Oh dear.....a acquaintance of mine was shoveling snow Tuesday and passed out.....they got him to the hospital, but there was NO brain activity.....he was removed from the machine this morning....gone.....

And a classmate who graduated with my brother and me in the high school class of 1968 died on Wednesday, but no cause was given in the paper......



DR JRand, I'm so sorry to hear about your friends.

I have been nagging Richard for a couple of years to stop shoveling snow and, finally, he's waiting for a call back from a guy who was recommended by the company that mows our grass.  They don't do residential snow removal because they have so much commercial business.

Made some tuna for tuna sandwiches.  Not going out today.  Have already ascertained there are no packages.

Smart move. I used to shovel show as a kid, though we never got a great deal in Louisville. Just blizzards or dustings, no in-between. It was back-breaking and exhausting work for a teenager. Breathing can become much more difficult in the cold.

I wasn't going to leave the house today, but we're going to see "Les Miserables" tonight.  My second time.

I much prefer THE RANDY VICAR AND THE WELL-DIGGER'S DAUGHTER.  I believe that is the sequel.

To answer a question from yesterday - I've not thought about recording the song Lost Horizon, but probably will record another song from that score.


Hmmm, I guess that will question me an answer.

Didn't the Well-Digger's Daughter know the Randy Vicar?

Oh my!  Small world.  Funny, but fine.

It's time for the big push to win the Broadway World Best Special Theatre Event Award - only three days of voting left - please tell all your friends to vote asap - and if you haven't, really, don't make me bitch-slap you from here to eternity and hell and back, just do it.  It only takes a moment, as Jerry Herman said.  You just register your e-mail address and then you only have to vote in our category.  We're currently being trounced by a show that had a cast of thirty, and a group that has membership in the hundreds - hard to fight that, but we must fight the good fight and get the little guy to win.  We can do it if we all pull together and vote, vote, vote (that is three votes, although we'll need a lot more than that).  Spread the word, word the spread, won't you?

I have been informed that I have already voted.

No plans for today.  It's bright and sunny out but also very cold and windy.  I think I'll venture out and just go wherever my fancy takes me. 


How long have you and your fancy been dating?

One last parody YouTube for 2012 -

Here's a Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend PARODY on YouTube - sung by Sheree Sano

CHATTING IS A SHOW'S BEST FRIEND - inspired by the NY Times front-page article by Ben Brantley, on standing ovations for the Encores City Center GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES which starred Megan Hilty of SMASH, a true 2012 highlight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUa5GGeLdH8

Just trying to stay out of "trouble" - LOL!  :)


Very clever, Fred!

Like DR Elmore, I'm having a haircut today.  After that, like DR Dan (the Man), I have to go to the grocery.  It will probably be a zoo there, because it's the Friday before New Year's AND there's more snow on the way  :P


You are probably right, since you have more snow coming.  However, I went to the store today, and it was really quiet.  I was very surprised.

I have been to barber, Radio City Christmas tree (really beautiful this year), social security on 48th Street, and I will be here for another hour or so. Then I will head home and do laundry, followed bya movie with goddaughter Charlotte.


Congratulations on your Social Security raise, DR elmore.

No thanks.  He has some of those, but he doesn't care for them.

A shame since that would be easier for you to play with him.

She really didn't talk about it after she got back from her trip, but I could see that she was a bit upset about it.

I'm seriously thinking about dropping Netflix.  I just don't watch enough to justify the monthly price.  They're definitely making money off of me.

We couldn't get the DVD's we wanted making it was a waste of money.

Hello, everyone.

It was gorgeous out earlier, but the sky has clouded over and it's gotten quite chilly. Rain is forecast for the weekend. Maybe Laura and Kerry will get some of it, too.

We had a 1978 Hallus Valgus, but it was always overheating, so we traded it in.

Yesterday I did some laundry, then did a run to the local Trader Joe's. It was the LEAST busy I've ever seen that store. It was really nice! I could actually shop without bumping into other shoppers.

PS: I was NOT born to shop. When a store is crowded I can't concentrate on my shopping and just want to head for the exits.
