Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a bluebird of happiness in them, and now it is time for you to post until the bluebird of happiness allows the cows to come home.

And the word of the day is: BESPOKE!

Notes enmeshed. Bespoken.

Golly, we were two posts from our 10th page when BK pulled the plug on yesterday.

Good morning, friends.

My plug has not been pulled.

Did anyone have cream of rice for breakfast growing up?

Does anyone still have cream of rice for breakfast?

I wonder if the bluebird of happiness knows the titwlllow of despondence.

I had a terrible night of sleep. My left leg was in much discomfort, the room was too damned hot, and the woes go on and on.

I've been watching Season 5 of The Crown. Last night's simulation of the Bolshevick assassination of the Romanov family was more intense than I expected, but at least we were spared the brutality that was inflicted on the members of the royal family who were not killed by the bullets.

Today, a friend is bringing me a bootleg CD of the 2011 Ohio Light Opera production of Jubilee. I've aways been curious to hear exactly what the musical director did to my orchestrations since OLO always rescores their productions to fit their orchestra. So, with Jubilee, they cut the saxes, piano-celesta and guitar-banjo and added 2nd Flute, 2nd oboe, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and 2nd trombone. When the Cleveland reviewer gave my orchestrations a poor review, I was fit to be tied.

Is it OK to type "titwillow" on a family site?

Woes-be-gone vibes for Larry, and leg discomfort be gone, too.

Almost a Princess Winnifred the Woebegone reference in honor of the show Larry's working on.

Freddie · « **Reply #17 on:** December 30, 2023, 05:15:42 AM »

Princess Winnifred the Woebegone - another "Fred" that's better than the name Fred being associated with Fred Flintstone and Fred Mertz!

That sounds terrible, Larry!

Golly, we were two posts from our 10th page when BK pulled the plug on yesterday.

Then we should try to make it to page 10 today.

Freddie · « **Reply #20 on:** December 30, 2023, 05:19:15 AM »

And if we don't get to page 10, at last we can say we tried!

Freddie · « **Reply #21 on:** December 30, 2023, 05:20:14 AM »

It's not where you start, it's not where you finish, it's the journey along the way.

Hmm, that doesn't scan right.

Regarding BK's mention of Whitney Blake in the Notes -

Cissy Houston has said that she named her daughter Whitney Houston after Whitney Blake.

Freddie · « **Reply #23 on:** December 30, 2023, 05:29:00 AM »

That is confirmed on Whitney Blake's wikipedia page.

Good morning, all.

With this cold and the meds I take at night to get some sleep, it’s an adventure. I do sleep, but I wake up a bunch of times throughout the night. At least the cold meds keep the nose running and coughing somewhat under control. And when I’m sick, the worst part of the day is the getting up and getting moving - such as it is.

But this morning I feel that positive upswing we always look for, and I know I’m heading in the right direction.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #26 on:** December 30, 2023, 06:14:35 AM »

This has been a rough one, and more akin to the awful colds I’d get in my teens and twenties.

Freddie · « **Reply #27 on:** December 30, 2023, 06:14:42 AM »

That sounds like terrific health recovery news, Chas!

Freddie · « **Reply #28 on:** December 30, 2023, 06:38:51 AM »

Page 2 looks so close

Freddie · « **Reply #29 on:** December 30, 2023, 06:39:12 AM »

It would be a shame to not just get there
