I've been home now for a couple of hours, and my poor footsies are finally recovering.

Yep, it was a full day of cart wrangling.

But at least I'm caught up on everything.

At least, I think I'm caught up.

Cilla-I hope you and the other lawyer in the building always get along & respect each other.

Elmore-You sound upbeat & fairly casual about the horrible email, but it has got to be very frustrating. Vibes that no one believes the horrible lies.

I assume you're talking about the other immigration lawyer...the building is jam packed with lawyers. I'm sure we will. Immigration is one of those areas of the law where lawyers tend to see themselves as us against the goverment. Something, I'm quite familiar with. I'm glad there will be someone to bounce ideas off of and it was clear from the look on his face that he was too

Not yet, Tom. Anthony has a busy week and since we have to watch it on the computer we haven't yet found the time to snuggle in bed to watch. The computer is in the bedroom, if you haven't guessed. It is just a 3 room apartment, after all. No room for it (the computer) in the living room.

Maybe this weekend we can settle down to watch it. We did watch the opening to see if it played on the 'puter. We saw the opening credits and look forward to the rest.

I'm going back to the film Interlude, with Oskar Werner and Barbara Ferris.

Hi all! Tra La--It's MAY!

Lovely photos, DRL!

DR Elmore, I'll bite that guy on the ankle if he says anything against you! Just let me at him!

LOL Danise, the image of you biting someone on the ankle really cracks me up

If I didn't eat another meal, I would definitely lose weight by tomorrow, even though I did not jog today (too chilly for jogging).

Working in the parking lot gives me plenty of time to read bumper stickers and other whatnots pasted on the cars.

Today, I spotted a sticker posted on the side-window of an SUV. It had an image of the traditional pink breast cancer awareness ribbon. Below the ribbon was a slogan.

I wonder if DR Ben has "experienced" Chu Chin Chow yet. The Staged version was one of my Mother's great memories.

A musical Arabian Night! I too like "Chu Chin Chow." I think I have the CD with Inia te Wiata.

Ah! BK answered my question. Thank you, Bruce.

Yes, one should catch up before replying.

If I catch up before I reply I can't always remember what I wanted to reply to

OK, those last two I made up.

I had an interesting morning. The young pup banker who I thought was so rude yesterday called me to tell me they are processing a loan and I need to do a financial statement. I told him I was offended by the way he treated me yesterday, that I went in asking about a small business loan, all he could tell me is I had to do a home equity loan. He didn't ask any questions relevant to a business loan and really offended me. So, I went to another bank. They took me seriously, asked the appropriate questions and have already told me I get the loan.

He started asking the terms whether it was secured/unsecured. I told him it was none of his business, that it isn't a home equity loan and that it wasn't my place to teach him how to do his job, but that my business accounts would now be going to the other bank.

He apologized but kept saying he did everything he could to help me. I told him he didn't, that he didn't treat me as a business person and that I was offended. When he asked what they could do I said "Nothing". you have lost my business.

God that felt good.

Later, I ran into my new banker in the elevator (we're in the same building). When I asked him how long it would be until I had some news he said I got the loan. I said, "Great! How soon can I start spending it" He laughed, shook his head and walked away.

Good Evening!

WHEW!

-I seemed to have said a lot today.

In short - and only because I don't want to make the long day even longer by describing it in detail - about 500 people showed up for today's call. Since the turnout, in general, has been on the low side for open calls lately, we all thought today would not be that crazy. Boy were we W-R-O-N-G! Over 200 women were signed before we started at 10:00, and about 150 men were signed up for the afternoon slots. So, we had to "type" - which, unfortunately, is a necessary evil at times in order to get through the day. People were brought in the room in groups of 20, and then going by their look and their resume they were either "typed in" or "typed out". Even before they sang a note. $:-\$ Again, a necessary evil.

-And even with the typing, we ran into overtime.

Whew!

*But we saw some amazing people, and after the initial craziness died down, it was a good day.

WHEW!

(OK! - That's my last time saying, "Whew!")

One really interesting thing about today's audition session was that we had a lot of people in from Seattle, Portland and San Diego. They all just happened to be in NYC for the week, and decided to come in to the audition. One of the guys from San Diego - who's name I can't remember right now - had a bunch of La Jolla and Los Angeles credits on his resume. I'm wondering if he and DR Cason had ever crossed paths.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #354 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:44:15 PM »

DR singdaw - Thanks for the links to the Mr. Broadway 2007 pics. I do like Mr. McGill, however, my ACL crush is Tyler Hanes who plays Larry. YUMMY!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #355 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:45:17 PM »

And as for staring at the dancers during ACL, since the pit is in a separate room (not in the pit), there is no place to look up at the dancers. $:-\$

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #356 on:** May 01, 2007, 05:47:53 PM »

OH! And only because I keep forgetting to mention it...

I'm a bit disappointed that the Sweeney Todd Sondheim Celebration Reunion Concert at the Kennedy Center that was scheduled for this June has been cancelled due to various - and numerous - scheduling conflicts. The cancellation was announced a few weeks ago. I was really looking forward to seeing everyone again.

*However, I think it's really cool that Hugh Panaro and some other Broadway Boys will be touring with Barbra Sreisand this summer in Europe.

TOD: May 14th, 14 years ago, I married the love of my life, accompanied by the melodious sounds of a steel drum band in the beautiful garden of my assistant editor and his partner. The band brought suitcases of percussion instruments so everyone could play along!

That, so far, has been the happiest day of my life.
