I watched that. It was a different take on Rose than I've seen before. She almost seemed unhinged at times. I'm still trying to decide how I feel about it.

Way back in the late 70s, Mr. Vaughn did a one-man show about FDR that played the theatre where I worked for a couple of weeks. A lovely man.

The West End production of Gypsy is starting now on PBS. I haven't read anything about it, so I have no idea it it's any good.

Have fun!! We'll still be here when you get back. I hope.............. Let's not get crazy now. Clean??

I first read this as William Shatner and was trying to figure out which episode that quote came from... Still going out to drink Italian wine tonight. My brother in Italy says I can come live with him, but I think we'll be okay...at some point. And for the folks who were worried and haven't listened to the news today (I didn't turn it on until about an hour ago), the market was up bigly today. So go ahead and open those Vanguard emails. We're okay in that department, at least for today.

It did get better. I wasn't into it at the beginning either (just finished watching), but by the end, I decided I wouldn't delete it from the DVR because I think I want to watch the second half again. Stephen is so thoughtful. The closing monologue was from the heart.

I'm exhausted, so I'm going to try to sleep. Thanks for the company, all. We'll get through this. We have to.

I'm glad I'm here with you all. I cannot formulate any coherent thoughts tonight and you're all helping me through. My SIL in Australia has called and she's mortified. My brother in Italy is horrified. I'm numb. But not numb enough that I don't want to slap Chris Matthews right in the face. He's blaming Hillary for not talking about illegal immigration. Oy vey...

Fuck that noise. Get a gun. That's what Stand Your Ground is for! I'm practicing...

Feel free to come over to my house and continue your stress-relieving cleaning...

That's the beauty of wine - you don't have to drink it all at one time. The second bottle will only get better if you let it rest for...another day (or week, or even a couple of years) Just got home and sat down, so want to say hi to all. I have Tempranillo now (champagne for later!) Now I will go back and read all the posts. Yay!!

Renee Montagne is leaving NPR's Morning Edition this week. They reran this story this morning. It's lovely. It might calm the nerves. http://www.npr.org/2016/11/08/501057578/encore-renee-montagne-remembers-a-legendary-hawaiian-voice

I want to upvote this a million times!!

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I keep asking myself how we ended up with a Republican governor. Then I remember who the Dems nominated...

Also Maryland. We're practically neighbors!

About champagne - in addition to the wonderful suggestions already put out, I'm a big fan of Gruet (from New Mexico!), Mumm and Gloria Ferrer. I believe they all sell bottles in the $20 range.

I have reservations for an Italian wine tasting on Wednesday night. Because...wine...

Because - Hamilton!!

Mr ebk does phone banks and door-knocking. He knows better than to ask me to go with him because my default line to anyone who doesn't see the light is "what are you - stupid???" I do the best I can...

...about an hour ago.

Every Friday, here in the office, it's Beer:00, usually at 4 (but ya know, it's always after 4 somewhere!)

Abide by the two-term limit? Really?? She has never been elected, or served as President. You're really stretching there.

Never hesitate to buy and drink champagne - for any reason! I always have a bottle or two on the wine rack...just in case...of anything. Not to belabor the point, but I'm listening to "Hamilton" again. And again. It helps.

There's the champagne!
