Well, you've read the notes, the notes had the coughing and blowing routine continuously, and now it is time for you to post until the coughing and blowing cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: INDEFATIGABLE!

George, I really was fascinated by the Forward-slash vs. Back-slash implications.  I almost never actually type either; they usually come along in things I cut-and-paste.

There's a new episode, episode 5,  of HEATED RIVALRY today.  I'm hoping the series will somehow make some sense of that total detour in tone they took in episode 3. 

Nothing I've found online seems to explain why they'd risk the momentum they had coming off episodes 1 and 2, which were fun and unique and a bit trashy and quite wild, vs. episode 3, which was something rather ordinary and tasteful. I think we as an audience like TV series to be reliable in tone at least from episode to episode,

Good morning, all!

I slept well. Annabelle is currently resting on the tea cart beside me; I think last weekend's cold spell has given her the sniffles. Thatch has recently returned to the cat tree, after an absence of several years, and both he and Stella seem healthy (knock wood!).

[singdaw]

Good morning, friends.

[singdaw]

And others.

So's your old man!

I have nothing to report, ad I will be absent a bit because of the deadlines for the Encores! work. I have to rethink my schedule for the next week since I have eight numbers from the show to finish by Dec. 27, when Joshie is back from family in Vermont, and I have little time between then and Jan. 2 to work on the other numbers. The orchestra reading is Jan. 9, a week later, and the copyists need time to enter adjustments and print new orchestra parts by Jan. 8.

~~~FEEL BETTER PRONTO VIBES~~~ for BK!!!

BK, did you post anything about the Christmas Carol ballet? Did I miss it? Christopher Gable was the Artistic Director of Northern Ballet until his death in 1998.

Friday.

And here it is, our closing weekend. Tonight and tomorrow night, and that'll be all she wrote.

These are the last two performances of Wreck the Halls for the foreseeable future. It has enjoyed six successful runs, one every other year starting in 2015. Our composer/lyricist/director is retiring from local directing after this one, and the show will be retired for a while as well so he can give the materials the loving attention they need for future licensing.

I almost had to say nothing, again, but on the spur of the moment last night I watched my heretofore ignored Criterion DVD of The Spirit of the Beehive - or, if you prefer, El espíritu de la colmena. I never saw it at any time, any place, but I've had the Criterion for YEARS, and it had been on my mind recently to ketchup with it. So ketchup I did, taking in the film and all the supplements. It's had an incredible following since its birth in 1973, and here I am, over 50 years later, finally paying attention. I'm glad I took the plunge, and I shall look forward to returning to it in the coming months and years.

DR Jrand75's wind and rain just arrived!

It warmed up all through the night, from the 30s to nearly 60 degrees, and now we'll have this off and on all day. Tonight the temperature will drop back to below freezing, so black ice will be a concern, depending on how wet or dry things are by then. Just what we needed.

[Freddie]

Temperatures in the high 50's this afternoon!

[singdaw]

Not sure if I'm bad at sleeping or just really, really good at thinking.

The President is expected to rename the San Andreas Fault to "Joe Biden's Fault."

Great one!

In hindsight, using the "Let It Snow" wrapping paper may not have been the best idea.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Got about eight hours of sleep and am happy.

[elmore3003]

The President is expected to rename the San Andreas Fault to "Joe Biden's Fault."

LOL!

In hindsight, using the "Let It Snow" wrapping paper may not have been the best idea.

ROTFLMAO!

RE: The Kennedy Center's new name: the only buildings worthy of having the name TRUMP attached to them are toilets and whorehouses, since he's turned the entire current administration into hius personal brothel.

There’s a movie called The Great Rupert. It features this bizarre musical number. Complete with ocarina.

Last night I watched two episodes of the 2014 BBC remake of Mapp and Lucia, which cannot hold a candle to the wonderful 1985 BBC series of the high-camp E.F. Benson novels. Anna Chancellor, whom I loved as the pathetically ridiculous Miss Bingley in the 1995 BBC version of Pride & Prejudice, lacks the beauty or comic timing of Geraldine McEwen, and poor Miranda Richardson, whom I generally love, seems to be attempting - and failing at - a Prunella Scales impersonation. Scales' characterizations of Mapp and Mrs Fawlty of Fawlty Towers are two of the great BBC harridans.
