I am back home for -- count 'em -- three (3) hours before I re-gussy up and leave again for this evening's concert.

Vixmom, what a joy, the report of your first lunch hour!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #62 on:** December 17, 2018, 10:47:40 AM »

So BK is doing The Man Who Came to Dinner? That's great news. I love that play. And I love the movie, which I just happen to have watched via my recently DVR'd TCM broadcast.

One of our best local theaters did a smash-up production of it some years back. I'd like to get ahold of some videographic evidence of same. I don't know if it actually exists, but I shall ask around.

Good morning. (I still have five minutes, Arizona time.)

Vixmom, I am so happy for your first-day report.

Visitor has come and gone and picked up what he was picking up.

Having tuna sandwiches for lunch.

Just so you know:

There's too much happening at the outset of the week for you to get a handle on anything. Sometimes being busy is fun, but you're a little too busy for your own good. Sink a needle into all the madness and let the tension out. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are productive but pleasant -- as fine a time as ever to chart plans and discuss ideas (and, if you have spare time, to tidy up). Shopping figures into your day on Friday -- shopping for something with a partner, likely -- and Saturday has you thinking about money. Sunday, your intellectual curiosity may lead you to the library.

Now I want a tuna sandwich and a Rice Krispie Treat....

WalMart has a nice BIGGER tv for a very good price.....but I have five televisions, and nobody in my family needs one....so should I buy one that has a 5" larger diagonally screen? I am torn.....if I really wanted to pass, it wouldn't be on my mind....we shall see what we shall see....as the week goes on.

Ya think?? This will be the week of NO TIME for me!! I have my show rehearsing every night this week, AND we open and close this weekend, AND at work I have to make sure that the end of year invoicing is done WHILE the finance office is getting new accounting software, AND I have to pay invoices and get our budget down to as close to zero as I can, AND THEN do the fiscal year roll-over with no time because I have performances ALL WEEKEND!

Oh, my! I first read that as, "Now, I want a tuna Rice Krispie Treat...."

It is after 5pm. Does that mean that DR Vixmom is finished work? Hope you had a great day!

Hopefully, by the end of the week, I will be caught up with my 2018 bills. I will have no money for such extraneous items as gifts or food so I'm having a Bleak Christmas. I must admit a miracle of some sort would be really nice.

I’m not caught up. I doubt I ever will be.

I love the wicked Noel Coward spoof that Cole Porter wrote for the original production:

Shall I see the parsleyed prince
Scattered and shattered to bits?

Watching the coming attractions before we saw A STAR IS BORN, I kept thinking - who is making the choices to MAKE these things?

Some movie with Kevin Hart - who makes me laugh - and Bryan Cranston - an actor whose message I DO NOT GET AT ALL - Hart is hired to care for Cranston, a parapeplegic....I think Nicole Kidman is in this as well....

Mary Queen of Scots - in which Mary who was raised in the French court as a Scottish accent....maybe so we can tell the cookie cutter actresses apart....

Some girl gets hit on the head and her life becomes a romantic comedy - with Rebel Wilson...

...and something else I can't even remember....

The Kevin Hart movies sounds like remake of a French film that BK and I liked way back when called The Intouchables. Do not see a remake. The original is too good to miss.

I went to another Christmas market today. This one in Wurzburg and with my Uncle Herman, who talks a mile a minute. Somehow I managed to understand him most of the time and we had fun. I ate a pickled herring sandwich was very happy.

The stress is manageable. The beer is a help.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** December 17, 2018, 02:57:43 PM »

I guess you could say I’m beer-lingual.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** December 17, 2018, 02:58:39 PM »

My sister and I have had a bit of ouzo, too, which certainly helps in its way.

Just my 2¢.

It is all mind boggling. Keith was shocked when I told him about Tom not getting an invite for dinner. Of course he has also heard of some of the other ridiculous stories. He also wondered if it is because of the age difference, not that that should matter.

Shall we respond to the TOD as DR Jrand did, books we read vs books that were published this year?

My list has the books that I read this year.
