  Election Day may be more scary than Halloween, though.

Ain't THAT the truth!

I think I said four years ago that Election Day is like a colonoscopy: I want to get it over with, but I'm kind of afraid of the results.

Excellent observation!

TOD:

David Shire is one of my favorite composers.

His greatest score, IMO, is "Return Oz", which is one of my favorite scores of all time.  I have long thought he and Maltby should have worked it into a Broadway musical.

My favorite Shire song:  "Only When I Laugh".

I love the Kimmel-produced album of Shire's music.

Well I did something that I probably shouldn't have.....and about half way in I was ready to quit.

For the DVD viewing tonight - I decided to use an old sound system with a big bass speaker and three little speakers - right center and left.

I wanted to hook it up to the tv in the party room.  And of course that means cords and wires and this and that.

I couldn't get it to work.  Of course it is at least 25 years old.

So I puzzled and futzed and carried.  Then I looked and discovered that the system itself has a DVD player in it [although not a Blu Ray].....so I switched my cables around a bit and put them in different holes.....

And lo and behold - it worked.  So tonight will will watch our DVDs in glorious 3.1 sound.......

Well, that had an unexpectedly happy conclusion!

A nap would be delicious, but I don't want to be sleepless overnight. As has been so often the case the past week.

Consider me another Return to Oz fan.

As to their theater scores, I love most everything in Baby, especially Our Story Goes On. Big has the great Dancing All the Time. closer Than Ever has some great songs: Life Story, Three Friends, Fathers of Fasters, Back on Base. And Starting Here, Starting Now has I Don't Remember Christmas.
