Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the best notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently at the theater seeing The Best Cow.

I just got locked out of yesterday's topic
So now Chas will never hear the story about how I came to join HHW completely by accident
but thanks to that chance accident I have met some of the dearest people who have been a great comfort and support to me through some very tough periods; I love you all!! Thank you, BK, for letting me in!!!

Since the Vixter is working tomorrow from 11am until 9 PM we took Vixdad out for his Father's Day's treat tonight - he wanted to see Prometheus so we took him to the 3D showing
Vixdad and the Vixter gave it mixed reviews... after a busy day all day out in the sun and a busy week with very little sleep I fell asleep about 20 minutes in and only woke up when the credits starting rolling (shhhh don't tell Vixdad)

Yesterday was my mom's 70th birthday! There was a party/barbecue at my parents' house (which I thought would just be the family), but several of their friends from around the state showed up! More than a dozen people were there and a great time was had by all. My mom loves the Hanging Garden Art Baskets (https://therainforestsite.greatergood.com/store/trs/item/48412/hanging-garden-art-basket?source=10-1143772541-1) that I got her for Mother's Day so much that she insisted that I get her some for her birthday, which I did. Everyone else loves them, too. A couple of people asked where I got them and I said that I'd let them know (I didn't have access to a computer this afternoon). They're on sale right now, BUT it turns out that they one have one kind available right now. I hope that they're able to get more in stock. :-\
-
Today, we're all getting together at my sister's house for Father's Day.
-
TCB: I like your European schedule. I'd advise booking on line for the Louvre tickets or may wait hours to get in. For London, if you like heights and a good view there's the London Eye (big wheel) by the River Thames. You should certainly try to see the Thames either from the Embankment (North side) or from the South Bank (South side of course) and possibly take a short river trip. Trafalgar Square is worth a look. What puzzles me is - what is the Millennium Plaza?
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
We're back from the Wedding. Had a wonderful time.
Now we have to get ready to leave for Long Island.
Bye!
-
Good morning, all.
Happy Father's Day!
-
Good morning!

Happy Father's Day!
-
Good morning, all! I wish my dreams had been in three acts. They were all over the place and in need of a good director. One had to with assembling liner notes - quelle surprise! - and in another a childhod friend and I were swimming in a river.
So, I a off to put the laundry into motion and then I will return here to clear up the 1798 Irish rebellion with Wolf Tone and General Hoche.
And Happy Father's Day! I still miss mine. Enormously.
-
Today is also my brother Randy's 55th birthday and I need to call him.
-
DR Jane and Ginny, I have never seen an easy water aerobics class. They are hard work! Although anyone can not go all out.

I don't watch this show, but my mom and brother-in-law do. I don't think it's right if it's true. They imply that a couple is choosing between 3 homes. If they have already purchased one of them then what is the point? Is this definitely true?

How could he not have noticed that you were sleeping? Maybe he did! Good thing you weren't snoring. :)
-
I have grabbed power naps at more movies than I'd care to remember. At least it makes the second viewing all the more satisfying.
-
Good morning! I slept like a stone last night but confess I feel better for it.
HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the HHW Dad's!!!
I don't go to the movies a lot but am thinking about taking in Prometheus. I just have a bit of a problem with that type of movie because you already know the ending.
Glad to hear that DR George's mum had a wonderful Birthday!

I fell asleep during "Oh, God" and the first Star Trek movie.

BK:
Re: No curtains.
I'm going to assume that the producers are the ones behind no curtains. It cost money to have union guys to raise and lower the curtain a few times a performance. I am sure curtains can be raised (and lowered) with a push of a button, but you'll still need to pay those union guys as if they were doing it themselves.
BTW I have nothing against unions they are important
-
I hate live performances without curtains as well and that also goes for films. I don't understand the point in wanting to avoid "presentation" - other than simply a wish to do things differently to how they used to be done.
-
Happy Father's Day!

