Thank you, DRs Ben and JRand.

Here I am when I was stage managing a production of THE CEMETERY CLUB.....on the right of the picture wearing an oven mitt for some reason.

Off to work. I shall return.....sometime....I hope....

Good morning, all! I slept in an hour extra, and I have few plans for the day. The day's priority is laundry, which I'll begin shortly.
Beyond that, I am doing little today; I have an email from our record producer to read and comment on, and I have a bit of ROBERTA work.I also have to make a call to Mami University about an event next weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR. JOHN G.!
And tell everyone else to lay off the scorpions and maggots. This is YOUR special day. They're ALL YOURS.

...The City of Chicago, Illinois, that is. Not the musical, Chicago. Although, it would be fun to play Amos one day. ::)
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR JOHN G!!!!!
-
DR JRand - I hope your "Big Day" stays Big. But in a good way.
-
DR Mike - Now that's a great reason for a busy weekend.
-
And as for my weekend...
Well, this is the wrap up of my vacation, and what an amazing vacation it has been. Boston, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and now Chicago. -Or I hashtagged it: #JCSBSPSFC.
Right now, I'm waiting on UPS of all things. Someone wanted/needed to send something to me overnight, so... It's on track to be delivered by 10:00am, so while I'm waiting I'm going to take care of a few emails, and plan the rest of my weekend.
And post here on HHW, of course.
And probably take a shower.
-
What is definite this weekend is that my friend, Yosh, will be flying in from NYC later today, and tonight we will be dining at Alinea (https://content.alinearestaurant.com/html/index.html). It's going to be a quite the evening of molecular gastronomy. I haven't researched what the current offerings are, I want it all to be a surprise.
It's also part of my big Thank You to Yosh for letting me have a place to stay in NYC after my landlord told me she was selling the building and gave me the 30-day notice (and while I was out of town too). Thankfully, with the way my gigs lined up out of town, I have not needed a "full-time" apartment over the past 18-months, but Yosh very generously offered me his living room and a futon (and in a great building on the Upper East Side!) to use whenever I was back in NYC. He's truly been one of my Angels lately.
-
And then tomorrow night, we will be seeing Sunday in the Park with George (http://www.chicagoshakes.com/main.taf?p=2,76,1) at Chicago Shakespeare Theater. My friend, Brad, is the musical director, and Linda Stephens in playing the Old Lady/Blair Daniels. I'm looking forward to seeing both of them again. Oh, and Jason Danieley is playing Georges/George, and Carmen Cusack in Dot/Marie. -And I'm pretty sure I'll be a blubbering mess during both act finales. ::)
-
Hey!
What's that I see just around the corner?
Why....
Why it's...

Otherwise, I plan to hop on my bike later and get on the Lakeshore Trail. :)
And, again, I seemed to have lucked out with the weather!
-
It's pouring rain in Manhattan.
Anthony will be doing laundry later when the rain subsides.

I interviewed Josh Logan way back when, shortly after "Sunday in the Park with George" opened. He talked about how cold he found the show and then asked if I had seen it. I had, during a fairly early preview, before "Children and Art" was added, and told him how I had blubbered during the closing of both acts. We immediately went on to another topic.

Thank you, DRs Elmore, Doug R, Jose and ChasSmith.

OMG that bug food looks gross!

DR Jose I have never tried molecular gastronomy. I only watch it on tv! :)
-
Those bug pics should come with a warning! :)
-
The laundry is in the washers. I have to make my bed and read this long email from last night.
I have a very close personal relationship with the original production of "Sunday in the Park with George," and I was not very fond of the last revival and its lousy orchestration and second-rate cast.

