Nope, Harry is playing the Barbara Harris/Barbra Streisand role.

March is pretty lamb-like here in SW Ohio, too - sunny and 45^o at noon.

We are expecting snow tomorrow night.

Not in Olympia.

And . . .

I am solvent again. After several truly panicky emails last night, the foundation in Philadelphia transferred the last invoice payment to my account this morning, and the funds have landed. Thank you all for the vibes!

They've told me this will not happen again, and I hope it's true.

Congratulations!!  Hopefully, you'll never have to go through this again!

DR Elmore, I'm really glad you got your money....could you please call the feds for me and see about my fee claim

Thank you, dear! I called them for you about an hour ago. I'm still on hold.

I just finished and sent off my first pass at notes on the Herbert recording. My next research, which terrifies me, ihas to do with info and dates on all the German poets whose texts were set to music. This could be horrifying since I don't speak or read German. Why the hell couldn't he have set French poets?

Since I trust no one - my mother brought me up to be paranoid - I expect it all to fasll apart by the next payment date.

I notice this version only happened after Burton Lane, who would have kiboshed it, is dead. Heirs are not necessarily the brightest bulbs in the lamp but they can be the greediest.

TCB, this is what i received:  (note I hadn't made a request.  they created a request out of thin air, then denied it.  )

"Regardless of what you have been told, it is not permissible to alter a copyrighted lyric without permission, even if it is solely for a website and no money is earned as a result. Frank Music Corp. does not allow any changes of lyric to our copyrights, therefore your request to do so is denied.

Harry is playing the doctor (John Cullum/Yves Montand) role, according to PLaybill:

Here's how they bill the show: "Love blooms in unexpected places in the delightfully reimagined world of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Still in love with his deceased wife, Dr. Mark Bruckner (Harry Connick, Jr.), a dashing psychiatrist and professor, unknowingly takes on the case of his life with David Gamble, a quirky young florists' assistant.

Interesting... Very interesting...

*Be sure to read about the "twist".

I assume that Harry will be playing the doctor?

At least I can't imagine Harry playing the gay florist assistant.

[Ben]

I misread. I thought he was playing David Gamble

Thanks for your comment before, George.

I have never thought of Tacoma as The Great Frozen Northland!

It was the character's name he objected to. No David. Only Mark.

John G., are you a card-carrying vegan?

[George]

I'm leaving work...early, for once.  I'm off to my sister's for a bit, then home.

Until later!

Are you kidding? My middle name is Pig. It was just something different for an evening.

Hi all!   Glad to read that DR Elmore got his money. 

Vibes to Cilla--we are sort of in the same boat.  The FDBPR recovery fund has had my application since October but it hasn't made it down the list to be approved.  Even if it was approved I was told that the funds are not there to pay the claim and they are 2 years or more behind in paying anything.  There is a hope because they changed way the fund is funded.  But with this new governor we are saddled with (the same idiot who wants to turn down the Federal Funding for the high speed train ie JOBS) it is possible that he will stop the program before I get anywhere near that money.

Sigh.

[Danise]

I hope your feeling better DR Ginny.  Take care of yourself.

[Danise]

I also hope that your feeling better, DR Laura. 

[Danise]

Computer vibes for DR Vixmom!

[Laura]

Thanks, Danise. I did yard work around my own yard today. Somehow that hurts less.

[Danise]

Well, I had some excitement last night.  Was sitting here watching TV, minding my own business when I heard a super LOUD crash.  I went outside and the neighbors tree had a very large section fall.  Not on my side (this time).  Thank goodness no one or their car/home was hit or hurt.

I hate to say it but I think they are going to have to take the rest of the tree down.  It just keeps dropping branches. 

That's the same tree that nearly killed me.  I was painting a table back when I was trying to move back into the house and the guy I had working on the bathroom (that was after Turner) needed something from Home Depot.  He didn't know this area very well so even though I didn't want to, I went and got the what-ever-it-was (can't remember what) for him. 

When I pulled back into the driveway, the table I was working on was smashed beyond repair because a large branch from that same tree had fell and hit it.  If I had been there painting that table like I wanted to.........

[Danise]

Thanks, Danise. I did yard work around my own yard today. Somehow that hurts less.

  I'm glad.  It's not good to read that someone is hurting.

[Danise]

Take care of that cough, DR Dan (the man).  We have to many people at the office with one that they can't seem to lose either.
