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

The video auromatically downloaded to my tablet and played without any trouble.  Hopefully, it'll work for you, Tom.

Good night, Tom and BK.  And have a good day, all!

We are relaxing in our room and plan to stay put for the entire evening.  We have ordered room service for dinner.  The restaurants in the hotel were booked and we don't want to go out into the crowds.  The view from our room is too great not to stay put.

I would prefer to be anywhere but midtown today, but I will go into City Center for a bit.  I'm not sure how long I will stay, but as the day progresses, it will get crazy with those folk who prefer to be in Times Square on New Year's Eve.

Tonight we have our friends coming over, but I tend to wander in and out of that and check in here during the “out” times.

However, tonight’s partay is somewhat mitigated by the fact of our friend’s death earlier in the month, as he was a loyal and valued presence at this very event for many years, and I will have to spend a little more time with the others in moments of remembrance. But I will be here off and on.

It’s too bad BK’s complete video doesn’t include the latest adjustments. We sometimes video our things here and I know that regret all too well. The obvious solution is to make it a point always to capture one of the last shows, but that so often isn’t convenient.

Watching a rather odd early Fassbinder movie, Katzelmacher. Made for about $174, plus beer budget, from the looks of it. It doesn't seem to be about much yet, except that everyone is sleeping with everyone else, sometimes for money, sometimes for fun. It's supposedly about immigration, but I haven't heard anything about that yet.

Tonight beginning at 6 p.m EST, Antenna TV is showing the entire run of The Paul Lynde Show - a weird misfire that lasted half a season.

I remember being excited about Lynde having his own show, then I started to watch it, and I couldn't figure out why they were trying to shoehorn him into a family type sitcom when that obviously did NOT fit his persona.

All during the summer, great things were being said about it and I remember Peter Marshall congratulating Paul and saying that audiences at the filmings were going crazy over the show....

And then.....BIG FAILURE.  By January it was gone and Paul had been moved to another clunky sitcom called Temperatures Rising....that limped along until the end of the season....

So, the movie has 12 minutes left and it has become what is supposed to be about, and it ain't pretty. But it's a fairly accurate depiction of parts of German -- and American -- society.

Well checking on the inner web, it seems I was incorrect....The Paul Lynde Show did have a full 26 episode season and lasted until March....THEN Paul went into The New Temperatures Rising the next fall.....

I'm nominated for four Robby Awards, five if you can't Everybody Rise: A Resistance Cabaret, which I directed.  Three Kritzerland shows are up and I'm up for best music and lyrics for A Carol Christmas - very happy about that.

Congrats, BK!  And Good Luck!!

And TCM is showing That's Entertainment I II & III followed by That's Dancing.....I will switch over when I give up on Paul....who was also saddled with Elizabeth Allan as his wife.....I had seen her try to be funny with John Wayne in Donovan's Reef.....but I suppose the writers must bear the most blame for this failure....

I recorded That's Entertainment I II & III and That's Dancing a couple of years ago.  I still have them on my DVR.  Eventually, I want to learn how to make Blu-rays of them, then actually make Blu-rays of them.

And so it seems that The Paul Lynde Show and Temperatures Rising were given to ABC instead of two season of Bewitched that Elizabeth Montgomery and soon to be ex-husband William Asher were not interested in doing....

And the show is based on a Phoebe Ephron play that had been developed into a sitcom to take the place of The Dick Van Dyke Show - which instead of being canceled was renewed for a second season.

When Asher/Screen Gems needed a show for Lynde - it was dusted off.

Look forward to watching the video when I get off the phone with AT&T. Is there another company with worse customer service? I know, I ask this every time I deal with them.

A few months ago I switched back to AT&T from T-Mobile. I had thought AT&T customer service was bad, so I went to T-Mobile thinking it'd be better and cheaper. T-Mobile was worse. In the years I was gone AT&T changed their rates and I now pay less--considerably less--than I did with T-Mobile.

Our first usher manager told us about the time someone brought a service horse with him to an event. (This was at the rodeo, which almost seems clichced.) Her response was that if the animal fits within the space of the chair, it was OK by her. If not, the patron needs an extra ticket.

Yes, but when a horse, even a miniature horse, takes a dump the whole plane would know about it.  And you can’t house train a horse.

Today at work, I read through a whole bunch of library policies and had to sign a document stating that I read them.  One of them was about service animals, and dogs and miniature horses are the only service animals that are allowed on library property. :-\

The tuna pasta salad is simplicity itself, but it's all in how much you use of any given thing.  It's really just a can of Gold Bumblebee prime tuna, elbow macaroni noodles, Best Foods mayonnaise, finely chopped red onion, and salt and pepper.

I started watching an interview with Laurence Olivier that Kenneth Tynan did. I'm not fond of Tynan. And I find the clips of Olivier as various Shakespeare figures to be overly mannered. His Othello was laughable on screen, though it might have worked in the theater. (He seems to be channeling Eartha Kitt.)

We will probably go in search of snow tomorrow. We probably won't have to go far. She has never seen snow.

I never has seen snow ...

Makes me want to listen to House of Flowers.

Have you ever added eggs and/or relish to it?

Don't like relish, but eggs might be amusing.

The tuna pasta sounds good, BK. I am a purist also. The only thing I would add is some finely chopped celery.

I learned a new tradition today. Supposedly people who wear red underwear at New Year's believe they will find love in the new year.

So, did anybody wear red underwear?

The Space Needle has fireworks going off and all the musical excerpts that they've chosen to play along with them are by female artists.  That's pretty cool.
