Well, you've read the notes, the notes were very New York and had stories, and now it is time for you to post until the New York cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MUNDIFY!
-
Good morning, all! I am awake and pondering the events of the day. I've got very little to do beyond tidying the apartment and packing before I head to Newark. I guess I'll begin with the packing.
I have no other news at the moment, but I do beg, plead, and whimper for mega travel vibes today!

Here's a quote from the musical director of the new improved PORGY AND BESS:
"At the beginning of the show, Clara is singing 'Summertime' to her baby. But when I listened to it, I asked myself, 'Why is she singing so high? That would wake the baby up. It has to be a lullaby.' So I took the whole thing down. And then I decided that I wanted to use an accordion, because whenever I hear an accordion it always transports me someplace else—a folkloric place that doesn't have machines. So the show now opens with Clara singing 'Summertime' as a duet with the accordion."
Oy! I'd never hire her. She sounds like a musical moron.
-
Many many travel vibes to Larry for a very smooth trip and experience! I hope this turns out to be a trip with great memories and results, but more importantly that you have a good time in all ways.
-
John G - Thanks for your comment last night. most appreciated!
-
BK - I remember seeing BLADE RUNNER not that many years ago and thinking that, just as TV has gone beyond what was "predicted" in NETWORK, Times Square has gone beyond the feel of BLADE RUNNER in some ways. :)
-
Inner web woes this morning.....so I had to rush through the comments from yesterday.....
Have fun in NYC MR BK!
Travel vibes for DR ELMORE.
Wedding, etc....vibes for DR GINNY and DR JOSE......but not together.....
-
And now I am off to work - for one half a day.
Oh well.
-
Saturday morning greetings! Our household is up and at 'em - Rob & Mary Linda are going to Cincinnati this morning to do some pre-wedding errands and to pick up one of the bridesmaids who flew in for the shower. In a little over an hour I have to pick up a cake (from Central Pastry, DR Elmore!) and 2 balloon bouquets and head out to the venue. There I'll meet my sister-in-law, the actual hostess, and help her get things set up.
-
All kinds of travel vibes for DR Elmore!
-
I'm up, I'm up. Don't know what kind of a day it is outside because I'm between buildings and everything is gray out the window.
-
OK, since Rob has announced this on Facebook, I can tell you that yesterday he received a job offer from EMT, Inc. (http://www.emt-inc.net/) to be based at their Cincinnati station. He and Mary Linda are thrilled - also relieved that he doesn't start until after their honeymoon!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Great news, Ginny.
-
Elmore, I think Diane Paulus would help her case (it certainly wouldn't hurt it), if she kept her mouth shut and let her interpretation speak for itself. Then, she can do all the singing about it she wants, with or without an accordion in the background.
Many safe travel vibes.

Acorn Media, which released "Foyle's War" and "Upstairs Downstairs" on DVD (not to mention any other British programs) is offering free streaming through the end of August. Here's the link to the site. It's their choice of what they offer free and the schedule changes, but it's a very good looking schedule. I don't think I ever saw "The Far Pavilions":

Watched a fun one last night: "Potiche." It's French for "Trophy Wife" and features Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Depardieu in a silly little tale of women's rights (the message isn't silly). She runs an umbrella factory, so there were memories of "Cherbourg." He looks enormous. And I'm having a vague memory of reading about the movie in the notes. Still, it was nice spending more time with the both of them.
-
I'm off to one the Hill Country wineries today to sit on a rose' tasting panel. I do this every year and it's always one of my favorite days. hopefully, I'll get to one of the neighboring wineries and a magnificent barbecue joint along the way.
-
Great news, Ginny.
Thanks, DR John G!
OK, I'm off to help Jayne get ready to shower my DFD-i-L (Dear Future Daughter-in-Law) - bye for now!
-
Great news DR Ginny!

TOD:
I enjoy visiting NYC every few years, walking the streets...but I don't think I would want to live there.
-
The first time I went to NY was in the early 1970s.
I was there on business, and before I went, I kept hearing all these horror stories about people getting mugged.
Getting off the plane, I was so paranoid that I thought the redcap was going to mug me.
-
I've only seen 3 shows on Broadway:
SHENANDOAH
THE BOYS OF SUMMER w/George C. Scott
ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (My client, Abe Vigoda was in that one)
-
And the word of the day is: MUNDIFY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: MY SHINING HOUR
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm on California time.
