I think we should put up no trespassing signs next year.

That might be a good idea. I wonder if it will work. You might try complaining the the marathon organizers this year.

Wow.... that's.... ....something.

It's not Marion, though.

Yes, it is...but I ain't saying what I think it is. No sir.

Had a nice Zoom chat this afternoon with some like-minded film music fans.

And then, a surprise phone call just pleased me to no end as an old friend caught me up on her life over the past four months.

The day remains, uniformly, gray, dismal and coldish. Temp is 36 degrees. Low is expected to be 30 degrees and all of whatever is left on the roads, water-wise, will freeze over for a fun MLK Jr. holiday.

I has stocked my larder with multiple cans of Mrs. Fearnow's Brunswick Stew.

I am a HUGE brunswick stew fan, going back to my childhood. A local community used to have a vat of stew cooking in the town square in the summertime, and my folks would buy a quart and we'd consume it for supper. I loved it then, and I love it now. I have made it for myself on many occasions, but Mrs. Fearnow's brand is really quite good enough for the likes of moi!

It's barely Amaryllis.

Yawn.

I watched all of that Anything Goes. I am not a Sutton Foster fan, though I don't dislike. Her doesn't do much for me. I will give her credit for a great version of Blow, Gabriel, Blow, but I think that's more for Kathleen Marshall's staging and Foster's legs, which are shown off to their best advantage. But I shouldn't watch a musical written for Ethel Merman and wonder why Robert Lindsey as Moonface Mullins is the best thing in the show.

I. Just. Can’t.

Finished futzing and finessing. I was very happy with all the revisions I'd done on the ending before bed last night, just smoothed it out a bit. Then I did the other stuff - just a lot of smoothing out, a few additions, a few subtractions. Then I made the PDF and sent it to Muse Margaret.

To celebrate, I ordered from Stanley's - the grilled chicken pasta.

Oh my DR ELMORE - Broadway came back....for THIS?

bk · « **Reply #80 on:** January 16, 2022, 02:59:44 PM »

I just watched some of that Signature thing. Someone had the GALL to take a directed and conceived by credit. The artistic director of the theater, who should not be the artistic director of a bus. I saw no direction and someone would have to tell me what he conceived - certainly it wasn't a structured evening with a point. Some of us who do this sort of thing take it very seriously so seeing something this amateur is appalling. Why does every musical theater male and female of today sing through their nose? Horrible.

bk · « **Reply #81 on:** January 16, 2022, 03:00:35 PM »

As to Sutton Foster - I'd really have to see the approach to the character that would justify the caterwauling at the end.

Ah DR ELMORE my favorite director's girlfriend cast in the lead version of Im Salzkammergut from The White Horse Inn seems to have been pulled from YouTube.

The only clips of the number are from EVERYONE else in the production singing the song.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #83 on:** January 16, 2022, 03:08:43 PM »

But I will say that if anyone has not seen The White Horse Inn - DR ELMORE sent me a DVD many many moons ago.....go immediately to Amazon and order a copy.

Hmmmm it doesn't seem to be available on AMAZON and it is very expensive on EBAY.....perhaps eventually it will come back around.

I broke something porcelain yesterday....so I am gluing it back together today....carefully.....

Yesterday the kids luggage, including Bryan's snowboard, didn't arrive. They were told it was on the next plane and would be delivered to them. So far, no luggage and no clothes to play in the snow.

Jane · « **Reply #87 on:** January 16, 2022, 03:38:52 PM »

They have been told their luggage will be at the airport tonight for them to pick up. A bit too late to use on the slopes but hopefully not lost.

What a lazy day. Just what I needed.
