Well, you've read the notes, the notes were dilated, and now it is time for you to post until the dilated cows come home.

And the word of the day is: KENSPECKLE!

Morning all.
That is all.
-
Laura's up!
-
Yes. The alarm company called to tell me there's a "supervisory alarm," which usually means a dead battery or a power outage. They felt it necessary to tell me this at 2 a.m.
-
good morning all

Good morning, all! I have to be at the NYU Dental Clinic by 8:30, so I'm moving rather quickly this morning to be out of here in about 45 minutes.
BK, Vinny mixed everyone of those rcordings in LA, and I know he had piano-conductors to work from; I spent too much time in photocopying scores at US Copy at 83rd and Amsterdam. There may be nothing on LOST IN BOSTON 1 & 2 because Jim Stenborg digitized thoses scores, but the PC's to "Unsung Musicals" and a lot of others were written in my hand and photocopied for Vinny. Perhaps the same situation that lost the brass parts to "Disneyland" lost the PCs? My scores for all those recordngs are now at the Library of Congress, so I can't even give myself copies.
After the Dental Clinic, the post office to mail all the chorus music for the recordings and then work on Mr Herbert here at the apartment. I have to call MTI with a question on THE MOST HAPPY FELLA; I open the new score and, after two edits, find wrong notes.
Happy New Year to all my Jewish friends!
-
I'm awake at 4:00am, and I'm jiggy with it
-
Happy New Year!

DR Jose, I hope your father is okay. I think you and your family need to discuss this avoidance they exhibit of relaying information to you in a timely fashion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vibes to DR Jose and his family! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning, all.

BK: Given the success of the "Promises, Promises" and "Sugar" re-releases on CD, are there any other musicals you plan to clean up and restore for us?
-
We got more than five inches of rain in my neck of the woods yesterday and the rain continues to come down. Stormed all night, so I woke up more than once to the sound of thunder off in the distance.
-
I've accomplished more in the last 2 hours or so than I have in a month.
-
Good morning. Must catch up as I was E&T yesterday
-
BK,
Since I don't read the Los Angeles papers any longer:
Who are the cast members for THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Mark Taper?
-
We had 8 inches of rain here in Austin yesterday.
:o
More is expected today.

-
BK,
Since I don't read the Los Angeles papers any longer:
Who are the cast members for THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Mark Taper?
I'm not Bruce but I know the answer.
It's the Judith Ivey production that started at Long Wharf in Connecticut then played Off-Broadway as part of Roundabout's season and has now moved to Los Angeles to play at the Mark Taper Forum.

I was quite E&T yesterday

Also belated birthday wishes to W.E. Lurie
-
Happy New Year!
Yes, of course!
-
Anyone read "Jerry Herman: Poet of the Showtune"? Is it good?
-
BK, in all the time I've known, I've never seen you wearing glasses. I remember PIGEONS FROM HELL vividly. It was only years later that I learned it was based on a short story by Robert E. Howard, the author and creator of Conan the Barbarian and one of the authors I collect. I have the short story in my collection.

Wednesday morning greetings! Today I return to the cardiac rehab gym - they were closed Monday for the holiday, but I kept up with my "program" by walking every day here at home.

Thank you, DR FJL - he was born on your father's 65th birthday!

Rosh Hoshanna! Didn't she play the landlady on Rhoda?
-
Thanks for the link, DR BEN. I was just about the ask the question that DR DRUXY asked. I like Ben McKenzie, he should make a fine Gentleman Caller.....
TGM is one of my favorite plays - maybe MY FAVORITE.....
-
My question for ASK BK day......can't the Post Office come to your house and pick up your shipments? They say they can on television and on the website.
-
We of course need photographic evidence of said New Glasses.

I didn't see this production, but I love the play, and I hear it isn't particularly done well.
This has been the longest and most frustrating morning, but I'm back from the clinic, the psot office, and now I have other business to tend to.
-
And the word of the day is: KENSPECKLE!
Barbie has never really been happy because Kenspeckle has been non existant all these years.

How was everybody at the Psot Office?

Is the NYC book reading and signing for BK's book (that's on Sept. 24th) at 5:30 or 5:00?
(I have 5:00 written down, but the press release says 5:30 - I'm assume the press release must be right, but mioght as well confirm.)

