Back, with two (2) serviced and ready-to-run chain saws.  The third will be ready in a couple of days.

And I'll bet you all thought I just sit around up here playing musicals.  Hah!

I am awake.

Barely, for some reason.

I feel as thought I'd just arisen from bed, but I have been up for at least four and a half hours.

I've done lunch (pork chop, smashed taters, squash casserole), picked up my mail (of NO importance, thankfully), and watched a bit of TV.

It's kind of cool in the house as I've not fiddled with the thermostat which was set last night at 65 degrees.  It's a cloudy, rainy day, and outdoor temps are in mid-60s.

I have had a phone call offering me an audiology appointment (for hearing aids) one week earlier than previously scheduled.  I accepted, but it's still more than a month away (May 7th).

I have a podiatrist appointment April 1 to have another callous reduction.

And for some reason, I have an odd suspicion I have something slated for April 26th, but I cannot remember what.

I know all this medical appointment info isn't earth-shattering or in keeping with the higher levels of repartee DR slapjaw offers up, but it's all I have going on right now.   ;)

I'm up, I'm up - six and a half hours of sleep. I was up for about forty minutes at five, fell asleep and woke up to use the ool then was going to sleep another two hours but the phone rang and it was old pal John Holly, who produced Hit Song, The Musical (one of my favorite chapters in the new book) - he just ordered the book and we gabbed for an hour - great to catch up. He bought an Airsrtream trailer and goes all over the country - settled in Arizona, but still travels four or five months out of the year. I told him to write a book about it.

I'm not sure I want to cook today - it's either more hot dogs or more pasta or eggs and none of that sounds good to me right now.

What is the ool?  Do you have a pool?

I’m wondering if it’s an after effect if the double vax on Sunday that’s making me so tired

Very likely, plus you never seemed to rest.

Holy crap! DR Laura was correct!

You know, a nicely autographed (in gold leaf, please) copy of The God Bless the USA Bible would reside handsomely next to this favorite Florida souvenir. The denizens this household are not immune to the glories of religious kitsch found in such places as the Indian River Fruit stands or the Magic Castle Gift Shop just outside of Disney World.

Just learned of a tasty horror flick from Greece that I need to find: Attack of the Giant Moussaka.

5-4-3-2–1 — MUSIC! The show opened, Ralph Edwards came on stage and pronounced: “Casey Stengel, THIS IS YOUR LIFE!” Without missing a beat, Casey (on camera, live) got up from his seat and said: “Oh no it isn’t!” and proceeded to walk off the stage. We immediately went to a commercial!!

Ralph Edwards completed the show by interviewing all of Casey’s friends…but no Casey

 :o ;D

DR ChasSmith, rather than talk about Fred's deelicious burgers and fries, I'll present their site. https://www.fredsnyc.com

 I used to love to meet friends there before the pandemic, and I remember a wonderful birthday dinner there one year. Then, just before the pandemic, I think, a fire closed them down for a while. I'm really happy they're still around.

There was a clip, I’m not sure if it was still Edwards, but Angie Dickinson was like hell no. They had tricked her that she would be doing an interview of Brian DePalma, so she’s prepared hard for that, and when they tried to surprise her, you can even hear the audio as they try to guilt her into participating and she stands her ground.

I never knew that.  Thanks for that information!

In this clip from an interview with Angie Dickinson on "CBS Sunday Morning"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GM3bb-6BHI

she says she was banned from the Tonight Show for refusing to do that "This Is Your Life."

Thanks for the clip.  Listening to her puts a different perspective on the show.  I always thought it was a way to honor someone yet I expect she was not the only one to feel very uncomfortable about it.

I laughed that Angie hadn't even combed the back of her hair thinking it wouldn't show.

All those appointments get to be tiring, at least that is how I feel about mine.
