Well, you've read the notes, the notes were stuffed, and now it is time for you to post until the stuffed cows come home.

And the word of the day is: CONSANGUINEOUS!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Yesterday was a day of eating.

Today will be a day of eating less than what was eaten yesterday...and I will help hang lights. That'll burn some calories.

After reading the notes, I have "Tick Tock" going through my head...and it's one of those songs that once it gets in my head, it doesn't leave easily. $:-\$

Fortunately, I like the song, so I don't mind...yet.

That's a great story about Ilona Simon, BK!

Morning all.

We are going to lunch at Anthony's aunt and uncle (great aunt and great uncle actually since his mother is an only child and they are Rose's aunt and uncle). We have no shopping plans but if a store doesn't seem too busy we may stop in on our way there or back.

It's soggy in New York (at least on Long Island) but it's almost 50 degrees.

I hope the nice temperatures hold out until December 3rd when we do our load in for the Holiday Gift Bag packing.

Kevin, if you see this, we begin December 3rd and continue December 6th through the 10th and December 13th through the 17th. If you're available we would love to have you help out.

Anyone else reading this in the New York area is welcome also. Just come to the Actors Equity offices at 165 W. 46th St. You need ID to enter the building. Go to the second floor and tell the person at the desk that you are there to help with the Holiday Gift Bags. Go through the lounge to the back (take a left) and you will see lots of old (and some young) elves making merry and filling bags with sweaters and hats and scarves and gloves and whatever else we can get (including a small bag of candy with a lottery ticket) to give to people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. As I mentioned we do a load in on December 3rd at 9:30am and then begin the bag filling on December 6th at 10am. We work until 3 or 4 pm each day (Monday through Friday). It's a good cause and you'll meet some great people. You don't need to call anyone, just show up. The more the merrier!

Good morning, all! Jo is vacuuming and I am on my first cup of coffee. Her dinner yesterday was immense and quite wonderful, with both - as my mom always prepared - ham and turkey. She and Randy will have leftovers for several days.

So today is a quiet one until 4:00 when I meet with Tim Lewis, the realtro I tried to use to sell the property earlier in the year. Randy is furious and refuses to meet with him and he has told Jo that she can't go with me. So, since this route appears futile, I'm thinking of telling my brothers that I will give them six months to prove to me they're actively trying to sell the property or I will sue them. Perhaps they will finally buy me out?

After that, a visit with DR Ginny and Richard.

Sounds as though everyone's Thanksgiving was a nice one. I"m happy that Yogi was rescued from his ice flow like Eliza in UNCLE TOM"S CABIN. I liked your Promises Promises story, BK.

As I mentioned yesterday, we had a lovely dinner and then we watched Poor Little Rich Girl on Turner on Demand. Poor Shirley, if I was an adult I would stay away from her. Someone always gets either hurt or killed when she's around (like Jessica Fletcher, when she's around you know there will be a murder). The poor nurse Collin gets her purse stolen and then gets hit by a car and we never see her again but Shirley goes on to have a great adventure with Jack Haley and Alice Faye! We had a great time watching the movie.

We have no other plans for viewing or listening. Whatever happens will happen. We won't go to a movie but we may watch something here if the spirit moves us.

We will return to the city on Sunday and then I have 3 more days at the office before a month-long reprieve.

Now it's bathroom time.

Later, gators.

Since I only have the CDs I brought with me to play in the rental car, this is my TOD:
PHI Recordings (still unreleased) Babes In Toyland; The Lady OF The Slipper; Oh Boy!; Oh, Lady! Lady!; Have A Heart.
I also brought "Christmas comes Anew" (New York City Gay Men's Chorus).

More coffee!

Peter Filichia likes Bruce! Here is an excerpt from his column today:

On to books. Bruce Kimmel’s delightful and sobering “There’s Mel, There’s Woody, and There’s You” should be read by everyone who wants a career in any facet of show business. Kimmel details a life of so-near-yet-so-far-ism, where making wrong decisions had so many unforeseen ramifications (for such projects as The First Nudie Musical) . We meet a number of executives who love Kimmel when he’s hot but suddenly are unreachable when he’s not. Along the way, there are plenty of if-I-knew-then-what-I-know-now situations, and yet Kimmel always tells his story with good humor and in a breezy conversational style.

Here is the full column. It's got suggestions on theatre-related gifts for the holidays

All Good Gifts

Good morning. That is all.

Friday morning greetings! The rain has finally stopped in SW Ohio and now it's sunny and cold. I'm getting myself together to visit the post office and my beloved Vera Bradley enabler. That's the only store I'm even going near today.

We're looking forward to DR Elmore's visit this evening!

If you're thinking about trying to get a $89 Kindle, here's what you need to know http://newssimplified.com/amazon-kindle-2-89-black-friday-deal/2570/ it's a generation 2 Kindle not the most recent version

Jennifer · « **Reply #22 on:** November 26, 2010, 07:14:50 AM »

DR Elmore I absolutely do not understand why your brother refuses to use a realtor? The property has been unsold for so long. Since you don't get out there that often I would totally meet with the realtor. You are in need of money. And they are being ridiculous. How do they think it is going to sell? I think that they should either buy you out or let you have some say.

We did something we've never done before--got up early to hit Freddy's for their BF sale. Got there at 5:15 to find that the netbooks and BD players were already gone. Amazing. Oh, well--we got socks 1/2 off, a videogame for Gabe and groceries. I'm sleepy.

JMK - What is Freddy's? Is it like a Best Buy or Crazy Eddie?

It's our local Kroger affiliate--Fred Meyer.

They had $199 netbooks and $49 BD players this morning. Evidently for about 10 seconds.

JMK · « **Reply #27 on:** November 26, 2010, 07:42:52 AM »

I ended up getting a $69 BD player at Amazon which will probably be of better quality. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I too did the Black Friday bit, at the last minute. I popped over to BIG LOTS as they had TV season sets for $6. Not much of interest for me, but I might go back this weekend (when it is less busy) to get the GOMER PYLE season 4, as that is the season that Miss Allison Hayes appeared in a couple of episodes.

There were also season sets of PERRY MASON, LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY, DIAGNOSIS MURDER, LAGUNA BEACH, STREETS OF SAN FRANCISO, WILD WILD WEST and more....(but just certain seasons...like WILD WILD WEST season 3 part 1 or THE ODD COUPLE the final season...things like that).
