DR George, we had what appears to be our first mail delivery since Saturday, Thanks for the package!

It's incredible how NYC gets *way* more impacted by their few inches of snow than up here in the wilderness where we get the real stuff. We only missed Monday's deliveries while the nor'easter was battering everyone.
On Tuesday, our plow guy had no sooner finished clearing our driveway around 11:00 a.m. when both a USPS and an Amazon van were driving up to the house bestowing gifts.
I do realize that the resulting slush is a huge factor in NYC snowstorm recovery.

I think too many postal carriers these days call in sick when they don't want to push a cart through large piles of snow. In your neck of the woods, don't they drive?
I am going to make a meatloaf today that will last the weekend.
Then I will try to find a loved one worth up to $5000.
Opera!!
Yes DR singdaw you may have the epitaph.....

I need to find a loved one worth a $1,000,000 life insurance policy so I can show them the view from the roof.
But seriously, DR Elmore -- go for it.

Just listened to the Renée Fleming album. Beautiful stuff, and I had somehow missed that the aria from Herrmann's Wuthering Heights was on there. What a treat. Also especially loved the selections from The Medium, Candide, and The Rake's Progress.
"Summertime" and "My Man's Gone Now" are all right, but now I wonder how long white sopranos can go on singing these in the current non-cultural-appropriation climate. Maybe (Covid and 2020 notwithstanding) that had already slowed to a trickle. I have no idea. It used to be that "everyone" sang and recorded these, apart from the opera, but it's hard to imagine that being accepted now.

I think the context is important. The most haunting version of Summertime that I have ever heard and will likely ever hear was sung by a group of Soviet women, all white, dressed as workers and dreaming of a better life. But I doubt Mel Torme would get to play Porgy nowadays, even on a recording.
This morning's heartbreaker:

SAG-AFTRA was going to censure DJT - so he quit instead......boldy proclaiming: "Who cares?"

SAG's response to the letter. "Thank you."
I got the only kind of lip balm I saw on Friday. It is Orange-Mango Explosion.....and it lives up to its name.

Thanks for all the plumbing vibes!
No new water leaks since last night, but the leaks seem to happen (at least, lately), between 6PM and 8PM.
The management sent someone to take a look today. At least wearing a mask. He was on a walkie-talkie with another guy in the apartments above us. They apparently cut out part of a wall upstairs, but didn't find a leak.
So, as DR Jrand70 says, we shall see what we shall see.
Had a wonderful three-hour visit with the Darling Daughter.

Friday morning greetings! It's a paperwork day for me and I'm at my desk dealing with an issue that I probably shouldn't discuss on a public forum. Nothing life-threatening, but very annoying.

VIBES FOR DR VIXMOM!
TCB, on my Facebook page. Should be right under my sad post from today.
I watched the stage version of 42ND STREET. It brought back fond memories of doing the show.

I think it was a West End production.
I played Asner, the sugar daddy of Dorothy Brock. I always thought it was weird that they put my character into the “Lullaby of Broadway” song and dance number. But there was Abner, singing and dancing in their production.
Not going to Facebook is a sane thing.
More about the sad post in the notes.

If not West End specifically, it was definitely a British production.
