Where in tarnation IS everyone? You'd think it was a Saturday night or something.

Finished with my viewing and am relaxing and listening to music and about to finish the last of the commentary. Have listened to the four Planets that I got today - one of them was truly excellent.

On their way back from Michigan last night Mary Linda was lamenting that they'd had to cut their visit short to accommodate Rob's work schedule. He created this consolation song for her, to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game:"

"Take Me Up to the Mitten"

Take me up to the mitten,
Take me back to the farm;
Buy me some paczkis and fresh brown eggs,
Run a 5K and get really sore legs.
Let me root, root, root for the Spartans,
Or Wolverines, if we must.
For there's woods, lakes, wine, and ballet,
In this belt of rust!

Wonderful!!!

I'm about ready to sit in front of a movie. It seems so late, and I'm beat.

We went out and bought a 6-1/2 foot Fraser fir from the church that Kristi grew up in. They do a beautiful job bringing in several hundred really beautiful trees from a farm in Pennsylvania.

What!? No revolving silver tree with the rotating reflecting light?

What happened to your Christmas spirit, Laddo?

TCB you are looking very dapper will there be any filming for educational puoses? If so, perhaps you would wish to keep a copy on the opposite coast, for security reasons.

Last night Vixdad and I went to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner but today I cooked the turkey breast and we had our very own thanksgiving feast with leftovers enough for lively turkey sandwiches tomorrow

I always feel that turkey sandwiches are best with some life left in them. Did they do a little jig on the plate?

Almost finished with The Saint of Bleecker Street, which I'm really enjoying, and I finished the commentary. Had a couple of drumettes and shrimp cocktail shrimp for my snack - not too caloric. It's been raining quite a bit today.

Listening to a wonderful oddity that arrived in the mail today. It's called Freedomland U.S.A. and it's a musical score that Jule Styne and George Weiss wrote for a failed theme park that opened in the Bronx in 1960 and disappeared soon thereafter.

The songs are an odd mix, but there's an overture that, well, is a classic Jule Styne overture. It's brassy, it's classy, it's filled with life and fizz. Frank DeVol conducts with his usual verve.

The singers include Johnny Horton, Richard Hayes and Jill Corey as well as Charlie Weaver, who is grandfather of the Arquettes.

The dance was fun tonight. Got to catch up with a few people I haven't seen in too long.

Sorry to read about Ron Glass. I was a big Barney Miller fan back in the day.

Listening to Puccini Without Words - originally released on Kapp - it would be swell to actually hear what the tapes sound like - this was a very early CD when they had no idea what they were doing.

Listening to some Ravel now - lesser known but wonderful pieces orchestrated by the Twilight Zone's Marius Constant and conducted by Laurent Petitgirard, who composed the scores for Maigret.

Shouldn't we be on page fifty already? Late night denizens be sure to check the two new lists on pages four and five - really good stuff.

Found an online store I've bought from before via both eBay and Amazon - but going to their site, they have all these RCA Living Stereo SACD things really cheap - seven bucks a pop, one was even six. Got four of 'em.

We have been friends for 33 years. I think she is truly beautiful.

The show was good this evening. It suffered from "second night slump," but nothing tragically wrong.
