All the trees here are coated in ice. IT's been raining this morning so I'm sure the ice is getting a bit thicker. Today we're supposed to get more "mixed precip" followed by 1-3 inches of snow tonight. It wasn't bad getting around this morning but tomorrow may be worse

And finally, we are off of Page 1.

I didn't have any coffee at the house today so I didn't get any until after I gave up waiting for the Merry Maids. I thought I was sick, lol but I felt better as soon as I had a cup. I'm going to the office this afternoon, but think I better stop at the store on the way and get some coffee. If I get snowed in tomorrow, I"m going to want a cup of coffee.

It's bizarre, hearing about those winter storms! Isn't that part of the country normally clear of it by April? We thought it would never end here, but we're definitely out of it. I just wish the temperatures would stay a little more consistent because today we're not getting our 73 because of the overcast, and tomorrow it drops again into the 50s. But...no winter crap, so I shouldn't complain.

Edith is irritatingly accurate about when I'm going to feel wiped out and when I"m not. She told me yesterday "you got up at 5:00? you're going to be dragging tomorrow" Today she essentailly said "Told you so". I hate that she's right.

It was 76 on Monday. We always get at least on April storm. Last year it came after the trees already had blossoms. So, when it froze my apple blossoms, they fell off and I didn't have any apples. The trees aren't out yet, so if the trees don't break from the ice they should be ok. It's really not that cold out...I think it's in the 40s right now, but it will be closer to freezing later and that's when it gets icky

Yes, icky is a term of art

On article I read reports that, in England, the bestselling song in the last couple of days has been Judy Garland's "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead" with Ella Fitzgerald's version clocking in at No. 4.

Doug R, have you heard it being played since Thatcher's death?

No I haven't heard it nor want to but I believe these reports are based on sales of discs. I don't believe any radio or TV station will play it.

And I am home from the doctor. I missed a step on my walk downtown and fell flat on my face on 73es ns Amsterdam. I skinned my knee and one finger, but it could have been far worse. A very kind young man helped me up, and I fought the urge to burst into tears as I walked the rest of the way. I do not want to become infirm.

I have several appointments to post on my calendar now.

Did Judy record "Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead"?

Judy doesn't sing "Ding, Dong" in the movie, but this story from Billboard says it's hers:

During last season's "The Voice", one of the contestants announced he was singing "Jennifer Hudson's 'And I Am Telling You'". It was not Hudson's song, of course. No such thing. And it was a total hatchet job on the song, itself, as well, although the vocal was very powerful.

I have never heard Judy singing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead". I thought, perhaps, she had done a recording of it that they were referencing. Is it "The Munchkins" doing the singing?

Oh, oh! This past weekend, "Michael Feinstein's American Songbook" had an episode called "Show Tunes."

During the show, he and his partner were seen going through the archives of Ira Gershwin when they were being stored in San Francisco. During the tour, he commented on a 78 rpm recording of songs from "The Wizard of Oz". It was in good shape and is considered rare. Even better, it was signed to Ira from Harold Arlen. At that point, Feinstein referenced Ira Gershwin's "secret involvement" in writing lyrics for "Over the Rainbow".

He was no more specific than that. I had never heard about it. Anyone know more?

Tomorrow I will finish the last of the liner notes, and I’m doing our radio show with Donald Feltham tomorrow night – about A Time for Singing and Juliana’s CD. Friday I go to the opening night of Grease that our very own Mr. Barry Pearl has directed. I’m not sure what the weekend holds, but a little ME time would be very nice indeed.

Speaking of LITTLE ME, isn't our very own, Jason Graae, opening in that show in San Francisco next month?

I know it's not the same but since you have a laptop, if you haven't already done it, you can download the Kindle App for PC and still have access to all your books.

Good lord, DR ELMORE, watch where you're going!

I haven't taken a good header like that in years, but I well remember it is NO FUN.

I have the unfortunate and sloppy habit of occasionally not picking up my feet when I'm out walking somewhere, and I'll catch my shoe on the smallest damned things, like a half-inch-raised panel of sidewalk, or you name it. Those little moments are embarrassing enough, but actually hitting the deck is something that none of us need to be doing. It's good that all you did was skin some skin.

My favorite Steven Wright line is "It's a small world....but I wouldn't want to paint it"

I also really like, " You can't have everything...where would you put it?"
