Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed.
Madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

When she woke up and found, that her dream of love was gone.
Madam.
She ran to the man who had lead her so far astray.
And from under a velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down,
Madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail,
Madam,
They strung her from the old willow cross the way.
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried,
Madam.
Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today.

Miss Otis regrets... she's unable to lunch today.

I appeared and have finally caught up. I don't think I posted at all yesterday. It's been a busy few days. Tomorrow I will try to post a photo showing you what I've been up to.

We have a holiday party tonight. How did they know it was Michael Barnum's birthday?

Happy Birthday to the coolest man in all of Bollywood (and here too), Mr. Michael Barnum!!!!

Gotta go. I'll try to post more tomorrow.

I love Judy Garland's rendition of "I Happen to Like New York."

Speaking of Judy, here's the original sad movie version of...

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Once again, as in olden days, happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us, will be near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

The happy non-movie version:

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are, as in olden days, happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more

Through the years, we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

I see that comedian Richard Pryor died today. I was never as big a fan of his as others were, but at his best he could certainly be funny.

Good Afternoon!  Good Evening!

On dinner break... Changes and more changes...  Well, more like little tweaks and more tweaks.

...And I think I may take a nap sometime before tonight's curtain... "may" being the key word... We shall see...

I have some phone calls to make this evening. Then, I will indulge in a movie either from DVD or from the DVR. Can't remember if it was set to record something today or not. But I'll find out later.

DR JMK - I sent you an e-mail about this too...

As for the link you posted earlier...  There is also a companion "Prelude" published.  I believe Warner Bros. owns them now.  When I was working at the music store, we would keep copies of them behind the counter for "special"customers, and some music teachers would also give them out to their students from time to time.  I have to dig out some stuff from my storage unit on Monday, and I'll see if I can find my extra copies.

Oh, I really dig that song!

All Through The Night!


The day is my enemy, the night my friend,
For I'm always so alone
Till the day draws to an end.
But when the sun goes down
And the moon comes through,
To the monotone of the evening's drone
I'm all alone with you.

All through the night,
I delight in your love,
All through the night, you're so close to me.
All through the night, from a height far above,
You and your love brings me ecstasy.

When dawn comes to waken me
You're never there at all.
I know you've forsaken me,
Till the shadows fall.
But then once again
I can dream,
I've the right
To be close to you
All through the night.

...and even more birthday wishes! I just love you guys...and it is a wonder I love anything right now, having just returned from various and sundry shopping expeditions...what was I thinking...it is a mad house out there...the only thing that kept me sane during the long, long traffic lines was the wonderful CD that JRand made for me. I think I have a new favorite singer in Michael Holliday!

Also reported in todays news that actress Jean Parker died at age 90. I knew she was ill, as my interviewee Edith Fellows had mentioned that Jean was also living at the Motion Picture Country Home and that the last few times Edith had gone to here room to visit Jean didn't recognize anyone.

I tried to drive about in my motor car, just to take some air, but the streets are alive with the sound of traffic - cars everywhere, and people driving insanely.  I came directly home and ate four tacos from Henry's Tacos.  Am watching King Kong.

We just returned from a drive to Grants Pass, about 45 minutes away, to pick up new lighting we had ordered.  We had settled on pendants for our kitchen but to our pleasant surprise the ones we really wanted were suddenly available.  The prices were good too.

A day of passings. Former Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy also passed away today. He ran for President (the first time) in 1968 as the anti-war candidate and by almost winning in the New Hampshire primary, he convinced Lyndon Johnson not to run for re-election. He also ran, IIRC, 3 other times, including 1976. I voted for him in 1976. He wasn't on the ballot in every state but he was in Minnesota. That, BTW, was the year Jimmy Carter won the Presidency.

As much as I hate to do it, I must now hop onto the freeway to make my way to West Linn and then on to Portland. Hopefully the traffic won't be to horrendous.

Thank you all again for the wonderous birthday wishes! You are a heck of a great bunch of people!!

We campaigned for him in 1968 and were at the rally during the election.  I wasn't too sad he lost and was very happy to support Kennedy (unbeknownst to me, Keith had come to the same conclusion).  It was a fantastic evening until I returned home and turned the TV on just in time to watch the assassination.

I actually love the fries, but I love them too much, and the access was too easy here in NYC, so I swore 'em off.

I am able to post a picture of me with the gift bags now instead of tomorrow.

Here I am with just a few of the 2,900 gift bags we are making this year. The bags I'm sitting amongst will be going to Saint Vincent's Hospital. There are 300 bags here (there are bags in back of Anthony also, he's taking the picture) with gifts for 110 men, 70 women and 120 children. The children either have HIV/AIDS or their parent or primary caregiver has it.
