Well, you've read the notes, you know all that is happening, and now it is time for you to post until the mentoring cows come home.

A Very Happy HHW Birthday to DR Sandra, Lover of FLOOP and DD (that's Dear Daughter) of DearReaderLaura!!

Sandra also loves her some Cherry Coke and has done one of the most extensive pictographic studies of Las Vegas carpets ever to be devised.

I'd love to have dinner (individually or together) with the Big Three (to me

): Betty Buckley, Patti LuPone and Bernadette Peters. I don't know what we'd talk about. I'd probably just stare at them.

Happy Birthday to DR SANDRA.

And a belated birthday wish to MR NICK REDMAN who produced the STATE FAIR cd that will ALWAYS be one of my favorites!

MR BK you will be a wonderful mentor and I would guess your line will be OUT the door....with many people taking notes and many others stopping to stare....

To those in NYC that might be interested:

The Film Forum will show Frances Farmer's film noir AMONG THE LIVING (starring Albert Dekker and Susan Hayward, Frances has a supporting role) - along with THE SPIRITUALIST with Lynn Bari & Turhan Bey on May 22 at 8 pm. The address, I think, is 209 W Houston with more information available at www.filmforum.org

Hmmm.....well I have had dinner with the BIG Broadway personality Jose Simbulan....let me see....

Probably a lunch with Dame Julie Andrews. I would like to talk about MY FAIR LADY and of course THE SOUND OF MUSIC and V/V....and just listen to what she has to say about whatever she wanted to talk about.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2006, 04:53:18 AM »

Oh....at her house of course.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 22, 2006, 04:54:55 AM »

Off to work.

Yes, MR BK photos from the Courts show would be wonderful! And Miss Cecily is in the nun's chorus of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, and she received her wonderful signed CD last year from Mr Tony Walton and was very pleased and appreciative. I hadn't seen her to ask her about it until last week. Thank you for helping make someone very happy!

DR RODZINSKI....I am surprised she didn't point out Rockefeller Center for her fellow diners.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 22, 2006, 05:49:19 AM »

Oh DR CILLA LIZ - when you're meeting up with Scout today, don't forget the Putnam County Playhouse - we're doing TKAM this September and anything that you can get for our display case will be appreciate. We will of course reimburse you!

Thanks!

Good morning, all! I got out of bed at 6:30, decided I was feeling poorly, and went back to bed for another hour and a half! The rains hae come and the temperature has dropped and my body is not at all happy about it. So, no jaunt to Toyland today, and I will play with Cinderella here at home. IK have timelines to do for cast changes and musical changes in[/i]THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER. Second-rate Victor Herbert is better than a lot of first-rate crap today, but the score, to me, has none of the inspiration of BABES IN TOYLAND.

DR George, I love Ms Lupone, and I think it would be fun to visit with her, but the other two ladies would be tortuous. One of them is certifiably insane.

I would like to spend more time with Rosemary Harris, whom I got to know during sessions for THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER, in which she plays the Fairy Godmother. She's one neat lady.

Quick Saturday morning greetings! I have to be "on stage" soon for the April edition of Grantseeking Basics, but I wanted to stop in and say:

Happiest of Birthdays to DR Sandra!

In you honor, I will try to find a Cherry Coke to drink today.

And belated birthday greetings to DR Jane's DH Keith!

Bye for now.

"DUMB" ANIMALS

When I was housebreaking Angie, I would clean up her mess with a paper-towel and then take her, and the towel, out to the yard to show her where it (the mess) belonged.

Last night someone peed on the hall floor. I got down on my hands and knees and mopped the puddle with a small white towel. Angie watched me, then she grabbed the towel from my hand, dashed out the doggie door, dropped the wet towel in the yard and came back in!

She also loves going out in the rain - so you get the fun of 30 pounds of dripping wet puppy jumping into your lap!

Next time - sea monkies!

And the next day, have lunch with the Big Two (Bette Midler) and just stare at them!

Me - I think I'd aim for a different triple-treat: Angela Lansbury (film, stage, TV) - and just try to keep her talking.

This used to be the stuff some films were made of:

Say What: Naked carpenter offending clients
Press-Telegram wire reports
Long Beach Press Telegram

OAKLAND — Most carpenters work in coveralls or at least pants and a shirt. Police say Percy Honniball prefers to do his work in his birthday suit.
"It's more comfortable," said Honniball in a phone interview Thursday. "The primary reason is so I (won't) dirty my clothes and have to get into my truck with dusty clothes on."

But not everyone is tolerant of nude carpenters. A homeowner called police when he arrived home early and found the worker buck naked.

"He got upset and he said 'You have to leave,"' Honniball said of the incident.

Oakland Police Officer Jesse Grant said when asked by the homeowner what was going on, Honniball "didn't address the fact that he was naked, only that he was sorry that he was behind in the work" building bookcases.

Honniball had been caught working in the buff three times before in Berkeley.

Honniball said Thursday he doesn't plan to work naked again.

I wonder if our DR TCB needs any shelving or hardwood floors?

I don't think so. I remember how much you liked the series Surface, and I think you just want your very own Nimrod.

Good morning!

I was awakened this morning by torrential rains, or I might have slept the eight hours I was hoping for. I only missed it by 20 minutes.

It has rained all morning in alternately light and heavy doses, the heaviest rain we've had in months. SUpposed to continue well into the afternoon. Ah, well, a day inside is just fine with me.

A reminder to those who like actress Helen Mirren (and who doesn't?)

Her starring tour de force as Elizabeth I comes on tonight on HBO. Well, the first two hours of the four hour miniseries comes on tonight. I can't wait to see it!

S. Woody White · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2006, 08:09:57 AM »

The problem with the Honnibal story is that no mention is made of what the guy looks like.

I mean, sure, he could look like Chris Meloni, but then he could also look like Rick Moranis. Or Stubby Kaye, instead of Peter Palmer.

Another thought: Does he also do plumbing? Or would that be redundant?

Matt H. · « **Reply #27 on:** April 22, 2006, 08:11:08 AM »

Angela Lansbury would certainly have been my first choice as a dinner companion. I'd love to pick her brain about her MGM years, her scramble for roles after her MGM contract expired, the Broadway triumphs and flops, and, of course, her TV career with MURDER SHE WROTE and afterward.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #28 on:** April 22, 2006, 08:13:36 AM »

Hello, Danise! I hope you're feeling better!

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** April 22, 2006, 08:14:37 AM »

As far as an actor to have a dinner with, that's a trickier proposition. Ian McKellen might be fun. He's had a varied career of stage and screen. Might also like Kenneth Branagh or Derek Jacobi who have mixed, stage, screen, and television.

American actors? Well, Paul Newman perhaps since he's worked with so many wonderful directors and had such a long career.
