Wasn't Mr. Grantseeker the guy that ran the Variety Arts in GYPSY?

The eagle has landed, so to speak.

A short, non-eventful flight to Cincinnati and a delayed boarding of my flight to Columbia compounded by a back-up on the runway had me arriving one hour late. No weather/technical difficulties blamed.

Am tired. Am hungry. And it's warm here.

It's like summer...almost.

Laters....

I think it's possible to enjoy Mr. Sondheim AND Mr. Herman. They are completely different animals, but both have their strengths and, heresy though it may be, their weaknesses.

I've viewed the Golden Globe noms, which are as ridiculous as always - who spent the most money, who courted the Foreign Press the most - and bingo - nomination. It's nice to see that my favorite film composer, Clint Eastwood, is up for both score and song. One just scratches one's cabeza.

Looks like a pretty day out. Oh, and in case I haven't mentioned it - I'm up.

Welcome to the Eastern Time Zone, DR Ron Pulliam! Hope you enjoyed your visit to Cincinnati (well, northern Kentucky, actually...).

*Alas, my "Court Room" is just a franchise branch right now. I sold all interest in the locations west of the Rockies years ago.

I suppose you had to in order to support your Levain habit.

I've hardly seen any of those movies!

Oh well, I'll just be rooting for Kyra and The Company. I can't figure out what the 3rd TNT nomination is...

Hello, everyone.

I slept uncharacteristically late today. I went to bed early last night, but got engrossed in a book--again--so it was late when I finally went to sleep.

I just got a call from TLC on-air and they booked me fore the first 3 weeks of January. (I'll be in NY @ the 26th for a Bat Mitzvah.) Guess I can finally do some xmas shopping! Whew!

TCB,
I LOVED your comment about the tombstone last night!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #101 on:** December 13, 2007, 10:42:53 AM »

The stove installers just left. Despite our very careful planning---Greg went to Sears and got the installation specs so we could run the gas line and the wiring---the gas pipe and outlet are both in the wrong place. Greg spent a long time working on these to get them exactly right.

In the words of the Sears installer: I don't know who draws these things, but this is wrong". Oy!

Anyway, it looks installed enough to get my $200 rebate from the gas company, and we'll just deal with reconfiguring when Greg has time.

And it sure *looks* nice!

I have no problem enjoying musicals by Mr Herman - despite my love of Sondheim's work. I do prefer the songs from "The Grand Tour", "Dear World" and "Mack and Mabel" to the "done to death" Dolly and Mame.

Of course I still need a few more years away from seeing "Into The Woods" again too. For some reason I've not tired of "Company" which I've seen more.

I guess Miss Spectacular and Mrs Santa Clause were Jerry Herman's "Bounce".

Friend John called from the airport---they are cancelling a lot of flights to NY, so he may come back and stay with us until he can get a flight.

Bailey will be very happy to have his buddy back!

now I have the theme from "Tombstone Territory" running though my head.

Trivia - there was even a successful Top 40 version of Dear World's title song here in OZ.

I'm listening to the lovely Wanda Sa, one of many sexy Brazilian singers from the 60s. In the Astrud Gilberto mold, which is okay by me.

Good Afternoon!

Back from the gym... Whew!

I decided to give the rowing machine a try. It's always been one of those machines that looked "boring" to me, so I never really gave it a shot. Recently, I've been coming across articles about a "good rowing machine workout", so I went ahead and gave it a try today.

I discovered that the machine was equipped with a computer display, and it even had a "How To" tutorial, complete with an animation that you rowed along with to check your form. Cool! After about five minutes of getting acclimated, I set the timer for 30 minutes...

I knew my upper body got a good workout, but I was surprised at how much of a workout my legs got. I definitely had "sea legs" once I stood up after my workout. Whew!

My company has closed for the day due to the storm, and I am safely home.

DR Edisaurus - rejoicing with you on the good job news!

Will you be in the NYC area in late January, or elsewhere in the state?

Welcome home.

It's definitely ugly outside here in NYC, at least in my 'hood. The two block walk to and from the gym was cold, slushy, sleety and slippery.

Of course, since it's supposed to be in the mid-40s tomorrow, tomorrow is bound to be a bit slushy too.

Did Abba sing "one more walk around the garden"?
