I emjoyed DIE HARD, but I haven't seen it in years. I also enjoyed DIE HARD 2, but I found the crashing airplane a little too alarming since at that time I was doing a lot of flying.

DR John G, I thought Joyce di Donato was playing Aggrippina, not a countertenor, or, as my friend Peter Schickele would say, a bargain countertenor.

Makes me want to watch I Claudius again.

Up at 7 , two church services

Prepping all the food items

Hauling everything to mom’s

Cooking

Eating

Cleaning up

Dividing leftovers between the two households

Hauling the rest of the stuff home

By then it was 8:30 and the Vixter called

We chatted about an hour

Then I fell asleep

If my memory is correct, and this one doesn't come with a guarantee, I saw Die Hard when it opened at Century City, which would have been appropriate. Maybe BK can confirm or deny that it opened there?

I do love Die Hard, and I've never seen it often enough to OD on it. Never saw any of the sequels. I'd be happy to give at least the second film a chance.

I've always found Bruce Willis enjoyable. I don't know Alan Rickman like the rest of you seem to, so for me he's Hans Gruber, period, but I should look over his filmography. I do know he played Judge Turpin in the Sweeney Todd movie, which believe or not, I've never watched all the way through.

Good Morning - and it looks like we are back to Monday.  Yesterday was fun, spent time with mom and some family in the afternoon and that made my day. 

Back to work.  5 more weeks of school and they hours go by quite quickly.  I guess that's good and bad since there are still things to get done before the end of the school yar - but oh how far we've come this year.  Typing this, I'm listening to the kids on the playground and thinking back to September when there were no kids on the playground or even here at school.  We'll be talking about 2020 for a long time, I'm sure.

Taxes are done, and e-filed.

OY!

On the one hand I'm getting a refund, but I owe the other hand more than that amount. Ouch. But last year was an unusual one, and I knew the fates wouldn't be as kind as in some years. I'm just applying the refund to the other guy's take, and telling myself that all I'm really paying is the difference. Yeah, that's it. That's my story. So don't go harshing my mellow with reminders of reality.   :)

Back from picking up packages. I let the car run for twenty minutes before driving, getting to the mail place took ten minutes, I left it running while I picked up packages, and then another ten minutes back to home. Hopefully, that got it fully charged, but I'll go take a little drive later or at least let it run for fifteen minutes.

We were watching an episode of The Carol Burnett Show that originally aired in 1975. The guest star was Shirley MacLaine.

There was an extended duet/production number. They started out with "Gorgeous," from The Apple Tree, but then, to my surprise, they morphed into "I Love to Dance," by Billy Goldenberg, which formed the backbone of his score for Ballroom. But that show didn't premiere on Broadway until 3 years later, in 1978.

So, there's a light at the end of the uploading tunnel.

In the Ormandy set, starting in late 1955, the sound becomes even better - that's when they moved to their new recording venue and where all those magnificent stereo recordings were made. Apparently, up to the move, the Columbia engineers always struggled with how to mic the older venue. The difference is amazing, actually. It's like you're there.

I do love Die Hard, and I've never seen it often enough to OD on it. Never saw any of the sequels. I'd be happy to give at least the second film a chance.

I've always found Bruce Willis enjoyable. I don't know Alan Rickman like the rest of you seem to, so for me he's Hans Gruber, period, but I should look over his filmography. I do know he played Judge Turpin in the Sweeney Todd movie, which believe or not, I've never watched all the way through.


You have never seen any of the Harry Potter movies?

I think it must have been stolen.

Perhaps I should call the Puyallup Police Department?

Oh Hell, they wouldn’t help.

Perhaps it is still in one of the boxes that are in the storage closet (also, called the third bedroom).

I thought maybe I would find it on You Tube, but no such luck.

There are several musical numbers from the show, but not the entire show.

I suppose I could get it if I subscribe to PBS.

And is George reading? He did say he would. And yet, no trace of George. By George, perhaps he'll stop by.
