Five!

This is another of "those" days, I'm afraid.

Up early, had some coffee and learned that my cousin Debra, daughter of my recently deceased aunt, had to call an ambulance for her husband Saturday evening. The hospital has admitted him. Poor Rob has many problems, not the least of which has been a bout of bladder cancer. Today, however, they are assessing his liver functions.

He has been, to my mind, an "energizer bunny". I learn of all his ailments and hospital visits and radiation, etc., but every time I see him, he is on his feet and pleasant and non-complaining.

There was absolutely nothing for me to do except pray a little and offer to help when they need me.

And, of course, I fretted over it all day.

Getting older is a very mixed blessing. And the older I get, the harder it is to see the blessings for what they are because of the people you lose.

Sigh.

Morbidity finished.

Have spent some time seeing Sondheim tributes and remembrances.

I started to watch "tick...tick...boom" on Netflix but just could not stick with it beyond the first number (not a word of which I understood).

Will give it another go sometime.

DR George, I had the two Moderna shots and the Pfizer booster. I had mno bad reaction at all.

I had both Pfizer shots in April and March. And then the Pfizer booster plus flu shot on the same day in September.

One week after, I had one heck of a bout of something or other. Felt like flu. Lasted three days.

Sunday afternoon greetings! I am back from my college football marathon in which the Ohio team I was rooting FOR won (Cincinnati) and the one I was rooting AGAINST (Ohio State) lost to Michigan, 42-27. It was the sweetest Michigan victory over OSU since 1969, my sophomore year.

And to that I say "Hoo" and "Ray".

Speaking of funny.

I do love funny cat videos. I am especially amused by the ones with cats being spooked by cucumbers.

I wonder if Dr. Larry Moore's cats have issues with cucumbers.

John Archibald from castrecl had been wonderful as Santa in ELF in Hudson Florida (near tampa) holidays 2019. They combined the George Wendt and Adam Heller roles. (I think he was one of the few Equity people in that production.

John is also a frequent contributor at FilmScoreMonthly Messageboard.

Today I went with my friend Allison to see a film screening of the upcoming release Cyrano starring Peter Dinklage.

JohnG - Does Santa play another role as well in what you saw?

She is a member of this year’s SAG nomination committee and she had a plus 1 available for her invitation

That was considered pretty weak off-Broadway, and yet the movie seems to be riding on Oscar buzz for Peter Dinklage. What did you think?

It's been a slog trying to get this library video of Shirley to play all the way through. But I have made it past the halfway mark. It seems to be working oK now.

I really enjoyed it, where the play was stripped down and basically monochromatic, this is lush and lovely.

I'm going to give Mom's Springerle recipe a try next month. I'm not a great cookie baker, and these take time. They have to rest overnight before baking. But they are beautiful, and I hope to send her some.

The songs are all very much the same , although the singing was well done.

Peter Dinklage’s performance had me in tears several times

I'm shaving my Christmas card list down this year. Or at least I plan on shaving it down.

After the film Peter Dinklage (Cyrano) , Haley Bennett(Roxanne) and Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Christian) came out and did a Q&A with a moderator whose name I did not catch

It was a lovely afternoon

Then we went across the street and had barbecue for dinner

The actor who played Santa also played the mean boss.
