Good morning to one and all! I went to bed at 9:00 last night and slept rather well until 6:00 this morning. My day is rather uneventful:laundry, tidying up the apartment, and dealing with the pile of work on my desk.

I think we're offering the role of Harry in DEAREST ENEMY to my friend Hal Cazalet, who sang Captain Ladislaw on the John McGlinn recording (never released) of THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER.  If he accepts, we'll have most of our cast. I'm going to put a plug in here for Hal's recording with Sylvia McNair; it's a collection of songs with lyrics by Hal's great-grandfather, P.G. Wodehouse, and it's quite wonderful, including the lyrivs Wodehouse house wrote for the London production of ANYTHING GOES.

Yesterday I received the out of print Richard Rodgers book Letters To Dorothy and last night I read the letters dealing with the period of 1926-1930. I've been wanting to read this book for some time. I'm also finishing up the new biography of James Kirkwood and in the middle of The Terror, dealing with the French Revlution and its aftermath, which I carry with me for travel reading.

TOD:
   DVD: Jeez, the three Netflix items still sit here and I got from England the BFI print of THE DEVILS
   CD: Hal Cazalet's recording of Wodehouse songs, Guy Haines, John Wilson's proms
   VCR: wow!

Dealer is just leaving Pasadena now, so will be over thirty minutes late.  And the engineer is now telling me we could start as early as five.  Isn't that always the way?  So dinner may have to be put aside, or if we eat then books will have to be gone through more quickly.  Had they gotten here on time at three we could have been back here at four-fifteen and they could have spent ninety minutes going through stuff.  I've told the engineer that I'll try to get to him by six.  Probably foregoing dinner is the easiest thing to do, but if we do I will then not have time to eat until after the mix, and that's not good.

And who knows if they actually left when they said they were.  It's already been thirty minutes for what should be a twenty minute drive.  If they're not here until four, then either dinner or books will suffer - and I'd probably prefer it be dinner.

Good Friday is a somber day for Christians. I have never heard anyone wish anyone anything on this day. Usually there is a church service where the crucifixion of Jesus is remembered.

That sounds like when people say, "Happy Memorial Day." :-X

My coworker Monica and I went to lunch at Falafel King today. I had a Shawarma and she had Hummus (she can't eat meat today).

Abdullah let me try some Falafel for free.

Is this part of a chain?

Not a chain. Just owned by an individual, or two.

Why would they call it "Good" then?

Not so good for Jesus, but good for his followers. That's my guess.

Fr. Richard says "Good" Friday evolved linguistically from "God's" Friday, the commemoration of the crucifixion.  Last night's service ended with the stripping of the altar, removal of all decoration and the bronze cross, which was replaced with a rough-hewn wooden one.  That was draped in black for tonight's office of Evening Prayer and Stations of the Cross.  No music, no communion.

Good Friday means I have to honor my promise to my Mom and not eat any meat on this day.  That means I have to eat fish.  Yuck.  But I did it.

So glad to hear that DR TCB is doing well.

We had a nice visit with our 96-year-old parishioner who looks great and has a very sharp mind.  She told us about immigrating from Macedonia in 1927 and admired the album of Rob and Mary Linda's wedding pictures that I keep on my iPhone.  In the lobby of her apartment building I saw a cute Easter craft that I'm trying to duplicate after a trip to JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby - film at 11 (most likely tomorrow).

Good Friday greetings from the west side of Lima, OH!  We arrived yesterday in time to check into the hotel before church.  After the service we pIcked up sandwiches to eat in our room while we watched TV.  Today I'm letting Fr. Richard sleep in and this afternoon we're going to visit a shut-in.

It must be nice to spend the night there and not get up so darn early in the morning.

Yes, it is, DR Jane, except when the previous resident of our room had the clock radio set for 6:15am and we forgot to check it before we went to sleep last night.  Fortunately, we had no trouble going back to sleep - me 'til 8:30 and Richard 'til 10.  The alarm is OFF now, but we have to get moving a little earlier tomorrow because we're meeting our niece Rev. Amy (Methodist) and her family for an early lunch about 30 minutes north of here.

It's interesting, Ginny, how differently we observe the day in our services. Ours was filled with music, which is what makes it my favorite service of the year.

The titles of many of the hymns are gruesome: "Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted," "O, Sacred Head Now Wounded," "O, Dearest Jesus, What Law Hast Thou Broken?"

But the melodies are so good.

Familiar hymn tunes?  Truth be told, one of the things I miss since we left the Methodist church is the hymnal.

The Harlem Globetrotters were very fun. My niece just loved it. She was laughing and grinning. My uncle spoiled her and got her a program and a basketball.

For TAR fans both Big Easy and Flight Time are on the cover of the program. But Big Easy was not there tonight. But Flight Time was and he was very funny.

The Harlem Globetrotters really are funny. They put on a good show. I sort of tried to explain to my niece that they never lost. But i guess she didn't quite grasp that a lot of it is staged. Cause she was on pins and needles waiting to see if they would win in the end.

Questions for DR John G.:

Which of these fresh herbs should I direct Mae-Ling to tomorrow to season the chicken and zucchini? Parsley, cilantro, thyme, basil, sage, oregano, rosemary.

Some of the plants are still small, since I just did my spring planting a while ago. Enough rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley. A little basil, oregano, cilantro.

P.S. I have boneless chickens breasts that we will cut into bite-sized pieces and cook in olive oil on the stovetop.

Back from a long afternoon.  Book dealers got here an hour late.  We went to Casa Vega, had a great dinner, then they came back and looked through as much as they could look through before I had to leave.  They took about seventy books, which was great.

Then it was the mix of act two of the ALW show.  We got two-thirds through and then just got very giddy.  The Jesus Christ Superstar stuff was okay and I think we saved quite a few numbers in act two and got them to sound decent.  And Carole Cook's usual fifteen-minute monologue edited down to two hilarious minutes perfectly.  At the point the began the Sunset Blvd. section, the band just seemed to give up completely - that song, one of the most horrifyingly bad things I've ever heard, will not be on the album, unless we want to sell this as a comedy album.  We just starting howling with laughter the more we tried to fix it.  Every instrument seems to be playing in whatever key they feel like - or perhaps they were just playing the wrong bars, and the screeching violin (with only the DI pickup - no natural sound) was so pathetic I began saying, "That sounds like a cat in the throes of being strangled to death.  That sounds like a cat choking on its own vomit.  That sounds like a cat having having its appendix out without an anasthetic."  And that's exactly what it sounded like.  We put it at the end of the show, just so the director could hear what we've been dealing with.  Otherwise, we've done as good as we can do.  My big suggestion is to switch out the openings of disc one and two - the Superstar segment on disc two is much stronger - then we'd move the original opening segment, Joseph, to disc two.  That will help things, I think, and then some judicious repositioning of other numbers will help, too.
