Another Opening Another Show
There we were yesterday at the opening of the show called 2011 whose first day most of us pretty much wasted, at least I hope we did. I know I wasted it - after a brief misguided attempt at scrubbing the mildew off the shower curtain that is. I took the whole thing down, immersed it in the tub, sprayed it with bleach-laced Tilex - only to realize I was also bleaching my nice black jersey instead, turning it white in comical concentric circles right in the two key leaning-over the tub places. Aargh!I also continued my crotchety observance of Festivus, the Airing of Grievances part if not the Feats of Strength part, by entering the names on my hard drive of everyone I sent a Christmas card TO with the idea that today I will go through the cards themselves and list all the people I got cards FROM and then I’ll see who my friends are. It may be that I’m getting a tad odd - because I also feel feel surges of resentment when I write someone an email and they don’t answer. I want to hunt them down where they sleep and hold their nostrils shut til they snort like a snuffleupagus – and yet how many emails remain unanswered in my own Inbox? 111 at last count. It’s weird: When I get a super-nice email I almost can’t answer it right away and there's another sad truth too: I can’t type worth a damn and my Dragon 10 Speech Recognition Software quit on me more than a month ago. I did get Dragon 11 as a Christmas present but you have to train it to recognize your accent and seriously folks is there anyone who gets the Boston accent right off the bat? Every time I say the word ‘dark’ it writes ‘dock’!But more on that later. Right now it’s the first Sunday in a shiny new year. The sun isn’t even up yet and I’m already attempting to dye that poor double-bull's-eyed jersey black again and then who knows? Maybe church which is always fun and cool. I sit in the balcony these days and get tears in my eyes just looking down at the tops of all those little heads. (Like I say: odd.) But speaking of balconies and Muppets how about a rendition of that great old Cole Porter song by a few of the best? WITH a quick cameo by the best Muppets ever, those lovable old codgers Statler and Waldorf? Gotta love 'em![youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8HUgAK5i-M]
