Topic of the Day:  the first play that I thought of was "Noises Off."  I was in a local production about 15 years ago (I played Tim Allgood) and we had a blast!

Like DR George, I first thought of "Noises Off," which is a blast, when staged properly. I also love Noel Coward's "Hay Fever" and Wodehouse's "The Play's the Thing." I can still laugh myself silly at "Comedy of Errors," "Taming of the Shrew" and parts of "As You Like It," so that Shakespeare fellow is no slouch, either.

Heavy rain and LOUD LOUD thunder again last night and this morning.  Flood warnings, but not for us....YET.

So far today the inner web is behaving.  Last night as I came home about 10 p.m. - there were three Comcast trucks with yellow flashing lights parked on the street over in Millionaire Acres (I always take a short cut through there) - so maybe someone rich had demanded that the area service be fixed NOW!

As I was looking through my inventory of stuff last night, I realized I had the same BLITHE SPIRIT video.  THere's something slightly off-kilter about it in that it's just slightly speeded up--when that maid makes her first entrance I thought she was going to overshoot the archway...

Good morning, all! After several weeks of rather calm behavior, the ass from Canada who wears 2-ton shoes had a big night: around 10pm, lots of noisy squeaky bed which settled down before 11, and than a racket as the stormtroopers left early this morning. It was such an unpleasant surprise that I put on my glasses to check the time: 4:01 am. I hope the racket meanshe's moving out, but i doubt it.

Today, around 11 am I have a trip to Toyland for an editing session with Mr Skip Kennon. I like to get there early, get the AC going, run through my to-do lists, and chill out. I proofed Joshie's new piano part for an unpublshed Herbert manuscript yesterday, and I'll proof the cello part as well.

I have nothing else to report, so I'll sign off with the TOD:

Hopefully, what you're paying is the cost is for the whole job and not by the hour.

It is by the job.  I think you missed my post saying they made up the time once they switched out the shovel for a different one.  They did a fantastic job & didn't cause any damage to the side of the driveway.

Today they graded and rolled & prepped the foundation.  This company came in with the best bid & in our opinion are doing the best possible work with top quality materials.  As they ripped up the previous driveway all the mistakes were revealed, including the fact a poor quality asphalt was used.

And speaking of niece Taylor, I am on my way to making her a Bollywood fan. She indicated a couple of months back that she would enjoy having some India Festival music (as she calls my Bollywood music when she hears it in my car).

So, this weekend  I got her the CD soundtracks to DOSTONA and JANNE TU YE JAANE NA. She absolutely loves them and she has been making her parents play them in the car whenever they drive someplace, while she looks at the CD inserts with the Hindi lyrics written out and has been pronouncing the titles to the songs pretty darn well.

Before I write to him, I would like a simple answer - has anyone heard back from dear reader or not, Jose. 

I did not write him.  I can see on FB he isn't answering direct questions.  He has put up a few photos and that is about it.  I think for awhile he didn't have a connection.  I have no idea if that is still a problem.  My guess, he is recharging & taking a break from the commuter, other activities & catching up with friends he hasn't seen in a long while.

Why would anyone want to do that when they could be with friends HERE? :)

I've been having a fun e-mail volley about the benefit - they sent me a suggested song list and I could see right away they were getting confused with the cut songs and the flop musical songs - they had half and half.  I explained that we had to do one or the other or that we could split the acts and do half cut songs and half unsung songs - that might be fun, too.  So, we're having a phoner in the morning to hash out the details.  I want to make absolutely sure this is all real before getting too heavy into it, but I've already asked Adam Cates to choreograph.  They've already spoken to a musical director, which I kind of wish they hadn't.  However, if he says no, then I'll either ask Todd Ellison or Lanny Meyers to do it - if not them, then maybe Larry Goldberg, who did The Brain in NY.

And speaking of niece Taylor, I am on my way to making her a Bollywood fan. She indicated a couple of months back that she would enjoy having some India Festival music (as she calls my Bollywood music when she hears it in my car).

So, this weekend  I got her the CD soundtracks to DOSTONA and JANNE TU YE JAANE NA. She absolutely loves them and she has been making her parents play them in the car whenever they drive someplace, while she looks at the CD inserts with the Hindi lyrics written out and has been pronouncing the titles to the songs pretty darn well. She just found it all very fascinating.

Part of the fascination had to do with my taking her to Festival India last summer and then the other month she went to a birthday party for her friend Shreya and Taylor was the only non-Indian there.

