Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the price of travel and Jerry Vale, and now it is time for you to post until the traveling cows come home.

Re: 1967 Tony Awards.
There were a few years where the best book and best score awards were won with the Best Musical award. I believe it was separated in 1970 the year of Company. They actually separated the best score as best music and best lyrics. Sondheim won both.
There is a NY award Drama Desk (I think) that gives separate music and lyric award. Quite often they go to different people/shows

Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all!
In my last dream beofre the alarm rang, I was sitting in a car in a parking lot of some commercial building while I tried to use a remote control to change the information about a meeting on a political billboard. And I believe the car was my brother Randy's. I have bo idea what any of that means.
So, I am back to Toyland this morning. Around 11:30, I will stop by Rodgers & Hammerstein to dropoff some things to Bruce Pomahac, and the rest of the day is open.
DR Ben, I'm sorry to hear that the Forbes Museum wasn't as much fun as you had hoped. What are today's plans?
-
Good morning, all.
Oy!
Not nice to hear about the increased cost of traveling.
-
I have never seen WESTWORLD. Wasn't interested at the time, and though there have been recent times when I thought I would be interested, it and I haven't gotten together yet.
-
Larry, we are meeting a friend of Joe's who goes to NYU and this evening we are seeing Annie.
-
TOD:
I have always loved COMA, both book and film.
I remember reading THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY and liking it, but for some reason I never recall much about the film. Need to see it again. I used to like the film ANDROMEDA STRAIN but haven't seen it in years. Picked up THE CAREY TREATMENT and THE TERMINAL MAN from Warner Archive but haven't watched them yet.
He wrote the screenplay to TWISTER, and I gotta admit to loving TWISTER.
-
The mild weather isn't lasting long. the forecast is for a return to cold weather and possibly snow for the weekend.
-
And it's about time to head to Toyland. I will check in from there.
-
So everyone, everywhere, is blessed with the winter that won't end. Not really, but we got spoiled the last couple of years with the end of February being pretty much the last of it, and somehow you could just tell that that was it. I tried to "tell" the same a few days ago. Fie.
Snowing now. We either got a very slight dusting in the middle of the night, or it just started within the past hour.

TOD
Disclosure
The Anromeda Strain
Westworld

Did I really say "Fie" up there? Does anyone still say "Fie"?

Good morning, all.
Panama Hattie on stage? Sounds wonderful. Fun, fun Cole Porter score with three or four great songs: I Still Got My Health, I'm Throwing a Ball Tonight, Make It Another Old Fashioned Please and Who Would Have Dreamed? Wish there were a recording of the complete score.

TOD: Coma

Here it is Thursday. Pithy, huh?

Morning.
Ginny, great picture, beautiful picture of your yard and snow.
No snow for me, just and and surf.

Hi Vixmom,
I'll walk to your house. ;D
-
Hi Jane.
I'll walk with the dog.
-
Dear George.
Scary. I hope they get the guy.
-
Listened to Love Is A Many Splendored Thing / The Seven Year itch last night.
;D ;D

Off to work.
Mega vibes everyone.
Happy Thursday.

A message for the Big Speakers:
I forgot to mention that yesterday, March 6, was the birthday of Miss Allison Hayes.
I am sure that many of our female DR's dress like this to post here on HHW.....and maybe even some of the gentlemen. ;D

Be careful for what you wish! You might get it with a tiny orchestration like the Vernon Duke "Sweet Bye and Bye."

DR ELMORE the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream reveals that your feel a portion of your career is outside your control, although you have the responsibility for the outcome. It also indicates that you are annoyed at the antics of some who are in power who do not have the knowledge to rule.

And greetings from Toyland! On my walk to the subway, there were scattered snow flurries but nothing menacing or fun.

I used to travel frequently in my job - so my travel arrangements were always made for me. I sort of miss the travel - but that's all right.

Tonight is the fraternity Dance Lessons! I have been told that it will be held in the ballroom of the Union Building, and that there will be about 100 people present!
That's about 200 left feet.

Today we are going to the Post Office so that Joe can see how New Yorkers live. After that we will head to Grand Central to see the 100th Anniversary exhibit. After that Joe will meet his NYU friend for late lunch/early dinner and then we go to see Annie. It's a full day.
We are skipping the lunch w/Joe's friend.

