TRYING again!!! Ethel, please!

 I don't want to jinx it, but THIS Sunday (1/23/22) we will again attempt a Merman Birthday Celebration. Even if I have to ski there. Or sled. Or skate. I'm 100% healthy, I'm bundled, I'm (over) prepped. The cake is thawed, the confetti shredded, so cross your frozen fingers and let's do this. 

And remember, the first half is a musical "tour" of selected states/cities, so if you're not in an Ethel Mood, there's an hour of Non-Mermy stuff.
