Larry, i missed the first five minutes of the show.  What was talked about at the beginning of Onstage, before the interview with Lee Wilkof and Boyd Gaines?

BK, I liked the previews for Hidden Figures, but now I definitely want to see it.  Next weekend, I'm going.

Same here.  I love anything about the early space program anyway, but this seals it.

The cast of No Pay, Nudity is amazing. Donna Murphy, Nathan Lane, Ellen Foley and a host of theater favorites. I hadn't heard of it. Now I really want to see it.

Sorry, I honestly do not remember! It was background noise as I dressed and made coffee.

Me, too.  I love Lee.  He's from the Dayton OH area.

Always Seymour to me. I know that's sad, especially when he's done so much, including Assassins. But I see that name and I think Suddenly Seymour.

The bed is made, I've had two cups of coffee, and it's time to head out and shop.

We've been friends for so long.  I last saw him when he was in the Encores! Little Me.

Saturday morning greetings!  We have a wild and crazy New Year's Eve planned - go out for a late lunch and be home in time to see the college football playoff semi-finals.  I have some appetizers ready for an evening buffet.

On the issue the other day of getting Chinese food that's extra crispy:  I was told yesterday by someone at Ollie's restaurant that the way to do this when ordering delivery in their restaurant is to ask for it to be well done.

I read about Hidden Figures in the newspaper yesterday. That was the first I'd heard of it.  It's one I'd like to see.

Back from pharmacy and market, but the grocery - for a supermarket - wasn't as well-stocked as I'd like.  I have to step out again for some more staples.

Thanks to MR BK for the Hidden Figures write up - I am glad to hear that I was being misled by the promos.....

I'm up, I'm up.  Almost eight hours of sleep.  And yes, on the final day of the year, they are hammering.  Thankfully I slept through it.

Listening to the tuba concerto of Samuel Jones, the composer I discovered last week (even though I've had a CD of his for two decades that I either listened to then and never went back to, or didn't listen to at all - he's the one I wrote an e-mail to and got a lovely response.  I'd already ordered the other two or three CDs with works by him (VERY cheap as they're on Naxos), and he'd recommended two DVDs that had works by him.  So far I've liked everything I've heard and will tell him so.  The tuba concerto is very good, but I'm not that fond of certain instruments as concerto solos - the tuba being one of them, the French horn being another, the trumpet being another.  Somehow those instruments, for me, become tiresome in the solo sections after a while.  Whereas I love violin, viola, cello, clarinet, saxophone, and harmonic concertos.

I'm listening to Pierre Monteux's wonderful RCA recording of Petrouchka.  He knows the piece really well; he conducted the premiere in 1911.

My shopping went well.  Tomorrow I will make a huge vat of vegetable beef soup and freeze most of it.  I decided to put it off today and jump into it tomorrow morning

We shoot fireworks out of our Space Needle.

That would be nice to see, if it wasn't so darn cold.

My exciting plans this evening are to pick people up at the airport and the drive 30 minutes south to drop one of the off so they can party and turn around and drive 60 minutes north back home with them. This of course if traffic is normal and there are no crazy out there.

Boy, do you know how to have fun.
