Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a test, and now it is time for you to post until the tested cows come home - they, of course, were tested for Cowvid.
-
And the word of the day is: SAGACIOUS!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.

The answer to George’s question:
No.
Did anyone else watch the Lea Salonga concert from Sydney?

The answer to George’s question:
No.
Did anyone else watch the Lea Salonga concert from Sydney?
I recorded it and spot-checked it when I got home, but it's also a pledge drive, but according to PBS' website (https://www.kcts9.org/show/great-performances/episode/lea-salonga-in-concert-quaix1), the whole program is just under an hour, so hopefully, the whole concert was actually broadcast.
-
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I, too, would rather be anywhere but shopping on Black Friday.
-
The cats and I had a nice day staying inside and disregarding all thoughts of Black Friday.
-
I slept rather well and I remember no dreams at all. Annabelle and Thatch joined me sometime after 3:00 to get warm, and Stella seems to prefer being my alarm clock. She has a knack lately for pestering me about 15 minutes before the alarm is set to ring.
-
BK, I hope you have a CVS appointment and not a long wait for your test.
-
Last night we watched a couple of TV movies, boh based on fact:
THE DAY REAGAN WAS SHOT
THE DEADLY TOWER
Both were very good.
-
T.O.D.
Never a big fan of Eddie Murphy, though 48 HOURS was fun.
-
Kitty cleanup is finished. I keep all the cats' treats in a plastic washtub by the cat tree. Annabelle, who is treat-mad, spends her time hanging around and sniffing that washtub reminds me of a little kid around a Christmas tree on Dec. 23.
-
This is the bakery that produced my Thanksgiving apple pie.

Tres elegante, DR elmore3003!
-
Thank you, DRs John G. and George, for pointing out the An American in Paris link.
-
~~~TESTING VIBES~~~ for bk!
-
Cowvid.
It's a good thing no groaning is allowed on HHW.
-
Hello sailor.
-
THIS IS A TEST.
-
I saw this on CNN and wondered if it might impact bk's shooting schedule:
All public and private gatherings with people outside a single household will be prohibited for three weeks in Los Angeles County starting Monday to curb an unprecedented spread of coronavirus, the Department of Public Health announced in a news release.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good morning, all.

Testing vibes for MR BK.

Shadow of a Doubt was on last night - and since I enjoyed the discussion here last week, I watched it again. It is a most excellent movie and Teresa Wright is wonderful.
I looked on Wikipedia to read about it and made the mistake of clicking on the link to read about the case that inspired the story....ugh.....
-
I also wonder about the credit:
We thank Thornton Wilder for his contribution.....etc etc etc.....in addition to his screen writing credit.....nobody seems to have discussed this credit.....so there you are.
I'm guessing he gave them guidance on small town America.....
-
I was just reminded this morning (by rummaging through the fridge) that on my shopping trip for Thanksgiving supplies I picked up a package of hot dogs, buns, and a can of chili. Onions and cheese were already here. So...guess what I'll be having one of these days soon? Maybe even today, depending on when we do the tree thing, or if we do it tomorrow instead.
-
Of course I feel it is my duty to point out that there are still plenty of turkey dinner leftovers. I had an entire plate of it last night, and as always with T-Day leftovers, it was wonderful. I hope I still fit into my jeans today.
-
TOD
I loved TRADING PLACES and the original BEVERLY HILLS COP back in the day. I don't remember enough about 48 HRS. and should probably see it again.
Then I hated his horrible NUTTY PROFESSOR remake, and had no interest in DOCTOR DOLITTLE. I enjoyed THE HAUNTED MANSION, and his Donkey in SHREK is fine but I have yet to see any of the SHREK sequels.
I haven't seen DOLEMITE, but I will get to it eventually.
-
I, too, would rather be anywhere but shopping on Black Friday.
I never left the house yesterday except to walk down to the mailbox where I retrieved my Anyone Can Whistle CD.
-
So, was this Anyone Can Whistle worth the wait?
-
I can't take depressing family dramas anymore. I'm taking the unwatched ones back to the library today.
-
TOD:
Always have been a big Eddie Murphy fan, since the days I saw his standup live and his SNL days. But, boy, can he make a dog of a movie. ChasSmith has mentioned several. But when he's on, as he is in Dreamgirls as James Thunder Early, he can be exciting.
I haven't seen him in Dolomite, but I want to.
Some other favorites:
Trading Places
48 Hrs.
Another 48 Hrs.
Coming to America
Beverly Hills Cop
-
Watching Barbra somebody or other in Up the Sandbox. I haven't seen this in ages and maybe not all the way through. At least it's not too depressing.
-
We are making broth from the chicken carcass, and boy, does the house smell good!
