THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO APPROACH A PROBLEM

Well, you've read the notes, there were two ways to approach the notes and I chose both, and now it is time for you to post until the two-way cows come home.

BK, that's horrible about the stage.  Shows always have a bit of an adjustment when going from the rehearsal space to the real set, but I've never experienced anything like you've described. :-\

Last week, I got my eyes checked and my prescription only changed for my contacts, not for my glasses.  Weird, huh?  Anyway, I picked up my brand new glasses (the first time I've gotten new frames in about 10 years) and they're very nice.  They're Silhouette frames.  Click HERE to see a very large photo of the glasses that I got.  They're frameless.  I've never had any like this before and I like them a lot. :D

I won't be around much today or for the next few days. I am swamped!

It was nice to have a day off but between now and Wednesday I'm so busy I'll barely be away from my desk.

Bye.

Good morning, all! I'm off to inventory more of John McGlinn's property. On Tuesday, I opened a box that contained a lot of personal papers: a lot of credit card receipts, some very sad letters from 1998 and 2007 begging his agent to find him work, propposals for possible concerts with the BBC, programs, etc. There were two very fascinating documents pertaining to two canceled projects with EMI, Kurt Weill's LOVE LIFE with Thomas Hampson and Judy Kaye and Damon Evans as the MC character and OKLAHOMA! with Thomas Hampson, Rebecca Luker, Paige O'Hara, and Paula Laurence. I susepct that casting Pula as Aunt Eller was his gesture to Paula after promising her Parthy in SHOW BOAT and then casting Nancy Kulp.

After that, I have more Moross work here when I return;

So sorry DR TCB. I would talk to someone about that lady. Even if the mistake was not hers, she should never have spoken to you that way. That's not acceptable. They should have called you before they gave the kitty away to discuss the matter!

I like those glasses a lot and plan on my next pair of glasses (hopefully soon) to also be frameless.

Good morning!

Another day of near 90 temperatures. Right now the windows are open, but by noon, that will change and the AC will be back in charge. We have not had any rain though it's been in the forecast for the past two days.

I have one more episode of LOST and then the bonus features to get through today. The review is written apart from the bonus feature detailing.

I just got another box of Fox Blu-rays to review, and if there is time tonight, I need to first tackle HOME which came out on June 5th. Two others (THE SIEGE and PREDATOR 2) came out this week, but I will work on MIRACLE and LOST - Season 2 before I do those Fox discs even though they'll be a week late. Serves Fox right for not giving the same kind of lead time that Disney and Criterion and Paramount give with their review material.

Another potential topic:

If you could bring back one classic television show for another season of episodes, which would it be and why?

Your fantasy Tony Awards ceremony:

My fantasy Tony Awards would be pretty much the same as what BK described the other day: 

Broadcast ALL of the awards
Move back to a B'way house (prolly the Minskoff where the ceremonies were held for many years)
Invite an audience of nominees, Tony Award Board members, upitty-ups of the Theatre Wing, producers, etc.
Utilize presenters who are directly relevant to the current theatre scene
Require the nominated Musicals to present an actual number from the show--not a medley
Allow plays to present scenes (though, to be honest, this has rarely really worked)
Ask winners to have something prepared other than an endless list of people to thank (they actually mentioned that this year and I think it came close to working)
Keep the ninety second speech rule--but allow for rare exceptions
Keep it light, keep it bright...
