A family I know left a gift for me by the front door - a plateful of homemade latkes, which I'll heat up later and have for my evening snack.

It is official, I will be directing GUYS & DOLLS in June.


Wow - we've got the horse right here!  So to speak.


Congratulations, DR Jrand63.     :)

I bought myself a wireless keyboard and it is driving me crazy.  I have to be very heavy handed (pun intended) when typing or it doesn't register the keystroke.  The worst seems to be the spacebar.  Maybe it takes time to loosen up, or maybe I just bought a cheap model, but it is making my already bad typing skills, even worse.
How far is the keyboard from the wireless thingy?  I have that problem at work once in a while and when I move the wireless thingy it works again.. Or sometimes I replace the batteries in the keyboard and it works better

I'm going to watch part 2 of Bonnie and Clyde.   Part 1 was ok.  It was very true to the real story

I wish I had HBO, but I'd read that it might be released on DVD.  That would be great!

Oh no!  'Sound of Music' actress Eleanor Parker dies at 91:(

Nice tribute, especially Christopher Plummer's comments.

I always liked her. I wondered why ABC showed clips of her in that movie during the news broadcast tonight. It was across the gym with the sound down.

It is amazing how many hours of my time it took to change my book group meeting, and then only by one day.  We are meeting on Wednesday instead of Tuesday because it works for everyone.  I shouldn't have let myself me talked into changing it. 

I am sooooo relieved I'm done with this, at least I hope I am.  It is still very icy out there.

DR John G, I am so sorry about your friend. I had meant to post this before i headed to midtown.

And what's 40 years among friends? I've just had the best five hours of my life in some time, and I hated to say good night to Craig and Janet. We spent two and a half hours in the bar of the Marriott, then had a two and a half hour dinner at Joe Allen. I had the meat loaf, Janet had the fish tacos, ad Craig had liver and banana cream pie at my urging,

I have to put my meds together and get to bed. Good night, everyone!

Thanks, DRs KevinH, George, and Cillaliz, for the nice comments about Rob.  We'll learn more when we go out for my early birthday dinner tomorrow.  We scheduled it to accommodate Rob's work hours...

I am 4 books ahead of schedule on my challenge at Goodreads to read 150 books this year.  This far into December, no way will I be able to read 6 more books this month. ;D

Momentarily, until I realized that I'm going out to lunch with a friend on Wednesday and wouldn't want to go out for dinner the same day.

I was really disheartened for a while about giving up jobs that I loved to move and be unemployed, but then I thought - this is crazy; how many times in my adult life will I go through the holiday season without the responsibility of a job? I'm going to try to fully live through and ENJOY this holiday season. And so far, I am!

I don't mean to downplay the painful and very real financial stress that DS Rob is undoubtedly going through with this news.

I never would have thought of putting liver and banana cream pie together. Not my kind of treat.

Finished Mud, which was fascinating but the violence at the end was hard to watch. So, I'm watching Secondhand Lions to liven things up a bit. Nice to see the ramshackle splendor of Cele Store, one of the barbecue joints used as a set, in an upbeat picture, as opposed to the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
