1. Reflections

A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I celebrated the New Year with
a group of friends . . . we first went to a special performance
at the Villagers Theatre in Somerset, NJ, at which many of
the regular performers sang a variety of songs from such
past productions as MY FAIR LADY, THE PAJAMA GAME,
GUYS AND DOLLS, DAMN YANKEES, SWEET CHARITY,
42ND STREET, and many others . . . our favorite number,
"In Whatever Time We Have," came from a show we had never
seen: CHILDREN OF EDEN.

I don't think we have ever viewed anything there that we did not
like, and this show continued the streak . . . though it just had
a one evening run, I suggest you check out such upcoming
productions as LITTLE WOMEN, BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS
and ANNIE GET YOUR GUN . . . for more information, please click:
http://www.villagerstheatre.com

From there, we all went to Thai Gardens in Hillsborough--our
favorite Thai restaurant in the area . . . the food, as always, was
excellent and what's so great about this place is that the friendly
folks there will prepare any item you want in whatever way
you want it . . . for more information, please click:
http://www.thaigardenhillsborough.com

Afterwards, everybody came back to our place to welcome
in the New Year with both dessert and champagne . . . that's
Cynthia and I (below):
 Cynthia & Blaine
 
B. On Friday, Cynthia had a bunch of other folks (primarily her
coworkers) over for a pajama party . . . she had Chinese food
delivered for dinner, then had everybody stay to watch WEST
SIDE STORY.

I wasn't invited, though I was told that wasn't the case; in reality,
I had mediation cases scheduled for that night . . . but I did manage
to get there before the end of the movie and quickly getting into
my Valentine Day's pajamas, I managed to crash the event
at the end . . . it was fun, especially since I was the only guy there.

On Saturday, we met her nephew Benjamin for lunch at a place
we had never been to: St. Jame's Gate Publick House (973.378.2222)
in Maplewood, NJ . . . I liked my macaroni and cheese, Cynthia
said her Caesar salad was OK and Benjamin said his St. James'
burger was good . . . in general, portions were quite large . . . we
liked sitting near the fireplace . . . and will return the next time
we're in the area.

Next, we went with Benjamin to see SWEENEY TODD . . . our
collective feeling about the film can be summed-up in two words:
miss it!

At night, we met Joyce and Marty (Cynthia's sister and brother-in-law)
and a few of her cousins for dinner at Yoshi-Sono--a Japanese
restaurant in West Orange, NJ . . . we've been there before and liked
what we were served . . . so we stuck with our previous order, beef
teriyaki, and were not disappointed . . . also, we all shared several
very tasty appetizers.

For more information, please click:
http://www.yoshi-sono.com

We concluded the evening with dessert back at Joyce and
Marty's house . . . the apple cake she served was simply out
of the world, but then again, that describes just about anything
either of them ever prepares.

C. Now that we've temporarily finished scouting Florida for our possible
retirement locale, it is now time to move on to . . . the Carolinas . . . we
will probably be going to North Carolina in February and then South
Carolina in March.

I mention this in case you have any knowledge of either of those
two states, particularly as it relates to 55 and over communities . . . housing,
in general . . . weather . . . activities . . . or anything that you think we
should know about . . . if so, please do share.

D. CONGRATULATIONS to Mark Sfirri, one of my many talented
colleagues at Bucks County Community College . . . his
8-page cover story is in WOODWORK magazine, now out on
the newsstands, and he also put together a 2-page gallery section
that contains 8 dovetail boxes from his beginning Fine Woodworking
students from Fall, 2006.

***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD *****
This week, it goes Oksana Kors--a skilled massage therapist
on the staff of Dr. Wendy Attadgie (my chiropractor who has
offices in both Newtown and Southampton, PA).

I've now been receiving massages from Oksana for several
months and have been impressed with the quality of
her work . . . in addition, he has a most pleasant disposition . . . and
she deserves special recognition for having recently passed a
demanding exam for national certification.

Oksana is just one of several fine massage therapists employed
by Dr. Attadgie . . . I've long been a fan of another one, Chris
Williams, and only regret that her hours don't coincide with mine.

Should you want further information about massages and/or to
schedule an appointment with my favorite chiropractor, please
call Dr. Attadgie at 215.355.9337.

2. FYI

Congress is looking at a requirement that physicians file
all prescriptions electronically . . . I support such a move,
especially given my handwriting . . . imagine, for example,
if I were a doctor and you got a prescription for me . . . it
is doubtful that you or anybody else could ever read it.

For more information, please click:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17170228

Yet even if this ever becomes law, I strongly urge you to check
all prescriptions . . . mistakes too often get made, as evidenced
by this letter sent to Dear Abby:

I am writing to you to alert your readers to ALWAYS
check their prescriptions while they are picking them up at the
pharmacy. I was given two new prescriptions today. I had already
taken one twice when I discovered that the pills in both bottles
were the same.

