Just beautiful, HB!

Glacier is a great place, I second the motion!

Be sure to visit while it still has glaciers!

And I thought Mr. Pink was the one who got out relatively unscathed.

Copley shootings:

It's funny, VT, I've went to the park 1 to 3 times a year since we moved out here six and a half years ago, and the actual glaciers is the last thing on my mind to see when we go there.

As Mt.Fan so aptly put it once, it just looks like "dirty snow".

It IS dirty snow.

JR,

Copley was in my back yard and in my high school day Copley seemed to regularly host state basketball tournament regionals. I dated a Copley girl while in college. One of the smartest chicks I've ever known, and that's saying much since I've always had a thing for artsy and intelligent women. Plus, she had super legs.

Sad story today.

Not that is of any significance to the event, but I did not recognize any of the names.

HB,

Man, my wife and I still need to get to Glacier National Park. It's about the only place in America that she has traversed and I have not. She so wants me to go with her. Maybe when I get this last kid through college.

Thanks for the pics!

Listen to your wife, Cali. You won't regret it. She is obviously one of those intelligent women you are attracted to.

Whether you just want to do a 1 day trip to drive through the park and just take the short walks to the nearby views, or make a long weekend of it and do some of the extras (boat tours, horseback riding, longer hikes, etc), it is definitely a trip worth taking.

Holy Crap!

I remember listening to "oldies music" from 30+ years ago and perhaps before.

I never realized that Leslie Gore, of "It's My Party and I'll Cry I Want To" fame was born a scant 7+ years before me.

PBS is occasionally still worth watching.

Edit: her birth year is in doubt, though she is not from The Dominican Republic. Might be more distance between our birth year.


But now as Little Anthony comes on, "I Think I'm Going Out Of My Head."

I'm catching a late TCM viewing of The Last Picture Show.


Better for me now, than the first time I saw it when I was 16. And THAT was a good viewing.

You win a few, you you lose a few


Baseball is even imbedded in Hollywood works

I think Cybil Shepherd is taller than me, but wow....she lit me up and gave me impetus.

Impetus is free, and a good thing!

Wow, I've aways known this was a powerful show, but it has aged like a 3 digit Manhattan New York steak.

You win a few, you you lose a few

I thought the quote was " Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose; sometimes, it rains."

(You're gonna have to learn your clichés. You're gonna have to study them, you're gonna have to know them.)

I'm just happy to be here, and hope I can help the team.

And in the category of movie quotes....avoiding Alex Trebek recent San Francisco chatter....

I just caught It Happened One Night for the first time seemlessly from opening credits to closing credits.

I read the Michael J. Fox autobiography a few years back and he named it as one of his very fave "comfort" movies.


Here's a Claudette Colbert interchange with Ohio's Clark Gable that still stands the test of time:


______________________________________________


after Ellen stops a car by showing her leg

Peter Warne (Clark Gable): Why didn't you take off all your clothes? You could have stopped forty cars.


Ellie Andrews (Claudette Colbert): Well, ooo, I'll remember that when we need forty cars.


___________________________________________________

And here's another interchange from It Happened One Night I very much like:


Alexander Andrews (he plays Claudette Colbert's father): Oh, er, do you mind if I ask you a question, frankly? Do you love my daughter?

Peter Warne (Clark Gable): Any guy that'd fall in love with your daughter ought to have his head examined.

Alexander Andrews: Now that's an evasion!

Peter Warne: She picked herself a perfect running mate - King Westley - the pill of the century! What she needs is a guy that'd take a sock at her once a day, whether it's coming to her or not. If you had half the brains you're supposed to have, you'd done it yourself, long ago.

Alexander Andrews: Do you love her?

Peter Warne: A normal human being couldn't live under the same roof with her without going nutty! She's my idea of nothing!

Alexander Andrews: I asked you a simple question! Do you love her?

Peter Warne: YES! But don't hold that against me, I'm a little screwy myself!

I'm catching one of the Jonathon Sebastian hosted PBS fundraiser shows.

I never knew until tonight that Trini Lopez (Lemon Tree, Very Pretty) had his first paid gig playing at a club owned by Jack Ruby in Dallas.


Yes, THAT Jack Ruby.


They didn't mention that tidbit on the Sebastian show. I got curious and checked out Trini Lopez since I didn't know much about him and had some questions.


I didn't have to go 500 miles, the answer my friend was just blowing in the wind.

You know, Cali, the feds always take a count of how many people watch PBS before allocating money their way. They have always found that when asking people if they watch PBS that more people always say they watch it then actually do in the official ratings.

The conclusion they have come up with is that people want to sound smart and sophisticated so they say they watch PBS even though they don't.

Personally ... and of course this is just one mans totally worthless opinion .... I cannot find anything smart on PBS. Nor anything entertaining. And for the life of me cannot understand why anyone would admit to watching it, let alone lie about it.

But I am glad you find it so entertaining. For the longest time I wondered what the hell our tax money was going there for. Then you came along and I said, OK, I guess there are people out there that actually enjoy it. Now I just bitch about NPR, thanks to you.
