · « **Reply #313 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:17:23 PM »

Then, I showed him three sequences from the film in HD which promptly knocked his socks off.

While I'm sure he would have loved to see the entire movie, I had watched it twice already today and just wasn't up to seeing it a third time. I let him choose what we would watch tonight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #314 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:19:12 PM »

He wanted something in high definition, so I let him choose from my stacks of unopened Blu-rays and HD-DVDs. He settled on DELIVERANCE which he had never seen.

It's a wonderful movie, of course, and the Blu-ray version is the best I've ever seen on home video, but the element they used for the transfer wasn't superb. Many shots looked nice and dimensional, but not all of it did. Still, he really loved the movie and appreciated the extra clarity.

Matt H. · « **Reply #315 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:19:46 PM »

I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see tonight's PSYCH which I'll probably watch while I'm cooking and eating lunch.

Good night.

I hope that Jane will feel up to rejoining us soon.

Sometimes I buy the unflavored LaCroix and add fruit juice to it. Then you can have whatever flavor you want and can change it every can or bottle. I really enjoy it with cherry, cranberry or even grape juice. I've done it with lemon and lime too

Since Orangina is so expensive, I mix real orange juice half and half with Poland Springs sparkling water. I call it "Polish Orangina".

It is so strange, I have not heard about a single person I know going to Europe this year!

Friends of ours went to Ireland and we saw their photos last week. They went to a lot of the places we recommended, and allthough they were there in July, there were hardly any tourists! Much less than we saw on our pre-tourist season trip we took in May several years ago.

Sacco and Vanzetti is playing at a festival in Austria in March. I've never been to Austria, so I've been thinking...

Heading down to bed myself. Hope to get a longer night's sleep tonight than last night.

But you're not here anymore....guess I'll go to sleep.

The Blood Bank called and said they need my blood type. When I hesitated the woman got really pushy...I'm going to go in the morning. But, man, the way she talked you'd think she was a vampire or something.