I immediately called the pharmacy and was told that a new
pharmacist had made a mistake. Not knowing what the pills were
supposed to look like, I never questioned that the prescriptions
were correct. I am grateful that it was "only" the anti-inflammatory
drug that got mixed up. The second prescription was a muscle
relaxant.

Some pharmacies print (much too small) the type and
quantity of the pills on the label. But to be on the safe side, always
open and check the contents of your pill container while you are
at the pharmacy.--Natalie in Pennsylvania

Dear Natalie:

I'm pleased to pass along your reminder because
I have had a similar experience. It never hurts to check, and the
optimum time to do it is when you receive your prescription.

* Lisa in Pennsylvania:
I confess I haven't been up on reading my Blainesworlds for some time. 
My job and toddler are keeping me crazy (um, I mean busy). I save them
all and every so often catch up on several at a time. I always find good
information or something to just give me a much needed laugh. Thanks.

* Freddie in New Jersey:
Do you remember when you gave a mention to my mom's Holocaust tribute
website? I thank you once again.

Can you please mention my new youtube.com clip in your next newsletter?

It's approved for any age, and I sure would appreciate it. My Ned The
Toothpick boards have grown to over 1300 members, and it will continue
to grow.

The clip explains it all, and it's all good.

* Curious in New Jersey:
Since you read all the time, maybe you can help me. I want to donate
my body to some medical school that will use my 6'5" frame as a skeleton. 
I know this is done, but I just don't know where.

If you happen to come across some reputable med school looking for
healthy bones (I take a ton of calcium daily), let me know.  Many thanks!

own business, in the hope that he can "heal" the world, one body
at a time.

Now, at almost 50, he has launched Dan Cantor Personal Training.
His specialty is seniors, but he trains people of all ages and fitness levels.

* Bob in New Jersey: 
I do not know how you rate your editions of BLAINESWORLD, but
this one [#587] is a keeper. (I mean, it is MORE of a KEEPER than all
of the other editions.) It is marvelous. The links are great,
the review is wonderful (I am buying the Reincarnationist, and I may buy
a Kindle to read it on.That looks like fun!)
 
The recipes,  the dogs, the photos, the leader quotes, Cosby . . . everything.
 
Thank you.

* Debbie in New York:
My 2 cents on the housing market . . . you might know this stuff but just in
case . . . if you move to Florida, you should expect deep discounts
as they are number 2 in the nation with respect to foreclosures . . . and
the builders are in fear of defaulting on their current projects.

If you move to North Carolina, they are still in positive territory with
respect to year over year increases in housing value . . . so you might
not get the same discount but might get one anyway since your not buying
until further into 2008 because the housing market in NC will fall as
well . . . they just haven't caught up yet with the rest of the country.

My forecast for the housing market in the years to come: it's not going
to recover for a long time . . . and here's why . . . between 2001 and
2006, the cost of housing  increased 74% as opposed to the increase
in income of 15% for the same period (according to the WSJ) . . . therefore,
people paid too much for homes which they cannot afford . . . so until
earnings increase, the only way for the cost of housing to go is down.

Furthermore, if builders want to keep building, they are going to have
to get their price back in line with what people can really pay, which is
less . . . long term, housing will not begin to appreciate until the cost
of new homes becomes equal to existing homes . . . or the value
of existing home goes down--either way it's going down . . . I rest
my case.

3. Menu choices

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came
upon a restaurant operated by a fellow cannibal. Feeling
somewhat hungry, he sat down and looked over
the menu . . .

Tourist: $5
Broiled Missionary: $10.00
Fried Explorer: $15.00
Baked Democrat or Grilled Republican: $100.00

The cannibal called the waiter over and asked, "Why such
a price difference for the politician?"

The cook replied, "Have you ever tried to clean one? They're
so full of cr*p, it takes all morning."

4. Reviews

A. JUNO is a quirky comedy about a teenager who decides
to have sex and then becomes pregnant as a result . . . it grew
on me and now, thinking about it afterwards, I liked it and would
recommend that you see it too . . . the accompanying soundtrack
is great, as is the cast--ranging from Ellen Page in the title role
to J.K. Simmons (so good in the SPIDER-MAN) movies . . . there's
also an ending that moved me, but nice guy that I am, I won't
give away.

In addition, the dialogue was great; e.g., to cite just a few snippets:
* Juno MacGuff: [commenting that the repercussions of pregnancy have
forced her into] "dealing with things way beyond my maturing level."

* Vanessa Loring: Your parents are probably wondering where you are.
Juno MacGuff: Nah... I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other kind
of shenanigans could I get into? 

