Today I baked Christmas cookies and wrapped presents.  It’s been nice to be busy with tasks that aren’t about moving.

Do UK websites use biscuits instead of cookies?

White Christmas was wonderful. What’s wrong with the movie is still wrong. The Mandy number is a garish excess of immense proportions, the script is preposterous, and Rosemary Clooney looks like she could overpower the twink midgets surrounding her in her big solo. Yet I love Vera-Ellen every moment she’s on screen. And the Irving Berlin songs are largely perfect ear candy.

New driver's license arrived and the good news is the expiry date is five years away.

Very good news!

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.

I think in previous years they've had 500-600 attendees, but tonight, almost the entire 1008 seat house is filled!

Of course, it's a free concert, but still, who knew SO many people would want to experience it this year!

My friend Joseph Weiss has died. Emily Loesser had told me two weeks ago that he was in serious condition at Belleview Hospital following a stroke. I had met him early in my Drama Book Shop days, and he brought me in to work for Frank Loesser Enterprises and Jo Loesser. I will miss him.

I'm so sorry, Larry. :(

I think this past week or month has been rife with near-meltdowns for many — I can certainly testify on behalf of myself and people in my sphere of travel that such is the case — and I send vibes of peace and comfort to all.

I wonder how the stage version compares...if that fixed what's wrong.

So, tomorrow I repeat the process of the morning and evening concerts. The final one is Wednesday evening, which will seem like a vacation after these two days. BUT… no more damned storms!

So even though I’ll be getting up at dawn’s crack again, the morrow will be relaxing in comparison with the living hell of this morning — which already feels sufficiently long enough ago to have been yesterday.
