Lighting the charcoal for this morning's Cowboy Breakfast. Tens of thousands of people. Free food. Country music. And zillions of gallons of coffee.

Cool photo!!

I am currently wearing a scarf to keep my neck warm!

Make sure you cover you mouth and nose when you go outside to keep the cold out of your lungs.

Mark Salzman will be speaking in town as part of the Chautauqua poets & writers series. I'm trying to motivate myself to go out at night by myself. If it were summer I wouldn't hesitate but I don't like driving Keith's car which I will have to do if the weather turns icy.

I just read something interesting, "The Social Network” was directed by Ashland High School graduate David Fincher.

DR FJL you are correct.

I bet you didn't have any oatmeal at The Cowboy Breakfast.

No, but there were biscuits. I'm actually surprised at the no oatmeal. McDonald's donates all the coffee and it just launched its oatmeal line. It would have been the perfect place to get people to try it.

George, how is the "Just So" recording? I enjoyed those stories when I was younger.

That's exactly the pun intended by the publisher New Directions when it was founded.

Stiles and Drewe were working on "Just So" with Chris Jahnke in 1998 at Goodspeed. It is not the same musical version of "Just So" that I saw with Jason Graae and Andre deShields around 15 years ago. John Simn was so right when he titled his review "Just So is Just Awful."

I love "Virtue in Danger!" It's nearly as good as the Restoration comedy it's based on, "The Relapse" by Vanbrugh. There are two really good songs, "Why Do I Feel" and Patricia Routledge's "Wait A Little Longer, Lover."

Well...since I don't know the stage show, I like the recording. The score is written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, who also wrote Honk! and additional songs for the stage version of Mary Poppins.

Back from a sandwich and fries. I must say this lyric redo has got me stumped. I've at least organized the possibilities and will keep hammering away at it - maybe I should just send it to FJL.

I just had a fantastic phone conversation with my college friend Rebecca, whom I've not seen in about 14 years. It's even more criminal in that we live only 40 blocks apart. Rebecca's husband Danny Stone is one of my favorite actors and their daughter is now working on the tv series BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

The E. F. Benson Mapp and Lucia series is available at Gutenberg! I've seen the television series (from years ago) but I never read the books. Now I can get them for my Sony. Before I add the Benson books I have already put 160 books on the device. It's quite wonderful to have all these books at my disposal.

Is your breakfast partner a cowboy or the breakfast?

I don't know the show, either. I just know the Kipling stories.

I am morbidly fascinated by this picture of the board whose meeting began with a motion to call 9-1-1 for me. Deb, in the left foreground, followed the ambulance to the hospital and stayed in the ER with me until Richard arrived. The next person to the left is Genevieve, who now occupies the position from which I retired 2 years ago. I was probably feeling unwell when this photo was taken:

By comparison, here I am with Judy, the other retiring board member, at the same table 4 months later - a much healthier-looking person!

The gifts Judy and I were opening contained amaryllis bulbs and here's mine, all grown up:
