Hmm, Paul is in Chicago Sept 24th and Bruce is in Chicago Sept. 25th.  It looks like Paul has a few days off before his next show so wonder if he may take in Bruce's show??
I've seen Bruce have guest a few times here and there. Elvis Costello in New Jersey, Bonnie Raitt in Washington DC, Peter Wolf in Boston. I may have to make a special trip to Chicago.

I would have liked to seen a movie that centered on David as a young adult coming home to Collinwood after spending a few years away at school. Put in a few dark secrets from his childhood and give him a cute love interest who is linked to one of those dark secrets.
Maybe her name could be Sarah??

Thanks to Midnite, I finally can put a few of my pictures up. Most came out too dark and I really only got one of the cast. The rest are all of us having fun!
ENJOY

According to Jim Pierson, the mystery food was polenta, the cornmeal stuff...  Which didn't make me like it any more -- ick...

It was gross. That was the 3rd time I've tried the stuff and it never gets any better. Now, I love cornbread when it's made like a cake. Nice and dry with a big bowl of chili.
I also did not like the sauce they had the chicken sitting on. I think it was a raspberry sauce and it got mixed up with my mashed potatoes. The potatoes on the other hand were quite good and I could have used more.

I thought the mystery food was Polenta ( which may be cornbread ). I also did not eat the apple strudle thing and I love sweets but was hoping for something yummy and chocolate. There was a bar set up that sold wine ($$$) I settled for the water at my table.
ProfStokes and Vlad, Keep those detailed reports coming. I love reading your accounts and they help me refresh my memory about some things.
The display room was locked due to the lack of volunteers to watch the room. Remeber all the kids running up and down the hall from the piano recital? Well, I heard they made their way into the display room unsupervised and that  could have been a disaster.
I also made too many trips to Starbucks and am now addicted to Ice Chai Latte's. I am trying to break that addiction as I do not want to have to add another day at the gym. I hear those things are loaded with calories.
Did anyone watch the rock opera "Evensong"? I decided to stay and check it out and was quite impressed. I found some of the songs to have quite lovely lyrics and was planning on buying the cd but by the time I got to the dealers room, it was closed. Fortunetly, I found the guys email address and have ordered one. He said he would sign it for me.
Today is a week since I returned and I still have not gotten back to my sleep routine. I find myself wide awake at 10:30 ( late for me on a work day) and having a terrible time getting out of bed at 5:00 am. Gaining those 3 hours is great but coming home is another story.
I hope to get my pictures developed tomorrow and will get them up asap.

What memories we have . I had every intention of getting my photos developed and online but due to my usual procrastanation they are still sitting on my nightstand. I am off this Wed. and hope to go to the one hour photo stop place.
Hard to believe that one week ago today Minja and I were sitting having a cocktail in the bar at the hotel. Is it me or is time flying by as I get older??

Sorry,
The October thing is a Dark Shadows Halloween Weekend in Tarrytown NY. It is put on by the Dark Shadows Collins Assoc. Their website is www.darkshadowscentral.com. During the weekend you usually visit Lyndhurst Estate where the filmed the movie NODS. It is a beautiful area to visit that time of the year.
