I really wanted to stop, but we needed to make a few miles. I regret not taking the time as it seemed like a great place for wildlife watching. Hope you saw some neat animals!

  • Darn I missed Cream Puff Day yesterday! Well, I would not have been able to get the very best cream puff back home - from TBQ, the Hot Fudge Ice Cream Puff was so delicious there when I was a teenager. It was humungous and a real treat at about 1 or 2 in the morning! Down here in Phoenix, have no idea where I would go for something like that, so maybe it's a good thing (considering how caloric it must have been)! I'm back at work after being off for about 7 weeks due to medical leave, and so far I would like to have not come back. People are sick here *g* including my manager, so other than reading all the emails I received while away (and deleting 98% of them), I have no idea what I'm supposed to be working on.

      • Thanks, ladies. I've started this new med, Humira, for my Crohn's disease, and since it suppresses the immune system in order to work, it makes you rather susceptible to colds, infections, etc. I thought about a facemask, Becca, but think that working from home might be a better idea. However, since my boss is not in (because he's sick), I think it only right to wait until I talk to him and get his buy-in before I actually do it. Hopefully that will be tomorrow. So, yes, in the meantime, Lisa, I'll just take it easy. (NT) -- Ruthgold18, Thu, January 03 2013, 8:18:41
        • I know what you mean Ruth, Wilkies Bakery used to make the best creme puffs, made with real cream and drizzled with chocolate and caramel, - but only in cool months since they couldn't keep them in the open bakery cases in the warmth....sigh. Good news about the health, hope it all works out properly for you. (NT) -- jayn, Thu, January 03 2013, 8:32:28

  Today is
  
  Let’s Make A Deal Day. The game show premiered on NBC-TV on this date in 1963. Contestants dressed in kooky costumes competed for prizes by making deals with host Monty Hall. Some prizes were best left unwon.
  No Interruptions Day. People will be allowed to work and think creatively on the job and at home.
  The Festival of Enormous Changes At the Last Minute begins today.
  Think About Taking Down the Tree Day.
  Bobcat Appreciation Day.
  
  
  Can you see the bobcat? I was riding my bike and it jumped out right in front of me. I stopped and started talking to it and fumbling for my cell phone in my back pack to try and get a pic. It just sat there in the tall grass as if daring me to take the photo. Wish I had a proper camera. It was beautiful.

But the dream was taking place in the present, and I was conscious of this while dreaming. They had thrown me a surprise birthday party. It was one of the most wonderful dreams I've ever had!

  Bing and Bowie: An Odd Story of Holiday Harmony
  
  By Paul Farhi
  Washington Post Staff Writer
  Wednesday, December 20, 2006 (washingtonpost.com)
  
  One of the most successful duets in Christmas music history -- and surely the weirdest -- might never have happened if it weren't for some last-minute musical surgery. David Bowie thought "The Little Drummer Boy" was all wrong for him. So when the producers of Bing Crosby's Christmas TV special asked Bowie to sing it in 1977, he refused.
  
  Just hours before he was supposed to go before the cameras, though, a team of composers and writers frantically retooled the song. They added another melody and new lyrics as a counterpoint to all those pah-rumpa-pum-pums and called it "Peace on Earth." Bowie liked it. More important, Bowie sang it.
  
  The result was an epic, and epically bizarre, recording in which David Bowie, the androgynous Ziggy Stardust, joined in song with none other than Mr. "White Christmas" himself, Bing Crosby.
  
  In the intervening years, the Bowie-Crosby, "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy," has been transformed from an oddity into a holiday chestnut. You can hear it in heavy rotation on Christmas-music radio stations or see the performance on Internet video sites. First released as a single in 1982, it still sells today -- to add to its quirky afterlife, it's part of an album that's ranked as high as No. 3 on the Canadian charts this month. How did this almost surreal mash-up of the mainstream and the avant-garde, of cardigan-clad '40s-era crooner and glam rocker, happen?
  
