I recall that CASTLE ended somewhat arbitrarily, because two of the actors just didn't renew their contracts, not because they ran out of story ideas

It was an arbitrary goal, but the goal was reached!

Can HHW in 2025 possibly reach or even surpass the impressive statistics from 2024?

And did all those Guests (sometimes 400 or 500 at a time) find HHW, as I've speculated, because BK started writing about his doing DRAT! THE CAT!

Hearing about BK doing DRAT! THE CAT! is one of the Internet content things I'm looking forward to.

Hoping the theater won't impose restrictions on what can be written about on the net for that process.

I sent two hours yesterday practicing Viennese waltz, finished my first book of the year, Mr. Wilder and Me, and watched Original Cast Album: Company.

Where did you send them?

Today’s Billy Wilder is one I haven’t seen before: The Spirit of St. Louis.

I am wondering if the waiter did not want the manager to know about forgetting to serve the food on time.

I was literally about to post this last night to finish my Applebee's story:

And the real kicker is that Shelly ate her chicken broccoli Alfredo dish after coming home...and it gave her diarrhea!!



Oh no!  I would never go back there.

I can see from the opening, with a room of reporters, that Wilder was a natural for The Front Page. I should rewatch that one. I remember little of it except Carol Burnett.

Guess who else brought in the New Year by enjoying ill health?

And who's got the POSITIVE TEST RESULT to prove it?

Nathan.

He'd been to NJ to visit his mom and other family, got back on New Year's Eve, and immediately started feeling crappy. Yesterday he just kept feeling crappier during the TZ marathon, and decided to test. The other two of us are FINE, thankyouverymuch, and he's starting to feel a little better today, but it looks like he'll get to miss some work. Which he won't mind doing at all.
