Just went back though the notes to see what exciting news I had missed from DiT.  I may drink a toast to your success Dan. Then again, I may wait until breakfast time and just butter to your success. I hope the Canadian dictionary spells mould as mould and not mold!

Apparently everyone is off doing their homework or, maybe, just being WUSSBURGERS.  We must get back on track - we have been having slow days and nights here at the oasis.

I just updated my Final Draft to its newest version. Isn't that grand? It actually worked -- not the way it was supposed to according to the instructions - but it worked.

Other interesting news: This evening I went for an impromptu pedicure. I now have pretty pink toenails. The other customer in the shop was Miss Lainie Kazan. She seemed very nice. I don't know what color her toenails are.

We're all about to wussburger in these parts.  It's going to be a crowded bed, with Fletcher, Bonnie, and Buster sharing it with me.  And Fletcher is BIG!  And he likes to CUDDLE CLOSE!

And, me, I'm working on a headcold.

Popcorn - count me out! One of my least favourite smells - a reason not to go to the cinema.

My credit card company just offered me a popcorn maker  when I asked to cash in all my points - I took a voucher for a department store instead.

One post every five minutes or so will do the trick. Not really in a posting mood or a frenzy mood - have a funeral to attend tomorrow.

And where is DR Mr Slaughter?  He is missed. This should be his time for appearing.

Before signing off entirely, I might as well report on a project I've been working on.

Drawing data from Steven Suskin's Opening Nights on Broadway and More Opening Nights on Broadway, I've started charting when the musicals opened and closed, in order to find out what was running concurrently.

(I using the opening date, and an estimated eight shows per week, which may or may not be entirely accurate but it's an estimate.  And the data starts with 1943, which is when Suskin started collecting the data for his books.)

There are a lot of shows that open and close like *snap*.  

One detail I wasn't expecting was to find that Oklahoma, One Touch of Venus, and On the Town were all running at the same time, during January of '45.  I knew the first two shows opened in '43, but I somehow hadn't placed On the Town as being of the same timeframe, since I've always thought of Bernstein as writing, well, "later."

Just a detail I thought I'd share.

You're buying a department store?  Which one?

I'm not in the mood for popcorn right now.  Buster loves the stuff, as does Mikey, and Marty and Bonnie enjoy the sharing.  Fletcher hasn't had any yet, that I know of.  

But finding out how he likes it will have to wait.  Wussing.

Expected that! Which ever one I can buy for $50.
Clothing will be the purchase I expect. A store I wouldn't normally visit - too upmarket for my pension!
I may only be able to afford a pair of socks (or maybe not a pair!)

Of course I am crying poor and about to fly to spend five weeks in France. It 's all relative. And No! I have no relatives in France.

I'm having popcorn (sorry, Tom). It's delish. I'm also watching the Republican convention and it's making me ill (sorry, SWW).

And with excellent postings, too, but it is to wonder where everyone has got to.