DR Jose I have never tried molecular gastronomy. I only watch it on tv! :)
DR Jennifer - Some methods are not as far out as others, but there are some truly "scientific deconstructions" out there. And I'm pretty sure I'll be experiencing and tasting some of those tonight. :)

And that's one activity even though I may marvel at those who can actually do it, I have absolutely no interest in attempting. It's just one those activities where it seems you either do it very well, or you get majorly injured.
-
Especially if you've had a few, Jose. Although that might help my balance.
-
Good Filichia on Friday today, though I found one sentence odd: "Movie of the Month: Just 45 Minutes from Broadway, Henry Jaglom’s latest winner."
That somehow implies that Jaglom has had a winner before. Not in my book.
-
As I left the laundromat, about 60 yards from my apartment, after putting the laundry in the dryers, another sownpour began. I ran all the way back tomy apartment, but I am soaked to the skin and need to change clothes. Damn!
-
Happy Birthday DR JOHN G!!!
-
Thank you, Kerry.

Friday morning greetings! Had a fun pre-Middfest discussion of Ina Caro's Paris to the Past last night with a small crowd. Next week I'm co-leading a discussion of 2 books by Tilar Mazzeo - one about Chanel No. 5 and the other about Veuve Clicquot champagne. Looking forward to Middfest being over so I can get back to my England reading.

Well, I'm workin' on it, DR Jose! We're meeting at the public library so we can't serve alcohol. The wine manager at Dorothy Lane Market recommended a non-alcoholic alternative that I will buy next week. And I'm going to stop at Macy's to see if they have a scratch 'n' sniff sample. I may have to buy myself some parfum to feel right about asking for freebies...
-
What a dreary day.
Odd that I should say that, because I usually don't mind a chilly rainy day, but I could have done without this one. Go figure. I need to get moving and turn it into something good. You know. Make lemonade.
-
Although the temptation would be there, even I might pass on eating those critters. Just not sure if I could do it.
I hope the owl wasn't the main course.

A most happy birthday to a most wonderful Dear Reader, DR JohnG!

Last night was: MY TRUE STORY (1951) with Helen Walker and Willard Parker trying to convince the audience that they are a young couple playing a young couple caught up in a jewell heist scheme. Aldo Ray, who actually was young in this film, was also in the cast in a supporting role.

I've always found it strange when people talk/write about how cold a show they felt SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE was. I believe it was the one Sondheim show where I teared up the most while watching it.

When I was still a kid, wee had a neighborhood drug store where we always got our prescriptions filled. The pharmacist was a rather large man, who we suddenly noticed was losing weight. When my mother asked how he was doing it, (I think he lost over 100 pounds), he told her that he was eating a Swanson TV Dinner every night for dinner. He said there was a wide variety of kinds to pick from, plus when he finished with his TV dinner, there was no possibility of having seconds of thirds. It worked for him.

Aaaagh!!! Another corrupt performance edition from Ohio Light Opera, which I actually saw around 1998, with little to no documentation of their textual mutilation. Most of the OLO Victor Herberts are pretty poor: all dance music cut, sometimes songs are reassigned. I do like, even with the cuts, their RED MILL and their soprano on MLLE MODISTE is quite fine. I like a lot of their very corrupt edition of THE FORTUNE TELLER, and I'm quite fond of their CHOCOLATE SOLDIER.

Actually, DR George, the comments on the Herber Collected songs are rather uncomplimentary, and I have no idea how our EILEEN will do. Only DR JohnG gave us a nice review. Most of the negative reviews are reviewing an album we didn't record; there's no sense from the reviewers of Herbert's changing song forms, the beauty of some of the music. In 102 songs, there are some turkeys but there are some glorious melodes, some funny songs, a few moving numbers, and performances ranging from poor to brilliant. I am proud that we produced a fun and historic document.
I am aware that two of our singers showed up in pathetic form and I luckily got a chance to only record half of their material and reassign things to others, that I had to replace a singer who dragged me along for too long before I dropped him for another person, and that some folk showed up, delivered the goods and hit the songs out of the ball park. Still, I'm proud of the achievement.

T.O.D.
CD - FOLLIES (revised OBC)
DVD - CASTLE, SEASON TWO
I just saw th pilot for CASTLE on TNT. I had never seen the series. I enjoyed it.
One of our family's favorite series!
Ginny, did you ever see the series FIREFLY?
It is very different from Castle. You need to like Sci Fi to enjoy it, which we do and did.
It's funny. I am not a big fan of Sci Fi or of Westerns; and FIREFLY was both. But I loved the series.

