George, the Stourbridge Junction Railway Station Cat, is one of my major Facebook sites. I love today's photo of him

That's a great picture!  Thanks for posting it, Larry!

[George]

And it makes an excellent Page Four Glance Dance!

[George]

It usually takes us an hour to get out of the parking lot after a show. We were out in about 10 minutes after Oklahoma! The big rush was at intermission.

Oh, my!

Link to the New York Times obit for Tom Lehrer

"Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97"

Oh, no.

[George]

Back from the mail place. Got a very sweet fan letter from an eighteen year old gal who LOVES The Partridge Family.

Very cool!

[Jane]

Aww, I'm sorry about Tom Lehrer. His albums are in my favorites on Spotify.

[Jane]

That cast looked so mad when they were singing on the Tony Awards Show....and sorry Ado Annie in a wheelchair just doesn't work for me.

My gut feeling was that those boys were taking advantage of the poor girl in the wheelchair.

It would look like that.

[Jane]

The Ado Annie on tour was "Sis." She was big and mean. I just didn't have the feeling the boys would cozy up to her at all.

Oh my.

Awww.

MOST fortunately, it happened at the front of the condo complex, so I only had go without water for a couple of hours.  It's back on now.

That's good.

[Jane]

Ha!  Power outage last night....most annoying.

Power outage?  How about a water main break??

Oh no!  Is that near you?

It was at the front of the condo complex, so it's nowhere near my specific building.  There is an owner who is most directly affected (that's his window in the picture).  I'm too far away, so I just had to wait for it to get fixed.

Was there damage to the owner's condo?  After posting my question I saw where you said you don't know.

I did answer - she enclosed a photo of me and David Cassidy in a scene - so, I signed that, but also wrote her a little note.

Had my farfalle with roasted garlic, chicken, etc. from The Cheesecake Factory. Very good batch, but now I REEK of garlic.

Time for pill number two.

Nice.

Since Moulin Rouge was mentioned so glowingly this was my parody of the eleven o'clock number from Moulin Rouge -

"Rolling in the Deep" parody - my attempt at singing it in the style of Adele's ex Slinky Sunbeam, who supposedly caused all the overwrought angst the song was about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_oexA7W-g


P.S.  I wonder, though - if you date someone whose parents named him Slinky Sunbeam, I'm not sure what kind of reliability and steadiness you're expecting.

That was funny, Freddie!

Thanks, George!

[Jrand74]

Be nice to fans.

[Jrand74]

DR FREDDIE I think the power outage was heat related.

WOW DR GEORGE that's some Niagara!

[Jrand74]

thanks DR GEORGE I bookmarked that page for future reference.

That's very sweet of you.

Keith got Wordle in four.

We just watched the second episode (out of four episodes) of the streaming series ADOLESCENCE, which got a lot of Emmy nominations. 

So far, the series is very powerful and disturbing, and even shocking, especially in depictions about how teenagers behave towards each other on the internet.   

We decided not to binge watch it to the end of the series, though, and stick to one episode at a time.

I really will never understand anyone who's rude or dismissive of a fan. Ever. But then I learned that etiquette and necessity from the wonderful Robert Weede and I never forgot it and I live by it. You can change someone's life in such positive ways.

Just been zoning out on the couch like so much fish. I watched some hilarious Dame Edna interviews and what was, for me, the greatest game show, even though I really wouldn't call it that, in the history of television, which I'll write about in the notes.

Very nice.  Have you ever had to deal with a very rude fan?

Exhausted after a long day of dancing.

The competition is Saturday.

Now watching The Ex-Mrs. Bradford, a 30s mystery comedy with William Powell as a doctor who wants to be left alone, but his ex, Jean Arthur, seems to be a magnet for trouble. It’s a blueprint for The Thin Man movies, but the direction isn’t crisp or particularly focused.