I'm available either way but I hope it's 5:30 just because it gives me more time to recover from a week at work and then get up to 40th Street and 8th Avenue.
-
I'm sure it's whatever the press release says.
-
I'm up, and my eyes must not be dilated anymore because I have no problem with the light from the computer screen. I got in bed at eleven, was asleep by midnight.
-
I love Ira Levin's A Kiss Before Dying, which has yielded two unsatisfying movies (the first is better, but nowhere near the book).
-
The post office would come here, I'm sure, but it's only two minutes away, so we go.
-
Ah....well.....TWO MINUTES.....

Just had a call that might result in a very quickly put-together recording session on Sunday. Trying to see if we can make it happen this quickly. Have a call into my engineer to see if he's available (don't really want to do it without him), and then he can see if the studio is available.
-
From Jose:
Good Evening!
Greetings from Virginia!
...Where I just found out that my father had surgery... Two weeks ago... Apparently, I had even called while they were on the way to the hospital... But, again, I just found out a few minutes ago. Huh
However, it was a somewhat routine procedure, and my dad seems to be recuperating quickly
I'm glad all is well. Did you get mad this time? I don't know why parents think it is best to protect their children, even adult children. :)
-
Happy New Year!!
(http://i.ebayimg.com/21/!B08fvq!EGk~$(KGrHqR,!gwE)Cbn7gcKBMcdHz56Yw~~_3.JPG)
Thank you for the lovely card.
-
Recording session vibes for MR BK.
Finally getting the news vibes for DR JOSE. Maybe everyone thought someone else was calling you.
DR FJL.....that song gets on my LAST NERVE!!!
-
Post re-considered :)
-
Honesty is a honorable policy.
Could be some of the false rhymes, DR FJL.....or just the idea of the song coupled with the whiny original vocal.
-
Happy New Year to the Jewish readers at HHW!
-
Is it common now to announce your engagement via facebook?
-
Hello, everyone.
Vibes to Jose, both regarding your father's health and the frustation you must be feeling at not being told at the time.
-
Thanks to DR FJL for the YouTube song. I always enjoy Fred's songs--several of the parodies I liked so much that I sent them on to friends. Please keep all your work coming this way.
-
Bruce, you should be aware that not everyone can wear progressive lenses. I wear them now for distance and am fine with them, but I couldn't adjust to the first pair at all. My optician felt it was because there wasn't enough difference between the distance Rx and the reading Rx. Now there's more difference between the two, but I still need reading glasses when I'm doing close work. Most opticians will exchange the progressive for another non-progressive, if need be. I hope yours are fine and this isn't necessary.
-
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all who wish to celebrate.
-
Post rethought :)
-
Thanks, Jeanne.
-
DR FJL.....I wasn't talking about YOUR song....which I liked......I was talking about the song you mentioned NEVER BEEN TO ME!
NOT YOUR SONG!!!
-
Moved like Harlow through Monte Carlo
(from Charlene's NEVER BEEN TO ME)
THIS ONE.
-
I guess I need to use the QUOTE function - DR FJL sorry you thought I was talking about the other song.
-
Oh, my new year just got much better!

Have you never heard Howard Keel doing NEVER BEEN TO ME? (this is for real)

I've been to parodies but I've never been to me.
-
It's really Howard Keel, Jrand.
-
Oh I clicked.....oh my......didn't know something could make me long for Charlene's version....until now.
-
I think I will style my toupee like the host in that video.....very soignee to be sure.
-
I hate FIREFOX updates.
-
Tech stress! Tech stress! Actually, NO tech stress--the power went out at around 5 last night and JUST came back on (it's been going on and off intermittently since the middle of the night, never staying on for very long). I had SO much work to get done on the internets last night and of course that has all fallen by the wayside. Also, this new house has an alarm system and it went completely haywire earlier this morning. I was running around trying to get it to stop emitting a horrible screeching sound (NOT the alarm sound--it sounded like a fax tone in minor seconds). Oy, oy, oy.
-
Keel seems to be intentionally parodying himself in that, of course. Like Merman in AIRPLANE, only on a smaller scale.
-
Maybe that's it DR FJL.....the whole program seems to be a parody....of itself.
-
DR JMK - how was school for the boychicks yesteday?
-
Oh yes, i knew I forgot something I missed - belated happy first day of school!!!
-
DR JMK - how was school for the boychicks yesteday?
Gabe hates high school, so all is normal there. ;D
Zach had a generally really good day, and he was the one I was worried for. That said, he was very nervous again this morning. He gave me a VERY big hug when I said goodbye to him at the bus. :)
-
You and Betsy have prepared them very well - I won't say don't worry, since that's not possible - but soon it will all be "old hat" to them.
-
Same for Senior Vixter!!!!
-
BK: Given the success of the "Promises, Promises" and "Sugar" re-releases on CD, are there any other musicals you plan to clean up and restore for us?
I don't doubt that he does...but we'll never find out what they are until they're ready to be announced. I hate that.
;)
-
Back from cardiac rehab and a couple of shopping stops. At Kroger, I bought tilapia and potatoes to bake for our dinner - soft foods for DS Rob who, at the ripe old age of 25, today had his first dental filling. He'd been very proud of his perfect teeth and was kind of bummed about this turn of events.
-
Is it common now to announce your engagement via facebook?
I wouldn't be surprised. This morning on received a bulk Facebook email from my niece announcing her engagement. :) She did apologize for her method of delivery.
-
Bruce, you should be aware that not everyone can wear progressive lenses. I wear them now for distance and am fine with them, but I couldn't adjust to the first pair at all.

