Title: TIME REMEMBERED
Post by: bk on January 03, 2022, 12:06:43 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were on time and remembered, and now it is time for you to post until the remembered cows come home.

Title: Re: TIME REMEMBERED
Post by: George on January 03, 2022, 12:46:17 AM: Topic of the Day #1: (the now late :( ) Stephen Sondheim. I fell in love with musicals when I was in high school, and at first I knew more about Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jerry Herman and Rodgers & Hammerstein, but at some point discovered Sondheim and was hooked. I've gotten at least one recording of every one of his shows.
Title: Re: TIME REMEMBERED
Post by: George on January 03, 2022, 12:47:55 AM: Topic of the Day #2: I was in choirs all throughout middle school and high school, and in high school Show Choir, we did a lot of songs by The Manhattan Transfer. I fell in love with them way back in the 1980s and have completely been a fan ever since. I've seen them in concert more than a dozen times, and have even met them when they came to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts! :D

Post by: ChasSmith on January 03, 2022, 05:55:06 AM: I slept fine until the rudest little dream this morning, from which it was a relief to awaken. I really could have used a bit more sleep, but it was worth it to have realized that the irritating situation was, in fact, a dream, and I could choose to keep my eyes open and banish it. Banish it I did, but the damned thing keeps following me around.
Title: Re: TIME REMEMBERED
Post by: ChasSmith on January 03, 2022, 05:59:23 AM: Yesterday evening I was ready to watch something, but didn't know what it should be. I finally pulled the Twilight Time Blu-ray of How to Succeed... off the shelf and greatly enjoyed it. It's one of those I'd briefly checked out when I got it, but this was my first time to watch it straight through.

I look forward to playing it, and especially to seeing how Marist College mounts it.

Post by: bk on January 03, 2022, 02:50:07 PM: I had an Island's burger and fries for food. Very good. Ordered via Door Dash with a discount that ended up being the same cost as if I'd gone there. This was a new burger, or at least one I hadn't seen before. Like their classic Big Wave but instead of mustard and ketchup it was thousand island. Excellent. The fries were free - a special promotion on top of the discount. There weren't a huge amount, so that was a good thing.

Stella looks too innocent to ever be in any trouble.

No cat ever looks that innocent. 😀

I'm afraid I haven't been following the case.

I haven't been following closely, just occasionally reading updates. Having read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou I really wanted her to be convicted.

Me, too.

That is because she is a great actress. Don't let those innocent eyes fool you!

Title: Re: TIME REMEMBERED
Post by: George on January 03, 2022, 11:01:15 PM: It's only streaming through January 7, however. It was available starting on December 17, but I didn't know that...but I do know now. :)
Title: Re: TIME REMEMBERED
Post by: George on January 03, 2022, 11:20:36 PM: This production is also available on Blu-ray (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F1H3DUQ/) and DVD (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B003H0ZGWC/).

No home tests available.

Darn! I got an e-mail at work last week (when I wasn't at work) from a vendor selling Covid tests for large businesses. I wonder if they sell to individuals, too.
Title: Re: TIME REMEMBERED
Post by: George on January 04, 2022, 12:15:50 AM: Never mind. The e-mail says: "Our price is $9/test (shipping included) for a case of 288 kits or $7/test for an MOQ of 15,120 (FOB CA)." :o
