Zippity do da, Zippity a. Mom took me for a walkie today!
Hi everyone. Our household seems to be getting back into a routine again.
Mom did a story on Randy Miller last week, an East Patchogue fire commissioner who also is a member of Task Force 1. Randy went to Haiti on a search and rescue mission and helped save 6 people. (Very cool. But off course, mom did not take me on the interview.) Then she went to review a gorgeous Sousa concert by the Symphonic Band of Suffolk at the Patchogue Theatre last Sunday. Mom always stands up and pumps her arms when
The Stars and Stripes Forever is played, even when it's on television. (Although she probably didn't do it this time as she was taking notes.) And guess what? Two of Sousa's great granddaughters were at the performance.
Mom, as you gathered, has a thing for Sousa. He composed over 150 marches as well a lot of other music, lived in Sands Point, Port Washington in a beautiful home his family bought in 1915 (he died in 1932). It's on the National Historic Register and stayed in the family until 1965; new owners have kept it intact.
Other than that, dad is looking right now at the Stupid Bowl.
Mom got in her Turner Classic Movies this week,
Third Finger, Left Hand with Myrna Loy (smart magazine editor) that she laughed out loud with dad and
The Sea Hawks with Errol Flynn. Man could he fence. I flip my paw back and forth okay but the sword stuff would be tough.
But guess what? Mom actually picked a movie Saturday night with Sandra Bullock called
The Proposal. A little similar to the Myrna Loy film. (Myrna's character pretends she is married so she can avoid getting fired by the boss's wife because the boss when she was "single" considered her fair game. She gets into a hilarious situation with an artist, Melvyn Douglas, and they fake being married and actually get married and then try to get unmarried. Did you get that? I'm still trying.)
No dancers tapping down a staircase in
The Proposal, but there was a cute dog and a bald eagle and Betty White in a great role.
We all liked it! Sandra plays a smart book editor, right up mom's alley, Although she is not so nice, her assistant is (and also handsome and smart). She proposes to him as a way to avoid being deported (she's Canadian and bypassed some immigration rules). I'll stop there.
It's much easier in the romance department for canines.
Have a great week. Remember your human sweetheart on Valentine's Day. Or, just kiss a dog!
