It's also another Spring-like Winter Day here in New York City. The current temp: 52.

It was pretty darned cold this morning...frost was everywhere.  I didn't have any trouble getting into my car, but my emergency brake was frozen! So, I had to drive to work with a slight drag on the speed.

It'll be defrosted and disengaged by lunch time, later this afternoon.

Drive carefully!!!!!!

I did...very carefully.  Fortunately, it's not a long drive, so I could be very careful.

The Monarch Scientist is going to bring me some caterpillars today. She has too many and trusts me to raise some.

That makes you a butterfly farmer.  What a cool thing to be

[Cillaliz]

Last night we watched MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.  While we enjoyed it we don't see it as a best picture.

I really liked that movie.  Paul and I were discussing it over lunch today.   We're going to see THE ARTIST at 4:20

Wonderful story on the New York Times website about Mary Tyler Moore, who is getting a lifetime achievement award this weekend.

[Cillaliz]

We had a very very busy and very productive week.  We both stayed late working on a project that was a rush job.  So I decided we needed to close at noon and take the afternoon off.  It's such a nice treat after working hard all week

I enjoyed my flute lesson last night.  My teacher was amazed at what I was able to accomplish without formal training.  Now we're going back to the basics, starting with breathing, lol.   Seriously, I'm very excited to unlearn my old bad habits and learn some new and better habits.

These are great. Famous artwork transformed into sandwiches

We don't sell them. The Monarch Scientist and I are only butterfly gardeners.

I'm not very interested in "Midnight in Paris," but I really want to see "The Artist."

I stumbled upon a list of "alternative meaning" words from The Washington Post.  The paper asked folks to supply alternate meanings for a bunch of words, and then they selected what they thought were the best "alternatives":

Abdicate (v.), to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
Balderdash (n.), a rapidly receding hairline.
Circumvent (n.), the opening in the front of boxer shorts.
Coffee (n.), a person who is coughed upon.
Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained.
Flatulence (n.) the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.
Frisbatarianism (n.), The belief that, when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck there.
Lymph (v.), to walk with a lisp.
Negligent (adj.) , describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightie.
Oyster (n.), a person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddish expressions

Had some lunch, picked up packages and an important envelope, did some banking and am waiting for rehearsal to begin.

It sounds difficult to re-learn.  VIBES IT ISN'T TOO DIFFICULT!

[John G.]

Ron Pulliam, the definition of "oyster" is great.

[Jane]

Yes it is.

I'd like to see both of them, but I'll probably not get around to doing so.

Last night JMK commented:

Well I'm back from opening night.  Some really inventive pieces, though I will say some of these writers "want to be Sondheim," to quote a song Guy Haines once sang, and evidently others want to be Duncan Sheik.    But some really great writing all around, and all but one of the cast in my show were indeed able to count to 7.

So, I was wondering JMK, did you want to be Frank Wildhorn?

[TCB]

University of Phoenix is one of the first universities to offer on-line classes and degrees. They have been doing it for quite a few years now. The ad campaign "I'm a Phoenix" refers to the graduates of U of Phoenix and the success they achieved by going to UofP

Thank you, Ben, I was going to get around to answering Laura's question (sometime in the next five years), but I appreciate you doing it for me.

Why would anyone aim so low?

In Honor of DR Laura:  Today I went for a walk roll and this is what I saw.

[TCB]

Not really!  That was a picture posted on Facebook by a friend of DR George (I went to high school with her mother).

WIT with my friend Zachary Spicer opened on Broadway last night.  Looking at the reviews, I guess he was "also in the cast."

Didn't even see his photo in the opening night group.

Ah, but that Broadway salary - and credit!

Not to mention the IBDB.

[TCB]

It was a beautiful sunny day here today.  Not very warm, but very sunny.

[bk]

Had a rough but fun rehearsal - it's going to be a fun show.

[bk]

I suppose I shall endeavor to watch a motion picture on Blu and Ray.

[TCB]

I got that JRB "Trumpet of the Swan" CD for Christmas. Haven't had time to listen to it yet. Hope it's better than 13.

What is a JRB?

[Jane]

As of today THE ARTIST is playing at the local theater.  I't isn't the most comfortable theater & it isn't in 3D.  I'll think about it.

[Jane]

If my shoulders don't feel better soon I will not want to go sit in a movie theater.  I skipped my swim today and cleaned.
