I took photos of the cars all around -- showing no key marks and no flat tires or window cracks. And the front windows of the house, as well.

An enterprising young man with a snow shovel was walking down the street offering driveway and sidewalk clearing for $10.

We may get another inch of snow overnight, but I figured that would get me ahead of the game.....

So I have a cleared driveway and sidewalk and he has my $10.

Smart move.

Am I the last to hear that Marlon Brando had romantic relationships with both James Dean and Richard Pryor.

It seems anyone I've mentioned this to already knew.

You're not the last; I didn't know, either.

Nor did I.  Richard Pryor  :o

I knew about Richard Pryor and Wally Cox, but not Dean.

An enterprising young man with a snow shovel was walking down the street offering driveway and sidewalk clearing for $10.

We may get another inch of snow overnight, but I figured that would get me ahead of the game.....

So I have a cleared driveway and sidewalk and he has my $10.

I used to be very glad to see someone who would shovel for me, but one never knew when or IF anyone would come by.  One day after a heavy snow a young boy of 9 or 10 came by. Not only did he do my sidewalk, but I knew my neighbor needed help as well. The screen door to her kitchen opened out and she couldn't open it. Too much snow piled in front of the screen door. I took the boy down my little alleyway and asked if if he could climb the fence. "Sure." He scrambled over, I handed him the shovel, and he dug out my neighbor's door. Sometimes one has to be a bit creative.

Glad you took him up on it, Jack.


That's a nice story.

My mother used to arrange for me to shovel snow. I hated it. I might not have minded so much if the snow fell when it's 75 degrees out. But 70 degrees Fahrenheit is my freezing point.

Today we saw the tour of "Hello Dolly."

One of the Facebook musicals groups posted a review of the tour from your local paper, Laura. It was not a positive review. The writer seems to dislike both the show and Ms. Buckley.

Tonight's dancing was fun, but I got a sinus headache about 10 minutes into it and whenever I stopped dancing, the pain set it.

Grabbed a cup of decaf afterwards and even the tiny amount of caffeine seems to have started some healing.