I very much enjoyed MR BK's thoughts on THE BEST MAN.
I also liked reading all of the DR's stories yesterday.....so I must have been around these parts probably in late 2001 or 2002....I don't remember.

I'm up and I shall soon be on my way to a rehearsal.
-
Happy father's day to one and to all fathers
-
After reading Ben Brantley's review of Long Day's Journey Into Night in London, I must call my parents this Father's day and thank them for being rather pleasant as parents during my and my brother's formative years, almost (at least as far as I recall) Father and Mother Know Best and Leave It to Beaver-ish. Maybe it meant - assuming there were even any dramatic talent to do it :) - I didn't have subject matter to create the great angst-ridden American play, but so be it. :)
-
The laundry is finished, as is the 1798 rebellion. Now I am working on the Restoration of EILEEN. I feel like a plastic surgeon.
-
Nice JUBILEE reviews from yesterday DR ELMORE.
Rehearsal & performance vibes for MR BK & Co.

We haven't seen any Toby and Dylan photos for awhile......

I thought the laws of New York required a fire curtain, that coulld only be raised when the show was ready to start. I guess I am out touch with Broadway theaters. Next thing I know, you will be telling me that they no longer use ghost lights.

Father's Day greetings! We are back pretty early from Lima, where there was a small crowd for church and no assistant for Fr. Richard. He got to choose our lunch place and, of course, he chose Kewpee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kewpee). He likes a burger with cheese and olives :P

You need a day off when you have nothing to do for the entire day, except eat, nap, and listen to music.

Now that I have a new fridge/freezer, I realise that I need to replace my shabby old electric cooker, so I've ordered a new one for delivery tomorrow. And...yes...it's another HOTPOINT.

The weather is definitel improving. Warm and sunny today.

DR Elmore, congratulations on the London success for JUBILEE!

I've been recording the music only track from the DVD of CAMELOT onto my computer. I've been meaning to do it for some time so that I can burn a CD-R. Now I need to figure how to delete all the silent passages before burning it to disc.

I guess it doesn't bother me at all. It's not a game show. I like to watch to see the different houses in the different markets. I really don't care which one they pick. It's fun to guess, but it really doesn't matter.

BK, thanks so much for the report on THE BEST MAN. If Richard and I had been in New York longer, we would have tried to see it.

Back from rehearsal, which went pretty well - there's just no time to work on details and hopefully when she's in LA that's what we'll spend our time dealing with. But it's running smoothly and the performance details will come in time. Bass player was an hour late and had no bass. He came in from Washington on the train and they wouldn't let him bring the bass on. But he sat and made notes and has done the show, so we'll run what we need to at the sound check.

Then we had a nice lunch at the Red something Grill - Red Eye? It's a fish place, so I had them make me a platter of lobster, crab, and shrimp and cocktail sauce. It was very fresh and good. But there was this mini-creature on the plate for decoration and the waitress, who was funny, asked if I'd like it removed. I picked it up, remarked that it looked like some Bert I. Gordon creature and handed it to her. As she moved it it made a little green poop on a plate. It was howlingly amusing. For dessert, it was a bucket of mousse and a bucket of whipped cream. This they ladle onto a plate until you say stop. I only allowed a medium portion of both, and ate about half of it, but boy was it good. Here's the proof:

I dozed off for about forty minutes.

She proabably could have fit into my enormous purse which I had the good sense to have in front of my enormous...

Thank you DR Vixmom-wish you could have joined us.

Was it still alive? I usually smash them with rocks. Although I probably wouldn't do that in a restaurant.
AH!!! DR Sandra's quote is beginning to have context!

That's the best definition of etiquette I've seen in ages. ;D
Well, of course you have to use the RIGHT rock, one should never EVER use a mussel rock when smashing crawdads and vice versa

Made an herb-crusted chuck roast for dinner with celery, cabbage, carrots and daikon roasted at the bottom, a salad with herbs from the garden and a finely aged bottle of red. Cherries for dessert.
I made Vixdad and My Dad get in my car and drove them to a restaurant where I paid for them to eat dinner

I like the way you think.

