We had a nice time trying a new, to us, restaurant with friends. We all agree it was delicous and plan to return.

In February 1976 I went to a square dance with my then BF Rich, the dance held at the Presbytetian church in my town.

While there we were invited to tour the "coffee house" in the basement, a group for young adults 18 and up that met on Sunday evenings.

In 1985 I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar / restaurant on the shores of the Great South Bay and working in real estate.

So 3 times a week I was there and there was always leftovers in the fridge that needed to be disposed of.

I'm pretty sure the regulars here on HHW have seen me link these over the years, in whole or in sections (although any repeat clicks would be appreciated). Hoping some of the seemingly hundreds of "non-bot" Guests will give one or more of these a try.

Starting to look back on the first quarter century on our YouTube parody timeline,

Full disclosure: I'm gearing up for promoting my upcoming parody lyric book (6th in my 21st Century Oldies series)

21st Century Oldies, The First Quarter Century: What a One-Percent World!
21st century events sung to the oldies

Please share the links if you know anyone who might be interested.

These were some "long form" (7 to 10 minutes) parody snapshot mini-musicals we did on what we (these from our theater-oriented viewpoint) saw as major socially resonant events 2001-2025: the first time even Sondheim went premium (in 2009-2010), Broadway closing and the 2020 Quarantine, the 2008 economic crisis.

A LITTLE SITE MUSIC, or EVERY DAY A LITTLE NET - 10-minute mini-movie, the first time Sondheim on Broadway went premium, as the ladies of A Little Night Music (Charlotte, Anne, Madame Armfeldt, Desiree, Petra and Fredrika) dealt with premium tickets to the starry 2009 revival of their show -
Vocals: Jan Horvath

WHEN I'M STUCK AT HOME, the 2020 Quarantine Through the Eyes of a Performer - 7-minute mini-movie, as a performer deals with theater closings by making masks (Make 'Em Masks) and then imagining socially distant roles in parodies of Rose in Gypsy (Together Wherever We Go), Joanne in Company (The Little Things You Do Together), Bianca/Lois Lane in Kiss Me Kate (Always True to You In My Fashion) and staying at "Home" with Dorothy (and Emily's cat as Toto) -

THE LEHMAN EULOGY, AN AIG BAILOUT PARODY MEDLEY (2008 economic crisis) - 8-minute parody-jukebox musical, through parodies of Top Ten classics from the Helen Reddy songbook, Delta Dawn, I Am Woman, Angie Baby, You and Me Against the World, Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady -
Vocals: Georga Osborne & Shauna Hicks

I was intrigued by his voice and left a message on her table when just left

I'm about fifty pages into proofer two's stuff. I won't attempt too much more this evening - maybe just a bit - but do the rest tomorrow.

I plopped down on the bed at five. Just got up.

vixmom · « **Reply #233 on:** June 28, 2025, 07:07:31 PM »

Who is the guy with the English accent? Why don't I know him?

Pam brought me to the D&D game.

And to the next couple.

From John:

Quote
It was the first novel ever written. It’s more than 1,000 years old. The woman who wrote it had no form to follow. What she created is a marvel. And occasionally frustrating. And brilliant. And exhausting.

It sounds very interesting. If my eyes were better I would tackle it.

I vaguely remember reading something about "the first novel ever written," and it being written by a woman, but I didn't remember anything else.

Then the guy asked me on a date, except before the day his jeep broke down and was in the shop.

vixmom · « **Reply #238 on:** June 28, 2025, 07:09:39 PM »

Coincidentally my car picked that same week to fail

vixmom · « **Reply #239 on:** June 28, 2025, 07:09:52 PM »

Pam took us on our first date
