Under the weather

I've not been a bundle of energy lately due to a nasty cold I can't seem to shake off!  Last cold I had was almost 3 years ago.  This has been going on a week although I went out several times & tried to get stuff done for Christmas etc.  Not serious enough to worry about but I don't want to get bronchitis for the hols so I decided to take it easy for now.  My thinking is foggy tho so I'm not going to post very much tonite.

I think it's great Led Zeppelin was honored at the Kennedy Centre for their lifetime contribution to American Arts - at the White House.  Also David Letterman, Dustin Hoffman, and Buddy Guy.  Kudos, guys!!  I'm glad Natalia Makarova was honored, a ballerina of highest skill & art. I could just imagine sitting at her table at the dinner with such highly artistic cultured people, wow.  Or at Led Zep's table would be nice. They were the elegant British gentlemen in their tuxedo jackets. Sweet!  Honestly the dinner seemed noisy and crowded at the event, what I saw on YouTube - more space would have been appropriate but maybe that's just my cold & fever talking.  Here's a pic of the honorees

Finally Barbara Stanwyck is being featured at Turner Classic Movies this month - a marathon of Barbara movies each Wednesday and some on Thursday.  She is so versatile, beautiful, elegant and super inspiring to me.  Fortunately when I got sick last week I was able to sit with my box of tissues and honey Earl Grey decaf tea last Wednesday Dec 5th, watch and record Barbara of the 1930's and 40's, my fave era of her movies.

Oh my, that's all I can write tonite.  Here's a pic of Barbara Stanwyck, who helps everything look brighter and more beautiful in life.
