I guess I'll do the jog in about thirty minutes and then call Grant to see if we're getting together because, after all, it's get together weather.

It's time to walk down to 67th Street for the Kalman presentation. I hope it's good. Kalman is the one operetta composer I can think of whose music all sounds the same to me.

I have to say that I loved, loved, loved the Chorus Line documentary "Every Little Step." They showed a good chunk of Jason Tam's audition with Paul's monologue, and it had me crying all over again. As well as all of the creative team behind the table.

The rest of Betsy's clan have bussed up to Green Bay for the day to attend the Packers game. Due to my cold and exhaustion, I opted out, so I have a day sort of to myself. Slept in, managed to make the in-room coffeemaker explode (that was an exciting clean up job), and am now out to shop. We are up again tonight (tomorrow?) at 3 a.m. for another round of redeye flights back home. Oy. I need a vacation.

I'm just now getting around to reading Frank Rich's memoir Ghostlight. Really enjoyed his description of encountering a musical for the first time, first on LP and then live in a theatre.

It brought to mind similar passages in the Kritzer novels.

During our trip to MN we had a really wonderful thin crust (almost flat bread type) pizza.

Even though the local pizza joint didn't offer this on their menu, we asked them last night if they would make us one. They did, and it was delish!!

BK - Sorry for my confusing post above. Nancy Ford (of Cryer-Ford fame) is the composer of Blue Roses, the Glass Menagerie musical; the book adaptation and the lyrics are by Mimi Turque.

Finished with the Brent blurb and working on the soundtrack blurb now. But I think I'll go jog first.

The new swine flu strain also may have hit some pigs at the Minnesota State Fair in late August, animals possibly infected by some sick 4-H students. If the infection is confirmed, it wouldn't be a surprise: A sick farm worker first infected pigs in Canada last spring, and herds have been hit in Australia and Argentina, too.

Started out as a beautiful morning. Clouds are moving in now, and I fear we're in for even more rain now.

I will eventually buy this as I'm such a fan of the show, but its on-line price right now is more than I want to pay, so I'm waiting either for some discounts to set in or for the (hopefully) November sale at Deep Discount.

As I cooked and ate lunch, I watched UGLY BETTY's two hour season premiere. WHile it was great to have the show back, I tired over the two hours of all the impossible expectations placed on Betty effecting no-win situations for her. The show has ALWAYS done this, but it really got to me in this show. Plus the overall mean spiritedness in the episode really hit me hard, too. Yes, the resolution was satisfying enough, but the audience was put through an undue amount of torment to get there, at least I felt it was poured on a little thickly.

I look forward to less frenzied and frazled episodes in the weeks ahead.

I settled in for today's work project: MIRACLE ON 34th STREET (1994). Perfectly adequate remake but no more than that and lacks the magic and whimsy of the original. The changes made to modernize it robbed it of charm, and the actors were capable but, again, lacking magic and effervescence.

Matt H. · « **Reply #82 on:** October 18, 2009, 01:17:03 PM »

There were no bonus features at all on the disc, not even a trailer of the original or the remake.

I watched another BONES episode to wrap up the afternoon viewing. It was the one which introduced Booth's handsome but roguish younger brother Jared. The mystery was a good one, and I didn't remember the killer's identity even though I was seeing this for the second time.

Matt H. · « **Reply #84 on:** October 18, 2009, 01:34:05 PM »

Well, I must jump off-line now and get some writing done. Then I'll head back down to put away the folded laundry and then watch more BONES and LAW & ORDER from Friday night.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We're back from a full day in Lima - worship service, ladies' guild meeting, pastoral visit to our oldest parishioner (she's in her 100th year), lunch at Culver's, quick stop at Kroger (where Richard paid only $1.96/gallon - a Kroger rewards perk). No wonder we're useless on Mondays!

DR DAW - Frank Rich's Ghostlight is a favorite book of mine. I've been intending to reread it - thanks for the reminder.

I have also seen a badly-cast production of Guys and Dolls. I wanted to stop everyone on the way out and tell them that it really is a great show.

One of the best productions of Guys and Dolls I saw was a high school production several years ago. We are quite pleased to see one of the young actors has gone professional and we see him once in a while at Phoenix Theater.
