BK sorry to hear about your incident. Some people should not be allowed to drive!

BK or the other guy?   

[JMK]

I believe I saw Wendell Corey as Emile in South Pacific (I kid you not) when I was but a very young child.  This may explain my strange fear of South Pacific in subsequent years. 

[Druxy]

John Carradine played the mad scientist in THE ASTRO ZOMBIES (What else?)

I recall him saying, "They always cast me as the doctor of spastic pathology."

I do recall he came to Seattle during the 1950s in THE CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL. 

He played Greenwald.  Paul Douglas was Queeg and the cast also had Steve Brodie & Robert Lowery.

My folks took me to see it at the now gone Orpheum Theater.

Ooooh!  Oooooh!  Neighborhood smackdown alert.  Some idiot attempted to drive and has gotten stuck in front of a neighbor's house (you can see the house in my "front yard" pic).  This neighbor is an elderly lady who just freaks out if anyone parks in front of her house (even though it's perfectly legal).  We can see her staring out her window right now, ready to pounce.  The trouble is, I don't think she can walk down the hill to accost the guy without slipping.  Film at 11!

Isn't it amazing what passes for entertainment these days?

I don't know if BK has ever asked this, but here's a question that should bring back memories:

What is the first professional stage play (or musical) you ever saw?

Mine was HARVEY with Joe E. Brown.

I was 5-years-old.  My grandmother took me to see it.

I still recall some very specific moments, including Brown sitting down an talking to the audience after the curtain call.

First professional play (musical):

ONCE UPON A MATTRESS with Imogene Coca, King Donovan, and Edward Everett Horton.

It's so weird just sitting home on a sunday watching the snow fall.

[TCB]

Hmm, it is starting to snow - again.

There was a huge sigh of relief yesterday as rail service resumed between Christmasvillagetown and the Nativity Scene.  A light bulb was obtained from the BB Train and Hobby Shop (Lloyd's having shut down sometime during the past year) and installed yesterday evening, allowing residents to commence their holiday travels.

Dan, as a friend, let me tell you that you need to get out more often.

[TCB]

George, how is your snow?

[George]

Good almost-afternoon (PST), everyone!

[Dan (the Man)]

Last night I was treated to a surprise birthday treat and was taken to a performance of A CHORUS LINE in Philly.  Yes, it wasn't quite the show I remembered, and this production doesn't carry the emotional wallop it used to have, but it was still an enjoyable experience.

But if I do, the trains won't run on time!

[George]

George, how is your snow?

It's white as ever...and falling.  It's nice out, but cold.  I'm going to attempt to go to the store for my mom, but if I need to go home, I will.  Fortunately, most of the non-freeway driving is on level ground with very few hills or dips, so I'll just have to drive very carefully.  I don't think it'll be a problem.  We'll see.

Yes.  Of course.  I wasn't thinking.

[Dan (the Man)]

I wasn't sure I would be able to get out at all today--I woke up to find that we had freezing rain during the night and that everything was coated with ice.  While it looks pretty, you wouldn't catch me dead going out and diving in it.

Fortunately, the temperatures have risen and the ice has melted, so as soon as I clean my bathroom, I'm heading on out to finish up the shopping.

[George]

Well, I got the official call about a half hour ago that what would've been today's final performance of Reefer Madness! The Musical! has been cancelled...officially. They're going to see if we can do a one-night quasi-concert performance at another space after Christmas or the new year and get some people who couldn't see the show this weekend.  Wish us luck!

Thanks.  It's a bummer.

[DERBRUCER]

If there's anything you need, have Jed or I come by and stand under your balcony and we'll throw it up to you!

Oh, the possibilities are rife...     

Now - let's throw it up for TCB

All together now....

Oh - Toby joined in

[George]

In the 22 years that I lived there (until the end of 1963), we has some snow...but never like that and always in February or March.

It's Global Warming!  It's the End of the World!!

[Ann]

Well, I've been inspired by Jose to do some baking, but I found my kitchen lacking some critical supplies.  My DS Toby is wanting to nurse 24/7 and he screams bloody murder if I try to leave, so brave DH Jed is heading out to pick up some more molasses, shortening, chocolate chips, and nilla wafers for me.  Such a good guy.

[DERBRUCER]

BTW: Did you notice that Wayne Rogers co-wrote THE ASTRO ZOMBIES?

Wayne Rogers from M*A*S*H*?

Yup.

In fact, I think he even helped arrange the film's financing.

And now he's a regular talking head on FOXNews financial shows.

[George]

Well, I need to take a shower and get dressed for outside weather.  We'll see if I can first of all, get my car started, then get to the store, then get to my parents' house, and all safely!

Have a good day, all!

[Ann]

I did manage to walk the few blocks to Walgreens to pick up the Christmas pictures of Toby I had printed up to send in our Christmas letters.  And, because I know you guys never get tired of me posting pictures of my son, here they are





Ok, I promise no more Toby pics until next year

Bring on  Mussolini  - he makes the trains run on time.

Don't you dare deprive us

Or I'll post more snake and spider pictures