-
Saturday morning greetings! I'm all suited up for Michigan football at noon. During the game I will finish one of the Christmas presents I'm making for Mary Linda and afterwards I'll continue working on another.
-
Nothing exciting to report.
-
I watched a few college basketball games yesterday and will watch a few more today.
Hopefully DR GINNY's team will win the pigskin scuffle today.

The season, which I think never should have happened, is not going well for anyone.

TOD:
Beverly Hills Cop
48 HRS & its sequel
Shrek
I have not seen Dolemite either, although I saw the Rudy Ray Moore movie on TCM late one night last year....it was most excellent...
I of course liked Eddie Murphy on SNL and his stand up - particularly when he talked about his dad and the rest of his family - was most enjoyable.....I still laugh about how his aunt fell down the stairs.......
-
This is true DR GINNY.....and a lot of folks are getting blamed that really have nothing to do with the situation....especially by some big mouth coaches who are not used to being disagreed with by ANYONE.....ANYWHERE.
-
One of the common taters on one game really took a coach to task after he tweeted about his hard choices in choosing opponents and how rough he was having it...... During a game the C.T. said: "Hey [coach's name] it's not about you - it's about the kids. Take care of them and make sure they're handling everything okay....it's NOT ABOUT YOU."
And during the next game in the series, another C.T. said: "Well [coach's name] you can certainly tell us how you feel...it's valid....don't stop talking...."
I'm sure someone's ESPN telephone rang during the interim with the crybaby coach wailing to the big brass.....
-
Just so you know:
Neptune goes direct in the sign it rules, compassionate Pisces today, enhancing your intuition and bringing out your spiritual side. This special pairing can lead to emotional healing and give you clarity about topics that can really make a difference in your life.

Good afternoon!
-
Watching Barbra somebody or other in Up the Sandbox. I haven't seen this in ages and maybe not all the way through. At least it's not too depressing.
Saw it recently. It's not one of my favorites, but I enjoyed parts of it.
-
Recorded "Shadow of a Doubt" and most of the other Hitchcock movies on TCM the last few days. I watched "The Man Who Knew Too Much" yesterday. Its's another favorite.
-
Looking forward to "Saboteur" and "Marnie." I've never seen those.
-
I'm up, I'm up - I have no idea how much sleep I did or didn't get - I suspect around six hours.
-
If DR Jrand70 signs a release, "Common Taters" will be the title of my next something-or-other.
-
From DR George:
It's been mandated that stores can only allow a certain percentage of their total capacity.
I know. I just like the fact it was not only mandated but being honored.
-
I saw this on CNN and wondered if it might impact bk's shooting schedule:

I had meant to ask yesterday and was distracted by my concern for our friends. I am worried the father and sister will get sick on the drive home.

Druxy & John, did you know your government has been selling DMV info?

Back from The Test, which was quick and easy, thankfully. We go there about twenty minutes early - but there was only one car ahead of us just finishing up. While we were pulling up to the window another car came behind us - I assume they were the appointment before us but they took us anyway.
-
Went to the mail place, so that's done.
-
Got a 40% off coupon so I've ordered from a new barbecue place for 2:00 delivery - a pulled pork sandwich.

I didn't realize you were driving over together. When will you get the results?
-
That is pretty disgraceful. I wonder if the Texas legislature will reconsider their policy.
-
I hope other states haven't done this and we simply don't know about it.

I don't know if any of you remember the story some time back about the little boy who said "Wow!" at an orchestral concert after the orchestra finished a rousing piece.
I don't know if I was aware of all the details at the time. but apparently the boy was autistic, and up to that point had been mute, so his spoken "wow" was a true milestone.
In any case, an acquaintance of mine in the Twin Cities metro, a poet, interviewed the boy's family, and some of the musicians involved, and wrote a children's book based on the incident, and he was just informed that the book has been picked up for publication by a division of Simon & Schuster!
I think that's pretty cool.
-
THREE! I think.
-
That truly is cool :)
-
Made a hot Reuben dip. Pretty darn good. And easy.
-
Finishing up the David Mamet movie, Edmond. Not a fan. And it’s not a comedy. It’s not helping.

Back from a good brisk walk. Didn't even need gloves!

If a magic genie were to suddenly appear and grant me wishes, my first would be that anyone throwing trash out of their car would find it magically whisked away before it hit the ground and piled up on their own doorstep.
-
End of rant.
-
Why doesn't HHW have [rant] and [/rant] buttons? :)
-
I am impressed by the scenic design for An American in Paris. Spare, elegant, and beautiful.
