    Was watching a UK vlogger's latest video about a recent 3-day trip to NYC. He went to see Death Becomes Her on Broadway. A glass of wine during intermission (in a take-home branded cup): $32!

    I don't think think the definition of sentient is ambiguous myself.

    @Axtremus No I retired from that several years ago. I've been a church organist of late although I miss trucking. I'll share some organ vids from time to time. Hope you are well. I'll tell Rach On! I said hi to you.

    I think we have one or both of them here. But they are a 5 mile or so drive from here compared to maybe a mile to our favored supermarket. We’re weirdos though, because the locals drive everywhere and that feels like a slog to us. I guess I should look at the prices to see if they’re worth the travel. Ms. RP used to drive to the Costco in Bayonne, NJ once a week for bulk items, but she’s even doing that less often these days.

    Speaking of Madonna, she was probably in the best shape of her career as a dancer and stadium performer at the time this video was made. Link to video I saw a live performance she gave in Italy around this time and it was great. Old person note: some of us are old enough to remember Times Square before it was gentrified. : leaving :

    It seems to me to be decorated the way new high end London apartments are decorated. The aspects that stood out the most to me were: the darkness of it (I don't mean gloom; I just mean darkness); New York apartments don't have this aesthetic,... and, the light fixtures looked to me like the ones you see in new high end London apartments.

    I have a daughter intending to relocate to Hokkaido later this year. I'm looking forward to visiting them and learning a tiny bit of the language.

    Looks great. I generally reject crockpot recipes too, and I also prefer them simpler rather than tricked out with fat.

    I associate croutons more with Caesar salad than soup. Oyster crackers or saltines are what I amend soup with more frequently. Dried bread cubes are most likely to become bread pudding or a strada in our home. Big Al

    @Bernard said in Musical Interlude — Dick Hyman: Wow. And he plays so much with his eyes closed. I wish had such good blind knowledge of the geography of the keyboard! I noticed that! No dramatic contortions either. Not to mention…isn’t he over 90 years old? Not too shabby.
