That's better. The first image I used of six snow shovels was humongous.

This one also looks nicer.

BK, will you share any memories of working with her?

We had two chilis today. The one that didn’t taste like chili took fourth place. The one that tasted like chili didn’t win anything.

That's too bad. $:-\$

One chili I tasted was so sweet I couldn’t eat it. It had that chemical aftertaste that saccharine leaves.

WTH??

And did you portion it out and serve it in upturned handbells?

I like that serving idea. We had bowls. Actually, a few brought sectioned plates, which somehow managed to piss off one of the organizers. It was rather funny.

You should take a muffin tin.

Did they serve Oliver Twist lobster gruel?

Gruel and unusual punishment.

My dear Rita. Had no idea she was my age - yes, I'll share memories in the notes. She was great and very supportive. And Ben - who I adored. Every time Ilene would do Kritzerland he'd accompany her. Of course, Nikka, their daughter, is in the Psycho episode of Outside the Box.

Performance 2 of Corpus Evita is done. The composer said that he liked this production a hundred times better than the original staging. We got a rave review from a local blogger that mentioned the chorus a lot, calling us "resoundingly melodic." I'll let you know if any good video clips get posted. Maybe even one of the scenes with all the B-flats.

The one time I participated in a chili cook-off we discovered that the key was bribing the judges. The winners in that contest weren't that good either.

Great bit from The Wharton Project. A woman is talking about getting her portrait painted. Edith Wharton thinks to herself: One edition of Mamie Updike’s face was all the world needed. It required no more.

A traveling company could do Wharton at the seaside. They could call it Wharton on the Wharf.

singdaw · « **Reply #177 on:** February 18, 2024, 07:06:06 PM »

Surely that would sell tickets.

singdaw · « **Reply #178 on:** February 18, 2024, 07:06:15 PM »

And don't call them Shirley.
