On Tuesday this week, I thought it was Thursday. On Wednesday this week, I thought it was Thursday. Now it's Thursday and it really doesn't feel like it.

...I don't know that she agreed or disagreed, but in the review he goes out of his way to mention that the CD is tracked the way it is and that that is a good thing.

Back when I was reviewing discs at Sondheim.com (ages ago, really), what ticked me off on live performance discs was the inclusion of an unseemly amount of applause. I actually timed the amount of applause included on a disc by Betty Buckley, and listed how long it lasted in the review, track by track. The second disc I reviewed at the same time, Bernadette Peters' Sondheim, Etc., was particularly good at keeping this egotism in check.

But I agree, being able to jump to the start of a song is a good thing. (A Martha reference, even though none is needed.)

That's because it is Friday afternoon.

Sadly, he probably represents the majority of his voting constituents.

This whole "taking the oath on the Koran" bit really annoys me. If someone is to take an oath, I want him to take it on "his book", not "my book". The same logic should apply to seasons greetings: I should wish you a "Happy (your day)", not a Happy (my day)". To knowlingly wish a Jew "Merry Christmas" is not just insensitive, it's silly!

This goes even further, as when I really didn't know what the heck I should wish a customer today. She was wearing her head in a scarf, which suggested Muslem, but I couldn't be sure. I mean, she didn't have her face veiled. In any case, I'm not sure there is an Islam holiday during this season. So I wished her a "pleasant holiday season" instead, since so many holidays are crammed in at this time.

But I'm not sure what message that sent.

I am so glad I am not at the airport in Denver. Although you could ride the train back and forth between the terminals....

Last October, on my return trip home from NY, I spent a "fun" day at the Denver airport thanks to a surprise storm. I was very, very, very grateful to sleep in my own bed that evening.

DR Elmore - you recently saw DR Jose...how is he and is he ever coming back??

Yes, dear, he will be back. I doubt it will be before Jan 2, after the Arena Stage gig ends and he's back in New York. I can't speak for him, but he knows he is missed and we look forward to his return.

I sincerely doubt it. He's been an ass since July, and I don't think the Macbeths are finished yet.

If you talk to him, tell him hello and happy holidays for me.

I have no idea how Penny can say I look good,

I seem to be continuously tired and sleepy & can barely see straight. My sciatica acted up which of course threw everything else out of whack making it difficult to sleep. Yesterday was my first good day in awhile & last night I slept well until around 4:45AM.

That is when Sherlock decided to snuggle on top of me in the wee hours of the morning, body on my stomach with his head on my chest. After almost an hour I was able to get him off when he sat up thanks to a case of hiccups. Keith of course slept through my pleas of help.

The next hour I had just enough room to sleep on one side, the left giving me covers, the right side more comfortable but chilly.

Penny’s right, we do adore Sherlock and while I can’t keep my eyes open & have been struggling health wise, Keith is very happy (I am too). While I was gone it was good to hear the joy in his voice over the phone. During my last couple of yearly trips he was very sad.

I never saw this side - poor concern for our father, pettiness, stinginess, hostility - coming from him at all when we were growing up. I guess sibling rivalries go deeper than I could imagine.

And now I toddle off to bed. I slept poorly last night, I was in a bad mood most of the day, and, dammit, tomorrow will be better!

Sorry to hear that. Family issues always seem to cut so deep. Hope things get better.

DR Sandra's children were precious. They all behaved very well.

Here I am to tell you all that DS Rob and I survived an afternoon in the Dayton Mall area. We actually had a lot of fun being out in the holiday hustle and bustle and finished up the last of our shopping. Our main mission was to visit the Verizon store for the equipment upgrades to which we were both entitled. We have new cell phones that are much cooler than the ones we replaced

No change in my phone number, by the way, for those who've had it programmed into their phones (and you know who you are...)

While we were away a lovely surprise package arrived from DR Elmore - thank you

We went to the annual Troop 810 potluck Christmas dinner tonight. This is the Scout troop in which DS Rob advanced to Eagle and DH Richard served as assistant scoutmaster for many years. That's why I was making Jello Jigglers at 7am today.

I finished up hte last of mine also. I had a few gift certificates for pick up and one gift to buy for my dad.

Because BK had just recorded it for another album - a Sherlock Holmes collection, sung by Miss Judy Kaye. I didn't feel like doing it again, frankly.

Or, you never do anything twice.
