But I'll scratch it iffen you'd like.

Not at all! Like there isn't anyone who knows that. Em gets "You Are My Sunshine", "Puff", "Yesterday", "What's Up, Pussycat"(with Emeline subbed in for Pussycat), and "Leaving On A Jetplane".

I have decided I liked it better the other week when I forgot about Desperate Housewives and watched celebrity poker instead.

My whole family sings all the time. In fact, my mother's upcoming Big Deal Birthday party is going to be a singing party.

And now I have a shitload of groceries, including everything for many fabulous salads...except lettuce. Ah well.

Empress, have you heard the song "Ford Econoline"?

I have not. I must.

We mostly watch stuff together, but we are a one TV home, and his shows are mostly my shows anyway. I watch things he doesn't watch when he's not around - our work schedules are offset so I have an hour or two on my own in the afternoon.

I don't think Mom ever sang a morning song to us. But she would wake me up with "Good Morning Merry Sunshine!"

She had songs for just about everything else though: making the bed, picking up the toys, to remember our address and phone number. Two decades later and I still know the address and phone number.

And the cheerfully wry snarkitude.

:nods: I've watched reruns of Wings and other projects of Tim Daly's before, but I had no idea he was so good at snarky comedy or could be so friggin' attractive. Rwrror. Other pluses: some major hints at darkness, and a character who's gay without having his sexuality define his whole character. It's early yet, so I'm not sure whether I'd put it in "My show!" camp, but it definitely has promises.

I sing "One" to Emeline.

Err, "One" by Aimee Mann? (I think it was a cover but can't remember whose song it was originally.) Because I have this mental image of Aimee singing "One" by Metallica to little Emeline, and it's cracking me up.

We watch most shows together because we mostly have the same taste in television, but there are a few that belong only to one of us. (I have my Iron Chef and America's Test Kitchen, he has his PoweR Girls and Surreal life.)

Err, "One" by Aimee Mann? (I think it was a cover but can't remember whose song it was originally.) Because I have this mental image of Aimee singing "One" by Metallica to little Emeline, and it's cracking me up.

Okay, that's cracking my shit up too, now.

But I suspect it's the song "One" from A Chorus Line

"One! Singular sensation! Every little step she takes...."

Err, "One" by Aimee Mann? (I think it was a cover but can't remember whose song it was originally.) Because I have this mental image of Aimee singing "One" by Metallica to little Emeline, and it's cracking me up.

Metallica isn;t until after her first birthday. "One" from A Chorus Line. As in singular sensation. Every little step she takes.

Vonnie, I assumed "One" from A Chorus Line.
