I was on a flight last week from NY to Pittsburg, on the 5th, a day when bad weather was forcast all over the place. Having just finished Edith Wharton's exquisite "House of Mirth" I had nothing to bring with me to read. But I happened upon Joni's biography by Hinton(?)in a bookstore on the way to the airport and picked it up. I figured there'd be something in there to enjoy on my 4 days in beautiful Jamestown, NY/Pittsburg, PA. The flight left only 20 minutes late, but, as far as I'm concerned, in hindsight, it never should have taken off. After only several minutes in the air, I couldn't hold the book steady enough to read. We were taking wicked bounces up and down and side to side. The coffee cart was brought out, but within minutes, was returned due to the turbulence. I was trying to read about Joni's early years in the first chapter, but my hands grew so sweaty with fear; I was staining the pages. I closed the book after a dozen pages or so. I thought maybe the longbearded, yarmulke wearing gentleman in front of me might have an in with God, but I refrained from bothering him to ask for an extra prayer for us because, it seemed, nobody else was really bothered by what was going on. I was almost in tears, but apparently everyone else around me was either sleeping or reading. Now, I fly maybe once a month, but this was THE worst I'd ever experienced. I guess everyone else had experienced worse. We landed OK, after an hour or so, and I came off the plane sighing heavily every few minutes, unable to stop for the rest of the day. Maybe it was some kind of defense mechanism. Actually, I felt like I was gonna breakdown; I was that terrified. But I held my composure, at least outwardly, and proceeded on my journey. I get to my final destination, Jamestown, NY, at lunchtime. This required a short flight on a prop plane that behaved quite well for the weather conditions. I was able to enjoy more of the first chapter of the bio on the flight and I learned more of Joni's early life that I had not previously been privy to. Before driving to the customer with whom I had to work that day, I stopped at a McDonalds for lunch. Walking into the restaurant and waiting on line was a surreal experience. No offense to the people of Jamestown, but I felt REAL out of place in a suit. And my desperate and harried look, although tempered slightly with the passing of a couple of hours, was only reawakened by the filthy mumbling maniacal man ranting to himself in the corner near the ketchup dispenser. Of course, I got on the line that moved the slowest; the woman in front of me had four different happy meals to go and couldn't remember the toys that each kid wanted! And every time I would glance over to the mumbler,(I couldn't help it), he was staring a hole right through me with a wicked smile showing more space than teeth. After what seemed like a lifetime, (maybe 5 minutes), I got my two cheeseburger meal, and just before exiting for my rental car, "The Circle Game" comes over the Muzak in the store. I nearly freaked. I sat down to eat, listening intently to my savior with tears welling. I had to use the bathroom to compose myself. I don't know what song came before or after Joni, but I KNOW that she played just for me. The rest of the trip was successful, yet uneventful. And, I think, will never be forgotten... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 20:31:31 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: Snow Day NJC It snowed all morning! It was soooo beautiful. I know, for many of you who live in colder climates this is no big deal. But we live in SoCal, 10 minutes from the beach (though up on a mountain). Its still on the ground, which is pretty unusual in these parts. A week and a half ago it was 80 degrees here!

I guess her parents thought it would be clever to have a "Tom Dick & Harry" but never took the NANOSECOND to realize that the poor sap's full name was going to be Harry Dick! Thanks Mom & Dad! LOL! Also, I'm currently bidding on a Joni cover by another poor sap saddled with the name of Dick Hyman! It will be our first hermaphroditic cover! :~D - --------------- One of my best friends in fourth grade was Rocky Love. At the time I never understood why grownups thought his name was funny! Had a class in college with Mary Music. Forrest Branch lived in my dorm. There was a guy a couple of towns away from where I grew up whose name was Jack Knauff. Its true! My sister and I got hold of a phone book from that town. He was listed as J. Knauff. my sister called his nunber, the conversation went something like this: "Is Jack there?" "Speaking". "Are you Jack Knauff?" "Yes." "Better get a kleenex!" I bought a Dick Hyman record at a garage sale a few years ago just because I thought his name was funny. Rumor had it that there was a butcher shop on Beecher Rd. In Flint, MI named Beecher Meats. Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Had a friend in junior high named Joanie Anderson, too ;-) Kakki NP: thunder and lightening outside ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 20:56:27 -0800 From: "Kakki" Subject: Re: Snow Day NJC Kate reported: > It snowed all morning!

Hope you get some camera shots of it. I bet Phyliss has some, too. (I can hear you all in hardier climes snickering now, but the rarity of this is kinda like Evian in Saskatoon having a BBQ poolside in 90 degree weather right now ;-) Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 02:31:16 -0500 From: Vince Lavieri Subject: NJC Oscars I tried to send this at 8:41 am on Tuesday but screwed up the address (after all this time...) and it just got returned so I will try again: http://news.excite.com/news/ap/010213/08/ent-oscar-nominations-list May I be the first JMDLer to congratulate Bob Dylan on his Oscar nomination!
