My friend has a 5 year old daughter who is a delightfully funny and hellaciously tough little cookie. She just slays me. She is also apparently going to be Dorothy Parker when she grows up because my friend overheard this conversation as she dropped her daughter off at camp yesterday.

This is the same Celebration of Sondheim at Carnegie Hall that the Madeline Kahn "Not Getting Married" selection that I used was from.

I promised a list and here you go. The month is halfway over, but this list doesn't take a lot of time beyond some pondering. It's the same list that I published last year, so you may already have the table mentioned below made up. Just duplicate and start over. Your due date is August 1, when I will give you another list.

Here is a football-related post from the archives, August 2004: In a Ford Focus, on a highway far far away, the HP and I were having a conversation about football as we drove to the family mountain hide-away. Well, conversation might not be entirely accurate.

I didn't see it (opting for lighter fare, Hairspray, when I was in NY when it was playing), but PBS kindly taped it and I was able to watch that. The revival starred Raul Esparza and the musical itself is sly, HGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10754351693866913766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392133.post-4767659732500459152008-06-27T15:12:00.001-04:002008-06-27T15:12:41.401-04:00I *heart* NPH, Part the SecondHGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10754351693866913766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392133.post-17196764091218596632008-06-25T15:18:00.000-04:002008-06-25T15:19:09.676-04:00I *heart* NPH.

My little girls LOST.THEIR.SHIT. In fact, you'll notice that I don't have a photo of Puck because of the bunch I took of her watching the parade, I didn't get more than a random body part flailing in girly ecstasy.

They loved posing with the statues, below, and getting spit on by the giant Stitch over the Disney Store (the next-to and last photos). I got a beautifully done silhouette of the three girls, my souvenir for the trip.

They begged me to take pictures on the way through for their walls and this is the best of the lot. As you will see in the post to come, I didn't take a lot of photos overall as I was too busy enjoying myself. But I did get quite a few of this ride.
