42 years ago today I was bumbling around in my mom's tummy trying to figure out if it was time to pop out yet!

You describe it so visually, it's almost like we're all there....

Well, I'm putting myself to bed a little earlier tonight. I have an 8 a.m. dental check-up and cleaning tomorrow, and that hour will come very fast.

Good night, all.

Ewwww.....I can hear that cleaning tool right now!!!

"Il Divo" were "big" here last year - as they were in the UK.
(ie before their American publicity tour).

Do you like them?

Well, I did stop at Target tonight, but I wound up not making any of my expected DVD purchases. I found out that there were double-disc versions of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, THE POLAR EXPRESS and KING KONG (the last actually coming in a tin box.) I suddenly felt overwhelmed and confused and suffered from consumer burnout. I came straight home and opened up a bottle of George Duboeuf's New Wine for 2005 to calm my nerves.

Golly...what do you do when you find a shirt you like and it's available in five different colors?

I recall quite clearly a kid named Frank Church running off the playgoround screaming, "Maybe they'll shoot Johnson on Monday and we'll get another day off!" This is probably the first clear memory from my early childhood. I still recall the entire weekend being taken up with news reports on tv--there were no cartoons, which was the big tragedy for someone of my age.

I'm glad you said this. I have a vivid memory of a boy named Mickey Tinsley making a really ugly remark about Jacqueline Kennedy that day while waiting for school to be dismissed.

A year later, he attended a Billy Graham Revival, "accepted Christ as his Saviour", and walked around school carrying a Bible. I never believed him for a minute, either!

Like many of us, he probably "tries to remember the kind of
September...."

Does that mean that the "C" in TCB stands for Callow?

Very much so Ron.
I don't care for most opera (as an entertainment to view) but I do like the voices of quite a few opera singers!

I like the diversity of their styles and the blend they attain.

In case anyone is craving a recipe for something seasonal:

SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE

3 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1/3 stick margarine or butter
1 tsp. vanilla
"Smidge" of nutmeg, if you have it.

Mix ingredients well, and pour into a greased casserole dish.

TOP WITH THE FOLLOWING:

1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup plain flour
1 cup chopped nuts
1/3 stick margarine or butter

Mix ingredients and sprinkle on top of sweet potato misture.

Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned (approx. 30 minutes)

For a 9 X 13 rectangular dish, DOUBLE THE RECIPE and cook for approx. 50 minutes.

I always thought it stood for "Charismatic"!

I could have done without "My Way". The song from "the Mission" is wonderful.

I have a strong fondness for Luciano Pavarotti....primarily, I suppose, because I'd never heard OF him when I first heard him sing...on the "Turandot" recording with Joan Sutherland.

Totally...I love it as "Gabriel's Oboe" from the score, but I don't have a clue what the words mean for "Nella Fantasia".

I'd LOVE to pick a batch of songs for one of their albums.

Oh! An Oz reference. Our Joan.

I prefer Jose Carrares (to Pavarotti) - something more fragile there to love. I like Domingo least of "The Three Tenors"

As you've said..."Horses....courses"....it's ALL good!

Time to welcome the sandman...

Ah! a Sandman reference. DR Kerry (remember him) grew up listening to "Japanese Sandman" played wonderfully by Freddy Gardner. What a talent.

On location from the edit bay. We'll be here till at least midnight, so notes will obviously be up late.

Yay, Jrand is back.

Now that IS humour. (unless it's true)