That's odd it doesn't open for you.
They charged him twice for his stay which left his account overdrawn & no access to money.
"NO ONE seems to be able to tell me where my money is or how I'm supposed to get it back."
I didn't say that the link would not open for me. I said that i could not open the link now (meaning i was on my kindle).
Thanks for explaining. I would think that it would be fairly easy for him to prove that he was charged twice. It sounds like he did not pay by credit card (which would have been much easier for him as then he could simply have called his credit card company and they would have reversed the 2nd charge).

DR JRand, I have never seen that shot of Allison! But I do love it!

Yes DR JOHN G - that is what I HOPE.

DR JohnG, you have great taste in food!

Hello and I'm awake

DD #3 to the groomer today. Going to get blood drawn for tests. Chores at home. The spider show in the afternoon and the helicopter in the evening.
And these are the days of our lives

I know not of the topic o' the day

Good mornin' DR Matthew.

Getting home from work yesterday was rather difficult. The railroad built the line going directly through downtown Salem more than a century ago...over the years this has caused any number of deadly accidents, FYI....anyway, just at 5 oclock a freight train speeds through and screeches to a halt. Don't know if it hit someone or what, but that is ususally the case.
So, you have all these business people needing to get from their offices to their cars/bus stops (or in my case, my apartment) but there is a mile long train in the way with no way to get around it.
On the corner that I was at, a group of us waited and waited and waited for over 20 minutes. Finally we could tell that the train was not going anywhere soon so we all climbed over it. It was quite a sight. Women in high heels and dresses and men in suits one by one climbing atop this flatbed car and on over to the other side.
Unfortunately, the people in automobiles did not have this option and traffice was tied up pretty good and for quite awhile.
-
DR JohnG, you have great taste in food!
Thank you. For Easter, we're doing porchetta, and Italian dish in which you take the pork roast and wrap and entire sheet of pork belly around it, so the fat melts and permeates the roast with its flavor. It's a happy thing.

I'll chip in if it means Jrand will come to New York. Can we start a Kickstarter campaign for this?

The Panama Hattie I'm seeing on Saturday will definitely be just a piano.

I'm up and trying to get everything done before the carpenter gets here.

Had such a fun dream - I was in NY in 1967 - me now - somehow back there. First thing I did was walk into Joe Allen - full up, and so smoky I could barely breathe - everyone smoking - it was funny. I said, "Enjoy it now - you'll either be dead or unable to do it in about thirty years."

Thursday afternoon greetings! I've been out and about to the
vampire's blood lab, post office, bank, Target, book sale site, Meijer, and Kroger - whew! When I got home, Richard was, and still is, on the phone with AppleCare trying to resolve the connectivity problems we've been having.
I'm ready for lunch!

Just got word that my ex-wife's mom died - in her mid-90s so a nice long life. She was a very nice woman. Even though the ex and I never talk, the mom would always ask the Darling Daughter about me, and the Darling Daughter gave her the Kritzer books to read as well as the first three Hofstetter books - she was a mystery fan and especially liked the latter.
-
R.I.P. amd so blessed to have a good long life.
So glad your memories of her are good, BK!
-
Condolences to BK's daughter on the loss of her grandmother.
-
My condolences, also, BK. Glad that she continued to care about you all of these years. That is very sweet.
-
DR JRand, you would have so much fun with the NYC HHW contingent, believe me. If you ever get the chance to go...do so!
And really, DR Elmore's fire escape is pretty comfy...plus he always serves tea or coffee in the morning.
-
Condolences to BK's daughter on the loss of her grandmother.
Yes, if BK's daughter reads here or BK is sending our wishes, please send our condolences as well.

My sympathies to both you, BK, and your daughter.

Ditto!

I am back from a trip to my local post office, which I avoid as much as possible because the manager there is a complete fool and the service at the 68th street branch is so superior. So I had to wait forever, simply to pick up a package, because she's forcing the postal clerks to not only act as clerks but to step and fetch things. Hence, there were only two windows oen for the noon crowd and the line was enormous. I wish her a painful death soon.

I am waiting for the delivery men to call and let me know they are bringing my new washing and drying appliances.

