I saw the dvd of Catching Fire last night and really liked it.

I'm not surprised you like it

The Basil Rathbone movies on tv were my introduction. I can't say when I saw my first one but I vividly recall 14 Sunday afternoons the first year we were married when the Rathbone films were shown.

Re the oreos sign - this is the new thing on Facebook - none of these things are real - they're all photoshopped - someone last night posted a sign from Santa Cruz saying Yoga would be subject to a fine due to a city ordinance. I called fake and someone posted the real sign pre-photoshopping - obviously nothing to do with Yoga.

Funny, I never thought it was real only that it was a joke.

Joke or not, anyone who has ever worked in a public library will find it plausible and full of vivid possibilities.

Well, I'm off. The Theater Artists Olympia board is having a short TAO Toga Party Fund Raiser post-mortem tonight and I have the finances. There's another meeting right after that, but it all shouldn't take too long. A couple of hours at the most.

Until later!

This must be sung by the Muppets. No one else, even the composer, can do it full justice.

Watching Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (the original) for the first time in decades. I forgot how good this movie really is. I remember it as being softer and not so pointed, so vital today.

TOD - Richard is the Holmes fan in our household. The CBS series ELEMENTARY is the first version that's really held my interest.

Oh, how I've wanted a deerstalker hat and a meerschaum pipe. I did have a large round magnifying glass, until it broke.

One of my earliest hints that our son would be creative was when he, at about 4 years old, made his own deerstalker by wearing 2 baseball caps - one frontwards and the other backwards. Eventually, Santa left him a real one.

On this date in 1409 the Council of Pisa opened. From all accounts, the way the Council began gave no indication of its leaning.

On this date in 1895 Italian troops invaded Ethiopia. The next day, to commemorate the event, Frank Sinatra sang, "I'll be looking at the moon but Abyssinia".

Proofing the manuscript for the barbecue book is causing my eyes to blur. Big time. It's strange, but as I get tired, much of this content reads like someone else wrote it. It's like I'm seeing it for the first time.

At the urging of a co-worker, and because you can only watch just so many episodes of MR. ED, I decided to try DOWNTON ABBEY.

Tonight I watched the first and second episode. I cannot wait for Netflix to send me the next disc!!!!

I'd be happy to just see Spring. It is super cold here. And there are mountains of snow still. It is horrible.

This is not a funny novelty song.

I just stumbled across it. I hadn't heard it for close to 70 years, and listening now is still chocked me up.

My mother told me that, when I was about 4, I'd listen to this record over-and-over and cry.

Is it any wonder that "Poor Old Rover" is not one of Bing Crosby's greatest hits?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pyHTjiFjCA

The sound was too bad for my lousy speakers so I looked up the words. Did Rover save the boy and then what happened?

I don't know about "the boy".

The singer (Crosby) is taking his old dog out to put him down...presumably with a bullet in his head.

A very depressing song.
