But just in case it's not, there was a Joni mention. Cybil was home alone and bored, so she ordered some food from a restaurant and invited the waiter to stay with her and watch a video, which he did. Then he broke down and told her his exboyfriend was having a party in their former apartment but that he himself would just go home now and "play all my Joni Mitchell records". (Cybil advised him not to but to crash the party instead. I don't know - I would have preferred to straighten myself up with Joni's music to having "all the people at this party" test my confidence).

I fell off the couch laughing when they first aired that one. I just don't know with all the crap on television why we don't see them over here. A couple of side notes, Cybil marched on both big Marches on Washington for Gay rights, once with her daughter, so she walks the walk. And many years ago I knew her costar Christine Baranski as she is from my hometown and we did a stage play together. She is a terrific actress and a wonderful person.

I just wanted you to know before anyone else that our brand new re-designed Sesame Street websites are up and running! Excuse the shameless self-promotion, but I am truly proud of what my co-workers do! The sites offer educational games and exercises, interactivity and instruction, curriculum guidance, help for parents, video clips, music, and other delights for the little ones. And without the commercial pop-ups or hard marketing so many other sites are plagued by. And you can learn about our community initiatives, our international cooperative projects, and the ways we use all media to reach children with an offer of educational fun! Beyond the evident creative expression of the graphics and text, and the technical expertise in the presentation, what you don't see is the extensive background work of our highly qualified researchers and educational specialists, who seek to develop the 'whole child' in all we do. We hope this new web experience will showcase the wonder and power of Sesame Street in a brand new way. To paraphrase Gordon, "Sally, you've never seen a street like Sesame Street before. Everything happens here. You're gonna love it!" You are all computer wonks - how about spending some of that time in front of the screen with a child you love? Please enjoy the sites, have fun and play and learn, and share in the delight of your kids and grandkids while ensuring they get the most out of the experience. ...... and tell your family and friends, please! (The official launch of the website will occur in conjunction with the beginning of the new US broadcast season of Sesame Street on PBS, August 11 - the 40th season of the longest-running show on TV.) http://www.sesamestreet.org ( http://www.sesamestreet.org/ ) http://www.sesameworkshop.org I would be interested in your accounts of your experiences, as some of the very first users of the new site. Hugs to all, B from : Barbara L.Stewart, MLS Library - Sesame Workshop 1 Lincoln Plaza, 4th fl, NYC, NY 10023 USA tel: 212-875-6393 fax: 212-875-7309 barbara.stewart@sesameworkshop.org "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter." - ML King ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2008 16:49:11 +0000 From: Patti Parlette Subject: sjc, Joni moment in "Swing Vote", and my talking as it rambled.... Bonjour, Baybees! I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, traveling, traveling....with no computer. I've missed you all! But now I am in front of my Circle Game son's PC for just a few moments. I'm in Obamaland, Land of the Tolls....hi Paz....I'm remembering that when I logged onto this same computer two years ago I learned the sad news about Jack, so I am sending up prayers for him and his friends and kin just at this very moment of the world. And you know, there may be more prayers: for Mags's brother, and Catherine's mother, and all our mothers and fathers and that poor boy in Canada and all our loved ones who have passed before us. Amen. I'm stealing just a few minutes here to tell you about the movie "Swing Vote". My son and daughter-in-law thought it might be a good one for me (amazing how considerate and thoughtful kids become after they hit their twenties -- it's the best karma in the world -- he's cooking for me and picking out things he thinks * I * would like to do! Beautiful!) I told them I really wanted to see "Gonzo: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson" and/or "CSNY/Deja Vu", but they didn't seem to be playing around here (or so they said...LOL!), so we settled on "Swing Vote". (I really wanted to go to the Peace Museum downtown, but their website is old and apparently inactive, and the number listed there, when I called, said "out of service." Phooey!) Chris asked if I would be okay eating popcorn in a "regular theater" as opposed to those "artsy-fartsy art houses you usually go to, where they eat tofu and hummus." Freshie! ; ) SPOILER ALERT: If you plan to see the movie and you like surprises, you should stop reading now. (Don't say I didn't warn ya!) I won't tell you the whole plot -- you can read about it elsewhere -- but here is what jolted me. I had been whispering to Chris: "That's Marshall Tucker Band, from 1972", things like that, when all of sudden, I heard CSNY! Imaginez-vous! "One morning, I woke up....." Carry On. I couldn't contain myself, and gasped: "Crosby Stills Nash and Young! Oh my God! Chris, it's Crosby Stills Nash and Young!" Chris, appalled, looked down at me and scolded: "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSH! Shhhsh! MOM, you're too loud!" (Oops! Sorry, hon!) Me: "But listen! (TIC! Strains of Benny Goodman....) It's CSNY!" And then it gets worse (or better). All of a sudden, what to my wondering eyes should appear but the cover of BLUE! Joni's face on the movie screen! (Well, wouldn't YOU sit bolt upright, too? You'd cry out, too, if it happened to you!) "JONI!!!! Look! It's a Joni Mitchell album! Look!" (I'm pointing to the screen like a three-year old.) Chris: "MOM!!!!!!!!!!! Shhhhhhhsh!" (A thunderhead of judgement was gathering in his gaze. You can't take her anywhere!) (LOL....after all the times he embarrassed me being rowdy and uncontrollable and childlike in the Circle Game years, I guess this is payback. Now I am returning to myself, the things that I supressed in HIM!) Me: "But look! It's JONI!!!" Chris: "Okay, okay. Settle DOWN, Mom!" Seeing BLUE up on the screen really threw me off the story-line for a bit. "Looking back on everything", it was really one of the saddest scenes in the film. Heartbreaking, really. Afterward, while we were discussing the movie, Chris the Joni-jokester had to mention that it was fitting to have Joni in that part of the film, because it was about a whacked out woman who had gone totally over the edge due to (I think) drugs. So now in retrospect, maybe it's not a good thing that Joni was featured so prominently in that scene. I don't know. I really don't know. Just wanted to mention it before I hit the refuge of the roads again. Love and good vibrations to all, Patti P. P.S. More on "Swing Vote", from Huffington Post: "I watched Costner film his big speech that night. And it was powerful. But not nearly as powerful as it is now, in the context of the current state of the race. So go see Swing Vote. Bring your cynicism, you (sic) idealism, and a box of Kleenex." Cynical and drunk, was Kevin Costner's character Bud, until he came to his senses, thanks to his daughter Molly. I was crying and saying: "GO MOLLY!" at the end of the movie (to more: "Mom -- shshhhsh!"'s") from my sweet son. I tried to paste the link but this hillbilly PC (Hi BM!) won't let me do it, so you'll have to go to huffingtonpost.com yourself if you are interested in her take on it. It's called Swing Vote: What It Tells Us About the '08 Race, and Why Obama Needs to Put Kevin Costner on His iPod (Oh, so the link is there after all?) P.P.S. I only had a chance but to skim my emails, and can't delve into Facebook, but thanks for the invite, RF -- rock the vote, man! There's a round resounding for you, way up here. Can you believe those McCain ads? Arghhhh! If Obama can bear to hear the words he's spoken, twisted and misconstrued by some smug fool...... Carry on, indeed. We've got to spread his light like blazes, all across the sky! P.P.P.S. Catherine, ma chere, how was Veronique? Dites-nous! Victor, great report on those rock and roll choir boys, CSN. They always take you to holy ground, don't they? I will see C & N on some October Road. Kakki, hope you are feeling those gentle trade winds soothe your work-ravaged soul and that they renew you again and again. Kate, I wish I could come to your Neil tribute! NEIL!!!! Will there be a dvd of it? I want it. I want it! A woman must have everything! And Barbara, thanks for telling us how to get -- how to get -- to Sesame Street! Felicitations! Okay, I'm really signing off for now (Hi David Sapp!). I have time on my hands, and want to spend it with the child I raised! ; ) xo, pp Freedumb Countdown: 167 days, 11 hours _________________________________________________________________ Got Game?

