Not even songs from the cast album of the Charles Strouse - Lee Adams musical?

You know, it's in my Apple Music library, but I don't think I've ever listened to it!

Got lots to do today, especially getting prepared for tonight's rehearsal. I ended up bagging last night's because by early afternoon the day had already taken so much out of me that I didn't feel I'd be able to handle it competently, which is a first for me. Back at it tonight.

I'm just glad we got everything done yesterday that needed to get done. And I did some cleanup of areas like the laundry room which is where the litterbox(es) (at one point we had two, for three cats) have been located for about 30 years. Last night and this morning were restful but a little weird. With morning came the realization that this is the first day in - not 30, but 35 - years that I woke up to a day with no feedings to be done. It was Thanksgiving weekend in 1990 that I adopted my first two babies, and it's been nonstop since.

Someone at Apple did a superlative job with the track listings:

Also had a wonderful phone conversation with DR Elmore about all of our cats.

For the past five years I'd been committed to this house being the sanctuary for Annabelle, Thatch, and Stella, if and when there should ever be reason for him to find a new home for them. We (my housemates and me) have gradually realized over the past several months or more that we just can longer commit to that because we're just too "done", and I felt worse than anything about breaking that five-year-old promise. Thankfully, DR Elmore completely understands that (not to put words in your mouth, sir!), and there will be another "right" person who can commit to taking all three - because they are never to be separated, even I from afar would never sanction that - and another path will be found.

I tell you, it's been a journey, these past few days, but we'll move on. It was a great conversation, and I needed it. Thanks again, DR Elmore.

Lovely. Speaking of Elmore’s cats, my copy of his book arrived, nicely packaged from Barnes & Noble. Well at least Barnes. Not sure what Noble had to do with it.

Like John, I was more a Marvel reader. But reruns of George Reeves were a part of Sunday TV in my house. And Superfriends on Saturday was a must. Saw the first 2 Chris Reeves films in the theater with my family. One of the modern ones on a plane…. But it’s not a character a care much about.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #39 on:** September 23, 2025, 06:45:04 AM »

I was an early adopter of superhero movie fatigue. Somewhere after the first Iron Man, the Spider-Man reboot, and maybe the first Guardians of the Galaxy, I could do no more.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #40 on:** September 23, 2025, 06:46:36 AM »

Even with reading comics as a kid, at some point I was like, “How often can I care about the whole universe in peril?”

ChasSmith · « **Reply #41 on:** September 23, 2025, 06:59:29 AM »

I should add that I've had zero interest in any of today's superhero movies, from day one, regardless of their individual subject matter. But that's just me.

In spite of that, I, too, thought I might be willing to see the new Superman film. But ... no.

Freddie · « **Reply #42 on:** September 23, 2025, 07:14:16 AM »

I did enjoy the domestic moments in the new movie with Clark/Superman and Lois, with Clark/Superman cooking "breakfast for dinner" for the two of them, and Lois arguing that she likes breakfast, but for breakfast.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #43 on:** September 23, 2025, 07:26:43 AM »

I have not seen a Superman movie since the second Christopher Reeve edition.....

I do enjoy the tv series and still watch it on Saturday and Sunday on Heroes and Icons TV.....4 episodes on each of those days.

The Fleischer cartoons are a problem for me because Bud Collyer's voice is so familiar to me from To Tell The Truth and Beat The Clock.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #44 on:** September 23, 2025, 07:28:08 AM »

Movies I still watch from both universes are Iron Man and Captain America - but only on television.

I did see Deadpool & Wolverine last year and it made me laugh.

I was almost alone in the theeder.

Thanks to DR JANE & DR LAURA for the updates on our former DR.

I kept pressing refresh when I got to the notes because I thought it was Wednesday, Sept. 24.....

IT IS NOT!

You know, it

It's a good score but it doesn't always walk the line between camp and honesty as skilfully as Lois Lane's lament "Oh, how I wish I weren't in love with Superman."

If you just take Tylenol PM, your kids will only be autistic at night.

Good news DR singdaw.

Does that mean kids will get vaccinated now?

Laura · « **Reply #53 on:** September 23, 2025, 09:17:08 AM »

Leonard will be my last kitten. He is 7 now, so if he lives a good long life, I'll be too old to outlive a kitten. If I outlive him, I'd get an older cat.

Laura · « **Reply #54 on:** September 23, 2025, 09:18:02 AM »

I hope my DH feeds Leonard if I get taken in The Rapture this week.

Laura · « **Reply #55 on:** September 23, 2025, 09:19:02 AM »

I saw the Christopher Reeve Superman. We had it on VHS when the kids were little, so I'm sure it played hundreds of times.

Laura · « **Reply #56 on:** September 23, 2025, 09:20:04 AM »

My DH loved the television Superman. I never saw it.

I found another song that the pair of keets like to sing along and dance to.
