Rather ironic no SOMMS?
Ironic is my middle name, mom.
Hey BT..welcome back to the playground. It was a little wet this morning, but seems to be drying.
KMF ... hold that plane! I just need to run home and get some clothes out of the closet! Some dry heat is just what I need.
K - if I bring my damp laundry along it will dry in no time. Save a spot for me!
I wanna go to....there are a couple of people I wanna slap upside the head!

Hello, Undi - I just have to tell you that your beautiful icon of the moment is giving me much happiness - I am a Deco freak
I just had a minute to read the last ten pages. Wow! 10,000 posts, 400 pages and so much laundry!
I've got the first class cabin for all of you -- big dringks on the flight! No wet undies...
gotta run to lunch -- be back soon!

Undi - Parrish is one of my favorites! He plays right into my vision of wanting reality to be more like fantasy. There were times at the Grand Canyon where I came pretty close to feeling like I was in one of his paintings.
Yes SOMMS...We hit it about 5:00pm yesterday afternoon....it was quite festive
Yes much taosting and merry making!

KMF has figured out that our next 'milestone' will be 100,000 'views' on the thread - which is less than 4000 away! Updated On: 9/29/04 at 12:57 PM
All my bags are packed
I’m ready to go
I’m standin’ here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin’
It’s early morn
The taxi’s waitin’
He’s blowin’ his horn
Already I’m so lonesome
I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Because I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Ev’ry place I go, I’ll think of you
Ev’ry song I sing, I’ll sing for you
When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Because I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time
Let me kiss you
Then close your eyes
I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won’t have to leave alone
About the times, I won’t have to say
Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Because I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But, I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Undi - I love Maxfield too - have you seen the "Somewhere over the rainbow" book where the lyrics are set to his paintings? It makes me smile whenever I look at it.

BT - my heart just skipped a beat - do you know the title of that book?
Nevermind - I found it! It's already ordered - I can't even tell you how happy this makes me!

DG - It is called "Over the Rainbow" - they have it at Amazon. It is "by" by Maxfield Parrish, E. Y. Harburg, Mary Tiegreen, Linda Sunshine
I really love my copy!

EXCELLENT. Is it a production picture?
Oh Undi...I'm sorry...I'll have to make you a sock puppet to dress up your wrist.

Iris - it's a crop from a publicity shot that was used for one of my one-man shows in Aspen.
UNDI!!!! Be careful! Are you ok????
Damn irons...
oh, and SOMMS - "Leaving On A Jet Plane" tortures me. The pitfalls of a bi-coastal romance...
Housework is too dangerous. I have chosen to leave it to the professionals. Undi - glad you didn't burn the place down. Next time go to KMF's, I think his machine also irons and folds your clothes. It seems quite magical.
