Well, you've read the notes, you know all about the eleven pipers and their piping, and now it is time for you to post until the perfectly coiffed cows come home to show off their new "do"s.

Holly the Zaftig Sharpei is recovering nicely from her surgery. She had her staples removed a week ago, and is on antibiotics, but I think she will be fine. She is walking much better. Although when she gets up this morning, like another Hoosier doggie mentioned yesterday, I am not sure she will like all the H I G H snow.

I took a picture but it didn't come out very well, maybe I will take another after daylight. We have probably 7 or 8 inches of the lovely white stuff and it is still coming down and blowing around.

Hmmmmmmmmm.....a gift from the past....hmmmmmmmmm.

I think that I would like to go back to October, 1957, at the launch party for Ayn Rand's ATLAS SHRUGGED and get a couple of signed copies of the novel. I have a first edition - not in good shape - but it is of course not signed. Would like to have been at the party to hear her talk about the book and meet all her friends.

I just read the most astonishing thing: My pal Rupert Holmes has been signed to rewrite the book for the unproduced Kander and Ebb musical, Curtains. Until two weeks ago, I had never heard of Curtains, which apparently is a murder mystery musical that takes place during the tryout of a new musical. For those who've read the final page of Writer's Block, they will understand the supreme irony of this news. Happily, Writer's Block is out, being read (and enjoyed, from what I've heard), and life goes on.

Mr BK - your news is indeed ironic to a couple of us.

DR HISAKA thank you for the Indianapolis 500 photograph. Very interesting.

In what part of Indy do you live? We are at 13 or 14 inches here in southwestern Hancock county. I just shoveled the walk and it was no easy job.

Good exercise though.

I had to resort to carrying Peaches outside to a place where the snow had all blown away and wasn't as deep. I have never had a dog that is more of a chicken than Peaches. We used to have a miniature doxin who would love to get herself lost in the snow.

LOL Joey.....I finally had to carry Holly outside and down the steps, too.

I live in Mooresville which is about 14 miles west of Indy on I-70, in Morgan County.

DR JOEY both Hancock and Morgan counties are under a Snow Emergency Order....necessary travel only....travel at your own risk. Yikes!

Does it also mean that Mr. Holmes also will rewrite the songs? Because with book rewrites there will also be lyric rewrite and the need for new songs. Once the show goes into rehersals (if it gets that far) more changes will probably be needed. Will Mr. Holmes take on this task as well? Will Kander work without Ebb?

Kander and Ebb work on this show for over a decade (at least) and as far as I know it never even a production anywhere. Just because Ebb passed away doesn't mean the show should be produced. He was never known as book writer Chicago & 70 Girls 70 were his only credited book credits. The former is more known as Fosse show and the latter was a quick flop and was later rewritten by another author. Ebb was a good special material writer for people like Minnelli & McLaine.

I understand why Mr. Holmes was chosen his musical and plays (some successful some not) are The Mystery of Edwin Drood aka Drood, Accomplice, Solitary Confinement, Thumbs.

I would be interested to see what the final outcome will be if it ever gets that far.

Maybe it would be better if the show was just recorded and leave it at that.

Hanging on, DR! There's a cold settling between my nose and larynx. I've had a fuzzy throat for around three days now, and the damned ear infection doesn't want to go away. I have several thngs to purchase this morning, and that's the end of the Christmas rush.

I look forward to learning what it is you are working on.

Happy Birthday to DR WFO.

DR Joey: another wonderful young Lansbury performance is her "Sibyl Vane" in THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY. It is also a wonderful film, with the stunning Hurd Hatfield and George Sanders. In it, Miss Lansbury is dubbed by -- IIRC -- none other than Andy Williams. (She has one little number, done in a seedy London pub....)

Speaking of doggie problems, I saw my aunt's dog Coco on Sunday. She is doing better. She walks around by herself. However one of her back legs is still very tender. And it shakes and twitches. Coco has blankets and "beds" taking up one third of the bedroom floor. And she sleeps there a lot.

I'm still tired -- going back to bed for 15 minutes. MUST be up at 7. Otherwise the day will get away from me.
