Well, you've read the notes, the notes basked in the glow, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently basking in the glow just because they can.

And the word of the day is: LEVIGATE!

Good morning, all. Very early there, I'm sure, but it's shortly after 9 a.m. here. Off to the villages today to see what's what.

Morning all~ Just thought I'd pop in real quick and wish everyone a good day. I see BK on the board. Your either up very early or you are very late going to bed! Bye for now!

Jack, here is an article from Playbill (it's from September 2011) about
David Cryer and George Lee Andrews (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/154216-Phantoms-Longtime-Monsieurs-George-Lee-Andrews-and-David-Cryer-Exit-Broadway-Show-Sept-3)
and their departure from Phantom
-
Breakfast in 20 minutes and then off to the airport and security and our flight back to LGA. It's been a great trip but now it's time to return to reality.
I'll post again when I get back to NYC.
-
Good mornng, all! The big question today is whether or not I will hear from the plumber and super about this leak. I've adjusted my schedule so that I can spend today and tomorrow here; I've plenty of work so that's no problem. I just don't want this thing dragging out. I've too much else to deal with beyond waiting for the crew to fix this leak.
So, today I'll write the synopsis of EILEEN, work on the shw's history, and see how far I get.
BK, great news on last night's performance!
Since I was up early enough,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More safe travel vibes to our DR Ben and Ant! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't figure out where my bathroom leak is coming from. It's intermittent and doesn't seem related to any running of water. I have a maintenance contract for plumbing emergenies but I don't know if this qualifies as an emergency.

TOD:
I'll have to go back to what I said recently about the first subtitled film I saw. That was THE WAGES OF FEAR which was also the first foreign film I saw in a cinema at the age of eight. However my father had a 9.5mm projector and before the age of eight I saw several German made silent films from the UFA studio such as Ludwig Berger's 1923 film DER VERLORENE SCHUR (aka CINDERELLA). A delightful film which I can still recall (Berger went on to part-direct the 1940 THIEF OF BAGDAD)
EDIT: Found a web page about the film, from an article originally published in "Amateur Cine World", which I used to buy : http://www.silentsaregolden.com/hav%20bulleid/cinderellapage.html

And the word of the day is: LEVIGATE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: THE GRIND

After the brief hot weather, it's now turned extremely cold again. At least it solves my broken fridge problem - I now just leave the food outside the house :)

DR BEN thank you so much for the link to that article. Most interesting.

TOD: Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast." It was on the Million Dollar Movie one afternoon after school. Remains one of my favorite movies of all time, especially those wall lamps, which are arms in the wall holding up candles. When they moved, I was more fascinated than by any dancing object in a Disney movie.
-
Had the most incredible mushroom lasagna today with housemade noodles so rich in egg that you had to taste it to believe. And the mushrooms were spectacular.
I am in charge of making dinner tonight. We found good mozzarella and burrata at the market, so there will be a Caprese salad with some fresh tomatoes and basil. Roast chicken. Mac and cheese. Sauteed zucchini. And cheeses with some fruit/honey/chocolate for dessert. And vino.

TOD:
Probably the original GODZILLA - on television subtitled.......

Yes, great film. I think the first time I saw it was at the age of about twelve when it was on TV. One of the UK satellite channels here recently showed it in HD.

If you like stories of the Supernatural:
I've still got a very few copies of my book BLACK WATCH/THE CAVERN (2 complete screenplays) left from my recent appearance at Texas Frightmare Weekend. Since I don't have any horror conventions or appearances scheduled for the next few months, I thought I'd offer SIGNED copies on-line to anybody who would like one.
They are $13.00+$5.00 shipping (USA only); $18.00 total.
Here's the trailer for this book:

PayPal is fine. Please contact me if interested.

About a year ago, in Atlanta, I had coffee with one of my Facebook Vera Bradley friends, Amy. She wiped out yesterday on her bicycle and is hospitalized with a broken jaw, lacerated chin, a skull fracture, and brain swelling. And, yes, she was wearing a helmet! Vibes for her would be appreciated.

Gosh that is terrible about your friend DR Ginny. Was she hit by a car or did she hit something? I can't imagine that much damage from just feeling.

I ride a lot and have never fallen off my bike. Although I was almost hit by a car once (and this was at a bike cross walk).
I would think that if you went slowly. Or do they have bike paths where you are? Or places for bikes to ride that aren't on busy streets? I don't ride on busy streets. And if i am going somewhere and i need to go on a busy street then i drive on the sidewalk. Most bikes do if the street is very busy. I don't find it safe to drive on the road.
-
Glad your friend is at least doing okay DR Ginny.
Btw, re: you trying to go biking. Are you pretty steady on your feet? Are you at all clutzy prone to little accidents? If you gave the right answers and i'm assuming you have biked in the past? I would think that it is pretty rare to get hurt as badly as your friend. Although that said when my niece was learning to ride her bike she did fall a few times. I think though that she took her hands off the handles when she felt like she was going to fall.

I'd forgotten she was in it!

