Yes, it tends to only happen after I've been drinking beer - which of course causes dehydration.
Congrats to DR BEN on 11.000 posts!
DR JMK - that is a nice review.....one of your paragraphs is repeated twice......the second time just above the photo of Mary Astor tasting the ketsup.
Please try to be more bitter and humorless in your subsequent postings, JR.I'll give you something to be bitter and humorless about.
Good morning. Ron Pulliam, I always enjoy your Christmas at Home stories.Me, too.
And, see, I read one of your posts. Is that bitter enough?Please try to be more bitter and humorless in your subsequent postings, JR.I'll give you something to be bitter and humorless about.
I, on the other hand, have not withheld my comments about:Nice review.

Per my post about the NPR blog yesterday, I'm sure the bitter, humorless souls who frequent chat boards will have something negative to say. ;)
And the word of the day is: VERIEST!
Congrats to Ben on his milestoneDitto.
I got a nice e-mail from Bert I. Gordon - we're going to try and have dinner in a few weeks.

I know many of you wouldn't be caught dead watching Fox News, but I will be at the Republican debate tonight - doubt I'll be on TV, but you never know. On a funnier note, my friend Paul is one of the most liberal people I know. He absolutely hates Fox with a passion. They are set up outside the SC Convention center now and the background is a mural of 4 buildings that Paul painted a few years ago. Cracks me up.
Perhaps I should drink more.
If you see this as a background for a live outside shot, it's Paul's mural. It's 1/2 block long and two stories high and depicts 4 building fronts in the 1800s

That is nice.
Please tell him I have received dozens of emails from her classmates, all filled with only kind words for the person she was.
I'm kind of frustrated over this latest wrong shipment, as I thought I had found a completely odd, MAD-esque poster I had when I was probably 10 or so, and this fool seller shipped the wrong item. I'm hoping against hope they still have the correct item and can ship it to me. A few days ago another brain dead seller sent me a children's book instead of the TV Guide I had won. How hard is it to keep track of this stuff? Back in the day I used to sell tons of stuff on eBay (before their policies got so ridiculous) and I never, ever shipped the wrong item.
Fingers crossed, it appears the seller can send me the correct item.
Of physical therapy, that is.

Last Friday was my final workday of 2011. Yes, that's right. You read me correctly. My last 2011 workday.
It wasn't all smooth sailing, however, since the end of that day. No, I had to prepare for my annual flight home AND the office "Holiday Pot Luck" which was on Monday.
So many things had to be done...things had to be mailed, things had to be shipped, things had to be cleaned, things had to be picked up, things had to be sorted through and things had to be cooked. I prepared a huge bowl of green beans, a sweet potato souffle and two coconut pies. That was my contribution to the potluck which was tons of fun.
When I got out of bed Tuesday morning (travel day), I placed my suitcase on my bed and began the ordeal of selecting what I would be wearing for the next two weeks.
This was an ongoing (until about 2 p.m.) task until I realized I was done and could close everything up and place it near the front door.
I flew out of San Francisco at 10 p.m., arrived in Atlanta at 5:20 a.m. yesterday and departed Atlanta for Columbia (SC) Airport at 8:10 a.m. We arrived at 9:09 a.m.
During my trek to Columbia, it occurred to me that I had failed to pack a couple of things that were essential to my peace of my mind, so I told my mom we'd need to stop at a Walmart to pick up a few things. It turned out she and my aunt, both, needed things from Walmart.
Thus began Day 1 of my trip home for the holidays. We had beef stew and cornbread for lunch, and then I retired for a 5-hour nap. I never sleep much on those overnight flights. It doesn't help when your seat has been changed and you find yourself on the 1st row facing a bulkhead and the workstation for the flight crew. No end of noisiness, light and traffic of other passengers opening and closing restroom doors. I was not pleased. It was all a big "mystery" as to what happened to my pre-selected seat of 3C and why it was, at the last minute, given to someone else as an "upgrade". Given the look of the guy who got "my" seat, the mystery wasn't too mysterious. I figured him for a Federal marshal-type. Sigh. You can't argue with security!
We ate ham sammiches for supper with some potato chips. I did some computer upgrades for my mom (new browser, updating Adobe flash and reconfiguring one of her Facebook apps). I retired at 10 p.m. and slept the sleep of petrified logs.
Day 2 has begun. I made a strong pot of coffee, had a breakfast of fried eggs, sausage and grits, and am now having my third cup of coffee while I type these notes.
The weather, thus far, is like the Bay Area's...highs in the upper 60s and lows in the upper 40s-lower 50s. It's like I never left Oakland, weather-wise.
I have a tree to decorate this morning. More anon...

