Hmmmm - that's not a good thing, Addy. Hopefully, they'll learn from that mistake.

How unfortunate for the kids and their family and friends! I'm sure it meant a lot to him that you made the effort, though

I'll still see him for dinner this evening. But, you'd think NYU would know better.

They're 12!

Very disappointed.

Is there any way that he can do a private showing for everybody?

[NYadgal]

I don't know. I'm sure there are going to be many angry and disappointed parents who will be requesting another opportunity for a screening.

I don't know what they were thinking...

Apparently, someone wasn't!

Oh well, at least you get to spend time with them socially - and that counts for a great deal. I have a feeling that him seeing your own disappointment and understanding of his feelings will mean more than you might realize - and probably have a longer term effect.

I'm just so disappointed for him.

Thanks for your nice words.

I'm going to go pick up a little something special for him... try to take the edge off.

Have a wonderful evening, DG!

*smells like monkey again*

RATH

now with the charming new smell of monkey =)

"Monkey - the smell that lingers longer than he does..." I see Joan Collins in the ad campaign myself.

Brilliant.

Camera discovers Joan in a leopard nightie across a bed. Suddenly - we pan out to reveal her bedroom is in a treehouse - and from the mirror over the dresser we see the reflection of a chimp grabbing his tie and coat, blows her a kiss and leaps from the window to the nearest vine, disappearing into the warm jungle night. Close up on Joan - "The line" - fade out.

I think it works!

No words. None.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 7/21/06 at 8:43pm

Clearly this has nothing to do with me anymore.

[cheezedoodle]

Posted: 7/21/06 at 8:49pm

Undi! That is genious!

What's the matter Rath - not a banana fan?

[shira467]

Posted: 7/21/06 at 8:50pm

Rhetorical question, obviously!

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 7/21/06 at 8:50pm

I love bananas.

Real, literal, non-figurative bananas.

Latest report from France: The Tour de France passes through the town I'm staying in so all roads will be closed on Sunday. Therefore, we leave tomorrow for the South of France. Thanks, Mary!

Here is a photo my son took with my camera when I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. I feel that his work pefectly reflects the angst of the tragically umderestimated four-year-old.

There's talk of installing it in the George Pompidou Centre where all the other inexplicable works of art have found their home.

Although, cheeze, if that was an offer...

[cheezedoodle]

Posted: 7/21/06 at 8:54pm

You know me better than that baby! Night all - I am off to Mildred Pierce!

[shira467]

Posted: 7/21/06 at 8:54pm

You still wouldn't take it?

Penny -- that's AWESOME!

Posted: 7/21/06 at 8:55pm

I might, shira, but I think he just said it wasn't.
