Oh thanks so very much for the tube sched since my cable is out. I am dealing with my remorse by watching a stash of Cary Grant flicks on video. Tonight is "An Affair to Remember" and I hope I have enough Kleenex to get me through it. Just finished "To Catch A Thief." Have a cat asleep in my lap and all I need now is a slice of Mountaineer's chocolate pie to make the afternoon complete. Get crackin' on that, will ya?

It's hotter than holy h*ll here and humid, too. Iowa Granny must have mailed this weather over the state line to us. High Gran. Hope your corn's growing tall - ours is already knee high.

Well, there's the farm report. Is someone gonna watch the Martha Stewart thing on E!? I'll have to catch that another time. Wonder if they show a pic of her and her good buddy, Sam Waksal. Wonder if she and Sam are still good buddies. Wonder if Martha's invited Sam over for bar-b-que and Sam doesn't know it but he's the main course. Secret's in the sauce!

You are right, that Once Upon A Time In America is NOT a G rated movie ;-)It sure makes a difference which version is on, as most times the movie channels go with the edited one ; its just shorter and less ponderous, but leaves out lots of details.

And the very risque scene of de Niro and Tuesday Weld "arguing" while a company is being robbed is not for the under 14 crowd ;-)Enjoy!!

More snide remarks from the media re the Bush twins:

Brainy Twin Will Try on NYC for Size

Start shaking those apple martinis, New York lounge owners. [????]

First Daughter Barbara Bush will be employed here as a fashion intern over the summer — and she's bound to work up a thirst. Barbara, 20, is going to work for Lela Rose, the designer who created the dresses that she and her twin, Jenna, wore at their dad's Inauguration. (Rose also dressed Sharon Stone and Ashley Judd.)

"Fashion has always been something that has interested [Barbara]," a Bush pal tells New York magazine.

The still underage Yalie is sure to be closely watched if she slips into Lotus, Lot 61, Trust or any other fashion oases around town. Especially after The Washington Post reported that she and Jenna went drinking at Stetson's in Washington on Wednesday night.

University of Texas student Jenna, the younger (and, perhaps, friskier) of the pair, is wisely steering clear of our tipster-infested town. She will soon head for Prague, which she visited in May with her mother, Laura, according to the magazine.

The First Lady's press secretary, Noelia Rodriguez, declined to comment on the girls' summer vacations "or anything else concerning them."

"They're private citizens," Rodriguez insists. "We ask the press to respect their privacy." But she did deny speculation by some reporters that Jenna is traveling totally at taxpayers' expense. Not true, says Rodriguez. "Some form of reimbursement [by the Bush family] was worked out. I don't have the details." NY Daily News.
