...There was some talk about bringing the show back as a Main Stage production next season, but I almost hope that they don’t do that. You can never go home again, and trying to recreate the magic of this production would probably be a mistake.Then DON'T try to recreate the magic. Create NEW magic. You'll be with a partially different cast (they always are), with different expectations.
Oh well, wonderful memories!
Is Jose, like Ann, just sitting there like so much fish?
I simply don't understand why the notes aren't coming up. What browser are you using?Standard AOL, dial-up connection. Don't worry about it, I'll find them when I get up later.
You know the internet has reached the height of ridiculousness when husband and lovely wife are in separate rooms under the same roof, posting on the same damned site.

It's kind of like having two phone extentions in the house, so you can both be part of the conversation with another party.
DR RLP, re: your comment yesterday about not blaming the NY Jets' kicker for their loss. Well he did miss 2 field goals that each would have won the game. So who else should I blame? :)
Actually I was happy the Jets lost, since they beat San Diego last week. And my brother-in-law is a huge Steelers fan (he was NOT happy during last night's game).
Actually re: those 2 field goals. The first one was not really his fault. It was 47 yards or something, and he could only kick 46. But he should have made the second one! Add to that the fact that he did pretty badly last week! :)
There's a topic - when you were younger what were your favorite late-night eateries and what did you like to have.
elmore, nobody here but us chickens. What Styne song is Klea doing and for what album? We love Klea.

Bad, bad traffic accidents certainly show us how tenuous our lives are. We can be fine and dandy and one second later be gone.
I have been in one horrific wreck in my life, and it was my fault. I was stopped on an interstate waiting to make a left turn onto a side road. Traffic was coming so I was stopped. I looked and looked and saw no cars, so I turned the wheel, put on the gas, and ran slam bang into the driver's side of a car that had come over a hill going at least 100 MPH. If I hadn't just come from a dead stop and thus not going more than 5 MPH, we surely would have been killed. I was a junior in college, so all of this was a long, long time ago.
I've always thought The Ghost and Mrs. Muir would make a good play/musical.

I have a few memories of the TV show. Wasn't Charles Nelson Reily (spelling?) on the show?
Ozderek, I have an autographed copy of Love Is Where It Falls...as you say lovely book about an unusual love story...

Ron, was it Shonee's or Shoney's? I'm assuming it was the Big boy franchise in the South...which brings up an interesting question how many different names were the Big Boy restaurants known under? Through much of the South, it was Shoney's Big Boy, I believe. In Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati where I grew up it was known as Frisch's Big Boy. Out here in California, it's known as Bob's Big Boy. Any others...?
RE your other questions.... I might have a hard time explaining Chooster to airport security, so he'll stay home and guard the home environment. I just hope he has no wild parties.
I checked on average temps for that time of year and it said the high was around 48 degrees F with a low of about 34. I understand that cold is a colder cold then the cold I’m used to at those temps. Did that make sense? I ordered some wool pants as a just in case, along with some thermal underwear/socks since I don’t do cold very well.
.
. Lots of bumps and bruises, aches and pains for us...will probably have to see a doctor just to get an all clear later this week, but thankfully no one is dead or seriously hurt.
Now the hassle of the insurance and getting a new car, etc. I hate this crap. But I'm alive. I wasn't so sure I would be as I watched that car loom up on me.
Yes, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir was turned into a pretty wretched musical - it's been workshopped but never staged. I can't remember who wrote the score, but it was very mundane - not a good thing for a Ghost and Mrs. Muir musical. The music just droned on unmemorably, and the lyrics weren't so hot either. The book was by Dale Wasserman. The woman who held the rights, Anita Berman, produced my play, The Good One, in tandem with Varese Sarabande.
Well, that (pardon my language) sucks. :(
I could see that show as a kind of Harvey. You would either have someone play the ghost or just play off of people reacting to the ghost.
DR Elmore, do you think there is a good chance it will snow? I would very much like to see that!
Last night I attended a remarkable recital by Miss Renee Fleming at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Los Angeles Music Center, Dear Readers.
DRJay, who accompanied her?
SAY HELLO TO HARVEY opened (and closed) in Toronto in the early 1980s. Leslie Bricusse wrote the score, and Donald O'Connor and Patricia Routledge starred. I didn't see it, but if I recall the reviews were not dreadful. I think the husband of a friend stage-managed the show, and I'll see if he can provide more details.
Will we be having regular Golden Globe reports? It IS tonight, isn't it?
I, of course, like the late-night food topic. I'm thinking about driving in my motor car to Glendale to visit Bookfellows. I've been told there is a fantastic place across the street called Porto's where they have extraordinary pulled pork sandwiches.I remember Portos always had a crowd at lunchtime. It's got a reputation for being the best Cuban bakery (http://www.portosbakery.com/) outside Cuba and Miami.

