Babyruth | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 06:55 am     Eggie, what beautiful photos! Thanks so much for posting them. I enjoyed reading your comments, too. LOL at Half's post! |
Spygirl | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 07:46 am     ROTFL @ Half! Great pictures, Egbok! I love the picture of Hole 4. What a shot |
Lucy | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 10:41 am     I went on a mini road trip this weekend along the Southern California coastline too!! We left on Friday and drove down to Morro Bay. Morro Bay is a cute little town on the coast, and is known for Morro Rock, a gigantic landmark.
On Saturday, we went hiking like Ms. Eggie, except we were along the coastline in Los Osos, at Montana de Oro State Park. Saturday was the last day of the season for Pacific Rock Bass fishing, and we got to watch some fishermen catching dinner for their families. I just love the California coastline!! Ok, I know my pictures aren't as nice as Eggies...(mine are borrowed). A digital camera is on my Christmas list!! |
Wargod | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 11:56 am     I love Morro Bay, Lucy! We used to go every summer when I was a kid. We now try to take the kids once during the summer, but we haven't the last couple of years. Most of the reason I love it is that it's rarely crowded like other beaches. |
Squaredsc | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 12:06 pm     kool pics lucy. that's a huge rock, lol. |
Tntitanfan | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 12:38 pm     Thanks for the wonderful CA coastline pictures. They help me relive our 2002 trip all along that coast! |
Tess | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 02:36 pm     Lucy, I haven't been to Morro Bay for eons. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. |
Reader234 | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 02:56 pm     I love it!! so glad you both shared!! I cant imagine how warm it must be, I love the sound of the oceans, and I love the Pelicans too!! |
Egbok | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 05:26 pm     Okay, I'm home now and I can make some comments about your comments to my pictures. Ready? #1 - War, thanks for remembering that I'm innocent. You are SO right about that point. #2 - Tess, is there a Geography Trivia game? I'll have to go look...I love geography! #3 - Granny, I really should take your advice! #4 - Twinks, SQ, Reiki, RG, BR, Tnt & Reader...thanks! #5 - Half, I definitely need clarification on why a piece of garlic bread would look like Spy's #2...I'm missing something here and I just know it's gonna make ROFLMAO. #6 - Spy, "What a shot"...now was that a pun on Hole #4? If so, Weinermr would be extra proud! LOL!! #7 - Lucy...great minds think alike! I love Morro Bay and I've been up that way many, many times...it's beautiful there. |
Mak1 | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 05:32 pm     I'm guessing Half thinks Spy's #2 is toast. Great pics, Eggie and Lucy! |
Halfunit | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 05:40 pm     Eg - Mak is dead on... go look in Spy's folder for a #2 date recap.  |
Spygirl | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 06:03 pm     Definitely toast. Yes, I was actually being punny! Not something I am able to do very often  |
Egbok | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 06:26 pm     LOL Mak...swoosh! that one flew over my head...but it was a good comment by Half! And Spy...I need to get back into the loop with "Thing 1 and Thing 2"...LOL...Dr. Seuss, get it?? |
Schoolmarm | Monday, November 17, 2003 - 10:43 pm     I'm back from a conference in Louisville, which is a lovely city for a conference. I stayed at the Galt House which is right on the river, and our suite was HUGE even thought the price ($116 per night) was reasonable. What was really nice was that the conference center had food kiosks set up....not just the $5 hot dog/sandwich etc. kind, but Papa John's pizza and a Mexican restaurant. There was a Starbuck's in the conference center and a Kinko's copy center across the street. I didn't see much of Louisville, but I've been there before for another conference, and also when I lived in Southern Indiana. We had a bluegrass theme to the conference, and I was thrilled to actually meet folksong legend Jean Ritchie!! She is now 80 years old and sang and played the dulcimer and autoharp for us. Our banquet had a Kentucky Derby theme, from the call to the post to the crazy hat contest. The food was downhome southern cooking. The BBQ was excellent, as was the fried chicken. I didn't take my camera, darn it! But the way that I was cursed with technology during the conference, the film would have disintigrated like on Mission Impossible! Next road trip.....Thanksgiving in central Illinois. "Aunt Marm" needs to see niece #1 give up her "Little Miss Christmas" crown. Oh, and Reiki and I are going to NYC the Friday and Saturday before Christmas to see Wicked, etc. Any takers? |
Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 05:52 pm     Eggie took another little Road Trip! This time DD and I drove up the 110 Freeway to The Staples Center and saw Simon & Garfunkel in concert! We absolutely enjoyed their performance. DD knew all the words to their songs (just like me) and I was impressed! Sentimentally speaking, 3 of the songs they performed brought tears to my eyes because they brought back happy memories. DD gave me the look...and I could read her mind..."awww geez Mom, I can't take you anywhere"....LOL! Simon wore a red t-shirt, black casual pants and boots. Garfunkel was in his classic dress of black casual pants, black boots, long-sleeved oversized button-down white shirt and black leather vest, hair poofed out to there. Sorry, I don't have any pictures from their performance because cameras were not allowed inside...I tried and they made me take my camera back to my car...blah! So here's a picture of a part of downtown Los Angeles from the expensive parking lot across from the Staples Center:
And here's a picture of the Staples Center where Simon and Garfunkel performed last night:

Tess | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:05 pm     So which were the 3 weepy songs. I need to know these things since we'll be roomies at least in Chicago. Don't make me ask DD, cuz I will. |
Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:10 pm     ...Guess!...lol |
Halfunit | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:13 pm     Sounds of Silence I Am a Rock Bridge Over Troubled Waters |
Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:26 pm     Yay...Half got 2 right!! |
Tess | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:27 pm     Half took my guesses. |
Tess | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:27 pm     Homeward Bound |
Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:30 pm     1. The Sound of Silence 2. Scarborough Fair 3. Bridge Over Troubled Water Let me also tell you that S & G opened with "Old Friends"...what a sweet song! |
Myjohnhenry | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:31 pm     Just had to interject here...Ms.Eg, I was working at the S and G concert in Portland and it was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend the show to anyone who is able to go. Since I was working I also had the pleasure of listening to them rehearse for over an hour before the show and work on putting the finishes touches on how they wanted some of the numbers to go (they even had to delay opening the doors because they were still rehearsing). The Everly Brothers were a great addition to the show too and I think the crowd loved no intermissions and no opening act...just lots of S and G and nostalgia. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:37 pm     Scarborough Fair crossed my mind, but it's a wiggy song (at least to me). Homeward Bound is one of my favorites. My little sis and I used to belt that one out in our Gremlin with the 8-track player.... <sigh> |
Egbok | Tuesday, November 18, 2003 - 06:41 pm     MJH..how cool that you "worked" a S & G concert...wowza! Yeah, I forgot to mention the Everly Brothers...."Wake Up Little Susie..!", lots of good songs! Then they finished with S & G joining them for "Bye, Bye Love"...aww, yes!! ...wiggy is right Half...and if you only knew...LOL!! Awww, memories... |
