Getting ready for .... work....
Everyone have a good Saturday.
TOD:
Any wacky, unpredictable things I may have done were done so long ago I don't even remember what they may have been, but chances are that they involved alcohol.
Dan M - Really enjoying your parody work here on HHW!
Where are you located?
Happy Birthday, Edward Gorey!!! :)

Thank you so much, everyone, for the continued vibes and good wishes. More swollen and sore today, but that is what is expected. Slowly and surely, my body will recover. But all of you sure help! Thanks.
DR Jane - the "ice tsunami" photos and videos were very scary! I live on the Mississippi River, but fortunately high atop a large hill.
WACKY EVENT THAT I CAN RECALL:
One that comes to mind and is suitable for reading here (and in an indirect way relates to the subject of westerns vis a vis Red Gold):
During my time as an undergraduate, the drinking age was changed and then changed back for some dumb reason. Anyway, to celebrate, a group of us got together and toddled on over to Collegetown where I was "magically" transformed into Nasty McNasty (of Warner Bros. cartoon fame). Not being a drinker, the effects of the many White Russians I had made me think that I could slide the glasses down the length of the bar just like in the Old West. Needless to say, I broke quite a few glasses and pitchers. Before you could say "Randolph Scott", my buddies got me out of there to avoid any problems. In real life, I am a very Clark Kent-ish person, but I discovered that night I can be really wild given a bit of the old spirits. I learned my lesson though. I was so sick for the next 2-3 days, that I have never, ever gotten that inebriated again, and never will.
The reading of my play went extremely well. I was very pleased.
My dog decided that he likes living with us. Indeed, he virtually ignored his former owners for the 2-3 hours that they were here.
No packages today.
You'd think it was a Saturday or something. Most unseemly.
It's very much a movie of its time. And I still hate the florid score.

Have you read the book? I identified with much of the story, especially his sister, which is based on Conroy's family.
So tonight was our Third Annual Chili contest at church - the theme this year was A Night at the Oscars and each cook's table was given a Best Picture winner as their theme. Our picture was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
I did win third prize for my chili I think there were 14 chili cooks this year

Congratulations, Vixmom. And great photos.
Hate to burst your bubble, but molasses does not belong in chili.
Great photo of you in the blue dress, Vixmom. And nice to see the Vixter.
I am off to bed!
My head is so congested, I used the neti pot tonight to unclog my sinuses. I have to be up early to deal with all my prep work before I leave for the sessions. Since it's Sunday, God know the bus routes are more screwed up than usual. I will take the No. 104 to Lincoln Center and transfer to the No. 11 bus to 9th and 45th Street. I'd like to be there by 10:30, so I'll leave around 9:15.
Tonight I watched HOCUS POCUS, which was on my Netflix queue for Halloween, but I kept moving other films to the top of the list. It had funny moments but went on too long. Last night's film was much better.
DR vixmom, you look lovely in your sparkly blue dress. Molasses in chili? Oy!

This year they had a red "carpet" and photographers to take our pictures
we were encouraged to dress as if we were to walk the red carpet.
I scoured the local thrift shops and finally found a dress sequined, beaded, and rhinestoned within an inch of its life

I don't feel bad, just congested, but thank you for the vibes! I want to be alert and ready for anything tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Vibes for elmore's Sunday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dinner was great. I passed out CD's that I made called "The Last 45 Years" made up of music of the last 45 years that have been inspirational in my life or have somewhat made up the "soundtrack" of my life. It was too fun, and I could have filled a second CD.
Closing weekend vibes for DR GEORGE and MR BK.
Continued show vibes for DR FJL.
Good morning, all! Another early morning of ROBERTA dreams and anxiety, and after too much of it, i decided it was time to get out of bed. Tomorrow we have Day One of recording, so today I will listen to the first edits a few times to get a few things into my head. I'll spend part of the day working on the liner notes as well.
Coffee!
Listening to our new release - an early St. Patrick's Day gift.
