From DR Cilla:

Quote

Mom said she got her Shirley Temple doll out today. She got it when they first came out. Mom is just a little older than Shirley. She has the dishes, the doll, movie photos etc and all in very good condition....she even has a doll bed that someone made for her and it says on it "For Joan's Shirley Temple doll".

Cool! I would appreciate photos.

Vixmom's wonderful news, however, is more warming than just about anything I can think of. Huzzah!

Isn't it.

And speaking of things non-chilli, I came across this website by former child actor Marc Copage (starred in the 1960s show I am currently addicted to, JULIA).

His life was full of good and no so good. His mother pretty much abandonded him when he was a toddler, and his relationship with his father (who was also an actor) ended up not so good. It is all quite interesting to read. I think he is still in the process of adding to the story.

Wow.

Wife Sandy flew to Los Angeles yesterday to attend her brother's funeral today.

She'll be home tomorrow, but I do miss her.

My condolences to Sandy.

It has been a slightly crazy day. I need to head out again, in the rain, to do what I expected to do this morning. A friend and I are driving to a rehab center in Medford to visit a friend. I hope the friend can go home soon.

I stopped into The Northern Face store today. A few weeks ago, I had stocked up on gear to deal with the cold weather here. They are now having a sale, and they agreed to retroactively adjust my purchase prices. I ended up getting over $90 back!

Thinkin' of Lincoln today... Happy Birthday, sir!

If he were still alive today, he'd be 205 years old...Happy Birthday, Abe!!

HEAR! HEAR! Just wondering, of course in a non-patronymic way, would it be appropriate to get out the pointy hats and dance the cha-cha for Mr. Lincoln on his b-day (I'm sure he would be a welcome guest DR)? Not being a Lincoln scholar, would he have had a sense of humor about such?

I am catching up on yesterday's posts and wish to send big cheers to Vixmom and John G for awesome news; condolences for Druxy's wife Sandy; and, get better vibes for Mike!

Having escaped the East Coast in 2009, as a former (?) native New Yorker, I send "be safe/stay warm" vibes to all who are affected by the latest blast of winter and the Nor'easter. (It will be in the 80s for the rest of this week out here in sahuaro land, I say from my catbird seat with a sheepish grin, having been through many snowy/icy/stormy winters in the past.)

QUESTION TO BK:

Re: "Jeepers Creepers":

What was Zacherley like to work with? I had grown up watching him as "The Cool Ghoul" on local NY television, instilling (?) a love of cheesy horror movies (now somewhat fulfilled by Svengoolie on MeTV aka WCIU-TV).

Recently I obtained a 1975 air check (if that's the correct term) of John Zacherle (not in his Ghoul persona) when he was an album-oriented rock DJ in NYC. Fun too to hear the radio ads from that time period.

Requiescat in pace:
Shirley Temple Black and Sid Caesar

Somehow I can imagine a "Your Show of Shows" in which Shirley Temple would have been affectionately parodied by Imogene Coca.

Sad to read Sid Caesar died just days after the Encores! revival of Little Me.

The Kritzerland show is a tribute to Harold Prince.

Ahh...it all makes sense, now.

I have no memory of anything any more.

Carol Burnett did a parody of Shirley Temple in Fade Out, Fade In.

She also did a pretty funny parody on her TV show.

The TV ad for Jason Robert Brown's "Bridges of Madison County" makes me want to take a sharp pencil and stick it through my ear drums: O'Hara and Pasquale bellowing something about "All my life" at the top of their lungs while the announcer declares it the most gorgeous music on Broadway. Jesus!

The ad's been playing about a week, and it's really dreadful. If I had the option of sitting through the show or having a colonoscopy, I'd start drinking the prep for the exam immediately.

I had Demetrius and the Gladiators in my mailbox today!

Me too! There used to be a day in between DR Jrand63 getting his and mine arriving, but lately it's been a tie.

Checked out a few tracks as I always do even if I'm not going to play a disc right away, and it's gorgeous. I'll have to enjoy this CD straight through, and then watch the film again -- which I've only seen once.

Had the meeting with Terri's other half, Donna. Terri doesn't like meetings. Looks like we're going to issue her CD on Kritzerland and she'll be our guest star in the March Kritzerland show.

After I finished watching skating and Richard got home from the Y and had lunch, we did some errands and went to visit my Mom. We took her a box of Esther Price chocolates for Valentine's Day.
