Well, you've read the notes, you know what the worst film score ever is, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've just informed me that Mr. Lloyd Webber is working on the sequel to Cats, entitled Cows.

I've been feeling that there have been many more visitors to our little site than ever before and I just checked our stats and boy is that right - last month we had just under one million page views - we've never had a month like that before, but the last five months have all been over six hundred thousand page views - a year ago we got only 300,000 page views a month - I suspect that by the end of this year we will have had close to eight million page views, maybe more.  I knew we always had three or four million a year, but last month just surprised me.

I was going to tell you all about my bird dog, Toby.  I say "bird dog" because I had filled up two old dog bowls with bird seed and put them in the dog pen.  I shut the door so none but the birds could get in and the birds are safe.   Well with the rain I've been bringing the bird seed bowl into the house.  Last night I sat it on the kitchen floor.  Then I discovered Toby eating the bird seed!

I don't think it will hurt him.  What I don't get is that he has his dog food.  Lord knows neither he or Sheena go hungry.

Do you think he will begin to chirp?

good mrnng to all.

Had a bad few days with the first one with a trip to the ER. This has been my second trip in less than a month. My stomach problems have been acting up again and put me out of commission for the last few days. Seeing two doctors this week. Hoping that this can get to the bottom of it. I really hope that they can find something so they can know what to do to fix it

Good morning, all! I slept late. Again. Dreams of Ireland.

My apartment looks quite good today, I am very happy to report. Unfortunately, I can't do a great deal with some of the clutter until we resolve the office situation. My apartment is a tidy assortment of shopping bags and storage cartons filled with the personal property I'd accumulated for the old office nowwaiting to move into the new one. Still, t's the cleanest it's been in some time, and I a'm regaining a sense of space rather than the feeling that,  if I turn around, my butt will knock something over. 

I expect a visitor at one o'clock, and we will listen to EILEEN. Until then, I've got reading and writing - no 'rithmetic -  ro occupy my time. I also need a trip to the market. I think the milk in my fridge has turned sour before it's expiration date and I am not amused. I need coffee.

Top o' the beautiful sunny Sunday morning to y'all.

And that should be all.  But it isn't.

Stomach VIBES to DR Mike and the rest of them what needs VIBES.  And to DR Danise, now that this Sr. Member has caught up to the story of the Contractor From Hell, straight out of the nightmares of any homeowner.

And to yrs truly, who had so looked forward to enjoying a Blu-ray return to ODESSA FILE after at least a couple of decades, during which yrs truly had -- except for the fershluganah Christmas song -- completely forgotten that there was any additional music at all.  It had mercifully been erased from memory.  That film should have taken its place among the greatest 1970s thrillers.

I have a candidate for second worst film score ever, but I'll have to browse the horror DVDs to recall now which one it was.  But I'll find it, no worries about that.

How could anyone not be a fan of pancakes?? ???

Well, count me in as a non-fan of pancakes.  I will eat them, of course (name a food I won't eat, if needed), but I would much rather have a sausage and cheese omelette, or a good farmers scramble.  And, given the choice between pancakes and sleeping in for another hour; I will vote for sleeping in every time.

It's funny, but throughout my childhood and teen years at home, I would always eat pancakes whenever we had them, but they weren't something I craved or totally loved.  I think I ignored them for many years after that -- the one syrupy breakfast thing I loved now and then being french toast -- and that may, in fact, still be my all time favorite.  But now... NOW... I crave, and adore:  pancakes, waffles, the aforementioned french toast... all of it...with real butter, fake butter, real syrup, fake syrup...you name it, it goes in my belly.  It's a good thing we don't have any IHOPs or such nearby, because I'd soon be able to blame mucho extra pounds on them.

Thanks to all for the interest in my ACTING career.

In September I will be taking part in the Dixie Chopper 20th Century Radio Hour - which is a fund raiser for the USO and for the Young Eagles aviation camp.  I will be doing a Shakespearean version of "Who's On First" with my friend Larry Sutton....he and I were The Old Man and Mortimer in THE FANTASTICKS a few years ago....no I WAS MORTIMER, thank you very much.  He was also the long-time head of the technical department in DePauw University.  This happens in September.

THEN in November, I have been invited to help celebrate the 150th Anniversary of DePauw by being one of the "guest" actors in a 9-night run of THE CRUCIBLE that will include student actors and "professionals".

