Great photos from DR JOHN G yesterday.
Congrats to DR BEN on his lottery winnings...ALL of the trips sound like fun....
An explanation of why I've not been posting, and it's because I find it hard to not post about personal matters when this has been suhc an experience, but I hope overall it can turn into a positive understanding of what people can be that i can use in my writing as well, a better understanding of the pettiness of people and how they can opt to turn someone who up to a certain point had only a positive profile into a villain if they so choose:
One of the people (a certain Mr. Jonathan Frank) who I'm fairly sure is a "guest" reading this site has been trying to get one of my professional licenses taken away, and I've been confused about some of the claims he's been making about things he says I've claimed about him -as they seem not to have anything to do with anything relating to him in particular, but are things I've actually said about other people from that old "Stalkin Broadway" where Jonathan had many friends. But I'm told by the professional organiziation that i MUST take any such allegation seriously just because somebody in the public chooses to send it - if I ignore it, whatever the reason, it will be automatically found against me - but he does seem o be taking anything I've aleged against anyone on that "Staklin" site and making believe I alleged it against him personally.

This would be a good place to use Constance Ford's famous epithet....but since this is a family site....I shall refrain from doing so.
No snow yet.....but it is coming......soon.
So sorry DR FJL. Keep a positive attitude. Like some people on this site say "karma is a bitch" (for the other person).
Hopefully it will all work out for you. I do not get why someone would want to hurt someone else. Have you found out why he is doing this?

Is there something else going on besides the big Beyonce concert tonight?
And the word of the day is: REDOLENT!
DR TCB congrats on your new LCD TV!
DougR, who are the two producers?
Nice evening plan DR ELMORE.

Hello All!
The latest edition of the Broadway Radio Show is up on this here website for your listening pleasure. This time we are featuring selections from the newly released Broadway revival cast recording of The Mystery of Edwin Drood starring Chita Rivera, Jim Norton, Will Chase, Stephanie Block, Jessie Mueller, Betsy Wolfe, etc. Personally, I love this show and think Rupert Holmes' score is terrific fun! Take and listen and enjoy.
DONALD
Right now, I'm watching "Cash Cab." I love this show...and have absolutely no interest in either the Superbowl OR the commercials shown during said Superbowl.
;)

I have just paused "Cash Cab" so that I can watch this!
I don't think I'm going to try to get tickets to any other shows this trip. I may check out a museum or some place I haven't been before.
Today I was cleaning and looked at the filter in the humidifier...OMG I'm surprised I don't have some strange disease from the strange things growing on it.
Speaking of tallying, and elmore was,
Here's my YouTube "Talley's Folly" parody-salute with tribute to Danny Burstein's roles going from married to Sally to courting Sally and from FOLLIES to FOLLY - i love all the wordplay involved! - there had to be a mash-up, didn't there?

I'm a little bit relieved to hear that AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND leaves even the likes of MR BK a little cold. Haven't seen it performed, but I've put the album on a couple of times over the years, and couldn't get into it.
Apparently we've got a nest of them - because I'm actually seeing them -
I went shopping for my trip. My nephew is getting married on Grand Cayman. It's part of a cruise leaving Saturday from Miami. This will be my first cruise!
Just checked the living room - none for now - do they not come out if it's dark?
Wait a minute. A while ago we had people who had never seen CHINATOWN. Now we have people who've never seen THE SHINING? :o.
How does that even happen? :). :)
But today's big horror is - TERMITES. Apparently we've got a nest of them - because I'm actually seeing them - it's terrible. I've killed about thirty of them (they're docile) but every time I walk back in the living room (that's the only room they seem to be in) there are a few more to kill). I've called a termite place that uses that orange spray (you don't have to vacate) but obviously they're not there on Sunday so I won't hear until morning.
I am not really familiar with The Shining either.
Wait a minute. A while ago we had people who had never seen CHINATOWN. Now we have people who've never seen THE SHINING? :o.I can't speak for DR Jane but most of BK's references are before my time.

And some people have never read "The Mill on the Floss," either. Go figure.Wait a minute. A while ago we had people who had never seen CHINATOWN. Now we have people who've never seen THE SHINING? :o.

Just not my cup of tea. I saw CHINATOWN when it was first released.

