George, thanks for the link to the kiss my ASS t-shirt - I bought it.

Cool! I hope you post a picture of it when you get it!

Hmmm....
Is a new CD in the works?

BK,
You commented that She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named's Avatar reminds you of Edith head - Well it should: it is the image of Edna Mode from the Animated Film "The Incredibles" which was intended to be a caricature of Head.

Ben and Ant are wonderful hosts! I hope they had the yule log on the TV!
You're no small shakes yourself sister!
Yes, we had the Yule Log and festive holiday music including Charlie Brown and Leroy Anderson. It was quite festive.

DR Ben - So... How early do you think you'll be finishing tomorrow? I really was hoping to make it down there last week, but, as I alluded to earlier, I've been in research mode the past couple of days. In any case...
I really do admire the work that you and Ant and the rest of the volunteers do around this time of the year. On behalf of some of my friends past and present who benefit from your generosity, "Thank You".
We begin around 10am and will probably be done sometime around 1:30 or 2pm. If you can make it, great, if not, unfortunately, there is always next next year.
One of our dear friends, who is a client of Actors Fund, receives a bag every year and he always tells us how much it means to him to receive the contents. It makes the whole time worthwhile.
And again, a big thank you to Kevin for jumping in yesterday as a newbie and emerging as a Hero member, even if his numbers don't show it yet.

Tuesday morning greetings! I'm up early today to get some puttering done here at home before going out to help Mom pick out the new carpet they're going to install in her home-to-be. She's color blind and has always depended on others to help with big color decisions. We'll also take the measurements of her furniture along and try to get some idea of what will go where.

Good morning, all! Today, after the move to a new law firm, this is my first day back to the McGlinnventory in some time. We're now at Park Avenue and 23rd Street, which means a subway to 23rd and a crosstown bus from Seventh Avenue to Park. Following that, I need to stop at Toyland at 6th and 27th to pick up a book from my desk, and then I am off to MTI at 54th and 10th to drop off the remainder of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA score.
I'm currently proofing the Moross score to RACHEL RACHEL, which I hope to finish today or tomorrow, and then I move back to his Civil War show, GENTLEMEN BE SEATED. I need to win the lottery big time so I can do recordings of this show and THE GOLDEN APPLE. He's too good a composer to be unperformed or unlistened.

TOD:
I'd love to have a Winston Churchill autograph. I think he was the greatest man of the 20th century.
I do, however, have a Simon Wiesentahal, who I greatly admire.
Among my many most cherished show biz signatures are autographed lobby cards of Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Orson Welles, Clark Gable, Randolph Scott, Ronald Reagan, John Garfield, a LC from STAGE DOOR signed by Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball, a LC from KISS ME KATE signed by Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson, Ann Miller and Tommy Rall, etc.
I also have some sheet music, signed by George M. Cohan, Al Jolson, Fred Astaire, Maurice Chevalier, etc.

On this date in 1973 (mind you, not 1873) the American Psychiatric Association caused great controversy by declaring that "homosexuality does not meet the criteria for being a psychiatric disorder" and quit classifying it as a mental illness.

>>>haven’t had that in a while, but whilst we were having fun, one “person” had to show up and do her business. And that’s all I’ll say, because she obviously gets off on having the attention.
Hi, Bruce!
Not at all. If a "certain person" hadn't mentioned my name here, I wouldn't have had to post anything. You dont' want me to post here, don't mention my name here.
As for getting off on the attention -- pot, kettle, black.
I mean, come on.... someone starts putting signed postcards in books and all of a sudden it's your idea? And you want them to tell every single person who buys such a book that it was the idea of the great Bruce Kimmel? It is to laugh!
Couple of days ago you posted that YouTUbe URL to the Brain. Not enough people waxed rhapsodic about it...so you post it the next day! Then people realize you're a bit ticked off, and t hey rush in to say good things about it...
Not enough people wax rhapsodic about your new CD...so you complain about it and then of course your friends wag their heads ruefully and say, Jeez, he's off again, I'd better go praise it.
Heck, I'm sure the CD is just great...but do you really think anyone would have the nerve to say otherwise?
You and your pecedillos are well known, and thought of fondly, I"m sure.

I did a LOT of autograph collecting back in the early 1990s...and of course, continue to do so whenever I am able to attend the Hollywood Collectors show in Burbank.
Among my most favorite autographs are Dorothy Neumann, June Kenney, Pamela Duncan, Penny Singleton, and Gordon Mitchell. Actually all of my in-person autographs mean a great deal to me. One of these days I will scan them and show them off.

Good morning!
It was very mild this morning, and I actually could have done my walk without a sweatshirt. Very odd for the middle of December. It's foggy and a trifle misty here, too.
-
Unless something pressing arrives in the mail, I shall have today off. With only one disc in the review stack (8 1/2 on Blu-ray) and it's not coming out until January 12th, I feel I can wait a bit to tackle it.

I am invited to my friend Jeff's house for dinner tonight. He and his boy friend are arranging an "introduction," not something I asked for, believe me, but it should be a pleasant evening, and if I make a new friend at the end of it, so much the better.
-
I have a script from the first season of LAW & ORDER: SVU which is signed by all of the cast regulars then (which means Dean Winters' name is there but Ice-T is not, thank goodness).
I've got Patty Duke's signature around here somewhere, done when she was doing her television series (I was a big fan).
And lots of Playbills with signatures - Ann Miller in MAME and Brian Stokes Mitchell in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN come to mind immediately.
-
GLEE led all TV series with four nominations today in the Golden Globe Awards nominations. It got nods for Best Comedy/Musical Series, Best Actor for Matthew Morrison, Best Actress for Lea Michelle, and Best Supporting Actress for Jane Lynch.
MODERN FAMILY was also nominated along with THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK and, ugh, ENTOURAGE, all for Best Comedy Series.
MAD MEN got Best Drama SEries, Best Actor, Best Actress (January Jones) nominations.

CBS as an all new slate tonight so new episodes of NCIS, NCIS: LA, and THE GOOD WIFE.
NBC continues its singing competition.

