Afternoon at the Getty

The Getty Museum is fantastic!  Denis has friends in town so we all went for the afternoon. It’s on top of a hill so after parking, you take a tram up the hill to the museum.  

It’s just stunning.  The buildings (there are a few) are all white and they have the most beautiful formal garden. Of course I took my camera. Even if we had all day we could never have seen all the exhibits but now I know how great it is and can go back.

As we were going in, Denis spotted a praying mantis sitting on the stone. It let me get really close and didn’t move so I took this picture.  I think I’ll put it in my photo section too.

Meantime, while I was away, Damon posted some new videos on the site. There’s a brand new Talk Show Video Highlights page with clips from my show, with a new one on Child Stars and also Chubby Checker singing The Twist. I found some boxes of tapes so there are more clips coming soon.  But don’t expect more bloopers any time soon.  I have to wait until I make a mistake and as you know, that could take years!  😉

    Jenny, that is a really close photoshot. You really do well with your camera and I’m glad you have fun taking pictures. I enjoy your work of art 🙂
    I went and looked at the video of you and Jack Hannah when I saw the praying mantis photo. I’ve seen the video before but the picture you shared, made me look again 🙂
    Even though you didn’t like the insects Hannah had, I found it funny…lol…
    And Jenny if you got that close to get a good closeup, you must not be as scared of them as you think you are…

    Take care, Jenny!

    Sue, I actually went up the same Funicular years ago when I was performing in Albuquerque and it was a wonderful experience. And please don’t worry about that old Macy’s thing. You were not acting dumb at all, it was your honest interpretation of what I wrote. But I’m sure everyone has moved on just like I have and I’m also sure that Mrs. News will tell you everything is fine. It’s just sad that you’re still feeling bad about it but I meant what I said, I really did appreciate your honesty. So please don’t dwell on this any more — hey, it did liven things up a little. 🙂
    Take care,
    Jenny

      God I love you!! You say just the perfect things. I know I am dwelling, but I really do feel bad about her saying “It’s getting ugly in here! I’m out of here!! Thanks Jenny. I guess I did liven things up a bit which you’re used to with a talk show!!! Thank you for making me feel better Janina! So much love from me and mike. We adore you!

      God Bless! Sue

        Very nicely said Sue! 🙂 🙂 🙂
        Mrs. News is too much of a comedian herself and it was not her cup of tea. I really don’t think she was upset with you. Let’s just sweep it under the rug and get past it and move on… If you dont do it for me or yourself, do it for Jenny!… Hope everyone had a great weekend and as always
        Take care 🙂

    Wow! What a beautiful picture! When you said you had to ride a tram, it made me think of when me and Mike went to New Mexico and we rode the “Funicular” a tram that took us to the top of Sandia Peak. It was the end of August and so hot on the ground, but when we arrived at the top of the mountain, we were throwing snowballs at eachother!! What fun! If you ever get the chance, Go!! Or you might have already been there. I also hope Mrs. News received my apology. I hope you read this because I didn’t mean to act so anal last Saturday! I looked back on “I’m alergic to Macy’s” and it’s still 25 comments. I just wanted to let you know I’m sorry for acting so dumb. And when I signed off, it wasn’t the F-Bomb, it was a word that rhymed with streaking. I know you were being mature and I was acting like an ass! Once again, I’m sorry Mrs News. I know we all work hard and sometimes I have to let go of work and just live! I’m so sorry “K”
    Cyber hugs!! Sue ( I just had to say something Jenny because I think I really upset her.)