Playing Governor Danforth is none other than DePauw alumnus Mr David Cryer.  His wife is playing Rebecca Nurse and I will be playing HER husband, Francis Nurse.....although in the program you can bet it will be spelled "Frances Nurse"....ANYWAY...it should be fun.  I don't even come on until the second act....so there's lots of down time and it's a beautiful theatre.....DePauw has more $$$$ than ...  well  ....anything.

So in essence I will be playing the husband of the stepmother of Jon Cryer....so I am two degrees removed from working with Charlie Sheen.

If nothing else, it will be interesting.

David Cryer was in Phantom as Firmin on Broadway and on the road for almost 20 years....

DR ELMORE - Gretchen, also a DePauw alumnus is the FIRST wife, they were divorced in 1971.....he has been married to Britt Swanson since 1973.

Bummer! I did know they were divorced, but I didn't know he'd remarried. I've never met David. I did see him in the OBC of 1776.

I was going to tell you all about my bird dog, Toby.  I say "bird dog" because I had filled up two old dog bowls with bird seed and put them in the dog pen.  I shut the door so none but the birds could get in and the birds are safe.   Well with the rain I've been bringing the bird seed bowl into the house.  Last night I sat it on the kitchen floor.  Then I discovered Toby eating the bird seed!

I don't think it will hurt him.  What I don't get is that he has his dog food.  Lord knows neither he or Sheena go hungry.

Do you think he will begin to chirp?

Don't let him drink any water, or he might start growing plants in his stomach.  ;)
  LOL but what if he sprouts wings?

My sister Molly and me getting ready for the party.....I made wine spritzers....and we also served Mimosas....and played the Newlywed Game with the couples of honor....it was most wonderful.

BUT the best part was having my parents and ALL of their children together!   ;D
  I'm so glad that you all had such a good time!  More photos, please!

Thanks to all for the interest in my ACTING career.

In September I will be taking part in the Dixie Chopper 20th Century Radio Hour - which is a fund raiser for the USO and for the Young Eagles aviation camp.  I will be doing a Shakespearean version of "Who's On First" with my friend Larry Sutton....he and I were The Old Man and Mortimer in THE FANTASTICKS a few years ago....no I WAS MORTIMER, thank you very much.  He was also the long-time head of the technical department in DePauw University.  This happens in September.

THEN in November, I have been invited to help celebrate the 150th Anniversary of DePauw by being one of the "guest" actors in a 9-night run of THE CRUCIBLE that will include student actors and "professionals".

Playing Governor Danforth is none other than DePauw alumnus Mr David Cryer.  His wife is playing Rebecca Nurse and I will be playing HER husband, Francis Nurse.....although in the program you can bet it will be spelled "Frances Nurse"....ANYWAY...it should be fun.  I don't even come on until the second act....so there's lots of down time and it's a beautiful theatre.....DePauw has more $$$$ than ...  well  ....anything.

So in essence I will be playing the husband of the stepmother of Jon Cryer....so I am two degrees removed from working with Charlie Sheen.

If nothing else, it will be interesting.

David Cryer was in Phantom as Firmin on Broadway and on the road for almost 20 years....
  Congrats!!!!

Last night, I watched the PBS pledge-drive of the British music invasion of the Sixties.  The hostess was Petula Clark.  She looked pretty good, but her voice was really ragged.  In fact, she only sang one song, DOWNTOWN, and that was it.  Lulu was on the show to sing TO SIR WITH LOVE.  She looked incredible!

Thanks, Jennifer.  Oh my gosh, there is already a sequel to FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, or perhaps I should say, Book Two of the Trilogy.
Not that I have read them but all three books are out.  Btw if you or anyone else with a kindle is interested I receive emails from a few different kindle websites every day and they list all the free ebooks that day. It is quite amazing. If anyone is interested i could list the websites.

Yesterday I was watching the Seattle Mariners' game on TV (what else is new?).  There was a little girl who was probably seven or eight years old in the stands.  She was obviously a birthday girl.  She was wearing a crown that was made of the same material as her outfit.  Also, she seemed to have the same snotty attitude as so many entitled children seem to possess.  This was obviously her birthday party.  I saw, at least, four or five children of the same age sitting next to her.  Now, the only reason I noticed her was that she and her group were looking terribly bored during the whole game, and that hey were sitting in the front row of of the stands at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago very close to home plate; so everytime they would show the batter up close, I got to see the birthday party.

