When my mom (who is from Germany) was growing up, she never ate corn.  Corn, she said, was cow food and people didn't eat cow food.  It wasn't until she had grown up, gotten married (to my dad) and moved to the States that she ate corn for the first time.  Wasn't that an interesting story? ;D
A-maize-ing.

Just got through with last Saturday's posts, and I want to wish a much belated but hearty birthday greeting to DR td.

I'm sorry I was not on the forum and missed your actual birthdate. Hope you had a great day, and it's always nice to see you here.

It's almost 9:00 p.m. and I should probably go home (I'm still at work).  So, see ya laters, ally-gaters!

That was a great photograph on Saturday of Sammy Williams, Kevin Chamberlin, and David Engel, three of my very favorite performers.

Well... It's been a long day for me today, and tomorrow is our "early" day.  And tomorrow night is the first night of the second series of Late Night Cabarets.  So...

Goodnight.

Did Van say anything about that memorable episode of THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW he guest starred on? I've always loved "No Rice at My Wedding."

So that's what it takes to get der B back into posting!

I was going through yesterday's posts, picking up a few quotes and putting them on a Word sheet, including DR TCB's remarks about TBITB.  Der B insisted that I get away from the computer, so that we could take puppy pics before I headed in to work today.  (That's Snowball, the four-month-old Lab pup, in my arms in der B's post.  Oh, heck, let's repost it here!



(At least one of us is cute!)

So, while I'm off at work, der B reads what I've got in the Word doc, and decides he's got to have his say again!

And he's already back in fine form, doing his research!

I can't think of a better group of people for him to be hanging with.

The bad news is that der B will be absent again, for a day or two.  He's off with the grandlads, helping them survive a cubscout overnight campout.  Which means that I'll be all by my lonesome tomorrow night, with six (count 'em) six dogs crowding my bed.

His birthday, by the way, was something of a non-event.  He was off ladsitting again, and didn't get back home until late.  The good news was that I was just as late getting home from work.  The bad news was that we didn't get dinner on the table (roast leg of lamb) until after eleven.

The duck is still on order.  The conclusion of that adventure will come later.

Me, I want sushi for my birthday dinner.

Did DerBrucer's daughter and the grandlads remember his birthday?

DR Matt H made an interesting comment yesterday.
Quote
One thing I have been meaning to talk about had to do with watching those Tony tapes at the Museum of TV & Radio.

The thing I noticed the most about the old shows is how dignified the audience was during the entire show. There was no shouting, hooting, or even applause as the names of nominees were read, and I thought the entire thing was just SO classy.
I sincerely believe that the decision to move the show from a rotation of Broadway theaters to the Radio City Music Hall has hurt the Tonys.  RCMH is far too large for the event; the stage dwarfs any stage production intended for a Broadway stage, resulting in the performers having to scream out their performances to get any sense of being heard.  It also results in having far too large an audience able to get seats for the show, causing the lack of decorum that you note.

Rosie O'Donnell is to blame, I believe.  She insisted on locating the show there when she was it's host, and they haven't had the guts to lose the revenue the ticket sales bring in to leave the venue.  There are more tragic things that have happened over the years, of course, but it's still sad.

Der B's daughter and grandlads remembered the birthday, but just barely.  The lads fingerpainted a birthday card for him while they were at daycare, before der B picked them up.  He suspects his daughter remembered the date at the last moment, and alerted the daycare people.

While he said it didn't matter, I think it should have, at least to the lads.  It would have been fun for them if they could have planned some sort of celebration, of their own creation.

Many thanks to everyone who gave me the best wishes on my promotion.

DR FJL, I believe you will get a God status quite faster than I did.

Back from dinner and MOBY with my friend. A good time was had by all.

I came home to a loverly gift on my kitchen table - a box full of CDs featuring the one and only me! I'm listening to myself and cringing at the flat pitches, but overall I sound pretty darn OK, which I'm not really prone to admit. "If I Loved You" and "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'" sound pretty nice, actually, while I'm ashamed of myself on some of "Just In Time." I haven't heard the Herman stuff yet...

Thank you, DRs Kerry and MusicGuy, for the discs. My friends and family thank you, too. :)

Last night, I went to the concert of Toshiko Akiyoshi with my mother and we had a lovely evening.  Ms. Akiyoshi was still gorgeous and powerful and did a glamorous performance.  I prefered "Memory" from last night.  After the concert she graciously had a little signing party for the audiences. Since I didn’t know that in advance, I left my camera at home. What a shame!
