From the HBO film, "Foreign Affairs" with Joanne Woodward
1. Okay, it is no secret that I adore Brian Dennehy. And here is where I need to mention a few things. I have gotten a few odd emails from people whom I do not know who think they need to "enlighten" me about some things. So let me just say this....there is little to nothing anyone could tell me about this man that I do not know, good, bad, fantastic or rotten. Oh and uh huh....I KNOW he is almost 70 now. But since when did a man getting older preclude someone thinking he is an amazing actor or, dare I say, sexy? Gee whiz, I will be 51 this year and I never did go for men younger than myself! Besides, I do not ask anyone else to follow my lead. I will adore whomever I wish...I have followed this man and his career for over 30 years. He has done some amazing television and film work and yes, been in some real pieces of, let us say, phooey. But on stage he is magnificent. One of the best ever. His 2 Tony Awards were not handed out for phooey. Okay, so I am "weirdly" loyal and protective about this man. Bill will even tell you how HE thinks the guy is bloody great. And no matter how much I adore Mr. D, Bill is, and always will be, my number one man, my hero, my best buddy. 'Nuff said.
Okay, what is so weird....that I followed his career for over 30 years? Had a crush on him for over 30 years? You might think so....not me! Harmless, fun and sweet. That is how Bill sees it. I love that guy....

2. I am a geek for a Royal Wedding. No, they do not always end "happily ever after" and most are far from a real life fairy tale. I am not that silly so please do not send me any "Are you crazy?" emails. Well, about THIS anyway. I just love all the pomp and circumstance and fluff and finery. The pageantry of it all. And NO. I am NOT old enough to have been around for Elizabeth and George V's wedding thank you very much. Hmpf....the very idea....
3. I speak to my pets like I would to a human being. Okay, so do many of you. But I know that there are also many who think I am quite odd to do so. I really DO think they understand me...most of the time. Actually, I think they understand me BETTER than most people do. I surely do understand THEM better than I do many people.

4. I really do think that we should all try to find something we like about everyone else...I am such a Pollyanna that way. Okay, so perhaps I could not find too much sweet to say about....let's say....Adolf Hitler, but other than that....
5. I sing all the time. A lot. Really. A Lot. My children ask me to stop a lot. I am not bad. I am not great. But I sing. And sing. I sing a lot of show tunes. A LOT of show tunes. Right now I am working my way through the Kander and Ebb portfolio. Then I move into a re-evaluation of Lerner and Lowe. The Earth will move.
6. I love my teddy bears. No hidden meanings or psycho analysis needed. For that at least. I just love them. They all mean a lot to me for various reasons. I may be 50 but, about many things, I am still a kid at heart.

7. On that note.....I have seen The Wiggles in concert. Yes, we took my daughter and my nephew but here is the weird part. I LOVED it. I would go again even though my daughter now would probably not be caught there for a million dollars. It was fun and silly and I know their entire music catalog. Weird huh?And that Anthony is kinda cute. I always did like accents....
I am now to tag 7 blog friends....okay. Pulling 7 names out at random....*drum roll please*....
A long standing ovation....
The Lyceum stage door....from which those giants come and go.....
The world's largest Toy's R Us was just too big of a draw for Grace...and gee. Isn't this on screen giraffe just too sweet?
