SAD is Seasonal Affective Disorder. A good way to fight it is with exercise and keeping lights on in the house.

I for one am enjoying the snow, of course since Keith has taken over shoveling it. Echo and I had a lovely walk in the snow. Well I trudged and Echo ran. I slowly followed her paw prints in the snow. I knew when she got to the end of the trail she would return to me. I have trained her well and she knows she will get a treat at our turn around points. She was just so cute running back to me.

Speaking of cute-loved the Bonnie and Buster pictures!

Hey, Jane, how about a pic of Echo posted here on HHW one of these days!

I still think we should have a pet posting picture day sometime!

Just finished reading Kritzerland and enjoyed it very much.

BK: When does the next book come out?

...which maked me think of that fun name game where you take the name of your first pet and the name of the first street that you lived on as a kid (other then a numbered street, in which case choose the first street you lived on that had a name or use the closet cross street). Put those two names together and that is your stage name...or the name if you were a porn star, burlesque star, or drag queen, or however you prefer to play. It is fun. I will start

My name would be PEPPER BARNES! LOL!

As can be seen from the pics, der Brucer and I haven't been collecting CDs or theatrical experiences this year; we've been too busy collecting DOGGIES!

What's really sad is how so many people think of animals as "disposable," like razors or pens. We've learned that there are people who come to places for Rehoboth for the summer, renting a condo or some such place, and get a pup because they're so cute. When the vacation is over the people decide they can't take the pup back to the city with them, and just abandon the poor animals. It'll be like a re-run of how Bonnie and Buster came into our lives, but on a much larger and crueler scale.

I've a hunch that, when der Brucer and I start helping Animal Rescue groups (which try to find homes for these unfortunate lads and lassies), we're going to have a house filled with the newly unwanted. Odds are these new dogs will not have had their shots, let alone the necessary operation to prevent more unwanted puppies. The hard part is going to be facing the fact that we cannot take care of them all, and that some of them will be unplaceable.

In that case, I'd be Shortz Andover.

Blame my sister; my first pet was a daschund, and she insisted on the name. Later in his life, after she was in college, I made a point of calling him Herman, Horatio, or Henrick, anything that started with an H. He always responded to those names, as he hadn't with that piece of S he'd been saddled with before. And my sister has turned out to be a cat person.

I'm working on it. I need to find a better picture of her and figure out how to post the picture. I have a really cute one of Bogie under the Christmas tree I want to post.

The driveway is now clear so I'm off to do errands.

Penny was one of my bridesmaids at my wedding. She will be visiting us next month. I shall get the real scoop on Bruce’s Christmas Eve party when she is here.

So what you are saying, Dearing Reader Jane, is that the detailed reportage faithfully and diligently posted here by Dear Reader Charles Pogue, Dear Reader Panni and Dear Reader Me, not to mention that of Dear BK himself (he a paragon of objectivity), is suspect

The variation I played on this was to create your rap artist name. It also requires the name of your first pet, the name of your favorite Little Rascal or Stooge, plus the first letter of your mother's maiden name.

Ergo, come the time I make a career in rap, I shall be known as Mephisto Spanky J.

I've never had a pet, so I can't have a porn star name!

I can use the name of a friend's cat and the first street name I remember to create one, though.

Princess Pembrook
OR using some names of my best friend's birds: Periwinkle Pembrook or Paris Pembrook

Oh, how awful about Jerry Guttierez! I don't think he took his dog with him on stage, but he had it in the audience with him and handed it to his companion when he won those two times. He also directed the unliked revival of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS.

I could be Herman Husky Way.

Does that even make sense? I could shorten it to just Herman Husky. Or I could use the first street that I lived on when I moved out of my parent's house for the first time, which would make it Herman Israel. That's a little better.

Herman the turtle was the first pet that I had On My Own (a Les Misérables reference) ... as opposed to Frisky the cat, who was the first pet that my sister and I had together. If I used the street that I'm living on now, I could be either Herman Fern or better yet Frisky Fern. Now that's a drag queen name!

Jay · « **Reply #114 on:** December 30, 2003, 02:16:54 PM »

Going by Dear MBarnum's rules, I'd be Mephisto Kings Highway. Don't think it would work. If you drop the "Highway," it might work as a porn name, but definitely NOT as a DQ moniker.

"Herman Husky" would work well in a niche corner of the porn market, I would think.

"Frisky Fern" not only as a drag name, but also as a porn name and also as a stripper name. Think of all the career possibilities in front of you, Dear Reader George!

On www.wamc.org, Laurel Massé, founding member of The Manhattan Transfer has a monthly (and not archived...you can only listen to it when it's on) Internet radio show. I think it's either the last or the fourth Wednesday of each month. She's doing a New Year's Eve special that was recorded a little while ago, but is being broadcast tomorrow and I don't know if she is going to sing or if she's just hosting the program with other performers. Either way, I would assume that it's going to be a good show. According to the website, it's from 8-10 pm Eastern time (5-7 Pacific time).

As to the Topic of the Day:
My top favorite non-theatrical CDs (to be added to later) are definitely The Manhattan Transfer's "Couldn't Be Hotter" (their first live album in quite a while), Janis Siegel's "Friday Night Special" (both of which are on Telarc, their new label) and Cheryl Bentyne's "Talk of the Town" and "Moonlight Serenade" CDs that have (so far) only been released in Japan (and where I was able to get them on-line). Her "Talk of the Town" CD is going to be released next month with all new photos on the Telarc label.

Thanks for the info, George! Being the Transfer fan that I am, I may just have to give that a listen. Also may have to track down those CD's of Janis' and Cheryl's! I've met Janis a couple times, and found her thoroughly delightful. Also briefly met Alan Paul once, but didn't get a chance to chat with him any to form much of an opinion.

They are, at last, forecasting some snow for Western Washington. The storm is supposed to move in this afternoon or evening, but, at most, we might get three inches of the white stuff. Hardly a crisis, unless you have previously witnessed how Washingtonians drive when the "s" word is mentioned.

Oh, you silly west-siders! A light dusting of snow and your entire side of the state starts putting chains on your cars. Over here we wait for 8 inches before we start to think about the studded tires.

Ugh...I just realized that I'm going to have to fight my way through the "Nathan and Matthew are back in THE PRODUCERS starting tonight" line in order to meet the Gold Diggers at Ollie's. If it's crazy outside the St. James, I'll snap a photo and share it tonight.
