TOD:

I love all the mentions of Harper Valley PTA. And, yes, George, I loved the movie, too.

My top choices are two Cole Porter ditties:

The Tale of the Oyster
Miss Otis Regrets

I'm sure I'll think of more.

Tomorrow is the memorial service for my friend, Barbara, with whom I used to work at the newspaper. She would bake cakes for everyone's birthday, so someone had the nice idea that we should make cakes for after the service.

I just took my German chocolate pound cake out of the oven.

John G. · « **Reply #95 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:38:00 PM »

A little of it stuck to the pan, so I got to sneak a taste.

John G. · « **Reply #96 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:38:19 PM »

It earned my seal of approval.

John G. · « **Reply #97 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:38:43 PM »

It's make with a cake mix and the pecan-coconut frosting is baked into the cake.

John G. · « **Reply #98 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:39:02 PM »

It's apparently a Texas thing, like the original German chocolate cake.

Hello, 6 guests.

John G. · « **Reply #100 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:39:27 PM »

Come join the fun.

John G. · « **Reply #101 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:39:37 PM »

I won't make you wash dishes.

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:39:43 PM »

Promise.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:39:59 PM »

But I'll let you wash or dry, if you feel so inclined.

Dad seems to have enjoyed his first day at home, though he's a little confused about his medicine. I think Mom's going to have to take that over until the home health nurse starts. And I don't know when that is.

John G. · « **Reply #105 on:** May 16, 2016, 08:41:58 PM »

Work was a pain today. Glad it's over. But more fun is on the horizon for tomorrow.

87-year-old musician, who had been with an orchestra since her teens, died while the orchestra was performing "There's No Business Like Show Business." That's going out with style.

Jane, thanks for posting that article about the woman who was in Casablanca. Great story.

John G. · « **Reply #108 on:** May 16, 2016, 09:21:43 PM »

The only other story song I could think of was another Cole Porter:

Two Little Babes in the Wood

John G. · « **Reply #109 on:** May 16, 2016, 09:22:22 PM »

I'm going to have to call it a night.

John G. · « **Reply #110 on:** May 16, 2016, 09:22:30 PM »

Sleep well, y'all.

Barbra's touring! 9 cities, 10 concerts:

Sure, she could come to Washington DC for you, but you couldn't talk her into coming to Seattle!

Is anyone still watching CASTLE? We wonder why we are still watching, so it is not with regret that I say tonight will be the last episode.

I'm still watching, but I haven't seen the last couple of episodes. I'm kind of glad that it's ending now, and not continuing without Beckett. I can't believe that her contract wasn't renewed if they went into one more season!

They should never have cancelled FIREFLY.

Good evening!

TCB · « **Reply #115 on:** May 16, 2016, 10:07:04 PM »

If they had made it CASTLE INVESTIGATIONS I might have started watching again.

TCB · « **Reply #116 on:** May 16, 2016, 10:09:38 PM »

I was not a big Beckett fan.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** May 16, 2016, 10:10:16 PM »

But the show is now history.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** May 16, 2016, 10:10:47 PM »

Let's get off this page......... NOW!
