I love it, too. And Tom's eyes really look engaged...and oh so blue.

My bathroom - Would love a rainforest shower - with so many jets, I would have trouble counting them all...and that mist up the glass enclosed area - oh someday...when I win the lottery.

Robert Redford - he is oh so brilliant, funny and he's made a difference. I think that he and Paul Newman exemplify what should be done with one's celebrity status.

Gainsville....

She looks intriguing. I like that her lyrics are supposed to include literary references....And she supports Doctors without Borders. I have to look into her more.

^WildflowerNJ - I agree -- although it would be wonderful to have something from any of those musicians, just shaking their hands, or having a moment, would mean so much more. I hope, WildflowerNJ you get many more of those moments, to add to those you already have savored.

^I know - that is why I only bought one set of tickets.

^^Sorry about that Lizzie.

^Thanks Dreamgirl. Since it will probably be me and my sister, I jut want to make sure I find somewhere safe.

^I am feeling excited as well....

Does anyone know of a decent hotel within walking distance?

There is a contest for seats....http://uterwincenter.com/contest After securing my package seat, I tried so many combinations to get the right password for regular seats- finally I put the colon in the right place and nothing really good came up. My email ticket receipt is time stamped 10:01 for the package - so, I hope I get rewarded a good seat. This will be the only concert I will be able to get to this year, so I am hoping for the best.

I look forward to seeing both of you at the show.

I bought a package - the tickets from the venue were horrible. I couldn't believe it.

I love the colors and smells of the produce section - the peppers and even the cauliflower have gotten more vibrant over the years.

Funny - "The Swiss Chard" entry. This is one of your funiest Poll of the day yet. Good work Nurktwin.

Ally McBeal and Sex in the City -- I picked two.

Well said.

Yes, I love Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and especially Peggy Lee. Back then they were experts at phrasing. My mom also loved Broadway tunes - and she adored Bonnie Raitt's Dad, John Raitt.

My mom never let us jiggle it when we were growing up - so now I sometimes like to jiggle it and smash it up before eating it and pretend I'm a kid again. She didn't let us crunch up crackers in our soup or stir up our ice cream until it was smooth. I do all of the above now with glee.

^LizzieB - I am so sorry. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. If you ever need to talk about them or cry about them, I'm really not far.

^They sound great SingsinFrench My 17 year old nephew, who lives with me, wanted a puppy about six months ago. I wasn't on board at first, since I work lots of hours and travel on business. But, I am so glad we picked up Eli from the pound - he was the runt of his litter and no one wanted him. He is mix of black lab and hound. He's gained 30 lbs. in the past six months and is super healthy. He makes me take him for a walk at least twice a day, so he has been the best thing for me. Plus I love knowing he is curled up at the bottom of my bed each night. He is my dog now and I love being greeted by him each evening when I walk through the door. He is always excited to see me, which is more than I can say for the 17 year old.

Memphis, Tennessee!!!!!

^I hated that smokey girls bathroom and only went there if I couldn't make it to any of the others. I was an exchange student in Germany my senior year and I had a ball. In Germany, I was a good dancer (compared to being awkward in the USA). I loved going to the disco (since dancing didn't involve conjugating verbs) and riding out to the cold cold lake afterwards and going skinny dipping.

I think more women should be inducted so -- Carole King (as an artist, already in as a songwriter) Pat Benatar HEART I also have an afffection for... Leon Russell (not as a sideman, but as a performer)
