Victorian nostrums and cure alls

When you are feeling like a blivet, mentally and emotionally, you go to your friends Flickr pages, and start pulling up their Dickens Fair pics.

Grinch or Pryactice

1. Will see what I feel up to: but reminder, Grinch the cartoon showing at the Varsity this afternoon and evening. Go to their website for the times. No, they don't take reservations. First mob, first shoveled in. (Actually, I don't know how much they get in crowds of any age.)

Tonight is also pryactice.

2. Some or a lot of hair needs to come off.

3. barnabas_truman: Flywheel Shyster and Flywheel on BBC, recreated from a radio series the Groucho and Chico once performed in the 30's. Look it up on Wikipedia; supposedly they paid Harpo a weekly salary for not performing. (What would he do? "Honk!")

For Lark Camp and other Folkies: Odetta

Odetta passed on at age 77.
