DR Jennifer I think you qualify for a higher ranking & will be surprised if they won't give you the vaccination with your sister's family. Do I understand this correctly, instead of going for 2 separate trips they are only going for the 3rd slot vs the 2nd?
bk - Call the cops. It's illegal to block someone's driveway. Just call the non-emergency number for your area.
Good morning. Looks really nice outside today. Sunny, low humidity. Nice.
Lazy bones.
Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And, of course, I had planned - dare I say "hoped" - to get out of bed earlier, but... Ah, well...
Or is it good afternoon?
Lazy bones.
Lazy bones.
Sung to the tune of Louis Armstrong's Lazybones
Also, in a quick spot-check, I couldn't get the Synopsis or the Liner Notes on Cry For Us All to come up - although the Production Stills are working just fine.
Please keep any thoughts coming! We're not recording it for another week.
Jose - I think this "A Little Night Music" revival coming up is not Roundabout, but a commercial revival.
Those work for me. They're both PDF pages so maybe there's something with your Adobe Reader?
Wow - I finally found an affordable copy of the original London cast of Bye Bye Birdie....Chita Rivera and Peter Marshall...with Marty Wilde as Conrad. I love the orchestrations and the slightly different vocals....except of course the guy who plays Harry McAfee....
Well, my exciting weekend continues apace. Last night, the pleasure of hearing my music done by two virtuosos, and today I have received an email from an L.A. producer who's in a production company with an Oscar winning actor on whom I believe DS Betsy may have just an itsy bitsy crush. ;) He is interested in developing a new FF feature and they want me to help. Is Venus in Uranus or something like that?

And to just think: We knew you when!!!
Except I fear there will be a train wreck of sorts at church today.
I'm about to venture out to meet Richard for another day of theatre and camping out around Midtown...bye for now!

So, half the clocks did reset themselves for daylight savings this morning. Only to find out that it's been moved up till next weekend. ... And then next year's time changes in the middle of November.
What a lazy day! I am feeling hungover although I've had no alcohol in over two weeks and I'm ready for a nap. I'm also listening to Maria Callas sing, and her rendition of "Vissi d'Arte" is so moving and sad that it moves me to tears. What an artiste!

Jennifer, the cars were indeed parked in front of and in back of me on the street. And they were literally almost right up against the front and rear bumber - there was no way at all to get the car out from between them. And they were there until one-thirty in the morning, whooping and hollering on the street like fifteen-year-olds. Since they're thirty, that makes sense since thirty is the new fifteen.

So, half the clocks did reset themselves for daylight savings this morning. Only to find out that it's been moved up till next weekend. I thought electronics were to be smarter than humans. Or are my electronics still living in the past. And then next year's time changes in the middle of November. So why bother buying anything that is preset.
That's all.

Actually, the tune is by Hoagy Carmichael with the lyric by Johnny Mercer.
And since those are the words, why would they have to be "sung to the tune of"? Although, there's also a "Lazy Bones" by (Robin) Thicke. Hmm...

I've had it for a while. If I had known you wanted it, I'd have made you a copy LONG ago.
I'm surprised no one has posted anything of this little thing (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091025/ap_en_mu/eu_britain_lloyd_webber_cancer) today. Whether we like him or not, we shouldn't want anything bad to happen to anyone.
Good morning. That is all. So far. Except I fear there will be a train wreck of sorts at church today.
I am very hungry. Time for dinner!
A friend on Facebook just sent me the performance of FINIAN'S RAINBOW on Oct 9, 2009, so I now have a file of the Act Two Finale I scored before it was cut. I am very happy to have it.

It's amazing what mentioning one little Oscar winning actor whose producing partner emailed me can do for the general state of one's marital bliss. ;)

DR Ginny it's too bad that you're having problems getting up your stairs. It would have been nice for you guys to have been able to come and go more often!
Good morning. That is all. So far. Except I fear there will be a train wreck of sorts at church today.
I'm sorry I missed this particular train wreck, but I've witnessed plenty of others there.

