Gee Officer Krupke. I remember leaving the family room, walking to the kitchen, and asking my mother what words like bastard and S.O.B. meant. She calmly explained them to me. I returned to the family room and listened again with new knowledge. (Played Baby John eventually too)

IT'S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history!With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

10/18/25💪No Kings – Kalamazoo, MI🇺🇸

Photo of me with my rally sign that reads “I love the US of A. It’s why I’m here today. My T-shirt reads “Science is real. Black Lives Matter. No human is illegal. Love is love. Women’s rights are human rights. Kindness is everything.”

Kalamazoo, MI. Initial estimates from our local Indivisible chapter are that at least 10,000 people participated in today’s rally. That’s 8% of the population of our metro area (adding in Portage’s pop).

My husband saw the OBC, and we had the OBCR in my home. The night we met my husband made a very subtle reference to Babbette which I got. We’ve been together almost 30 years now. Our children’s first Broadway experience was the Kristin revival at age 8. Love this show!

I survived it all yesterday. You can too!

When we lived four blocks west of third base at Wrigley (one block from Addison & Southport) from 2009-2017, that was a daily ritual. In town? Out of town? Day game? Night game? Concert? Move the car or no?

Cover of a book entitled Cocktails with George and Martha with photos of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton from the film Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Since it’s Mother’s Day, this is a fascinating read. Makes you want to stream the film as soon as you finish the book. I also really enjoyed this person’s style of writing.

Listing of order of awards and presenters at the 1960 Academy Awards on April 4, 1960. From the book “Inside Oscar” by Mason Wiley and Damien Bona.

Doesn’t look like it.

Called my MI Senators Slotkin and Peters offices and left messages for both.

Just called our two MI Democratic Senators’ offices (Peters and Slotkin) and our GOP Congressman’s (Huizenga) office about Elon getting access to the Treasury Department’s computers. Doing my part today.

Party, I am a member of both groups on FB. Thank you for reaching out!

Husband and I saw Arcadia in French at La Comedie Francaise in 1999. Supposedly the first time they had presented a non-French play. Very French production. We had a copy of the script with us even though we both speak French. Quite a memorable evening at the theater.

YUP! And Raiders and Strictly Ballroom and most of the Disney Animated features (as a Disney Dad it was my duty to expose them to the classics while enjoying everything released in the last 20 years). And Mamma Mia (daughter was obsessed with it as a 3 yo while son had to alternate it with CARS.

My son Gabriel died three years ago tonight at the age of 15 after a 2 1/2 yr journey with a rare cancer (DSRCT). Blue was his favorite color, so blue hearts in his memory today. And to all whose grief makes this time of year difficult.

South Bend - it sounds like dancing. Watching The Philadelphia Story on TCM. Many, many quotable lines.

Called my Republican Rep Bill Huizenga’s office from sapphire blue Kalamazoo County. Then I texted friends to do the same.

Think pink!

Proud Hoosier watching from Michigan. This band - Avon (Indpls suburb) - just won the Grand Nationals High School Marching Band competition for the second consecutive year.

Photo of an It’s Turkey Lurkey Time T-shirt from the musical Promises, Promises.

My Day-Before-Thanksgiving final prep shirt.

Yes, I know in the show it’s performed at an office Christmas Party by Misses Polansky, Wong, and Della Hoya, but I choose to wear it today!

Purchased at the Sean-Kristin revival.

Travel to my birthplace of Peru, Indiana the third week of July for the World’s largest amateur circus. I grew up hanging upside down from trapeze bars. I have no fear of heights. A 65+ year tradition. www.perucircus.com

A few more favorites.

Cover image of Barbra Streisand’s A Christmas Album.

Cover image (a drawing) of The Caroenters Christmas Portrait album

Cover image of the Christmas with Julie Andrews album.

Song list for the Christmas with Julie Andrew’s album.

All three of these are longtime favs. Julie’s includes old English carols not often heard today. And the first song I must hear on the day after Thanksgiving is Barbra’s Jingle Bells? The Carpenters’ album is basically one long medley.

Beacon Hill (1975) CBS’ attempt to do an American version of Upstairs, Downstairs. Great cast! Beatrice Straight, Nancy Marchand, Edward Herrmann, George Rose, etc.

Found the gif. Saved the gif. Uploaded the gif here. And it’s showing a still image. What did I do wrong?

A gif from the film All That Jazz with very short clips of Ann Reinking and Ben Vereen in the Bye Bye Love finale.

Lily is taking a break from keeping me safe by barking at everything outside the front windows and has joined in the back of the house. I am preparing food for game night with friends. Ticket to Ride and homemade patty melts. Squirrels, dogs on walks, and delivery drivers, you are on notice!
