I slept rather well. I did have a dream that I was working on the Houstopn Grand Opera's "opera house" version of Babes in Toyland, only none of the personnel I worked with in 1990-1991, when the production actually happened, appeared in the dream except for the wonderful Eduardo  Sicangco, who was both a fantastic designer and a wonderful human being. I also worked with him at Goodspeed, and only recently I learned of his death. RIP, Eduardo.

This is kind of a ME day, but the predicted 1-to-3 inches tonight puts a cloud over it.

I'll have to get up at dawn's crack to start pushing that snowblower so that we can all get out of here in the morning to do our various things.

So many of these impact Monday mornings, you'd almost think it's by design.

Thanks, friend. I was the same. Almost every time I caught a cold it led to ear problems. Hasn’t happened in the last couple decades though. One thing is it’s hard to get a kid to stop sniffling, which adds pressure in there.

From Variety:

It’s been a glacially slow market at Sundance, with only two other films landing a sale so far. Seven days into the festival, Neon nabbed “Together,” a body-horror thriller starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, for somewhere between $10 million and $15 million. And Netflix nabbed the Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones drama “Train Dreams” a day later. Several talked-about titles, like Dylan O’Brien’s dark comedy “Twinless,” Jennifer Lopez’s Technicolor “Kiss of the Spider Woman” musical adaptation, and the Marlee Matlin documentary “Not Alone Anymore,” remain without buyers.

I suspect we’ll soon find out about all sorts of Canadian imports that we weren’t aware of. Expect the price of avocados to rise, as most are from Mexico.

I forgot about that.  There are avacados from Florida.  We tried them years ago and now avoid them.

Jane, I'm listening to an interesting food memoir called How to Share an Egg, by Bonny Reichert. A chef-writer is trying to find her way in the world and in her family. Her father is a concentration camp survivor. They have a strong relationship that is great at times, tested at others.

Why does no one talk about Dr. Joyce Brothers anymore?

I talk about Dr. Joyce Brothers all the time. It's my most frequently told story about trying to book speakers for my law school's speaker series (called the law school Forum).  :)


There's a 10-minute version of the story and a one-minute version.  Here's the one-minute version:

This was 1981, way before cell phones. It was during the summer, so I was with my folks in Brooklyn for the summer.   Dr. Joyce Brothers had called me to try to set up a date and possible logistics for her to speak to the law students forum, and it was to be included in a TV news show feature on her.  I was in Manhattan seeing a show.  My dad started calling my friends' numbers  to find out if they knew where I was, saying something like "Dr. Joyce Brothers is trying to reach Freddie and it sounds like it's important." 

So my friend Keith the day after all this said in total wonder:  "Who the f--- are you that Dr. Joyce Brothers needed to reach you at home?"