Jane, that's very sweet. :)
Came home to discover that the house had been burglarized during the day. Somebody kicked in the front door. The bird is OK and the house is so messy that I don't think anything was stolen. The bed had been moved, but the burglar didn't seem to want dirty dishes, books or CDs everywhere.

DR JRand61, I had meant to thank you for the news about Ovation and the various versions of NUTCRACKER. Some of them look quite frightening.
Yes DR GINNY it is 59 degrees here - but a little rain and a cool down are predicted for this afternoon.
Two little kids from the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre Christmas show just sang on the Fox Morning News.....they sang 'Baby It's Cold Outside' - and they were terrible.....yelling more than singing....whew!
I just received the following email:
"Did you know that there is a Susan Gordon fan club Channel on YouTube? It's all very beautiful!"
Where it is I don't know. Maybe someone can find it before I get a chance to search for it.
Shocking news DR JOHNG!!

Thank you DR's John G, JMK, Doug R, George, & Jrand. My session went well today.

Morning all.
That is all.
I return from a week and a half of volunteer work and I make my 11,000th post at the same time.
It was quite a week and a half. We did 3,100 bags this year. Everything went well but I am beginning to feel the intense work (of course at this time last year I was in the hospital with appendicitis). I'm feeling my 58 years. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to do this (not that I'm quitting, it's just a statement).
Our tree is up and decorated. All our shopping is done and from now until January 3rd I (we) have nothing to do except see friends and relax. We still have a few days on our unlimited Metro Cards so we will probably traipse around the city a bit, seeing the Macy's Windows and the Lord and Taylor Windows and we may see what exhibit is at the Lincoln Center Library, etc.
That's it for now. I need coffee and breakfast.
Bye.

All this talk about drinking has made me wonder: what is it about Bobby that reminds Harry of the Seagram Building?
I am heading out for my last physical therapy appointment of the year. I could use from excellent mega vibes I never ever have to have PT again.

This has been kind of a nostalgic Christmas for me, what with getting these old TV Guides and this poster. Who knew the 60s and 70s could hold so many memories? :)

Tom, it's a reference to a line from the musical Company. It's in one of the songs, so it's on recordings of the show.

Ginny, I have been meaning to ask you; was there anyone on your river cruise that was in a wheelchair?
Ginny, I have been meaning to ask you; was there anyone on your river cruise that was in a wheelchair?
Yes, DR TCB, the wife in one of the Ohio State couples was in a chair. There was a small elevator and she got around fine. They were in a different shore tour group, so I didn't see how she got along off the boat.
The New Yorkers on the board may be interested in this:

Jason Graae, Christine Andreas and Howard McGillin in the same show! I'm thinking of going that weekend (January 7-9). It's amazing how much cheaper the hotels are that weekend as compared with last.
Anyone interested in going? BK--maybe that'd be a good weekend to shoot some more Outside the Box episodes!

As for the Patti & Mandy show...
Well...
I loved it.
In fact, I was moved to tears a few times throughout the evening. It's beautifully put together with songs acting as set-ups for other songs - sometime quite unexpectedly, and then each act featuring an extended sequence from an R&H show, South Pacific in the first act, Carousel in the second act. Yes, the vocal qualities of either singer may not be to everyone's liking - and tonight was the first time that I could actually detect more than a hint of "age" in Mandy's voice - but you could tell that they really loved each other, loved working with each other, and, most importantly, that they loved the material they chose for the evening, the composers, the lyricists, the authors.
*Patti was also dealing with a cough/cold tonight - and it was fascinating(?) watching and listening to her adjust her vocal technique to sing "over" it. Very impressive.

Doesn't it have to do with the line about the Seagram's building and how Bobby is someone who he thinks should drink more?

It actually refers to the fact that the Seagram's Building was constructed of materials that allowed someone inside the building to look out, however, those outside could/can not look in.
