In honor of Groundhog Day I'm wondering about P. Phil's lifestyle. I presume that groundhogs usually live in the ground, yet every time we see P. Phil he's clean and well-groomed. I believe he must live above ground, probably in a cage, and isn't really representative of groundhogs in general. Wouldn't that negate his observational skills?

LOL

Callie has been doing so well lately, I'm just amazed.  Maybe she knows she won and I'm not going to travel so she has me to give her meds every day, or maybe she's just happy.  She's started spending the evening in the livingroom with Ricky Boo and I.  She used to stay upstairs all the time.  Boo used to chase her out of the room and she's started just staying.  She doesn't ever sit on my lap, never has since she was a kitten, but today she came amazingly close.  She actually sat on the arm of the chair and let me pet her.  I was amazed.  I can't tell you how happy this all makes me.  It was 10 years ago that the vet was telling me I may have to start thinking about whether it was better to put her to sleep....... I changed vets.

Awww, this warms my heart.

I'm pretty sure P. Phil enjoys a very comfortable lifestyle befitting the one-percenters of groundhogs, DR Jeanne.

I read this as Dr. Phil. I think he lives underground, too.

Thanks to Jane and Cilla and Jeanne and Dan M. and Tom and Iris.

I received a pair of very comfortable galligaskins for my birthday this year.

Will there be a photo?

[Jane]

DR Iris, it is nice to see you here and not simply lurking

If I'm not mistaken, galligaskins are handed out to the first five rows at a Gallagher performance.  (. . . hello, the Seventies recalled that comment . . .).

I do know that my decision to return to giving her Bonita flakes has also helped in her wanting to be around me all the time.  I quit giving them to her years ago when she started having her problems.  I decided to try them again about a year ago.  You'd think I found the fountain of youth

I'm practicing on my new Surface 2.   I had to reset the thing a couple times to undo some mistakes I made in setting up outlook, but once I did, I love it. If it wasn't for work, I don't know that this would be the best option, but it has everything I need to work take work with me so it's perfect

And I am home. I got all of the Act One Piano/Conductor score for JUBILEE scanned and converted to pdf files. On Thursday, I will do Act Two, which is half the length of Act One. On Friday, while the piano tuner is there, I'll print and bind a couple of vocal scores.

Our birthday boy Ben and Anthony came by to visit, and we spent a couple of hours gossiping and catching up. It was lovely to see them.

I'll have a bit of dinner and chill out before tonight's DOWNTON ABBEY.

[Ben]

Thanks, Sing!

[Ben]

Yes, we had a wonderful, laugh-filled visit with Larry and we didn't talk about any of you!!!

We then went to our favorite restaurant, East of Eighth for dinner, stopped at Trader Joe's for a cake and we are home (we've been home for a while but I took a nap).

It's been a nice birthday. Thank you all.

In the last several weeks I have seen more Seahawks shirts than I can remember the count and only 1 Bronco's shirt. 

[Jane]

I'm not watching the game, however, I had just checked the score before reading the post.

[Dan M]

Just wondering if anyone could recommend a Blossom Dearie CD.

Sunday morning greetings!  We decided to sleep in, which I did until just before 8 and Richard is still doing.  Today we're going to take a drive across the Alabama line so I can add that to my "states visited" list.  We told Perry & Pam we'd be at their house in time to hear Renee Fleming sing the National Anthem.

I didn't make it in time.  Today, I observed a run-through of "The House on Pooh Corner," for which I will be running the sound board.  It's a cute show and the actors are having a great time.  I went to Costco after rehearsal and got home a little more than an hour ago.  I found Renée Fleming's National Anthem on YouTube HERE.  She certainly can sing and definitely didn't embarrass herself, like others have in the past.

[George]

What a shock!  RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman

Someone found out about this during rehearsal, today.  It very much was a shock!

[George]

WHY DOES DISNEY USE THE MUPPETS TO SELL CARS??

What's next...Darth Vader hawking stuff, too??

That was great and I liked her outfit too.  Thanks for the link.
