YES!!!
That's the one! Damn, why do you have to be so young?!?! (Why do I have
to be so old?!?!) I love that dark, brooding look you have about you. Makes
you very, very interesting in appearance.

Wolf, did I ever mention that (though I'm not scared of you personally) I suffer
from wolf phobia or something like that. Much as I love animals, and though
I have never ever seen a wolf in my life, I am absolutely, irrationally terrified
of them. Can't even watch documentaries about them - I'd wee in my pants,
I swear.

of them bad boys, lemme tell you)....

Ha-ha! It's probably because I've never seen a wolf that I'm so scared. On the
farm where I grew up one often ran into leopards lying in the trees, and we
had two lions, and loads and loads of very-very deadly snakes in trees and holes, on the ground, oh, everywhere in summer, but I was never afraid of them,
because i knew them. Suppose it has something to do with fear of the
unknown, to put it quite dramatically!

You're just pretending not to have a pony, aren't you, Terry. (I never look
at what you're wearing, but I think the overall colour is a nice, virginal white...)

(not to mention mange, eh Wolf? :-)

Wer, you look EXACTLY how I pictured you, except I thought you would be fair-haired--and I never pictured the beard, just a mustache. Also, I expected your hairline to be a little recessed, but I got the hair length right! (*feeling very pleased with myself*)

Maybe I'll take my camera to my brother's this week and have them developed and scanned for next week.

I posted a picture of it on Drool 72 and it was very tasty-looking. I think it had a great sauce and the jellyfish and been julienned (that takes some skill one would think!) and coated with a nice peanut-brittle-colored batter. I imagine it is like eating raw fish. I love it, but the fish is really almost tasteless. It is the great sauce which makes the difference.

Surrounded by the world's largest ocean, I have to use reconstituted Jellyfish? Doesn't seem right, somehow. But, thanks wer, I never would have known.

It is a very tiny state. Larry and I had classes together at Manoa in 1982 before he got into TV and I was working overnights at KQMQ-FM. Then when I was doing mornings at KPOI, he was already at KGMB and also did our morning sports report (on the phone), His half-sister, Jan (Sax) Sage, was our production director. She was one of the best impressionists (vocal, not painting), I've ever heard. I don't remember Larry ever spelling his name any other way than Beil. He'd love to come back to Hawaii, bu
openings are rare and he could only make half the money he makes at ESPN. His wife hates Bristol, Connecticut. I get an occasional e-mail from Larry (maybe twice a year).

Riette, I've lived in Hilo for the last 12 years, Hawaii for 24 of the last 26 (left a year-and-a-half for Los Angeles and came back). I know how you look also (you're a Babe) and you mentioned a Boer accent, so I can only surmise that you're from South Africa. Thank you Marcia, for speaking for me, now I'm on my way to meet my freshmen for the first time this school year.

I went to L.A. in 1978 to pursue a couple of writing jobs (radio and TV) and some stand-up comedy. I made what was--for me--a lot of money in the short time I was there, but also got screwed up in the head and did some things I'm not proud of. I came back with my tail between my legs in 1980 and have never lamented my lot in life--$$ or no $$--since! I met Marcia shortly after moving to Hilo (from Honolulu) in the late 80s.

Yes...I may have seen you before then because I called Hawaii Loa games for two years before moving to Hilo in September 1987 (I've closed down more bars than I care to think of and one university to boot). I have never met David, but I did see the picture of the handsome young chap and read the women's drool comments concerning him. I also never met your ex, even though I got my degree from UH-Hilo. I did hear from a couple of sources (maybe you, for one) that he said some rather kind things about my
peech when I graduated in 1994.

He said it was the best speech he had ever heard at Commencement. And yours was the Valedictory speech, too, I might add. No wonder when I emailed David (Iki) about my happiness of having you post at Spring, he said he had heard of you but did not know you. Sheesh...Moms get all confused sometimes...*grin* I thought sure you knew Frank. But, he did not teach in the field you pursued, so that is logical. You did know which of the many professors hanging around there he was?

John, Lotte Lenya (sometimes written Lenja) indeed was in Bert Brecht's Dreigroschen-Oper, as it's originally called.

The Musik was by Kurt Weill, who emigrated in the 30ies to save his life, and worked from then on in the US. There's a recording of the original early 30ies cast available (incl. some scores from French movie versions), and for people liking Weill's work, two tribute CDs with curious new interpretations. If somebody is interested, I could look that up...

If I get that right, Weill and Lenya were married. There's one Bond-movie with her in it - perhaps "From Russia with Love"? There's a scene where she plays an elderly maiden in a hotel, with these SPRIMGblade-shoes, and attacks somebody. Of course she's East German secret service...

Hard-bodied, uh? What'd you think that comes from, Terry! A secret agent's trainings cycle is at least as hard as a publisher's - there's all these dry Martinis, the champagne and hors d'oeuvre, rope-swinging, funds-swiping and bullet-dodging. Plus the martial arts-stuff: vodka-downing, exotic cheese-guessing, seafood-digesting. And then there's all that suff you hafta to do to all these people: arm-twisting, feet-stepping and nose-thumping.


It's one hell of a job, but somebody's gotta do it.











Ok, so the comparison doesn't hit on the nail squarely enough. Sue me, everybody! That was at least rapid (rabid?) response posting...

I'm the one in front on the teal bike. This was taken at NH Speedway last summer at a trackday where you learn how to ride the course. It's fun and it's fast!

It wasn't a race. We were in a class. That's my instructor behind me in the red penny. First she'd ride in front to show us the correct line to take through the corners, then we took turns going in front with her behind critiquing our skill.

This photo was taken as I FINALLY got turn 3 right without losing all my speed.

don't y'all call those things 'pennys'...i could swear i that's what they called them hen I went to school out that way. Girls couldn't play 'shirts vs skins' so one team would wear 'pennys' and the other team didn't.

Wow, snow. Yeah, you're the first one up every day. I usually get up around 6 am or 7. It's going to be another hot one here in Austin, and I'm planning to be around the pool this afternoon.

I get up around 5-6am which is 11 am-12 noon for the east coast. When Y'all go to bed it is still early eveing for me. We get the tail end of the day is Hawaii...but no snow this time of year on our mountains is likely, though it is technically possible. We avoid getting burned and stay out of all polls if possible here. Way too intense unless you are really slathered with sunblock. Too close to the equator.

We also stay out of POOLS as well, excepting tide pools which are cleansed by Nature and stocked the same way with the most incredible life on earth. Y'all get water-wings for that 'cycle of yours and get yourself over here. You'll get the sunburn of a lifetime!

hmmmm. water wings on the zx. A new twist on 'chitty-chitty-bang-bang' if I ever saw it!

It's still snowing... it's slushy, wet, cold, nasty, splat snow. At this rate I will be riding my bicycle in my living room until June, and it's so hard to make the corners. My apartment is little!

Have to put your feet down a lot, do you? Yeesh! Where was this stuff in November and December when it would have been welcome?! Send it over here. We just let it fall on the mountains so we can admire it from the deck chair in the yard in the shade of a palm tree sippping a tall cool one. The only way to admire snow, according to my father. I rather like the cold - but hate the rheumatic cold wet stuff.

Oh yes, get that zx airborne and you have it made!!! *lol*

I did make it to the poolside, where I am now. The computer's back out there like last summer. So summer fun begins. The pool's clean too, Paul Fuck (the pool guy) has obviously been by here from the unfettered look of the clear, blue water. OK, OK, Gena, I'll stop rubbing it in now.
