I’m ushering for a cheerleading competition. Little kids. Really little kids.

I haven't caught up yet today, so sorry if this is duplicate information, but as of today you can order 4 more free COVID test kits from the Feds:

DR Chas, did they show the trailer for The Man Who Knew to Much?  I just watched it and had forgotten Jimmy Stewart talks to the audience a little bit about filming the movie.

Day One is complete and went very smoothly.  Our furniture fits even better than I’d envisioned.  Tomorrow should be a much shorter day, but will really clutter the place up with boxes.

And we’re not yet on wi-fi, so I’m going to sign off to avoid usage fees on my cell phone.  Thanks for all the good vibes today!

Hi everyone!  Happy Thanksgiving week!   Finally able to come up for air.  It's been a busy 3 weeks.  I'm down to White Christmas in my show coffer at the moment - which is great.  The General needs some work and catching up to do.  We open December 1.  On top of that is the school Christmas program which is coming along, I think.  Try to stay ahead of the game as best as possible!

I am currently reading A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan.

Wow, just wow!

No, they usually show nothing but the movie at these events.

DR Matthew - glad you're holding it all together. Doing a show at the same time that your school programming comes to a climax takes a certain kind of guts.

Reading the book is far scarier than I expected it to be, especially comparing much of it to what is happening today.

“Long Before I Knew You” was first introduced to me on the seminal LP “The Four Aces Sing Hits From Broadway.” Great version. Then I watched the movie with my little sis.

Tonight we watched The Miracle Club, with Laura Linney, Kathy Bates, and Maggie Smith. It's not a great film, but it is entertaining.
