Hi, ledzep45! Thank you for your very kind words. They do comfort me and I can assure you I needed them. The pain of the death of my two tomcats is still very acute. It happened in 2003. I'm very sorry about your two kittens. I commend you in your proactive stance re: humane treatment of our fellow Earth inhabitants.

Hi, Asha! and welcome! wow! that's a lot of exams! Hope you did well on all of them and lots of warm, good wishes to you in your scholastic endeavor!

City Of New Orleans - Arlo Guthrie (good morning, America How are ya? Say don't you know me I'm your native son? I'm the train they call 'the City of New Orleans' ")

Hi, JAL! I'm so happy to hear of your sister's signs of willingness to [gradually] open up. That's great! You're so right--it's a step. Oh, and tell her to pay attention to those perpendiculars & good luck on those bank shots! I just wanted to mention again what a valued sister you are for taking such a significant role in her recovery.

Jailhouse Rock - the king

Hi ninelives! The remake. (Sorry, I should've mentioned how great Denzel Washington and John Travolta were as well as the supporting cast: Gandolfini & Tarturo) Riveting throughout. Just like the original in that regard. It was a thrill to see my neighborhood in some of the scenes! And I do love seeing movies at the cinema. The audience reaction is an important part of my movie experience. I give it a ... (I live only a couple of subway stops from the movie house. Needless to say, I walked home.) Hmmm? Travolta vs. Shaw? Dunno: both have their own takes on the villainous character.

I'm happy to hear it, JAL! Hope she continues to progress, (little by little)

Raised On Robbery - Joni Mitchell

Oh no...dear JAL. I'm sorry to hear this. JAL, she's so lucky to have a sweet sister like you. Hopefully, she'll be home tonight. I know this is taking its toll on you and your family. I earnestly send my best wishes and prayers toward you all.
