Quote of the day:

My memory about names and places now is dreadful. But lines, I can remember.
—Angela Lansbury

Yesterday it seemed the world was about to end, didn’t it?

Looked as though it wouldn’t last out the year.

Yesterday disaster waited around the bend–
Well, my friend,
Look what’s here.

I did very little baking over the summer, and things were out of hand.
But now that the weather has cooled off, now things are under control,
I’m rolling out the dough,

To keep the status quo,
Per-ma-nen-tly so.

I’m back again like a boomerang,
I’m back in business with a bang!

Let the good times roll!

[In case it isn’t clear, that’s me doing a line dance high kick. That I can’t get my kick much higher than my knee is probably due to my arthritis. Yeah, that must be it. When the arthritis clears up, I’ll be high kicking with the best of them again. Anyway, I didn’t mean to interrupt the flow of the song…  ]

No more doom and gloom.
No more bust, just boom!

Back in business, and overnight,
And my mother’s shoo fly pie— 
In your eye!

Business is just dynamite!

Let. The. Good times. Roll!

[With apologies to Mr. Sondheim.]

Here are Liza Minnelli and Billy Stritch to show how it should be done:
