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

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Topic of the Day:  I haven't really seen many Hitchcock films, so I can't say I know from "Hitchcockian." ::)

From Rodzinsky:

Quote
Vixmom and Jane. Because my wife was born in Canada we can as long as the school has room, though it costs like 6-8k per child per year. Still could if my wife was not born there, but would need special permits and such.

I read past elementary school the kids continue in Blaine.  How close are the Canadians schools to you and do other children from your neighborhood  also attend?

As Vixmom said, congrats on being able to do this.  I gather you are also pleased with the level of education.

To continue from last night:  while looking through literally ALL but one of the boxes in my storage unit, I did manage to find a couple of other items that I really wanted to find and hadn't looked for in a long time (actually, since before I moved into my place more than 16 years ago ::) ).  One was "The Hansen Treasury of Stephen Sondheim Songs."  It's a songbook that was published right after Follies, because there are no songs form A Little Night Music.  The interesting thing is that in the song "Broadway Baby," there's an extra stanza that as far as I know has never been recorded, and it wasn't even referenced in "Finishing the Hat," Sondheim's first book of lyrics:

Say, Mister producer,
Some girls get the breaks.
Just give me my cue, sir.
I've got what it takes.


Say, Mister Producer,
I'm talkin' to you, sir.
I don't need a lot,
Only what I got,
Plus a tube of grease-paint and a follow spot!

The other item that I was looking for was the 1938 published script to The Cradle Will Rock, by Marc Blitzstein.

What's cool about this is that the music for several songs (but not all) are printed in the book:

What's also cool is that this publication is listed on Amazon...from $50 to $650!

My copy is is a former library copy and not in very good condition, so I don't think it's worth very much, but I think it's cool, and that's all that matters. :)

I know others who have complained about "liking" too many posts and then had the same thing happen to them.

DR George, check out "Ah, Paris!" in that Hansen collection. If I remember correctly, it has a different verse and other oddities.

I own that Hansen book of Sondheim. I have no idea where it is at the moment, however.

Well, I did not sleep badly, but the morning - all sixty minutes of it - has had several missteps that make me pray to God that I'm not having a stroke or the calamities will not continue throughout the day.

DR Jrand72, thanks for mentioning the CBS tribute to The Young and the Restless last evening. I enjoyed it. I got hooked on the show when my dad was ill in 2006 because my sister-in-law JoAnn watched it.
