My second worst Macy's/holiday related highlight (the other being about a decade later, when the beggar with only eye sockets and no glasses on was competing against the Salvation Army bell ringer stationed outside the Broadway entrance.

To be fair, though, she was alive during the first Christmas.

Seeing the Macy's parade in person is on my bucket list.<br /><br />Been watching/ listening to lots of Sondheim again lately. (My first writing aspiration as a child was to be like him. But there's only one him.) <br /><br />And now,just like Black Friday starting on Wednesday, I'm getting an early start on Friday Questions. What do you think of Fox suing this writer for sharing scripts online? http://tinyurl.com/2bd6kfw<br /><br />Does it bother you if nerd writers like us want to read your scripts to see how to do it - so that the same nerd writers can someday write for Fox and make loathsome Rupert Murdoch even richer? (OK, I've probably shown my own bias in that question.)amyp3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15749860471251983915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-36930135864445729882010-11-29T07:56:57.760-08:002010-11-29T07:56:57.760-08:00Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is...Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is always fun... I'm just waiting for the year that they decide to inflate Willard Scott and turn him into a balloon.... I can see all those Macy's volunteers, straining at the guy wires to pull him down Broadway while he's up there about four stories high yelling "With a name like Smucker's, it HAS to be -- oh, shit, I just hit a light pole!" ... And with a loud gaseous exhaust of helium, he plummets to earth, landing right on top of the NBC reporters' stand, inflicting mass destruction and carnage, and leading to a new opening sequence the on the network the following morning: "This is the TODAY show, with NBC News senior correspondents, Kathie Lee and Hoda".... Yeah, I think that would be fun to watch...Tom Quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959628996361620134noreply@blogger.com
