Well, you've read the notes, the notes lacked a title and yet had a title, and now it is time for you to post until the untitled cows come home.

Friday morning greetings!  Thank you, all, for the travel vibes, which have worked beautifully so far.  We took the Heathrow Express from Paddington and have checked in, exchanged our currency, and cleared security.  We are waiting at our gate and will board in about half an hour.

Ask me how much I'm looking forward to flying with this head cold...

Have a good flight Ginny. It's started snowing where I am so you're getting away just in time! I expect there will be a lot of flight cancellations later in the day. Vibes for head cold to go away!!

This long weekend will probably be a Waiting for God marathon. We don't have Season 4 because it's out of the library but last night we watched Season 1 and we will probably watch Seasons 2 and 3 this weekend. Perhaps by then Season 4 will be back and then later in the month we can watch Seasons 4 and 5 (the final season). Then it's on the One Foot in the Grave. They have all 6 seasons at the NY Public Library.

We have also been watching

The Grand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_%28TV_series%29)

on Acorn TV. It's a Brit TV drama from 1997.

On Wednesday I'm seeing Lincoln for free with a friend from SAG and on Tuesday the 29th I'm seeing the stage version of

Cinderella (http://www.cinderellaonbroadway.com/)

Good morning, all! I managed to drag myself out of bed at 7:00am! This is because I am being visited at 9:00 by my HMO's visiting nurse. The company is recommendina visit once a year, whether or not I need it.

I spent all day yesterday believing it was Friday the 18th, and npw that the day is actually here, I do not know what to do with it! Well, I actually do: I've got work at Toyland and a meeting at 3:00 with the wonderful singer/actor Ben Davis who survived Kenneth Branagh's magical MAGIC FLUTE and Ted Sperling's KNICKERBOCKER HOLIDAY.

I am trying to wrap my head around the concept (and the execution) of a Cocktail Conference.
Imagine being in my head the morning after, my friend.

Anyway, it's a big old fundraiser for four days in which liquor flows freely. Last night, the group took over the Majestic Theater and had several dozen cocktail stations throughout featuring all sorts of complex and lively libations. As I promised Matthew last night, I will post a few recipes later.

Tonight, we go on river boat cruises through the River Walk area with more libations, followed by an after-hours party with more libations. That goes until 2 a.m.

During the days, which I can attend today because of work, there are bartender competitions with highly coveted prizes for this hand-crafted cocktail world, which is its own subgroup. Also, there are seminars on everything from ice to classic gin cocktails.

Phyllis Hogan, Visiting Nurse will be the title of my next radio serial.

Early in December, I ordered Volumes 1 & 2 of the Mary Perkins, On Stage comic strip collection.  I've heard a lot of high praise about this strip (maybe I heard about it right here at this website)  and I've been looking forward to reading it.  Unfortunately, Volume 1 sold out of its print-run and I have to wait until they do another printing.

I've done seven pages so far - very happy.  Four more later, and if I do another two before the Staitmans get here, I'll only have a couple to do later to finish the chapter I'm on.  This was a hard chapter, because I have a tiny respite from all she's  been doing.  I tend to do this in every book but I never remember that I've done it.  I figure that before we go into hyperdrive on the last four chapters, a tiny respite is welcome.

Last night I started a British TV series called INJUSTICE. It's written by Anthony Horowitz. Given how brilliant FOYLES' WAR was, I'll gladly watch anything by him. I'm not in love with it, but I've only watched the first episode.

The adaptation of Minette Walters' first novel, THE ICE HOUSE, FINALLY went to DVD about two months  ago. I've been watching that for the fifth (?) time. (Had it on tape.) I still think it's brilliant. It was the first time I'd seen Daniel Craig and, even after so many viewings, I still think it's an excellent performance. A really haunting story, too.

The lady in the NJ Beth Bath and Beyond yesterday was stabbed 24 times by a young mental case who should have been locked up: in December he burned to death a cat in a pet carrying case, I suppose they'll plead him insane, but I hope he's pt away for a long time.  The lady is in serious condition and her baby was unharmed.

:o Holy crap!  Hopefully he will be removed from society for good!

(Late) travel vibes to DR GINNY and DS RICHARD. (I was thinking of you earlier. Does that count?)

Head-cold-go-away vibes to the same!

Belated Happy Anniversary also to the same!

They must have been held up. They should be home by now.

I think their plane, as well as everyone else's, was severely delayed departing London. There were also hundreds of cancellations - and it' s still snowing!

I am trying to wrap my head around the concept (and the execution) of a Cocktail Conference.
Imagine being in my head the morning after, my friend.

Anyway, it's a big old fundraiser for four days in which liquor flows freely. Last night, the group took over the Majestic Theater and had several dozen cocktail stations throughout featuring all sorts of complex and lively libations. As I promised Matthew last night, I will post a few recipes later.

Tonight, we go on river boat cruises through the River Walk area with more libations, followed by an after-hours party with more libations. That goes until 2 a.m.

During the days, which I can attend today because of work, there are bartender competitions with highly coveted prizes for this hand-crafted cocktail world, which is its own subgroup. Also, there are seminars on everything from ice to classic gin cocktails.

And attendance at this is required by your job, right?   ;)
My second job, as it were, yes. It is work. Hard labor.  ;)

This long weekend will probably be a Waiting for God marathon. We don't have Season 4 because it's out of the library but last night we watched Season 1 and we will probably watch Seasons 2 and 3 this weekend. Perhaps by then Season 4 will be back and then later in the month we can watch Seasons 4 and 5 (the final season). Then it's on the One Foot in the Grave. They have all 6 seasons at the NY Public Library.

We have also been watching

The Grand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grand_%28TV_series%29)

on Acorn TV. It's a Brit TV drama from 1997.

On Wednesday I'm seeing Lincoln for free with a friend from SAG and on Tuesday the 29th I'm seeing the stage version of

Cinderella (http://www.cinderellaonbroadway.com/)

we love One Foot in the Grave  i have been thinking about buying the complete series for years but it is so expensive it - alas our library does not have it -   enjoy!!

Hi - I'm so annoyed with people that I'm sitting in a Starbucks and surfing the 'net and thinking about getting back to work on the musical I'm suppose to be writing.  So far, nothing.  I did confirm that I'll be going on a cruise in July with a bunch of theatre people to celebrate the marriage of two wonderful people.  Very excited, first cruise for me.

LOL - I totally get that.  Shows like Rent or Spring Awakening "speak" to our youngin's in ways we don't understand.  However, there is so much "angst" in that music that young people think that is how musical theatre should be performed.