I hope yours are fine and this isn't necessary.
I do better with the distance & the in-between. It is the reading portion that gives me the biggest problems. I basically removed it. They have to leave a little in there. Mostly I take my glasses off and read close to my face. For walking, hiking & driving I wear my distance glasses.

And now I shall prepare for the FINAL run thru....no costumes.....hopefully quick and painless.
-
DS Rob who, at the ripe old age of 25, today had his first dental filling. He'd been very proud of his perfect teeth and was kind of bummed about this turn of events.
I bet. I hope he hasn't begun a new trend.
-
I always ask the technicians to put the reading portion as high as possible in my progressive lenses and they're fine for casual reading - newspapers, crossword puzzles, hymnal & prayerbook. However, for sustained reading I have separate reading glasses and for counted cross-stitch I look below my glasses all together.
-

So does he, DR JRand! This was a small "defect" that the dentist thinks developed when Rob had his braces. They've been watching it and decided that filling it now would be the prudent thing to do.
-
I'll be interested to see how the progressive lens works - there is quite a big difference in my close and far sight, so I'm hoping it's fine.

I've been trying to send a simple e-mail reply through the mac mail program and it's been "sending" for ten damn minutes. One more minute and Apple will be getting a call from me.

It may take a while to get used to moving your head, not your eyes, to "lock in focus" items in mid range - and loooking down when descending stairs is really tricky (the step is not in the focal range when looking down).
der Brucer
Note: if there is a large range between your near and far vision, you may want to consider a set of fixed-focus mid range glasses for computer use.

Apple got the call and I spent over an hour on the phone - first with a tech guy who simply did all he could to help - he finally got it working, but then I talked to a mail expert and she really fixed everything perfectly - two addresses, my roadrunner addresses, I could never send mail from (I received fine) and she's now fixed that, so that's great.

I also found out we'll be doing a screening of Nudie Musical early next year, the film's 35th anniversary (from the release date) at the New Beverly Cinema.

All quiet on the Upstairs Front, no heavy tread, no barking animal, so maybe the Oaf Above Me has gone to Canada for the week. Do gentiles get a New Year wish? My wish is that he stays in Canada.

OK JANE-
How is Wonder Dog Sherlock Doing?
I gathered that you took him to The Dog Doctor Today?
Hope All Is Well...
And A Very Special Happy New Year To You....and Keith...and family and
Sherlock,of course.
Thank you for asking.
Yes we did. You are sweet to remember.
Thank you.
We have been extremely concerned the last few days and it appeared the center was bulging some. The vet was very pleased that the area has reduced in size and is definitely improving. When we looked doubtful it is smaller she offered to get the photos she took last week ;)
The lump in the center worrying us is just scar tissue healing.
She did get responses on the surgical vet board, basically saying to do what we were doing and to use the ointment she gave us at the last visit. We will continue with it and hope by next week it will be all healed.
Please keep those vibes coming!!! Until it heals he is still at risk for an infection and he is off the antibiotics.

It's really hard to take a good photo of the tile, not sure why. It is glass, maybe it's just hard to photograph
I have the same problem with our glass backsplash. Is there a website with a photo so we can see the colors better?
I see white, various shades of browns, red, and is that dark blue or black? Did you put on each little piece individually or did it come in strips?
It looks nice. I bet once you are done & have everything back on the counter it will look great.
It that cat hanging from the drawer a towel or a pot holder?

