Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a small divertissement, and now it is time for you to post until the small cows come home.

The show was TIC TAC DOUGH.  The host was Wink Martindale.  The big winner was Thom McKee.  I got everyfact wrong except the show was on TV.

I don't go looking for them, but I do enjoy watching them when you post about them.

I have no plans today.  That'll be nice.  But now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

It got quite chilly last night. Around 3:00 Abbavekke crawled under the blankets and moved al;l the way down to ny feet, where she nestled in the curve of my foot and ankle.  Stella and Thatch are happier on top of the blankets, but they get as close as possible.

I had a long dream involving friend and foe at Goodspeed. I was working on a show there, but I no longer had my office, and I moved from space to space, only to be evicted from each as I complained that I had nowhere to work.

I will spend most of the day on the Evan Hansen song. I've passed the halfway point.

I used to love The Joker's Wild gameshow, but it was on weekday mornings. I'd watch when I was home from school sick.

TOD:

I’d like to see a video of the New York theater district during 1959, when shows like Gypsy, Destry, Take Me Along, The Nervous Set, Sound of Music and Fiorello were playing.

I liked the video in the notes and of course the notes. 

A drive by video of my hometown around 1957 would be nice.

Sometimes I use Google to take a drive down the different places I have lived, but most of them are unrecognizable.

DR JOHN G I wrote something wrong last week.

Luka Garza in not playing for San Antonio.  He is playing for the Detroit Pistons of the NBA....I think that is the name of the team....I'm not sure why he would want to go there - or you have to go where you're drafted.

ANYWAY - human pill and drama queen Joe Weiskamp who played at IOWA with Garza and spent most of his time on the sidelines riding a stationary bike and sipping on a water bottle realized that without Garza his college career was over so left a year early and HE is playing for San Antonio....

My guess is that IOWA who was in the playoffs last year.....and the team which consists of the Coach McCaffrey's two sons - who did everything they could to keep the ball away from Luka last year so they could miss shots themselves - and a few other misfits will have a pretty bad season with Luka gone.....

I remember Tom Kennedy hosting a show called You Don't Say....it was a kind of a word rebus clue game.....where the contestants said sentences trying to get their partner to say a word....and then put the words together to make a celebrity's name.
