One of our favourite EVER films is Priscila Queen Of The Desert. Though watching it you could realise why Aussies don't like Drag Queens? When we were there in 1993 Mrs CP was not even welcome in the pub.
Do you include the great Barry Humphries in that? We have tickets for the wonderful man in May
Dame Edna played the theatre where I worked many years ago (the show was there many years ago, and I worked there for many years, many years ago). He really is a very friendly, nice person.

Blonde on Blonde. The White Album. Electric Ladyland. Exile on Main St. Sign O' the Times. All in the conversation with Physical Graffiti. The Wall...not so much.
All of these (also minus The Wall) plus, for me:
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Jesus Christ Superstar
Judy at Carnegie Hall
Benny Goodman at Carnegie Hall

Plus a $91 service charge per ticket. No thanks, Sir Macca.
It was actually $91 for 2 tickets. I figured out they're charging a percentage of the total ticket price instead of the (also ridiculous) flat fee of somewhere between $10 an $20 per ticket like they used to. So the better (more expensive) seats have even more ridiculous fees. I'm still pissed off about it.

Anytime Esther. I don't need to ask you to bring a bottle?
I'll happily bring a case! 🍷

Rob Manfred is the worst person in the world. I don't understand why they have a commission who hates baseball.

Wonderful. Yes I did brown the meat first:
Well season the Brisket. In the frying pan add a good glug of olive oil. Sear the meat on all sides. Put in the cooker. I browned Onion, Carrot, Celery and a few cloves of garlic in the frying pan. Add to the meat. 1 Ltr of Beef stock , a good splash of Worcestershire sauce and a small glass of red wine goes in with a herb selection of Rosemary, Thyme and Bay Leaves. Cooked on low for 10 hours. Remove the meat to a warm serving plate and keep warm. Squeeze all the veg through a sieve with the stock into a pan. Reduce the gravy adding a roux of flour and butter if it needs to thicken.
I've just added "have cp cook dinner for me" to my bucket list. Yummmmmmmmmmmm
Actually, I added it a long time ago. One day, when I'm traveling again...

If by 'tropical fruit'/'pineapple' you mean marijuana/pot, then yes. Guess you never saw the movie "Pineapple Express"?
Damn... guess the sarcasm font wasn't working

We were fine. It got a bit hairy in the afternoon. Roof still on and garden in tact
The most important thing! Happy to see you made it through safely!!

I love Buck.
And Rick, the home team is not always in one dugout. It depends on the stadium. In Memorial Stadium, the Os were in the third base dugout. In Camden Yards, the first base side. So you should check before you buy tickets in each stadium.

Good grief @chillumpuffer- you and Mrs. cp take care please!! Good thing you're stocked up on the essentials - fingers crossed your house holds up. All my best thoughts coming your way!!

Pretty good 1st half from both teams. I suppose these last 2 quarters will determine whether this will be one of the all-time great games...
As usual, the commercials are beyond lame... 😑
Oh come on, Paul! A few of them were really funny. Just a few
I did love the Chevy-Sopranos commercial.

I've never been to Ft. Lauderdale, so I had to google Tom Jenkins. Just looking at the photos would suggest they are 2 different franchises....
If you ever get to Ft Lauderdale, definitely drop by Tom Jenkins. It's soooooo good.

Today's breakfast was scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, cream cheese, sherry wine and scallions, with grilled rosemary potatoes and bagels and cream cheese, hot English Breakfast tea w/lemon and honey, and orange juice.
This is a perfect meal. Except for the tea. I'd go with coffee.

Lunch at Jenkins Barbecue really hit the spot...
Is that any relation to Tom Jenkins BBQ in Ft Lauderdale? That place is fab!!

Why didn't Washington just go with Comanches? Then they could have kept the Indian logo on their helmets.
They should have kept Redskins and changed the logo to a potato (ha ha... I know). I've been calling them the Taters for a loooong time. Until they made it so easy with WTF

I love Beth Hart. I've seen her twice in concert and she performed at the Zeppelin Kennedy Center Honors, although she did the Buddy Guy tribute, not LZ. She's fab and I'm looking forward to this release.

I don’t know how you can even watch that show. Skip Bayless was unbearable back in the 90’s when I first saw him the Sunday “Sports Reporters” show.
This!! It pains me that Rick Bayless has to acknowledge that Skip is his brother. Blech.
Well, perhaps "pains me" is a bit of hyperbole. Rick is talented. Skip is not.

David Ortiz. That is all.
Really, he's the only one going to the Hall this year.

Bye bye Green Bay.
Woohoo!!
A pretty good outcome for both games today.

I don't know if it will be settled in time for Spring Training, but I think there will be at least some regular season. At least I hope so, since it's the 30th anniversary of Camden Yards.
Hey, if I can't be excited for the team, I may as well be excited for the ballpark

Thanks for nothin' Raiders...

That's beautiful!! I'm sure you all enjoyed it.
My best to Mrs. Walter and Walter Jr!! 😘
