Does anyone know what was in that present that Michella Obama gave to Laura Bush?

I wonder if they put it on the helicopter?

When I need a soft meringue, I find it's generally best to flocculate with a whisk rather than a hand mixer!

Who would have thought Obama would be quoting Dorothy Fields' lyrics in his address?  Now all we need is Kern's music!

If "Happy Days Are Here Again" worked for Roosevelt, who knows?

I'm almost hesitant to admit that most of my hanging out was at Kings Plaza and at Kosher Country and (near my school) Jerusalem II pizza. 

Does that peg me as a Yeshivah boy?

Yesterday's TOD:

"From Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill"

Wonderful recording ought to be on CD!

We frequented the Dog N Suds, a root beer stand with fair food and great root beer.  It looked a lot like this....it was torn down in the 80's and now there is a little strip mall there with a CURVES and a SUBWAY sandwich shop.



We had one of those here that was replaced by an MG auto dealer.

Many people don't know that after the first draft of Peg, the Yeshivah Boy, they decided to change the character's name to Yentl.

DR JRand58, 'Dogs & Suds' sounds/looks like fun.    :D
Someone had to explain to me that it meant hot dogs and root beer, but it was cheap, and we could get stop there on the way to the park.

Aretha Franklin's hat seems to producing a lot of chatter.  I thought it was just a hat.

Sometimes these classic songs need a trained singer with some breath control; I love Aretha, but I swear she sang "My coun (breath) try 'tis of thee." I thought we were heading into blue territory for a minute and what the hell would the FCC think?

With a predicted high of 30 degrees, even some trained singers would have had breathing trouble.

Good Afternoon!

Well... I have no real need nor desire to watch them eat lunch, and the parade... well... Since there are no floats, is it really a parade?  ;)

There aren't any clowns, either.

Well, there aren't supposed to be.

The past three weeks have been somewhat of a blur. 

I feel a bit out-of-touch and have fallen way behind in everything.

Sigh.

I know what you mean Ron.  Vibes to you!

The discussion begins as to whether Pres. Obama meant to invoke the Dorothy Fields/Jerome Kern song when he pretty much  said "Pick Yourself Up, Dust Yourself Off"

http://www.shopfloor.org/2009/01/20/inauguration-09-invoking-astaire-and-rogers/

I think it was marvelously bipartisan of him, since Dorothy was a Republican.

I turned on Obama's remarks at lunch and he's pretty much confirmed that it was Ted Kennedy who collapsed at lunch.

I didn't like the administration but I wish him and his family well. I think the new administration has been very classy about everythng and the farewell was quite moving.

Ditto.

TOD:
Uncle Charlie's Pub - served pizza, hoagies, beer, but family oriented.  Ironically, that Uncle Charlie's was housed in the building which later became Sam Morgan's Clubhouse, where I worked for a decade, and is now Mulligan's where I put in service time on Saturday nights.

I should get going.

Even though it's my day off, I need to go to the store to discuss with manager a meeting I'm supposed to attend tomorrow, way off in Maryland.  It's a meeting for all the billing clerks in the region.

It's so cool, how nobody even mentioned to our manager that the meeting was tomorrow until yesterday.

The problem is, since I'm not a driver, we're still figuring out how I'm supposed to get there.

These little arrangements are so much fun.

(I'll be getting some goodies for din-din while I'm at the store, so at least the trip will serve two purposes.)
