Good morning, all! It's another morning of running errands. Today I will be at the McGlinnventory, helpng Geri our paralegal wth another move to empty the McGlinn scores in another sale.

Following that, I will head home to deal with whatever fresh hell has come up here. Tonight I'm seeing the Manhattan School of Music production of COSI FAN TUTTE, and I look forward to that.

Coffee!

Shortly I'm meeting my hiking group.  Later I'm getting my teeth cleaned.  I think I let myself be talked into this appointment because the dentist isn't too far from Baskin Robbins.

yesterday I received my LUCY SHOW SEASON FIVE dvd release.

It is most excellent - although most of the episodes are average Lucy.....still better than MOST of HERE'S LUCY.

Included is the 1967 special Lucy in London featuring Lucy and Tony Newley.....choreographed by MR BK's friend David Winters....and it's a lot of fun.  There is also a documentary about the filming of the special which is very interesting.

The color on all of the episodes and the special is very bright and fun.....and we also get to see the opening that featured Lucy's head on a jack-in-the-box that she hadn't bothered to look at until it opened the first episode of the 5th season....she saw it and was pretty horrified by the image.....so a new opening was created for her.....and the opening was changed after the first 10 episodes of the season.

The first 10 episodes of the set feature the dreaded jack in the box......

Well in the why do they fix it if it ain't broke department, I spent several hours last night trying to deal with a fairly technical display issue regarding 1080i vs. 1080p and discovered this morning it was all because the gurus at Playstation "upgraded" their PS3 software to deinterlace interlaced presentations.  Oy and vey.

Well for most people it's actually nice as it will not just automatically upscale anything at less than 1080p, it also correctly reproduces the OAR, which the older s/w didn't do (you'd have to adjust your screen size on your tv).  But for those of us who need to know native resolutions, it's a pain.

I am back from the McGlinnventory. Geri  and I went through all of the books on music, opera, composers, programs, plays, and libretti, sorting them into "Sale" (and pricing them for a minimum bid), "NYPL" for programs and all the plays in foreign language, and "Trash." We did find some good libretti to pt up for sale, like "Sitting Pretty." the 1927 "Show Boat," the 1938 "Boys from Syracuse," "Music On The Air," "Pipe Dream" and others. The weirdest set is the 21 volumes of the complete plays of Carlo Goldoni in Italian!

Wow! Two more boys have claimed molestation by Jerry Sandusky today. Where is DR MBarnum? Coincidence? Probably.

That's correct...the previous version of the board allowed our pictures to be up to 110 by 150 pixels.  When the board was updated, the 110x150 pictures that were there could still be used, but any new ones could only be added at the smaller size of 65 by 65 pixels.

I'm sorry to hear about your colitis, DR Michael S. I hope you find relief soon.

I suffered damage to my digestive system many years ago as the result of taking so many pain killers. I was searching for some books on the subject when NO MORE HEARTBURN by Sherry Rogers, MD came out. It was a huge help. Dr Rogers offers many suggestions. I tried more than a few and undid most of the damage. To this day I still take glutamine (an amino acid) and DGL, as needed. The book is usually available from Amazon. The title is a misnomer, as the scope of the book is far broader than just heartburn. I recommend it to anyone with digestive ailments.

Included is the 1967 special Lucy in London featuring Lucy and Tony Newley.....choreographed by MR BK's friend David Winters....and it's a lot of fun.  There is also a documentary about the filming of the special which is very interesting.

The color on all of the episodes and the special is very bright and fun.....and we also get to see the opening that featured Lucy's head on a jack-in-the-box that she hadn't bothered to look at until it opened the first episode of the 5th season....she saw it and was pretty horrified by the image.....so a new opening was created for her.....and the opening was changed after the first 10 episodes of the season.

The first 10 episodes of the set feature the dreaded jack in the box......

THe LUCY IN LONDON special is included?!?  Why didn't I hear about this?  It would be worth owning for the "Lucy In London" number alone!