* Mac MacGuff: Did you see that coming?
Bren: Yeah . . . but I was hoping she was expelled or into hard drugs.
Mac MacGuff: Or DWI . . . anything but this.

* Juno MacGuff: As far as boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally
boss. He is the cheese to my macaroni.

* Juno MacGuff: You should try talking to it. 'Cause, like, supposedly
they can hear you even though it's all, like, ten-thousand leagues
under the sea.

* Juno MacGuff: You're like . . . the coolest person I've ever met--and
you don't even have to try?
Paulie Bleeker: Actually I try really hard.

Rated PG-13.

B. If you're a fan of Westerns, you'll enjoy 3:10 TO YUMA--an exciting
remake of the classic 1957 film of the same name . . . it's the tale of a
down-and-out rancher, well-played by Christian Bale, who agrees
to escort a notorious gunman, an equally effective Russell Crowe, to a
train that will take him to prison . . . there's a lot of action and
suspense in this one, and it will maintain your interest until the very
end . . . rated R.

C. Steve Martin became famous as a comic in the mid seventies
and by 1978, he was the biggest concert draw in the history
of stand-up . . . yet in 1981, he quit forever to my great regret.

His book, BORN STANDING UP, explains why this happened . . . in
reading it, you'll gain an understanding of what makes Martin tick,
as well as what being a comic is all about.

You'll also discover this is no easy job, particularly if you have
little talent . . . as the author notes:

* At age eighteen, I had absolutely no gifts. I could not sing or dance,
and the only acting I did was really just shouting. Thankfully,
perseverance is a great substitute for talent. Having been
motivated by Earl Scrugg's rendition of "Foggy Mountain  Breakdown,"
I had learned, barely, to play the banjo. I had taught myself
by slowing down banjo records on my turntable and picking out the songs
note by note, with a helpful assist from my high school friend John
McEuen, already an accomplished player. The only place to practice
without agonizing everyone in the house was in my car, parked on the
street with the windows rolled up, even in the middle of August. Also,
I could juggle passably, a feat I had learned from the talented Fantasyland
court jester Christopher Fair (who could juggle five balls while riding a high
unicycle) and which I practiced in my backyard using heavy wooden croquet
balls that would clack against each other, pinching my swollen fingers in
between. Despite a lack of natural ability, I did have the one element
necessary to all early creativity: naivete, that fabulous quality that keeps
you from knowing just how unsuited you are for what you are about to do.

In addition, Martin presents a lot of useful advice for any entertainer--or
speaker, for that matter:

* Fats Johnson, a jovial folksinger who dressed to kill in black suits with
white ruffled shirts and wore elaborate rings on his guitar-strumming
hand, often headlined the club. When I asked him about his philosophy
of dressing for the stage, he said firmly, "Always look better than they do."

Though BORN STANDING UP doesn't profess to be a book full
of jokes, it does still had its share of sections that made me
laughing . . . such as when Martin described some of the great
opening lines he has heard:

* At the Mecca, in Buena Park, I saw the up-and-coming comedian
Pat Paulsen, who opened with this funny line: "I've had a great life, with
the exception of 1959, when, unfortunately, I passed away." (The best
opening line I ever heard was from Sam Kinison. In the late eighties,
playing the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, he said, "You're going to see
a lot of comedians tonight; some will be good, some will be okay. But
there's a difference between me and them. Them, you might want to see
again sometime." But wait-maybe the best opening line I heard was Richard
Pryor's, after he started two hours late in front of a potentially miffed crowd at
the Troubadour in Los Angeles. He said simply, "Hope I'm funny.")

I was only disappointed that this book wasn't longer . . . it has me
looking for a Part 2, in which Martin talks more about his career
since 1981.

D. Heard DEAN & ME (A LOVE STORY) by Jerry Lewis and James
Kaplan, the story of how Lewis teamed with Martin to become
perhaps the most famous comedy team of all time  . . . they
performed in nightclubs, theaters and on television between
1946 and 1956, while also making 16 widely popular movies.

Then, somewhat tragically, they parted ways . . . and though
both retained success on their own, many wondered what
exactly caused the breakup . . . and what would have happened
had they instead stayed together and/or at least reunited
from time to time.

I'm sad that this never happened, but after listening to
this account, I at least feel I have a better sense of
what happened--in large part because of the Lewis'
candor in telling the story . . . he doesn't mask the
fact that he was much of the blame, and he goes out
of his way to point out that Martin often didn't get the
credit that he deserved.

As might be expected, there's a great deal of name-dropping
in the book . . . but none of it is malicious and, in fact,
enhanced my enjoyment of DEAN & ME--one of the
best showbiz tales I have come across in quite some time.