It was another cold cloudy and damp day today. A cold summer followed by a cold fall. It will be interesting to see what winter brings.
It didn't rain today, but looked like it could at any minute. This morning, I managed to clearn out the eaves on the garage and as much on the house as I could reach from the garage roof. Then it was lunch with Paul at Panera and back home for what started to be a lazy afternoon and ended up with a mostly clean garage and all the outside furniture etc put in the garage for the winter. Most of my neighbors have already put everything away. It's just been too lousy to think about being outside.

I read a little joke about him yesterday and thought, oh no something bad is going to happen now. :-\ I admit I did chuckle at the joke. The very good news is he is in the early stages and should be fine with treatment.
NOW you tell me, DR JMK!!
I hope that the new FRANCES feature will focus on her later years rather than making them footnote.
She spent more time in Indianapolis than she spent in Hollywood and New York.

Excuse me, Cilla, it is none of my business; but I thought you and Paul had a parting of ways? Am I confusing him with someone else?

I know someone who also complained about the coughing, and that this was the worst flu she ever had and unlike any flu she ever had. From what she was telling me, and personal experience, I suggested she bruised her ribs from coughing too much.
I've been that sick with the flu more than once. Maybe it was the H1N1.
How old is Gabe? I hope he doesn't get it.
DR Cillaliz - poor DN Adam. Hope he starts to recover very soon!!!! :(
I hope Adam gets well soon. How old is Adam?

No, he's a write in candidate, but the people who want the laws changed are a little worried that people will write him in instead of voting for someone who can change things
Cheyenne Jackson was very kind to the Vixter - much kinder than her mother who stupidly stood by with a camera in hand and never thought to use it!!!
We stopped by the Bye Bye Birdie theater before the matinee and the Vixter went in and asked for a Playbill - she was told there were no extras and was turned out into the rain
I did talk to Adam this afternoon. He said he was just starting to get the muscle aches. He said he initially thought they were making a big deal out of nothing with H1N1 and he laughed about it. He's not laughing anymore. It's the coughing that's bothering him the most.
My DH is also minimizing H1N1. I hope he doesn't get it.
Distressing ending to TAR.....but it had to be, I guess.
Sorry to have been so E & T
On the way back to the car we stopped by teh theatre again - this time I went in - I said we had seen the matinee (I didn't actually SAY it was THEIR matinee)and now I could not find my daughter's Bye Bye Birdie program in my bag (hardly suprising since it was at home and all wrinkled up it is too since she stuffed in in her pocket) and could they spare one -
this time the man at the door kindly obtained one for me - so JRAND - please IM me your sanail mail addy - its a color well as well! The Vixter only has a black & white copy
Sort of disappointing (and bad news), but tonight on the season finale of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA the host said that Mia Michaels would not be a judge.
They said that she was in a toronto hospital after seriously hurting her back while choreographing a number for the finale.
Thanks DR Laura, we all do, too. I'm taking it really seriously. I've only been really really sick once when I was living alone and I don't want to go through that again.
and speaking of witty repartee It is very nice to see Francois in these here parts!! and yes Cheyenne does have very mezmerizing eyes I must admit it
Another delightful day in Midtown - we had lunch at Junior's at Schubert Alley before the Royal Family matinee. What a treat to see this chestnut performed so well by such a talented troupe. After the show we walked over to Rockefeller Center to shop for souvenirs at the NBC store (30 Rock swag for Rob, Vancouver Olympics stuff for me and the girls in the family). Took a quick break at Starbucks and went to City Center to see Lynn Redgrave's Nightingale.
We stopped at a deli on 7th Ave. to get dinner for tonight and breakfast for tomorrow. They had beautiful flowers outside and a display of pumpkins on the floor inside. I cut a corner going toward the cookies and fell into the "pumpkin patch." I'm fine, but may have a bruise in an unmentionable place from landing on a pumpkin stem. Hope no one ever has to look at the security video...

You have a PM DR VIXMOM.

You are soooooo lucky! I've been really sick lots of times. Worst than alone is alone with 2 little children and no family around.

