Extra Special Edition of
THE ZSA ZSA & CHARO REPERTORY THEATRE AND TRAVELING CARD TABLE:
With Special Guest Stars Fred and Dummy Sanford

"Quinary is a State of Mined"

Dummy: [questioning]: You know, Pop.  I was thinking, maybe we should sell the junkyard to the Chinese government.  You know we'll eventually have to outsource our junk business and I hear that the Chinese will pay top dollar.
Fred: [very upset]: Sell my empire?!  [clutches chest and looks skyward]: Lizabeth, I'll be seeing you soon.  I'll be the guy in the take-out box.
Dummy: [calmly]: I didn't want to upset you, Pop.  But you know we have to face facts.
Fred: [brutely]: You big dummy!  You're gonna face these [clenches fist] . . . a quinary of my knuckles with my arthur-rite-us!

DR Singdaw I hope you don't live on a lake.

I'm watching a nice backstage film about London in the 1930s, These Foolish Things, which is based on a Noel Langley novel There's A Porpoise Close Behind Us. Langley was one of the 1937 WIZARD OF OZ screenwriters. The film's about the daughter of a stage star trying to make it and her romance with a director and a playwright and it reminds me a bit of [i[Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day[/i] and Being Julia.

I am curious what other DRs thought about yesterday's women's figure skating long program??  Especially the scores for the top 3.

The placements for the long program were mostly correct.   However, I do not believe they were correct in the short program.  Adelina Sotnikova was scored way too high for her technically "light" short program.  And where did those high component (artistry/presentation) scores come from for her?

Someone on the internet today suggested Mao Asada's rise from 16th to 6th was a gift based on her reputation.  I took exception to the remark.  She skated a brilliant long program filled with grace, artistry and technical sophistication.  She leapfrogged over lesser skaters for her final placement.  She earned it, IMO. 

Ashley Wagner takes herself way too seriously, IMO.  She scares me a bit.  I also don't enjoy watching her skate.  I'm thinking the judges find her a bit much, as well.

I don't think Sotnikova came anywhere NEAR matching Carolina Kostner's component elements and a "fair" assessment of the former's skate would likely have seen the same three on top but in different positions.

I thought that Mao Asada's long program was amazing. I am so sad that she did so poorly in the short program.

I cannot believe that  Sotnikova won. It makes no sense to me. Kurt Browning (one of the announcers in Canada) was in shock. He likes her well enough (as do I). But he thought that her artistry was no where near the others. Plus she stumbled.

I thought that Yuma Kim was wonderful. I was shocked that she was rated 5 points lower than the Russian. I am sad the kid Russian fell. I much prefer her style of skating to the girl who won.

BK, I'm really curious as to what your original movie concept was, and how it was changed to become the book that you just finished.

Don't know if this has been answered yet. But I am curious as well.

DR Jennifer will appreciate this....

I switched insurance companies and they sent my new info and card in a plastic folder.  After just 1 minute looking at it and getting my new card out of it my lips itch, my throat is scratchy, and I have a headache.  I'm airing out the paperwork to look at later.

Oh no! :(

Last weekend of rehearsals for our production of the one-act I NEVER MISS A LARRY KRAMER MUSICAL (a parody chat with "Bette Midler") - our tech and first performance are on Tuesday Feb. 25.  Where did the time go?

Trying to post our postcard image, which is here at this like, but having trouble - and rehearsals have truly been a blast, in all good ways:

Work has been piling up lately and I've been stressed out trying to find some quiet time at the office to get work done.  I had a big project today and decided to go back to the office tonight.  I was there for about 3 1/2 hours and got the project done.  I feel really good about that. I'm going to work for several hours tomorrow too.  I think it will cut down on the stress I am feeling at not being able to get work done during the day due to the chaos.  Not complaining about the work, just wishing I had more hours in the day