-
I really miss being near mom, especially at the holidays. We had a baking tradition. Over a concentrated two days, we made approximately 200 dozen cookies of about 6 or 7 types, plus chocolate bark and cranberry nut bread. When I moved away, she gave me a hand-made book with all the recipes.
Sad to say, I just haven't felt like making them without her.

Hello, everyone.

After two days of R&R I figured I'd better do some cleaning and laundry, so that's what I've been doing.

LA County is trying to make free Covid testing available throughout the county. A very good idea, IMO. I'm sure there are many people who are really worried that they have it. You shouldn't need to go through your doctor--particularly since so many of use are considered ineligible for a doctor's appointment. But why did it take us so long to get here? Possibly due to not enough test kits. Or other factors.

I can't take depressing family dramas anymore. I'm taking the unwatched ones back to the library today.
I know what you mean. I was reading Tana French's FAITHFUL PLACE a couple months ago. Talk about a dysfunctional family! Ms French is a very capable writer, but I could only take so much of it. I had to abandon it, something I don't often do, particularly with a good writer.

Very nice. I hope your friend receives benefits financially as well as from the gratification he receives. And perhaps he'll write other stories.

I think Elmore mentioned the movie of A STREET CAT NAMED BOB the other day. It's available from Netflix, DVD only.
-

The play's an urban nightmare. I never knew it had been filmed.
-

The movie is also on YouTube. I'm waiting on the sequel, which was released in London this month, A Christmas Gift from Bob.

I was hoping that the holidays would be a more subdued affair this year, given that so many people are out of work and so many have lost loved ones. Not so. Retail sales are strongly up over last year, but it seems to be concentrated in the big retailers. In-store sales, of course, are lagging, but online sales are way up.Target's online sales are up 155%! I hope that small businesses see some of that, too. I suspect that many families are using some of the money that didn't go to vacations, meals out, movies, etc to buy more Christmas presents. It's good for the economy, but I'd like to see it more widespread.
-
I'm probably the only one here who is interested in economics.

I believe there are ways to get free testing in Washington, others you can pay without a prescription. Rite Aid has sent me emails that I can get tested there. I don't know what the requirements are.
Bruce did you have to pay for your test?

They have to drive back in a car with someone with covid?!?! That is crazy.
Also how were they able to get tested before they went with no symptoms? Here you can only get tested if you have symptoms or if you were in contact with someone who tested positive.

Yes crazy. I was very nervous about them driving back and taking two days. I especially worried about their father getting sick while he was driving. I am relieved to know they returned last night. The father and younger sister seem fine. I am not sure why but they did a quick test on the sister today and it was negative.
The mother is at her home in quarantine, awaiting results of her test, and I am sure the others have to now quarantine in the father's home.
Just like Bruce tested today as a precaution you can get tested here if you don't have symptoms. It makes sense as so many people are asymptomatic. Of course this scenario is an indication of how imperfect this system is, still I guess it is better than not testing. Plus the father had the sense to retest with only cold symptoms. I am not sure he would have done that if he wasn't about to see his parents.

We are going to video chat with our friend tomorrow to connect beyond texting. It is weird to video chat with someone that live 20 minutes away.

Felt like watching the Jerome Robbins Opus: Jazz video - I wish the child directors hadn't imposted a "vision" on it and understood how to edit and shoot dance - Robbins, I think, would not have been happy - but the dancing is wonderful and the choreography amazing. In the extras, it has the entire last number as done by the original company for television and THAT is brilliant - nothing like seeing dancers do choreography that was created for THEM specifically. The new, modern dancers of today don't seem to have the personalities and this choreography just doesn't quite fit them like it did the originals.
-
Then I watched the Something to Dance About Robbins documentary - it's always a fun watch and I enjoyed it even though I watched it just a few months ago. Not sure I'll watch anything on the TV, but might play around on Amazon Prime or the Tube of You.
-
Oh, and the pulled pork sandwich was amazing, as was the mac-and-cheese, which was thankfully very small in portion, unlike the sandwich, which was HUGE.
-
I listened to what is considered as a classic Hansel and Gretel - von Karajan from around 1953 in mono - very well done and enjoyable, but, for me, the Eichhorn is my go-to now.
-
Had to "unfollow" Arnold M. Brockman - he's just delusional and crazy with the right-wing crap he posts from alt-right conspiracy theory sites. And if another of his things comes across my feed at any time, then I unfriend instantly.
-
Sigh :( I don't understand him and neither does his family.

We were watching an episode of the Britcom To The Manor Born (aired from 1979 to the early 80's), and I noticed in the end credits that the script supervisor was a Christopher Bond. I am wondering if that is the same Christopher Bond that wrote the play Sweeney Todd, later adapted by Hugh Wheeler and Stephen Sondheim. I can't find a mention of this credit anywhere on the Internet in connection with the Bond of Sweeney fame.
