My one year supply of Duke's mayonanaise was delivered today.

I haven't opened it yet.

Does anyone want me to reproduce the recipe off the back of the container for Chocolate Peanut Oatmeal Jumbles?

Well, once you open that first jar, you may find you have less than one year's supply.  ;)


*And those Chocolate Peanut Oatmeal Jumbles are YUMMY!

I know I am hopelessly behind the times, but I just last night started watching HAIRSPRAY.  I would say that had it not had the stunt-casting of Travolta, it would be an out and out classic.  The musical sequences are staged exceedingly well, IMHO, probably some of the best musical stagings I've seen in musicals (not that there have been that many to choose from) over the past decade.

OH, I hope they cast either Tom Wopat or Brian D'arcy James. If they do I will surely go to see it!

I'll be seeing Brian D'Arcy James on Thursday, August 14, 2008 in SHREK: The Musical!!  Are you going?

Invite a friend to watch it with you. I can't watch horror films alone and I love them.

I know, poor Elmore got scared of ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE.

It's at the same theater where I saw him in Follies in 1995 with Judy Kaye, Walter Charles, Constance Towers and Maxine Andrews...among many others. :D

Not anytime soon.  This is the world premiere pre-Broadway run.  As soon as it's done here, it's heading to NYC!  And I'm seeing it the VERY FIRST NIGHT!!

I wonder what will be cut after that first performance?? ;)

Had a very long and pleasant lunch meeting.  I must say, they In and Out people left the onions of my cheeseburger (yes, I asked for them) and the burgers are just a big load of nothing without the onion.  I also had animal fries.

I gotta tell you.  The air conditioning breaker keeps tripping - I've called the Handy Man because someone has to figure out the problem.  When the AC guy came back last week he went through a whole cock and bull story about we had it set too low, how the unit has this mercury bubble that has to stay constant, so he set the machine the way he said it would never have a problem.  And I've changed nothing since, but today the breaker has tripped six times already - not so good in 106 degree heat.

Well, it's currently 67 degrees here in NYC.  -A little rainy right now, but still just 67 degrees.  :)