I don't collect autographs, persay, but have hundreds of autographed books, many by favourite authors. Two favourite autographs are a letter I have by H. Rider Haggard (author of SHE and KING'S SOLOMON'S MINES) and an autographed copy of the Knight's Code that I wrote for DRAGONHEART which was Sir John Gielgud's working copy which he used when he played the Voice of King Arthur in the movie. It has his notes on it, lightly pencilled in, and is inscribed to me from him.

Well, looks like my morning internet surf has come to an end. Guess I'll head downstairs and watch more PERRY MASON. I only have two episodes left in the set before I can start on THE MENTALIST's first season box.

LOL 3D CONFUSION - I mentioned your name last night only because I wasn't sure it was you being an ass at BroadwayWorld, and lo and behold a little while later, you claimed the honor. Thanks for the confirmation. I now know for SURE that you are an idiot and an internet flamer of the absolute worst kind.
I will say nothing more about your post this morning - it speaks for itself and yourself.
-
Autographs.....well I have a few that I wanted:
Allison Hayes
Frances Farmer
Carroll Baker
Gale Storm
Now and then I see something that I want - one that I am NOT interested in is Sarah Palin - the 3D CONFUSION of politics.
-
I'm just curious--could 3D be the long ago Cora of Amazon fame? ;)
BK, did I miss something--which FSM release are you talking about? Freud?
-
Very sneaky, JRand. LOL.
-
I have lots and lots of interesting autographs from various and sundried people. Of course I have many Frances autographs, which belies the commonly accepted myth that she never signed anything. I even have some interesting "group" autographs with her, and in fact some "Group" (Theatre) autographs, LOL, including several pieces of sheet music signed by her and her co-stars like Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Jon Hall, etc. (Unfortunately World Premiere had no title tune, hence no group auto with her and Barrymore ;) ). I also have her autograph on some interesting paraphenalia, including her 1935 passport, a beautiful big pastel portrait done for the Washington Post when Golden Boy was on tour, and a bunch of the Golden Boy Playbills (one of them interestingly also signed by 20th Century Fox's Arlene Whelan, who was never in the play, at least that I can tell).
In the political world, due to my father's prominence, I have a ton of senator and governor autographs. Plus, as I've probably mentioned before, I have a personalized letter and signed picture from none other than Richard M. Nixon. Unfortunately 18 words are missing from the letter, so it's a bit hard to decipher. ;)
-
TOD - My souvenir program book from my first Broadway show - original cast Cabaret - was autographed at the stage door in 1967 by 4 of the 5 principals: Joel Grey, Lotte Lenya, Jack Gilford, Bert Convy. We missed Jill Haworth because we didn't recognize her - as Sally she had short dark hair and in real life she had long blonde hair. I took the same program book to a touring Cabaret at Cincinnati's Music Hall in the mid-1980s and Joel Grey re-autographed it.

Great story DR GINNY!

Very sneaky, JRand. LOL.
Yes, it was - but I am old.

I do remember when BK thought the end of Cora's name pointed to a perpetrator, but I always wondered if it was an anagram of Arco. Could Cora/3D be a session musician from one of BK's projects?

Thanks, DR JRand. That show was such a great one with which to start my Broadway theatre-going. And, to top it off, my mom and I saw it from Lotte Lenya's house seats. Mom worked at a bank with a woman whose brother had some connection to LL.

I went to the US Post Office this morning to mail a couple of CD's.
I mailed a CD and card to a friend I worked with at the Dept of Labor for many years. I mailed a card to my friend Richard who lives in Hillsdale, NY, I mailed the MISS SAIGON book back even though I haven't been sent any postage money yet, AND a mailed a CD and two lumps of coal in a nice red bag to my sister Molly.
It was not crowded. There was a youngish woman waiting next to me. The clerk returned and told her she had 7 change of address cards on file. I guess a letter had been returned and even though she had her current address in the return area, it had gone to one of her old addresses. She went crazy and started yelling and said she had only lived in two places in the last year - it was a most loud and obnoxious rant. And she said she thought "Tony" had taken care of it last time she was in - so that means it had been a problem before. Who knows how many changes she had and how many addresses she had. The clerk finally walked away after saying she would see what she could do. The woman kept ranting and raving as someone who knows she is wrong is wont to do.
THEN at the Dollar General Store, the ladies at the register are glad that Tiger is taking a year off from golf - they think it will help his relationship with his wife - but they are convinced he will do it again.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I really do hope that the pain in my lower back will "pass" soon, if you get my drift. Otherwise, no complaints about anything or anyone.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
One of the few autographs that I wish I had would be Matthew Broderick's. -Mainly because he was the only actor not to come out to the stage door after the first Wednesday matinee during the previews of Biloxi Blues. My Playbill is signed by everyone but Mr. Broderick.
As for historical figures, if I had something signed by John F. Kennedy, I'm pretty sure I would cherish it greatly.
When I worked as a summer clerk for the Coast Guard, one of my duties was to get the officer promotion certificates signed by the Secretary of Transportation and the President. I would head over to L'Enfant Plaza, go up to the Secretary's office, and then sit in a closet with a "signature machine" for a few hours. So... *However, any special commendations were sent directly to the desk of the Secretary and the President whenever possible.
-
I have a personalized letter and signed picture from none other than Richard M. Nixon. Unfortunately 18 words are missing from the letter, so it's a bit hard to decipher. ;)
I have a personalized autographed copy of Nixon's SIX CRISES. He was up in Seattle signing copies prior to his run for Governor of California.
-
There have been another string of weird incidents on the New York City subways over the past few days... Yesterday, a man was killed on the tracks at 110th Street as he tried to retrieve his MP3 player from off the tracks himself. (Instead of waiting for a station attendant with a long-handled "grab stick".) And last night, as I was heading back from Queens, there were police above ground at 50th Street and 8th Ave. They had closed off the station, and had apparently stopped the E Train for a while. -A friend of mine who was coming in from Queens at the time was kicked off his train at the last stop in Queens. -I read the reports the about the incident at 110th this morning, but nothing is coming up about what happened at 50th Street. ???

