My dismay over the reformattng of the Herbert scores has my crew up in arms at me and the morning has been tense and unpleasant. 

The slob above me is finally out of bed and moving about; I can hear his footsteps.

Bad Day At Black Rock.

This is the comment in the email concerning the differences in my decision on the harp parts in my last edit and what made me unhappy yesterday:
With regard to the harp parts, it's been the practice to cross-beam the harp when possible, as part of our updating process.

In "Our updating process" my opinion was never asked for, and I have the title of "Editor."

That article is exactly right....all over the country.....it is a generalization - not every teen is like that....but I will give them the majority.  Sad....at any event, play, musical, movie, sporting event...and it wasn't always like that.  I know it wasn't, I was there.

Busy this morning at World of Wisdom.....but just here and there.

I'M MY OWN GRANDPA

No, it wasn't always like that - it's why I went on, at length, about my early theatergoing experiences in Kritzer Time - I wanted kids who read the book to know what it was like to experience theater - seeing it, sitting in a theater, and the fact that the audience did not behave like they were watching a wrestling match.

I'm up after some pretty peculiar (not bad) dreams.

DR Jennifer, I meant do you purchase the saran wrapped gefilte fish at a deli.  Then you also see it in cans?  I've never seen it in cans & only fresh at a deli, not a super market.

I voted DR VIXMOM!

I did too!

More prefereable, dontchathink, to being "my brother-my son, my brother-my son, my brother-my son"?

[Clap} "Owwww"!  [Clap] "Owww"!  [Clap] "Owww"!

BK, enjoyed your rant on disconnected, self-absorbed parents.  Despite what people claim:  You cannot have it all; if your careers are that important, don't have children.

I recall that, when I was growing up and we went to the theater...even community theater...men wore a coat & tie.

Today, you see jeans and a t-shirt.

Wasn't there a joke about a scale-down version of APPLAUSE (or was it a sexed-up version) called CLAP?

(as in LAUREN BACALL in CLAP)

Jeans and a T-shirt...two bits!

[MBarnum]

DVD - SHE the 1935 version with Randolph Scott, Helen Mack, Helen Gahagan (Douglas) - one of my favorite movies....the ceremonial dance is wonderful.......

I wonder if Helen Gahagan is related to that nice family that was on THE AMAZING RACE: FAMILY EDITION?

[MBarnum]

I think BK covered essentially ALL the horrors of current parenting trends among the rich.

I wonder what the simple folk do?  

Many do the same exact thing except without a nanny.  Bad parenting knows no monetary boundries.

And I don't believe it to be only a recent thing. Look at how many vintage movies cover that same child rearing topic.

Going to church used to be like that -- men in suits or jackets/ties, women in fine apparel.  But going back as far as 30 years ago, it all seemed to change into something utterly profane.  Noteverywhere, mind you....but I've been appalled going into a fine cathedral and seeing someone who appears to have either come from a campling trip or plans on leaving for one after mass.

If a person is wearing his best, even though a bit tattered, it's still respectful.   Today, I suspect it's just the cleanest of the jeans/T-shirts/leotards or stretch pants that happen to be in the bedroom or atop the hamper.

[Ron Pulliam]

I remember when ladies wore nice hats and gloves to church.

There are isolated pockets of civilization where this is still seen.   But it used to be "the norm".

Were THAT only true.  No, what you see today, and this doesn't only apply to young people, are men in shorts and t-shirts and thongs (the shoe variety - whatever they call them today).  It's nauseating.

[bk]

The theater has become an extension of people's entertainment rooms at home.  It happened with movie theaters forty years ago, and now it's happened with live theater, and I blame some of it on Disney and the way they brought Beauty and the Beast to B'way as if it were a movie onstage.  Even thirty years ago (maybe even twenty or ten) you were not allowed to bring food of ANY sort into a live theater.  What's next, nachos?

What is it that we're living for
Clap-clap, Clap-clap
Nothing I know brings on the glow
Like sweet Clap-clap
You're thinking you're through
That nobody cares
Then suddenly you hear it starting...

Greetings from Toyland! I did do laundry but because of all the tsuris over the harp redo I did not mop the floors. I'll do that this afternoon when I get home.

I'm having chicken salad and waiting for Mr Kennon.

[elmore3003]

DR FJL just called and Skip will be a little late. No problem at all. I can get our next edit assembled.
