That 1955 short "The Twelfth Day of Christmas" has never been released on DVD, and I think it should be.

I have a small wastepaper basket in the bathroom.  I emptied it this morning and now it's become one of Stella's sleeping places.

I cannot find an eBook version of Journey to Christmas.


I couldn't, either. I was fortunate to find a very inexpensive used copy.

Since it's long out of print, would sending Jane a photocopy be violating copyright?

We watched the 2016 Roundabout She Loves Me the other day. There were parts that I liked, but I was kind of appalled at how they "tarted up" the chorus scenes (the restaurant and the Christmas shopping). And while I love love love Laura Benanti, she seemed vocally just a mite uncomfortable singing that role, which just lies so high.

I have to remember to STOP eating when I am no longer hungry.....when I was little, I thought the only reason to stop eating was when all the food was gone.

Yup.  I also need to remember to stop eating BEFORE I get sick, not after.  While they can be, they aren't necessarily the same thing.

I suspect the artwork is lovely to look at.  Is the artist the same one that did the beautiful cover to Greenwillow?

Good Afternoon.  Been to work, now i'm home finishing up work.  Kind of an uneventful day.  I'm ok with that.

I love pizza, but I don't eat it often because of the bread content.  I'll buy gluten free pizza sometime and I don't feel as guilty if I eat more than 1/2 of it.  Or all of it.

Picked up packages, including a screener of the George Clooney movie, had a frozen Marie Callender's dinner, having a bagel, and then it's back to work.

DR Jane I also had a lady with a big dog tell me that her dog was super friendly. I guess she saw that I moved every time I saw her. I wanted to say that I am moving away from her not her dog.

If someone is afraid of your dog, pandemic or not, their personal fear is real.  The is no reason for anyone to believe a stranger who tells them the dog is friendly  We know people either are clueless or simply say what they want to be the truth vs the actual truth.

Does anyone know anything about this?  It's supposed to be released in April, and will cost $135.00!

My stomach is just in knots about Georgia.  I know I can't do anything about it at this point.

I am no worse than I have been.  Wait, that is because I have been so bad I went back on the scary stomach medication.  I needed to be able to function.

After my last break it took me almost a year to get off of the stuff.  I really did not want to go back on it :(

DR TCB I have been thinking about you and hoping you got the oxygen, medication, whatever you need to help you.

BK, I wish you had directed the Zoom version of Two by Two and that Hartley had done the sound. The score in context was more effective than it is on the album. But the sound quality was atrocious. One duet had no volume from the male actor at all. But it also meandered. This isn’t a top shelf show, largely because the book is too wordy and the whole thing should be more musical.
