“That’s cold” can mean different things.
.
However, I think we can agree on this:
That’s cold.
Do you see anything that’s cold in my other images for today?
.
I thought “that’s cold” when I was listening to “Now You Know” from Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along yesterday.
.
Thanks to everyone who is here for this “that’s cold” post, including YOU!
What I know, here and now, includes the following:
What I don’t know, here and now, includes the following:
I know that Bugles have way too much saturated fat but I didn’t know they were America’s #1 finger hat. Now I know.
I know I love this Stephen Sondheim song (which you may or may not know from a six-month-old blog post).
Today I could choose to see a Stephen Sondheim musical at a local university and/or work on my taxes. I don’t know what I’m going to do.
I know this: I could do both. I’ll let you know tomorrow.
I don’t know what I would do without the people who help me write this blog. I know I appreciate all of them, including YOU.
“Now You Know” from Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along has been running through my head a lot lately. Now you know.
If you didn’t know Lucia Spina is a great interpreter of Sondheim tunes, now you know.
Now You Know
by Stephen Sondheim
All right, now you know:
Life is crummy.
Well, now you know.I mean, big surprise:
People love you and tell you lies.
Bricks can tumble from clear blue skies.
Put your dimple down,
Now you know.Okay, there you go —
Life is crummy,
Well, now you know.It’s called flowers wilt,
It’s called apples rot,
It’s called thieves get rich and saints get shot,
It’s called God don’t answer prayers a lot,
Okay, now you know.Okay, now you know,
Now forget it.
Don’t fall apart at the seams.
It’s called letting go your illusions,
And don’t confuse them with dreams.If the going’s slow —
Don’t regret it,
And don’t let’s go to extremes.
It’s called what’s your choice?
It’s called count to ten.
It’s called burn your bridges, start again.
You should burn them every now and then
Or you’ll never grow!Because now you grow.
That’s the killer, is
Now you grow.You’re right, nothing’s fair,
And it’s all a plot,
And tomorrow doesn’t look too hot —
Right, you better look at what you’ve got:
Over here, hello?
Okay, now you know,Now you know!
Now you know the lyrics to “Now You Know.”
Yesterday morning, I visited the amazing home of Jane Hoffmann. If you didn’t know that Jane is the wonderful real estate agent who helped us buy our new home, now you know.
Now you know you can put blackboard paint on your walls, like Jane did. I love it.
This blog post is for you Jane, for me, and for all my readers, too.
Now you know.

One thousand, two hundred and forty-five days ago, I wrote another blog post titled “Facial Expressions.” My facial expression would be happy if you read that blog post. Heck, my facial expression would be happy if you read any of my blog posts.
Yesterday, I drew this facial expression:
Pointing to the bottom face, I asked my boyfriend Michael if he knew who that was. His first tentative guess was “Me?” My facial expression, in response to that, was probably disbelief, because I have never seen that expression on Michael’s face. His second guess, which was correct, was somebody we both know.
How would you describe that facial expression? It’s the expression I most dread seeing on other people’s faces.
I wonder what expressions were on my face, just now, when I realized that most of my other photos from yesterday show facial expressions.
To improve my facial expressions recently, I’ve been listening to the score of “Merrily We Roll Along” by Stephen Sondheim (whose facial expression can be found here). Here‘s a “Merrily We Roll Along” YouTube video that shows many facial expressions.
Those were the facial expressions I saw TWICE on the stage of the Huntington Theater in Boston. Now you know.
I hope you know that all expressions are welcomed, below.
My facial expression, here and now, is gratitude for all who helped me create this post and — of course! — for YOU.
