Looking forward to Eubie!

For fans of the music, check out the book Reminiscing with Sissle and Blake. The photos alone make it invaluable, but their story is also great to read.

The visiting nurse has come and gone. Some moron called from Time warner and i still have no idea what he was rambling about.  Asked me if my DVR was working.  Well, duh, dumbass, why do you think I have an appointment tomorrow at noon?

I'm up, I'm up - why is anyone's guess.  I couldn't fall asleep until after three and then I woke up about ten minutes ago - why is anyone's guess.  Not sure I'll go try to get another two hours, we'll see.

I had the same problem.  Was not sleepy when I went to bed at 10:30 p.m.   By midnight, I was back in the living room sitting in my chair playing computer games.  Was not one bit sleepy.  Also, my left nostril was clogged and my C-PAP wasn't any fun when the air was being blocked.

It wasn't until around 3 a.m. that I finally drifted off (and my nostril had UN-clogged and my C-PAP functioned perfectly).

Woke up at 5:50 a.m. and thought about staying home.  Decided against it, got up and started making up the bed and that's when the power shut down.

Sigh.

I watched "The Slipper and the Rose" on TCM yesterday evening.

Some beautiful music in that film.

I know some of you find it hilarious and others of you hold it in disdain, but we haven't had a nice dose of scatological humor around these parts in some time.

To that end, I offer:

I forgot to mention the "Bugsy" Siegel killing.

That's was always fascinating and, of course, I've written about it several times...particularly after one of my neighbors confessed to me that he'd done it.

It's been years since I've seen that, but I find it most protocoligorically correct and beautiful.

Now I'm on to Among the Mad, #6 in Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series.  It's narrated by Orlagh Cassidy, one of my favorite audiobook readers.

I'd cut "Position and Positioning" and the song Cinderella sings near the end (in a swing).
