Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not from Rio, and now it is time for you to post until the Rio cows come home.

Hi, George!  How are your pearls?  Did you have a good day?  I had an extremely lazy day.  It felt good!  Tomorrow the fam is going out to dinner for my brother and sister-in-laws 30th anniversary.  We're going to a place called Otium.  Don't know anything about it as my nephew found it.

Yesterday was a good day.  Work was boring (as usual), and the show went really well.  After the show, a bunch of us went to a local restaurant and hung out for a while.  I think the plan is to go out again after tonight's show. :)

Today, I might go in to work to make up a little time that I took this week because of going to my parents' house.  We'll see it I get myself out of bed to make it worth it.

T.O.D.

My favorite Kritzerland release?

All my 100+ CDs are (hopefully) arranged alphabetically, and off-hand, I don't recall which is a Kritzerland release and which is not.

However, I can assure you that there are many Kritzerland CDs in my collection.

Today is the first anniversary of the death of Pam Hollenbeck, one of my dearest friends for 49 and 2/3 years.  We met the summer of 1968 at Miami University Summer Theatre, where I was in the costume shop and she was handling tickets and publicity.  In September we were grad students, enduring good and bad classes, good and bad productions, the 1970 anti-war riots, and lots of parties, silliness, and playtime with the other grad assistants, her husband Paul and their Irish setter Brandywine.  She was a fantastic mother to four lovely girls, and I was godfather to her second child, Emily.  After graduation, she and Paul moved to Syracuse for his second degree in architecture before ending up in Toledo, where Paul's firm did really well and Pam stayed busy with liberal causes and education.

Paul's cousin is a retired actress who was in the film Serpico, and he was in Manhattan two weeks ago.  We met for a drink, talked over old times, and wept for Pam.  I asked him if he had thought about dating or remarrying.  He said, no, he had married the only girl he ever dated, and they had been very happy together.

Last night it was so warm in the apartment that I pulled the blankets down to the bottom of the bed and over the bed frame and slept under a sheet.  Thatch had quite a field day exploring the strange terrain of the bed's geography.  He was completely puzzled by the unfamiliar territory.

I may be going in to City Center, so I must tidy up and patrol with Annabelle before I leave.

Snow!

Okay, not much more than a dusting. But the ground is covered again, following a couple weeks of off-and-on thawing which had it almost gone.

FORTUNATELY, ladies and gentlemen, it only stuck to the ground, not the pavements. Yay!!!

DR Elmore, a lovely tribute to your friend.

A very nice obit, too.

We must never forget to treasure the good people in our lives.

I had one annoying and repeating dream in which I was figuring out how to add this little one- or two-measure phrase to the end of a section in one of the songs in SHREK.

Tom, are most of the condos you are looking at larger, or about the same size as your apartment?

A tough TOD. The collection is large, and favorites, as with anything in life, change around from time to time. So I shall simply imagine that I have to board the ship for the proverbial desert island - TODAY - and I must quickly choose the Kritzerland items that will go with me.

(This assumes, of course, that I ALSO get to choose movies, recordings, books, scores, etc., from other sources as well. Which means I'm going to need a bigger boat. And probably a larger piece of real estate on the island.)

The Crucible
Porgy and Bess
The Brain From Planet X
Une chambre en ville
Evening Primrose
And the World Goes Round
This Christmas
Jeepers Creepers
Follies
Carnival
Promises, Promises
Black Sunday
Carrie
Lady in a Cage
When a Stranger Calls
The Trial
Earth vs. the Spider

The First Nudie Musical (Blu-ray)
