A few other comfort foods, off the top of my head:

Macaroni and cheese (someone noted that it never used to be called mac and cheese; I wonder when that changed)
Sloppy Joes
Chili
Beef Stew or a New England Pot Roast or anything similar
Quesadillas (I make 'em and eat 'em till I can't eat any more ... wait, that applies to most anything)
White Castle cheeseburgers

I know I'm forgetting some things.

Though most of my comfort foods are hot, bingeing on certain cereals and even peanut butter sandwiches belong on the list.

DR MICHAELG scanning your programs is a great idea.

If you are planning on getting rid of the physical ones, you might ask at your local library sometimes an historical society is interested in preserving them.

The Putnam County Historical Society is now in possession of a many decade collection of programs, brochures, and newspaper articles that had been in a couple of file cabinets at my house for years.

That's a good idea. But I'm not getting rid of all of the physical ones, at least not yet. I'm keeping the pages with the program and the performers, and ditching all the pages with program notes, ads, staff, etc. That saves a huge amount of space when filing them away. The rest goes in the recycle bin.

I did the same with a number of programs, and it reduced the storage space to something absolutely inconsequential.

Well, this is really cool!  Someone posted on YouTube a PBS special about Rodgers and Hart:

The program proper starts at 5:25 and Rebecca Luker sings the first song!

The YouTube vid is two hours.  The R&H program is only an hour long, but Al Hirschfeld: The Line King is the second half of the video.

Good afternoon.

TOD: Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. It's in my notes at the church for my funeral.

The depth of snow we got is beyond what my snow blower can get through; that is, without taking multiple passes a couple of feet at a time. You could never get through this entire driveway that way. Our plow guy just texted me to say he'll be here eventually, the work around town that he does has been so heavy that he actually had to give his jeep a rest.

And now they're calling for a nor'easter next weekend. Another heavy snow.

Oh no.  That was nice the plow guy sent you a text so you wouldn't worry.

In the notes at the church, I like that.  Vibes it is a long, long time before that information is needed.

"About 5,300 flights were canceled and more than 4,300 delayed as of Monday afternoon, FlightAware data showed, after over 11,000 flights were scrapped on Sunday - the highest daily total since the pandemic"

There’s something I didn’t think of earlier. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

Along those lines, turkey and mashed potatoes and especially the stuffing, the original meal and leftovers alike. And there’s nothing like an open-face turkey or roast beef sandwich with gravy and fries.

White Castle cheeseburgers!!!!

I wrote the vocal arrangement for thast "Falling in Love with Love." God, I miss Rebecca.

Well I must have dozed off a LOT on Saturday.

Today I rewatched BUGONIA and liked it a LOT!

[Jrand75]

Health vibes for DR ELMORE.

Ah, yes indeed! And chicken soup with münster cheese and crackers.

A friend said they I should call my senators even if I knew they were supporting defunding the ICE bill.  Two reasons, one to get my opinion on record, and two to thank them.  I have just done that.

What I regret is not calling my congresswoman before the vote

My brother Kent is coming over tomorrow morning to shovel my driveway.

I’m enjoying Katrina Lenk in this lovely song from High Spirits.

That was really nice.

[Jane]

That is nice of him.  I'm sorry you didn't get help today.

[Jane]

At least you don't need to go anywhere for awhile.

My brother Kent is coming over tomorrow morning to shovel my driveway.

That's lovely!

My brother Kent is coming over tomorrow morning to shovel my driveway.

What a coinkydink (but not really)!  Tomorrow, I'm taking my mom to Kent (Washington) to check out the Tahoma National Cemetery.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep.

You're welcome, Jane.

[George]

You and Keith are welcome.

I wonder if I will sub tomorrow. Most schools are closed today.

As Craig predicted, his school district will be closed tomorrow.  Vibes your schools are open and you are needed to work.

While doing the cleanup I found years of old alumni magazines. I read through the alumni notes section before recycling them, and was sad to learn of deaths of some folks I knew. One was my stage girlfriend in The Gondoliers (Giulia to my Francesco), two classes behind me. Another was the star trumpet soloist in our college jazz band, in the same class.

That's always sad, Michael.  I get my college's yearly magazine and I've seen a couple of names I recognized.

Costco (if there are any around you and you go) sells a 2-pack of meatloaf and mashed potatoes.  It's quite good.