I just received word that Abraham Lincoln Brigade historian Carl Geiser has passed away at age 98. Carl lived in Corvallis and was a font (fount?) of information about my late Uncle Charlie. I think in fact that Carl and Charlie had been POW cellmates in Spain, IIRC.

RE: Barbary Coast
Yes DR MICHAEL S - it's a bit of a mystery. I shall keep my eye out for a TV GUIDE from that week - none on EBAY right now. And it should have the network listings for 10/20/58 no matter what local edition it is.
We shall discover what this is all about. I am sure the world will not rest until we do.
DR JMK I used to watch the BARBARY COAST show you wrote about....I think Dennis Cole was in it....and maybe Rod Taylor. It was way back in the 20th century. :D
Shocking news reports DR JOSE. Be careful out there. :-\
-
Autographs. Well, I still wish I had Angela Lansbury's. . .I do have a nice note from her late husband Peter Shaw though.
My first autograph was from Vincent Price, who was doing a lecture at my high school. He signed his autograph and gave me a big hug.
I treasure the cds which I have had autographed on the Varese/Name-that-Not-Be-Uttered/Kritzerland label, including Jason Graae, Alice Ripley, Michelle Nicastro, Susan Gordon and of course, BK, among others. Off the top of my head:
Judy Kaye. Karen Morrow, Paige O'Hara, Michael Piontek. I'm certain there are more.
Betty Buckley, of course.
Barbara Cook, too.
Oscar Winners:
Shirley Jones (cds and dvds). Kevin Kline (PIRATES OF PENZANCE souvenir program, also signed by Tony Azito), Stephen Schwartz (WICKED cd and The Stephen Schwartz Songbook). Dame Julie Andrews (many cds).
Raul Julia autographed the novel KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN as well as the OBC of NINE and the OST of MACK THE KNIFE.
And I, too, have an autographed copy of Richard Nixon's SIX CRISES, acquired when I was in grade school at a PTA sponsored White Elephant Sale.
And then there's the dvd of THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL. . .yep, BK, autographed that as well as the dvd of NAKED SPACE.
-
In the world of cabaret, I have autographs from David Campbell, Lee Lessack, John Bucchino and Philip Officer.

>>>haven’t had that in a while, but whilst we were having fun, one “person” had to show up and do her business. And that’s all I’ll say, because she obviously gets off on having the attention.
Hi, Bruce!
Not at all. If a "certain person" hadn't mentioned my name here, I wouldn't have had to post anything. You dont' want me to post here, don't mention my name here.
As for getting off on the attention -- pot, kettle, black.
I mean, come on.... someone starts putting signed postcards in books and all of a sudden it's your idea? And you want them to tell every single person who buys such a book that it was the idea of the great Bruce Kimmel? It is to laugh!
Couple of days ago you posted that YouTUbe URL to the Brain. Not enough people waxed rhapsodic about it...so you post it the next day! Then people realize you're a bit ticked off, and t hey rush in to say good things about it...
Not enough people wax rhapsodic about your new CD...so you complain about it and then of course your friends wag their heads ruefully and say, Jeez, he's off again, I'd better go praise it.
Heck, I'm sure the CD is just great...but do you really think anyone would have the nerve to say otherwise?
You and your pecedillos are well known, and thought of fondly, I"m sure.
I don't think it's my pecedillos (sic) that are in question here - they are yours. But let's break it down for our dear readers:
First of all, this woman was on a Doctor Who board complaining about ME. Let's just ponder that for a while. I've never posted on a Dr. Who board and, in fact, have never seen the show - but she goes on there and posts about ME. O-kay.
Second of all, if a book dealer from out of town had begun putting signed cards in books, maybe I wouldn't have mentioned it. Since it's a local dealer, and one I know well, and one to whom this site is known - I don't think it's much of a leap to figure it out. Of course, that doesn't suit your peculiar pecedillos (sic).
Third off, I re-posted the URL to the Brain clip because I think the clip is adorable, not for people to post things. Some people are too busy to occasionally see all the posts and therefore I occasionally re-post things. You really are a bit insane, I think.
Fourth off, I don't consider the particular CD in question "my" CD - I would post the same thing no matter who released an incredible Elmer Bernstein score or two. But that doesn't suit your pecedillos (sic). Anyone who knows me at all (you're not one of them) knows I cheerlead other label's CDs ALL the time. And yes, on the occasion someone hasn't liked a CD we've issued, they've said so. And though I know you know this - they're not talking about the quality of the packaging or sound, they're talking about the MUSIC - it may not appeal to everyone. But that doesn't suit your pecedillos (sic).
Fifth off, I apologize for feeding the troll - she really does follow me around wherever I post - and she really does have a plethora of usernames with which to attempt to cause problems. But its obvious when it's her - I mean, like when an actor's acting slip is showing, 3DDiffusion's pecedillos (sic) slip is showing.
Sic indeed. Go away on your own. Otherwise I'll just make it easy for you to never post here again.
-
And I'm up - I didn't get to sleep until after two, so I needed the sleep.
-
DR ELMORE - I can't use Micro fiche - I get car sick.
-
Que es "pecedillos"?
Maybe that is a foreign word for cranberries.
-
LOL....I don't think I have ever been referred to as a "certain person", but it is kind of intoxicating.
-
Cranberries!
-
Oh, and I forgot to mention in my post - kiss my ASS.
-
The sun is sort of out, depending on which minute it is.
-
Much colder today here - no spring like weather to be sure.
I now own LA DOLCE VITA which I will watch this evening. I also bought WHAT'S UP DOC? for only $5.79.....and LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME for the same price.
I also got a copy of Leo Lerman's journals for just $6 including shpg. It is an interesting book, so far.
-
I'll tell you what just occurred to me and which says all that need be said about pecedillos (sic) - Jrand made one comment in a post buried in the middle of a lot of posts - that means that a certain person must read every single post on this board every day. Seems kind of creepy to me - I'm sure the certain person would say she just finds it all amusing how everyone's pecedillos (sic - and especially mine own) are on display, but that would not tell the story, oh, no, that would not tell the story. The story is one of obsession and must include a subplot about some perceived slight the certain person must think she received from the likes of me. That's the only thing that makes sense. Of course, rather than simply write me about it, she creates many usernames and begins to follow me around the Internet, finding whatever chat boards I occasionally post on, and doing her thing. But her pecedillo (sic) post speaks for itself and I shall say no more, oh, yes, I shall say no more - EXCEPT - kiss my ASS.
-
Who is Leo Lerman - why does that name sound familiar to me?
-
Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? Has this film ever been on video? I've never seen it and would like to.
-
Some signed things I have that mean a lot to me: A first edition of Thurber Country signed by James Thurber and has a little drawing of a Thurber dog. Love that.
All my Ira Levin first editions signed to me - especially Rosemary's Baby, which contains a lengthy inscription hoping we'll get to do Drat! The Cat! - which of course we did.
-
Here's a link to the book MR BK. Can be had for less than $5 - and more than worth it. I think DR JMK mentioned him some time ago.
http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Surprise-Journals-Leo-Lerman/dp/1400044391/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260903415&sr=8-1
-
DR JOSE your "fail" link was most amusing. I looked at several of them - some funny, some sad - some just....Bee-zarre.
-
Dakota, your new avatar is very pretty.
-
Others that are personal to me:
First editions of Gypsy and Anyone Can Whistle inscribed to me by my close personal friend, Stephen Sondheim.
First edition of Damn Yankees with a wonderful long inscription from Richard Adler. Same with The Fantasticks from Harvey and Tom.
Notes from American classical composers Robert Ward, Homer Keller, and several others, when we did their CDs at Bay Cities.
Signed LPs of Providence and This Earth Is Mine - by Rozsa and Friedhofer.
-
Yes indeedy - one must read EVERY post on HHW because it may be referenced a few pages hence and you will be LOST!
-
Thanks for the link, Jrand. I'm pretty sure I had some sort of contact or correspondence with Lerman in the late 80s during the Bay Cities days.

