Sadly, I just read that the last surviving munchkin from the 1939 movie classic, The Wizard of Oz! He passed away at the age of 98 years young; God Bless him. Jerry Maren was one of the Munchkins of the "Lollipop Guild", he handed Dorothy the lollipop in the movie.
Gosh, I just love that movie!
Gosh, I just love that movie!
I just walked into my hotel room (left the TV on), and Christmas Vacation is on BBC America!
That's what I call perfect timing!
Whoa!!!! That's intense! Glad no one got hurt or killed in that fire.
Good evening folks. I'm always glad to get to this point in the work week, the downside of the Wednesday hump! It was a long day, and I'm glad to be home, relaxing, sitting here now, watching David on QVC with the Corkeys Ribs guy! Man, those baby-back ribs look soooo good. I've had dinner, but wow, are they giving me the urge to go raid the refrigerator.
Man, I'm beat tonight, it was a really long, stressful and weary day today for me at the office, my brain feels fried. I think when you have a stressful day, I think it wears you out more so, than just any ordinary other day. I'm looking forward to the bed tonight and as a matter of fact, i'm going to head in that direction now.
Goodnight folks.

Sorry for the crappy video
Morning MMC! Hoping for a nice weather day here. I haven't turned the a/c on since Saturday which is a pretty good stretch for June to get a break from heat and humidity. Looks like a nice day out and just going to buy my favorite lunch. Seeing the kids going to school in June hit me yesterday thinking they just started school in September and somehow the school year is ending in the next 2 weeks. Unreal. Have a great day!

He was also in “It Came Upon the Midnight Clear,” a Christmas movie from 1984.

I met Jerry Maren about 15 years ago here in Raleigh at, of all places, a Christmas show, downtown. He and others with him were selling autographed copies of a book. We briefly talked about the movie but his main concern was that the actors who portrayed the Munchkins were not getting any residuals from the movie and they were having to go to these events and sell books to make money. Sad, but my understanding is they had a choice back in 1938 and they decided on taking a salary in lieu of residuals. Don't know if that is correct or not.

Good Morning, Post-'Piners!
Post-'Pines, but Pre-Milestone by only ONE DAY!
Let's look at the new numbers before we turn our attention to the exciting Milestone marker news.
Days to the Season: 159
Days to Christmas Day: 201
And the discerning among us will quickly deternine that TOMORROW, we will be opening the 200-Day Christmas Day Window onto a Countdown landscape dominated by only "1"'s for first digits.
(Wowzers, indeed!)
Our weather continues nice, with no rain and humidity at tolerable levels.
Today we should be in the mid-80's with a low chance of precipitation.
Our current thermometer reading is 66 degrees, here.
Have a Thoroughly Thrilling Thursday, Foks.
And an Exciting Expectation of Weekend Eve, tomorrow!
