Well, you've read the notes, the notes were assembled, and now it is time for you to post until the assembled cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: BIOTA!

And now - Dino at the piano.

First post after BK!
:D
-
And now, to bed!
;)
-
Have a good day, all!!
-
Good morning!
-
I need to jump in the shower, but first I need to get my eyes open.
-
It is 8:30 here in the mid-Atlantic.

Things seem to have calmed down.

Thank you, Jrand.
-
It is after 11:00 a.m. and I have been up since 8:30.
-
The storm is still raging, but it is not as bad as last night.
-
The twenty foot swells have dropped to around ten feet. It is still rough enough to cause the ship to moan and groan.
-
The storm is crrently following us, so no relief until probably tomorrow.
-
I guess everyone is getting used to the rockin' and rollin', because there are a lot more people roaming around today.
-
The Topsider (the poolside hamburger / hot dog place) is closed for the second day in a row. I guess I will have to settle for a burger cooked inside instead.
-
After lunch, I guess I will curl up with a book for the afternoon.
-
Good morning, all.
And a bit of a late one it is. But I SO needed a bit of extra sleep this morning, and I got it. Yay, me!
Coffee!
-
Vixmom, from where I sit, it sounded like every aspect of your day yesterday went beautifully and was a fine, loving tribute to your father.
-
BK, very much enjoying the daily reports on the assembly. I wish I was there.
-
Also appreciate the daily High Seas reports from our own TC "Magellan" B.
You are more of an adventurer than I am, sir. When does the book come out?
-
Good morning, all! This morning I got an email from my cousin Sue that needed immediate answering. I hope it cleared the air between us since she's my favorite cousin and I had upset her yesterday.
-
I need a morning run to the post office.
-
My new blu-ray region free player is here, and I will hopefully set it up today. I am no good at this kind of work, so I have my fingers crossed.
-
I need some breakfast and I have nothing here, so maybe I will go to the post office and stop at Magnolia Bakery for an apple cranberry walnut muffin.
-
Good morning!

Ten foot waves are nothing after twenty foot ones. I expect everyone is jumping for joy.
-
I have had severe motion sickness on flights that lasted from hours to a day and a half after landing
-
Our Internet connection was slow last night and continues to be a problem. It took awhile to do my last post.
-
I'm up, I'm up - rough night of little sleep.
-
I had a nice phone call from my friend Bruce Pomahac, so I haven't left the house yet. He says it's beautiful in Milwaukee, and I miss his being in Manhattan.

I did not go down to the 68th Street P.O., so I did not stop at Magnolia Bakery. Those muffins are fantastic.

How is your weather, DR TCB? Have things calmed down?

Hello, Elmore!

It is. We are a little over a third of the way across the Atlantic Ocean on our way to the Azores, and then Copenhagen.

How is your weather, DR TCB? Have things calmed down?
Still kind of stormy, but better than yesterday.

I don't know what Ken is up to this afternoon. I know he was playing bridge this morning.

Oh DR ELMORE - I forgot about MAURICE.

I took a nice little nap

What I've spent my morning finishing up, starting with the backstory:
In the early 1970s I had this "semi-pro" Sony Superscope audio cassette recorder with a decent external stereo microphone. In 1974 I took it along on a visit to Cincinnati, and recorded an entire Where's Charley? at my mom and dad's community theater (Terrace Park Players). My dad had some silly small part in it and my mom and I were in the audience.
Four decades later, my dad found the two cassettes and asked if they were mine or if I knew what the hell they were. I told him, and we popped them in and listened. The recording was surprisingly decent, but the kicker was hearing my mom, dead for two decades, laughing her ass off throughout the show. He was beside himself hearing that, and I brought the cassettes home to burn them to CD for him and I'd hang on to the originals.
The tapes still play beautifully and I decided it was time I learned to do this stuff reasonably well. I made full range WAV file transfers directly into my ZOOM digital recorder and created Audacity project files from those. I chopped out a few extraneous noises, added fade-ins and fade-outs, edited the whole thing to fit perfectly on two CDs without sacrificing quality, and burned them to disc using Windows Media Player which I've come to grips with just enough to accomplish that much.
So, on my upcoming visit, my dad's getting the CDs for his 91st birthday, along with a copy of the 1974 program with their names and their friends' names in it (how that ever survived there, I'll never know). And I'm REALLY delighted to be getting this audio stuff under my belt at long last.