-
~~~~~MEGA-TRAVELS VIBES TO DR ELMORE~~~~~
Larry - I wish you a true "Bon Voyage"! And may you come back from Dublin with some great stories for your memoirs and otherwise! ;)
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
I first visited NYC when I was eleven years old. I loved it then, and I still love it.
-
I believe I posted a link to my review of POTICHE.
-
Safe travel vibes and xylophones for dear reader elmore.
-
Back from a four-mile jog. I didn't know if I could do it or not - no running shoes with me - but I jogged down to Park Ave. and it was closed to traffic for bikers and joggers, so it was just too easy. I ran from 46th to 86th and back, eighty blocks, which is four miles.
-
Well, my packing has been interrupted several times by emails from Dublin. The twomost important issues are getting pdfs of the Violin 1 part to the concert mistress and Marcella has requested optional notes so I guess she's not really happy with high D-flats. I believe we will lose her today and be going with Mary, who's got all of the high notes. I think she'll be missed because i like her voice, but Mary's lighter voice will sound young, and that's all I care about for the recording.
BK, thanks again for a great evening!
-
And thank you,all, for the good wishes and vibes. I believe I will be able to check in regularly from the hotel's business center, so I'm sure to have lots of stories.

What's meant by optional notes? Is she asking to do something other than the composer wrote, or options the composer had given?

Dear Reader Larry Rosler,

From Jose:
A woman almost passed out in the lavatory about 30 minutes after we left Houston. Thankfully, there were three doctors on board, and they helped her out. They also convinced the ground crew and the captain that we did NOT need to turn around and head back to Houston. WHEW!
I'm glad you didn't have to turn around. I'm curious, how did they know the woman passed out when she was in the bathroom, and how did they get into her?
-
DR elmore,

Fantastic travel vibes to DR elmore (Dublin has no idea what they are getting).
-
Warm temperature vibes for DR Ginny's soon to be daughter-in-law's shower!
I would much prefer a bath to a shower, but it will be a while before I can do that.
-
Has anyone heard from DR Matthew?
-
...And I'm back from breakfast...

Oh, that's right! Summer Streets! If you had so desired, you could have ran all the way down to the Brooklyn Bridge and back. They close off Park Ave. all the way downtown.
-
We just got off the phone with my brother in-law who said I should join The Golden Age of Hollywood http://goldenageofhollywood.ning.com/
I doubt I will but it looks interesting. I'm guessing a few DR's already frequent the site.

From what I could gather - and see since I was seated in the last row of the cabin - the woman went into the lavatory because she was feeling sick. She then signaled to one of the flight attendants that she was not feeling well. That's when she passed out. And that's when the "Is there a doctor on board?" announcement was made.

Can you dump her on such short notice?
-
I am all packed, and around 2:30 I will call for a car to take me to Port Authority.
DR FJL, Marcella clearly isn't happy with the high D-flats, which surprises me since I would expect her to have a solid high C, and she wanted optional choices, several of which are in the published sheet music - but this may be alterations for the popular consumer use of the music - and several of which she was willing to create. I cannot sanction either since I want to present the score as Herbert wrote it. If there were an option in for a lower key from existing notes on the full score, that might have been a possibility but I have no other sources than those I've already used to create the score and parts.
-
...And one of the best things about this trip so far has been seeing Alexandra, John Michael, Alyssa and Emily. And the hugs and kisses from Emily. I hadn't seen John, Alyssa nor Emily since I started working on Oklahoma!

We haven't actually signed her yet; I thought we had, but we're all breathing a sigh of relief that this didn't happen after she signed.
-

Are you taking the bus to Dublin, DR elmore? ;)
-
And now we're trying to figure out what to do today. I think my brothers will be taking their kids to the beach. I may just go exploring - aka eat Mexican food. And then there's a "meet the parents and grandparents" dinner tonight.
Whatever I end up doing, I need to get ready for it.
Laters....
-

Yep! After having to pay $70 to check a bag, which to me is total utter bullshit, I'm not paying another $50 or more for a car to Newark.
-
I spoke to a Continental agent and I am all set with the confirmation number and information I needed. I will put a few more things away and call for a car.
I'll stop back to say goodbye shortly.
-
Do you all remember that missing glass? It turned up tday while I was putting things away.
-
Bye, elmore, have a wonderful trip!
-
Do you all remember that missing glass? It turned up tday while I was putting things away.
Where was it?
-
Sitting beside a pile of DVDs. I checked that place several tmes when it went missing.