So, I've written the synopsis for Acts One and Two and now I have to read Act Three, to get all those turns of story correct. It was all I could do to not insert sarcastic references into the commentary, like "being an operetta hero, he has no concern about bellowing offstage at any opportunity to reveal his identitry to the powers that could hang him." Great score, stupid libretto.
-
And Maila Nurmi.
I'd forgotten she was in it!
Don't know this one, and somehow missed it when looking through them last week.

Hi DR Bretty, thanks for the report.
-
I need to work off the excess food I ate in Chicago.
Laters.
-
I, on the other hand, am up. I was so wired last night I didn't fall asleep till almost three.
-
Yay, Jane is back.
-
It's nearly 2pm. I don't guess the damned plumber is showing up today. This pisses me off.
-
DR Jennifer - my friend was going fast downhill and tried to swerve to avoid a group of people. No other bikes or vehicles were involved. As for me riding, it's just not advisable, given how easily I bruise and how life-threatening internal bleeding would be. Also, anything I can do to avoid having to have any kind of surgery is prudent. Bike-riding just isn't worth the risk.
-
Amy should be released from the hospital soon. Apparently her broken jaw will not require surgery, nor will her knee. She and her husband are teachers, so at least they have the summer off...

Here is a shot after the ceremony

And here is a shot of us eating cake at the luncheon after the ceremony.

Congratulations!

Thank you Laura

I guess my invitation got lost in the mail.
-
I am very happy for you two.
-
Congratulations to DR Ben and his ever-lovin' Anthony!
-
Oh DR BEN!!! That is fantastic!!!
I am so happy for you and Anthony!!!!
Best Wishes!!! And thanks so much for sharing the announcement and photos!!!
Your choice of garb is inspired!!!
-
I thought this would be the best way to make the announcement since it would reach everyone and I don't have addresses for everyone. Asking for addresses when you're trying to keep something low-key is awkward.
It was a very small (but lovely) ceremony at the City Clerk's office. Anthony's parents were there along with our witness, Alfred, and a dear friend of mine from college (we've know each other for 35 years) and one of Anthony's uncles and one of his cousins. We went to lunch after at our favorite restaurant. It was a perfect day and it could not have gone better.
Yes, Jack, we thought the attire should be stylish but simple. No tuxes but not jeans and a t-shirt!
-
Golly, I wish you had mentioned it at the time. We would have all partied with you in spirit that day.
-
It sounds like my ceremony. Just the two of us, our mothers as witnesses. Then all four of us went on a honeymoon.
-
So, DR Ben, I guess this means you're home from Minnesota?
-
I believe he's home from Minnesota, and on
Page Four.
-
CONGRATULATIONS TO NEWLYWEDS BEN AND ANTHONY!! ;D
-
We're off to the Y - bye for now!
-
Yes, we are home.
We were busy before the ceremony and then we were going away after (it was kind of a honeymoon since we were in the motel by ourselves when we weren't with family) that I decided to wait until we got back to make the announcement.
They don't know at my office either. I'm making the "reveal" tomorrow.
-
We can celebrate again with your workmates!

