If they got a job with a temp service for 16 days, they could buy a new TV (any size they want) and turn around and get an income tax return in January!!

Back from Graeter's with four (4) cheese crowns.


I had to look that up.  It wasn't what I expected.

Well, there's no accounting for the depthless idiocy of people.

Bruce, did you mean to quote DR Chas or DR TCB?

That's what I was wondering.

I don't remember who I was quoting anymore.  Probably TCB, I should think.

I think so.  TCB's post was about the crazy ladies parking outside the store for Black Friday.

A very good episode of "NCIS" was aired last night.  I thought it one of the best episodes I'd seen of that show in quite some time.  Very touching story that tied back to the Vietnam era.  I also loved the sub-plot of Tony's finding a stray cat, deciding to adopt him and then finding the cat had taken off after he thought they'd bonded.  Cats are like that.   Yeah, they are.

I then went to bed..."NCIS: New Orleans" and "Person of Interest" were being recorded on my DVR at my Condo...so those will be watched "later."


NCIS: NEW ORLEANS was also good last night.  I haven't watched lasst night's regular NCIS, because I have been watching THE FLASH instead.

Back from a fun tap class. It's good to have an hour of dancing just for fun, while all the rest of this ballroom stuff is going on.

Last night, as we were practicing foxtrot, my teacher put on a CD that was half foxtrots, half quicksteps -- and all BK. It started with Michelle Nicastro singing something from Toonful. By the time it was through Harry Groener, Emily and Alice on "Little Me," Gregory Jbara on "Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking," Brent Barrett and so many more had sung. It was rather surreal. It was a duped disc but it had been packaged as ballroom music.

The local B&N has the Jacques Demy set. I will pick that up tomorrow. Thanks, ChasSmith, for the alert.

Elmore it was interesting and fun. I guess I looked too old and boring for any of the staff to interact with

The young and good looking were having fun and it was interesting being a spectator

The acrobatics were fun and impressive

The dinner was weird 

Every table was brought something different to eat.  A huge cage full of lobsters, a platter of beef ribs, a whole suckling pig.... Then you were supposed to barter with people at other tables to get the meal you wanted or to get a taste of something else

Our table was given a suckling pig... I was the only goy at the table of 14 and two of the women began freaking out
 So they took it away and brought us a few of the different other items..eventually

Watching a tape of the Encores! Carnival. I would not have believed it, but Anne Hathaway is little short of a miracle and Douglas Sills is appropriately, wonderfully sleazy. Like Brian Stokes Mitchell, too, and that isn't always the case. Debbie Gravitte is also in fine voice and great comic spirit. I had never seen the show and thought it might have been a little dated. Nope. Just wonderful. And the score really works.