Signing out to go to the Y with Richard and then do some errands - bye for now!
Keith kindly skipped the Y today and went for a short hike with me. It was nice.

DR Ron your lunch looks delicious.

I just saw that Anthony Warlow will be playing Daddy Warbucks in the latest revival of ANNIE that starts previews next week. I just kind of figured that John Schuck would be playng the role again. I would like to see Anthony Warlow on stage.
Thanks to a former DR, I believe I have all of Mr. Warlow's CDs.

I love Anthony Warlow! He is wonderful in these DVDs from Opera Australia. The FLEDERMAUS, set in the 1930s, is really charmng.
-
Maybe I'll watch some of these this weekend! He's also in an Opera Australia video of Gilbert & Sullivan's PATIENCE.

Why did the pictures from Pinafore and Pirates disappear? Or is that just on my screen?

Mr. Schuck is on tour in the musical version of "Grumpy Old Men" with John Rubenstein.

I really do enjoy those Herbert CDs, Elmore, including the cello and piano works. I haven't listened to the German disc of the song set as much as the other three, but I love that stuff. Maybe it's because I had a George M. Cohan album when I was a kid and all that music from the early part of the 20th century intrigues me.
I'm just saying that because I back up what I wrote on Amazon. In other words, the flattery was sincere for the product and did not stem solely from my pride in your friendship.
-
Been reading the reviews for "Enemy of the People." Made me remember the Steve McQueen version. I remember liking it as a high school student, even though it was stagebound.
I see Amazon has the DVD. I may have to order it.

It happened because after I posted them, I deleted them from my photobucket album. If this site were still letting us download, they'd be there. I won't delete a photobucket phot again!

DR George I'm glad your sister had a nice birthday.
Thanks, Jane!
Belated Birthday Wishes to DR George's sister!
Thanks, Tom!
Please correct the spelling of your name. I did.
I don't normally, but for you I did. :-*

BD: Just arrived in today's mail, the Blu ray of "This is Cinerama". Also, "The Avengers" and "Arachnophobia".
CD: "David and Bathsheba"

Damn! I seem to get everything a day later than everyone else. Hopefully, my Cinerama (and Windjammer) and David and Bathsheba will be here tomorrow.

The dark green grass is the area that was sprayed with hydroseed.
The path really looks much, much better than it does in the photo. It must be all the dirt on it.

The hydroseed looks a bit like the grass at a miniature golf course.
-
The dirt areas that are left will be planted.

Good Evening!
Well... There's nothing like biking 20 miles along the Lakeshore Trail.. Against a headwind/crosswind for most of the time... Absolutely nothing...
It was glorious!!!!!
:)
-
PAGE SE7EN!!!!!!!
-
Happy Birthday, JohnG!
-
And the views of Chicago's skyline and Navy Pier from the actual lake shore are absolutely stunning. I almost stopped and turned around at one point, but when I made I way around curve and saw the Hancock Building and The Drake in the distance I just had to keep going. -The same thing happened again as soon as I saw the Museum Campus and the Adler Planetarium.
-
It looks like they delegged some of your crickets, John.

And my copies just arrived!

YEAH!!!!

It is a wonderful show! Although I admit that I don't watch it any longer only because I had to cut my weekly TV viewing down a bit, and I wasn't about to give up MR. ED.
I was about to say that there was something very ironic about this post, but, in fact, there isn't. None at all.
::)

And now...
I need to do a bit more stretching and then get set for tonight's culinary adventure.
Laters...

EILEEN ordered!

Home after a day at work. Making BBQ chicken ranch pizza for dinner. Not quite sure how, but we'll figure it out as we go along.

Happy Birthday, DR John G!