I saw Veronique Sanson live in Montreal at la Place des arts last Saturday. The venue was wonderful and intimate and I was sitting about 12 rows back. She had a wonderful rockin' band with her and looked very chic and smaller than I would have imagined. She really connects with her audience and whenever the audience would clap and cheer at the end of a song, she would clap back at us and the house lights would come up and she would look out at the audience. And she chats up a storm, telling stories about her songs and tells a lot of jokes. I am so glad I had the chance to see her. (Thanks for asking!) - --- On Tue, 8/5/08, Patti Parlette wrote: P.P.P.S.

It's horrific, and I find myself trying to process it in my mind over and over again.? Poor Tim's family must be in abject grief and horror.? I only hope the worldwide show of support serves to comfort them in even the smallest way.? ?Feel free to vent any time you need to, if not to the list, then to me privately.? It is still in the media somewhat in the states, and I imagine the Canadian coverage is more pervasive. As far as the man who committed the act is concerned, we are looking at somoene who has supressed for many years this horrible urge to do what he did.? Unlike Dahmer, who committed his atrocities secretly and systematically for years, this man just snapped all at once.? ?Of course, he must be put away forever, because he is a sick, sick person.? As the details unfold, it is evident that we are looking at someone who, had he done this in secret, would have continued to do it again and again until caught.? I imagine it's as with pedophiles--they say you cannot undo the mental wiring that causes their desire toward children.? They'll always have that drive, and all we can do is try to protect those we love. Again, if you need to vent, feel free to contact me.