I'm thinking of toddling over to Hugo's for some pasta papa. Or not.

I haven't had pasta papa in a week, so I could toddle over there and have some. Or not.
-
And just because it needs to be said: Cranberries.

Good morning!
It was very mild this morning, and I actually could have done my walk without a sweatshirt. Very odd for the middle of December. It's foggy and a trifle misty here, too.
i'm envious. if the weather were nicer i could go for walks, nothing wrong with my legs. i simply can't get my warm clothes on.

Buddy Hackett was doing a show at the WinterGarden with Eddie Fisher. One night after the show at the bar, Eddie's ex Miss Elizabeth Taylor was Topic A. All the show biz types were saying what they would offer La Liz to appear in one of their motion pictures....a million dollars, a million and a percentage....etc etc.
Mr Hackett said he would offer her "one thousand dollars." Everyone at the table was aghast and questioned his sanity. Mr Hackett then replied: "I would offer her one thousand dollars. She would say 'Kiss my ass' - and that's all I wanted to begin with. "

And how is our Jane feeling today? I hope she hasn't turned into a hophead.
-
At long last page four.

Thanks for the link, Jrand. I'm pretty sure I had some sort of contact or correspondence with Lerman in the late 80s during the Bay Cities days.
Sounds like one your pecedillos to me.
-
Elmore, thank you for sending bruce my address.
Congratulations to joshie!
-
I'm just curious--could 3D be the long ago Cora of Amazon fame? ;)
BK, did I miss something--which FSM release are you talking about? Freud?
Not Freud, which is a Varese release. An upcoming release, so I cannot mention the title.
-
Jrand we did indeed enjoy miss Allison hayes. Last night we watched another episode with her in it.
Who sang the bat masterson song?
-
I have answered many e-mails and even had a telephonic conversation with Miss Lauren Rubin - we're lunching on Thursday.
-
Bruce do you use Microsoft outlook? Keith has an easy to use contact list there. It is separate from our mailing list. I have no idea how it is done.
-
And how is our Jane feeling today? I hope she hasn't turned into a hophead.
i hope not.
i am concerned i will be addicted to the pain meds by the time i can get off of them, so far i cannot reduce them, very unusual for me.
i have PT this afternoon which might mean i won't be up to using the computer. i really hurt after PT.
-
I must have Outlook since I have Microsoft Office Works for Apple. But I've never used it.
-
You'll get off your meds fine - you are strong, you are invincible, you are JANE!

On this date in 1973 (mind you, not 1873) the American Psychiatric Association caused great controversy by declaring that "homosexuality does not meet the criteria for being a psychiatric disorder" and quit classifying it as a mental illness.
And on this day in 1791 (according to my 2009 Futurama calendar (http://www.amazon.com/Futurama-2009-Wall-Calendar-Groening/dp/0061450375/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260904550&sr=8-1)), the Bill of Rights was ratified. :)
-
You'll get off your meds fine - you are strong, you are invincible, you are JANE!
;D
and addictions run in my family, remember ;) honestly i don't know how anyone can get addicted to this stuff. i plan to reduce it slowly to prevent withdrawal, i'm just impatient to be at the stage.

Here's a link to the book MR BK. Can be had for less than $5 - and more than worth it. I think DR JMK mentioned him some time ago.
http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Surprise-Journals-Leo-Lerman/dp/1400044391/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260903415&sr=8-1
I did. I was reading the journals in 2007 and posted about them on June 13, 2007. I wrote:
I have nothing else to report after my second sentence at the moment, but to mention how much I am enjoying Leo Lerman's journals, which I'm reading before going to bed. I'm reading about Henry VIII on the subways and buses.
Lerman's journals begin in the 1930 and I'm currently in the 1970's. I didn't know that Maria Callas was one of his best friends from 1955 or so to her death, so I was reading about Callas and the Juilliard master classes, a number of performances he attended, itroducing Marlene Dietrich to Callas, and a lot of fascinating and scandalous gossip: the best last evening was the Jackie Kennedy-Onassis-Callas triangle and Leo's speculations on how Onassis' predilection for anal sex was affecting his marriage to Jackie. Mrs Kennedy also became friendly with Lerman, he suspected, out of a desire to keep tabs on Callas, but there in an interesting journal entry on helping Caroline Kennedy with her homework on art and how well-behaved the Kennedy children were.
My late friend Paula Lawrence keeps turning up a lot, and I wish I'd had her introduce me to Leo. We had several friends in common, and I'm enjoying his wit, kindness, and grace as a writer.

