I should think almost everything should be closed today, JRand.

Happy happy birthday to dear Dr Ben!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And there's a whole lotta scraping going on outside my window... As well as a whole lotta tire spinning too.

The power was off when we woke up this morning, but it came back on a few minutes later.

Walking the dog, I froze my tuchis off.

Thanks Fred, Jose and Druxy!

I almost forgot

Happy Birthday to my birthday buddy, Iris!

Yesterday, I watched THE STRANGE DOOR with Charles Laughton and Boris Karloff.

I remember when that film came out in the very early 1950s, yet this is the first time I'd ever seen it.

I can, truthfully, say that this is one of the worst written, directed and acted films I have ever seen.

But, the sets and the lighting were terrific.

I just got an email from our record producer Judy, who's stuck in Indianapolis and hoping to get home tonight, so DR JRand60, if you'd like to slip'n'slide to the airport, you could kill time with my friend Judy.

I just got an order from

Worlds Records

I ordered it last week and it arrived on my Birthday. How appropriate.

I now have Barbara Cook and Michael Feinstein at Feinstein's at the Loews Regency.

I also have Gracie Fields American Farewell Concert from 1965

I also received a cast recording of an obscure British musical called

Share My Lettuce

with Roderick Cook and the lovely and young Miss Maggie Smith

BK,

I also watched THE SCORE again...and I still find it to be very entertaining.

Brando's performance doesn't bother me. I've never been a Brando fan, but in this one, he's fun to watch.

I knew Roderick Cook rather well; he introduced me to Elizabeth Seal at a now-defunct coffee shop on 48th and Sixth Avenue. We worked on several New Amsterdam Theatre Company productions and he was the Prime Minister in the premiere of my recreation of Cole Porter's JUBILEE in March 1986. He was a charming and very talented fellow who died far too early.

I just heard from Roberta at the Cole Porter Trust and she made it into the office. I guess I'm seeing the barber and having lunch with a friend today. Before I head downtown I have to stop at my bank and rasise a Major Ruckus.

Jennifer · « **Reply #47 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:21:25 AM »

We are having a very snowy day here too. But nothing like Chicago (probably only 15 cms). It's still a lot. But I can't even imagine the 24 inches or whatever they are expecting.

Jennifer · « **Reply #48 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:21:59 AM »

Happy Birthday to DR Ben. Hope you have a great day!

John G. · « **Reply #49 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:22:30 AM »

Happy, happy, Ben.

John G. · « **Reply #50 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:22:48 AM »

I don't think I know Iris, but happy, happy, too.

I'm so glad I didn't have to try flying into Albany yesterday (I know I've said it before, but I mean it even more after seeing pictures and reading about the sleet and freezing rain today). I wonder if the residency will even go on. One of the professors lives on the other end of the state.

John G. · « **Reply #52 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:25:35 AM »

It's 20 degrees here and the wind chill is strong, but no precipitation -- yet.

Rolling blackouts are happening, I guess, throughout the region, since DR Druxy also referred to them in Austin. One friend just e-mailed that she was without power for an hour, so she's staying undercovers for a while.

Thank you John and Jennifer

Hoo and Ray, Rob's car passed the inspection! However, the next (and, I hope, final) step needs to take place at the BMV and their computers are down. Of course.

Richard is home safe and says the worst conditions he encountered were in our own driveway.

DR ELMORE I think a total of six planes have flown out of Indianapolis International today.....hopefully Judy's will be one of the next ones.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #57 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:44:04 AM »

DR JOSE my friend Deb is going to a museum this afternoon, do you want me to see if she needs a guide? She is beautiful and a lot of fun.....a theatre person....and a regular person as well.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #58 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:44:16 AM »

I asked her which one.

My trash can lids were FROZEN, and I couldn't lift them off to put my trash inside.
