Ugh. That was painful. Wake up Panthers!

I liked that the Panthers' touchdown celebration was the hand jive.

I liked the marmot ad, but I had to ask what the product was.

Commercials are incredibly underwhelming so far although the Starman one was nice.

But she sounds amazing

I'm catching up on the DVR, but my problem with this is the productions values are really good... the show is way too big. This is Grease. It's a small show. It's being totally overwhelmed by production values.

I hear it's coming later in the show. Something to look forward to...I guess

Love my XM. Deep Tracks, Bluesville, Outlaw Country and the Broadway Channel are my top presets. Lately I've been listening to the 70s on 7, reliving my childhood (well, adolescence anyway...) Oh, and MLB. That's the reason I first got it. I also used to like XMPR when they had Bob Edwards. Then they fired him and dropped the channel. MLB is the only non-music channel I bookmark now. Only local radio I listen to is NPR and sports talk. And not really a lot of sports talk...it's kinda painful most of the time.

Nice article about Sutton in the NYT http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/28/fashion/sutton-foster-younger-tv.html?ref=arts

I think the non-premium orchestra seats are the same price as front mezz. I have seats in the 5th row, front mezz in August. I think those, or seats in the orchestra that aren't all the way over on the side would be fine. I say if you can snag a seat at regular price, snag it soon. Good luck!!

Flight and hotel booked! Tickets to 3 games bought! Making restaurant reservations this week. St Petersburg, first week of March, here we come!!!!

I'm no fan of the Patriots (although I do admit to hating Peyton Manning), but that is what I've wanted to see all season. And now that won't happen. Fuck.

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck. That is all

This Terps game is hard to watch...aesthetically... And basketball-wise, but mostly it's just hard to look at.

Not everyone has forgotten about it. There's nothing quite as satisfying as a life-long sports grudge... The reason I will never like Peyton - both teams he's played for have bad Baltimore history.

Thanks DeLurker! We dined at Le Tub last night and the burgers are everything they're promised to be! And they have probably the best fried I've ever had. Yummmmmm I'm heading up to Ft Lauderdale today to visit some local breweries - Funky Buddha in particular, but maybe one more. It's damp and cloudy today, so I'm not sure how much outside time I want. Tomorrow I'm planning to head down to Miami to take an Art Deco walking tour and maybe tour Marlins Park. So that leaves Thursday. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll report back!

Haven't been to Atlantic City since I was 15 - pre-casinos. Sorry... However, since you've resurrected this thread (thanks!), I'm in Hollywood (FL) this week. I've found nothing to do, and no interesting places to eat. If anyone has any hidden gems, please let me know. I do have a car and will drive to Miami for an Art Deco walking tour. I'm also going to a couple of breweries in Ft Lauderdale. Past that, I'm stumped...

The NYT on Denzel and his glasses: Wesley Morris On the bright side, Mr. Washington’s forgetting his glasses means this show just dodged 15 minutes!

I love Denzel, but it's not like he didn't know he was going to get this award. He might have been a bit more prepared...

The Packers have reverted to form...and so have the Taters. It's looking grim in TaterLand. Darn

More non info... http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/09/person-interest-final-season

The current closer? He seems eminently cuss-able... :-)

I don't know if there's another thread for In Performance at The White House, but I'm watching the new one with Buddy Guy, Audra McDonald, Keb Mo', Smokey Robinson and on and on... and it's wonderful. I'm amazed they fit so many people into an hour show. But it's a quality hour! The only thing I'm not fond of, and I found that to be true for the Gershwin Prize show, is the shots of the audience. They look so...awkward...bopping around in their seats. Try to catch this one at some point if you can.

There actually WAS an earthquake here in 2011 (the one that damaged the Washington Monument and Cathedral). Unfortunately (or not!), I was in Italy visiting my brother. So I missed it. To this day I can't forgive my boss for not taking a picture of the shelves before he ran out of the building in abject terror :-) My collection has grown quite a bit since April (a friend sent me a Roll Tide! 'head just today). I'll try to remember to take a new picture for your amusement. Or for my amusement.

As engaged as Cicely Tyson was, Carole King was totally into the whole show! That was lovely. And Aretha is a force of nature! She seems a million times better than the last time I saw her perform.