Jose youe story reminds me of when my Mom was in the hospital ER a few years ago - she had shingles but befior it was diagnosed they ran a bunch of tests including a cranial MRI
the doctor was giving us the results and he told my brother and me, "Well the good news is that there appears to be no change in the size of her brain tumor"
He and I shouted simultaneoulsy "BRAIN TUMOR!!! What brain tumor??!!"
They don't like to worry the children....

Keel seems to be intentionally parodying himself in that, of course. Like Merman in AIRPLANE, only on a smaller scale.
Howard Keel was a great entertainer.
I know he was a publicity client of mine for ten years and I am prejudiced, but:
I was a fan of his long before I ever met him.
-
I honestly can't count the times I was not informed my father was sick until he was out of danger, unless I was on vacation. Then my sister felt the need to tell me. Finally one year we went on a special anniversary trip to Italy and I told her she was not to let me know if he got sick unless I had to return home. She didn't appreciate that at all.;) Fortunately he stayed healthy that time. Not to sound callus but I was never permitted a voice in his care or treatment. I was only informed of what was happening and I couldn't always talk to him making me basically useless and frustrated.

Thank you DR FJL.

I have a snger on this recording project who's driving me a bit crazy. Last week, i had to change a day around to accommodate her, after all her claims last spring that "I can drive in any time." Today, I just got an email that a round of ankle surgery that should have laid her up for two weeks has been complcated and she cannot put weight on it for six weeks. This totally screws up recording her as scheduled between Oct 2 and 6. At the moment I want to sack her, but I need to speak to the musical director and record producer. I've got two later sessions in October and November I could possibly move her to but it means contacting a lot of other singers to see if they are willing to move schedules around and I've still got two Metropolitan Opera singers I'd rather accommodate since I don't know what their Met schedules are. I hate this shit.
-
Thanks George.

And yes, since I was so self-absorbed all weekend:

Ditto!! (the self absorbed and all)
-
Time for me to leave work.
Until later!
-
So, i wrote her back and told her it meant a lot of shuffling singers and I was loathe to start tearing apart a schedule that had been in place for four months before soncuslting with the music director, the record producer, and the investor. Now I've gotten two emails with an attitude of "Mother's pissed, let's placate" and she says she's only asking about possible rescheduling if possible. The question is, is she pulling a diva fit?

It's not a whole lot better, but it's better. Click on it and it's easier to see. It came with a mesh backing 14 tiles by 14 tiles which made it easier to install.
The cat is a pot holder

Had to make soup tonight. The rainy weather called for it. So I thawed some pumpkin from last year and whipped it up with some chicken stock, heavy cream and sauteed onion. It lacked a little something, which turned out, in this case, to be coconut. Didn't have coconut milk, so I used shredded coconut. Added a great texture and just the right flavor.

BK, I have progressive lenses in my glasses. I like them most of the time. When I read a lot, I take them off.

If I had known that cutting glass tiles with my handy dandy glass tile cutting tool would be so easy, I would have done it last night

This morning I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:

What a comedy of errors day this has been. I was supposed to have a two-o'clock meeting at LACC - I e-mailed the guy last night and twice today asking for confirmation, but never got it. While I was dealing with the mail problems I got an e-mail from him at two-thirty asking where I was. I called him immediately and it turns out that all my e-mails were in his spam folder. He's fixed that now and we've rescheduled for tomorrow. Then my friend e-mailed me this morning to say she'd put in the ticket request and would be through by three and did we want to have dinner before seeing The Glass Menagerie. I said great and at five I drove to the Music Center - no traffic, got there in twenty minutes, parked underneath, walked up to the Taper and called my friend on her cell. She sounded horrified and then told me it's NEXT week we're going - that was not clear in any e-mail she sent - in fact, anyone would have thought it was tonight from her e-mails. I told her no sweat and then I had to drive home in horrendous rush hour traffic, although it really only took about thirty minutes back to the Valley. I went to Gelson's, got a Wolfgang Puck roasted half-chicken, of which I just ate the breast and the wing (don't like the other stuff). I'm now watching Forbidden Planet, which, thus far, does not look that good on Blu and Ray. I still have the SE DVD and I'll compare it later.

