  1. I remember Truman well because he lived until December, 1972. But, I was too young to remember anything about Franklin Roosevelt, one of country's greatest presidents.
  2. I remembered where you live when you rightly complained about leaf blowers early in the morning last spring, or were you visiting New England? I grew up in Massachusetts.
  3. Excellent question. How do airlines accomadate passengers in wheelchairs on long flights?
  4. Off-TOPIC When Judy Garland knew her prime time weekly TV show (1963-1964) would not be picked up by CBS, she performed hour-long concerts. Quite good, and available on DVD.
  5. My best plane flights are during afternoon to evening, and, if possible no clouds. Example: Brasila to Miami and back. Economy class is fine, when I can see the Amazon River.
  6. "Wildcat" did not last long, but the original cast recording with Lucy and Keith is memorable.
  7. Keith Andes was the male lead in the Broadway musical, "Wildcat." It was Lucille Ball's only Broadway show. Opened in 1960. Audiences expected the TV Lucy; Ball tried, but she was used to having Desi Arnaz on her side.
  8. Don't attempt a Broadway, or off- Broadway, show. Two tickets would cost more than $250.
  9. Yes, so true. Even if people change there is still the same connects, especially kindness and a sense of himor and a history of friendship.
  10. @Avalon has physical limitations due to knee problems, so it is not a surprise he does not know everything.
  11. Recently, a local student radio show requested good songs by bad singers. I called in for Dylan's Christtmas song, "Little Drumer Boy." They played the song. I knew one of guys. He said, "We almost bailed after the first tbirty seconds."
  12. +1 How did I miss this photo before?
  13. I can relate because we also lived in separate apartments in a relatively small building. But, younger than you and your partner. Being so young helped greatly during the winter we had no heat. At times it was mutual great adventive to find new electric outlets for space heaters.
  14. Albee's 'The Play About The Baby" is also known for providing a hour or so of David Burtka naked on stage. Apologies to the wonderful Brian Murray
  15. I flew over the Amazon River on a morning flight from Brasila to Miami. No clouds, amazing view So if Sam's story is true, they have seen planes often.
  16. I have flown from Sydney to LAX twice. But, each time with a flight back to the east coast tbe next. Once I rented a car at LAX, and stayed at the Malibu Beach Inn. I wished for another day in Malbu, but had to get back to work.
  17. I only saw Barbara Harris in On A Clear Day...., but she was memorable. It was over 50 years ago, That night she brough magic to a Boston try out stage. If Harris came to dislike giving essentially the same perfermance every night, it was a loss for audiences. I never saw Kim Stanley, who had a similiar career. But, I came close. By the time I saw 'The Three Sisters," Stanley had left (1964).
  18. Who cares? She is on vacation, and she is only alone during the day. Surely, she can find something to do during the day. @Avalon did not write she was poor, and had no money. I do agree about plane seats.
  19. Would not have been an issue at all for me. I was able to visit St. John in the U.S. Virgin Island under similar circumstances.
  20. I am much less concerned about my seat on the plane than very long lines at security in airports.
  21. The Broadway cast of Love Valour and Compassion also invluded Nathan Lane and a young pre- 'Angels in America' Justin Kirk. Kirk may havd scored the lead in 'Angels' because of his off- Broadway role in "Ten Unknown" where he also played a gay character. Many people saw the play because Donald Sutherland and Julianna Margolies (The Good Wife) were also very good in "Ten Unknowns." @Kenny.
  22. When I was posting in the Gallery, I sent Marylander a PM about sseing a doctor about oral surgery Marylander was very kind and supportive throughout. My issue with him here is simple I wish Marylander would show he is more complex person than someone who just posts a lot. Also, I put cosiderable less effort into posting in the Gallery than @Moondance and Marylander.
  23. Keanu Reeves ten or fifteen years ago when he toured with his band, Dogstar. Not much personality though.
  24. What is your sourse?
