Good morning, all!

I'm still vague about my plans for the day, but iI have to find a paper cutter and trim these 11x17 photocopies I made at the llibrary; most of the music is  about 10x13 and I need to cut them down before we can rehearse them.

First, coffee, then whatever.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....TOD....

Probably the best I have looked - total package - would be at a wedding here and there - although the last wedding I attended, I was at my heaviest.....  Heaviest?  I was fat!

I don't remember the worst, but I am sure it was something in the height of fashion that I bought at Kmart when I was first out of high school.

DR Jose - our left front tire is OK, but we're keeping an eye on it because Richard spotted a nail imbedded in it on our way up here Thursday.  He'd had it fixed after the mishap with the curb in Lexington and, so far, no signs of leaking.

To fill in for others, when we were on our way to meet DR Jose for dinner in Lexington last month, Richard tried to take out a curb and bashed the front tire (well, the hubcap, actually) on the driver's side of his car.  We got through the rest of the KY trip, but it needed some major attention when we got home.

I think I will try to finish up some work on the Montgomery & Stone Medley hanging over my head as well. I'll spend tomorrow with THE WIZARD OF OZ. I'm still slogging through Act One of that one.

I just spoke to Joshie, who's got a sitzprobe of ANYONE CAN WHISTLE at noon; I wanted to catch him before rehearsal began, and I thought they were starting at 10. I hope I didn't wake him. Since Encores! is taking a break this summer, due to City Center renovation, I've been concerned about getting him some work on these Victor Herbert manuscripts to get him  over the hump. It sounds as if some other work for MTI is coming through as well, so I think he'll be okay.

Okay. I'm off to Toyland and Montgomery & Stone.

Today was the first morning walk without wearing a sweatshirt in 2010. It was 53 but very pleasant walking. I did still wear sweatpants, but I changed to shorts when I got back in the house. First shorts of 2010.

I did like the way I looked i my first custom fitted tux when I was nominated for that theater award (1982, I think it was). I have no pictures but I was very pleased with the way I looked.

Can't think of the most ridiculous outfit. Looking back at all those double knit polyester pants of the 1970s with crazy patterns gives me shudders now. Everyone wore them, and they didn't look ridiculous to us then. Now, one wonders what we were thinking.

DUPLICITY comes on HBO-HD tonight, but as I'll be busy with PERRY MASON, I won't see it until tomorrow. Judging on how many episodes I got watched yesterday, I'm thinking I won't get finished with PERRY MASON today and will still have a couple of episodes left to watch tomorrow.

If that's the case, I'll finish them tomorrow afternoon, and spend the remainder of the afternoon catching up on TV from this week I haven't gotten to yet (LAW & ORDER, FLASH FORWARD, SUPERNATURAL, SPARTACUS). I'll watch DUPLICITY and GRAN TORINO tomorrow night so I can clear them from my cache.

Larry, weird you should mention GREENWILLOW.  I was just thinking about that show last night because I've been watching the Warner Archive GREEN MANSIONS, which I've never seen before.  I was wondering if maybe Perkins' singing in that film is what interested the producers in him doing the show.

EASTER TURDUCKEN

COOKING WITH PEEPS (http://www.urlesque.com/2010/04/02/cooking-with-peeps/?icid=main|htmlws-main-n|dl5|link4|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.urlesque.com%2F2010%2F04%2F02%2Fcooking-with-peeps%2F)

Quote
Think everyone might be making Marshmallow Peeps Cupcakes this year? For a more elaborate celebration, try your hand at the Easter Turducken. This bad Larry requires you to stuff a Cadbury Creme Egg into the business end of a Peep. This unholy union is then put inside one of those crappy, hollow milk chocolate bunnies. This is really something you should (and easily can) do.

DIRECTIONS (http://asteroid.divnull.com/2006/04/easter-turducken/)

Quote
As with traditional turducken, Easter turducken starts from the inside out. The core is formed with miniature Cadbury cream eggs:
Take an ordinary peep and make a large slit in the bottom, as deep as possible without going all the way through:

Stuff an egg into the slit, stretch the sides around it, and fold the peep’s tail down. Repeat with a few more peeps.

