I slept rather well, for the most part. I remember only one dream, a long one, I was caught in the year 1979, working on a production of The Beggar's Opera.
-
This is a City Center day. Before I leave, I will call my friend Steve Heller and see if he can help me with this DVD player. I have no idea what things Joshie has for me to deal with today, but it will be fun to spend the day with him.

And did your rehearsal assistant get deathly ill with bronchitis like I did in real life?

No window washers yet, but I did find Page 2!

Several months back someone (was it BK?) alerted us to the fact that the ridiculously high priced I LOVE LUCY season one set on Blu-ray had suddenly hit a good price point. I forget what price that was, but I bought it then and placed the season two set in my Amazon cart to watch the price fluctuations on that. Well, it just paid off. Following months of jumping up and down from a high of $80 to a low of $56, today it's $35.99. And yes, I just stole it from them for that price.

But even more incredible, if you haven't gotten the season one, how does an Andrew Jackson sound?

Sadly, there are no other seasons released on Blu-ray. They killed it dribbling those two out at extravagant prices.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Happy birthday, FJL!
-
That's a very cutting word of the day.
-
Happiest of birthdays and bestest of wishes to DR FJL!
-
It sounds like there were some wonderful highlights at the show last night! Congrats to MR BK & Co.
-
Continued rehearsal/run thru vibes for MR BK and the other Co.
-
Thanks to everyone for the vibes for my Uncle Bob....we shall see.
It was great to see DR CILLA LIZ in last night!
I hope DR TCB has a good day today and a great flight home tomorrow.

My two terrible stage appearances both concern minor actors who don't bother to enter or ring doorbells.....
During Arsenic & Old Lace, a policeman is supposed to interrupt a rather heated moment by knocking on the door....nothing.....we ad libbed a bit waiting.....and after quite some time, he came in. He had been in the dressing room just looking in the mirror. Of course I blame our stage manager who was sitting at her computer playing a game instead of watching her script. The policeman had to walk past her to get to his place - a REAL stage manager would have known he wasn't there. Of course, they both thought it was hilarious that we were left standing there.....
-
Same thing last summer, when another actor and I were working to hide a body in a closet.....The Worst Actress In The World was supposed to ring the buzzer and talk to us over the intercom......NOTHING.....so there we stood carrying around a BIG woman wondering what to do.
The WAITW was backstage talking to another actor.....
AGAIN I blame the stage manager who was doing God Knows What....she didn't even know anything had gone wrong until we told her....and then it was....Oh....well.....
-
I won't talk about the WORST which was of course doing a scene in Dial M for Murder with my fly open......ever since then, it has been known around these parts as Dial Z for Zipper.
-
Happy Birthday, FJL!

TOD:
I wrote about this stage flub in my second memoir, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD. Since it's a bit involved, here's how I reported it in the book:
"Undoubtedly, the most outrageous stage flub I ever witnessed was in a performance of THE DESPERATE HOURS, presented at an Equity Waiver theater in West Hollywood. This was a play with which I was familiar. Not only had I seen the national company perform it when I was a kid in Seattle, but I am a fan of the 1955 movie that had starred Humphrey Bogart, Fredric March and Arthur Kennedy.
"I was at this new production because one of my publicity clients, Larry Pennell, was playing the Arthur Kennedy role.
"Based on a true story, THE DESPERATE HOURS by Joseph Hayes is about a trio of escaped convicts, led by Bogart in the movie, who take over a suburban household and hold the family hostage, as they plan their final getaway. In the William Wyler-directed film, March played the father and Kennedy was the chief cop trying to catch the criminals.
"In the play’s climactic moments, one of the convicts has been killed, the police have surrounded the family’s home, the wife and grown daughter have been brought to safety, and the father (March) has just forced one of the remaining convicts, played in the movie by Robert Middleton, out of the house into a hail of police bullets.
"As the Middleton character is ejected from the house, he drops his gun inside. The father retrieves the weapon, and then goes upstairs to
confront the Bogart character, who is still holding March’s young son with a gun that he doesn’t know is not loaded.
"I don’t recall the names of the actors who played the convicts in the Equity Waiver production I saw, but the father was Don Dubbins, a skilled performer and a familiar face on episodic television, but perhaps best remembered for a couple of films he made back in the 1950s, TRIBUTE TO A BAD MAN starring Jimmy Cagney and THE D.I. with Jack Webb.
"Now, picture this:
"In the performance of the play that I attended, Dubbins forces the convict (the Middleton character) out of the house, but the actor playing
that role neglected to drop his gun. Dubbins, after desperately looking about the stage for the absent prop, now must mount the stairs and confront the Bogart character without a weapon.
"Knowing the play as well as I did and realizing what had happened, I cannot express how badly I felt for Dubbins at that moment. In what
should have been the play’s most intense scene, he was now forced to ask the Bogart character 'nicely' to release his son and get out of his
house.
"I encountered Dubbins at a party a year or two later, and reminded him of that incident, which he said was the 'most painful' moment he’d
ever spent on stage."
-
TOD - Well, last week DR Elmore and I mentioned the beyond-awful Auntie Mame we were in back in 1975 or so. During the scene when Mame entertains the Upsons, the flaming drinks got out of hand and the couch caught fire.
Then there was the dress rehearsal for You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown when I, as Lucy, took a nose-dive off the edge during my down-stage cross at the end of the opening number. Director DR Elmore thought I was dead.
-
You fooled him DR GINNY! HA!
-
Yes DR DRUXY....that is most painful.....
-
TOD:
Vickie Lewis did an entire very complex dance number with two other people where she accidentally came out on stage with the entire length of a full-length gown completely unzipped. This was during the second act of "I Love My Wife". I don't know why neither Patrick Cassidy nor Jason Alexander zipped up her dress for her. When I asked Jason about it during a Q&A session after the show, he said if he even looked at her, he knew he'd bust up laughing.
-
I won't talk about the WORST which was of course doing a scene in Dial M for Murder with my fly open......ever since then, it has been known around these parts as Dial Z for Zipper.

