Carla,
20+ years as a guidance counselor.. Regents week just ended.
I can relate to your kids. all I usually want to see are martial arts, historical documentaries, and fart joke movies! (I did see Madigasgar though) I will also be happy to watch any movie with Hally Berry or Salma Hayek. Hmmmm. a young Steven Segal or Jet Lee with Salma Hayek and Hally Berry in a movie about Gettysburg and lots of fart jokes! Could be a hit!

Hi. I just lost the message I was typing so, here I go again....
Doc & Elena,
I do appreciate the occasional Adam Sandler or Jim CArey movie but unfortunatley I can't justify having them watch a Brad Pitt flick 
I saw an item on the news this evening about a teacher who got in trouble for showing his kids " The 40 yr old Virgin", he must have been smoking some pretty powerful stuff when he loaded that dvd into the player 
I love the Simpsons too...Groening is genius. My kids love Sponge Bob-
I do too!!! Did you know that a science teacher created SBob?
Doc, glad that you got thru Regents week- I hate these test weeks. I wish that we could really do portfolio type assessments instead so kids would be able to show their talents in so many different mediums.
Elena, I do try and incorporate art alot into my instruction- they love it and I hope to start including music soon also. I have collected small instruemnts from tag sales, etc and have enough now so we could start up a band.
Everyone have a great weekend!
Ciao,
Carla

Carla, I bet that you are a great teacher! You sound like lots of fun! Pink Floyd and The March of the Penguins. Art and Music!! Teachers work so hard, even just to prepare for a single class. Sandro ages five years everytime he is done teaching for the day.

Thanks for the kind words Elena. I do try and mix it up all the time so I am a little less borrrrring- as the kids say. I tell them that one of these days I am going to have a few of them try and teach a class and see how hard it is to be exciting
I have just been discovering different ways to incorporate more technology into the classroom and I hope to write some grants to get IPods for class use. Did you see MAd Hot Ballroom? I am hopefully bringing that group in through a grant I wrote up this fall. Our students very much fit the same description of the inner city kids in that movie and I believe that they would greatly benefit from an increase in their self esteem.
All for now. I am off to calculate report card grades- ugh!
Hopefully, I don't age years everyday - I just get additional gray hairs.
Take care everyone,
Carla |

My current favorite TV show is Monk, he reminds me of me.!!! Plus I just love cop shows from way back. Also Law and Order, NYPD Blue, going all the way back to the 60's of Dragnet and 77 Sunset Strip and everything in between from Hawaii five 0, the Rookies, Adam 12, CHIPS, Charlies Angels, The A Team, McGuyver, and so on and so on...
Also HBO faves are the Soprano's, Sex in the City, and Six Feet Under,
but my real love and all time favorites are the old TV shows and movies like Abbott and Costello, Laurel & Hardy, 3 Stooges, Bowery Boys/Dead End Kids, Superman ( the original TV show! ) Mayerry RFD/Andi Griffith, Topper, Munsters ( Adams Family but Munsters are better to me ) Gomer Pyle, Dennis the Mennis, Leave it to Beaver, Father Knows Best, Donna Reed, Bewitched, I Dreamof Jeannie,and all the other shows from those eras. ....Cartoons too like Hucklyberry Hound, Augie Doogie and Doggie Daddy, Couragous Cat and Minute Mouse, Krazy Kat, Felix the Cat, Popyee, Yogi Bear, Woody Woodpecker, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Quicks Draw McGraw, ect...
I'm sure I left out a ton of stuff above but you get the idea...

You mentioned some great old shows Frank.
My current favs are Sopranos, Rescue Me, any Law & Order & Lost.
I think that Rescue Me has some of the best writing I have ever heard on tv. I look forward to see how the plot thickens after the tragedy of connor's death.
Later,
Carla |

Frank,
Hi. Rescue me is on FX on Tues nights at 10pm. Right now The Shield is on- I think it comes back in March or so. The story revolves around a NYC firehouse and the personal lives of the guys in it. The creator & star is Denis Leary- so if you like him- you'll love this show. He is a very good actor.

Carla...
I have watched The Shield a few times and like it. Andrea watches it more than I do because I usually have to leave for work. The guy on the Shiled ( forgot his name ) use to have another cop show before thast called " The Commish " do you remember that one?
btw...Ray has booked a show in Boston for March 28th so the NY shows should be the week after or before, as soon as I know I'll let you know. We got tickets for the Boston show today. |

Frank,
HI. The guy's name is Mike Chiklis & yes, I remember his other show. He is brutal on The SHield- but excellent acting.
I would love to see Ray if he is in the area- please keep me posted.
I spent the day making "rock cycle" fudge with the kids so I am WIPED OUT!!!! Try getting 125 kids organized to make something and then you see what the future of our country is!!!!! 
Take care,
CArla  |

Frank,
I will try my best to make 1 of them. I'll email you when I look at my calendar and see what might work best for me. I remember seeing them for the first time- I think it was Carnegie Hall- could that be possible- probably 71-72? So much of that time is a haze for me
I will check out the IP website too.
Thanks,
Carla

| There was an ice cream man named Gus, who drove a truck with 'American Bar' painted on the side. It was one of those old fashioned trucks and he covered my side of Valley Stream (the west near Merrick Rd.) at the right time (right after dinner). A Good Humor truck also made the rounds, but wasn't the preferred choice in our neighborhood. Anybody remember Gus? |

I think we all remember Gus. When he first started coming around (late 50"?), we called him Teddy. His company was Teddy Bros. Don't know how or why I remember that. I even remember Bungalow Bar from when I was in Brooklyn... |

You're right again, Doc. Gus was known as Teddy. He was really great with kids. His heart was broken when his son was arrested for arson. The son had been setting fires in town.
We had a Bungalow Bar truck come through my neighborhood at times, and of course in Brooklyn I remember them as a small child. Their trucks all had the pitched roof with shingles. The modern ice cream truck is an abomination and should be outlawed! Bring back the old trucks with the smelly exhaust and the ice cream man dressed in white. He must also wear the change maker on his belt. |

Rich M -
I just read today that Jay Black has been running into some financial difficulties. We used to run into him when we worked the Concord Hotel. Did you know him?

| Doc: I can't say that I have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Black. I did work with him once. Though never a fan of Jay, or the Americans, or even Jay and the Americans, I do sympathize with his plight, and think it unfair that the feds would strip him of the right to use his own name at gigs. I don't remember his real name, and I am sure that Jay wouldn't care to remember it either, but people would only pay to see Jay Black sing all those hit songs. If the feds want to collect back taxes from him, wouldn't they want him to earn some big bucks so his salary can be garnished? Maybe Willie Nelson can throw a benefit for him.... |

| That only makes sense but remember you are talking about the IRS. Perhaps he could change is name to "The artist formaly known as Jay"? I don't think there will be many benefit concerts, according to the news paper he apparently lost his $ as a result of a gambling habit. Residuals probably do not amount to very much. |
