I will order 4 medium pizzas from Papa John's to arrive when they do....or around then.....and I will make a pitcher of Barnabas Collins....our favorite libation.....

One bottle of fruit flavored wine, one half cup of watermelon vodka, and one jar of cranberry juice.....

And then we try to play cards which is pretty funny.....and maybe watch a movie or two.....

DR CHAS SMITH when the four of us get together ANYTHING can happen......

I like Jimmy Webb songs.....and the LP that MR BK mentioned by Richard Harris.....

Once on The Glen Campbell Show - the titular star sang "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" and Totie Fields played his wife who found a note from him telling her he was leaving.....and she started laughing and couldn't stop.....it was very funny..... I miss comediennes like Totie Fields.......

I have the songbook:

Too Many Songs by Tom Lehrer with Not Enough Drawings by Ronald Searle

And he's right...there are not enough drawings by Ronald Searle.

Down in the well. Well, well, well.

Speaking of well, well, well, The Manhattan Transfer covered this song:

Well Well Well

I think I’ve told this story before but I interviewed Jim Webb once by phone and he was very nice. Then I called him some time later for a quote and he raged out at me and hung up. He clearly thought I was someone else that second time, so I didn’t take it personally. It was just wild seeing the two sides of him.

I spent the morning unloading pew parts at church. We hope to have new pews in place by Thursday service

Well, I see we are up and running. I suspected a problem while I was catching up on last night's posts. It took forever for a pagew to load in. Around 8:00, after I'd read BK's notes, I was no longer able to get onto today's posts.

Nice...and Rodzinski is heading towards 9000.

Then I planted the four plants I picked up on Saturday. It rained overnight, so digging was easy

Now time for a short rest.

I came up from the basement to find a new congratulatory voice mail on my answering machine. That was nice.

DR Elmore, while HHW was down this morning I sent you an email. Just want to make sure you get it okay.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 25, 2024, 09:53:00 AM »

Congrats to DR CHAS SMITH on his millstone.

Thanks! I've never gotten into the habit of looking at my post count, or even knowing in general where I am at any given time!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #58 on:** March 25, 2024, 09:58:33 AM »

Watching, DR Jrand73!

Elmore, do we have to watch the ballet Friday only or will it be available after that?