-
Speaking of Sondheim, I am wondering if Henrik Egerman (A Little Night Music) has ever been played by an actor who actually plays the cello and doesn't have to pantomime the part.
-
I just went to FB and saw the post that was the straw that broke the camel's back. For Bruce anyway. I am still following.
-

I think this was the case in the last revival, at least with the original actor.
-
Watching the DVD of Kiss Me, Kate with Rachel York and Brent somebody. I hadn't liked it the first time I watched it, but I'm loving it tonight. Singing along (something no one should have to put up with). I particularly like Michael Berresse in this. I still don't see the need to incorporate From This Moment on for the worthless character of the general.

Those gullible enough to buy QAnon and other lies of that ilk are only too willing buy more of the same bilge. They bought four years of falsehoods from the White House and are happy to continue by tarring others.

Listening to some interesting music that I could release. Hmmm.
-
Well, it's been a long day. I think I'm going to go read.
-
Good night, all.
-
Well, where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Tried to watch Woody Allen's Cafe Society but shut it off - looks great, but isn't great or even good.
-
Well, unfollowing dear Arnold didn't work so I had to unfriend - if he responds again, I block. He's out of his mind.
-
When I told Keith you had unfollowed the posts he asked how to do that. We couldn't find the option, not that I intended to do so. Maybe there isn't one anymore.
-
OK, I was just at FB and am guessing at what happened. He responded to your response so you could still see it, or you just hadn't really unfollowed him ;)
I read your long response.

I hope you enjoy SABOTEUR. Ir is my very favorite Hitchcock film.

I use to stay up all-night to watch it on the late late movie, every time it was on TV.
-
So, was this Anyone Can Whistle worth the wait?
I certainly do hope so. I haven't taken the time to listen to it, yet. ::)

I read that as you had a “banking” tradition. I thought it was a bit peculiar, but each family has their own traditions.

We were watching an episode of the Britcom To The Manor Born (aired from 1979 to the early 80's), and I noticed in the end credits that the script supervisor was a Christopher Bond. I am wondering if that is the same Christopher Bond that wrote the play Sweeney Todd, later adapted by Hugh Wheeler and Stephen Sondheim. I can't find a mention of this credit anywhere on the Internet in connection with the Bond of Sweeney fame.
No, I think that was his brother, James.

We are going to video chat with our friend tomorrow to connect beyond texting. It is weird to video chat with someone that live 20 minutes away.
At my work, we've had Zoom meetings with people in different areas of the same building!
So weird. I am curious, do you find it more convenient or would you rather go to a meeting room?

Had to "unfollow" Arnold M. Brockman - he's just delusional and crazy with the right-wing crap he posts from alt-right conspiracy theory sites. And if another of his things comes across my feed at any time, then I unfriend instantly.

Have fun with the political post ;D

I personally think it is good to see what others are thinking. These days though it can scare the heck out of me.

LA County is trying to make free Covid testing available throughout the county. A very good idea, IMO. I'm sure there are many people who are really worried that they have it. You shouldn't need to go through your doctor--particularly since so many of use are considered ineligible for a doctor's appointment. But why did it take us so long to get here? Possibly due to not enough test kits. Or other factors.
I believe there are ways to get free testing in Washington, others you can pay without a prescription. Rite Aid has sent me emails that I can get tested there. I don't know what the requirements are.
Bruce did you have to pay for your test?
No requirements, except making an appointment.
Where did you go for your test?

Rite Aid. I went thru the drive-thru window.

Pierce County‘s (where I live) CoVid positive testing has just exploded in the last several day. We had over 411 positive today, which doesn’t sound like many, but we aren’t a large county.

Back in September, I bought Bond's script for Sweeney Todd. I haven't read much of it yet, but even in the first few scenes, it's amazing to see what Sondheim took from Bond's script and turned into lyrics. Both Anthony's and Sweeney's first lines became lyrics in Sondheim's score.

Speaking of Sondheim, I am wondering if Henrik Egerman (A Little Night Music) has ever been played by an actor who actually plays the cello and doesn't have to pantomime the part.
I've always wondered that and thought it would be really cool...unless it was a professional production and union rules required that the cellist in the pit actually play the song. ::)

I just went to FB and saw the post that was the straw that broke the camel's back. For Bruce anyway. I am still following.
I guess I need to check this out. I mainly have only been looking at the notification, not actually reading through the threads.

Jane, if you click on the icon that says "friends" you get a pull down menu and from there you can unfollow or unfriend.

The entire script follows the play very closely.
