Saturday morning greetings!  Yesterday's storms brought winter back to the Miami Valley.  It's sunny here today, but cold and windy.  Richard's thinking of taking a walk outside, but I'm going to opt for the basement.

And what a relief to see DR JRand posting this morning!  The Cincinnati Enquirer has several pages of photos of the damage in southern Indiana and northern Kentucky - frightening.

Ditto, DR Ginny.  DR JRand, we are glad you are safe

I'm off to Grease rehearsal this morning. 

The DP and I are planning a trip to Germany in August.  We only have a week.  Is there anything we shouldn't miss?  (besides the original production of Starlight Express)

This amazing (to me) photograph showed up on a Facebook group.  It shows the area, SW of the railroad tracks, that became the apartment/townhouse complex where my family lived when we first moved to Detroit in 1953.  The photo was taken in 1949.

JRand, good to see you are ok,  I thought the bad part was south of you, but you never know what came up for someone during the day, where people are or what they are doing at the moment a storm hits, so I' glad you checked in.

I"m at the office waiting for a package to be delivered.  The mailman came and said that he didn't think I"d be open so he left it at the post office.  He's now going back to get it.

DR George, I don't kow all the details on the dvds not being relased.   It was am AMC original series, so maybe that's the problem.  There are plenty of hard core fans still out there. I have no doubt they would sell

I almost makes up for the large check from a client's father that bounced and was returned today.  I thought it might.  Time to take steps to remedy that

I re-did the book trailer for MATRICIDE. I think that this version makes the screenplay a bit more intriguing.

I am super excited. I am a big musical theatre fan. There used to be a lot of big musicals here. Then it stopped. Shrek the musical is coming here in two weeks. And they just put up a 2 for 1 ad in the paper today. My mom got tix for me, my mom,sister and niece to go. I guess tix were not selling well cause we got 8th row.  The thing is who wants to pay $80-100 for a little kid.

It is nice of him to go back & get the package, even if it is his job to do so.

That's great.  I'm excited you will get to see this show.  Are you going with your mother or at different times?

Yes DR Jane we are going all together. She did not get a ticket for my niece since she is only six. She probably would have liked it. But for $100 a ticket it is so expensive.

Glad to hear JR is OK.  Please check on Frances when you get a chance.

I have WHERE LOVE HAS GONE in my review pile, will try to get to it this week.  Just did Olive's NIJINSKY, which was pretty turgid.

Have spent the last 24 hours involved in a ridiculous dispute with someone BK has sparred with.  Amazing how eager to argue some people are.

DR Ben - thanks for your comments about Studio 54.  We'll be in Row EE (first row of Mid-Mezzanine), aisle seats in the center section on May 22 for HARVEY.  We could have sat in the last row of the front mezzanine, but those seats would have cost $50/each more and I didn't think it was worth it.

Wow!  The person who posted the earlier 1949 photo of our old neighborhood just posted one of the same site from 1961.  Lots of post-War development:

Ginny, I think you have good seats. You'll be just far enough way to see everything.

I had the misfortune to watch HANNA. This is the most awful, stupid, senseless, annoyingly daft movie I have ever seen.

I got up too early (too much cayenne in the sauce), but stayed in bed like so much fish and then got up at ten-thirty.  I really must jog right now.
