Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a not-so-hot restoration, and now it is time for you to post until the restored cows come home.

Morning all.

That is all.

We had a great party out in New Jersey yesterday. More food than you can imagine and a nice visit with cousins.

Today we will head out to Long Island for a few days. Long Island will also be a food fest.

It's been a quiet holiday time for us this year. That's good.

Ben · « **Reply #6 on:** December 23, 2012, 04:21:52 AM »

And with that, I'll see you all on Long Island.

Good morning, all.

Vibes for Vixmom and anyone else in need.

Another long day ahead. Our Christmas Festival of Lessons and Carols is this morning. We have to play at both services, and I'm a little exhausted after last night's dance party, which was fun.

Presents all wrapped so I'm all set for the drive to Wales where I'll be spending Christmas.

Good morning, all! I stayed up too late last night watching a 2-hr presentation of the Fabulous Beekman Boys on the Cooking Channel, and after two hours of food-oriented commercials, i had yo turn off the tv because I was starving.

I have few plans today beyond wrapping a couple of gifts and getting Christmas bonuses settled for my super, postman, and the doormanand super at the office. Perhaps I'll watch THE BISHOP'S WIFE, a film I've never seen.

Good morning, all.

Oy. Was I E&T yesterday, or what?

Coffee!

Thanks to DR ELMORE for another CD, a compilation of DR ELMORE-arranged holiday music. It shall be added to today's rotation!

DR TCB - I can just ABOUT take a lot of CGI scenery - but CGI animals - NO. But I won't say anymore, because I don't want a repeat of what happened when I expressed my opinion about Flaherty & Ahrens.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 23, 2012, 06:40:47 AM »

DR ELMORE - The Bishop's Wife should be SEEN at once.....even David Niven is fine....and Loretta Young and Cary Grant and Gladys Cooper are all outstanding.....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 23, 2012, 06:41:38 AM »

And remember that when filming began Grant and Niven were playing each other's parts, and producer Goldwyn watched the rushes and decided they should start over and switch. He was right.

Thanks for that bit of information, DR JRand62! Now I need to find that DVD set. I can watch the uncut Laurel & Hardy BABES IN TOYLAND as well.

Ah a nice afternoon of viewing......and of course there are the ice skaters wearing rubber masks in the long shots to look like the stars.....

Yesterday was a bit insane, what with having to fight the holiday traffic and shopping crowds to replace a just-deceased 32-year-old Sears Kenmore canister vacuum cleaner. Did about two and half minutes of research, decided to stick with Kenmore for another 32 years, chose the model I wanted, schlepped across town to pick up one of the 8 units the website said the local Sears had, and came home empty-handed after it turned out that the website's information was...

(you're not going to believe it)

(ready?)

(here it comes...)

a complete falsehood.

The store's system also said 8 units, but they were nowhere to be found, and they apologized over and over for the apparent -- I believe the phrase was "inventory error".

Oh well. I still wanted that one, so I paid for it at the sale price which ended yesterday, and I'll have it within a few days.

Even including that little adventure, I guess the day was pretty nice, though I didn't have a chance to watch or listen to a damned thing. The little birthday gathering last night was lovely. And that is my tale. The End.

I cannot find the holiday collection with THE BISHOP'S WIFE. I honestly have no idea where the fat hell it is.

There was a copy on sale from eBay this morning, so I orderedit. That set is now out of print, so if I end up with two copies, someone will get a loverly gift next year.

I've done the same thing a couple of times. I ended up with three LP's from ROME ADVENTURE.
