Front porch railing - done!  And just in time, too, because it's clouding up and looking like rain...





Wow!  Very nice.

I'm hoping to see The Guilt Trip tomorrow through this website:

They tell you upfront that they overbook so seats are not guaranteed.  I have to convince my friends to go early.

I'm a little tired of my snobby theatre friends dissing on the trailers of the new "Les Miserables" movie. (which is being released on Christmas Day in case you hadn't heard).  I just want to bitch-slap them from here to Tuesday.  It's a MOVIE!!  If you want Broadway voices, then watch the DVD's of the concerts.  IMHO, it's not fair to compare a stage to screen transfer of a Broadway show.  They are two different animals that require two different types of people, one of which would be a known movie STAR. 

Sorry, it just gets on my nerves.


I would say that Hugh Jackman would certainly qualify as a Broadway musical person.  And he never missed a performance in the BOY FROM OZ, much to Kevin Spirtas' chagrin.

Coincidentally, the Maryland PBS stations are showing the 25th Anniversary Concert version right now.

While I enjoyed Hugh Jackman immensely in The Boy from Oz, I wonder how he'll be singing "Bring Him Home."  Looking forward to the movie, nonetheless.

Thanks, Vixmom.

And thank you, Ben. Am on the second episode of "The Pickwick Papers." Very amusing.

Even our usual number of sixty GUESTS has diminished by half.


I was going to ask you (next Wednesday) if the number of Guests had increased since Broadway World, but I guess you answered that question.

I don't know. The gentleman was asleep when we went into his house and removed the lot. He never identified himself.

Your typing skills seem to be okay, but it is your humility that is in question.

There is that Cadillac commercial that they are currently showing of them testing the car's handling on the streets of Monte Carlo.  It is so cool to watch that commercial and recognize all of those places that I was visiting just three years ago.

Right, there's no Blu of Umbrellas and I hope there isn't until the widow Demy lets someone who knows what they're doing restore it.  "Her" restoration of The Young Girls of Rochefort was horrifying and I'm quite sure her husband would have divorced her had he lived to see what she'd done.  Thankfully, it was restored anew (in the true sense of the word "restored") by others and that's on Blu-ray in France and absolutely stunning.  I want them to do Umbrellas.

The main problem I have is the loss of feeling in the left leg and foot.  But it was when I lost the feeling in the right foot that caused me to stop driving.  There is certainly some improvement in my right foot, but it is the left leg that is still the problem.  The right foot is better than it was, but I still don't think I would want to drive any great distance.