Well... Time for me to clean up, get dressed, head out of the apartment for a bit, wander around a bit, and then head back to Carnegie Hall in a couple of hours. -And in that order. Hopefully.

OH! But before I go... For any DRs who may also happen to be on Facebook. Facebook recently changed their Privacy Settings and Policies. However, it appears that they've failed to mention - at least up front - one other change, so... -This is from a friend:
"As of today, Facebook will automatically index all your info on Google, which allows everyone to view it. To change this option, go to Settings --> Privacy Settings --> Search --> then UN-CLICK the box that says 'Allow indexing'. Facebook kept this one quiet. Copy and paste onto your status for all your friends ASAP."
Depending how you set up your profile, the "Allow Indexing" box may already be un-checked. In any case..
The important thing to note here is that even though you might not mind having what you've posted on your own Wall to be "indexed", keep in mind that it will also "index" what your friends post on your wall. Check and uncheck accordingly.

I would also love to have Audrey Hepburn's autograph.... Such a classy woman
I do have Tom Baker from Doctor who. I got that as a gift from a friend of mine in Ireland.

Autographs.....well I have a few that I wanted:
Allison Hayes
Frances Farmer
Carroll Baker
Gale Storm
Now and then I see something that I want - one that I am NOT interested in is Sarah Palin - the 3D CONFUSION of politics.
:)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
One of the few autographs that I wish I had would be Matthew Broderick's. -Mainly because he was the only actor not to come out to the stage door after the first Wednesday matinee during the previews of Biloxi Blues. My Playbill is signed by everyone but Mr. Broderick.
As for historical figures, if I had something signed by John F. Kennedy, I'm pretty sure I would cherish it greatly.
When I worked as a summer clerk for the Coast Guard, one of my duties was to get the officer promotion certificates signed by the Secretary of Transportation and the President. I would head over to L'Enfant Plaza, go up to the Secretary's office, and then sit in a closet with a "signature machine" for a few hours. So... *However, any special commendations were sent directly to the desk of the Secretary and the President whenever possible.
Jackie Onassis would also be one I would like. She was a remarkable woman

Dakota, your new avatar is very pretty.
Thank you Jane. On Yahoo, I found a way to save it and it is from there. I have several avatars I made there. I have one in a German dirndl, horseback riding, in a library, shopping, at a flea market and several others.
The trick is not to save it in the area where you make the avatar

In essence that is true. However, since Facebook (and Twitter) recently integrated with Google for realtime search results, well...

I already changed mine. They were a tad sneaky to say the least

I did get some good news last week. A panel that me and several others are putting together for a communication conference was accepted.
It is on the state of soap operas
-
Back from Hugo's and some pasta papa. I was rather surprised that when I left at twelve-thirty, prime lunch hour there, with normally not a seat to be had, an almost empty restaurant.
-
Oh, and I forgot to mention in my post - kiss my ASS.
Ugh--from those lips you'll wind up getting a wart.
-
healing vibes to Jane!
-
Congrats to Joshie!
-
the conference I referenced earlier will be next spring in cincy...
-
I am posting from my doctor's office-- from the examination room, no less. How cool is that?
Actually, I'm beginning to get a bit peeved--I've been waiting in here for over 20 minutes...
-
Love doctor's offices:
Hurry up and wait!
-
Love doctor's offices:

Ain't that the truth! I got here a half hour early, too! And I was thrilled when they took me into the examination room 15 minutes early.
But here I continue to wait...

the conference I referenced earlier will be next spring in cincy...
Well, DR DakotaCelt, that's near me - maybe we can get together!

