Here's Judge Jeanine Pirro's take as performed by Cecily Strong on SNL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-kInWtLOlk


"Judge Jeanine, are you drunk?"
"Colin, don't be silly, I just had a glass of wine with dinner."
"What was dinner?"
"Two bottles of wine."

Watch for the "winter tickle" in her throat at around 1:20 in.

She was great as Judge Jeanine!

Am home, have just awakened from a two-hour nap during which time I was listening to the Audible app and Al Pacino reading his book "Sonny Boy".  I had no idea of how steeped in poverty he and his family were.  It's an interesting story.

The surgery went very well.  Of course, I was there for quite a while before the actual procedure was accomplished.  And while I was aware of what was going on, I couldn't tell what was being done and felt nothing.  It was relatively quick, as such things go.

On the way home, I found I could read signs I hadn't been able to before and this was without eyeglassesd.  I am wearing a clear eye piece over the eye, and that bothers me a bit...my eyelashes keep brushing against it.  Otherwise, no pain even after all the drops wore off.  I have been told to expect the dilation to continue through tomorrow and possibly Saturday, but I already know things are much, much better, sight-wise.

That's wonderful, Ron!

When I was in Germany over Christmas a few years back, the radio station my sister listened to played Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah over and over again. Since when did this song become a Christmas song? It’s now the opening song on Jennifer Hudson’s Christmas album? Do people just not pay attention to the other lyrics?

No.  They don't.

Good night, all.

Excellent posting work, all.

I like Gregory Peck in Mirage.

Back from dinner and concert. Seven people at intermission came up to me and sweetly asked me why I hadn't directed the concert, because they'd ll seen the huge 90th birthday concert I directed. Listen, it was emotional because we all loved Richard, even those who didn't know him well. But I'm just a stickler about concerts and that's never going to change - this was all a bit too loose for me, the show order wasn't quite right, and it ran about two hours and forty minutes, and I think you all know I'm a two hours in and out guy. Some lovely performances, though, and, you know, it's the Sherman Brothers. They did have a nice montage of images to start the show and even though I was quite sure they'd leave it out, they had Levi there. They didn't sing anything from it, but it was sure nice to have even the tiny acknowledgment. Lots of heart. I'm sure the producers were very proud - Howard Green, Don Hahn, Gregg Sherman, and Tim O'Day. It was mostly open seating, but Howard made sure I was in the reserved section, so we had assigned seats. In fact, I was sitting two rows behind Elizabeth Sherman, so we had a nice chat and I'm going to visit her in a few weeks.
