Yes, I am listening.  Sounds like a blast.  Lunch at the Pearl.  It would have to be a Friday, Sat, or Sunday, as work seems to be taking hold of my life.  The weekend of the l8th  I will be in Maine with the "girls".   Keep me in mind if you guys manage to pull together a date.  MB,  I could forget to put my contacts in and your identiy would be safe.

Annie, put your mind to rest, I have had high cholesterol for years and have been taking meds for it.  Like Mark's, mine runs in the family.  My diet was never the issue.  My doctor tested me when I was in my 30's.  Also have high blood pressure, this comes from being what he calls a stress-magnet.  Luckily the meds keep it in line.  When, I go to the doctor, I just look at him and ask him what else he can find wrong with me.  i have had no side effects from any of the meds.

What other musicals did she take part in?  I also am in awe of her talent.

Thanks again Midnite, Franimal and all the other members who share with those of us who can't be at an event or miss a moment like seeing JK at the Emmys.  You are the best.

Gerard,
             I have never had a "real" experience with a family member with Alzheimer's but also thought that the Ben/Daniel relationship seemed rings true.  The age thing could be explained many different ways.  Yes, Ben is a great deal older than Daniel but ill health and mental illness can age a person conciderably.  I know many a older person who you would never guess they were 75-80 and yet others years younger that seem so much older.

Inconsistancy-  What do we expect this is Dark Shadows.

Jen, is it four hours?  I thought we made it to the Tapanezz in about 3 hours, than again, maybe the husband does exceed the speed limit on occasion.  If the fest came to Boston I would be glad to co-host a gathering with you.
