I'm up, I'm up - not really possible to sleep due to hammering and noise from these jerks building all over this neighborhood. Maybe seven hours of sleep.

My hubby and I had great friends over yesterday for dinner.

We served meatloaf, scalloped potatoes and mixed veggies. Our friends gave us Polish cheesecake to serve for desert. It was delicious.

A good time was had by all!!!

I wonder why we say thunder snow but not thunder rain.

Maybe because you rarely have thunder snow.

TOD:
One of the news stories that's made me the most angry was the morning radio jocks who were running a contest for who could drink the most water without peeing. A nurse who happened to be listening to the show called in and told the jocks that people could die from drinking too much water, but they ignored her and just joked, "Did everyone sign their release forms?" The contestants couldn't hear the broadcast from the room they were put in, and never got the warning. Sure enough a young woman died, orphaning her three young children. She was trying to win a Nintendo game box for her kids that only cost about $350.00. The radio jocks were fired, but frankly, I think they should be in prison. It was just such a ridiculous tragedy that was completely avoidable.

OMG that is horrible!

There's a "new" musical version of Roman Holiday with Cole Porter songs stuffed in. Sounds depressing.

I remember Porter writing songs about Paris, not Rome.

Many of the injustices that make me upset are done in the name of "justice." Defenses that are obviously made up lies and technicalities that free obviously guilty criminals....

Since knowing Cillaliz, I have come to understand that there are many innocent people who have been wrongfully convicted.

I had to get the crown removed from the tooth I broke several years ago and a new one put on. That was expensive.

From DR Ron:

Quote

I've read, on Facebook via The Masquers Club of Hollywood, that actor Peter Brown has died. This is not "official" as there was no link to an obituary. One of the members who knows Brown notified the club.

As of yesterday it is official

He passed away on Monday from Parkinson's.

I love Roma in the springtime
I love Roma in the fall
I love Roma
Oh why or why do I love Roma?

I've never heard of thunder snow. But then here in the PNW, we rarely have thunder of any kind, at all. $:-\$

I once read an article about a fraternity hazing where they had pledges drink a lot of water (instead of alcohol) and one pledge died, also.

I loved The Ghosts of Versailles when I saw it years ago on Live from the Met. Now, it seems that the Wolf Trap opera company is showing a video of its own production online for the next six months.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/style/wp/2016/03/22/new-opera-online-wolf-trap-opera-plunges-into-the-stream/?hpid=hp_hp-cards_hp-card-arts%3Ahomepage%2Fcard

This is not a Live from the Met-type production, according to the notes, but more cinematic. I'm looking forward to scraping some time together to watch it.

They plan on taping future productions, too.

The nudity isn't meant to titillate. But it's supposed to plant butts in seats. So, which is it?