Hello, everyone.

I'll answer BK's question first.
Mary Lee Gowland! Now that's a name I haven't heard in fifty years! She was at Bluth, I believe, and a blonde. I can't tell you which shows--I think it was only one. She had a very patrician look.
What's she doing now?
-
Now, Bruce, will you puleeeze give me the dates and times for the LA show? I've been telling people about it, but can't give specifics. Web searches turn up some interesting old photos, but nothing about your show.
-
So glad to hear how well Vixmom's Friday went. A lovely tribute.
And so clever of her to save time and energy at the car wash, as DR Ron astutely pointed out.
-
TCB, I'm sorry you're encountering so much bad weather on your cruise. I always liked sea days; I hope yours still provide some sort of relaxation and benefit.
This is a repositioning cruise, yes? You'll be flying home?

How nice for you and your dad. I love finding old things--the stuff the anti-clutter people told you to toss out long ago.

I went to acupuncture this morning, then stopped for some tacos. I did some cleaning when I got home. There's more to do, just not sure I want to do it.

I've been watching FORTITUDE, a strange murder mystery series that takes place on a small island in the Arctic. I find the depiction of life there interesting, and the show is well done in many ways. Stanley Tucci is wonderful. Michael Gambon is always a pleasure. It has its fans. I'll finish season one.
-
I'm also reading a new author, Ben Aaronovitch, not a name I'd known. Apparently, he wrote some of the early DR WHO episodes. Very capable writer. At first his novels sounded like knock-offs of the Bryant & May series that I'm so fond of, and thus were suspect. But they're not that. Sloppy marketing, I think. These have a flavor of their own. MIDNIGHT RIOT is the first of the series. Like the Bryant & May books, they are all about London and quite fun.

Have a nice weekend, everyone.
TTFN.

Not tonight. It's all just TV watching and laundry doing.

Jeanne - we open on May 13th 8:00 show. There is a preview on the 12th, which I think starts at 7:00. Two shows on the 14th - 2:00 and 8:00. Then we're back with two shows on Thursday the 19th - matinee is somewhere around three, I think and evening is 7:15, then an 8:00 on Friday the 20th and 2:00 and 8:00 on Saturday the 21st.
Mary Lee Gowland - I was Googling Bluth Brothers, just to see if there were ANY images of it - of course there weren't. Most of what comes up is from haineshisway.com or my books, but there was another book that got a hit and it was hers. I was able to go to the page that got the hit for Bluth Brothers and sure enough she was in High Spirits. I'm sure I'd remember her if I saw more photos, but she didn't really look familiar to me from the couple I saw.
-
Had a really fun rehearsal today - Cheryl and her hip-hop guy choreographed the LA melting pot song Grant and I wrote and it is seriously great and the kids loved doing it. Happily everyone was on time and ready to work, although our stage manager's plan is to make everyone's calls fifteen minutes before we actually will start - clever that. But one of our shared gals who was two hours late yesterday with nary a word of apology was a complete no-show today, so I made the decision to fire her and replace her with one of our alternates who actually HAS been with us at every rehearsal and is usually standing in when we didn't have our other actors, so she's pretty familiar with everything - and she'll certainly sing her solo song just as well as this other gal would.

Good night, Tom. Hope you sleep well.

Hopefully there will be a flurry of posts in the next 5+ hours.

Bruce, thanks for the show times.
Mary Lee was a very pretty girl in a classic sort of way. A Brecht girl look. she was about my size.

Tom, have you been able to enjoy the cruise so far, despite all the rockin' and rolling'?
-
I know. I am on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean, and yet I can talk to people in Washington and California.
-
Tom, have you been able to enjoy the cruise so far, despite all the rockin' and rolling'?
Oh yes, it has been great. And not one iceberg sighted!

There were times when I worked in the corporate world that I'd look forward to going to the dentist just to get out of the office for a few hours. Everything is relative.
-
Shall I ask the usual cruise question? How's the food? We already know it's expensive--at least in one of the restaurants.
-
The food is plentiful. Seriously, it is good, although I seem to be enjoying it more than my friend, Ken.
-
Jeanne, I'm sure you mean Breck girl, not Brecht :) She wrote me back on Facebook. She remembers me well, or so she says, so that's nice.
-
I was never a fan of Prince, but I've been surprisingly intrigued by the recent stories about him.

