Little things that remind you of the Eagles (5/07 - 10/15)

Hmmm, I wonder if they name all of their adoptees after rock stars!

LOL! There's gotta be an Eagles fan out there also in need of a cat who'll snap him up!

I've had a few moments that reminded me of the Eagles lately. Not sure if I've posted this before, but my niece's favorite show is Dinosaur Train - she's 5 and is completely into it. We watched it together when I visited my sister's family in Austin at New Year's, which has become a tradition for me in the past few years. The cartoon has a character named "Don Pteranodon" that inevitably reminded me of a certain Eagle (not that I'm calling the Eagles dinosaurs - it's just the name)!

Also, last night, I was watching a special on Star Trek: The Next Generation's final episode, filmed in 1994. They showed a segment with Marina Sirtis, the actress who plays Counselor Troi, "guest-directing" the Burbank orchestra as they played the theme song. The camera panned the orchestra and who should I see but the same bearded, heavy-set first-chair cellist Don scowls at in the backstage footage for Hell Freezes Over! Lucky for him, he fared better in this piece, getting a big smile from Ms. Sirtis.

Wow. So many things happened in my life in that one week between April 21 and April 28, 1994. My daughter was born, Nixon died, Star Trek:TNG (my husband's favorite show) ended, and the Eagles filmed Hell Freezes Over (even though I didn't know about it at the time). It's like all the stars lined up or something!

OMG - Maleah. Please be careful about what you demand from Don!

Well......I met him for the first time today. *sigh* It was like a giant splash of cold water. I don't think of Eagles any more. I was so hoping he'd saunter in with a 'fro and stubble/beard. Alas.......let's just say he didn't. LOL

Probably just as well Maleah. Besides, you can still sigh over the real thing!

Glad to hear there's no chance of inappropriate behavior at work.

[Maleah]

LOL! Definitely no chance of that! I will be behaving myself! lol But yes.....I'll keep sighing over the real thing.

I don't watch TV very much, but last night I had it on to watch a movie. I was scanning the channels to get to the one I wanted and I caught a segment for American Idol on some show. It was talking about Steven Tyler returning as a judge for next season. In one of the clips, Steven told the "Dead Sea" joke. Of course, I exclaimed "Oh no - he stole Glenn's joke!"

[Glennsallnighter]

He definitely stole Glenn s joke Dreamer!

I was in the shopping centre car park on Saturday with Laura and we spotted a SUV with the number plate JOE 961 W.
