I wonder if I should be watching ARROWS.

It's Arrow and yes you should!

[ChasSmith]

Page Five U.K. HITCHCOCK SET ARRIVED TODAY Pancake Dance!

And I got my SHOCHIKU set!  A good day.

[Matthew]

I survived Costco, barely.  And I'm pretty sure I'm closer to moving to that island.  I hate people at the holiday season - and sometimes barely tolerate them the rest of the year.

Speaking of CDs and such, I have something to

Ask BK :

This is probably a stupid question, but are Kritzerland CD mixes created with traditional two-channel stereo playback in mind, even on today's multi-channel receivers?  Are there exceptions?

I was a late-comer to surround sound at home, setting up my first decent system only two years ago.  The receiver I chose needed to not only process movie tracks wonderfully, but also assume the duties of a traditional stereo amp in being the hub for turntable and other goodies.  (I added a decent outboard phono pre-amp.)  It was my belief then, and is now, that traditional stereo sources should be appreciated in their own element, not "processed" in any number of schemes by the receiver.  Not that I don't experiment now and then.  But I'm a purist at heart, and always force the system into plain old stereo when enjoying regular CDs and records and tapes.  I'll bet a lot of people don't pay much attention to that stuff, but it makes sense to me.

What the Hell did he say?

I think he is speaking Greek, DR TCB.

Must be speaking in tongues.  Call Hal Lin-Den!

[MBarnum]

Wonderful DR ChasSmith. Perhaps we will be watching GOKE, BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL both at the same moment!

[MBarnum]

I am looking forward to seeing all of the store ads in tomorrow's paper, even though it is unlikely that I will set foot out of my apartment at all on Black Friday.

[Laura]

I dunno. A tap-dancing hula sounds like a Stephen Findle kind of thing.

[Laura]

Thanks, John G.

Art Ginsburg, aka Mr. Food, has died. His daughter used to the music director at the Cohoes Music Hall back in the day when shows like "No Way to Treat a Lady" and "Angelina" and "Theda Bara and the Frontier Rabbi" got productions.

Yes! She was the MD for "Angelina," which almost had Carolee Carmello for its leading lady. My memory is that she was offered the role just after she was offered the tour of LES MIZ.

I liked her, but I've forgotten the MD's name. She left her husband and Albany to run off to Brooklyn with the handsome drummer at Cohoes. I don't remember his name either!

I didn't like Cohoes; it was a haunted ghost town: there were ghosts everywhere; it was terrifying walking down thw empty streets after dark, and my apartment above a pizza parlor was full of them. The Music Hall was also haunted but it wasalittle jewel boxof a theatre. Whatever happened to that awful director of "Angelina"? Hated him.

I thought her name was Ruth (not Ruth Bader Ginsburg), but I didn't see her mentioned in any of the obits. Are you thinking of David Levy? He also directed one of those off-Broadway "Tallulah" shows with Helen Gallagher.

The director was David Holdgrive, as I recall. The only thing he cared about in developing "Angelina" was taking the three young men off to rehearse their shirtless basketball number. Hated him.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

STAY WELL VIBES FOR BK!!

In fact, STAY WELL VIBES for all DRs!

[Jeanne]

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DR KEVIN!!

[Jeanne]

Having a lot of Internet problems today. I suspect it's a least partly due to lots and lots of traffic on the system.

[Jeanne]

Speaking of traffic, I went out briefly to run an errand. I did not get on a freeway, I did not drive by a large shopping center, but I did encounter lots of traffic on the way home. No surprise, I guess.

[Jeanne]

JRand, I, too, enjoyed your CRUCIBLE pics.

Holdgrive. That's right. I remember. And you think a little Josh Logan behavior is bad thing?

[Jeanne]

JohnG, I'm glad you're all getting paid on time after all.

[Jeanne]

I'm pleased that Cillaliz is cooking Thanksgiving dinner JUST BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO! Enjoy.

[Jane]

From DR Ginny:

DR Jane, the left foot that I had operated on 4+ years ago is fine, but it will be a long, long time before I'll consider having anything done to the right.  If ever.

I'm glad it completely healed.  I wasn't sure if it still bothered you at times.  Does the right one bother you?  Maybe you will trust this new doctor to do it.  You might at least discuss it.

[Jeanne]

Ron, I think your router experience is pretty common. When I was renting a room from a friend my router was piggybacking off her PC and my Mac worked fine. Since moving into this apartment TWO seasoned computer consultants have tried unsuccessfully to get the same router to work with my Mac, with no PC in between. The manufacturer's tech service rep was no help whatsoever--couldn't even read the script very well. I solved the problem by purchasing a $6 Ethernet cable. Inelegant, yes, but it does the job. One day I'll buy a new router--a Mac router--and try again.

When the rest of the show needs work? Josh Loganwas smarter than that. David was no Josh Logan.

Most excellent vibes and xylophones for a speedy, safe recovery for Dee Dee’s mother!!

[Jane]

DR John vibes those pay check aren't too late!

[Jane]

So sad, we lost another Mickey Mousketeer...and she was living near DR JRand62!

http://www.dailyfreeman.com/articles/2012/11/21/entertainment/doc50ad1d462d11b349639386.txt

I will need to pop in one of my Mickey Mouse Club dvds, because I can't quite recall her. But sad, nevertheless.

Sweet photo.  Thank you for the link.

[Jane]

I did  a jail visit this morning then told Edith we should just close.  It's going to be over 70 degrees today.  I'm guessing it's about the last of Indian Summer, so we better enjoy it.  i've got the windows open and the cats are thrilled

I bet DR Vixmom wishes she worked for you.

[Doug R]

Cold be-gone vibes to bk.

[Jane]

It seems that somehow the payroll situation has been straightened out. Yeah.

[Jane]

I wonder if I should be watching ARROWS.

I don't think you would like it.

[Jane]

Dr MBarnum, Allan came for a short visit today.  He brought Keith's new iPad 4.
