4.4 I'm reading. Have to surely stay away from Facebook or I will not be able to bite Ye Olde Tongue.

Good morning, all.

SwampThing, do you have blueberry pancakes on the brain?

Possible job vibes for Elmore.

I don't think Bah Humbug is all that out of line, Mike. I wore blue today.

That said, I do recall traveling a few hundred miles to go to Chicago for St. Patrick's Day when it was on a weekend. We were driving from Middletown, Ohio, so this must have been in the mid 1980s.

Anyway, we got there, drank at a number of places, managed to get the car stuck in a snowdrift in a really unacceptable part of town, drank some more and when we woke up the next day, it was so late we missed the dying of the river. I remember more drinks that weekend, some green, others not. And some really good food. Love Chicago eats.

Thank you, bk. Because of the reviews, I was not going to go out of my way to see "The Book Thief." I had loved the book too much. I would have eventually seen it, I'm sure, but now I'm actively going to seek it out.

TOD:

I rode in the first Hollywood St. Patrick's Day parade with my client, Dan O'Herlihy, who was the Grand Marshal.

Also in the parade was my client, Bridget Hanley, and friend, Charles Durning, who wore a fantastic green crushed top hat that made you smile. (His wife hated it.)

After the parade, everybody lunched at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

A most memorable day.

Tiny aftershock. I'm going back to bed.

Quite possibly.

Except that those are chocolate chips.

I wore blue today.

And I am sure you look quite smashing in it.

Hello, everyone.

Yes, we had a shaker this morning. I don't see how anyone could have slept through it. I woke up at 6 am after a car alarm went off. I fell back to sleep until the earthquake hit at 6:25. They don't normally bother me as I grew up with them, but this one had me rattled. No damage here and no reports of any that I've heard of. But what a way to start the day! Ugh.

Jeanne · « **Reply #73 on:** March 17, 2014, 07:52:23 AM »

After the big Northridge quake twenty years ago friends in LA told me they'd leave a pair of shoes and their jeans next to their bed. It makes sense, but I hope it doesn't come to that for me.

Jeanne · « **Reply #74 on:** March 17, 2014, 07:54:29 AM »

I will try to take care of all my Monday stuff, then take a nap. I'll be back later to read the Notes and posts. Have a good day.

singdaw · « **Reply #75 on:** March 17, 2014, 07:59:05 AM »

Glad you are OK, DR Jeanne.

Snowing here now. Substantial snow predicted for tomorrow.

Do I understand correctly that one can wear orange instead of green, for a little extra excitement...?

My dad, raised Protestant in the rabid anti-Catholic South, always wears orange today. It's also his favorite color. Go figure.

I know that's meant to confuse, but if anyone is looking for stringpaw, he's "Thither".

It seems to be it has become a day like St. Valentine, President's, Memorial just to celebrate and have sales. People seem to forget what it really is all about.

Folks in the U.S. just aren't inclined to celebrate the anniversary of the death of a saint, except in religious observances. To most of us, he was the man who rid Ireland of snakes.

Glad to hear BK and DR Jeanne are okay after the earthquake!

Forgive me, Arnold Brockman, but my song of the day is:

All Shook Up

I was looking through some old playbills and found one for Sunset Boulevard at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA from 3 years ago and saw that our Sandy Bainum was in it!

Well, I'm glad to say that there's only a few inches of snow where I live so it shouldn't be too hard clearing my car off, etc.

Hello All:

TOD:

I can't give a specific year that was the best St Patty's Day,, but I sure had a lot of good times celebrating.

We didn't go out this year. I do get anxious about all the Drinking and Driving. We had a nice weekend at home and did have Corned Beef and Cabbage yesterday.
