Good morning, all.

There's an opinion piece in the Washington Post on "Les Miz" and gender stereotypes that you might want to check out: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/why-we-love-les-miserables-despite-its-miserable-gender-stereotypes/2012/12/28/bc8ef17e-4f84-11e2-839d-d54cc6e49b63_story.html?tid=pm_opinions_pop

The writing is pedantic, but the ugly nature of the comments is such that it makes me think she struck a nerve with her observations.

Good morning, all.

The neighbor did the plowing last night, but it was still snowing lightly and I have some snowblower cleanup ahead of me.  AFTER another cup of coffee.

I have yet to see SOLDIER IN THE RAIN all the way through.  The PBS station showed it here a week or two ago and I watched the first few minutes.  I've also caught bits of it on TCM or whatever in the past, and was intrigued enough to order it on a Warner Archives disc.  But have I watched it?  No, but I can tell you the transfer is very weird, and not at all pleasant to sit through -- it's an old video master of some kind, and needs to be done over.  Actually, I don't know what I'm talking about here, but someone on HTF explained what the deal was some time ago and that's the general gist of it.  General Gist.  He's a character in my hilarious new Cold War play that's about to open on Broadway.

Sunday morning greetings!  I stayed home from Lima today to take down Christmas decorations.  They usually stay up until after Epiphany (Jan. 6), but I wanted to get them put away before we cross the pond.

DR JOHN G thanks for that link - that author is so myopic it is sad....even sadder is that she TEACHES and WRITES on something that might be fine as a personal opinion....but why clutter up the curriculum with it?

The comments are interesting.....and I am assuming that a lot of them are from her friends, students, or the writer herself.

I'm cooking roast brisket today. It's something I've hardly ever done because slow cooking never works well for me. We'll see how it turns out! Apart from that I'm in the middle of doing loads of laundry after being away over Christmas.

I tried to watch WHAT A WAY TO GO last night.  I had only seen it on television, so it was fun to see it in widescreen.....but I gave up about halfway through the Gene Kelly segment....

I also realized that I was confusing it in my mind with a movie titled WOMEN TIMES SEVEN....another Shirley MacLaine movie from the 60's.