(http://asteroid.divnull.com/images/turducken/stuff1.jpg)

The outer layer finally makes good use of one of the more odious culinary travesties, the irritating hollow bunny. As a kid, nothing was more annoying that thinking you’d been given a huge block of chocolate, and it turns out to be empty. To get the egg-stuffed peep goodness into this abomination, first you must open the bottom. Anything worth doing is worth doing with power tools, so take a dremel and cut around the perimeter of the bottom:

Once the hole is made, stuff the now egg-bloated peeps into the bunny. Note that some hollow bunnies suck even more than others, and crack and fall apart really easily, so be careful. Once you’re done, put the bottom back on. The really ambitious might try re-melting the seam in the bottom closed with a crème brûlée torch.

(http://asteroid.divnull.com/images/turducken/stuff2.jpg)

Voilà, the loathsome hollow bunny is transformed into several thousand calories, as God intended. Many children wonder around Easter how it is that bunnies lay eggs. As a side benefit, Easter turducken illustrates clearly that this “theory” is wrong. Obviously bunnies lay chickens, which then lay the eggs. Mystery solved.

Now fully prepared, the Easter turducken can be eaten. There is probably some kind of psychological test about what part of the bunny you eat first. I always go for the neck. Since it is held together only by a cheap-ass hollow bunny, once you start eating your turducken, it will collapse rapidly. Be prepared for a mess.

That is all.
Saw a wonderful production of "Greenwillow" staged in a dinner theater in Sarasota, Fla., about 12-14 years or so ago. Walter Willison, I think, had rewritten the book and jiggered a few songs around. The production was lovely. Wish somebody else would do it again.

I think the worst or weirdest was in a high school skit that we did in which the guys were barmaids and the girls were the cowboys. I wore some handmade horror in shiny blue material with drag queen-painted eyes, sat on top of a make-shift piano and croaked out "Most Ladies Don't Like Love." It wasn't pretty.

Our co-author of the long musical has, according to several actors who've contacted me, continued to give acting direction to them.  I was promised this would not happen.  I haven't even begun doing any acting direction, as we've been assembling and blocking and all that stuff.  Today and tomorrow actors get notes.  So, I called him and put my foot down and said no contact with the actors other than hello, goodbye, and compliments.  Period.  Once again, he promised.  If he has notes, he can give them to me.  It's really bad when this stuff happens - when a writer goes to an actor and says "bring it down" the actor doesn't always know how to interpret that, because it's a pretty amorphous thing to say.  Bring WHAT down?  One line, the entire thing - and what you're usually left with is NOTHING.  Whereas if you're specific and say "maybe a little less on this line" an actor knows exactly what you're talking about and doesn't turn the performance into boring.  And I don't have time to fix anyone else's "direction."  My assistant and the stage manager have been instructed to stop anything like this should they see it happening.  And the actors have received an e-mail saying they should come to the stage manager if they're receiving any acting direction from anyone other than the director.  Hopefully we'll get through the next few days without incident.

Greetings from Toyland! I am listening to GREENWILLOW.

That is all.
Saw a wonderful production of "Greenwillow" staged in a dinner theater in Sarasota, Fla., about 12-14 years or so ago. Walter Willison, I think, had rewritten the book and jiggered a few songs around. The production was lovely. Wish somebody else would do it again.

I worked on the adaptation by Walter Willison for the Utah Festival Opera which was truly magical, and it was the opera broadcast I was listening to, but the adaptation is mo longer available and that's a lot of gossip in itself! Big can of worms.

TOD: I don't know that I've ever looked my best, so we can scratch that half of the discussion in short order. I think the worst or weirdest was in a high school skit that we did in which the guys were barmaids and the girls were the cowboys. I wore some handmade horror in shiny blue material with drag queen-painted eyes, sat on top of a make-shift piano and croaked out "Most Ladies Don't Like Love." It wasn't pretty.


If you have never looked your best, how can you tell when you have looked your worst?

I heard a few of those stories coming out of the Sarasota production. Too bad. The show can be as sweet and warm as the score. Think plenty of community theaters would love doing it.

While I ate lunch, I had time to watch PROJECT RUNWAY.

