We aren't doing much today. I was going to get a haircut but my barber comes in from Queens and since travel is such a mess today and tomorrow he won't be here. I'll have to wait until next week for the haircut.
My sister Paula had a pretty kitty for about 4 years. Earlier this year, Smudge had a growth on one of her hind legs.....the doctor had to scrape it.....and Smudge had a tough time dealing with it.
Last week when my sister got home from the Dark Shadows Festival, Smudge had another tumor.....she took her to the vet who said that kitty would lose her leg.
The surgery was yesterday morning, but Smudge didn't survive.....she couldn't breathe after the surgery, and they were unable to revive her.....
So she has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Not earth shaking in the light of world events, but a sad day at my sister's house. :'(
I only have this tiny photo right now.
The revival of Chicago has moved past A Chorus Line as the 4th longest running show ever. It surpasses A Chorus Line. The original production open in matter of days of ACL and was over shadowed in its time. I saw the original production with everyone but Chita Rivera as she had left the show. It was one of the first Broadway shows I ever saw.
IMHO I think Chicago is better show and it lights of what has happened with public trials on tv and other medium the show has become more relevant than it was when it first opened.
The show keeps on being rediscovered my younger audiences. I read that they get a lot of High School groups seeing it and for man teenagers this is the first exposure to Broadway.
It also helps with the revolving door of actors every 4 months or so. Some well known some not.

And the word of the day is: FATILOQUENT!
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm watching the updates on "Irene"... And it really seems that everyone is reacting to the possible storm damage quite "early" - which is better than "late" - but it does seem quite "early" to be shutting down some things when the brunt of the storm is not due to hit that area until 12 hours later.
My guess is that they think people will wait until the last minute and if everything is still open and runnning people won't think they need to leave but it everything is closed and there is no transportation, they will realize it's time to go
A hurricane warning remains in effect for Sussex County. Forecasters do not expect Sussex County to sustain a direct hit from the eye of the storm, with the center expected to pass just to the east, perhaps by about 20 or 30 miles. However, winds of at least 75 mph or more are expected across the county throughout the event, with gusts to100 mph possible. The storm is expected to be at its peak between midnight Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday.
Meantime, the storm is forecast to create a surge of three to six feet of water along the oceanfront, Delaware Bay and Inland Bays, with lesser surge amounts along Chesapeake Bay tributaries, including the Nanticoke River. The storm is also expected to kick up waves of 12 to 16 feet in the surf zone, and dump as much as seven to 10 inches of rain.
Glad it's the weekend and that i live at the beach.

I agree with you about the show's being better than A CHORUS LINE, DR MichaelS, but I don't agree with your last comment; the Weislers will put anyone into that show - regardless of dancing , acting or singing chops - as they are wont to do with any show they produce.

Holey moley! I just picked up my mail, sorted out the dross, and I got not only an invoice check from August 15 but a nice royalty from my publisher! Made my day.
I walked over to mybank to deposit them - they're usually open on Saturday mornings - but they're closed, as is Barnes & Noble. Arties is open.

Yeah! got notice that my lost maraca was found! That means I'm no longer one maraca short of a pair.

MEGA VIBES TO EVERYONE ON THE EAST COAST. :'(
EXTRA EXTRA MEGA VIBES. :-*
Our county is under a mandatory evacuation order for "all coastal areas". Now, unless you perchance should log onto the County Website, and have an Adobe reader installed, you would not know whether or not you were in such an area. Now, since Delmarva is, in reality, an Island (there is no dry land bridge to the peninsula) most of the region could be considered "coastal" area. It turns out that the government has decreed: A mandatory evacuation for coastal communities within three-fourths of a mile of major waterways is in effect for the state of Delaware. (It turns out that we are outside the area by a few blocks- never mind that the rear of our property is protected wet lands and borders a stream the leads to the Atlantic Ocean.)
Not to worry, says the news "The eye will not pass over Rehoboth but will be off shore 20-30 miles.
Gee, sure glad the center of a 600-700 mile wide storm will miss me by 20-30 miles!

I'm a bit sore this morning. It's been years and years and years since I played my flute for as long as I did last night. But it was SOOO much fun and so great I'd do it again right now if I could. Think I'll call the piano tuner on Monday. I want to start playing it again.

Cat 1, Tropical Storm - makes little difference to NYC; the major threat is the amount of rainfall and the storm surge, both of which would be essentially the same.

We are supposed to get a lot of rain tomorrow. Hopefully we won't have too much flooding.
We were supposed to go to the circus. But not sure if we will now.
My AFO brace (which I preferr to call an AOL brace because it doesn't really work) is uncomfortable to wear, and does not allow me to walk, even with a cane. The problem is that, although my foot does flop around, I also have very little control of my entire left leg. I can do about two to three Frankenstein steps; but that is all.

I will, of course, continue to wear it a few hours a day in the hope that it will become more comfortable over time.

I've wondered if this revival would be doing as well as it has been IF...
-it had used the original book and score - Not the streamlined Encores! concert version.
-the movie version of it had tanked.
And as DR elmore pointed out, the producers have been able to keep this show running via some very blatant "Star Casting". Some of the leads come in for a few months, some only come in for a few weeks. However, it is nice seeing that they're starting to feature some relative unknowns lately such as Nikka Graff Lanzarone.
As for it being the first Broadway show for "man [sic] teenagers", the Weisslers have a very good educational program tied into to the show. They will hold a seminar-like presentation during the day, then the students will see either the matinee or evening show. Of course, bringing in Guest Stars such as Usher, Christie Brinkley, Kara DioGuardi (who starts next week), etc., also brings in some audience members who might otherwise not consider seeing a Broadway show.
Our guest list margin just narrowed by 3 with a positive response, so we're between 62 and 72 now.

I was never a big "Chorus Line" fan, either. Thought Hamlisch's music was excellent at times, weak at others. But that was mainly because it eclipsed "Pacific Overtures" that year.

Witnesses said they saw a funnel cloud; the National Weather Service is investigating to determine if the damage was caused by a tornado. Sussex County spokesman Chip Guy said preliminary reports indicate a tornado did move through the neighborhood.

She is obsessed with the cd of Annie. She listens to it every night as she falls asleep. She also has the newer dvd. Anyhow the older version with Aileen Quinn was on tv. So i recorded it and we watched it tonight. OMG my niece was on pins and needles very upset with the idea that people not her parents could take her. She said it wasn't like that in the newer version (I wonder if they tried to make it less scary for the kids).
Anyhow i told her nothing bad would happen to Annie. And now she is fascinated by Punjab (who i guess is not in the newer version).
(Shaba Shaba it's called).
