For once, Jose is off the hook; since I can now blame it on the Bossa Nova.
Yes, the Bossa Nova has a very good hook.

TOD

I always loved Sergio Mendes and Brasill 66.  I had all of their albums 8-tracks cassettes CDs.  I guess I just never knew that it was Bossa Nova music.

WOD:

If someone were both fastuous and fatuous at the same time, wouldn't that be funny?

Oh no, wait, the theatre boards are full of such people.  It isn't funny at all.   :(

Good morning, all!  I am occupied this morning with laundry and thoughts on tomorrow's trip to the Library of Congress.  I have a few notes on BABES IN TOYLAND to revise, some things about LADY OF THE SLIPPER to write down, and I need to examine the catalogue for the Victor Herbert Collection at the Library trying to recollect if there's anything I need to look at again.  I'm principally going to DC to check several copyright dates, but I can do other bits of research as well.

My favorite bossa nova is Mary Rodgers' "The Boy From."

Dr Elmore, are you just going to DC for the day or will you stay over?

I love the train ride there from NY---it goes right through Perryville, MD, where I used to live.

the notes had that bossa nova beat, and now it is time for you to post until the cows from Ipanema come home.

Wouldn't that be a "Bossie-nova"?

Just for the day.  I know that once I get down there, I'll wish I'd stayed over for a second day.

DR Shapeshift, we've missed you and these weird pictures you find!

Glad you figured out the problem with your DD.

Ah yes, DR EDISAURUS....the pig story is very nice.

Of course we could all post some punch lines that make us giggle:

The bunny story made me think of something sort of similar that REALLY happened in our family. It doesn't have a funny ending, but.,..

When my brother was in first grade in Ohio, his class had a pet turtle, one of those dime store red-eared sliders. Every weekend, a student was allowed to take the turtle home and care for it.

When it was Brad's turn, he was very excited to bring it home. (We have both always loved turtles!)

Saturday morning the turtle was missing---it had vanished from its bowl. We looked everywhere and finally my father made the grisly discover of half a turtle. Our boxer dog, Dutchy, seemed to be responsible for the missing other half.

My father spent the rest of the day going to pet stores with the back half of a turtle, furtively trying to compare it to the ones for sale to try and find a new turtle that would match. He succeeded and my brother was sworn to secrecy. He returned with the new turtle and no one ever noticed the difference. It was one of the few times he has been able to keep a secret!

I have the day off--sort of---no new CLOSER episode to work on, so more packing and dusting and sneezing.

On tonight's CLOSER, we get to meet Brenda's daddy!

Brenda's daddy is played by Barry Corbin, best known as Maurice Minifield the retired astronaut, on NORTHERN EXPOSURE. He's great and the part is well written; a real Southern daddy!