Now, I have no idea how much those seats cost in Chicago, but in Seattle those seats would go for, at least, $400.00 a ticket.  That makes a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese sound pretty reasonable.

From what I have gathered from all my doctors and surgeons, the pain in my lower back is not going to go away.  The suregery was only supposed to cure (in time) the numbness in my left leg and my ability to walk.  Getting rid of the pain would require an additional surgery.

We're finishing up the last day of our visit.

This morning and afternoon we had no plans so we saw Dark Shadows for the exorbitant price of $5.00!!!

I know I'm in the Midwest.

It was fun, not great, but fun.

Anthony is napping and then we are going to my sister's (one of 4) for one last meal. When we return to the hotel we may go in the pool one more time but if so I'll have to use the hair dryer on my swim suit and then pack it in a plastic bag tomorrow if it's not completely dry.

We leave for the airport about 6:30am tomorrow and we will be back in New York (Manhattan, the Center of the World) about 3 or 4 pm depending on traffic.

It's been a fun, relaxing and stress-free trip. I have to go back to work on Tuesday but it will be OK now that I've had a few days off.

Later, gaters.

DR TCB, one of the couples we met on our cruise had been on a barge cruise in France.  I got the impression, though, that theirs was more rustic and they even did some "crew" work.  We'd definitely be poor persons at the end of this one!

Ginny, since you have river cruised in Europe, and I have thought about it; I thought you might want to read this article about a very poor-person's river cruise.

http://www.cruisespecialists.com/blogs/index.php/2012/05/french-country-waterways-horizonii-review/?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=blog&utm_content=frenchcountry


DR TCB, one of the couples we met on our cruise had been on a barge cruise in France.  I got the impression, though, that theirs was more rustic and they even did some "crew" work.  We'd definitely be poor persons at the end of this one!

The $1,300.00 in gratuities would do me in.

Thanks, Jennifer.  Oh my gosh, there is already a sequel to FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, or perhaps I should say, Book Two of the Trilogy.
Not that I have read them but all three books are out.  Btw if you or anyone else with a kindle is interested I receive emails from a few different kindle websites every day and they list all the free ebooks that day. It is quite amazing. If anyone is interested i could list the websites.

Thank you, Jennifer.

So would you like me to list the websites? If you sign up they send you one email per day of all the new ebooks that are free that day. The lists are incredible.

I woke up feeling pretty lousy today. I got ready and was in the car getting ready to drive the 2 1/2 hours to go to my niece's baby shower.  I decided that it was pretty stupid to do 240 miles round trip when I feel so lousy, so I called Sam and she didn't care at all if I wasn't there.  My mom told me she thought I was crazy for driving that far for a baby shower in the first place, so I stayed home.  I am VERY glad I decided to stay home.   I feel much better now and can have another day to rest my ankle rather than driving 5 hours

Feel better  vibes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday I was watching the Seattle Mariners' game on TV (what else is new?).  There was a little girl who was probably seven or eight years old in the stands.  She was obviously a birthday girl.  She was wearing a crown that was made of the same material as her outfit.  Also, she seemed to have the same snotty attitude as so many entitled children seem to possess.  This was obviously her birthday party.  I saw, at least, four or five children of the same age sitting next to her.  Now, the only reason I noticed her was that she and her group were looking terribly bored during the whole game, and that hey were sitting in the front row of of the stands at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago very close to home plate; so everytime they would show the batter up close, I got to see the birthday party.

Now, I have no idea how much those seats cost in Chicago, but in Seattle those seats would go for, at least, $400.00 a ticket.  That makes a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese sound pretty reasonable.

It is a shame to waste those tix on kids who don't appreciate it.

They were probably some company's seats. Or maybe some rich person's season tickets.

When we had baseball here i loved it so much. And when my grandfather was alive he had a bunch of very rich friends. And he would ask them to give me their tickets to a few games each year. Plus often there are companies who have the seats and have to give them out to their customers. I miss those times.

I think I mentioned it, but I haven't talked about it a lot.  She's had an uneventful pregnancy so far, everything is on track.  I think her due date is June 24 or something like that.  She's uncomfortable, but healthy and there are no concerns that I know of.  They don't know what the baby will be and don't want to know ahead of time.  Their colors are all yellow and green and the theme is bunny rabbits.  Hmmm. Let's see what else can I tell you :)   Oh, I got her the Broadway Lullaby project CD Over the Moon for her birthday.  I was going to take that to her today too, but she knows she's getting it so I don't mind talking about it here.