I don't consider bike riding risky at all. But if you don't feel safe then it's better to just use an exercise bike. This might be a dumb question but why would your friend drive a bike fast down a hill? That sounds incredibly dangerous. I hope that she will be okay.
-
Amy should be released from the hospital soon. Apparently her broken jaw will not require surgery, nor will her knee. She and her husband are teachers, so at least they have the summer off...
That's good news. And that is great that she can recuperate. Is school over where they are already? HEre school ends on June 22nd.
-
Off to therapy.
~~~Vibes!!~~~

That bike that DR George posted looks awesome. But there are actually regular bikes that are simliar to that. But have 3 wheels. They are for adults who might not have great balance. But you still get to ride around. And they are very difficult to fall off of. My aunt has one of those.

No, I'll just take a bath tonight and let him bitch about the water pouring everywhere. The problem isn't his; it's the damned plumber setting a date and making sure the lady below me is in. I thought it was set for today.

Made dinner tonight with the other two men here. We went off to the markets while the women shopped. Started with a Caprese salad made with fresh mozzarella and burrata as well as basil, olive oil and balsamico. We also toasted some rosemary bread with spice olive oil to go with it.
Second course: roasted chicken with rosemary and sage from the garden under the skin, a five cheese macaroni and cheese with garlic-toasted bread crumbs on top, and sauteed zucchini.
The dessert was cheeses with chocolate, honey, nuts and fresh strawberries.
And of course there were wines and my new fixation, Cynar, which is a bitter liqueur you mix with orange, lemon, peach soda, you name it. Plus, some grappa and other stuff I didn't get into.
-
That's about all the news from here, other than it rained today. Yet we still had an amazing sunset. Don't know yet if it came out on my camera. Imagine looking out in the rain over a far mountain peak and seeing a small strip of yellow in the middle in which the sun was setting while the sky on top was gray to black.
-
I've just been so lazy today, but it's a needed kind of day off, since I worked all weekend. I've done a few things, but that's about it.

..or is that, 'more then bad enough'?
Oh, I just hate then and than.

I have some from all of those, but most probably have not watched them all yet.
-
Hmmm...first foreign language movie...the two earliest that I recall seeing are the Czech film VOYAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE and the Japanese film KING KONG ESCAPES. Both were dubbed, and I was probably in about 2nd grade when I saw each of them.
I don't think I saw a subtitled film until I was in Jr High, and it was something shown on the local PBS station. Might have been the Polish film KNIFE IN THE WATER or the German film M.

CONGRATULATIONS, BEN AND ANTHONY!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
-
Funny, yesterday when I was wishing travel vibes to DR Ben and "DP" Anthony, I was wondering to myself if you guys were going to get married since you live in my progressive home state (don't ask about my current state of residence)!
-
It sounds like my ceremony. Just the two of us, our mothers as witnesses. Then all four of us went on a honeymoon.
LOL!
-
WELCOME BACK
JANE and KEITH
-
Not to be repetitive, but Welcome Back, Jane and Keith!
-
I believe I have caught up with all the congratulations for our anniversary & Bryan's new status.
LOL DR elmore, not once did I say "My son the doctor". I did smile a lot and occasionally call him doctor, but then did just about everyone he knew. It was so cute watching him smile & blush each time.
Our anniversary really took second fiddle to the occasion. In fact half way through the commencement ceremony I leaned over to Keith and said "Happy Anniversary" He kind of mumbled, "oh right" and we both laughed.
-
Thank you DR's Arnold & Kevin.
-
CONGRATS TO BEN AND ANT!!!!!! You guys are one of my favorite couples, and I am so happy for you
-
VIBES TO AMY~~~~~~~~

DR Ben you both look incredibly happy in the photos. I'm very excited for you both.
Yes, those are great photos. Congrats!

I think this may be Larry's bike

Is anyone watching the Jubilee?
-
So, if Bryan decided to post at HHW we would have to call him DR Dr. Bryan?
-
This was taken shortly after the ceremony.

Is anyone watching the Jubilee?
Is it shown on BBC? I can't find the damn channel.

You bet! ;)

Jane, you must have a portrait up in the attic, becuase you look younger every day.
-
Only when I'm glowing DR TCB, it takes years off. :)
-
During the ceremony they put the hood on Bryan and declared him and doctor and then handed him his diploma. The hood is more impressive from the back.
-
I have an attic. I wonder if it's too late to get a portrait done.
-
Bryan didn't like the hat and it was the only part he got to keep. When he turned it in a woman next to him wanted to at least keep her hood. The person collecting the robe & hood said no.

I wonder how much they cost...I'm sure that you could buy him one for himself.
And those were great pictures, Jane!
-
Thank you DR George. The faculty was on the stage during the ceremony and they each wore the robe & hood from their school. If he ever becomes faculty or does anything official where he needs to wear his robe and hood he will have to purchase it.
Kate, Bryan's DW, was telling us she wanted to go to Cambridge because they had beautiful robes & hoods. I think she said they were purple. I don't know what color she will have once she gets her PhD at Northwestern. It was nice of her to give up the pretty robe to be close to Bryan ;)

Here's another picture. It's Anthony and me cutting the cake, which was given to us by his cousin. Anthony was going to get a cake from Food Emporium (a local grocery store) and Renee said NO, NO, NO! She got the cake from a place in Brooklyn called
Betty Bakery (http://www.bettybakery.com/)
It was a wonderful cake full of chocolate, cream and wrapped in fondant.
-
Anthony read from Frog and Toad at the ceremony which is why the two figures are there with the cake.
-
This is what he read

I wasn't watching it when I posted this. Mom said Dad was watching it all day, just wondered if anyone had been watching
-
Wonderful pics, DR Jane!

Great quote from Frog and Toad.
Wonderful pix, Jane.

Congrats to the newlyweds!

Back from a very fun dinner and then the retirement event for an LACC teacher, which was nice.

I was driving on the freeway and thinking how great it was that I'd be home by 9:50 when I heard a horrifying sound and the car started to swerve - I realized instantly a tire had blown - the right rear - but I was very quick-thinking, took control and thankfully I'd already passed most of the cars so there was no one around me. I was all the way to the left, so I made my way over to the extreme right lane right near the Forest Lawn off-ramp - there was something too off-putting and creepy about that off-ramp, so I bumped along another half-mile to the Buena Vista off-ramp, got off and pulled over at Riverside and Buena Vista. Called the AAA and I must say they got the assistance to me in ten minutes. He put on the baby tire - there was almost no tire left, but thankfully the rim was fine. Then I came home. First thing in the morning I'll go to my neighborhood Firestone tire dealer and get a new tire.

Yikes! Good thing that you were able to get off the road easily. This happened to me quite a while ago...but when I went to get a new tire, they told me that I had to get two. The wear on the treads needed to be even on the front pair of tires and the back pair of tires.
