Dead here.

This show took it out of me.

But it was good, and we closed on a high note. (A-flat, to be precise, end of the Exeunt Music.)

Congrats, ChasSmith!

BK, I am listening to Christmas on Broadway. You and Michele doing "Be a Santa" would make any Ebenezer Scrooge dance with joy. I too look forward to photos of The New Car.

I listened to that yesterday and agree wholeheartedly. It always lifts my spirit.

I just listened to the complete album for the first time in years. It'a got some terrific numbers on it.

I've got to find my Broadway holiday CDs.  They're around here somewhere.

Sunday morning greetings.  Apropos to this $&%@ year, we’ve cancelled our trip to Illinois for Christmas.

Noooo!! :(

I like Peter Riegert. So sue me!

Why shouldn't you like him?

Today’s notes offered a mild Riegert rebuke.

I haven't had time to read them yet.

Thank you, DRs Freddie, Vixmom, Singdaw, and Jane for the kind words about our scuttled holiday plans.  The girls have one present to open (not from us, alas) on Christmas morning that I hope to witness on video chat.

I gather you have all of the gifts from you.  It will be like a second Christmas once you see them.

BK (and anyone else), do you know what an "emordnilap" is?  I came across this video short and found it quite interesting (especially for BK)!

I Built An Emordnilap Machine

:D


That was fun - and most informative!

This was fun :)

I thought so, too! ;D

Here’s a story you may have heard from me before, but I was able to tell my full version finally after a Birmingham reporter had botched it some time ago. If you don’t want to read, you can also listen to my expanded audio version linked at top.

I'll have to read it later. I need to get ready to celebrate my friend Margo's birthday (which actually was on Wednesday)!

This is a Hallmark card commercial, like the tear jerker ones years ago.  Thank you for the wonderful story.

I was going to go get more Diet Coke, but why when I have to do other shopping in the morning? So, I'll stay in today.

I think the A Broadway Christmas album came out really well and it's the one I play at all the Dos, softly in the background. I get quite a few messages from folks every Christmas saying it's their favorite. A Hollywood Christmas, while not quite as successful for me, also has some really good tracks on it.

What to eat, what to eat, that is the question, along with when to eat it. I've gone through everything here save for the Do stuff.
