DR ozderek, I'm in Middletown, Ohio, which is about 30 miles north of Cincinnati. It's 7:30 Friday evening, cold, with a "winter weather advisory" for tomorrow.

I'd do a Page 12 dance, but I'd probably falafel off the stage.

Evening all!

What a day! First, I got to drive Bonnie to work. I played my first CD and it was a wonder to ride so smooth and hear my favorite music at the same time.

I discovered that the blind in the back still does not fit so I called the place I got Bonnie from and wasn’t to very surprised when the guy wasn’t as nice as he had been when I bought her. He said, “Well, it IS a USED vehicle.” Well, duh, but the issue was brought up BEFORE I bought it and I was TOLD it would be taken care of. It was not.

It’s not that big of an issue to me but since Bonnie was supposed to come with the thing, I want it. Blame me? I looked the item up on the Ford site and it costs about hundred and fifty dollars.

He rather ungraciously said I should bring the SUV by tomorrow morning and he would “see what he could do for me.” I will be there.

We’re doing an orientation on Tuesday. Despite my telling people that if they wanted anything added or taken from the PowerPoint Presentation I put together, people chose to ignore my request. Until today. I had to work like a mad woman to make all the changes.

When I woefully exclaimed that no one listens to me and no one loves me anymore, Martin (the guy who sits on the other side of my cubical) hollered over, “I love you, Danise!” followed by dead silence in our area and a quick “In a platonic, brotherly way.” I just about died laughing.

Martin just got married a couple of months ago. I told him I was going to tell his wife that it was all a mistake and it was me, me, ME he loved!

Alas, JRand, I did not bid on the Music Box. As I said, I have the most important part. I’ve often thought of taking it to a music box place and getting it put in one of those little round plastic protector cases. I have Masquerade from POTO and cherish it. I didn’t want Music of the Night because that is NOT what Erik had.

DR TD, I was so very sorry to read of your loss. It is never easy and words can not make it better but know you are in my thoughts and I wish you the comfort of the knowledge that you did the right thing.

DR Jose, I know how you feel about getting those weird thoughts. Oddly enough, I’m having a few dark thoughts myself. Not because of anything being wrong but because of everything going so right. The promotion at work, the SUV, the up coming trip to NYC—it’s like everything is going too well. I keep thinking something really bad is going to happen. I know, I know that's dumb but I can't help it.

Funny how you wait like it seems forever for things to start going your way and then, when it does, you can’t enjoy it because your waiting for the bottom to drop out.

Well, enough of that. Tomorrow I am going to see about that blind and then I’m off to see David Copperfield for an afternoon of magic!

DR Ann, so what kind of staple remover did they use?

I think I wrote a post and didn't post it. I don't know what happened.

What would I do with the laserdisc? Serve a pizza on it?

Helen Traubel can't sing and she isn't very pretty either. Boy she opens her mouth up wide....she could give Martha Raye AND Joe E. Brown a race for their money.

Only when you're using the label-that-mustn't-be-named's cds as coasters. . .

TOD:

DVD: "Designing Woman." "It," "The Best Years of Our Lives." "Elaine Stritch: At Liberty"

VCR: "Follies In Concert"

CD: "Avenue Q" (OBC) "Thoroughly Modern Millie" (OBC)

I have not read the posts yet but will go back. To catch up from the rest of the week:

Character actors: James Coco, George Rose, Jason Robards (later in his career), Mercedes McCambiridge. Joe Kearns

Guy Haines songs: Since Guy already recorded one of my favorites, "That's All," I'll concur with DRLaura and suggest "Too Marvelous For Words." It's another favorite. Guy could do it croony, swingy (but not verging on "businessman's beat") or even Latin a la Lee.

Helen was a great Wagnerian soprano a bit past her prime by then! Have you ever heard Charlotte Rae's "Spring Doth Let Her Colours Fly," a parody of Helen Traubel's Vegas act, on the recording of THE LITTLEST REVUE?

Which one's the beard?

Isn't the beard normally the one who gets the closest shave?

Rain may have come and gone, but there's the most exquisite sunset spilling into the canyon, shimmering across a thousand different shades of green.

Well then, which one's the beard? My gay British friend Heidi married a gay gentleman for a green card.

If Guy should record "Laura," you must have him do the verse. It's mighty fine. Same goes for "Too Marvelous For Words." People so often drop verses, unfortunately.
The verses to "When Day Is Done" and "More Than You Know" are exquisite.

Ah Jack, I haven't listened to the soundtrack to "Valley of the Dolls" in some time. I must now. It was always a favorite. If it hadn't been for the soundtracks to "VOD' and "Wizard of Oz" any album by Fred Astaire or Petula Clark album, "Judy at Carnegie Hall" and a few others, I might never have made it through adolescence.

Beautiful sunset over here in the City of Studio as well. And no rain as of yet. If we can just keep that situation, I'll be dining in ninety count them ninety minutes. Until then: LIMBO!

No but just the idea of it has me rolling on the floor.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #349 on:** January 28, 2005, 05:27:12 PM »

I hear that, DRKERRY. And remember you are hearing Dory Previn for Dionne Warwick, Gail Heideman for Patty Duke, and Eileen Wilson for Margaret Whiting for Susan Hayward! But it IS Tony Scotti!

I know what you mean. Sometimes I will be thinking how great everything is and WHAM, and I mean within seconds of having such happy thoughts.

DR Jane - There's a great article about Mary Doria Russell and her new book, A Thread of Grace, in the Jan. 3 issue of Publishers Weekly. If you'd like a copy, send me your address and I'll mail it to you.

Ozderek, I’m in the charming town of Ashland, Oregon-located just above the California border, nestled between two mountain ranges.

Ron I like the beard.
