TOD:

Comedy Tonight in A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM. 

And just to mention one that MR BK did not:

Many Moons Ago from ONCE UPON A MATTRESS

Although I think my favorite is COMPANY.

Then of course there is We're Gonna Tear Up This Town from the musical version of ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN.

Not really - just there to see who reads my posts.

I reads 'em!!!

And while we are on the topic of musicals today, here is a question for you all:

Mae-Ling seems to be interested in musicals lately. Can you nice folks recommend a few good shows kids can watch that I could get on dvd? So far she has seen the Cathy Rigby version of Peter Pan. We tried watching the movie version of Phantom of the Opera, but it was pretty bad.

So far I have "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and "Music Man" on my list.

Wae-Ling is still very happy to watch Peter Pan while she is here.

The King and I,  25th anniversary performance  version of Phantom of the Opera, The Sound of Music, and Oklahoma immediately leap to mind

Back from a two-mile jog.  Difficult but it felt really good.  Made two more nips and tucks to the commentary, just to make two longer things more concise, and especially for one of the bits of patter so it wouldn't break over two pages.  Then I printed out those two fixed pages and I'm all set.

We are at 50 degrees right now.  I have question.  What temp do you all set your thermostat on when it's cold?  I have mine on 68 but it still seems cold in the house.  I put the little doggie blankets I found at walmart on the dogs last night.  They seem to like them.

68.  When we lived in Massachusetts where it was really cold we kept the house at 62 degrees to reduce our bills.  It was Keith's idea yet he was at work during the day and then would turn the heat up when he got home, after I had to bundle up all day-lol

The Julie Andrews Cinderella! Still the best!

Maybe but for a young girl I think the Disney version is enchanting.

I have mine set at 68 too, DR Danise. 

Mine is at about 71 at night and when I'm gone and 73 when I'm home.  That 2 degrees seems to make a big difference.  The biggest thing to do is shut curtains or blinds at night and make sure there aren't air leaks coming in under the door.  Since it's not cold all the time there, you can just put a rolled up towel along the bottom of the door.  

At night we turn the house down to 65 and the bedroom to 66.

MARY POPPINS
BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS (although it bored the heck out of me)
INTO THE WOODS (only the First Act)
WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (also kind of dark)
BARNUM
SHI CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG
OH CALCUTTA (Just kidding!)

I think you are correct, Jennifer.  The show was not renewed for another season, but they are still filming.

Just got in from doing the laundry and grocery shopping.  You can feel the temp starting to go down.   Burrrrrr. 

I haven't had a chance to see what is going on with that sink hole but when I came out of Walmart there were no less than six sheriffs cars at the light heading east ( Where the sink hole would be from that spot) unless something else is going on.

I don't know when the filming will stop for the show.  I know it didn't seem that long after I was on it that they broke for the summer.

I did enjoy the trip to NYC--I got to see our very own DR Elmore!