Topic of the Day: I am most fortunate to have BK's autographs on quite a few things. I also was able to get our very own Guy Haines' autograph on his first CD! ;)
I have seen Live and In Person: Betty Buckley (in Sunset Blvd. on Broadway), Bernadette Peters (in concert, here in Olympia!) and Patti LuPone (in concert, in Seattle) and was able to get each of their autographs!
I also have autographs from all of the members of The Manhattan Transfer. I bought a couple of different sets of autographs on eBay, but last year, the group performed at Jazz Alley in Seattle and I brought a CD and a couple of DVDs that I was able to send backstage to the group to autograph. I didn't actually get to meet them, but they signed my DVDs and CD.
Jose actually was able to get the autograph of Laurel Massé, the original soprano and founding member of TMT, for me. Several years ago, he was dining with (if I remember correctly) Amanda McBroom and Laurel (and maybe Michele Brourman). I mentioned that I LOVE Laurel Massé and Jose was kind enough to get her autograph on one of his origami papers for me. :-*
Cheryl Bentyne, the current soprano of TMT (for 30 years, now) performed a solo gig with her accompanist/husband at The Triple Door (also in Seattle) a couple of years ago and during the two sets (I stayed for both), she came to the back of the audience area and signed autographs and chatted with everyone. She recorded Among Friends (http://www.amazon.com/Among-Friends-Cheryl-Bentyne/dp/B00009Y3L7/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1260911175&sr=8-2), an audio-DVD and I brought that for her to sign. Nobody else there had even heard of this. :D
And the one time that I went to London, my sister, niece and I went to see Kiss Me, Kate with the WSMA Brent Barrett, Marin Mazzie, Nancy Anderson and Michael Berresse, as well as several prominant British musical theater performers. I got almost everyone's autographs, except Brent's. :P
But the show was fabulous!
-
I am also glad I have bk's autograph... I also have Matt Ashford's on a couple of things...
-
It has continued to be a mild gray day. No rain to speak of but SO dreary.
-
I watched a bunch of TV episodes today. I began by watching the remaining two episodes of PERRY MASON from the season 1, volume 1 box set. These shows were definitely shown out of production order since the private telephone on Perry's desk kept changing from episode to episode. One episode had a very obvious murderer. The other was well hidden and ended up being a surprise to me.
-
Then, I cracked open THE MENTALIST, Season 1 and began watching the episodes in order. I began with the pilot which was made months before the show was given a green light. Everyone looks considerably younger than they look once the show went to series. It's an excellent pilot, however, and very easy to see why the show sold.
-
The second show, which I did remember parts of, had Eric Stonestreet guest starring as a chef. He plays one of the gay fathers this year on MODERN FAMILY.
-
If I have time before I head out to tonight's dinner party, I'll try to fit in one more episode. I do love the show a lot.
-
Next I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS and ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Nothing of interest on either one.
-
the conference I referenced earlier will be next spring in cincy...
Well, DR DakotaCelt, that's near me - maybe we can get together!
That would be fun!
Just don't bring along that ND weather you told us about earlier!
-
We are officially finished with Gift Bag Packing this year. We finished about 1pm. We then broke down everything and returned things to their proper places and Anthony and I returned home. I ate lunch then went to Barnes and Noble to get a "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" calendar for Anthony's father. He enjoys the questions and when we are out there we spend time reading the questions and answers after dinner.
Tomorrow I will try to sleep as late as my body will allow and then I will get a haircut. I may also go to the Union Square Greenmarket.
We have a friend visiting on Friday and we have holiday parties on Saturday and Sunday and the post-Bag Packing Volunteer Party on Monday the 21st then we head out to Long Island for a few days.
-
DR George reminded me, I have The Manhattan Transfer's autograph(s), too! The souvenir brochure from their "Mecca for Moderns" tour!
-
I didn't get any review discs in today's mail, so it appears that I'm going to have another day off tomorrow. Good! That will help me watch the several shows that'll be reocrding tonight while I'm out of the house.
-
Now, I'm going to finish up some computer stuff here, and then head down to watch another episode of THE MENTALIST before I make final preparations to leave for the dinner party.
WBBL.
-
I finished everything we didn't finish yesterday, i.e. addressing and prepping customs forms for all the bigger orders - all that's left to do tomorrow is actually put all CDs in packages and then attach postage to only three boxes - everything else is done. I'm hoping we can do it all, get it to the post office by ten-thirty, and be done by eleven, at which time I'll run the biggest order to UPS and get that on its way.
-
DR JANE general consensus is that a singer named Mike Stewart (who also did some Pogo recordings for Walt Disney) is the singer of the Bat Masterson theme song.
-
Found a copy of the TV GUIDE that I needed, so we shall see what is revealed about BARBARY COAST that was broadcast on ABC on October 20, 1958 - or if it just raises more questions.
-
DR Ben - congratulations on another successful volunteer year! Now you can relax and enjoy the rest of your time off (not that you didn't enjoy your BC/EFA project, but you know what I mean...).
-
And now - La Dolce Vita!
-
Back from helping my color-blind mother select carpet for her home-to-be. Not what I would have chosen, but she was insistent. We then visited the apartment to take some measurements. It was all torn up and they were painting, so I left her in the hall. She has such sensitive lungs, I didn't want her breathing any paint fumes.
-
Ginny, does everyone who lives in the apartments have to buy new carpet?
-
Ginny, does everyone who lives in the apartments have to buy new carpet?
Yes, it's part of the stimulus package. Aren't you glad you live in a house?
-
Good news: pool is in great shape.
Bad news: Got home to my realtor phoning saying the bank had rejected the offer.
Good news: Realtor was confused why they had listed "inspection and repairs" as reason since the bank had already said they wouldn't make repairs and we had put that in there just to let them know what it was going to cost.
Bad news: Bank and/or bank's realtor never bothered to look at subsequent pages of our offer, which included an "as is" offer at a reduced price.
Good news? We'll have to wait and see.
-
DR Laura - Mom's not buying this carpet; they routinely refurbish the living quarters from time to time. The patio home she's in now will be due for its regular upgrade this spring, so she'd probably have had to move out temporarily anyway.
-
That's good. I'm glad she doesn't have to pay for it but gets to pick it out.
-
ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN KISS MY A*S - that's the title of my next musical about Extra-Sensitive Perception
-
DR George reminded me, I have The Manhattan Transfer's autograph(s), too! The souvenir brochure from their "Mecca for Moderns" tour!
I saw that tour and I have that program! It was the first time that I had ever seen them live...and the last time that they had programs for sale. :-\
-
BK - Thanks so much for the wonderful surprise package from Kritzerland, which arrived today.
-
You are very welcome for all the reasons you know.
-
Cranberries.
-
And kiss my ASS. No packages at all today - but a bill came, so there was that. No check came from the dealer who is now four CDs behind in paying. I don't mind as long as I get a check every week, which is usually the case, but he missed two weeks ago, which was not good, and hopefully I'll have a check tomorrow or Saturday.

I have decided I am bored of page six.

Did anyone see the Michael Moore documentary? I want to see it, but the Blu and Ray doesn't come out until March. I'll have to see if there are any screenings coming up, although it's doubtful as it didn't make the short list for the Oscars.
-
Therefore, the video will have to be made sometime later.
-
The best cure for dear reader Sandra's illness is to make a post.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
I just re-read the first part of today's topic of discussion:
If you could own any autograph in the world, whose would it be and why would that one be the one you’d want?
If I could own any autograph that I don't already have, it would have to be the autograph of the very one, the very only...Mr. Stephen Sondheim. I have been a fan of his music for many, many, many (that's three manys) years. I know several people here already have it, but I don't. Sigh.
Someday.

You do have an extensive TV Guide collection, don't you!
The other night I came across a box that contained the remnants of my once-huge collection--only a few Christmas week issues and some with Amsel drawn covers. I have here the 1981 issue for this very week. Tonight you could have watched a CBS special presentation of LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY with Alec Guinness and Ricky Schroder. If that wasn't to your tastes, FATHER MURPHY was doing his thing on NBC.
I hope I had cable back then...

