I looked up Susan Slept Here on IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047550/reference?ref_=tt_mv_close), and saw that Debbie Reynolds was 22 years old when she made this movie. Dick Powell was 28 years older than Debbie Reynolds! :o

The age difference is the main plot point in the film. Debbie is supposed to be seventeen.
Here is an idea for a topic du jour.
What word do you find is suddenly being used in every conversation by every individual from students to old people like Jack? My nominee would be iconic!
Today I heard it three times on different TV shows and twice at the grocery store.
Systemic.
Wishing you good sleep, DR George.
DR elmore3003, thanks for your take(s) on Messiah. It is interesting how many of your choices coincide with those of David Hurwitz.
DR JohnG, thanks for the information on Dunbar. I'm curious to read it now. Is it as good as 1000 Acres, which I thought was a brilliant take on King Lear?
I was reading about this book yesterday, and I thought you might find it interesting.
Elmore, my comment was in jest. The woman on the right in the upper photo is holding a book, so I imagined it was Ginny prompting the cast.😜
Sasha’s new stepbrother is expected to arrive here tomorrow. I have threatened the little bitch bodily harm if she is mean to him.
Sunday.....tomorrow is Dentist Day......the Yanks are coming - as Our Gang said.....
I was negative
The live in boyfriend of a coworker tested positive so...
She herself tested negative
Quarantine looks good, Elmore. Thank you for the recommendation.
TCB, you hadn't mentioned Sasha in such a long time that I was figuring you had to return her because she nipped you. I'm so glad to hear she is still there -- and getting a new brother!

DR Elmore, I just wanted to say that your recording and video recommendations are always much appreciated.
Even if it's something I don't have a particular interest in, there's a whole world that you're knowledgeable about that I'm not, and I love hearing about it and getting to know some of what I didn't know before.
Between BK and DR Elmore, my horizons have very much broadened over these past 8 1/2 (wow, see what I did there?) years.
Then we went for a short walk on the river, followed by a walk around an antebellum mansion. I had gone there on my first grade field trip. The buildings weren’t open, but it was beautiful if cold outside.
Something is amiss at the website.....my WordPress skills still need some work.

What's the current Louisville temperature?

We did something called Lights Under Louisville, where you drive through a cave for about 20 minutes underground and look at Christmas lights in displays ranging from the religious to the trendy (Frozen, the Avengers, Justice League, Star Wars).
This'll put you in the holiday spirit. Make sure to watch at least to the bridge.

ChasSmith, your Lolita was delivered on 12//7 but apparently not to you - it went to Watervliet NY wherever that is - trying to get to the bottom of it, but she clearly was overwhelmed at having to ship over 400 of these puppies AND the other three. It looks like she sent the guy in Watervliet your and HIS package - he obviously didn't think it necessary to contact us about the error, but I'll be contacting him.
Since I love Messiah, I try to keep up on current recordings although I purchase few, and too many of the latest suffer from an overload of ornamentation and fast tempi. My three favorites are these:
Sir Colin Davis' recording from the mid-1960s was the first to shake up the traditional, rather plodding Victorian approach to Händel, and it's really fine with nice tempi and no overload of ornamentation.
Charles Mackerras' recording is from about the same time, and it offer some nice alternates, such as the 12/8 verion of "Rejoice Greatly," and maybe a bit more ornamentation. I have Mackerras' Oxford University Press edition of the vocal score for Händel's wonderful Semele.
John Butt's recording is less than ten years old, and I think it's the best of the current crop of ultra-baroque editions.

Back from picking up a package. And Merry Christmas and a perfect wrap up to 2020 - my car was broken into - no damage, and just like three years ago - pretty sure I locked it and I was up until four so when they did it is anyone's guess - they got all the change that I keep there, the iPod, and two tote bags that I'm pretty sure only had trash in them or scripts or whatever -nothing valuable there. They took everything out of the glove box but there was nothing of value there so I just had to clean up their mess. I hope karma pays them a very swift visit but I find that karma doesn't usually do that to the right people. They must have some way to get around the electronic locks - because what are the odds that IF for some reason I didn't lock it, they'd pick that exact night to do it? Thankfully, these asshats didn't go in the trunk and therefore missed the stuff they could have actually made money on - a wireless mic, two pieces of original art, and a box of CDs. Last time it happened, same thing - no trunk action.

For your holiday entertainment. A lot of sheep, a few herding dogs, and lights.

Good Afternoon. Church services went well, cold, but well. I went to the Target afterward to pick up some beer for the beer bread I'm making as Christmas gifts. Target didn't seem to have "normal" beer, just all the "light" varieties and a ton of IPA's. Only in the Bay Area will you find this situation. Seems as though "real" beer is beneath them - but light beer is fine. I'm done trying to figure people out
The boys are on the mend. I can't say much more about that because, like the beer, I'm done with that scenario as well. Also, I can't find my Apple watch. I think it's gone, I haven't a clue.
Anyway - Happy Sunday to all.

A friend told that quite a few years ago (probably in the 1980s), his car had been broken into and ALL of his vocal scores had been stolen! He was a musical director and vocal coach/teacher, so it was ALL the music that he used for his lessons. It was devastating and really affected his business. The perps were never caught. :P
Great links shared, DRs Jane and George.
I guess it could have been worse, but it's still dispiriting.
Since I'm on a Weill kick, I also happily found Lost in the Stars, Down in the Valley, and the Rise Steven Lady in the Dark.
Did I miss it? I didn't see a report on how dramatic DR Laura's dramatic reading was.

I did not read how the reading went. Was it live streamed?
We went for a drive along Fisher Road where, on the Sunday before Christmas each year, they line both sides of the street with luminaria for a stretch of about half a mile. It’s a spectacular site.
Quote of 2020:
"You're on mute."
Learned this past week that a friend of mine from Middletown, Greg Mahaney, a photographer at the paper died recently. We hadn’t been in touch for years, but it still hurts.
We went to Holiday Lights at the railroad park tonight. It was quite a hit.

Re the terrible news - I was so angry for most of the day and then I had to just let it go - no time to let pissant assbreaths ruin things and I wish them only unhappiness and horrible lives for what they do.
DR TCB, a new kitty? Did I miss an earlier announcement of your intentions? What can you tell us about him?

Looking at the cast list on the Facebook event listing, there's only one actor that I don't know. It's been fun identifying the voices I recognize...and if I don't recognize the voice, trying to figure out who it is because I know just about everyone. :)
So, Draco (soon to be Drake) arrived this afternoon, and so far, so good. The only problem is that they both look so much alike that I am having trouble telling them apart.

I seem to remember a spectacular stretch of luminarias the year I lived Middletown.