I'm sorry you're still in pain, TCB. I hope it improves soon.


From what I have gathered from all my doctors and surgeons, the pain in my lower back is not going to go away.  The suregery was only supposed to cure (in time) the numbness in my left leg and my ability to walk.  Getting rid of the pain would require an additional surgery.
  And the doctors point?  If they were going to fix one thing they certainly should have went ahead and fixed it so you wouldn't be in PAIN for the rest of your life.  Geeez.

We're finishing up the last day of our visit.

This morning and afternoon we had no plans so we saw Dark Shadows for the exorbitant price of $5.00!!!

I know I'm in the Midwest.

It was fun, not great, but fun.

Anthony is napping and then we are going to my sister's (one of 4) for one last meal. When we return to the hotel we may go in the pool one more time but if so I'll have to use the hair dryer on my swim suit and then pack it in a plastic bag tomorrow if it's not completely dry.

We leave for the airport about 6:30am tomorrow and we will be back in New York (Manhattan, the Center of the World) about 3 or 4 pm depending on traffic.

It's been a fun, relaxing and stress-free trip. I have to go back to work on Tuesday but it will be OK now that I've had a few days off.

Later, gaters.
You and Ant have a safe and stress free trip home!

That is appraently the problem,   I had lumbar 3 and 4 fused during my last surgery back in 2002.  The bad disks now are lumbar 1 and 2.  If they fused those two, the entire lumbar area would be fused, which is apparently a bad thing that they don't want to do.

Tomorrow, if I'm up to it, "Once Upon a Time in the West".

My friends and I spent a delightful evening watching Bruce and his extraordinary performers (both vocal and instrumental) doing an evening of Randy Newman. It was superlative from beginning to end, with a very savvy song selection that drew from the best in RN's catalog—including a couple of wisely chosen obscure numbers. Even without the presence of drop-dead gorgeous Leigh Ann and Gia, or the über talented guitarist Grant Geissman, it would have been worth going just for Bruce's infamous "Don Knotts as Tevye" impersonation. Thanks so much, Mr K, for an evening of many laughs and even a few tears (Dennis Kyle's "Losing You" and Gia Mora's "Real Emotional Girl" really put a lump in our throats).

As for film scores...one of my favorites is Randy's rejected score for "Air Force One"!

Well, it really couldn't have gone better - this was a very difficult show to put together - to keep it all moving and fresh and get it in the right order.  But we had a great cast, and everyone delivered in spades, even the one number that I had to get a little tough about - the performer delivered it flawlessly.  Only one singer went up on a lyric and I don't even think anyone really knew - he just kind of moved around while Grant and Tom cleverly vamped and then Tom threw out the lyric to the singer who picked up and went right on.  It was a very large crowd, very responsive, and the patter, which wasn't as easy as doing Lost in Boston or musical theater commentary, came off really well, I thought.  Doing Don Knotts was so much fun - it really came out of the blue, but when I was talking about people who'd recorded Newman songs early on I mentioned Tammy Grimes - and then I did a little impression of Miss Grimes, which I do REALLY well and have done since I was a teen.  Then a little later when I said that the first version of I Think it's Going to Rain Today that I ever heard was by Joel Grey, I did my Joel Grey impression.  And then I just went to Don Knotts land.  I also had some really fun interplay with Grant Geissman.  Just such a fun evening all the way around.

Just got home from seeing the National tour of Mary Poppins and was just thoroughly overjoyed with the production.  Don't ask me if it's better than the movie or if I liked the movie better because I don't believe in comparing stage musicals with their movie counterpart and vice versa.  I cried many times.

I've no doubt that a lot of hard work went into preparing this show, but everybody made it look effortless. My friends and I are all extreme Randy Newman fanatics, and I don't think any of us noticed a single flubbed line. I sure didn't. The Tammy Grimes schtick was truly inspired! I was unaware that Joel Grey did "Rain Today," but that was another terrific impersonation, and it got such a great reaction. I would pay to see an entire evening of these impersonations; I think people would really love it.

Someone should revive my favorite obscure RN tune, "She Chose Me" from Cop Rock. Randy's demo is truly heartbreaking. I am astonished nobody has ever covered it.
