DR slingstraw, I hope your healing is proceeding apace.

I think you should make sure there is ice cream in your freezer to get you through the long weekend.

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.

Christmas Eve falls on Sunday this year, so there will be plenty of time spent in church, both morning, afternoon, and evening that day.

Thank you, and a sound plan, indeed.

I loved the Nutcracker. I started with the Ansermet recording on London which is still a favorite, a second favorite being Arthur Fiedler’s excerpted version.

Kapp Records recorded the complete Nutcracker with Robert Irving and the New York City Ballet Orchestra. That's never deen issued on CD, dammit! I had this and the complete Mercury recording with Antal Dorati and the Minneapolis Symphony, which was the first complete recording of the score.

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what does ice cream do?

And I repeat my recommendation about the mashed potatoes.  You can buy those packs of instant what taste really good...and they have different flavors so you don't get too bored with them.

At any rate, that is how i have gotten through phases of eating only squishy foods.

TOD - a quick, full-price, no-strings-attached offer on our old house that proceeds to a smooth closing early in 2024.

Good luck! I prayed for 15 years for a speedy sale for that damned Ohio property.

You had a hiccup on the selling side, though, didn't you?

Interesting, DR elmore3003.

Apple Music has the recording with David Zinman and that orchestra, but not the one with Robert Irving.

I forgot about the Dorati. Shame on me. Of course! And thank you for the reminder about that NYC one!

How about a magic ticket that gets me the best seat in the house to any play or musical I care to see….that never expires and never runs out

That's such a fun wish!

I would love to travel to Europe again.  Take a river cruise up the Danube.

Ride on the Orient Express from originating point to terminating point.

To sail the Greek Islands.

Revisit Turkey and see Ephesus.

Visit England and get a really solid tour of historical sites as well as doing some investigating of ancestry (English/Scottish/Irish and Welsh).  Yep, I'm a hyrid.  Plus a little Norwegian.
