Thank you Laura, Jennifer, and Kevin.

[Jane]

I can't remember -- do any of us have grandchildren?

Not having any is why we travel so much.

[Jane]

The horrible fire in Bel-Air was not intentional.   It was started by illegal cooking at a homeless encampment

[Ginny]

Belated Happy Birthday to DR Ginny!  Sorry I missed your special day!

Thank you, DR KevinH!

[bk]

Not intentional - just stupid

[Jane]

Yup.

I just finished watching The Young Visiters or Mr Salteena's Plan, which I really enjoyed for its clever and successful mix of sophistication and naïveté.  The BBC adaptation adroitly juggles 9 year-old Daisy Ashford's Victorian novel of romance and social status along with her spelling errors (Blackfriers and the Prince of Whales are quite prominently on display) and a look at the adult world through a child's eyes.  It has wonderful humor, several surreal moments, vivid color, and a terrific, very game cast. 

I laughed at much of it and wept at the end.  We often don't end up with the one we wanted, as Mr Salteena learns.

Not to get political (well, I will for just a moment), but Doug Jones has won Alabama's special Senate election.  It was pretty close...49.5% to 48.8%.  They said that he's the first Democrat in two decades to do so.

[elmore3003]

Roy Moore lost the election.  Screw you, Donald!

[elmore3003]

I'm glad it's over.  There's one more senator voting against the GOP asses so i'm very happy at the moment.

[George]

Roy Moore lost the election.  Screw you, Donald!

Don't hold back, Larry!  Tell us how you REALLY feel!

[George]

And now, I need to leave work and go home, so I will.

Be back later.

[John G.]

We got our first big snowstorm of the season today.

You mean we in San Antonio beat you? How strange is that?

[John G.]

It has been a long, long day. Just back from Austin. Had a great time catching up with my friend Deborah after work. She's going to start making a documentary of a band named 8 1/2 Souvenirs. So, we went to see them after dinner. Fun group. I think they called it gypsy swing. A few of the oldies they do are Bei Mir Bist Du Shoen and It's Alright With Me. They also do bossa nova, Italian pop songs from the '50s and '60s, and just crazy, feel-good tunes.

[John G.]

Here's one of their songs, Happy Feet:

Roy Moore lost the election.  Screw you, Donald!

Don't hold back, Larry!  Tell us how you REALLY feel!

DR George, you know me better than that!  Have I ever held back?

[John G.]

Roy Moore lost the election.  Screw you, Donald!

Don't hold back, Larry!  Tell us how you REALLY feel!

DR George, you know me better than that!  Have I ever held back?

Why hold back? It's a cause for celebration.

Thanks, George!  7 of the 10 performers are cast, which is actually not a bad percentage with four weeks before rehearsals - but hoping good folks will appear for the other 3.

[John G.]

I passed the info on, Fred, to a friend in NYC who might know some people.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

Back from the airport. Mom is delivered home. Safe and sound

Here's one of their songs, Happy Feet:

That's great!  There are a couple of local groups that play similar styles of music:  Pearl Django (from Seattle) and Hot Club Sandwich, who are from Olympia!  They're both very good!

I agree!
