Remember I said earlier that we were being treated royally here at Norwich Cathedral?  Well, we learned yesterday that our host, Canon Jeremy, has been appointed Chaplain to Her Majesty the Queen.  He's one of 30 and it's quite an honor.

Vixdad was suitably impressed but he said it was too bad you couldn't have gone a few month s alter he said its beautiful in spring

Vid mom, you didn't mean that you had received the DVD, did you.

Oh no, I was responding to your post that it had been shipped - I am  quite overwhelmed by this sudden luxury of riches - opera DVDs from Elmore and today I received the Kennedy  Center Honors from DR George - thank you George!!!! and Topsy Turvey  on the way from you  -


 you are all very very sweet  and I am very, very  grateful

The last time I saw Cathy do the show,  in the Uggawa Uggawa number in the second act, she wore me out just watching her dance!

Sadly, Extremely E and T DR Jhvw went outside today and found their 13 year old dog Bella had died.  She was at the end of the driveway, he wasn't sure if she was hit by a  car (very quiet residential area) or if she had died from health problems, but it was a shock.  They are all very sad.  Unfortunatley one of Jon's friends posted it on FB before his two brothers had been told about it.  Fortunately I saw it and called with my condolences and he was able to get it taken of FB before the brothers saw it.

My favorite part of the show.

Rob and I talked about recording ROBERTA, and he directed me to this:

I'd never seen it, and it's brilliant.
Yes, it is.

I had a half order of the Swedish crepes and a half side of bacon...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You mean a side order of bacon? I usually sit down to a whole slab.

it was half a side order   I only wanted two slices instead of 4


I'm sorry, I don't understand.  Could someone please explain the following concepts to me?  

"half a side order"
"only wanted two slices"

I just can't seem to wrap my brain around those things...
Translator! Please, we need help.

I just watched for the first time - I cannot believe that! - IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER. It was quite moving, but what wa sthat strange dress Delores Gray wore for the broadcast? It looked like a demented tutu with a train.  I loved Gray. No one plays egocentric as well as she.
Everything about her character was strange, which made her so watchable.

I never wanted to believe the stories about how egomaniacal and depressive Gene Kelly was, but apparently he was in full armor for that one. Even had Michael Kidd's really fun dance with the kids cut because he felt it upstaged him.

Still, there are scenes in that movie -- the three soldiers' dance at the beginning, the dance on roller skates, Cyd Charisse in the ring -- that I really enjoy.

I am home.  I was at the birthday party for only thirty minutes, but there was some classic comedy going on there between me and a Korean woman - it was like Abbott and Costello and I'll talk about it in the notes.

Then Nick, Julie and I went to a Thai restaurant that Nick loves.  Their portions are fairly small, so I ordered three things: A salad with peanut dressing, pad Thai, and a cashew chicken dish, all extremely yummilicious.  For dessert we all shared Thai custard and a tiny scoop of coconut ice cream.  The conversation was sparkling and a good time was had by all.  Then I came home, opened the garage door only to see that it stopped halfway up.  I pushed the button and it closed and thank goodness it did because it now won't go up OR down - had I gotten the car in there, that would have been a bit of a deesaster.  I don't like leaving the car parked on the street, but will have to until I can get someone here to see why it's suddenly not working.  If I push the button I can hear the motor working, but nothing happens.  I tried opening it by hand, but that doesn't seem to be possible.
