DR Sandra: I have caught up from yesterday evening's postings....and I was having quite a good time reading of the travails of Cassandra, good witch of the playground.

There was something in that tale for everyone...including the copraphages.

For what it's worth, I slept very well last night.

Very well, indeed.

DR MBarnum: It's quite disheartening to read that the heating people have failed to repair your heating system.

I think you should insist on their sending you a heating specialist to keep you warm until such time as the system is repaired.

My mom and I went shopping today in Aiken SC. I wasn't so much "into" shopping as I was into "looking."

My mom had other ideas, seeking to find things that interested me to, later, put under our tree.

Of course, that was fine once I understood the rules of the game.

It's quite disconcerting, however, having to justify why I picked something up or what would I want with "that" or "why" I would want something.

I was, honestly, just looking.

So...imagine going from store to store full of intriguing, and sometimes beautiful, things, and daring not to touch something, or be too obvious about looking at something, etc.

And then...there is the cost of something I am willing to pay for because it's worth it to me and learning that it's considered too expensive and not something most people would want.

It's been rainy and dreary here today.

I'm in a funk.

My mom has been off-and-on cranky, too.

Oh, I was more than cranky for part of the day. I think it's something in the stars and planets....JRand, am I close?

Is that the current euphemism these days?

Yes, "scrubbing the hearth"....the physical act of "XXXing the XXXXX after XXXXXX."

This afternoon I went for a walk at the river preserve, and this is what I saw:

Enjoying the Sondheim in the Movies cd that I picked up from the library.

Nice disk, but it is missing a major Sondheim movie song:

I Never Do Anything Twice" (from 7.5 Percent Solution).

I wonder why BK left it out?

Check and see if your Library has the Bernadette Peters Album "Sondheim, etc." If they do, you might want to check it out and see if it is the original release with the wonderful (etc, not Sonheim) song "Making Love Alone" - Track #4, or have they the exprugated version that deleted that track!

Most of the trees have lost their leaves by now. This would have been a great photo last week:

I have the original Bernadette release with that song! When the second disc was released, I remembered an article on Playbill.com where someone reviewed the whole concert and listed all the songs in the correct order. I took the two individual officially released CDs and made one whole complete double-disc concert recording. I think I did a good job.

I did make a change in the order of songs in one section to make things easy on me, and I cut about five seconds from act one because the two original CDs each had an introduction, but it's a great concert and I think it's better in the (predominantly) correct order.

Because BK had just recorded it for another album - a Sherlock Holmes collection, sung by Miss Judy Kaye. I didn't feel like doing it again, frankly.

We're going to top three hundred posts - that is my feeling at this time, oh, yes, at this time that is my feeling.

Even if I have to make 100 postings to do it!

I want a White Christmas....I'm not dreaming, this is Iowa. We don't have rain in December, we have snow. This is most unseemly

Cillaliz · « **Reply #209 on:** December 21, 2006, 05:42:38 PM »

I am finally relaxing and am getting hungry for something...I may have to wander to the kitchen after Ugly Betty and find something to eat
