Good news about Callie.

I don't eat Zingers but popcorn often gives me a stomach ache so I try not to eat too much of it.

I am part of a small, intimate, private group on FB. I was asking someone there a question and started to type DR.

I thought I had a do-nothing day, but alas… I spent two hours at a local Thai place with Nick Redman, Julie Kirgo and Andrea Marcovicci - she signed some booklets for The Front Blu-ray. Then I went directly to the Studio Cafe for my late lunch meeting and going in detail through the Li'l Abner script and score. That also took two hours. Then I picked up a package and now I'm finally home.

all around us there were snow storms and blizzards. We had rain and some snow that melted when it landed. It's really kind of strange. Now it's just windy as all get out

The ski slopes in Washington State have gotten six feet of new snow in the last five days!! I guess we will be having a very good Spring Skiing Season.

I also love Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. A.H. Presents is on at 2 am and 2:30 am EST on Antenna TV and The A.H. Hour is on opposite on ME TV.

Lucky for them. Mt. Ashland didn't get any yesterday and only has 8-12 inches. They are still closed.

I second that! Thank goodness for Antenna TV and MeTV. Since I don't have cable/satellite and can't afford it right now, these networks along with MOVIES! TV offer a great alternative to the regular bill of fare on the broadcast channels.

Good evening, all!

Coming in late today. Been running amok, trying to get things going here now that I'm home again. And happy to be out of the cold. Monday, when I left Maine, it was 19. Today in Glendale, 81. My body's not sure what hit it, but it's happy.

Also dealing with a family health issue, which thankfully is manageable. Speaking of which, my younger brother who had open heart surgery in November (3 weeks after his wedding, yikes) is doing incredibly well - back to work and spirits high.

Other than that, lots of music to learn here for a few things next week, including Krtizerland rehearsal on Monday. And I really need a nice lottery win tonight. Just sayin'.

TOD:
Island - Rear Window, I think.
First - Birds

I hope everyone is doing well here. I need to read about what's going on and catch up.

I don't think I've ever seen Torn Curtain or Topaz.

My least favorite Hitchcock is his version of Juno and the Paycock. Dull. I even like the weirdness of Jamaica Inn over that.

John G. · « **Reply #107 on:** February 20, 2014, 05:48:26 PM »

Started watching The Sundowners. Have never seen this movie. Enjoyable cast, great score. Fun so far.

I was very bad tonight. I had pasta with dinner. Should not have done that. My blood sugar will be high tomorrow. But it tasted so good. Was served with romano-crusted chicken breast.

Jane · « **Reply #109 on:** February 20, 2014, 05:54:47 PM »

DR ryacko I'm glad your brother is doing well.

I like trips home to LA in the winter. When we lived on the East Coast I preferred going in July or August to escape the humidity.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** February 20, 2014, 05:56:08 PM »

I was in the low 80s here today, too, DR Ryacko. My feet felt warm for a change.

ryacko · « **Reply #111 on:** February 20, 2014, 06:14:06 PM »

The winter back there is not over by any means, but it is for me, and I couldn't be happier.

What is with perfectly reasonable people becoming complete morons on Facebook? Someone posts an article, well, "article" from some Kansas "news" site about a restaurant refusing to serve gay people. There's a photo of a sign on a cash register that says "we don't serve gays." Never mind that the photo is clearly photoshopped, but do we think a real news site would not NAME the restaurant? I read the "article" and it was written like someone was writing fiction not news. But people kept arguing with me and telling me it was real and how awful I was - it took me all of ninety seconds to find that the site - topekasnews.com - is bogus and that it has nothing real on it. http://doubtfulnews.com/2013/11/giant-mutant-dogs-topekas-news-is-not-a-real-news-site/

One fellow had the decency to take it down, while another would not and suddenly began beating his rather inane breast about bills passing in Kansas and Arizona where people could refuse to serve gays based on religion. While the bills may have been written and submitted, I don't believe any of them have actually passed into law and are enforceable. The issue is not that it's not reprehensible to even be submitted - of course it is - but that people make these incredible leaps. There are lots of unbelievable bills put forth that never see the light of day. People on Facebook simply lose their ability to see plain facts.

The year my father passed away I had to go back in December to get his condo ready to sell. I stayed with my brother. I admit it was a chilly December but of course I had the proper clothes to layer to be warm. My brother and I would walk to a different restaurant near his house for dinner. He always wanted to go straight home as he was cold. I would then go back out for a nice long walk, something I can't do in the evenings at home.

Jane · « **Reply #115 on:** February 20, 2014, 06:20:13 PM »

Bruce I saw that article and didn't comment. Thanks for the link. I am going to share it with the person who thinks it is true.

Well, the reviews of "Bridges of Madison County" are fairly mixed so far. Almost all yeahs for Kelli and a few of the songs, but decidedly mixed on the rest of the lot.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #117 on:** February 20, 2014, 06:36:13 PM »

My great aunt lived in Madison County. She painted a picture of one of the bridges and I have it upstairs. Mom said she always thought the wooden bridges were a nuisance, lol. We did the tour of them back when I was in 4th grade, long before it was cool

I read in today's Washington Post that Sandy Bainum's father-in-law, Stewart Bainum, Sr., had died. He had a real rags-to-riches story:

I really liked the show a lot and am looking forward to the Broadway Cast Recording.
