Haines His Way

I've always thought that Taxidancing was more appropriate to Disney animation. Perhaps the newest feature about Cars may include it.

Whew!  Such a tough subject, DR TOMovOZ.  Wasn't there at least one play about Marathon Dancing?  I don't think it was a musical, though.  And you are right about the subject being down....of course, if you think about it....CHICAGO wasn't exactly champagne and caviar.  

Didn't June Havoc write a play about marathon dancing............ [/font] [/size]

And I finished the evening with another rerun, this time LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT on NBC. I didn't remember this one either apart from the actor playing the computer genius. The story seemed completely new to me though his face was very familiar.

We are having Onion soup for lunch.. I shall not invite François as I remember his comments about the effects of consuming it.

Yeah, that happened to me a lot, back in my drinking days.

Last year, I paid a huge chunk of money to have H&R Block do my taxes for me. The amounts have been steadily increasing there for years, and so this year, I decided to buy tax preparation software and see what I could do on my own.

Yes, it took an entire Saturday morning to enter the information and a couple of other days to update the information when amended forms came in.

However, I got the entire federal and state returns done, printed out, and mailed for less than $60 (not counting what I owed, of course). I can't see ever going back to H&R again. My return at one time really required an expert to do it since I was living in one state and working in another. Now, I think I should be able to handle it myself with the aid of the computer.

I wish I could claim that excuse. My problem is plain old senility.

I have taken the RENT DVD out and will more than likely watch it tomorrow afternoon.

"The Easter Egg Parade" by Jimmy Wakely was a good 45 I had as a kid.

Thank you, one and all, for the good vibes.

I probably should finally explain what the kids next door and a few other good friends already know.

For the second time in my young thirty-eight (Oh, Okay) fifty-five years, I am going to have my left hip replaced.  I see the surgeon next Thrusday, and will probably schedule the operation for sometime in early May.

Since this is a replacement, the surgery will be more evasive, and more painful (whoopee).   That means I will be off work for about six to eight weeks.  The good news is that I will be able to post during the daytime hours for the majority of my recovery.

I send good thoughts and I hope the surgery all goes well.

And didn't MY FARE, LADY include the song "Wouldn't It Be Livery?"

MMM The Queen of Shiver.  Wasn't she a character in that famous play about the arrival of the man who brought the frozen water.

My inane moment (one of many): I was trying to take photos of my friend and her new baby with my digital camera. Every time I snapped a photo, the camera was just shutting down. I changed the battery, still no change. It turned off I was pressing the power button instead of the button that takes a picture.

I like bananas, because they have no bones.
