THIS AND THAT
This and That – Queen Elizabeth II and the Titanic.
Greetings! Mercy me, what a scoundrel I am! Rhonda and Alex invited me over for a grand Christmas Day luncheon. I got to meet her mother, Miss Sandra. We ate a delicious lunch, sipped on bubbly effervescent Mimosas, and laughed…
This and That – Merry Christmas from Charles Dickens and Me.
Greetings! Charles Dickens and I wish my dear family and friends a very Merry Christmas! Please don’t be a Scrooge and remember to keep Christ in Christmas. As the New Year dawns, please remember Tiny Tim’s yuletide greeting, “God bless…
This and That – A Mathematical Christmas Question.
Greetings! Help! I’m terrible with math. Is my addition correct? A garden hose + a nozzle + an open spigot + 23 degrees = A South Mississippi Ice Sculpture. What say ye? Later Frozen Christmas Gaters! (Originally posted December 24,…
This and That – A Modern-day Garbo.
Greetings! From experience, I know it takes me about a week to recuperate from the draining, emotional high that a play—especially a musical—conjures within me. During that time, the haunting words of Blanche DuBois in “A Streetcar Named…
This and That – A Little Bit of Broadway in Your Own Backyard.
Greetings, on this windy, bleak, rainy day. While going through my ancient theater scrapbook from 1969, I found this old KNS mailout for the 1993/1994 Coastal theatrical season — KNS THEATER, A Little Bit Of Broadway In Your Own Backyard!…
This and That – A Dream That Didn’t Come True.
This and That – I Dreamed a Dream! I first heard this song over 25 years ago while sitting in a darkened theater with friends. Christmas was just around the corner. Whenever I listen to it, I’m transported back in…
This and That – Lunch with a Dear Friend.
Greetings!. One of my favorite delights is having a meal with a dear friend, regardless of the time of day. Rhonda and I had lunch today at the Chimneys. Two and a half hours drifted by, overflowing with delightful conversation.…
This and That – Happy Birthday to the Birthday-Girl!
Greetings! Mercy me, what a delightful lunch with the Birthday-Girl! Delicious food at Ocean Springs’ Evergreen Restaurant. A Lemon drop martini…or two. And a cup of kindness yet, for the days of auld lang syne. Big hug, y’all! (Originally posted…
This and That – A Christmas Carol Remembrance.
The snap I’ve posted shows Scrooge’s little world for the past two weeks. Neatly arranged—of course—are the accouterments of his trade, after all. The old boy did his best to entertain the audiences that nightly filled the theater to overflowing.…
This and That – I was a Lit’ Rascal, too!
Greetings! Oh! How I loved this “gang” of kids. Loved it when they went to the haunted house. Soooooo funny! There’s something else that’s likable about the Hal Roach movie shorts that ran from 1922 to 1944. In a segregated…
This and That – A Bright Spot on a Dreary Day.
Greetings! Louie and I put up our little tree. It’s a bright light on this dreary day. He’s putting up his Christmas regalia, but it’s not finished. Oy vey! I can only imagine what he’ll come up with. 😂 Stay…
This and That – Come Hither Santa Baby.
Greetings! Well, I’m waiting for Santa Baby to grant all my Christmas wishes. However, as a child, I don’t remember Santa being this wide. (LOL!) Later Christmas Gaters! (Originally posted December 1, 2021)
