Well, you've read the notes, the notes were surreal, and now it is time for you to post until the surreal cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

And what a relief that nothing bad happened with that tilting tree!  Hoping a good tree stand can be doubt.

TOD: One set I really enjoyed was not opulent at all, the set for the play SOME AMERICANS ABROAD, where (at least on Broadway at Lincoln Center) at the top of the show all the settings for the scenes within the play were suspended from the ceiling, and as the play progressed, the setting for that scene came down from the ceiling.  The scenic design even got a Tony nomination without being opulent.

I was in bed by 7:45 last night, and the alarm rang at 5:00 this morning. I'm mentally and physically good for about four hours of work these days, and I'm mentally better in the morning, so my current work schedule is. hopefully 8:00am to 12:30pm. On Christmas day, I will work longer,mainly because I need to spend 3 hours or so sometime between the 26th and 28th doing much needed laundry.

DR George, I think the sing-along Messiah sounds like such fun, but I have some logistic questions:
    Is there an orchestra?
    Are there soloists?

BK, I love the painting! It reminded me of some of the prep artwork for Disney animated films from the 1940s and 50s.

The sN*wF*ll has already begun, so there's a dusting on everything. We're to get one to two inches between now and early afternoon.

That is indeed a wonderful painting, and I hope BK is successful in finding out who the recipients were.

Irving and Vanessa are perfect character names. What do you think? Play or musical? Oh, let's go all the way.

Today is the fifth anniversary of Rebecca Luker's death. This is my favorite live recording of her.
