I think perhaps the stupidest rant I've read on SOM came from a person on castreql that Elmore has taken issue with in the past. He is now writing about how horrible Anne Hathaway would have been in a part that she didn't play because she was lousy in a reading he attended and this despite the fact that the TV production had weeks and weeks of rehearsal. I can't even begin to unravel the logic of that or why it's even being mentioned. It's just somebody wanting something else to complain about.

Enough already.

Here is a nice birthday photo of MR BK reading the first volume of his autobiography in New York City in 2010.




I hope it was at a book reading, and not just in some bar that he wandered into one night.

DR TCB, Mary Martin's story about Oscar Hammerstein is a crock. THE SOUND OF MUSIC opened on Broadway on Nov. 16, 1959, and Hammerstein died on August 23, 1960, nine months later. The lyric she says he gave her before he died was in the show on opening night.

Well, I was probably 12 when I saw the Jack Paar program, so I did get a few of the points wrong.  But the gist of the story is true.

Your story may be accurate; no one knows if Mary Martin was telling the truth about this anecdote or not!

I'm up, I'm up.  I was up at seven, fell back asleep until ten-thirty, and then the garage door people came because the door kept not closing last night.  The guy checked everything and again thought it was the sensors - if a cobweb or leaf gets in front of either of the lenses it causes problems I guess.  So, if it happens again, I'll try dusting them off first, but it's working fine now.

Having a restful birthday right now, and in about an hour I'll be on my way to the theater and the matinee, then to a birthday meal at Genghis Cohen or maybe even somewhere else.

I was very happy to see Keith return from using the snowblower on our entire road, yes the road.  He also did parts of here he didn't do yesterday.  He said it was too icy to cross the main road to the mailbox but there weren't any tracks which means the mailman couldn't deliver the mail.

Darn, he is going back down, just on our driveway, to spread some salt.  We hope it works. 

It is a good thing we stocked up on food on Friday.

Off (like a prom dress) to church festivities. This morning I am singing in the choir and playing handbells.

When I got to the theater last night, about  90% of the cast had already seen my rant about the SOM talkathon.  They all seemed to agree with it.

they were probably just scared you'd foreclose their properties and  call in their loans if they disagreed with Mr Potter!






whoda thunk that sweet kid with the lightening bolt scar would grow up to be such a mean old man?

I fell down again , this time in the social hall at church;  just like I did at work a couple of weeks ago:  full out fall landing flat on my face.

I was wearing the same shoes I was wearing last time so I think I am retiring that pair of shoes,  apparently I am now  too old and decrepit to wear three inch heels and next time I may break a hip

My body's all achin' and wracked with pain

I went back to bed this morning about 9:30 and didn't wake up until 12:30.  It felt so good to sleep.  I need to go clear the driveway.  There isn't much snow, but I really don't want to do it, lol.

I've been on a binge of cooking out of my old Betty Crocker Cookbook.  Today I made meatloaf.  Yummy.

One of the silicone nose guards fell off of my glasses and the slight tip as been making me slightly nauseated.  Last night I had a mild migraine, very mild as two tylenol took care of it. 

I would have had it replaced yesterday if only......tomorrow isn't looking hopeful.

My family has always been interested in Bonnie and Clyde.  My parents have been to the house in Joplin where they had the shootout with police and have been to a museum near where Bonnie and Clyde were killed. I've read a number of books about them. And had a life sized poster of Warren Beatty as Clyde in my room when I was growing up.  I'm very anxious to see the movie.
