I had a weird thing happen whilst out.  I got in my car, stepped on the brake and started it - and it would not start - totally nothing happening.  I jiggled the handle of the shift thing and that seemed to do it and it started.  I just called service and they thought it might have been that a button on the remote in my pocket might have gotten pushed accidentally, which would have caused it.

Then I totally zoned that I had a work session today with Linda Purl and Greg Harrison.  Luckily I got here just as they did.  It was fun.

I am back from cardiac rehab, a drop-off at Goodwill, and some grocery shopping.  Heigh-ho, the glamorous life!

BK, if your car is not "fully" in Park, it will not start.

We used to have similar problems with our Subaru--just pushing the gear shift up fully into Park always solved the problem.

John G - not exactly a Christmas-y play, really.
Exactly. There was one Christmas I remember when I got the flu and miserable and alone. The only video I had was Kurosawa's film version of "The Lower Depths." I can tell you that was a happy Christmas.

About to pull the trigger on a number of Amazon purchases--all Christmas CDs:

Destination… Christmas! -- The Superions (featuring Fred Schneider of the B-52s)

Christmas With the Puppini Sisters

Joy to The World -- Pink Martini

Holly Happy Days -- The Indigo Girls

A Christmas Cornucopia -- Annie Lennox

It's Beginning To Sound A Lot Like Christmas -- Various (and I do mean VARIOUS) artists
Let me know how the Annie Lennox is. That one definitely interests me this year.

DEAD OF WINTER arrived yesterday.

My copy arrived yesterday, also!  That's what I'll be listening to today. :)

After that will be my CD-R made from The Manhattan Transfer's Christmas DVD.  It has great sound and wonderful songs!
Manhanttan T's Christmas album is a perennial favorite.  Will have to add that to the weekend's play list.

had lunch with a business acquaintance I hadn't seen in a few years. It was great to catch up with her and the food was quite good. I had a lamb burger with a salad. Dessert was shared slices of Lime Chess Pie and Buttermilk Pie. The lime chess was wonderful.

XM has been playing a bunch of Glenn Miller Christmas tunes.  Some had Tex Beneke, but I wonder if these were post-WWII recordings, as they sounded awfully good.  I looked up stuff on eBay and don't see anything I've heard yet.  Weird.

It's a little daunting jumping back into club work after a year or more off.  I have forgotten a LOT of tunes, as I've discovered today.  :)  Trying to get everything from Chick Corea to Vernon Duke under the old fingers again.

Last night, I went to a local production of "How I Learned to Drive" by Paula Vogel.  I'd only heard of the play but didn't know what it was about....now I do. :o

It was very well done...quite powerful.  The lead woman was played by Heather, who played Joyce in TAO's The Brain From Planet X.  I only knew one other person in the cast (of five), but I knew most everyone in the audience (of fifteen).

George, Tim Hoban played the uncle.  I have known Tim for about 20 years and I have done several shows with him.  He is a good friend and a fine actor.

Poor little Spats. He'll be feeling better soon. Funny thing -- he never purred for us before. Now he's purring up a storm.

He was very good...and appropriately creepy. ;)

Here are some pictures that I was just sent...and have never seen before.

The actor is Thom Koutsoukos (aka: Thom Keane).  He starred in the first production of my 1-person play, JOLSON, which was done in Encino in the mid-1980s.  Thom, who worked (standby) in the original production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (w/Zero Mostel) is currently living in Florida.

I wish I had these a year ago.  I would have used one in my book.

TOD:

DVD: Leon the Professional, White Christmas

Car CD: Disc 4 of Patti Lupone reading "Patti Lupone" (of seven).


I would have slit my wrists on Disc 1.

I'm listening to "Dead of Winter" and am enjoying it very much.  So much that I just ordered the DVD for only 79˘!  (Plus $2.99 shipping. ;))

From her mush-mouth? I find it funny that her profs tried to strangle her more than once to get her to enunciate her words properly.

I like Patti. I saw "Anything Goes" on an Easter Sunday, and it was one of those rare performances where the audience stopped her time and and again at the end of numbers for encores. It was sheer, gossamer fun. That's sort of why I'm nervous about the upcoming revival.

Which TMT Christmas CD?  Their first one:



or their second, acapella [sic] CD?



You can click on the pictures! :D

Well, when you find them, I would like to buy a copy.  I have a friend on the East Coast who is very interested in reading it.

I got my haircut this week.....that process probably takes longer for that to be done for you DR BEN.

Ha, ha. It's taking less and less time. It looks like I have a full head of hair but it's getting mighty thin up on top. It takes Yuri about 15 minutes to cut my hair. I'm thinking that in the spring I should just bite the bullet and get it cut very short. I don't want the shaved head look but I think shorter would be better.
 

You already wear your short, IMHO.

Well, I found out why Spats hasn't been adopted. Just as I feared, he got sick. So I am going to bring him home to nurse him back to health.

Awww, poor baby.  Will you please post a photo of him again?