The problem with musicians at benefits is that they, unlike the actors, get paid - even if they were willing to volunteer, they get paid.  So, it gets way too expensive to have twenty musicians.  But the ten we had for Bacharach sounded great, the revival of both Little Me and Bells are Ringing were rescored for ten players and both sounded pretty good.

Sorry, I doubt the driveway will be photographed.  I should have taken some yesterday instead of asking Keith to.  The poor guy worked extra hard outside & didn't have a spare moment, not that he was interested in taking a photo. 


Why won't it be photographed?  Several of us would like to see it.

The problem with musicians at benefits is that they, unlike the actors, get paid - even if they were willing to volunteer, they get paid.  So, it gets way too expensive to have twenty musicians.  But the ten we had for Bacharach sounded great, the revival of both Little Me and Bells are Ringing were rescored for ten players and both sounded pretty good.

Because the orchestration was part of the fun and made the numbers sound like they came from a Broadway show when there actually were orchestras in orchestra pits, not a revival where 10 players is a big orchestra.

There is a woman whose husband died on 9/11, and she has written a book about her experiences and other families experiences with signs and messages from their loved ones from beyond.

Okay, maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but she certainly has a right to publish it.  There is an interview with the author over at lemondrop.com (or something like that).  Anyway, the comments that some people have posted about the author and anyone else who believes as she does; are horrible, vicious, and nasty.  If people don't like the topic, or don't beleive in it; why not just change pages, instead of calling this woman every name in the book?  What is wrong with people today?

I loved "The Dinner Party" with John Ritter and Henry Winkler at the Mark Taper Forum. I also really loved seeing Alan Alda in "Art" (also at the Taper). His character reminded me so much of my own dad, who tends to think that anything he doesn't like is crap. But I think my favorite is a one-man play called "Fully Committed" that I saw with Jason Graae. It was one of those shows where my cheek muscles were sore afterwards from smiling the whole time. But I think my cheek muscles are sore after every show I see with Jason Graae. He just has one of those great goofy faces that makes you smile whenever he smiles.

I took my mother to her friend's house to pick up a spiffy walker that should help her walk more securely to the common areas of her apartment building.  We then went to Kroger, where there was no wheelchair with a basket, so we went to Meijer and did her grocery shopping and some of my synod shopping.  On the way home, I shopped for a retirement gift for someone I hired at Miami University 30+ years ago.  Her reception is Thursday morning and that will leave just one person still on the staff from my short, and not-so-sweet, career as an administrator.

Okay, maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but she certainly has a right to publish it.  There is an interview with the author over at lemondrop.com (or something like that).  Anyway, the comments that some people have posted about the author and anyone else who believes as she does; are horrible, vicious, and nasty.  If people don't like the topic, or don't beleive in it; why not just change pages, instead of calling this woman every name in the book?  What is wrong with people today?

I don't understand why people waste their time like that.  One of the reasons I stopped getting our local paper is because they printed those comments.  I remember one poor woman put an ad in the paper for a support group for people who lost their cats.  The horrible things people wrote about her, and the paper printed them.  This was nothing compared to some of the other things they printed. 


Maybe I am just more sympathetic because of the sign I got from my mom after she was killed, which I believe I have told here before.

I think Jane was talking about the crazies who post the awful things about people, not the story itself


Oh, I know!  Jane would never call me a crazie.

I have decided not to shave - I shaved yesterday and people in the restaurant who might want to kiss me will just have to make do.

I prefer the un-shaved look.

I love that about you, but then I love everything about you.  Except that you never do anything I want you to and haven't since you were sixteen.

That doesn't look like a blush, Jane, that looks like a face that wants to eat the head of a chicken.  And no, I hope no animal activists take me to task for that comment.

Can you get the face changed?  What about the laughing grin, personally I think it is somewhat creepy looking,. ;D

You don't have to be sympathetic to be bothered by the cruel comments.  Like the woman wanting the cat loss support group.  So what, roll your eyes and move on.

I don't think we'll actually get hail, that's predicted farther north.  My mom is replacing windows at the lake.  She's the one who is really hoping the hail hits the windows.  She's put everything  (including her tomato plants that are in pots) in the garage and covered everything else she cares about so that it can hail.   It probably won't, but she's prepared

Hey! Maybe the hail could hit the friend in the head!!! Actually, when I was in the baseball sized hail storm at the lake, the news went on and on about this idiot who went out in it and got hit on the head and had to go to the hospital.  We laughed and laughed and laughed at the stupid tourist. 

