They are a handsome bunch, aren't they?

I'm glad for the photos because I've worked with Curtis for four years on this musical theatre project, and I'v never had a photo of him. I think we're long-lost relatives.  I like Tom, but I don't know him well, and Curtis' writing partner Matthew Brookshire is one of the most talented people I know.

Well... Just a correction.  Nancy Lamott died in 1995.  She is still missed.

Curtis took this great photo of Nurse Jane and me last October.

Hmmm... I'll have to check with Curtis to see if Matthew will be coming up to see the production.

I just got a call from my sister (I'm still at work) and our parents are coming over to her house.  I'm off to visit with my folks!

The bookwriter in profile looks just like Noah Wyle of E.R.

And Mizer and Moore have got to be the handsomest male writing team ever!

BTW, did I mentioned my b.f. works for Curtis Moore on some musical theatre project?  :)

Trivia (and where else could you find trivia about Mizer and Moore):  Tom Mizer played Steve (named after the star of the TV show, whose name actually was Steve) in the phenomenally successful Blue's Clue's tour not that many years ago.   When the show played Radio City, Mizer's face loomed over Times Square for several weeks, IIRC.

AH!!!!  That's where I know Tom's face from!!!!  I remember him from the promotional materials for the Blue's Clues tour/show when Disney was hosting a production down at Disneyworld.  *And there were actually some nice songs in that show - and I still regret not making copies of the audition materials from that round of auditions.

No, no planned HHW gathering. DR Vixmom tried to organize a gala during my few days there, but no date suitable to all could be obtained. Maybe next trip.

Had a nice evening out with my NYC traveling companions. We went to a Mexican restaurant here in town called Salsa. I ate way too much. I usually have my major meal in the early afternoon and either don't eat at night or eat lightly, but knowing we were all having a bon voyage dinner tonight, I had just a snack for lunch.

We came back to my friend's house and had Cookies 'N Cream ice cream for dessert.

Hope all that food doesn't keep me awake tonight.

After dessert, we went up to my friend's home theater I helped install back in January, and we watched PHONE BOOTH. Neither of my traveling companions had seen it, and even though I had, I enjoyed seeing it again.

Hopefully, our sojourn in NYC will be a little less frenzied than Mr. Farrell's in the film.

OK. This is my last post for several days. I do not believe I'll have internet access while in NYC, so I'll have a full report when I return Sunday afternoon.

Take care, everyone.

DR Ron, is it warm where you are?  It sure is warm in Mt View, not much wind, though.  Stay cool and drugged :)
Actually, Oakland was rather pleasant all day.  I slept the better part of the afternoon away.  

My headache is gone, which is the main thing to be happy about.

Many thanks to all and sundry (or sunmoist) for the vibes today.

Am feeling better.  I've even watched a couple of Disney films on DVD...."Toby Tyler," which retains all the charms I remember from seeing it as a boy in its first theatrical release.  It still brings tears.

And then "Summer Magic" which is a pleasant bit of fun with pleasant songs and a lovely old house you couldn't buy today for under $1 million in some parts of the country (under $2 million in a few "prestige" locations), but which Hayley's family were renting for $60/year.

Ah, the 1960s!  (or, in the movie, those "ragtime" years).

Ain't the movies grand!!???  

:D

DR TCB, one could not possibly ask an audience to believe that a man so young could possibly have fathered a man Jed's age. I know there's suspension of disbelief, but that's just going too far! :)

Oh Jason, I love you!

Good news MBarnum.

I actually have to decide it I'm going to make a trip out to California next weekend.  A good friend of mine is working on the San Jose Jazz Festival and asked me if I could come out and work on it for a week.

I feel very fortunate- 2 weeks ago I was faced with leaving my job a month earlier than I had planned.  And now I have more opportunities than I know what to do with!

TPunk, if you come to California, I'm afraid you will have to have a stopover in Los Angeles, so we can have a mini-gathering in your honor.

Well...  Not really... Since peanut butter is a plant derived food, it does not - and can not - contain any cholesterol.  Cholesterol is only found in animal tissue.  So, unless Skippy starts adding bacon fat to their line of products...

The time is 1:07am. The temperature outside is 85F. The temperature in our living room right now is 88F. That's not right.

Thank God it's 25 degrees cooler in my room. :)

Goodnight.
