Good night.

First post of the morning!

Now that I've done my work, I should go back to bed.

But before I go...

In the pet peeve phrase dept., (although I wasn't peeved) I used to work with someone who often used the phrase: "and yet but still" very quickly as though it was one word. Of course, we adopted it at our house, along with words like "chimbley' (chimney)  and then sometimes forget that they aren't real words/expressions and use them in front of strangers. A little embarassing...

DR DRUXY - I have seen all of those movies you mention - though some NOT in a long time.  SHE'S WORKING HER WAY THROUGH COLLEGE has a great pedigree from the original material.....but I like SHE'S BACK ON BROADWAY a lot better, Miss Mayo has a stronger leading man in Steve Cochran than Ronald Reagan....although Gene Nelson's dancing in both films helps a lot.

DR Jane, re: the pairs skating.

That is interesting that you and the NBC commentators thought team #2 made small mistakes. The CTV ones said they were perfect, but noticed that #1 missed their lift.

It is also interesting reading DRs MattH and RonP's comments about NBC. So for the west coast are they showing the exact same 8-midnight timeblock just delaying it?

I felt some frustrations last night. CTV was replaying stuff. TSN was showing curling (2 non-canada teams) and Rogers Sportsnet was showing hockey. And i really wanted to watch speed skating. The weird part is that it is one of canada's strongest sports. So i could not figure out why they were not showing it.

But apparently they can't switch out if they are in the middle of a game. Anyhow after one of the games ended they went back and quickly showed the prelim rounds and then showed the rest live. So it wasn't too bad.

I don't know if it's just me. But i can't stand when they show games that are 3 hours long.  I know hockey and curling are popular here.

Thursday morning greetings!  We're having a relaxing morning in Lima before our drive back down south.  Didn't get up in time to get downstairs for the complimentary breakfast, so we'll go out for a nice brunch on our way out of town.

I was thinking of getting SHE'S BACK ON BROADWAY, but the reviews I read weren't that good.  Maybe next time.

Of course, that is NOT Miss Mayo's singing voice in the SHE'S BACK series.

Good morning!

COld again but also beautiful again. I probably should have worn a ski cap on my walk this morning, but the sun was coming up, and the windy conditions were only around for the first half of the walk (I did have the presence of mind to wear a heavy jacket).