Watching a bad bootleg of Brett Barrett in "Annie Get Your Gun" with somebody named Reba something in it, too. Too bad the closeups are washed out. Still, the vocals are good. Excellent, in fact.

I tend to use rounded river rocks. I have been known to stomp them with my boots as well. Another thing I probably wouldn't do in a restaurant.

I just read this headline:
"Plague Confirmed in Oregon Man Bitten by Stray Cat"
The story states the man was bitten while trying to take a dead rodent out of the cat's mouth. It didn't explain WHY he was doing that.

I read that yesterday. Who knows why anybody does anything. Scary, scary story.

Loved all of the photos today.

Word on the street was that Reba was 100% better than Bernadette. Shocking, isn't it? <sarcasm>

Reba was wonderful as AO. She should have been in the show from the beginning.

I like descriptions of all the wonderful things you cook! Good thing for you you live so are away or I would be showing up unannounced at dinner time EVERY day! I bet you and FJL's DP would get along well - he is a fantastic cook (besides being a fantastic songwriter!)

Barrett is also better vocally than Tom Wopat. They both make it a real pleasure to listen to, even if the video isn't great.

I'm glad for your sake that you can't drop by, either. You'd always be welcome, but I never know when I'm going to be home, so you might have to wait awhile. And it can get hot on the stoop.

well it is getting on to late so good night all!

We are back from dinner at The Claim Jumper. They screwed up our reservation, brought several wrong things that we didn't order, and were incredibly slow to boot. However the manager came over and apologized and they threw in a free pizza, so I'm relatively satisfied.

Glad to hear that DR George's mum had a wonderful Birthday!
Thanks, Danise! :D

Today, we went to my sister's house for brunch (vegan waffles and "sausage" and real chicken eggs, for those who wanted...my dad wanted). We got him two, count 'em TWO gift cards for Barnes and Noble. One for actual books and one for the coffee shop...although he knows that both cards can be used purchases from either store. :)
-
I then came home and took a nap. I've also been watching some TV and am waiting for the new summer season of "Falling Skies" to start. The first two episodes will be broadcast one right after the other.
-
I also am downloading the digital copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" that I bought a couple of months ago. I found the Blu-ray/DVD combo and forgot that it included a digital copy. I didn't want the ability to download to expire.

And now, back to Page 1 to ketchup on all the posts.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!
DITTO!!
Your father's name is Ditto?? :-)
Well, if he can call my sister, "Happy" (the name of my parents' cat), then I can call him Ditto.
:D

Received this charming update from Zach via text:
Hey, Dad, I'm not dead.
Nice to know.

Then we had a nice lunch at the Red something Grill - Red Eye? It's a fish place, so I had them make me a platter of lobster, crab, and shrimp and cocktail sauce. It was very fresh and good. But there was this mini-creature on the plate for decoration and the waitress, who was funny, asked if I'd like it removed. I picked it up, remarked that it looked like some Bert I. Gordon creature and handed it to her. As she moved it it made a little green poop on a plate. It was howlingly amusing. For dessert, it was a bucket of mousse and a bucket of whipped cream. This they ladle onto a plate until you say stop. I only allowed a medium portion of both, and ate about half of it, but boy was it good. Here's the proof:

Wow...a bucket of mousse AND whipped cream?? Sounds absolutely yummy!

Dinner was good. I'm tired from doing basically nothing but the normal Sunday morning church thing. Ugh

Back from a delightful cabaret evening with MR BK and the East Coast Singer.
At table were DR Elmore, former DR Producer Julie, DR yrs truly, along with actor/singers Milla (sp?) and Crista Moore. It was especially enjoyable being my first ever Lanny Meyers show, not to mention my first live BK event. Thanks for the opportunity, and may there be many more.

That's great, ChasSmith! Someday, I hope to make it to NYC and visit with the gang!