Out here in California, it's known as Bob's Big Boy. Any others...?Bob's Big Boy is the original. At the Frisch's Big Boy website (http://www.frischs.com/timeline/timeline.asp#), they acknowledge that Dave Frisch was introduced to the sandwich by it's originator, Bob Wian of Glendale, Ca, back in 1946. It was Wian who developed the double-decker burger, slicing the bun into three parts and putting two patties between the parts. Frisch's contribution was to switch the Thousand Island dressing to a homemade tartar sauce.
It didn't stand a ghost of a chance.
This may seem like a silly question, but...
I fell asleep watching 1776 this afternoon. (Didn't finish it last night and I guess I'm more tired than I thought.) Anyway, when I woke up, there was a charming duet between Wm Daniels and his absent wife, then something which seemed vaguely familiar... and I realized I had seen this section before. Sooo, my question is - If a DVD ends and nothing is done (ie - the watcher is asleep) does it start to play again? ???
Where in tarnation IS everyone? You'd think the Golden Globes were on. And speaking of such things, where in tarnation IS Jane?
I forgot the F.That's OK, Danise. I figured the F was implied.
What I find funny about King of Queens is that it's been on for seven years and I've never heard of it before last night.
The only spoilers I'll offer about the Golden Globes is that they are full of surprises,
That's true! There was one moving moment so far - when a certain winning TV actress with a dead movie star mother said her father had been with her mom 49 years ago when she accepted an award and he was with her tonight -- and they cut to him weeping in the audience. Perfect awards TV.
I've eaten a couple of tortillas with butter - which I enjoy doing from time to time.
What am I, doing a monologue? No one can seriously be watching this show and even if they are seriously watching this show are they just SITTING there while seven minutes of commercials go by.
I feel that this year we shall have the haineshisway.com awards. What do you think, dear readers?
Good evening all
This afternoon I was lucky enough to see National Pastime, starring our very own TCB. I was, for the most part, very impressed by the production. As always, TCB gave an outstanding performance. Some of the scenes were pretty intense, but he handled them beautifully. The rest of the cast was basically very strong. In my mind, the weakest scenes were between Jackie and his wife Rachel. The chemistry was just non-existent, and the romance was forced. I think the actress playing Rachel was talented, but she had trouble with that particular character. Jackie was good overall, but had trouble with some of the more personal scenes. In general I enjoyed it very much...I wish all DR's could have seen it.
I didn't have time to stay around and see TCB afterwards, sadly, I had to get home to see my mother and aunt, who were stopping by breifly on their way down to Eugene. They're driving down as we speak...good vibes for their driving.
I'm a criminal defense lawyer,
The sink in my kitchen is making very loud noises. It's grugling for no reason. LOUDLY!
Any ideas as to what this could be? Jose? You seem to know about such things. What does a wildly gurgling sink mean? It's making my head hurt more.
And, I repeat... It in NOT rats.
I don't think Redford has done anything, but it's hard to tell these days.
oohh.... Spooky... You answered the question before I asked it!
Spooky....
;)
What will the award be called? There's the Emmy, the Oscar, ...the what?
The Bruce? The Fish? The Hainsie? The Benjie? The Kritzie?
