But...why did the teacher mark it wrong??

My guess is that they were studying how to read an analog clock.

The picture doesn't specify.

LOL!

Regarding HAMILTON hitting the 10-year mark:

If it's OK to self-promote as a so-called "NYTimes commenter," LOL

Lin Manuel Miranda has become as generous with his fellow, lesser known writers as Sondheim had been. He noticed my parody lyrics in the Times comments sections, and publicly tweeted encouragement! To then make it somewhat meta, the Times even reprinted LMM's tweet ["Freddie the NYTimes commenter is a local treasure"] - bottom of this article.

One of the happiest aspects of that was that the printed-out LMM tweet was taped to my parents' fridge in Florida for close to a year, like a good report card or a good review!

That's fantastic, Freddie!

What an honor, to be mentioned like that by Lin Manuel himself!

I didn't realize it was old news. But still spectacular.

Good afternoon.

Curious to know what Rodzinski thinks about today's weather.

I've been mentioning the LMM tweet in conjunction with trying to get a bit of traction for my new book, which is covering parody lyrics about the first quarter of the century.

There's so many published (or soon-to-be published) authors here at HHW, you can't shake a stick without hitting one!

I'd announced the book in late June
https://music-and-comedy.blogspot.com/2025/06/starting-to-look-back-on-first-quarter.html
but since I have no deadline except for any deadline I choose, it seemed better to wait a bit, maybe closer to Labor Day.

It looks good.

We watched an excellent movie last night, The Life of Chuck. Has anyone seen it?

Freddie · « **Reply #143 on:** August 07, 2025, 04:53:20 PM »

We haven't had HBO for all that long, so we hadn't seen THE GILDED AGE before. We're just catching up with it now.

We're three episodes in, and it seems really enjoyable.

Jane · « **Reply #144 on:** August 07, 2025, 05:10:44 PM »

We plan to watch the first episode tonight.

Freddie, star ratings are absolutely meaningless - a lovely short review is fine - reviews help the algorithm.

I am enjoying reading about MR BK's new computer machine.....and with Windows 10 biting the dust in October.....I have just about decided to get a new one myself.
