As a kid, I remember seeing a "classical" concert with Danny Kaye leading the orchestra.  I had never laughed so hard!

der Brucer, I know it's a long-standing rule.  I'm just saying they need to change it.  Why not have Waiver theater in Orange County or Chino?  

Hell, why not have Waiver theatre USA! Equity is still living in the Dark Ages - you can provide reasonable workers' protections and still allow the marketplace to work out the details. The Equity rules were established when Pasadena was a summer retreat from LA - Riverside was a major days trek; they need to be reenvisioned to support the multi-county megapolis which is the Twenty First Century Southern California, which should extend from Santa Barbara to San Diego and east to Riverside/Palm Springs.

My BK ?

At what point did the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" become a Christmas song? The film it was in Neptune's Daughter I believe had nothing to do with Christmas. (Going by the plot synopsis)

Good morning, all!  This morning I have a trip to City Center to see my friend Josh, who's the man behind the music at Encores! After that, Toyland for a spell, and after that, our DR Jose.  I've been craving pasta in all forms and sauces, so I believe we shall partake of some cuisine Italian tonight.

Beyond that, I have little to report: several gifts to wrap and a conscientious effort to wrap up the holiday angst.  I did have a wnderful discussion with my attorney yesterday about my new will so I have a few loose ends to take care of before signing off on the new one.

So, to work.

DR Tomovoz - thanks for reporting on the Jackson/Hobbit situation.  I had not seen that in the news.

I must have missed this - could someone repost it or tell me when it was posted?  DH Richard and DS Rob are great LoTR fans and I'd like to share the news with them, whatever it is...

DR MichaelShayne, at about the same time other winter songs became "seasonal," like "Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" "Winter Wonderland," "It's a Marshmallow World" and others. None of them have a thing to do with Christmas but a lot to do with Winter Weather. Did you not notice "Baby It's Cold Outside" was part of a recording industry marketing trend?

and was a flaming queen with a live-in lover and maintained homophobic "hate" files on political figures around the nation.

There is an urban legend that an FBI agent came to Hoover's house to report on something and J. Edgar came to the door "in drag."

Hoover was a very sick, sick man.

I had dinner at my Aunt Doris' and Uncle Rock's house last night.

Rock grilled some steaks, baked some potatoes, tossed some salad and produced some bleu cheese dressing.

It was all very delish!

He then held court and regaled us with two hours of non-stop history on the misadventures of his children and how they did not listen to his warnings about their spouses (first spouses) and all the ensuing drama of their separations and divorces.

It was riveting....and the rivets left my brain riddled with holes and pain.

But I survived....

Yesterday, my mom and I walked to the Post Office, and then onto the main street to look in some stores.  We then walked the length of the street, crossed the railroad tracks and returned home via some streets I had never walked before.

It was a good walk.

Upon returning to her yard, we began picking up pine cones and stray limbs that had fallen upon the lawn after the rains on Saturday.

It's a hobbit-like life one could have here.

I am enjoying my new "duds."

My shirts fit beautifully.  The trousers are the best-fitting I've had in some time (for casual clothes, that is), but the problem is that I'm at an "odd" size, rather than the "even" sizes sold in stores.  I don't want to get things tailored, so I have to go "up a size" since "down a size" won't fit.  After about an hour, the "up a size" seems much larger than "down a size" might have been.  But that's life.

I shall have to get to an exact "even" size and stay there, I reckon.  Or get used to tightening my belts.

Do you know what else is "life"?

Bowel movements.

They are very, very important.

Never underestimate the importance of a good "BM" no matter when it may occur.

I went into a rather interesting store yesterday.

The owners sell antiques they've either found elsewhere or are selling "on consignment."  Of course, "antiques' is not exactly the appellation for everything in the store.

That said, I found a rather interesting rocking chair -- oak -- that was a bit lower (to the floor) than most rockers and was also a bit wider.  I sat in it and fell in love with it.  It might have been designed for outside use, but it's quality wood through-and-through.

Originally priced at $350, it was marked down to "$250 or best offer."  I considered offering $200 for it, but my mom urged me not to.   I thought I might have UPS ship it to me in Oakland.

I'm still thinking about it.