  It almost didn't. Bowie, who was 30 at the time, and Crosby, then 73, recorded the duet Sept. 11, 1977, for Crosby's "Merrie Olde Christmas" TV special. A month later, Crosby was dead of a heart attack. The special was broadcast on CBS about a month after his death.
  
  The notion of pairing the resolutely white-bread Crosby with the exquisitely offbeat Bowie apparently was the brainchild of the TV special's producers, Gary Smith and Dwight Hemion, according to Ian Fraser, who co-wrote (with Larry Grossman) the song's music and arranged it.
  
  Crosby was in Great Britain on a concert tour, and the theme of the TV special was Christmas in England. Bowie was one of several British guest stars (the model Twiggy and "Oliver!" star Ron Moody also appeared). Booking Bowie made logistical sense, since the special was taped near his home in London, at the Elstree Studios. As perhaps an added inducement, the producers agreed to air the arty video of Bowie's then-current single, "Heroes" (Crosby introduced it).
  
  It's unclear, however, whether Crosby had any idea who Bowie was. Buz Kohan, who wrote the special and worked with Fraser and Grossman on the music, says he was never sure Crosby knew anything about Bowie's work. Fraser has a slightly different memory: "I'm pretty sure he did [know]. Bing was no idiot. If he didn't, his kids sure did."
  
  Kohan worked some of the intergenerational awkwardness into his script. In a little skit that precedes the singing, Crosby greets Bowie at the door of what looks like Dracula's castle (actually, it's a set that's supposed to be Crosby's rented London home). The conceit is that Bowie is dropping by a friend's house and finds Crosby at home one snowy afternoon.
  
  They banter for a bit and then get around to a piano. Bowie casually picks out a piece of sheet music of "The Little Drummer Boy" and declares, "This is my son's favorite."
  
  The original plan had been for Bowie and Crosby to sing just "Little Drummer Boy." But "David came in and said: 'I hate this song. Is there something else I could sing?' " Fraser said. "We didn't know quite what to do."
  
  Fraser, Kohan and Grossman left the set and found a piano in the studios' basement. In about 75 minutes, they wrote "Peace on Earth," an original tune, and worked out an arrangement that weaved together the two songs. Bowie and Crosby nailed the performance with less than an hour of rehearsal.
  And that was almost that. "We never expected to hear about it again," Kohan said.
  
  But after the recording circulated as a bootleg for several years, RCA decided to issue it as a single in 1982. It has since been packaged and repackaged in Christmas compilation albums and released as a DVD.
  
  It's still the most played Christmas duet on WASH-FM (97.1), airing once or twice a day when the station plays nothing but holiday music, said Bill Hess, WASH's program director. Hess likes how the two men blend their voices. The real clincher, he says, is Crosby, who has been associated with holiday music for generations. " 'White Christmas' really helps sell it," he says.
  
  Also among the song's fans is Roger D. Launius, who remembers watching the original Crosby TV special while he was a graduate student and the parent of two children, ages 1 and 3.
  
  "It was a very hectic time in my life, and the song was very peaceful and beautiful," says Launius, chairman of the space history division at the National Air and Space Museum. "I don't remember anything else about the special, but I remembered that song."
  
  Launius hadn't given it too much thought until about seven years ago, when his now-adult daughter sent him a Christmas CD. Among the selections was the Bowie-Crosby duet.
  
  The other day at his office, Launius checked the hard drive on his computer. Yep, there it was. With a couple of clicks, Launius let the warm harmony, and the memories, come flooding back.
  
  An awesome combination!
  
  
  
  And the grande finale............
  
