Except when your foreign neighbor Keith received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from feisty caffeinated weightlifters.

Weird.

Someone has posted the entire Cameron Mackintosh Sondheim tribute concert online:

There are, of course <ahem> other sources, as well. ::)

In fact I sent several DRs that concert yesterday via We Transfer. Did no one receive it?

Yes, I <ahem> did. :D Thanks, Larry!

DR George, please let your niece know that Hallmark is looking for extras in a forthcoming Christmas movie filming:
https://www.wral.com/extras-sought-for-hallmark-christmas-movie-filming-at-biltmore/20649508/?fbclid=IwAR3y3qbDpSwW3bew1f9YSaaqiNOU1afZdpuP8CvmckfKvSOUH54EtAs0aI4

That would be so cool...but there's no way she could get to North Carolina. :-\

I enjoyed that production. I do wish they said who the singers were. Elmore, the list you sent only covered the first half.

I’m starting a French film from France. Something called Carrottop from the 1930s.

I also think it's kind of unfair that you lose the holiday.

We don't lose it...at least, not the time.  If a holiday lands on a day that someone doesn't normally work, we have the option to add the time to our vacation amount, or get paid for those hours.  Since I have too much vacation time already, I'm going to get paid for it.

I (MOST fortunately) was at least awake, so I rushed myself into the shower, quickly got dressed, then (safely) rushed myself to work just in time to realize that I forgot my key card! ::)

I am shocked you had time for a shower.

It was short, but thorough enough.

DR George how did you not know you had work today?  Don't they usually notify you of your days off?

I remember seeing the "observed" holiday in my Outlook calendar and assumed that that meant that WE had the day off.  I was wrong.
