Freddie - it's a membership company so everyone has to audition. The only two gals they had that were anywhere near being okay for the show think they have paying gigs coming up, but my guess is those aren't  real yet and they're just hoping they are. I'm happy to go outside for that role because without someone great we don't have a show.

I wonder if I still have the recipe. I think they had Rice Krispies, Cornflakes, and Oatmeal.

I do need to go out on Tuesday for my follow up appointment with my surgeon.

I really hope we have no remaining snow and ice on the ground.

That's great that you're happy doing that.

Saturday.  And it is 15 degrees headed for 29 degrees and less than 24 hours away from 10 inches of snow - or so.

Oh, my goodness!  Stay safe and warm, Jrand!

Lousy night of little sleep. I dreamt of riding horses.


Maybe we can set that horse dream to music.  The (decidedly serious) show FAMILY MUSIC, which I co-wrote with the fabulous Marian Weiner, actually has a song that started with "Last night I dreamed of a grey horse, running across a cloudy sky"

"Run With Me" - at start of this Youtube

Very nice, Freddie. :)

TOD: For color, I found What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams to be visually stunning. For black and white, the look of The Third Man has really stayed with me.

Thank you for the recipe DR Iris.  My recipe was different.  I went in search of it to confirm if it included Corn Flakes or not.  It didn't though I might have occassionally tossed them in the mix.
