Watching the "Flame and the Arrow" with Burt Lancaster. It's yet another of those movies where he seems more interested in his male co-stars than in Virginia Mayo.

Will think about how to phrase my answer to BK's question. But I do like commas around names or interjections, such as "And oh boy, oh boy, can that boy fox-trot?" It may be as simple as, that's the way I was taught.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from Lima after a long day. There was a vestry meeting after church and I was hoping to sit in Richard's office and read while he was in the meeting. No, the wife of one committee member and the mother of another were also waiting and wanted to visit. Then we paid a nursing home call and had a quick sandwich at the new Arby's. Didn't get home until about 4:30.

I like Arby's food.

Doesn't Maggie Smith work in the Downtown Arby's? [not my joke, though I wish it were]

Te he he!

I like the sounds of that high school "Sweeney," Vixmom. I'm wondering if one of those two stars you mentioned was the driving force in making it that elaborate or if their quality caused the people working on it to put in the extra effort.

I am watching this PBS program, CELTIC WOMEN (it was that or Paid Programming). One of the Celtic women started singing "I Dreamed A Dream" and everybody in the audience started applauding. Why do audiences do that? It is hardly a Celtic greatest hit. Are they just happy that they finally heard a song that they knew?

And he is much more interested in himself than he is in his male co-stars.

My hunch is that many here would actually like Adele quite a bit. As I mentioned in my review of her Royal Albert Hall show, she's refreshingly unaffected. A lot of her show was just her with a piano accompanist. No strobe lights, no dancing. just a woman standing there singing.

Now some of the media is saying that Whitney Houston may have drowned in the bathtub. She had apparently combined a lot of alcohol with a lot of Xanax.

I listened to some Adele samples -her song Rumor Has It is one of our Zumba routine songs.

I think I will skip the Grammy Awards tonight - although I am not a regular viewer.....I am not up with the times and don't know many of the nominees - or winners who usually makes jackasses of themselves when saying thanks.....

OK, you convinced me. She is very generous with her music. Often websites only offer a sampling of songs to listen to. Adele gives you multiple videos. http://www.adele.tv/videos/

I think I will watch COLUMBO and then THE INVISIBLE MAN - an episode of the late 50's English series - on Me TV.

Followed by THRILLER.

Oy, all the major news networks have their own Whitney Houston graphics and themes now. I have the sound off but have the tv on waiting for something interesting to come on. I bet the ratings for the Grammys are huge. Jennifer Hudson is doing "I Will Always Love You."

See, I understand the commas in the Sondheim lyric - those make sense to me on every level. Commas around names - most of the time I do it or if that's a fix I'll do it.

Dinner soon. They fed us earlier, but it was eleven in the morning and I couldn't see eating pasta, which everyone else was doing. I ate a small salad.

One last posting, with a two-part comment, from me on commas around exclamations.

I grew up reading that way, so I like it like that. Very conservative of me, I know.

The other is the difference between the following two phrases:

Let's eat, Grandma

Let's eat Grandma.

I've put on Murder on the Orient Express for the evening's entertainment. Haven't seen it in ages. Teh credits sequence has me happy with the music of Richard Rodney Bennett.

Now, a little rest while watching.
