Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a day to themselves, almost, and now it is time for you to post until the almost cows come home.

Good morning, all! This morning, in about another hour, I will drive to Wright State University! I want to stop at Central Pastry for a cinnamon twist to eat before I take my meds.

Tonight I will have dinner at the home of DR Ginny.

Yesterday was a really great day: I arrived in Oxford around 9:30, went to Grey Gables, where the offices of the alumni magazine exist and met Donna Boen, the editor. We walked to the alumni center for my parking pass and visited with several wonderful ladies including one of my lunch party, Heather Kogge.

I then went back to Grey Gables with Donna and visited until 10:45 or so. Then I headed to the university library and Special Collections.

At the library, I met Bill Modrow, who's been very helpful with several issues in the past month, his staff, and two of the people cataloguing my collection. One of them, a student named Tanner Moore, might be a distant relative; we seem to have family in the same parts of Ohio and Kentucky.

That collection of mine is huge!

Then lunch at 1:00 with former theatre dept. chair Liz Mullenix, now dean of the school of the arts; Heather of the alumni center; Janet Stuckey, the retired librarian in Special Collections, who supervised my first shipments in 2008; and Gion deFrancesco, the theatre dept. scene designer. It was great fun, and paid for by the alumni center. Thank you, Heather!

I got to the music library around 2:45, visited with Julia Guichard, the theatre dept. chair, who said she had no idea how many students would show up. Then I visited briefly with Barry Zaslow, the music librarian who has part of my collection, and his staff. Then at 4:00, I met with some theatre students - maybe 7-9 - and that was a great deal of fun. I liked then very much, and there were the usual questions about moving to NYC, work, etc., and I asked them questions on what they were majoring in, what were their plans after school, etc.

Today at Wright State, we'll talk about orchestration and musical theatre.

DR Jeanne, I hope your healing is progressing nicely.

good morning to all

Michael · « **Reply #14 on:** October 06, 2015, 04:57:56 AM »

Vibes of all kinds to those that need them

I was wondering if a play like Deathtrap could survive on Broadway with all the social media and chat boards out there. With all its twist and turns could it still work? SPOILER ALERT would probably be seen a lot. Any thoughts folks?

John G. · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2015, 05:21:04 AM »

Good morning, all.

John G. · « **Reply #17 on:** October 06, 2015, 05:24:00 AM »

Good question, Michael. There are similar spoilers in It Shoulda Been You, which I've guessed based on reviews and people don't seem upset at knowing those plot twists in advance. But that's a musical, not a mystery.

Kerry · « **Reply #18 on:** October 06, 2015, 05:52:09 AM »

I was thinking today was Wednesday-- or even Thursday. But I just realized it's only Tuesday.

Vibes to everybody--whatever day it is.

Surgery vibes for DR JEANNE.

Travel vibes for DR CHAS SMITH.

Continued Ohio vibes for DR ELMORE - it sounds like you're having a great time and are the Belle of the Ball!

We need more photos of DR ELMORE's trip.

Today is the birthday of former DR JMK who brought me to HHW sometime during the last century.

Happy birthday, former DR JMK.

TOD:
Well, since I recently lost about 23 pounds and I'm trying to keep it off, I've been shopping for snacks that are packaged in little 100-calorie packages and I take just one to work each day. Some of them are really 120 to 130 calories, which is okay. Anyway, I've been getting Gold Fish, Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies (my favorite) and Oreo crisps. And on our last trip to the grocery store, I noticed Cheeze-it has 100-calorie snack packs too, so I got some of those.

By the way, I would beg to argue with Sami that fruit is a great snack! I love fruit and always have - even when I was 14. I struggle to eat more vegetables and less fruit. I found it helpful on my diet to always have grapes or chopped up pineapple in the fridge because when I got a hunger pang, I could eat just five grapes or five pieces of pineapple, rather than having to commit to an entire apple or a pear, which I assume is more calories than five grapes. Well, it worked for me anyway.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 06, 2015, 08:12:51 AM »

That's a great plan DR AMY.

I like Chex Mix and pretzels because I can't eat TOO much of either.

It looks like new nrighbors are moving in. We still haven't met everyone in our building yet.

John G. · « **Reply #27 on:** October 06, 2015, 10:57:16 AM »

Looooong day so far.

John G. · « **Reply #28 on:** October 06, 2015, 10:57:33 AM »

And not enough accomplished.
