The Seahawk game did not improve in the second act, unless you were rooting for L.A.

Time to rustle up some dinner.

I have some audio samples now - they'll go up tomorrow, but they were hastily done and are not anywhere near what the final mixes will be - but it will at least give people an idea of what the songs are like.

Right on the nose, Laura, he bears the scar, the cockatoo had to find alternate living arrangements

As I was sitting at the computer tonight, Thatch actually walked past me several times brushing against my leg and letting me pat his body. Then, later when I passed him in the kitchen, he ran in terror.

While I have no urge to see the musical version of A Christmas Story, I remain a huge fan of the film, which captures much of my memories of midwestern winters and Christmas in the late 1940s.

A person on Cast Recording List just put down the film, along with the musical, because his superior literate East Coast adolescence was nothing like the events in the film.

Same. I had it on while DVRing it, and except for a couple of songs I thought reasonably clever or inspired, I was uninterested in the music.

But — a thousand times yes to the film as DR Elmore observes. Not only the midwestern memories and the feel that were so perfectly captured, but my beloved Cleveland and Higbee’s and other settings blow me away. We didn’t know how good we had it, and how soon it would all begin disappearing.

My grandfather died when I had just turned three, and I remember leaving the visitation at the McCoy-Leffler Funeral Home with my parents around 8:00pm on a cold December night. The Christmas lights and decorations on Broad Street sparkled in the crisp frozen air, reflected in the ice on the streets. Whenever I see the film of "A Christmas Story" the film's reality of that period of time seems frozen to that night on Broad Street as if I could step back into my childhood of nearly seventy years ago.

Didn't eat very much, so I must rustle up something here. Maybe some tuna without bread.

And now, I'm off to usher for "The Nutcracker."

Be back later.

The test of a good production is how they handle the growing Christmas tree.

I didn't go in to watch, so I don't know how either production handled it.

I'm not a fan of the new opening number sung during the opening credits.

Completely different from the rest of everything.

John, the biggest idiot and bag of wind on Cast Recording List, just put down the film, along with the musical, because the Miss Crabapple's girls' finishing school he attended was nothing like the events in the film.

I had a bootleg of the original cast in New York. Didn't care for it at all. Not because it was or wasn't the movie. It was just a lousy show. But sometimes another medium can make some material seem better. From the catty Facebook comments, I doubt this is the case, still I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Went out to dinner with friends tonight. Nice and quiet. She had quadruple bypass surgery earlier this year. He has been rather housebound taking care of her. She's now almost totally in the clear, so it was nice to get her out and let him have a chance to talk. He used to be much higher up at the same company that I work for and it still means a great deal to him. So, I let him go on. And they both enjoyed the Italian place I picked out.

Back to watching Dickensian. I'm running both hot and cold on the series. I'm up to episode 12 of 20.