Okay, everyone. Next time I post will be from Dublin tomorrow.
-
Travel vibes for DR elmore!

Apparently it's just 19 guests and me here at the moment-- I always insist on traveling with an entourage!

MEGA TRAVEL VIBES TO DR ELMORE~~~~~
-
I went to garage sales this morning just for fun. I found a few things, but nothing too exciting. I'm not sitting with the windows open. The kits are loving it.
-
My house is a mess and I have work to do at the office, but I've decided that today I'm going to just sit and do a lot of nothing.
-
This is the first time in weeks and weeks I've had time to have a just sit and do nothing or whatever I want to do day.....sort of a freedom day
-
But it's on a weekend so I don't think that counts
-
Mom had my grand niece Sophie call me today. I would really like to see her, but they are only at the lake for one day and I am pooped! I'm driving mom and dad to Joplin for Thanksgiving, so I'll see her then
-
And I'm going to her dad's wedding (second marriage) in February, weather permitting, so I'll see her again then
-
TOD - my first trip to New York was when I was 15. I have been there many times since then. It was love at first sight for me and throughout the rest of high school and college I had a HUGE New York poster on my wall. I haven't been to New York in a couple years. Building the new business means less $$ for traveling. I'm hoping to go again either this year or next.
-
So where is everyone? You'd think that it was a beautiful saturday or something.
-
maybe I'll go out and play with the electric hedge trimmer I bought at an auction a couple weeks ago
-

Congratulations to DS Rob on the Job Offer!!
-
I'm off to work...just for a couple of hours. Then, I'm off to my parents' for dinner and probably some game playing.
Have a good day, all!
-
Had a very good production meeting with the cameraman and a production assistant who's getting props for us. I'm totally comfy with the cameraman for Monday's shoot (won't meet Tuesday's till Tuesday) - he's a musical theater fan, loves our cast, and loves the whole idea of the show. He had lots of ideas, which will be very helpful to me.
-
Then I had an early dinner at Joe Allen, just so I wasn't eating right before seeing Follies and that whole dinner crush. I also picked up my Follies ticket. So, now I can relax until about seven-fifteen, at which point I'll mosey on over to the Marquis.

I had images of the flight attendants breaking into the little bathroom. Good thing she had the sense to say something & that there were multiple doctor's on board.

What did you use? I've read Kool-aid works just as well. I just wash ours with a cup of vinegar to get a bad smell out of there. I tried baking soda first & it didn't work.

I am caught up, for today anyway.

We took Sherlock to the vet yesterday to get a lump checked. It appears harmless enough to wait until he needs other work & remove it then. The vet found a broken tooth we suspect happened Wednesday night, & said he needs the other work now. :( She believes he needs a root canal & a cap on the tooth to save it. Since it is a top front molar strategically located for eating, she said it is worth saving.
Before she puts him out to do x-rays & remove the growth we need to be prepared to make a decision. Whatever we decide it won't happen this month unless something changes with the lump or his tooth/gum.
Aside from the cost we wonder if it is worth saving the tooth since Sherlock rarely chews his food.

Shoot, I took the garbage out. It's in a bottle that you turn upside down and run the washer on the hottest setting. It's a diswasher cleaner. The main ingredient is citric acid. The dishes in the load after that one were really clean. I was getting really disgusted with my dishwasher and this made the difference. It's an old one. it was in the house when I bought it
-
I really have to laugh that the country takes the Iowa Straw Poll seriously. You have to pay to get in and the candidates send busses places and will pay your entry fee if you go for them. They have huge parties and give away all sorts of stuff. It's not binding and is really just an indication of who spent the most money. It means nothing
-
;D

Be back later.
MEGA VIBES.

Next time try Kool-Aid ;) Mine wasn't really dirty, just stinky. I think all the water problems we have needed to fix (still need the drinking water replaced) affected the dishwasher. I've also noticed the washing machine doesn't smell musty anymore.
-
Well! I will now be moving to Canada. And I will not be going by way of Iowa. I hope there is a total news blackout in Ireland, or we may never see DR elmore again!

Good Evening!
The beaches were fun. We started off at Coronado del Mar, then headed to La Jolla for a few hours. Of course, I somehow managed to find the ice cream, chocolate and cupcake shops without the aid of my iPhone. ;)
-
...I keep forgetting whether I'm currently three hours behind or ahead of NYC/DC.
