BK,

Congrats on the LI'L ABNER gig.

It is, of course, time to take out all of the holiday music and movies and shows, but I have a crazy few days coming up, so much of that will be better served waiting till various and sundry dust settles.

TOD:

Nothing really new. I have been expecting a half dozen DVDs I ordered during the Warner Archive sale, but UPS keeps sending me delay notices due to the weather.

I love Sheldon Harnick!

And who in their right mind doesn't? But it's great to say it every once in a while.

No snow yet and Precious is at the beauty shop.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** December 13, 2013, 07:48:46 AM »

Our snow is scheduled for all day tomorrow, morning to night. Estimate is four to eight inches, and I'm hoping for the minimums.

TOD, continued--

For some reason, I feel compelled to take out the LI'L ABNER movie...

elmore3003 · « **Reply #39 on:** December 13, 2013, 08:49:37 AM »

And it's time to take the laundry out of the dryers!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #40 on:** December 13, 2013, 08:50:31 AM »

Huffington Post has started something really screwed up; you need to "verify" your account with Facebook! WTF?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #41 on:** December 13, 2013, 08:52:32 AM »

LI'L ABNER has, of course, always been one of my favorite musicals to include a song in Cb major.

Laundry is finished.

Maybe some episodes of POLICE WOMAN, so that I can get that disc returned to Netflix

More sad, scary Christmas photos. Some are so horrible that the one below seems tame:

You're planning on bringing in Carol Channing as Daisy Mae, aren't you?
LOL I'm sure Ms. Channing is thinking that she could do the part.

She might be pretty funny as Mammy!

Yes, congrats to BK!!!

It's been a surprisingly busy day today. Guess that end-of-year lull ain't happening this year.

Been up since nine-thirty with several telephonic calls relating to abner, and now I'm awaiting a bacon cheeseburger

The melody looks a little off, though.

singdaw · « **Reply #56 on:** December 13, 2013, 12:27:40 PM »

DR George - I don't think the parody is intended to duplicate the melody.

Well, I know that.

I did notice that some of the lyrics in the recording were different than what's on the music. Just a couple of lines. It really is pretty cool!

Thank you DR Vixmom. We only had a little rain and I was able to make my appointment. I also got my glasses fixed though they seem wrong again. I think the silcone guards are bigger than the last ones, at least it feels that way. I now have to get used to my glasses resting on my face different

I also picked up my beautiful birthday flowers from Craig.

After I was done with my doctor's appointment I had to wait another 40 minutes for Keith to pick me up since he was at the gym. It was frustrating not to go for a walk but it isn't work risking a fall on the ice. Driving through town it was amazing how many places weren't shoveled or they were shoveling today.
