I am pleased to welcome the Carol Channing doll to this blog. Carol stopped by to visit with Dr Wang today to spend time getting to know one another. Dr Wang greeted Miss Channing by singing a few verses of "Hello Dolly". Carol responded by reciting a few lines from her famous stage role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: "A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but diamonds are a girl's best friend..." Dr Wang was happy to have the Carol Channing doll as a new best friend. The Carol Channing doll arrived early Wednesday, via FedEx to my office and was immediately introduced to a few co-workers, which prompted questions about my sanity.

I have to thank my friend and fellow blogger Stephen Rader for letting me know about the Carol Channing doll. When I saw it on his blog I just HAD to order one! Carol is a wonderful person and is practically my neighbor. I see her out and about in Palm Springs from time to time at various social events. I am pleased to announce that the Carol Channing doll will be a semi-regular recurring character on this blog. Please join me in saying "WELCOME CAROL" to make her feel at home.
