I hear 60 is the new 40...

[is there an echo in here?]

I think that's wishful thinking, stingpaw. "50" is the new "40". I heard it on TV today.

Not a sleigh goes by
Not a single sleigh
When you're trapped Christmas Eve
And you're wanting to leave
Not a sleigh goes by

There is a lemon pie in BK's assorted Godiva pie collection.

Not anymore.

We're mighty glad we came

Did I miss A Christmas tree grows in Brooklyn?

And while were at Vosges, we came across their newest Exotic Chocolate Bar:

Mo's Bacon Bar

41% cacao: Applewood smoked bacon + Alder wood smoked salt + deep milk chocolate

"I began experimenting with bacon + chocolate at the tender age of 6, while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in Aunt Jemima® syrup, as children often do. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid 3 strips of sizzlin' bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. And then, the magic—just a bite of the bacon was too salty and I yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate and syrup, so I combined the two. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point; for on that plate something magical happened, the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it—chocolate.

From there, it was just a matter of time…and what began as a love of salt and sweet quickly unraveled into an obsession. No sooner could I wait to unveil the royal coupling in solid bar form, a deep milk chocolate with bits and pieces of applewood smoked bacon and just a sprinkling of Alder salt. Really, what doesn't taste better with bacon?"
- Katrina

We were both intrigued, but decided that we give it a try later.

Today I had hoped to post the lyrics to a song sung by Rosemary Clooney, "The Dear Departed Past," but I can't seem to find them on line.

Here's what I got:

UpperCut » Artists R » Rosemary Clooney » Dear Departed Past

We're sorry but the artist has decided not to disclose the lyrics.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

I received a gorgeous calendar in the mail today.

Beautiful birds. Gorgeous birds. And the numbers on each month are bold and large enough to see from a nice distance.

There's Mr Pulliam. I was wondering where he was. Surely not busy at some silly company party when he could be here with us!

Well, DR JoseSPiano, I'd say that's pretty exotic!

No false advertising there.

Alas, the husband of the manager/owner was not there tonight. He's a playwright I've worked with a couple of times. And he usually gives me a nice discount.
