Am I the only DR who saw the cane image last night from a different angle than was described? Pehaps it's meant to be seen in two different ways?

That is what I saw, too, Ron.

TOD:

CD - FOLLIES, THE FLY

DVD - more Flash Gordon

Flash Gordon the movie, TV show, or serial?

Which reminds me, did you know that Princess Aura (Priscilla Lawson) is from your area...buried there, also.

Is she dead?

FROM YESTERDAY

The music video for Cheyenne Jackson.

Is it for a album of his? TV show? Movie? Did I miss some kind of connection?

Mike, I am not really sure. There are two new Cheyenne songs and videos (he wrote both of them). Mr. Jackson said he is putting together a EP(?) of his own music. He is also been cast in the pilot of the new MUNSTERS TV show. He will be playing Scoutmaster Steve.

I used to know Mike Tyson way, way back when. I was running the paper in Catskill, N.Y., when he was making a name for himself. Sat ringside for probably 10 or 12 of his fights, and we would walk across the street from the newspaper office to the boxing gym above the police station to watch him spar. Fame hadn't gone to his head at that point. His trainer, the gruff but persistent Cus D'Amato, was still alive and he was living under the protection of a wonderful woman named Camille, who was like the mother he never had. They and a manager, Jim Jacobs, protected him. Then Cus died, Jacobs died and things got out of control. Plus, the vultures in that small town started circling, wanting their piece of pie. It was all rather disgusting.

So much of that story reads like a cliche, I know, but that's the way I experienced it.

Thanks for sharing that.

Do you know if that part of his life is covered in his Broadway show, JohnG?

It sounds like the most exciting thing to come to Broadway since the Suzanne Sommers one-woman show.

George, I hope you didn't misunderstand my joke about Gabe yesterday. He is a really fine actor. He was in THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER with me back in 9/2001. He played the Harpo Marx part. He also worked as my assistant when I directed PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

And in the "If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" dept. It was pouring down rain but the Bonnie was quite warm so I wanted to lower the window just a touch to allow the warm air out. I touched the window button and the window fell into the door. I didn't hear it break but I have no idea how to fix the darn thing so I have to wonder how much this little problem will cost me.

On top of that I still have to go for my sleep test and I do not relish the thought of my car in the parking lot with no window. In the rain. But with a plastic garbage bag. Super sigh.

I blame DR Elmore. He and I are in an Olympic game of who can have the most things go wrong. I do NOT want to win the gold metal!

Not addressing that to anyone in particular.

If I was addressing that to anyone in particular, here's how it would look:

I'm thinking I may just catch a cab to go to my sleep test. I really don't want to leave Bonnie in the parking lot.

Danise · « **Reply #133 on:** August 03, 2012, 04:37:45 PM »

But then again, I don't relish the idea of being in a parking lot a 3 or 4 in the morning waiting for cab.

What to do?

Danise · « **Reply #134 on:** August 03, 2012, 04:38:25 PM »

Cab or no cab? That is the question.

Did I mention I did a three-mile jog? That effectively burned off 300 of my 600 calories so I can definitely do some snacking tonight of low-cal lo-fat stuff.

I've been eating pizza and salad with my Mother. Now, I'm watching the Olympics.

Danise · « **Reply #146 on:** August 03, 2012, 05:38:47 PM »

Well I'm off--with Bonnie. I really have no choice. Not enough cash in the house to call a cab. And I hope DR Elmore knows I'm teasing him. We just both seem to be having a run of bad luck this past week. OY!!!!!!!!

Filichia on Fridays is a little sports-minded this week,

http://www.kritzerland.com/filichia.htm

so I'm sure some of the jock types who are reading the theater pages for the reports on the Mike Tyson Broadway show will probably want to read this Filichia entry as well

(yes, I'm kidding about that Tyson thing, but it's a fun Filichia item)

I used to know Mike Tyson way, way back when. I was running the paper in Catskill, N.Y., when he was making a name for himself.

Interesting to read a nicer side of him.

Good morning, all!

It will be a really lousy day: I got up at 6:30, put the laundry together, opened the door to my apartment to head to the laundromat and find that the elevator is dead, . My entire schedule for the day is screwed: it was to be laundry from 7-9. wait for the AC repair men from 10-3, head out to dinner and vist around 4:15. So, now, depending on when and if the elevator men show up to repair the elevator, the ACrepairmen cannot cart off the air conditioner if they need to - I wouldn't carry the damned thing down three flights f stairs in 90 degree weather for anyone - and I'm not schlepping a heavy load of laundry down the stairs either, and back up when I've finished, so my day is essentially screwed.

Color me pissed.

DR TCB, I stayed last year in a 4-star hotel, the Merrion, and I wish I were there again. The Hibernian Club is beautiful, but it's for wealthy businessmenm such as the Man from Philadelphia who made the decision we would all stay there, only now the only one of the group going is me, and I'm not a wealthy businessman nor do I wish to work on a rehearsal-recording project dressed like a broker or an attorney. I've voiced my concerns..

Can you change your hotel reservations?

Sorry about the elevator, etc.

The producers assure me all will be fine. Let's hope.

They are probably right & once you finally get there you should be happy.