I liked the selection of the winners and found the results completely accurate and fair. I had no problem with the losing design, really a hopeless, shapeless mess, but I think after last week, that designer just figured it was a lost cause and stopped really trying.

But I was REALLY angry that the person who finished third from the bottom was given yet another pass. This person has been in the bottom A LOT in the last month, and yet still skates by with these close calls. The last two designs have been completelymundane and defenseless in terms of the subject of the challenge and how far off the mark it was.

Good Afternoon. I've spent the day researching the history of my house and the people who have lived here.  I found some really interesting information.   Esther and Bert built the house in 1934.  It turns out Esther's father is a local legend.  Back in 1892 there was a horrendous flood here. Her  father Andrew saved 27 people before his boat was capsized by a tree in the river and he lost his life.  People had repeatedly tried to stop him from going back into the river, but he wasn't going to let people die.  There is a monument to him at the cementery. Actually a whole section of the cemetery is named after him. There used to be a park too, but I don't think it's here anymore.

Here's a link to the info on Esther's fatherhttp://www.siouxcityhistory.org/people/more2685.html?id=4_0_2_0_M (http://www.siouxcityhistory.org/people/more2685.html?id=4_0_2_0_M)  Kind of cool that I live in the home of the daughter of a hero!  The woman I talked to from Texas is Esther's daughter.   

I've traced all but one of the other owners. Including me, there have been 7 owners since 1934.  Esther was here for 37 years and she and her husband (who died 9 years after the house was built) built the house.  So, I think of it as Esther's house.   I went out to the cemetery today and found the monument to her father. She and Albert are buried right next to it.  I really feel a connection to her. It doesn't look like she ever remarried, so most of the time she was here, she lived alone.  Just like me!

T.O.D.

I think the best I have ever looked was for my ten-year high school reunion.  High school was not a fun time for me.  I was a drama nerd at a time before computer nerds would take our place on the bottom rung of the caste system.

I changed a lot after high school inclding growing three inches taller.  As we got close to the ten year reunion, I was working as the Assistant Manager for the Garden Shop at Sear's.  Not a high class job, but I was certainly in shape.  By the night of the reunion, I was tanned, buff, and had a great fro.  Girls that never talked to me in high school suddenly couldn't get enough of me.  I guess it was the one time that the ugly duckling became a swan.

That's OK, DR TCB.  I really don't care who wins this tournament.  Mary Linda's from a very loyal Michigan State family (both parents went there), so we're rooting for them now.  But I do have some fondness for Butler, because my mother is from Indianapolis and Richard and I spent a great Sunday there with DRs Jose and JRand for Mamma Mia.  And then there's WVU - my uncle taught in the med school there and we visited Morgantown many times.  My cousin Dan and I had a great time at a Mountaineer football game 30+ years ago.

In all, a successful day. I've worked on all my various and sundry projects.

A friend who's a Sousa authority wants me to work with him on a restoration of Sousa's wonderful operetta, EL CAPITAN. The last one, which was recorded, was done by a couple of dubious scholars who believe that, because Sousa is known for his brass band, the delicate scoring of the operettas should be boosted with additional trombones, trumpets and horns to beef up the sound. You'd have to be a Wagnerian singer or hog caller to be heard over that welter, not a pretty young soprano or comedian.

I want to tell her I think her's mother's a pig and worse, so I probably need to calm down before I do anything. His stepsister's ugly behavior really hurt my dad and I wouldn't stop to pee on her if she were burning.

Thanks Ginny, I hope so too.  Suggestions have been requested for one of our discussions so I'm glad to be able to read it before our next meeting.  I'm going to have trouble holding THE HELP, the book I need to read by April 13th.

DR elmore, with that much anger I can see why you will wait to contact her.  I think you really want to yell at her mother, not at your cousin.

But also, what interest have I in a person I do not know and haven't seen in 50 years?

Awesome movie on TCM right now.