I also liked Greogry Jbara's narration . . . he did not try
to imitate Lewis, per se; however, at times, there's a hint
of his spoiled-child voice that have me wanting to rent
a Martin and Lewis film in the near future.

6. The maid

The maid asked for a big pay raise. The Madam was very upset about
this and asked: "Now Maria, why do you want an increase?"

Maria: " Well Madam, there are three reasons why I want an increase.
"The first is that I iron better than you."

Madam: "Who said you iron better than me?"

Maria: "The Master said so."

Madam: "Oh."

Maria: "The second reason is that I am a better cook than you."

Madam: "Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than I?"

Maria: "The Master did."

Madam: "Oh."

Maria: "My third reason is that I am a better lover than you."

Madam (very upset now): "Did the Master say so as well?"

Maria: "No Madam, the gardener did."

She got the pay raise.

8. Computer tip

I've said it before, but this suggestion is worth repeating . . . when you
can't seem to get it running (or running properly), turn it off . . . then
unplug EVERYTHING and take out all the wires that are hooked
into your computer . . . wait at least 30 minutes . . . during this
time, I suggest you do something away from your computer; e.g.,
read a book, do some exercise, etc. . . . when you return to your
computer, plug EVERYTHING back in and put back all the wires
that you had unhooked . . . I don't quite know why this works, but
it quite often does.

In fact, just recently I kept getting this error message: The computer
could not get an Internet connection . . . no matter what I did, I couldn't
get that connection; i.e., until I followed the above steps . . . shortly
thereafter, I was up and running again.

9. Helpful tips to make life simpler, part 1 of 2

Old telephone books make ideal personal address books.  Simply
cross out the names and addresses of people you don't  know.

Fool other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car phone
by holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and
occasionally swerving across the road and mounting the curb.

Lose weight quickly by eating raw pork and rancid tuna. I found
that the subsequent food poisoning/diarrhea enabled me to lose
12 pounds in only 2 days.

Avoid parking tickets by leaving your windshield wipers turned to
fast wipe whenever you leave your car parked illegally.

No time for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove
the dirt by simply peeling it off.

Apply red nail polish to your nails before clipping them. The red
nails will be much easier to spot on your bathroom carpet. (Unless
you have a red carpet, in which case a contrasting polish should be
selected).

If a person is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug
of boiling water down their throat and presto! The blockage is almost
instantly removed.

Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whiskey. The following
morning you can create the effects of hangover by drinking a thimble
full of dish washing liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall.

(to be concluded next week)

10. A quote I like

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality
is finally better than your dreams.--Dr. Seuss (1904-1991), pen

best known for his collection of children's books

11. Thought for the day 

Sometimes

Sometimes people come into your life and you know
right away that they were meant to be there, to serve
some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help
you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be--a roommate, a
neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a
complete stranger--but when you lock eyes with them,
you know at that very moment they will affect your
life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible,
painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you
find that without overcoming those obstacles you would
have never realized your potential, strength,
willpower, or heart.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness,
and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of
your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they
may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight
flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and
comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the
success and downfalls you experience, help to create
who you are and who you become. Even the bad
experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are
sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in
whatever way you can, not only because they love you,
but because in a way, they are teaching you to love
and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your
heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn
about trust and the importance of being cautious to
whom you open your heart.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take
from those moments everything that you possibly can
for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk
to people that you have never talked to before, and
listen to what they have to say.

Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your
sights high. Hold your head up because you have every
right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and
believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in
yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in
you.

You can make anything you wish of your life. Create
your own life and then go out and live it with
absolutely no regrets.

And if you love someone tell them, for you never know
what tomorrow may have in store.

Learn a lesson in life each day that you live! Today
is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday. Was
it worth it?

12. Advance planning department

A. Tom in New Jersey:
2007 was a busy year with one exciting show after another,
but 2008 promises to be bigger . . . starting with The Fantasticks,
a show I have always loved and surprisingly have never done,
directed by Barrymore Award winner Tony Braithwaite. It promises
to be the most polished show I've ever been involved with.

Sure, every small theatre in the country has produced The Fantasticks,
and you have probably seen a bad production of it. The challenging music
and the simple, delicate nature of the story often make for an evening of
overdone children’s theatre. But there is a reason it is the “World’s
Longest Running Musical." It is a story of love and life that has universal
appeal. I think our production brings new humor and energy to it. The cast
is amazing! (And you know how much I hate to brag.)

Innovation Studio at the Kimmel Center
Broad & Spruce Streets, Philadelphia, PA

C. Cyndy in Pennsylvania: 
I do have some more exciting news to share . . . I have become affiliated
with Creative Healing Arts in West Chester PA, a beautiful healing space
with many extraordinary practitioners, and I will be doing an Introduction
to Consciousness Shifting Drumming and Sound Healing there in January