Thanks so much, Jane!

Many thanks, JohnG!

I'm up, I'm up - overall I think I got six hours of sleep - would have been eight had I not awakened at five for two hours.

Nice review of last night's show. There have been really nice comments about the show on Facebook and I was probably being a little hard on myself in the notes, but the actual star rating Rob gives, despite the review sounding like a rave, is fair.

Nice, except Home Sweet Heaven is from High Spirits, not its source material, Blithe Spirit.

Back from an afternoon of Tivoli Gardens and mall shopping.
-
Great stories, DRs Druxy, Ginny and Amy.
Agreed! My most recent theatrical goober was just last year in "Laughing Stock" where I just forgot to come into one scene! I had several lines that, fortunately, the other actors were able to pick up, and afterward they also were, MOST graciously, very kind with commiserations of "that happens to everyone." I felt horrible, but at least I wasn't playing a major character and this wasn't a major scene with major exposition. ;)
-
Tivoli Gardens is beautiful and spotless.
-
Hundreds, if not thousands of pink tulips in full bloom.
-
Happy Birthday to DR FJL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
And I am home from City Center with a Violin part for the title song to recopy. The orchestra parts are not the best.
No word from Steve Heller, so I'm guessing he's not free tonight to check ot my DVD mess.
-
DR FJL,
Cake like that needs to be quoted.
Thanks so much, Jane!
You are very welcome.
-

Did you have any ice cream?

Talked to my friend, Mickey, awhile ago. She said Glenn had slept easily through the night and was sleeping much of today. He was awake earlier and got on his iPad to read a few emails. One was from me. It had a picture of the love vine or flame vine that they gave me a few year's back. It's not really supposed to make it this far north, because the winters can get really cold. Theirs died, but mine has proven to be one tough cookie and it's in bloom. She said he was pleased.

No, unfortunately not. We are running out of Krones and we were at a disadvantage with credit cards because a lot of small businesses won't accept a credit card without a PIN code.

Cab drivers are a big no-no. No PIN, no credit card.

Neither Ken, nor I have any PINs four our cards.

Every time you mention Tivoli, TCB, I think of the fountain in Rome.

I've never heard of credit cards having PINs, only debit cards. If you had one of those, would that work? I also know that debit cards don't have the protections that credit cards have, so that's an issue.

I've never heard of credit cards having PINs, only debit cards. If you had one of those, would that vwork? I also know that debit cards don't have the protections that credit cards have, so that's an issue.
I didn't want to try. This is the week that all my bills come out of my checking account. I don't want to risk any kind of screw up.
-
That would be Trevi.
-
The window washers left about an hour ago and I've finally had a shower. I could have done that before they arrived had I known that they wouldn't arrive until after noon. They'd given me a 10-11:30 time frame for their arrival, so I just threw on some grubbies in order to be dressed by 10. Oh, well, the windows are sparkling and it's not raining - yet.
-
Every time you mention Tivoli, TCB, I think of the fountain in Rome.
La Fontana Trevi, perchance?

