I have not yet visted our IKEA, despite having a $50 gift cert. to there, as it is insane and packed with crazed deal-seeking Minnesotans and Wisconsinites.

I spent Monday afternoon in Juliana's IKEA and can attest to the accuracy of her description.

If I only had a brain...

Dana, Jerry Orbach was the first El Gallo, I'm pretty sure.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, yeah, definitely. My parents have the OCR.

Sniffle. All my heroes are dying. I got the Lost Treasures of Broadway DVD, and it has killer footage of Orbach doing "The Lullaby of Broadway" from 42nd Street.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Dude, you are one brave soul. I would have come down and brought you a drink if I had known you were so close.

Betsy, you are correct: Orbach created the role of El Gallo in the off-Broadway milestone “The Fantasticks.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw him in 42nd Street, back in the day.

My parents have the OCR.

I read this as Optical Character Recognition and was mightily confused for a minute.

I don't believe IKEA exists. It's like I live in the world without Swedish meatballs and SLUGIS boxes.

They have the old-fashioned biochemical kind.

Speaking of which, off to the eye doctor for eyelid torture.

What is even happening?

Oh, Betsy. I hope you're told you're all done with this, soon.

Rest in peace, Jerry Orbach.