I am back from the McGlinnventory. Geri  and I went through all of the books on music, opera, composers, programs, plays, and libretti, sorting them into "Sale" (and pricing them for a minimum bid), "NYPL" for programs and all the plays in foreign language, and "Trash." We did find some good libretti to pt up for sale, like "Sitting Pretty." the 1927 "Show Boat," the 1938 "Boys from Syracuse," "Music On The Air," "Pipe Dream" and others. The weirdest set is the 21 volumes of the complete plays of Carlo Goldoni in Italian!

Wow! Two more boys have claimed molestation by Jerry Sandusky today. Where is DR MBarnum? Coincidence? Probably.
Will this be an online sale for libretti, etceteri?

I don't know how the paralegal will handle it. Every item will have a beginning bid. I've done my bit and I'm now assembling a mailing list of email addresses for anyone wanting to be a recipient of the lists.

Done. I'm getting lots pf requests from the Cast Recording List. I wonder, though, how many are interested in actully buying something, curious about what was in John's library, or hoping that we'll be selling his full scores to KISS ME KATE, NO NO NANETTE, and other recordings.

Who's to know?

I am dressed to see COSI FAN TUTTE, Much as I love Mozart, this opera does nothing for me after the great act one trio

Unbelievably annoying day so far - actually it was fine until after the four-mile jog.  At two, I got into the motor car to find a deader than dead battery.  On a car that barely is two years old and has only 13,000 miles on it.  And, two weeks after it was serviced.  So, I called the auto club and they came out and replaced the battery.  I then called the service department at Infiniti and they agreed it was outrageous that the battery died.  I told them I had no time to come in and have them replace it (it's under warranty) because I was about to have serious troubles if I couldn't get to where I needed to get to immediately.  I said I fully expected to be reimbursed and they said they didn't imagine it would be a problem.  And now I'm an hour behind where I should be and have to shower and get over to the Gardenia.

Well in the why do they fix it if it ain't broke department, I spent several hours last night trying to deal with a fairly technical display issue regarding 1080i vs. 1080p and discovered this morning it was all because the gurus at Playstation "upgraded" their PS3 software to deinterlace interlaced presentations.  Oy and vey.

Keith still has a flat tire on his car.  Craig didn't feel confident leaving the jack set up while he took the tire to be fixed & he couldn't get the screwy spare on the car.  The spare has to be filled with air before it can be used.  Somehow the front seat has a way to put air in the tire ???  They will deal with it in the morning.  He had planned to take his car to get the oil changed then.  The delay from the tire made us too late to go to Target.  :(

I did make it to Baskin Robbins before the dentist.  They kept it in their freezer for me while my teeth were cleaned.  No cavities, though a special e-ray was done.  I hope I receive good news on the results.

I think Keith needs to attempt this & see how one really fills the tire.  At the moment he is somewhat frustrated.

And he had to drop off a couple at LAX first.  He did get me to LGB "on time"... With only five minutes to spare before they closed my flight off. WHEW! Thankfully, that was the only bit of travel drama I had yesterday, but, needless to say, by the time I got back to my hotel room last night around 11:00pm, all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and sleep.

4 hours of NOZZE DI FIGARO I can love, but 3 hours of COSI FAN TUTTE seems like eternity. There were great moments: the production was funny and sassy, there were a couple of really wonderful performances, but, after Act One, Act Two is one solo or duet after another going on far too long.

It was nice to see my beloved goddaughter Charlotte there, DR PennyO, and others.

Happy Birthday, JANE!!!!!

Yes, the Cosi Fan Tutte was quite a nice production - all the bells and whistles, and - unfortunately - ALL the arias and ALL the repeats in the ensembles. It was just wonderful to see my ol' pal Elmore!

Nitey=nite, y'all!!

I really enjoyed "Satyagraha"...the performers, the singing, the sets, the giant puppets, but ultimately, I just don't "get it."  I don't get the show as a whole...it doesn't make any sense to me. :-\

Does anyone know if this Chia Obama is for real?

Why, yes it was.
