Since I retired from my job and had to turn the laptop back in, I have not had a computer with Office or Word or anything. I finally got my new computer back with all the stuff I want installed. Mostly. Now I just have to get used to a new keyboard and the awful touch pad (or whatever you call it) that allows the cursor to move around. I don't know about this.

I use a keyboard and a mouse with my laptop.

We had a delightful morning with DR TCB's good friends and their dogs. Keith put a photo on FB I can transfer here once we are home, unless someone kindly beats me to it. Bogart is the Saint Bernard and Frasier their 2 year old, playful, Bernese Mt Dog.

Looks like DR Cillaliz's "weather guy" is partially right. Southern MN (and IA) will get some snow on Feb 2.

We had expected the drive between Tacoma and home to be prettier.

It could be worse and it is only a couple of hours. We plan to return to see another DR in a play at some time.

I know Mario Lopez had a part in the proceedings as an actor, but his appearances backstage...with microphone and him in a suit...brought to mind his most recent commercial....the one for "toenail fungus".

Cheesy.

Brie? Cheddar? Or something with a noxious odor?

TOE JAM!

TOD:

She Loves Me

But then again, I like to see my favorite musical done in any way, at any time.

Are you going to see the new Broadway revival?

After watching The Sound of Music LIVE! with its relentless commercial breaks, I wouldn't wish any musical I loved a broadcast on the commercial networks. I remember the good old days of the Public Theatre broadcast of Much Ado About Nothing in the early 1970s where the Xweox commercials were shown only at the act breaks.

Maybe something like "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown!," which has short and usually unrelated scenes, would probably lend itself more to having commercial breaks.

Grease was live on the East Coast.

I am curious, there was a very bad sound problem during "Hopeless Devoted To You". IT wasn't with the actual singing. But there was a really bad static while she was singing. Were they able to fix this for the West Coast? I was really disappointed that they couldn't get rid of it at any point during the song.

Ar one point, during the dance-off in the gym, the sound went off for about 15 seconds.

Yes that happened too. But the bad static during the entire "Hopelessly Devoted To You" was really bad on the East Coast. Completely ruined the song for me.

I watched that part, but I must not have been paying too much attention because I didn't notice anything wrong.

I think they fixed the static and other problems for the West Coast. Which, I don't know, call me crazy, kind of negates the "live".

Back from a patty melt and a few onion rings. Very windy here.

Let's hope the wind isn't a consequence of eating the onion rings.

oooh, CYMBAL CRASH!

The Man from Philadelphia strikes again. Today I received a 2015 1099 form for $3050 from the foundation. Curiously, the foundation paid me nothing last year. They did pay me $3050 on July 9, 2014, but i never received a 1099 from the foundation in 2014.

I am not paying taxes on this money twice and i paid it last year. Just when you think you are out of danger, here he comes again.

I liked what I saw of "Grease" last night.

I thought it MUCH better than that made-for-TV mess from a number of years back that followed the auditons/eliminations process week after week.

The sets were cool, the music pretty well done (not always miked effectively). The vocals were good and the copycat performances were "expected" by the audience, I'm guessing. I don't hate Julieanne Hough and was happy to hear that she has more than just the helium voice she uses on DWTS. I thought her voice quite adequate for Sandy.

I'm not raving about it, but it was -- from what I saw in bits and pieces -- better than recent stuff done elsewhere on TV. LOVED RIZZO!!!!!!

I'm listening to the new CD of the new concert performance of the new show, "Merman's Apprentice." I have always loved Klea Blackhurst and she's still fabulous! So far, I really like it!

I'm trying to watch the Grease Live thing, but the computer keeps freezing, usually right after a commercial.

Who is the blond gal singing the opening number?