A couple years later when they hired a new lawyer at the FPD to work in the office with me, he said "Oh, you lived at the lakes?  I was there once in this terrible hail storm and got hit on the head"  I almost fell off my chair

Absolutely for real.  He had some story about how he was at a resort and they told them they had to go to a tornado shelter so he ran out in the hail and got hit on the head.  He did go to the hospital but was fine. I didn't stop laughing for days

Cilla, I wish you could find someone to fix your windows for a good price. On a nice older house like yours it's always good when you can keep the architectural integrity. Glazing the windows is a major pain (pane) and sometimes it's hard to find the people who want to do it. Pella makes nice windows and you might get an energy credit for installing them.

DR Edi, I would like to fix my windows, although they aren't really nice old windows, they are pretty ordinary double hung windows.
My biggest frustration is that I can't seem to find a contractor who will do it. I think HWHC must know someone - he's restored 17 houses, for god's sake, but he just tells me to find someone when I ask for suggestions or volunteers to teach me so I can do it myself.  I am very frustrated about it.  Everyone else (including the historic preservation people) tell me to just go ahead and replace thme with windows that are consistent with the architecture.   I'm going to get Pella windows that are wood on the inside and will stain them to go with my woodwork.  They will look nice.

I didn't want to spend the money, but I'm going to do it and will get the credit this year.   I'm just going to replace the dining room and one bathroom window now.  they are in the worst shape, so restoring the living room and other rooms isnt' out of the question for the future if I can find someone

I've been worried about Barnum all day. He wouldn't eat most of the day. But just a few minutes ago he ate like a teenage boy.

The kittens all come to me now to be fed. They are only allowed to eat while I am holding them. It sounds mean, but hunger will make them willing to come to me; otherwise, they would hide and never become adoptable.

DR Edi, I would like to fix my windows, although they aren't really nice old windows, they are pretty ordinary double hung windows.
My biggest frustration is that I can't seem to find a contractor who will do it. I think HWHC must know someone - he's restored 17 houses, for god's sake, but he just tells me to find someone when I ask for suggestions or volunteers to teach me so I can do it myself.  I am very frustrated about it.  Everyone else (including the historic preservation people) tell me to just go ahead and replace thme with windows that are consistent with the architecture.   I'm going to get Pella windows that are wood on the inside and will stain them to go with my woodwork.  They will look nice.

I didn't want to spend the money, but I'm going to do it and will get the credit this year.   I'm just going to replace the dining room and one bathroom window now.  they are in the worst shape, so restoring the living room and other rooms isnt' out of the question for the future if I can find someone

We spent weeks trying to dig the old glaze out of our 100 year old windows. It was almost petrified. I was expecting to break a pane getting some of it out. We never did finish. Maybe when we retire...

I'm watching Jason Lee's new series MEMPHIS BEAT, and I really am enjoying it. My friend Celia plays Jason's mother.

They seem to have a good music budget, for the pilot, at least! I like it so far!

It's not here yet.  The news is saying maybe later tonight. So, I'll stay up and read until either it hits or is past us.  I have set up my little area in the basement.  The cats carriers, two flashlights, a battery operated radio with new batteries... I've put on my jeans and will take my tennis shoes with me to the basement.   I usually set it up down there at some point during the summer and have to go down there usually once or twice. 

Waiting for the weather guy to tell us when and if it should hit

I don't know why I feel bad ignoring FB invites when they don't send a message with them.  I just don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Many of these are people who are just trying to collect as many FB friends as possible. They are easy to spot and I ignore them. Usually they are young gals or insurance salesmen.

Woah, I'm all caught up.  That was fun

Today was the funeral.  The Mass was great, the music was just right (Matt's pick up choir... it was mentioned that there should be a FB page dedicated to Matt's pick up choir's)  and the reception at the house was full of love and friendship.  Two Aunties flew in from Pennsylvania last night and will leave tomorrow (both in their 80's) and it was so nice to see them.  So, I'm home tonight trying to get motivated to do some edits on the All Shook Up MT Pit orchestrations, but it ain't happening.  4 more days until we fly away to Cancun.

I believe DR Jose and former DR David (can't remember his HHW name) are the only one from here on my Facebook.  And I kinda like it that way.  It gives a reason to check in here and post an update once in a while.
