Thanks for all the VIBES for my sister-in-law!Quote from: Jane on July 15, 2011, 12:40:15 PMDR Jose if it is thyroid cancer the survival rate is extremely high as is the quality of life after treatment. Even the treatment is better than most.DR Jane - Thankfully, the treatment and cure(?) of thyroid cancer is quite "easy". It's just so weird that the cyst developed so fast - even her doctor was shocked. Additionally, other forms of cancer run in her family, so they're hoping it's not related to something else.

The livingroom hasn't been this clean in ages. I have my corner where I sit and it tends to get very cluttered. Not tonight. YEAH!Hopefully you won't oversleep tomorrow, DR Cillaliz.

I hadn't realized Anna Massey died until I was reading an old VARIETY this morning. Did that get posted here?

The guests won't arrive until 6:30 or later...with this crowd usually everyone is fashionably late, so I have plenty of time.

Are the lesbians in it?The only modern translation is Robin Buss' for Penguin Books and it now seems to be out of print. I just ordered a copy on Abebooks; it's like THE THREE MUSKETEERS; about every five years I want to reread them.

Quote from: Jrand60 on July 15, 2011, 04:52:06 AMThanks to all for the CBTD vibes....we had a fine opening night.....the show is pretty ordinary with some bright spots....but the audience - all 188 of them....enjoyed it very much....and done by 10 o'clock!We may sell out - which will be good for us! My cousin Lita, the director, dedicated the show to my parents. She used to spend a lot of time with us in the summer, and she loved being with so many kids at one time. That was very sweet of her.Great to hear this. So you're a major part of it in spirit. That's lovely!

The donors party was the reception immediately following the performance: open bar and desserts. I guess "we" all had figured that some "real food" would be available - provided - later to the cast and crew. "We" did see trays of food from CostCo sitting on the staff kitchen counter, so... But those trays turned out to be filled pita chips, vegetables, hummus and cookies. -Better than nothing. In the end, no one was truly disappointed or felt cheated. And most of us were just tired anyway after such a long week.However, there was plenty o' food in the greenroom before the show. Lots of opening night goodies that various people brought in: candy, brownies, pies, a bushel of just-picked vine-ripened peaches(!).Jose, I'm curious about something. Is there much interaction between the cast and the orchestra before and after the performances? At Tacoma Musical Playhouse there is a lot of camaraderie, but they use a lot of the same musicians every show, so becomes kind of a family. When I did GUYS AND DOLLS at Seattle Music Theatre the cast and musicians had only a nodding acquaintance.Since you will all be together until October is there a closer interaction?

Many vibes for your MRI tomorrow DR TCB.
I just watched and absolutely beautiful movie which Netflix had delivered to me this week. The film is UNDERTOW. It is a Peruvian film (my first one!) and it is about a married fisherman who is in love with another man. It is a ghost story and one of the best films I have seen in a looooooooooong time.Here is the trailer, if you are interested.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91BTpgqfbQIBeware, the movie has some nudity in it, however.
