I normally hate 3-D glasses, but when the "sky people" torched the forest, and sparks floated persuasively enough into the auditorium to have me briefly worrying about the hair of the woman sitting in front of me, I decided I was on-board. npr.org/2022/12/15/114

A cousin just found a photo of my grandparents from about 40 years before I met them. Mary was in her late 60s when I was a kid, and Filadelfo was in his 80s and had had a stroke, and frankly, I'd never tried to imagine them in the fresh bloom of youth. Great Christmas present!

Oh, what a beautiful perk."
Would love to have reviewed that production of OKLAHOMA!

...and now, a Golden Globe nomination to go with it. Not bad for an actor who claims "I really suck at doing auditions."

Nothing like one of the world's richest men ridiculing something as simple and harmless as pronouns that are meant to support some of the most vulnerable and discriminated people. Trans rights are human rights.

CINE-NOSTALGIA writ large this holiday season.

BABYLON: Hollywood in the Roaring Twenties.
And now Sam Mendes' EMPIRE OF LIGHT, set almost entirely inside a grand old movie palace. npr.org/2022/12/08/114

Just posted my BOURBON BALL recipe on post.news because I can put the whole recipe in one post. (Since I started playing on that site (a friendlier twitter) I've grown impatient with 280 characters.)

Love what they did for art with my shortbread recipe on "What's Making Us Happy" npr.org/2022/12/02/113 -- a pic of my mom superimposed over a pic of her two holiday specialties: shortbread and bourbon balls.

Realized after we published that there was a much better headline:

A Sondheim musical that no one's heard in 74 years in a "live" 1948 recording with 18-yr-old Steve Sondheim at the keyboards. Hear how the young prodigy was -- before his career even started -- putting it together, bit by bit

Great talking FABELMANS with and , and afterwards, they let me natter on about holiday treats, salted butter, and shortbread. In short, a verrrrrrry happy "What's Making Me Happy."

The 2018 novel was based on actual incidents, which makes WOMEN TALKING all the more harrowing. But it doesn't need the help. Anyone clear-eyed about the world today will recognize the truths that these women are talking.

Had such a ball chatting with at the fest a while back, and the very first thing she tells on -- "I really suck at auditions" -- instantly reminded me why.

Always wondered what the inside of a real bank vault looked like. I pictured stacks of cash and gold bars (I’m a child of Hollywood).
The Takoma BofA branch closed, and vendors are using it as a holiday gift mart. Some very cool stuff, but I have to say the vault is the coolest.

Thank you for your compliments on the thread. But please read the essay, not just the screencaps. No paywall, because this is information that should be freely available to all.

Simmered most of the day and finally the gobbler carcass is soup. Six quarts with a whole lot of turkey plus veggies and barley.
After sitting patiently as our quality control observer (not a crumb of anything got past her for hours), Kati’s now helping with cleanup.

Time for Thanksgiving-adjacent pleasures: turkey soup, turkey salad, turkey sandwiches.
A spatchcocked turkey comes apart really easily. Can't believe all the times I just tossed the bones. I want about 30 years of turkey carcasses back for do-overs (not to mention leftovers).

Spatchcocked the bird, hung out with friends, put up Xmas lights, dined well but not too much....
Good day all around. Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm not consumed with "hate" for Musk and don't really think of him in terms of politics. What I do hate, honestly -- in politics, in business, as an ethic -- is the celebration of treating people badly. It's corrosive, ugly, pointless, and a path to failure and unhappiness.