-
I went out this afternoon and attended a barbecue with a group of theater friends. I had not really done anything social since this whole health mess started, so it was good to get out. Unfortunately, after about three hours I was in a lot of pain, and had to leave. But it was still nice to get out.
-
I need a nap.

Cilla, have you gone out and met any of the candidates yet?
-
I'm watching the rerun of the Chopped All-Stars, the worst thing is I don't remember who wins

No, I don't like any of the candidates, don't plan to meet them. They have all been in town, though
-
I'm watching the rerun of the Chopped All-Stars, the worst thing is I don't remember who wins
I assume that is a cooking show, but it sounds more like a slasher movie.
-
It's a cooking show on HGTV. I love it. They get a basket with mystery ingredients and have a certain amount of time to come up with an appetizer, then an entree, then a dessert one contestant is chopped each round until you have the winner. There are always some bizarre ingredients. It's lots of fun
-
It is so strange that you can pretty well walk up and meet any of the candidates that interest you; but by the time they visit Washington, they all have Secret Services agents and entourages, so you can't even get a handshake unless you are one of the party faithful.
-
This round was a goat leg, dried hibiscus flowers, patipan(?) squash and trail mix

It's nice that we can walk up and meet candidates, but we are bombarded by them for about a 1 1/2 years. I won't be answering my phone unless the caller ID is someone I know for the next 6 months.
-
Well, the pills are now kicking in, and my little adventure took it out of me; so I think I had better got to bed.
-
G'night!
-
Last week I had about 10 calls from polls. The calls I answered I declined to participate. I have had Obama's people call 5 times, Michelle Bachman has left messages probably 10 times, and there have been others. It's a blessing and a curse.
-
Night TCB, Sleep well.
-
Long but fun day at the winery, bookended by terrific barbecue and fried chicken. One happy camper.
-
I'm hungry for chicken over a charcoal grill...not gas, charcoal. May have to clean up the weber grill tomorrow and fire it up
-
Wonder how BK is liking FOLLIES?
-
Wonder if Jose actually walked into the Pacific or just had a photo op?
-
Wondering if Jose ate at Jose's
-
Wondering if reading today's posts may answer my questions
-

I just dipped my toes - well, my feet and ankles - in the Pacific.
-
Wondering if Jose ate at Jose's
Nope. But I did try the fried pickles at Smash Burger, the cupcakes at Cups, and the ice cream at Moo Town.
:)
-
Yum!
-
Wondering what else I can wonder about so we have more posts, lol
-
Tell us more about your day Jose!
-
All three cats have been within 3-4 feet of me all evening. I guess they are glad I stayed home tonight!
-
I've been thinking about driving out into the country to look for meteors. But, I've seen the showers many times. It's cool, but I think I'll pass this year
-
Ok, someone help me....there's way to much me on this page
-
Just trying to get to page 6 before BK shows up
-
We're not that far away
-
Hearing a cat purr is one of my favorite sounds. I've been lucky enough to hear it a lot today
-
I think I'll go see The Help tomorrow. I wanted to read the book first, but I can always read it later
-
I think there are only 5 more posts to go
-
Then we will be on page 6
-
Won't that be grand
-
I can hardly wait
-
This should do it
-
Whew! My work is done here
-
Vibes to those injured and the families of those killed when the stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair tonight

Saw BK at FOLLIES (he had a much better seat location than we had) and he was very funny pointing out celebrities like "Look, there's Lauren Bacall" and such and pointing out people who looked nothing like the celebrity he'd mention. It was like a very funny Leno sketch.

Was Remy Zaiken there too?

Tell us more about your day Jose!
Well...
I just ironed my shirt for tomorrow. -And it's a beautiful shirt. And a beautiful tie too.
-
And then...
My Dad told me that he will be wearing a tux tomorrow for the wedding. Hmmm... I was told that I did not need to wear a suit. Hmmm... But maybe that's because I won't be "up front"? Hmmm... At least I'll be wearing a nice shirt and tie.

:) A beautiful tie and shirt are always nice
-
If you were told you don't need a suit then I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure you'll look fabulous in your beautiful shirt and beautiful tie.

Wow, really sad about Indiana...newest update 4 fatalities and 40 people transported to hospitals in Indiana. Vibes to all there
-
Back from Follies and a little post-show gathering at Angus with Barry and his cousins, and Brian Gari.
-
Many thoughts on Follies, which I'll share in the notes.
-
And...
I think I'm going to get ready for bed.
Goodnight.