You think The Shining, a classic film and one of Stephen King's most popular books is before your time???
So this is pretty cool...I was watching one of the local (Seattle) news broadcasts a little earlier and they were doing a segment on a local restaurant that put up a sign that they were charging 1.5% surcharge because of Seattle's new required sick leave law. They showed about four seconds of a customer who it turns out was someone I went to Western Washington University with! Her name is Dana and we were in choir and several classes together and she still looks great! She went on to become a professional singer and she's (still) very good! HERE (http://www.northwestartists.org/dj.htm) is a link to a head shot, bio and audio clip! Pretty cool, huh? :D

My guess is that you'd like the Kubrick film of The Shining very much. The book, for me, is Stephen King's best.
I just read that moderate drinking is good for ones bones. I'm now drinking a wee bit of scotch (Dalwhinnie).THat's happiness in a glass.

The only Stephen King movies I've seen are GREEN MILE, STAND BY ME, and MISERY. I liked these very much.
There were a couple of made for tv movies I could have done without.
No DR VIXMOM Miss Jackie Joseph-Lawrence wasn't in ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN.....but she was Audrey in the original LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Roger Corman film....and spent a couple of years on the Doris Day Show.
Jackie and Ken were divorced in 1976 - and she was one of the founders of the LADIES CLUB - about Show Business wives who get dumped after many years of marriage. She remarried in 2003 - I don't think Ken has remarried.....but I am not sure how friendly they are with each other.

The musical "Once" is truly stunning!
Just checked the living room - none for now - do they not come out if it's dark?
Just leaf-blew the entire driveway.
Amazing. This is the kind of winter I can live with. What's this, the fourth storm in a row I've been able to clear with the blower? S'wonderful.
I had to pause my video viewing to look up THE SHINING. Reading about it still didn't explain what the boy was doing which I suspect should have made me laugh. I enjoyed the music.

They're usually in the walls eating wood and dry wall
Good morning, all!
Yesterday the new biography of Benjamin Britten by Paul Kildea arrived from England and I stayed up late reading it.
Speaking of the Mystery of Edwin Drood.....I will be attending on Friday Feb 22. It's going to be a short trip. I should arrive around noon on Thursday and will leave Sat am. I say should arrive because I'm flying from Sioux City and that flight to Chicage gets cancelled fairly often.
Right now, I'm watching "Cash Cab." I love this show...and have absolutely no interest in either the Superbowl OR the commercials shown during said Superbowl.

Positive vibes to DR FJL!
Here's hoping you can return to us, sooner, rather than later.

It is quite wonderful, I am sure you will love it . I hope you have an opportunity to meet with Rupert on your short trip to town
I wish you were stating a little longer so I could meet you and take you to dinner

That's why I'm waiting on listening to Disc Two until I have time to concentrate on all those endings. I had them on the cassette at one point in time, but that tape is long gone.Just got the new recording of "Drood." First disc is a lot of fun.
I got it too, but I decided to wait until after I see the show to listen to it. I usually don't do it that way, but I don't want it to influence my vote since all the optional ending songs are on the new CD

Not sure if he'll have time this trip. He's working on several projects at the moment and didn't know if he'd be available, so I may or may not see him. I have never seen the Mystery of Edwin Drood, so that's why I'm making the trip. I'm still not totally comfortable with leaving the cats....the last sitter will care for the house and Ricky and Boo...Callie will be boarded. If it works out ok, I'll probably take a longer trip in the future
But today's big horror is - TERMITES. Apparently we've got a nest of them - because I'm actually seeing them - it's terrible. I've killed about thirty of them (they're docile) but every time I walk back in the living room (that's the only room they seem to be in) there are a few more to kill).

I just want the stupid game to be OVER and now it's going to go on even longer?
The Shining is more creepy than scary - that's why fans of the book hated the Kubrick film when it came out. They've come around to it since, though, but it's a film filled with several iconic moments, all of which are in our version. While Jennifer may have been a bit young when The Shining originally came out, it's not like the book has been out of print or the film unavailable - it's a VERY popular movie.
Yes. I am not a film buff and Stephen King is not my cup of tea.Wait a minute. A while ago we had people who had never seen CHINATOWN. Now we have people who've never seen THE SHINING? :o.I can't speak for DR Jane but most of BK's references are before my time.
