And finally (yay! the last one!), those stacked chairs are in the way, but that's the grill with a good 14 inches of snow on it (looks like even more due to the profile of the grill).

I finished my proofreading about 2:00 and spent the afternoon on the phone or reading.  My retired press agent friend, Bob Ullman, who's 95, called me to tell me how proud he was of me.  I hadn't spoken to him in four years, and I cannot let this time get by again.

Bob was the press agent for four Ethel Merman shows - Call Me Madam, Happy Hunting, Gypsy, and Hello Dolly! - and the 1964 revival of Boys From Syracuse, among many others.  When I spoke to him last, I sent him the CD set of Dearest Enemy.  I told him I'd send him Roberta, and he told me he saw Bob Hope, Lyda Roberti, Tamara, and the original cast in 1933.

That's a great story, Larry!

Okay, it's shower time.  And then it'll be food time.  And movie time.

You know what I mean.

And speaking of Bette Midler (she sort of used that line), Get a First Look at Bette Midler in Hello, Dolly!

I even managed to figure out a way to incorporate our old towel stand into my art corner as a place to hang my stencils.

Very clever Ginny :)

STATUS REPORT: 

Showered.  Peanut butter and jellied.

It's what appealed, and was delicious.  Will enjoy something else later.

I wish we had a heart emotion for this one.

The government opened three hours late today.  I was one of five who made it in to the office (out of about 18 or 19).  It was a very quiet day.  The streets were deserted.