  
  
  Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, everyone. :)

There is nothing better to come to the site and be greeted by lovely, fun songs this month. You're the best Judie!! (NT) -- Keira, Tue, December 25 2012, 9:59:34
  • The Bing and Bowie is great! I've always loved it. Thanks so much, Judie, for the music each day! (NT) -- Florence, Tue, December 25 2012, 11:08:54
  • Wow! I never knew about this duet. I have to confess, one thing John Waters and I have in common is we both absolutely hate "The Little Drummer Boy." So, I'll listen with interest to the Bing Bowie version. (I can't blame Mr. Bowie's initial resistance. I wouldn't have sung it without tweaking either!) I didn't realize Bing Crosby died so young! Somehow, you just think of him being up in his nineties. My dad knew Crosby personally and sang and played the accordion on his Decca recordings. We used to have dinner with him and his first wife Dixie in Palm Springs, but I was about four years old and don't remember it! (NT) -- Lemora, Tue, December 25 2012, 14:29:17

• Today! Rosemary Clooney sings and reminisces on Fresh Air, with Terry Gross, on your local NPR station! -- Lemora, Tue, December 25 2012, 14:33:13
  Catch this one tonight, everyone! Initially broadcast in 1997, from San Francisco's City Arts And Lectures, it's a gem. Hearing Rosie sing "I'll Be Seeing You" alone is worth it. She talks about when she and her sister, Betty, were teenagers traveling as the Girl Singers in the Big Band era. Priceless! I hope you can still get it in your area. It originally comes from WHYY in Philadelphia.

  It is the longest night of the year and now we begin our slow ascent towards the sun again. I hope the Mayans were right ~ I pray that we have reached the end of times as we know them and, leaving behind our dark and troubled history, covenant amongst ourselves to rise to our finest potential. With that thought, I wish all of you a warm hearth, joys of fruitful harvests, comfort of kith and kin and many, many blessings.

  • Yule Blessings to you, my dear friend. On this night and day of rebirth I echo your sentiments. If we at Lallybroch, with our diverse lives, attitudes, politics and religions can be so close, maybe there is hope for the world. I thought a lot last night about death and rebirth, the meaning it has had in my own life this year, and I confess I was only thinking of myself, but as my thoughts settled I said a prayer that everyone would find their own individual rebirths, whether big or small, and maybe if everyone tried to be better in just one small way the world would benefit.

  • At the risk of inserting some ribaldry here, my high school boyfriend insisted we'd get married on the winter solstice, since it was "the longest night of the year." (That was the hormones talking!) We didn't, of course, and I'm pretty sure he married his wife in July, LOL!! (NT) -- TerriC, Fri, December 21 2012, 7:50:28
    • Hmmm, I never really thought of the solstice like that, but you've got to give him points for trying :-) (NT) -- HollyC, Fri, December 21 2012, 12:11:17

  • I will confess I am in my real comfy baggy clothes-my Jammie's! I have been doing cards, wrapping (mostly making my gifts look great in tissue while I put them in gift bags). I had oatmeal for breakfast with raisins so that is my stand in for a muffin. I am resting now as my back pain has reared its ugly head. I will have to pace myself so on Christmas I will feel good. (NT) -- SheltieLass, Wed, December 19 2012, 11:54:10

  • I had this toy; it was about a foot and a half tall, bright colors, spiral racetrack with two tracks. All you did was race two marbles down it. Loved that thing, played with it over and over. My cousin had a larger model. I think her reaction was "meh." (NT) -- beccabee, Sun, December 16 2012, 4:41:33

  • Good morning Lallypals. Stupid toy? Clackers - 'nuff said. (NT) -- jayn, Sun, December 16 2012, 8:20:56
    • Sounds familiar but I can't quite remember - what are they??? (NT) -- beccabee, Sun, December 16 2012, 9:25:07
    • Oh, the bruises I got on my arms trying to play with those dang Clackers. Beccabee - they were two glass orbs connected by a cord. You would try to 'clack' them holding the cord in the middle and moving your arm up and down quickly. If you were fast it worked - if not they would hit your forearms and hurt like crazy. Yeah, they were definitely a stupid toy. (NT) -- Bandruidh, Sun, December 16 2012, 10:46:57
      • Never saw clackers. I was always beaning myself on the forehead with the rubber balls stapled to the wooden paddles. (NT) -- beccabee, Sun, December 16 2012, 12:57:02
