As always, I sent my yearly letter to my congressman, urging him to support making January 16th a Federal Holiday. He doesn't even respond anymore.
However, I've also sent an e-mail to the post office urging themn to issue a HELLO, DOLLY! commemorative stamp. I haven't heard back from them.
We can all celebrate this great day by wearing Gallagher Levi red tomorrow. I'm providing all my co-workers with a luncheon and they've all promised to wear red.
Happy Dolly Day Everyone!

I'll watch the movie AND Jerry Herman's Broadway tomorrow! Okay, I'm going to have to listen to the Carol Channing Deluxe Cast Recording on my iPod while I work out tomorrow, too.
We need a revival starring Angela Lansbury!!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I suddenly feel so old, but I can still remember the thrill of first seeing Channing's performance, hearing Herman's score and drooling at Champion's incredible Staging.

Yay Dolly!!!
Why do I never grow tired of this show? LOVE IT!
"Now she wants to know WHY, if I'm so fabulous, I would WANT to take care of her child.....I answer with as much filigree and insouciance as I can muster, trying to slightly cock my head like Snow White listening to the animals. She, in turn, is aiming for more of a Diane-Sawyer-pose, looking for answers which will confirm that I am not there to steal her husband, jewelry, friends, or child. In that order."

Barely a day goes by that I don't listen to one of the many recordings of the show.
A day without DOLLY! is a day without sunshine.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DOLLY!

I've missed a chance to see Victoria Clark and Lenora Nemetz do Dolly because I didn't get the show until after they had closed the productions.
Oh well. Happy Dolly Day, everyone!
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Perhaps you should contact the same party you are soliciting for the "Immacuate Conception" Holy Day excused abscence. Then you could have a dual celebration; one for Mary on Dec. 8th and one for Saint Dolly Day on Jan.16th.
Happy Dolly Day! Take photos of your group in red for us.

Yup, made a nice lunceon for my co-workers and just got back from a nice dinner at the Pine Grove Inn--a German restaurant that could easily pass for the Harmonia Gardens!
What a happy day!