Saw it a couple of times on a drive in double bill with UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE.....loved both movies....went back 3 nights in a row to see them both.  ;D

That I can understand.  She is apparently interested in you, or she collects FB friends. ;)

My mother REFUSED to buy me the sheet music to BONNIE & CLYDE, as she insisted the movie "glorified violence."  Can you imagine?  :)

Matt H., thanks for your concerns about whether I would be healthy enough to do the role in SLEUTH.  Actually, I think that I am up to doing the show.  I have played the role of Andrew three different times, and with three different Milos.  I have always felt that it was a role written for me.  I would truly love to do it one more time before I am done.

I'm glad to read this as I also was concerned.


Thank you, mother!

Expressing my concern for your health really reminded me of MY mother, DR TCB. Before she died, my mother was NEVER enthusiastic when I told her I was auditioning for a show. At the time, I was teaching school during the day and reviewing films for a newspaper service, so she'd always express concern that I'd run myself down with overextending myself and get sick due to exhaustion.

I have become addicted to the series BONES in reruns on TNT. I think I will watch some of Season One on DVD tonight.

I have loved it since the show's first season. I have all of the seasons on DVD except last season which was issued on Blu-ray and which I reviewed for my worksite.

Nice high school reunion story DR TCB.

DR MATTH - I missed it,what season of Perry Mason is it that you are watching?

It's season five. The first 15 episodes.
Title: Re: SO IT IS WRITTEN, SO IT SHALL BE DONE
Post by: Matt H. on April 03, 2010, 07:12:20 PM
And speaking of PERRY MASON, I spent my evening watching more episodes from the set. I got to within one episode of the end, so I'll be able to finish it up easily tomorrow, maybe even before lunch which would leave my entire afternoon and evening free for leisure viewing.

I had already mentioned Raymond Bailey guest starring as a doctor on the episode I had started. A very young Alejandro Rey was also in that episode. Among the other guest stars, Leslie Parrish (making her second appearance in the fifth season, a decidedly unsympathetic part this time), Barbara Pepper, Ed Nelson, Dabbs Greer, Les Tremayne, Strother Martin, Elvia Allman, Denver Pyle (his second appearance in the set, too), Frank Overton, Dick Foran, Deforest Kelley, Gerald Mohr (whom we were just discussing the other day!), and Alan Hale, Jr.

My eyes were really getting heavy during that last episode I watched tonight. I was pleased that in these first 14 episodes, I have guessed the correct killers 10 times. (And it really is guesswork. The writer of the show withholds LOTS of information so Mason can spring his big surprises in court.)

Matt, you mentioned Parley Baer earlier.  Parley was from SLC, a very well known LDS family, in fact.  Parley was actually a family name and Parley's Canyon was right by the first house I lived in as a small child in SLC.

He's one of those wonderful character actors who's completely recognizable and always enjoyable whether the part is large or small. He's the kind of actor that most regular viewers know by sight but not by name. These are the very people I LOOK for on these shows.

Finally back from rehearsal and dinner at Canter's.  Rehearsal was fun - too short - and today I actually was a director, giving some actors pointers.  Our co-author had indeed been giving confusing notes to actors and I was seeing the result in yesterday's rehearsals.  I undid that damage - especially with our Lepke.  I said a very simple thing to him - you are a star, a celebrity gangster - a light to which others are drawn.  When you're onstage I don't want to be able to look anywhere else.  His whole demeanor changed and the difference in his next scene was pretty astonishing.

Most interesting DR CILLA LIZ!

I thought so too!  Bert was a pretty influential man in town at the time of his death. There was a big obit in the paper and they closed his company so everyone could go to the funeral.  Esther's father died when she was 4 and her husband died when she was 53.  I'm going to email Carol and see if she will tell me more about her family.  I find it all quite fascinating

When I sold Mom's house, I left the new owner a short history of the house. I wonder if he left it for the next guy when he sold it?

My house was bought and sold so many times before we moved in. The neighbors said that no one ever stayed more than a couple of years at a time.

I didn't really dive into researching my house until I got involved with a group that is trying to save some old houses in town from destruction.  My idea was to research the history of the houses and see if there are people who may care enough to post the bond needed for someone to go in and start renovating the house.  I'm not really optimistic for most of the houses I researched, but it got me looking into my house and I'm glad I did.

If you're not interested I say don't do it.  If you decide you want to be in contact later, you can always send her a friend request