OH! But before I go... For any DRs who may also happen to be on Facebook. Facebook recently changed their Privacy Settings and Policies. However, it appears that they've failed to mention - at least up front - one other change, so... -This is from a friend:

The good news is that my doctor was very pleased with my blood work--cholesterol is low along with my AC1 number. The bad news is my weight gain but I expected to hear about that.
So on the way home I stopped at a Pathmark market to pick up a few things and lo and behold, they were offering H1N1 shots. I thought, "Why the heck not?" so I filled out the paperwork, forked over $15, bared my manly shoulder and got innoculated. I feel very trendy!
-
I'm back from New York. My flight was delayed, but not by too much, fortunately.
DR JoseSPiano--as a matter of fact, I got the bus for Newark Airport right across from Bryant Park, but I hadn't read your post until just now. Since I'm not sure about a lot of the inside information yet, what "monkey" are you referring to?
Thanks again to Ben and Anthony --they even swiped their Metro Cards at the subway for me (both ways!). Yes, the yule log was on the TV---they have a very cozy apartment and make good use of space.
Ben--I had to laugh when I got home and saw a package from BC/EFA. I had ordered a t-shirt and cap for a friend in California. I looked at the return address and of course it was 165 W 46th St. I guess I could have picked them up yesterday!
-
TOD: I would most like to have Barbra Streisand's autograph.
I have many signed Playbills (Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Daniel Radcliffe, Patti LuPone, Angela Lansbury, among others.) I have Hugh Jackman's , but it's just a scribble. I guess the one I treasure the most is by Dame Judi Dench.
Needless to say I have signed CDs from Brent Barrett and also the Phantom Las Vegas program signed by the entire cast (with both Phantoms at the time, Brent and Anthony Crivello).
-
DR JANE general consensus is that a singer named Mike Stewart (who also did some Pogo recordings for Walt Disney) is the singer of the Bat Masterson theme song.

At this point, it looks like we may (emphasis: may) have a deal, but it hinges on the bank accepting the reduced price offer and then Betsy and me putting funds for repairs into an escrow account, which will then be utilized by the bank (which will still own the house at that point) to make said repairs in order to make the house loan worthy.
-
... and then Betsy and me putting funds for repairs into an escrow account, which will then be utilized by the bank (which will still own the house at that point) to make said repairs in order to make the house loan worthy.
Huh? You pay for the repairs and they still own the house?

The way it has to work is this: we agree on a price (that should happen by tomorrow). Then we get an appraisal. We know going in the appraiser is going to at least recommend, if not outright require, a new roof. At that point, we put the funds into escrow to re-roof the house, the bank actually hires the contractor (since they still own the house), the roof is put on, and then the loan closes. Then we own the house. Kind of. ;)
-
I would not do that.
-
Good Luck, JMK!!
-
What if something happens between the time they sign a contract with a roofer and pay him with your money and the closing?
-
My former neighbor has a story. He signed the papers to sell his house and the buyers were going to sign in the morning. Overnight there was a summer monsoon microburst that blew half of the roof off and into the neighbor's house and yard. Deal off.
-
Isn't Vixmom in the house closing business?
-
I would not do that.
something about that bothers me too. do you get to choose the roofer used?
-
OH! And also this...

:)
I knew we should have let them become a state!
-
I would not do that.

Yes, they will use the contractors we stipulate and the price we agree to, it's just that technically they need to hire them as they are the titled owners of the property.

I just re-read the first part of today's topic of discussion:
If you could own any autograph in the world, whose would it be and why would that one be the one you’d want?
If I could own any autograph that I don't already have, it would have to be the autograph of the very one, the very only...Mr. Stephen Sondheim. I have been a fan of his music for many, many, many (that's three manys) years. I know several people here already have it, but I don't. Sigh.
Someday.

Probably Bobby Kennedy. There was a beautiful framed and autographed photo of Bobby that was offered for sale recently by a delaer I have dealt with before. Sadly, it cost the same amount as my cruise.
Autographs that I cherish:
BK, of course (I have to stroke his peccadillo)
WSMA - several
Barbra Streisand
Judy Garland
Liza
Angela Lansbury
But probably my prize is the autographed leather-bound copy of A NIGHT TO REMEMBER signed by Walter Lord and TITANIC - THE LAST GREAT IMAGES signed by Robert Ballard.

Or what happens if they fix the roof with your money and then they find some other reason to hold up the deal and the deal falls through?

I share DR Laura's distrust of DR JMK's La Manse deal. It seems to me that banks in general haven't yet figured out how to deal with the many foreclosures. Since few buyers pay all cash, the property must be made loan-worthy. (I have seen some properties where the listing said it must be all cash, because the property was in such disrepair.) yet the banks don't want to pay for repairs. How much sense does that make? Senior bank executives are well-paid folks; can't they figure out a better way??
There's a beautiful house down the block from me, which is in foreclosure. It was listed two years ago for $3M. Rumor has it that the owners walked. Someone--the bank?--turned off the water and now the lovely landscaping has died. How much sense does this make?
I could go on, but I won't.
End of rant.

I have the autographs of both LBJ and Abbie Hoffman
-
Pope John XXIII died in 1963.
Yes, he did. From what I could get from one of the Vatican Guards was that Pope John XXIII has been recently canonized (one step from Sainthood) and so his body was moved up to St. Peter's Basilica.

Hello, everyone.
My, my, I seemed to have missed all the drama. I never would have guessed that mild-mannered JRand was so clever!
I hide it quite well. Few people need have a fear of me - but those who feel the full fury of my wrath are reduced to dust. You must remember that I am descended from Lord Stanley - who promised his army to Richard III - but in the end turned on him and handed the crown to Edward VII - his stepson.
Thomas Stanley, 2nd Baron Stanley, married Lady Margaret Beaufort, the mother of King Henry VII, and also Eleanor Nevill. The title of Earl of Derby was conferred on him in 1485 by his stepson Henry VII after the Battle of Bosworth Field where Thomas decided not to support King Richard III.

