I thought it sounded familiar, but I looked and found I do not have Broadway’s Lost Treasures. I think I have something that includes parts of those. On Amazon I see three volumes on DVD.

Okay, here's what I have:  It's called "B'WAY - Broadway, The American Musical", and it's on three (3) Blu-ray Discs which certainly sounds like it would have to be a gold mine. However, I believe I only sampled it when I got it and found it kind of disappointing. I suspect it's similar but not as good as "Broadway's Lost Treasures".

I went out to feed the kitties this morning. They're slightly getting used to me. I was able to stand there and watch the Mama Cat eat from about four feet away while they ran in and out of the shed. One even started feeding on her while the mother ate. As long as I don't move, they'll ignore me -- unless we make eye contact. Then they get all shy and run back into the shed and hide.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  I've helped Fr. Richard get ready for and conduct morning prayer via Zoom for the church in Beavercreek.  Maybe he'll take me out for brunch on the way home.  Or not...

DR Vixmom, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom's mishap and the aftermath. 

The answer is YES, you can be tired and wired at the same time.  Take care...

Is this the Rick McKay set? I really liked it, but the beginning does take some time.

I remember seeing Strangelove in a crowded revival house, and it was a joy. I laughed like crazy. I think you need an audience for this one. It's funny, but I'm not laughing out loud as I did with a crowd to feed off of.

ChasSmith, what Coppola did you watch?

DIMENTIA 13, and I was just hitting the music cues. I have to watch it straight through because I only ever saw it once, maybe twice, and I don't remember much of it. As I recall, it's by no means one of the great thrillers, but it looks fun and atmospheric, has a nice cast, and I was starting to recognize some scenes which made me want to defamiliarize myself with it.

The POLITESSE of the general public has been tried during the pandemic to be sure.

Example from the Long Island Nuz this morning:

"Yesterday while we were waiting in line to get into the grocery store some woman claimed she was only going in to get her glasses fixed and the policeman let her in!  I'm sure she was going in to get ice cream and toilet paper."

Also talked with my Virginia based brother.  His friends brother in law is an orthopedic surgeon, I had completely forgotten, but he did my Dad’s shoulder replacement surgery about 10 or 12 years ago
