And then there's this kind of pathetic little B'way page on Facebook, started late last year by what appear to be people barely out of their teens. I noticed yesterday that they now do a - wait for it - topic of the day, which they amusingly call Today's Topic. Hmmm. And yesterday they used the expression "our very own" to call out a poster. Hmmmm. And today is something called "Free Pass" day, the day in which they get to post about any old topic they choose. Do we think this board has influenced them? I know what I think. Just waiting for the words "dear readers" to appear.

It would seem they're not even trying to hide their being an homage. It's none too subtle where their ideas came from.

Or at least so it seems.

Hmm, to Talkin Broadway's users' credit, and to you credit too, it feels like you inspired some thoughtful comments over there

Good morning. The state of current musical theatre has finally taken it's toll on this older person. I say older as the people I do shows with are much younger than me now. It's quite sad on all accounts. I recently turned down a gig at my "home" theatre because they chose Nice Work if You Can Get It = a show I have NO interest in at all. Not only do I have no interest in it, but I didn't want to spend months reducing the 20+ piece orchestration down to 10 for our tiny pit. You just don't take the time if you don't love the material. Well, that has been solved as we are opening our season with Chicago now, which I'm totally fine with. But my point, I agree with everything bk posted earlier about older shows and today's younger theatre crowd. It has to be LOUD, it has to NOT OFFEND, and it has to TOUCH people. No more having mindless fun at the theatre anymore. NO MORE FUN ANYMORE. Really???

On that note - I'm seeing Angela Lansbury in Blithe Spirit this evening. I'm excited to see a legend.

You lucky guy. I would love to see Angela one last time.

I threw my back out this morning.

I was fine when I got up this morning, but while having coffee, something slipped and I was down for the count. Too early in the day for pain pills, so I will just suffer for now.

Today is supposed to be the first of our warm winter days, but, so far, it is overcast ann not exactly warm.

TCB · « **Reply #43 on:** January 24, 2015, 12:43:38 PM »

The "weather people" have even started talking about the Northwest not ever having a real winter this year. Now that they have started saying that, I expect we will get snow within the next couple of weeks!

I guess I don't have to ask if we are having a SAG Awards viewing party tomorrow. I am guessing we won't have one until The Oscars next month.

TCB · « **Reply #45 on:** January 24, 2015, 12:47:16 PM »

The SAG Awards are live on the Left Coast so no spoilers are needed.

I was just watching my SCROOGE one last time before I put it to bed for the season. I just now realized that Bob Crachett has a nicer overcoat than Scrooge does. LOL!

DR Ben and Anthony just left after a wonderful visit. I've tidied up and I think I will do some work. Or nap.

So... THIS is happening a few blocks away from my house. It's called "Crashed Ice." The track starts just under the rose window of the Cathedral, and winds its way to downtown. Four skaters at a time head down the track at 60mph. 120,000 people come out to see it. I am content to watch it on TV and wonder at the insanity.

Cool!

Good morning. I spent yesterday hiking with a future in-law.

Might this be a future son or daughter in-law?