I also found it distressing even though i sort of dislike both of the last place teams. I thought the globetrotters were quite mean-spirited. But if i was the blonde girl's boyfriend i would have picked her up and thrown her off that slide. There is no excuse. People have fears, they are scared. But for a million dollars i think she could sit down, shut up and close her eyes. I was furious at her for being so uncompetitive. I'm glad her boyfriend forgave her. But she was being a whiny brat. I also thought she would do it. I mean there were others on the race who were afraid of heights and water. But really that girl did not belong in the competition. She was so bad at everything. And just sat there while her boyfriend built the glass things. Oy!

I've been really sick when I was living with other people. The thing that is so scary when I'm alone is I'm always afraid I'll go to sleep and no one is around to make sure I wake up.
DR DAW several months ago we were discussing the books TITANIC: THE SHIP MAGNIFICENT.
I did get volume two last month - volume one is still on back order. I switched my order from the two book slipcase version to the single volumes.
But.....save your money - more that 70% of the photos are of the same area of the ship of the Olympic...and not actual photos of the Titanic. There are some interesting things of course and good deck plans....but NOT worth the money....unless you would like to see the stairs on the Olympic that look sort of like the stairs on the Titanic.
and speaking of witty repartee It is very nice to see Francois in these here parts!! and yes Cheyenne does have very mezmerizing eyes I must admit it
Witty repartee?
Mezmerizing eyes ??? That's NOT what Nathan Lane told me!! :o ;D
Very nice to "see" you too! It's been said before but, on yesterday's pics you looked smashing!
Lost some weight (Stanley?) ? (Don't say! Don't say!)
The Vixter looks so much like you! Lucky she!
Once the other team arrived, they only had two minutes to begin the task or step aside anyway. I think if HE had gone first, she might have followed......

Funny, my reaction was the opposite - if he hadn't been such a jerk and almost did throw her down the slide, maybe she would have done it. I didn't blame the Globe Trotters. They didn't know how long they had been there or what she had been saying before they got there.
Once the other team arrived, they only had two minutes to begin the task or step aside anyway. I think if HE had gone first, she might have followed......
Or if he would have been a bit nicer about it. Just focusing on the money instead of focusing on her doesn't really encourage her to face her fear. I was glad the Globe Trotters are still in it. I like them

DRs Jrand and CIllaliz you should put the name of the show in big letters in case someone like DR Mbarnum reads HHW before watching TAR. You mentioned who was not eliminated at the end.
I don't think DR MBARNUM scares about spoilers. Knowing the end doesn't bother me either - it's a television show.

DR Cillaliz - I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew's illness and hope he recovers soon without passing it along to Gabe.
We all had the flu many years ago when the kids were in preschool. All at the same time. It was awful.
Speaking of flu, we had a funny thing happen at Junior's today. Richard was wearing a clerical collar and, when asked his name by the host, said "Father Palmer." We sat down to wait for our table and a couple came in with the husband wearing a surgical mask and gloves. They had a long conversation with the host about their "requirements" and were seated immediately. We laughed over the fact that, apparently, a mask & gloves can trump a clerical collar.

The Triffids conquered the UK and there were some wonderful moments before John Duttine and his family relocated to the Isle of Wight. I expected more chills, though. I read the novel around 40 years ago and I have no memory of it. This version seems to be closer to the book than the Howard Keel film.
That's my news. I think now I will watch some of Seaon 3 of IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA.

I watched all of the HOWARDS END bonus features. There weren't a huge number of them, but two of the documentaries were each almost an hour long, so it was a nice comprehensive look at HOWARDS END and at the Merchant-Ivory team and their previous films, too.
DR George - sounds great. I hope you enjoy this as much as we've enjoyed the HD broadcasts from the Met!!
We all had the flu many years ago when the kids were in preschool. All at the same time. It was awful.
And never again? You too are very lucky. I've had it way too many times in my life. I admit it has been a few years now and I hope it stays that way.

And speaking of Maria Callas, it was just recently officially announced that Tyne Daly will be portraying "La Divina" in Master Class this coming spring at the Kennedy Center (http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/index.cfm?fuseaction=showEvent&event=TKTSE) as part of it's Terrance McNally "Nights at the Opera" series.
