Just watched this and really enjoyed it. I love both George and Dave talking about their childhoods. Loved George's story about putting stones in his shoes and jumping off the top bunk. The Clooney family seems totally grounded and incredibly selfless. The young man they took into their family was charming. I hope everything works out for him. This seems like a great format for Dave.

"You're more like a TED Talk set to music" I had to write that down because it's hilarious and I have no memory and don't want to forget it...

I did not score Elton John tickets for September, but there's still plenty of time for more tickets to be released, or people to panic and sell their tickets for somewhat cheaper than they're trying to get now. However, I did score tickets to see Robert Plant in June - yay!! And...Mavis Staples at the Kennedy Center in May - I'm totally psyched about that!!!! Got me to thinking that a Plant-Staples show would be fabulous.

I have no problems on bridges. The Sunshine Skyway from St Pete to Bradenton and Sarasota is lovely! Also built high enough so boats can pass. Can't wait to get there in a couple of weeks for Spring Training! Roller coasters, otoh... not a chance. We went to Kings Dominion on a work picnic one summer and my co-workers lied to me and told me this ride wasn't like a roller coaster at all. And, of course, Mr ebk did nothing to correct them. I was not happy. (I'd tell you which ride it was, but I've put all the ugly details out of my head!). I actually love the Staten Island Ferry. You can see the lovely skyline of NY, and the lovely Lady Liberty...and it's free! Why pay for an expensive harbor cruise!!

Alec Baldwin is doing a Sunday night talk show on ABC. The pilot (which they didn't intend to air) is on right now. First guest is Jerry Seinfeld. Kate McKinnon will be coming up soon. Alec does good talk shows.

Took my sister out for her birthday at an Afghan restaurant in Baltimore. We had appetizers that included pumpkin and lamb and beef, but I couldn't tell you the names of the dishes. For an entree I had the Shalgham Challow - sweet and spicy slow cooked lamb with fresh turnips in ginger sauce served over rice with a side dish of spinach. It was fabulous!

Thanks for another fun evening! On to the Tonys!!

Only if he's the luckiest guy in the world.

Both of those sound like terrible choices. I hope you have wine!

I love Frances!!!!

No such thing!!!

OMG, Helen and Jane look incredible!!!

Really? You let an earthquake interrupt your Oscar watching?? :-) Hope everything is okay.

Nice speech, but because I'm a nit-picker, it was George M Cohan that used that quote. James Cagney was just quoting him.

That was a great picture they used of him.

He is not doing the music. So he'll have to win for his acting... sigh... maybe next time.

Lin!!!

Not a chance

Jordan Peele - woohoo!!!

She does. She just doesn't look like I remember Mira looking.

This. I kept looking at the name ID and thinking that can't be Mira...

This is beautiful - love Common and Andra!!

"smattering of applause" Love Dave!

Don't know if there's any significance, but it's making me very happy!

Awww... we're being thanked. Although I must fess up - the only reason I saw one movie this year (Three Billboards) is because my best friend wanted to do...something...
