Well, you've read the notes, the notes were impressionistically impressionistic, and now it is time for you to post until the impressionistic cows come home.

At the Goodwill Store today I looked at the LPs.  Mostly Lawrence Welk and Big Band and Polka music....

There were two LPs on the Vocalian STEREOPHONIC Label - one called Here's Eydie and another called Here's Steve - so you can imagine who recorded them.  I liked the covers....but I ultimately passed on these two bargains.

It would have been quite a coincidence if the cast album for Broadway's likely Tony winner (expected to win for Best Play) STEREOPHONIC had also been on the STEREOPHONIC label.

DR George, I know you're probably not in the market for a new house at the moment, but perhaps this gambit might persuade you?

"Martin Estrada, Realty Sherpa" could be the name of a hit TV series.

I had five - FIVE - vials of blood drawn and left some urine in a cup - by request.

All of my results seem good except my glucose which for some reason in VERY HIGH.  I fasted.....hmmmm....I did have a cough drop, but I can't imagine that causing so much chaos.

They are basically sugar.

Ricola has some sugar-free drops that are pretty good. :)

I can not tolerate the sugar-free ones  :P

I ushered tonight for the 249th birthday of the Army. It was a last-minute gig. Afterwards, they were showing the original Hairspray on the Plaza. The movie wasn’t supposed to start until 9, but by the time I got out there, there was only 30 minutes left. Gleefully perverse. Perfect cast. Divine, Ricki Lake, Debbie Harry, Ruth Brown, Pia Zadora. So good.

If someone has invited you to a wedding that requires you to drive for more than an hour, but doesn't think enough of you to invite you to the reception, is it truly mandatory that you go?  And since you're not invited to the reception, wouldn't that make it all right to ignore giving a wedding gift?

If I don't want to go to something my conscience makes me believe I should, rationalizing the situation as I did above would guarantee my absenteeism.

"Oh!  We so want you to see us get married, and we know it's a 'drive' for you, but we won't detain you with the reception because we are doing a small one with selected friends/relatives.  You understand, I'm sure!"

No...no  punch, no cake, no mingling?  NO GOING.