LOL. Yes, the shampoo, not the playwright! You were in High Spirits, weren't you? I can't recall your character.
-
I was never a fan of Prince, but I've been surprisingly intrigued by the recent stories about him.

Not yet. Or at least they haven't released it. They did say not murder and not suicide

I mentioned it to my brother since he is always looking for new detective/mystery series.

Well, there's a rumbling in my tummy that needs some attention.
Hope tomorrow is better for you, Tom.

George, I believe you're a DR WHO fan. Do you know the name Ben Aaronovitch?
I am a fan. I didn't know who he is until I looked him up on IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0007486/reference). What about him?
-
The food is plentiful. Seriously, it is good, although I seem to be enjoying it more than my friend, Ken.
Is Ken fussier than you are? For us we rate the food by the vegetarian options and quality.

BK, you should make this your mantra, "Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable."

Vixdad and I went out to breKfast at the IHOP I had a half order of the buttermilk pancakes with peaches and raspberries . I had them hold the whipped cream and heat the fruit before putting it on the pancakes and add some crushed nuts. I also had a side with 2 slices of bacon and 2 sausages
-
And coffee.. Three cups with vanilla creamer
-
Then we came home and let breakfast settle a bit and then I headed over to the post office . Jack the 1776 stuff is finally enroute!
-
I put in several programs as there is a nice interview which carries on over several pages which I thought you might like for your board. And of course you will want to have the page which mentions our dear Elmore showing. :)
-
There are also a few advertising postcards and some tickets which I harvested after the show
-
last week when Vixdad and I were at Barnes and noble I started reading a book called "uprooted" by Naomi Novik
-
I was unwilling to shell out $16 for a paperback so I stopped by the library and was pleased to find a copy. I wonder if Jennifer has read it, I am enjoying it so far
-
Then Vixdad and I went over to the local tux shop and arranged for a tux fir the black tie wedding we are attending in May
-
Then a popped over to the church, I had purchased 6 new cloth tablecloths for Dad's luncheon. I had laundered them and wanted to put them in with the other special events tablecloths.
-
Then I set up communion for the Saturday evening service and for tomorrow morning.

As I did I realized that the altar flowers for Dad were still at church, someone had put them in the fridge... So I popped over to the cemetery and left two for Dad and brought one to my Papa as well.
-
It was another beautiful day. Warm and sunny and just a slight breeeze
-
Then over to Stew Leonard's for some milk , OJ and apples
-
Inexplicably they were entirely out of stoned wheat bread so there was an additional trip to Shop Rite before I got home
-
I made some read for Vixdad and myself and began reading Uprooted when I was overcome by an unexpected nap
-
When I woke (around 8) I made dinner , the last of the chicken Marsala made by Sara and some baby carrots cooked in chicken broth and butter
-
My eight turned into a cool smiley
-
I love having TCB and Elmore posting at the same time
-

Good evening.
I'm back from River City, and I just crammed a Wendy's double cheeseburger into my gut because I'd eaten nothing since ten this morning.
I also can't help but feel a little sad for the OTHER half order of buttermilk pancakes that didn't get invited to go home with the Vixen today.
-
Got the piano music for ACT ONE this evening.
It's laid out and notated very precisely, just as I'd envisioned (and indeed hoped) it would be. It'll be great working on it.
-
last week when Vixdad and I were at Barnes and noble I started reading a book called "uprooted" by Naomi Novik
Curious why you asked Jennifer if she has read this I looked it up. Please let me know if you like it.

In the irritating department, I've been trying to move files from my desktop to my folder and it keeps freezing and then I can't do anything on my desktop at all - nothing works. Everything else is fine but the desktop is frozen. I restarted the computer and it literally moved every file on my desktop to the right from where I had it - so annoying and now I'm going to have to do it again because I can't drag stuff I need to send via e-mail.
-
Did a little Googling and found that in Yosemite this is a common problem, albeit a new one to me. So, I did the suggested fix and it seems to have worked.

Here's a fun drive down Wilshire Blvd. - the Miracle Mile, driving west on Wilshire but looking east as we go. It begins before the Four Star Theater, then you cross La Brea. On the right you'll see the Lindy Opera House (aka the Ritz Theater, where I saw Scent of Mystery), and then on the left you'll see the Du-Par's sign (which was where my father's Kiru Cafe was), and then the El Rey Theater and a wonderful glimpse of the Ontra Cafeteria. That stretch of Wilshire is where Patrick Bronstein lived.