Happy Monday to each one of you personages.

I shall soon be on my way to rehearsal.....my first of four this week.

Back from a Chinese chicken salad and a bagel. I shall now shower and then be on my way to a rehearsal. Hopefully everyone will be on time so we can get a complete run-through in before Mr. Yacko has to leave for a gig.

No word from Steve Heller, so I'm guessing he's not free tonight to check ot my DVD mess.
DR Elmore, is Steve related to Johnny Heller? He's one of my favorite audiobook narrators since he gave a presentation at Dayton Metro Library staff day before I retired.

OK, just curious...

Hello, everyone.

Oh, so yesterday wasn't just DR FJL's day off, it was his Birthday Eve, as well.
MEGA BIRTHDAY WISHES to DR FJL!!
May you have a GREAT day!

Vibes to JRand's UNCLE BOB.
-
Vibes to DR JOHN G's friend Glenn and coping vibes to John.
-
Continued vibes to TCB's friend Sandy and Larry's friend. Also to our missing DR Dan M.

Vibes of PATIENCE to all during this most exasperating Mercury retrograde.

This personage also just came off a three-day weekend during which he accomplished some things and allowed others to go unaccomplished.
Tempus may fugit, but I am going to take my time.
It sounds like Dear Personage Ron is entering pre-retirement mode.

Happy Birthday, FredJL!

This Monday has not been the COMPLETE pits, after all.
-
We made peach cobbler in a slow cooker today.
We have vanilla ice cream, as well.
A very find near-the-end of our Monday.
-
How much more fun could we make today?
-
I had salad for lunch, so this cobbler isn't too bad a treat.

Several months back someone (was it BK?) alerted us to the fact that the ridiculously high priced I LOVE LUCY season one set on Blu-ray had suddenly hit a good price point. I forget what price that was, but I bought it then and placed the season two set in my Amazon cart to watch the price fluctuations on that. Well, it just paid off. Following months of jumping up and down from a high of $80 to a low of $56, today it's $35.99. And yes, I just stole it from them for that price.

But even more incredible, if you haven't gotten the season one, how does an Andrew Jackson sound?

Amazon prices fluctuate greatly on some items, but not on others. I can't make any sense of it. There's a kitchen cart I saw last week for $62. It then went up to $84, down to $68, then back up to $84. ??
-
Just because it was a tad sweet for me, I could munch, munch, munch a bunch of Frito's....corn chips (the lightly salted kind).

Monday morning greetings! We are waiting for a crew to come to wash our windows inside and out. Of course, it looks like rain...
I hired a professional window washer before selling my last house, and wondered afterwards why I hadn't done it sooner. It's nice to look out of CLEAN windows.

DR FJL,

What a perfect cake!
-
Ron starts the page and then goes back to work?
-
Back to eating, I suspect. I think he wants some crunch after the too-sweet.
-
TRAVEL VIBES to TCB for a very smooth ride home.

There's an interesting article in today's NY Times about why people regain weight after successful weight loss. IMO, the "Biggest Loser" puts too much emphasis on rapid weight loss; slow and gradual is better. There are some new studies, as noted in the article, about how your metabolism slows down after weight loss.

Tom, have you seen many other people on the cruise with scooters like yours? I would think they'd be quite popular in some circles.
-
Jane, you mentioned a week or so ago that you're waiting for the open enrollment season for Medicare. I meant to mention that if you move then you don't have to wait. I don't know how long that window is, though.
-
I need to try to get a few more things done today. Like DR Ron, my to-do list awaits.
-
TTFN.
-
Tom, have you seen many other people on the cruise with scooters like yours? I would think they'd be quite popular in some circles.
There were several on the cruise, some of them were probably rentals. A lot of people commented on mine, and several on canes or in wheelchairs asked questions on the price and the different models.

That's understandable.

Salvador was the only stop on our last trip that we needed to get some currency. The rest of the time we used credit cards or went without.
I recall having the local currency in Copenhagen when we were there but I'm sure we also used credit cards.
-
Some of the lager shops in Tivoli could take the cards with the new chip, but others just said, "Sorry."