Dear folks, I am once again in South Carolina. After an arduous Monday (ugh!) that didn't end until the airport shuttle driver called me 15 minutes earlier than expected to announce he was at my door did I officially end said Monday. I raced around the house shutting things off (which I had plotted out carefully to be done over the next 15 minutes...minutes I no longer had) and gathering my luggage, etc.
After all was said and done, it worked out well enough, although I'd have preferred having a nap that afternoon. The flight to Atlanta was not the best ever....first class simply isn't what it used to be. This was one of the smaller Delta cross-country planes and it was jampacked and more...and the accommodations were a bit squeezed. I was in semi-comfort, although the seat left much to be desired both in the upright and reclining positions. I pray the flight back will be in a larger, more affable and comfortable aircraft.
Service was stingy, too. I got two -- count 'em 2 -- small cups of Ginger Ale during my entire flight. That and two small packets of dry roasted peanuts. I tell you here and now that I'll never again allow a first-class experience to upset me as much as this one did. I'm going to speak up and speak out...and I'm going to instruct the stewpersons to "bring the can" the next time I order a Ginger Ale.
I was here at my mother's house by noon today. We had a nice lunch of stew (brunswick variety) and cornbread (man, can my mother ever make a pan of cornbread!!!). By 1 p.m., I was unable to hold my head up so sleepy was I (and not having more than nodded off at any point during my cross-country flight...and by snoozing about 15 minutes on the connecting flight). I went to bed at 1 and got up at 5:40 p.m. I'm still sleepy, but will stay up as late as possible to ensure I get a good night's rest.
Speaking of which, my sleep the past week or so has been fitful, at best. Too much anxiety, topped with some car ailments which perplexed and unnerved me (alternator issues now being attended to by a trusted mechanic), led me to having anxiety attacks at the oddest moments...most often when I'd awaken in the middle of the night.
Today, I slept the sleep of the dead. It is amazingly comforting to sleep and not worry about anything. My mom is recovering from a bout with pneumonia that erupted about two weeks ago. She spent two nights in hospital but has been home two weeks (tomorrow) recovering. She's feeling much better, but I've told her to do nothing, feel no obligations to decorate, etc. I have a small tree to decorate tomorrow.
On the plus side, my mom fried me some chicken for supper and it was amazing. We also had lima beans and a corn-and-tomato casserole (one of my, and her, favorites). Golly but that fried chicken was sweet and tasty. My momma can fry some chicken! She soaks it in buttermilk first (usually overnight). She coats it with Bisquick and then fries it in an iron skillet (or electric fry pan). The key, however, is the size of the chicken. She doesn't use any bird over 2.5 pounds. The smaller the chicken, the tastier.
There's a rum cake and a fruit cake, both made by her a month ago, awaiting my taste buds. I have not yet sampled either.
Ah, home. Home. And I have my own room. And I know all the faces I see.
Oh, gosh...there's no place like home.

Back from a lovely, delicious dinner with wonderful folks. Lots of personal stories shared and laughs galore. The food was superb, as it always is at Jeff's house.
-
Before I left for Jeff's home, I watched another episode of THE MENTALIST. This was the one with the teenager's body found on the beach and her group of friends who rallied around trying to help find her killer. My favorite part of the episode (because it isn't one of my favorites otherwise) is when Patrick builds this huge sand castle on the beach to draw out a suspect. It's just so delightful seeing him playing in the sand and the genuine delight the spectators have at his masterwork.
-
Nothing arrived in the mail today review-wise, so tomorrow appears to be another day off. This will be good since I didn't see any of the programs tonight yet that I recorded.
-
I had also planned to watch A CHRISTMAS STORY today on Blu-ray, but I never got around to that either.
-
DH and I are doing a radio show during the christmas break ..... 80s music!!!!
It is on the local college students / arts station
If there is anyone who is interested, I will let you know. The station does stream

Don't think I'm up for another motion picture. Maybe I'll see what hi-def movies are on TV and then not watch them.

And now to relax, I think I will watch 3 episodes of Sex In The City. ;D
And go to sleep before 10PM. ;)

I suppose I should write some notes - and I really must get to sleep earlier this evening - CDs will hopefully be here at nine sharp and hopefully so will Cason Murphy, because we've got a LOT to do in a very short period of time.

So...
Jean-Yves Thibaudet's recital at Carnegie Hall was quite wonderful. The first half was all-Ravel, the "Pavane", and the "Miroirs" suite. Some truly beautiful, coloristic and crystalline playing. The second half consisted of Brahms' Third Piano Sonata. I've never really understood the Brahms piano sonatas, and, frankly, even after M. Thibaudet's quite splendid account earlier tonight, I still don't. However, his playing and interpretation were worth experiencing.
*And through the assistance of a Twitter friend of mine, I was able to head backstage after the recital. My friend, Joseph Hallman, who is a Philly-based composer, informed that he's known "JYT" since he was 17. So, he texted him, and was able to get my name on "the list". It really was fun being directed to the "Maestro's Dressing Room", as well as standing in the reception line with some of the major piano teachers from Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music.

*And in keeping with the Topic of they Day, I did get my program autographed (http://twitpic.com/tp5z6).

Since I was aggressively brutalized by BK to buy the Bernstein CD, I decided I might as well play it. For better or worse, it is drowning out the sound of Fox News.

I would post comments but we all know BK deletes all posts that do not heap lavish praise on all his endeavors.
Is "aggressively brutalized" redundant?

I've been selling off some of my spare kitchen equipment via CraigsList over the past couple of weeks. I have - well had - a Kitchen Aid Hand Mixer for sale. -I just sold it this morning. When I got home, I found this response in my emailbox:
I am obliged to buy a used mixer, but nine Amazon customers who bought this model are not happy campers http://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid...
On yours, do both beaters operate optimally?
Does the motor smoke or shoot sparks out?
Assuming excellent working condition, may I offer $10?
