Wasn't "steak dinner" vs.  "State dinner" one of the Emily Litella mis-hearings?

Looks like the folks in Cincinnati have been getting it, too.

Indeed we have, DR ChasSmith!  My AAUW gathering was cancelled this morning, as was Mary Linda’s ballet teaching.  We’re all home, taking down Christmas trees.

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.

Back from stuff.  I did end up eating bacon and eggs over at Corky's.  Then I came home and I've done a total of four new pages.  So, there's a lot to do after the early dinner, but I shall do it.

I am home from The Girl With The Alkaline Eyes.  I thought the scenario fell apart around 3/4 into the piece, but my admiration for Chase Brock's staging, direction, and choreography, Eric Dietz's amazing score, and Rob Berman's expert handling of the score were quite wonderful.  I also should mention the fantastic scenery and lighting, which were major assetys to the wonderful production.

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.

While I was in the waiting room waiting for Vixdad's exam to be done a very well dressed lady with perfect hair came in and asked the receptionist why the exam room door was closed

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.
