I just mentioned "If I Were a Rich Man" in my review of THE ADVENTURE OF ENGLISH, wherein I lauded the correct use of the subjunctive.

Lauding the Correct Use of the Subjunctive is my new jazz big band piece.

I didn't see the movie (No Country for Old Men). I saw the previews and knew I wouldn't like it, but then my taste is different than about 99.99% of the entire world so don't go by me.

FWIW, Josh Brolin gives a terrific performance in "No Country for Old Men".   Javier Bardem isn't shabby, either.

Ben, I didn't think I would like it either, which is why I waited so long to finally watch it.  I loved it, though--reminded me, tonally at least, of the Coens' BLOOD SIMPLE.  The ending just seemed to come out of left field, though, and left me with a bunch o' questions.

I had a fantastic time at the opera! My date today was Tiger Lily, Sondra Lee herself, who is a wonderful kind lady who will have a memoir published in the fall titled I SLEPT WITH EVERYONE. I walked her home after the rehearsal - she lives 5 blocks south of me - and we ran into Donald Sadler on the way. It was nice ro see him again. When I first met him around 1972, I was working box office at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, and Donald came to a performance with the original Mazeppa, Miss Faith Dane. He introduced her to me after the performance. Nice man.

As to the opera, it was very very funny and the mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca is amazing.

One of my many excuses for being so E and T as of late is I'm busy working on a new play for our local community theatre. I absolutely love this play and recommend it to my fellow HHW community theatre members as a choice for a future season. Really, check it out:

37 Postcards by Michael McKeever (through the Barbara Hogenson Agency in NYC)

It's filled with the most eccentric, wacky, charming, funny, and endearing characters. Lots of laugh out loud moments, but lots of moving, poignant moments too -- it's about the way a family deals with the loss of a loved one. 

A great comedy with lots of heart ...  or is it a great drama with lots of laughs?  Whatever, it is absolutely wonderful (especially in the hands of our director and cast).

Is that a sequel to the Craig Lucas/Craig Carnelia musical, Three Postcards?

;)

MR BK - I just learned from my friend Keith Dunn that he worked the box office at the York Theatre when BRAIN FROM PLANET X was playing there.

He is a terrific singer and dancer and very funny comic actor - if you are looking for anyone in New York, you might want to see him.  i thought you were going to NYC for something..... in May.....but I forget why.....

DR JOSE - he might like the food tour as well.

Back from the bank, where I had my loose change converted into my Vera-Bradley-outlet-sale-seed-money.  Now I won't start feeling guilty until I've spent more than $46  ;)

DRvixmom, speaking of Shakespeare, whose death anniversary we all missed last week, I do believe the vixter and you would enjoy this musical based on A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM:

I decorate the front steps with balloons but I guess I didn't tie them tight enough - two of them flew away


Oh well there are still four left

Oh, if any DR happens to have one of those paperback copies of the script from MAN OF LA MANCHA that you would like to donate to PCPH, it would be most appreciated.  It is from TAMS-WITMARK and I would like as many people as possible to have a book and not sides.

I have been buying a few here and there and have four, but would like six or seven more.  Check your libraries!  Thanks.

Warmed up quickly early in the afternoon. I think we may have crept into the 80s. It certainly feels warmer than 70s to me.

I have one, and in fact I used it myself when I played The Duke/Dr. Carasco in a local production of MAN OF LA MANCHA. However, I'd like to hold onto it. Sorry, DR JRand.

Next, I watched WISE BLOOD. What a peculiar, odd little provincial comedy-drama. The drama which happens in the last third is really a bit of a jolt compared to all the quirky comedy that has gone before it. Still, a small, funny little gem.