Thanks, however, it will be a year on May 16th since we arrived in Vancouver. That is way past the the window. Unfortunately it took a good long while before we realized it would be difficult finding a primary physician that accepts Medicare.

I hired a professional window washer before selling my last house, and wondered afterwards why I hadn't done it sooner. It's nice to look out of CLEAN windows.
We were only in Tiburon for a year and never got around to doing this. We have a very good one in Ashland and a good one in our second Michigan house, the home before Tiburon. We had the Michigan guy twice a year. He would change out the screens and the storm windows depending on the season.

It's Icelandair, I think we take the polar route, but I'll double-check.

DR TCB, do you have a nonstop flight back to Seattle?

Monday morning greetings! We are waiting for a crew to come to wash our windows inside and out. Of course, it looks like rain...
I hired a professional window washer before selling my last house, and wondered afterwards why I hadn't done it sooner. It's nice to look out of CLEAN windows.
We were only in Tiburon for a year and never got around to doing this. We have a very good one in Ashland and a good one in our second Michigan house, the home before Tiburon. We had the Michigan guy twice a year. He would change out the screens and the storm windows depending on the season.
That's what we wanted our crew to do, but when I called a couple of weeks ago, today was the first availability they had. We couldn't wait for the screens, so Richard, Rob, and I did that part ourselves.
I'm surprised you crew, if you normally use them, didn't call you to set up an appointment.

Thanks. I just put it on our calendar to do this.

We have an hour and a half stop-over in Iceland.

I looked on-line and read the PIN goes with the new chip cards. In the States we did not change to the PIN system with the chip as they did in Europe.
-
"Payment cards that comply with the EMV standard are often called chip-and-PIN or chip-and-signature cards, depending on the exact authentication methods required to use them. EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard, and Visa, the three companies that originally created the standard."

Good night, George!

DR Jane, we are sporadic users of this cleaning company. I can't afford to have this done too frequently. Once I just had them do the 4 picture windows, 3 of which are double-paned. They really hate doing those, especially since they broke the removable part of our bedroom window several years ago.

Then you are lucky they do your windows at all during the busy season ;)

Regarding the PIN in Europe.......
Keith's cousin, who travels a lot, has never needed it. It also seems, after a bit of searching, that Copenhagen likes to have a PIN ;D

We made peach cobbler in a slow cooker today.
We have vanilla ice cream, as well.
A very find near-the-end of our Monday.
i had a very different Monday from yours.
-
Well, it's time for me to leave for the theater.
Be back later.

Watching Eddie Cantor in "The Kid from Spain." Robert Young is a Latin lover with an awful mustache. And Bette Grable is in the chorus along with Paulette Goddard. Kalmer and Ruby did the songs. It's silly but fun.

Do those posts today make up for my scarcity of posts during the height of tax season?
-
I'm assuming not.
-
Maybe I can get us to page 7!
-
Not really that far away!
-
Skip made a delicious hazelnut cake
-
Skip was wondering if it was too dry, but it was wonderful.
-
And some great onion biscuits as an appetizer.
-
Are we at page 7 yet?
-
Sounds like a nice dinner, FJL.
Cake is all I would need.

Nice!

We've started the run and it's going fairly well. One particular actor is having trouble with his lines. I've noticed that he does during the final week of rehearsal in many shows that he's in, but he always pulls it together by opening night.
-
...usually.
;)
-
Intermission. Act one is about an hour and a half long :-\ but will be tightened up as the week goes on...hopefully.
-

They sound yummy.

Me too, if it didn't have hazelnuts.
-
But then it isn'the my birthday 😊
-
And we're done. It WILL tighten up.
-
Gotta go.
Be back later.
-
Back from a decent run-through and then I treated myself to The Smoke House's fish and chips - really good!
-
Act one ran one minute longer that usual because of fumfers and forgotten lines and lyrics. Act two came in at its best time yet - fifty-eight minutes, and that included fumfers and stuff. But we're still two to three minutes too long and that will have to come from picking up the pace - I have only one other cut I can make and it would take out five minutes, which would kind of get me where I need to be.
-
Well, crap.
-
I left my tablet at the theater.
-
So, one good thing about having a smartphone is that I can be on HHW without my tablet! But I REALLY better not make a habit out of it or anything.
;)
-
Well, I hate to do this, but I need to go to bed now. I want to go to work a little early because I need to leave work early to get to the theater.
-
Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
-
But...
-
...before I go...
-
Gratuitous Post #200!

And NOW I'm leaving. 8)