Today our recent house guest, 3 year old Eli, asked her mother to make a peanut butter & jelly sandwich just like Keith made. Except I made it ;D
Not that Eli was all that wrong since Keith told me to make it & then sat with her while she ate it. The entire time he kept asking/telling her that was the best PB & J sandwich ever.
All weekend I enjoyed watching him with her.
-
Thank you, Laura. Thank you, Matthew.
-
Well, I must be off now. Our supervisor's union is having a meeting at 6:30 and as the treasurer, I have to be there.
So, until later!
-
DR Laura, having cooked crickets once (and only once), I can tell you that the wings are a little too sharp on the tongue, so you remove them in order to make them snackier.
TMI, right?
-
Yes-LOL

Interesting stuff in the garden tonight:

Just heard from a friend who's working on the new Terrence Malick movie that's begun filming in Austin. It's got Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and a few other people in it. Sounds like she's having fun with it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR JOHN G
-
As I left the laundromat, about 60 yards from my apartment, after putting the laundry in the dryers, another sownpour began. I ran all the way back tomy apartment, but I am soaked to the skin and need to change clothes. Damn!
Man I wish we would have a downpour....or a drop of rain for that much. My landscaper told me they dug down 8 feet and not a bit of moisture, just dust. I can't stand a drought
-
Thank you, TCB. I think the celebration will be tomorrow.
Then I hope tongiht's dinner is not too big of a disappointment!
(http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa204/dropthetacos/tvdinner.jpg)
A few years ago my mom called to invite me to a special celebration.....it was the anniversary of Swanson TV dinners! Just mom, dad, me and a tv dinner for each of us
-
Eight!
I just wanted to make sure to get over here to wish you a happy day.
I'm not sure who anybody is on the net any more. But at least I know you';re you. :)
-
Back from a really good and fun and long shoot - great stuff, about which more later.
-
Then a few of us went out to a nearby Mexican restaurant for dinner, after which I stopped at the mail place to pick up an important envelope, which, for the second week in a row, wasn't there. It had best be there tomorrow. But there was one other piece of mail and that was very disturbing but it was too late to call and find out anything - very nerve-wracking having to wait until morning.
-
I survived September....whew! This has been one of the busiest months I've had in years and years. It ended with news that we won an asylum case I've been working on for 5 years and that the government will allow an entire family to stay in the US. They were considering just deporting the mother. I was concerned about both cases so the good news was very welcome.
-
Now I am really tired... I cancelled several plans for the weekend so I can just veg out. No briefs to write, no hearings to prepare for...October will be a lot of working at the office instead of driving here there and everywhere to do hearings
-
Good grief it's going to be in the 80s all week. of course no chance of rain
-
I voted yesterday. It was the first day of early voting. In Iowa if you vote early, they notify both parties that you've voted and you get taken off of all the calling lists....they could care a less if you live or die once you've already voted. Now all I need is the mute button and I should be fine
-
I went to the City council meeting to complain about the stupid don't feed the deer or turkeys but ok to feed the squirrels and birds ordinance. They showed part of my comments on TV. I have had more people tell me that they saw that clip and they are against the ordinance than anything I've ever done. It's hilarious. People walk up on the street to say "I saw you on tv. I agree about the deer" LOL
-
Ok, it's getting cold. time to close the window.
-
Thank you, Cillaliz. And I wish you the rain we got today.
-
Thank you, FJL. You've been missed.

Happiest of Birthdays to John G

On a whim, I just watched OUTLAND which I'd never seen. Fun. Very ... 1981.
Tomorrow, an annual fall ritual -- the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, NY. This festival is about 20 years old now, and it's great fun, but it's nothing like the good ones in California. I never got to Gilroy, but even little street ones in L.A. are more fabulous. Nevertheless, there's lots of good fresh garlic to be had and it's a fun day. I will be E&T till tomorrow evening.
-
Hmmmm. Three "fun"s in the above post. I must get control of myself.

Well, earlier this evening, I went to my union's board meeting...for the last two meetings, we only had four people attend. To our amazement, we had sixteen, count 'em, SIXTEEN people show up! We actually went for about two and a half hours...and it was quite productive. We got a couple of committees started, we made some decisions and talked about what we want done and how to go about getting them done. But mostly, we talked a lot about the upcoming negotiations. Everyone came out of the meeting feeling really good about the whole thing. :D