Watching "The World According to Garp" for the first time since I saw the movie the theater upon initial release. Time has been kind to the movie and I'm glad the book is no longer quite so fresh in my mind. It's also fun seeing John Lithgow in his first screen appearance since I've started watching Dexter Season 4 on DVD and he's great in both.
-
Cilla thanks for the link. It may be a sharper photo but yours looks better with the kitchen ;)

Laura my new found cousin asked if I photograph flowers. Since I don't have any of mine I copied a couple of your beautiful photos.

Good Evening!
Thanks for all the Vibes for my father and for myself. I will say that it does seem that he's truly taking it easy after this most recent surgery. -Unlike when, after just four weeks after his prostate cancer surgery, he was climbing on the roof clearing out the storm gutters. Even my mom has started driving again to run errands and such. -Which is a good thing.
-
In other news, I had quite a wonderful day here in Richmond. A visit to my alma mater. Another wonderful visit to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. -Their current Chuck Close exhibit truly blew my mind! I spent over an hour in there. And then I had dinner with Steve, and while we were having dinner, my friend, Mike, dropped by to say, "Hi!" too.

It's really hard to take a good photo of the tile, not sure why. It is glass, maybe it's just hard to photograph
Try to get as much "natural" light in the room as possible and/or spill from the neighboring rooms. It's best to take the picture with no flash. Otherwise, the glass will just reflect the flash.

I've been trying to send a simple e-mail reply through the mac mail program and it's been "sending" for ten damn minutes. One more minute and Apple will be getting a call from me.

Is it common now to announce your engagement via facebook?
It's sort of common. However, most people I know make sure that their family and close friends are informed in person before it's posted out there for everyone else to see.

BK,
Since I don't read the Los Angeles papers any longer:
Who are the cast members for THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Mark Taper?
I'm not Bruce but I know the answer.
It's the Judith Ivey production that started at Long Wharf in Connecticut then played Off-Broadway as part of Roundabout's season and has now moved to Los Angeles to play at the Mark Taper Forum.
Glass Menagerie (http://www.centertheatregroup.org/tickets/productiondetail.aspx?id=11440)
I didn't see this production, but I love the play, and I hear it isn't particularly done well.
It's a beautiful production. It may be a little too naturalistic for some people, but I was moved by it.

DR vixmom - So... All smileys aside, does your mother have a brain tumor?
-
der B- With the stuff parents let their kids do in that Coney Island ocean, our sins being thrown in there should be the least of your worries.
Ah, the proverbial Coney Island Whitefish.

In addition to my chicken breast and wing (and then leg), I had some chopped liver on a matzo - just to feel a little Jewish.
-
Is it common now to announce your engagement via facebook?
I wouldn't be surprised. This morning on received a bulk Facebook email from my niece announcing her engagement. :) She did apologize for her method of delivery.
My cousin posted his engagement on facebook yesterday. I personally was okay with it (they told their parents first). But my parents were not that happy. My mom doesn't even read facebook. My dad could not believe that I had to tell him I read it on facebook vs his brother (father of the groom) calling to announce it.
-

Now I've gotten two emails with an attitude of "Mother's pissed, let's placate" and she says she's only asking about possible rescheduling if possible. The question is, is she pulling a diva fit?
Well...
Is she going to be homebound for the next six weeks? Just ask her if that's the case. If so, then find another singer. If not, then hold her to the original recording date. I'm sure she'll find a way to make it to the studio. Crutches, wheelchair, friend, assistant, etc., in tow.

Speaking of eyes, I think this is going to cause accidents, not reduce them.

I'll be interested to see how the progressive lens works - there is quite a big difference in my close and far sight, so I'm hoping it's fine.
Walking through a bookstore can be a problem. All that type going by can be disorienting.
Why I like using the computer to put books on hold at the library, no more trying to read the titles.
Speaking of putting books on hold at the library, in 2 weeks my library is finally going to be completely computerized.
I just really hope that they keep some of the great features they have now. I like to know what place I am to receive books (my sister's library doesn't do this). And I hope that there is not a small limit on how many books I can be waiting for. My sister can take out unlimited books. But she can only reserve 6 (meaning she can only be waiting for 6 books).
I will be happy to be able to renew, and request books at home.

I get that it's a fast way to let a lot of people know. But not everyone has a facebook page. And not everyone who has one checks it everyday.

"Garp" was also Glenn Close's first movie, if I remember correctly.
