Greetings from Columbus, OH! My half-day workshop for new researchers was quite worthwhile. Chillin' in my room until it's time to meet the group to go to dinner at Cheesecake Factory.

It's a beautiful day to sit outside. I have seen five species of butterflies and two species of first of season (FOS in nature-watcher language) dragonflies. Plus something you don't see every day -- ladybug larvae:

Well, I have a few computer items to tidy up and then I'll head down to pick back up with McGarrett and company in Hawaii.

Last night I watched a certain movie:

"Science is my pie."

TOD:

Probably my most played CDs are Larry Moore's Kander and Ebb Album and his Alan J. Lerner Album, both with incidental vocals by Brent Barrett, whom I saw, btw, with Jerry Colker in West Side Story when both were understudies.

DR WilliamFOrr, I regret to say that the wonderful Brent Barrett's Lerner album is not my work! I sadly turned the album down because I had just had difficult recording sessions with Brent's musical director for another singer for an infamous label, and I wasn't ready to work with him again. I love Brent and I hated telling BK that I was turning the album down.

Alphabetical Musicals Project:

I finished Dance a Little Closer this morning on my way into work. For those of you who don't know it (it ran one night on Broadway), you may know some of the songs from the above-mentioned Alan J. Lerner Album. It contains some other gems. There is "Mad", where Lerner displays some of the verbal pyrotechniques you know from "Come Back to Me."

And there is also "I Don't Know/Anyone Who Loves", what one is wont to call "ahead of its time". A debate between an Anglican priest and others on same-sex marriage, one of the grooms being played by the above-mentioned World's Sexiest Man Alive. I don't think this scene was in the original Sherwood Anderson play Idiot's Delight, on which it is based, or in the Clark Gable movie.

Next, the alphabet will be temporarily interrupted as I listen to the four Kritzerland CDs that arrived yesterday. I tremble with antici

The gay couple in DANCE A LITTLE CLOSER was a newlywed couple in the original play. One of the lousiest muasicals I have ever seen, I was in shock at how inept the musical was. Leading lady Liz Robertson, who was the latest Mrs Lerner, was part of the problem as the mysterious lady: she sounded like Julie Andrews doing a Cyd Charisse impersonation.

I was sort of sad to see Life on Mars end last night.....

I was, too. I have thoroughly enjoyed the show, and I think the cast has the same kind of dazzling chemistry that THE CLOSER cast shares. I will very much miss seeing these actors working together on this entertaining and involving series.

I'll miss it too, but I sort of like the idea of a series that runs for so long and ends. It stays fresh the entire time

Well, it could have run two or three years and likely have remained fresh. Most shows start to peter out after that time unless they can reinvent themselves (as LOST and '24' have been able to do). Not everything has to run as long as ER or LAW & ORDER.

I love LAW & ORDER and all the franchises, but ER has gone on far too long for me to give a damn. I also wonder if there might have been a different solution to the end of LIFE ON MARS if they suddenly hadn't had the need to provide one by its cancellation.

AHH!!!!

DR JMK and other DRs - Here's that Trader Joe's Jobim commercial I tried to link to a few months ago. It finally made it onto YouTube.

If I Made a Commercial for Trader Joe's

Very clever! Thanks, Jose!

We are still on Heron Watch. Luckily, I have an electric outlet in the backyard.

Is that handy for the blender to make the margaritas, or to operate the cattle prod?

It runs the karaoke machine on Friday nights.

And we all know how DR Laura loves her karaoke!!!

Good Evening!

Well I now have a tube in my right ear and according to thr hearing test I have about 80% hearing in that ear now. Since I had 0% before I am quite pleased.

The ENT said a tube would make no difference to the left ear so he left it alone but the hearing test showed its working at about 90% so overall I am doing well

My dad saw the oncology orthopedist and seemed to like him very much. He is scheduled for surgery on the 14th - they will take the growth out and biospy it all at once. He will probably be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days and then depending on the results of the biopsy they'll decide if he needs further treatment.

Thank you all for the VIBES!

Here's the real question - what ISN'T moving to Broadway? According to every producer of every show being done in every town everywhere, everything is moving to Broadway.

PAGE 3 JOHN CAGE 4' 33" DANCE

In a continuation of William F. Orr Doesn't Recognize Celebrity, previous episodes of which can be recounted to you by vixmom with much bemusement, I spent about two hours talking to John Cage and only learned at the end of the evening with whom I had been chatting. Sometime in 1972 in Milwaukee.

At least you talked to him for 2 hours! Better than when I cold shouldered Jason Robards after Shadowlands because he wasn't Nigel Hawthorne. Vixdad was incredulous

Yes, perhaps so, and some of them deserve to get there.
