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

And the word of the day is: CATAWAMPUS!
-
Good morning! Is it really Saturday? I keep thinking it's Sunday since I was off yesterday.
-
What are 42 guests doing up at this hour... on this site? What am I doing up at this hour?
-
good morning to all
-
Saturday is a work day.....but at least it is also a MAIL DELIVERY day.
-
Fictional detective:
Miss Marple
Ellery Queen
Mike Hammer
and the same for movie/tv detectives.
I also like Paul Drake on Perry Mason.....I like the NCIS crew.....and if they can be counted as detectives.....Sam and Dean Winchester from SUPERNATURAL.
-
Very entertaining Filichia on Friday column.
-
TOD:
Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade are definitely my favorites.
I love THE MALTESE FALCON and FAREWELL, MY LOVELY with Mitchum.
I also love CHINATOWN
I enjoy THE BIG SLEEP with Bogart, but it does have its problems.
-
The first day of the Austin Comic Con was exhausting...but I did okay.
Sold more books than I though I would do.
Back today and tomorrow at 10 am.
-
I tried catching the open top, hop on hop off tourist bus but couldn`t find it anywhere, despite waiting where it was supposed to stop, neither have I seen it around the city so maybe itīs not running. Weather is glorious, hot and sunny. I am off to the airport soon to fly back to London.

The Man Who Watched Trains Go By is a fascinating film. I saw it for the first time just a few years ago. I read the book after seeing the film. A curious, interesting novel in which the Claude Raines character is considerably less sympathetic.
-
Off to work. Oh well.
-
And the word of the day is: CATAWAMPUS!
And The Song Of The Day Is: TWISTED
-
Acorn is remastering all of the old POIROT episodes in HD and rereleasing them on BD starting next year.
-
Saturday morning greetings! Richard and I had a delightful time last night at Miami University Opera's PIRATES OF PENZANCE. The diction wasn't great, especially during the spoken parts, but that didn't matter. There were a couple of Middletown kids in the show and we visited with their parents during intermission.
-
DR Cillaliz, I, too, will be tuning in to the Penn State/Nebraska game - just out of morbid curiosity. It's on at the same time as Cincinnati/West Virginia, so I'll be flipping back and forth. Later, Michigan plays at Illinois and the Middletown Middies go up against Cincinnati Moeller in state playoffs.
-
We have a busy, busy day today. I'm conducting my fall Pops concert this afternoon and then tonight Betsy and I have a date at the Jewish Federation Gala which is featuring Last Comic Standing's Gary Gullman in performance.
-
Gulldurnit, I keep trying to HTML code my posts here and it just ain't workin. :)
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it rained(!) last night here in Glendale.
-
And now I'm deciding whether or not to organize my book. Well... Rather I'm trying to decided if I want to put it in show order, or in alphabetical order just to make it easier for me to find the songs during these still relatively early rehearsals.
Or just leave it the way it is. ::)
-
Well...
;)
Laters...
-
Excellent Filichia on Friday column.
When I was a finalist for the Ebb Award last year, Pasek and Paul were among the others who'd been finalists, so out of curiosity while all the finalists waited the few weeks to find out who won (the winner ended up being the brilliant Doug Cohen), I'd heard a good bit of their work and was very pleased to even be in their company as fellow finalists.
-
I'm up, a little later than planned but sleep is good. It's very gray out - rained for a while in the middle of the night, and looks like more may be coming, so the jog, at least for now, is out, unless it clears up by the time I return from rehearsal.
-
What do I have in common with 35 (count 'em 35) guests?
We're all here right now.
-
Come on in, folks. The water is fine and we can chat.
-
Well, shucks. They're ALL gone. Yep, there are ZERO (count it, 0) guests here now.
Sigh.
-
Where is page 2?
-
It must be here somewhere
-
Almost
-
Page 2 dance
-
I am not caught up, so if I've missed any birthday wishes to anyone or such stuff, it's not intentional.
-
BK - has someone posted this already - they're watching and embedding Outside the Box in Germany!
http://www.kultur-channel.at/musicals-outside-the-box-episode-1/
-
That's because the site has been down for forty-five minutes. I wrote the hosting people - even their main site was down and I couldn't get anyone on the phone. But you can be sure that when THEIR own site is down, they'll do what they need to do to get everything working again.
-
Finally, a post went through - they've obviously been up and down - their site went back up then went down - I could get to this page to post but the post would never go through, so obviously they were starting and stopping every few seconds. Hopefully they've fixed it now.
-
Cool about that Kultur site.
-
I was wrong, I guess - still hiccuping and not working properly. That last post took two minutes to happen.
-
Wow, half way through page 2 on a Saturday morning... well, afternoon now.
-
From DR Jose:
DR Jane - Some markets still do that. In fact, Whole Foods in NYC still puts price stickers on their items just in case their scanners go down.
Nice. I like them so I can remember what I paid. I never remember anymore what things cost.
-
It seems colder in the house today. I just started washing a load of towels & can't wait until they go into the dryer.
-
Greetings from the hotel. Getting work done, but need a short mental break.
-
Hi John G. Enjoy your mental break & vibes you get all your work done.
-
TOD:
Books:
Lew Archer
Philip Marlowe
Nick and Nora Charles
Perry Mason
Too many Agatha Christie characters to detail here.
Harry Bosch
Travis McGee (did I spell that right?)
Film or TV
Peter Falk as Colombo
Paul Newman as Lew Archer, er, Harper
Almost anybody who played Marlowe (including Elliott Gould)
Raymond Burr as Perry Mason
Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple
David Suchet at Poirot
William Powell and Myrna Loy as the Charleses.
-
Thanks, Jane. I am on a roll, surprisingly.
-
I just purchased my first ebook. Our local bookstore has a website now & I feel I should support them & not get all my books from the library. Plus I can decide when I want to read the book. :)
-

