Good morning, all! I have a big meeting at 2 pm about this Appalachian Christmas piece, and getting what I have in order will take most of my morning. I'd like to be out of here by noon, so if I have any recopying or rewriting I can do it at Toyland before the meeting.

DR George, I wsh you'd posted more photos from the show.

DR Jose, your post about the events of the day, which I would guess pertain to the City's reaction to binLaden's death, sounds portentous. I was surprised to find the news channel I watch had at both 6 and 11 pm "special editions" which I found rather ridiculous. OK. He's dead. I'm happy to hear it. There will be repercussion of some sort. It could be ugly. Is this unexpected news?

I have no more news for now.

If my cable box doesn't like what I'm watching, it shuts itself off.  I guess it's time to call Comcast.

As for the "obvious" snubs:

No nomination for Aaron Tveit nor Daniel Radcliffe as Leading Actor in a Musical.

No nom for Born Yesterday in the Best Revival of a Play.

Priscilla not nominated for Best Musical. -Although, I really do question some of the People - capitalization on purpose - who thought that it would and should get one.

Oh... And...

Wonderland got shut out.

Good news for some, bad news for others.

I am sure somewhere Ashley Simpson is searching the nominations list to see if she has been nominated for anything.

Tuesday morning greetings!  Well, (almost) Paramedic Rob was right when he said the Claritin-D that the nurse practitioner prescribed would make for a sleepless night.  Not sleepless, exactly, but restless with frequent wake-ups.  Pretty soon I have to get myself ready to go to Dayton for this month's grantwriters' meeting.

In all fairness, I should also say that the Claritin-D is helping immensely!

I am confused (nothing new).  On Sunday night, several news organizations said bin Laden had been killed LAST week and it was just now being reported.  They spoke about Obama's "poker face" through all his public events.  Now the news is saying bin Laden was killed Sunday night our time.  What gives?

Thanks, DR Jose! I just read it. The film that inspired SWEENEY is Hangover Square; the reviewer got it wrong.

I believe the whole "last week" confusion resulted from some reporters trying to figure out the time difference between the US and Pakistan, as well as some news agencies trying to get the jump on the other news agencies. -Some people thought it happened on Saturday night/early Sunday morning in Pakistan, thus the whole "last week" time frame.

Additionally, all the big meetings were held last week which was when President Obama was dealing with the whole birth certificate craziness as well as the White House Correspondents Dinner.