-
:Got.back home to find the internet is down again. Trouble is I don't know if the problem is with the phone line or the router.
-
I have gotten everything set up for the concert and am relaxing before the choir arrives.
In other exciting news, I purchased the December 1970 LOOK Magazine with the feature article on SCROOGE in it, which I still remember from my youth. It frightens me sometimes that these trivial items are stored away in my memory banks.
-
Parade is going well. It's a piece of theatre that I believe everyone should see as it does not get produced much, with good reason, of course. But this a great show. The company and the cast are publicizing the hell out of it. We're hoping that the final weekend will be sold out. It deserves it.
-
DR Doug G...INTERNET VIBES!!
-
DR JMK, I hope all went well today.
Are you beginning to feel better?
-
DR JMK, I hope all went well today.
Are you beginning to feel better?
Concert starts in about a half hour, but last runthrough sounded pretty good for a largely nonprofessional choir. :)
Maybe a little better, but sure not as well as I'd like to be feeling. Thanks for asking, though.
-
My altos are insisting on going down a half step to the tonic rather than a whole step to the major seventh on the final a cappella moment of CHERISH. I'm sure that's all happened to you at some point as well. :)
-
Absolutely ;D
-
Back after disconnecting so Richard could reset our wireless. We've watched college football all day, starting with the somber pregame at Penn State and a very close Cincinnati/West Virginia game that didn't turn out the way we wanted. Now we're watching Michigan at Illinois - hope the Blue doesn't blow it!
-
Break a leg to DR JMK and company!
-
Rain is expected later today so we took Sherlock for a little hike. I was so cold from the house it took most the hike before I warmed up. Of course as soon as I walked back into the house I began to chill down. I'm still warmer than before the hike. It helped having a big serving of the delicious jumbili Craig made last night, plus I have the towels in the dryer.
-
Sure is quiet here today...
-
Yup.
-
Ginny everyone in my book group LOVED my book pick. I highly recommend MAJOR PETTIGREW'S LAST STAND.
-
DR Jane - that book has been on our "back burner" for a while now. I think I'll declare it our March selection!
-
I'm glad you will be reading it.
-
Next month we are reading THE GOOD EARTH. I can't find my copy & I can't find an eBook.
-
Had I been able to log in from my Nook this morning I would have been the first poster after Bruce. For some reason it wouldn't accept my name & password. I just logged off & on and all was fine.
-
I can smell that the heat has been turned on.
-
I don't feel anything yet.
-
Back from a good rehearsal and then a quick sandwich and onion rings. Had two packages but no important envelope, which will hopefully be here on Monday.
Now, I REALLY recommend we get off this damn page.
-
Nice. I like them so I can remember what I paid. I never remember anymore what things cost.
Me, neither. It ticks me off when I'm shopping and the very thing I want isn't priced. Prices on everything BUT the item I'm interested in. When I get to the checkout, they always ask if I found what I was looking for. I let them know that "No! I could find no price on such-and-such." They find out the price, tell me, and if I like the price they send someone to fetch it for me and go ahead and ring it up. I do like good service.
-
I usually take the item up with me & have it priced at the checkout, no waiting then & they can return the item if I don't want it. Of course that doesn't work well for frozen items.
-
I went into the bedroom to read, and warm up, on my heating pad. I did as much dozing as reading. When I came out the house wasn't so chilly. Now I'm finally comfortable.
The heating system isn't completely set up. We are running on "emergency" which is more costly to use & could blow a fuse. With luck it will work until Monday when they finish setting everything properly.
-
It really is quiet today. I know I'm sleepy from lack of sleep last night. I ate too much many helpings of the jumbili which was really stupid, but yummy.

Is the replacement singer from Promises Promises have a brother and sister who also have done Broadway and that sister won a Tony Award and recorded a solo album with you?
-
'night
-
Good evening. I had a busy day. I did a little creative design to create a covering for two single pane old windows down the basement. They have very wide ledges where the cats like to sit, so I had to try to maintain that. I got the acrylic that they make plastic windows out of, cut it to fit, pushed it in and sealed it with foam insulation tape. I can already tell a difference
-
I also decided to start doing the office books at home, because it's really hard to get them done at the office. I was pretty nervous about being able to move the Quick Books, but it went well. Now I don't have to go back to the office on nights or weekends to balance the checkbook etc.
-
Tonight I went to a bon fire party in the country. It was a nice enough time. I dressed warmly enough not to freeze, so that was good. The downside is now that I'm home I still reek of smoke from the fire. Think I'll go take a shower

I don't have anything else but trivia stored in my brains. I can remember passages from Time reviews of Merrily We Roll Along or photos from On the 20th Century in magazines of the era, Pauline Kael comments on Robert Altman and interviews with Stephen Sondheim in the early 1970s. I can't remember people I met yesterday. Or remember people I've met a dozen times.

I found a copy of the script today in a volume that also has "The Wild Party," "Rent" and "Floyd Collins." I'm looking forward to reading it and LaChiusa's Wild Party. Vibes for the weekend performances.
-
We are shy on postings today. Unfortunately, I have to get back to work.
-
But here's a freebie.
-
Or two.
-

-
Wow - 11:30pm and only 3 pages. Wow is all I have.

Yes, Ilene Graff.
-
Okay, we are still on page three and have not only hit a new low for this board, we've hit a HUGE new low. Not happy in the City of Studio. At all.

She was the Mom on Mr Belvedere if I recall...

Well, Jose must have been out painting the town. I can't tell you how close I am to not changing the topic and locking this one. CLOSE, baby, CLOSE.