Dropped the ex-wife an e-mail - she responded and said that her mom was my biggest fan to the very end - very sweet. If the timing is right and it's not a horrid drive, I'll probably go to the funeral. I went to her dad's funeral when he passed away.
-
Just ordered the region 2 DVD of the 1958 Norwegian horror film De Dødes Tjern (Lake of the Dead). I already have the Sinister Cinema DVDr of it, but I love the film so much that I feel I need to upgrade to the anamorphic version (with subtitles, of course)
Here is a short clip from the film: A group of vacationers are discussing the deaths connected with the scary lake when, much to their horror, one of their friends decides to take a dip

Still no laundry equipment, and I have to leave in an hour or so.....not sure they could get everything done in 60 minutes.

With any luck, DR JRand, you may soon find out. After all I have to pass on my Sinister Cinema copy to someone, don't I?

From DR Ben:
We had a wonderful visit with Dear Larry this afternoon. He's too kind about me <blush>
I doubt he was too kind since I can't imagine that it is possible too kind about you DR Ben.

From DR TCB:
That is because you are still a young-thing. When you get to be old like me, one story will sound really good!
LOL, and why I now prefer one story houses. Actually I was still young when I had an injury and couldn't get downstairs to the kitchen for food. ;D

It didn't make any sense that they couldn't find & easily correct the problem. Apparently twitting helped to get a reaction from them and the money has been returned to Jason. :)

Bruce, Jason didn't ask for help that was my idea. I knew how you would feel about it since he posts on FB & not here. Even before FB he was sporadic here.

Does the passenger train also stop in Salem? I wish our closet train stop wasn't Klamath Falls. If we had a local stop I would take the train to Salem & Portland.

My sibling's ex's were at my father's funeral. I'm not sure my sister was happy about it and would probably wouldn't have appreciated her ex being at her funeral-lol

TOD:
Looking at Crichton's credits I do not see any films that I could say are my favorites. In fact I have only seen two of his films, THE ANDROMODA STRAIN which I saw as a kid and did not like, and WESTWORLD which I also saw as a kid...I didn't dislike it, but it isn't anything I have longed to see again after all these years.

You were probably too young at the time for AS. While they added more action to the remake I don't think they improved it.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised you haven't seen JURASSIC PARK-lol

Re: 1967 Tony Awards.
There were a few years where the best book and best score awards were won with the Best Musical award. I believe it was separated in 1970 the year of Company. They actually separated the best score as best music and best lyrics. Sondheim won both.
There is a NY award Drama Desk (I think) that gives separate music and lyric award. Quite often they go to different people/shows
I think that they should have a "Best Song" category, like the Oscars. It would be separate from the score (music and lyrics) and can recognize a single, very good song from a more-than-likely crappy show. Just my opinion.

Scary. I hope they get the guy.
Thanks...Ethan's doing well but I haven't heard anything about the guy who tried to grab him, yet.
VIBES THEY CATCH THE GUY BEFORE HE DOES GRAB A SOMEONE!
I think the word got out and a lot of people in that area are keeping their eyes peeled.
-
And now, I must be off. We're having a training session for the executive boards of the base and supervisor's unions. I don't know what it's going to entail, but hopefully, it'll be fun.
Be back later.

But before I go...
tod
The Great Train Robbery
Westworld
The Carey Treatment based on his novel which he wrote under the name Jeffrey Hudson
I vaguely remember my sister and I watching "Westworld" and really liking it, but I can't remember it anymore...but I'll add it to my list. ;)
Andromeda Strain (the original, NOT the TV remake)
Jurassic Park (I've only seen the first one)
Twister
Westworld

PBS is showing this special on Judy Collins performing at the Metroplitan Museum. I love JudyCollins, but she's looking more and more like Miss Havisham every day!
-
That sounds horrible. I'm sure she has more warmth & personality to compensate ;)
-
I've been watching this program on Paranormal Activity on ScyFy: too noisy, and silly rather than spooky. It's like Ghost Hunters in that nothing's ever seen so they keep trying to spook you with fast cuts and noise.
-
That sounds horrible. I'm sure she has more warmth & personality to compensate ;)
Is this in reference to Judy Collins? She's a lovely lady, but her hair is now snow white and she's very pale.
-
Did I really say "Fie" up there? Does anyone still say "Fie"?
I do , just before making bread.
But I usually precede it with fee and follow it with fofum
-
Hi Vixmom,
I'll walk to your house. ;D
Sounds good! When you get here, I'll walk you home :)

A message for the Big Speakers:
I forgot to mention that yesterday, March 6, was the birthday of Miss Allison Hayes.
I am sure that many of our female DR's dress like this to post here on HHW.....and maybe even some of the gentlemen. ;D

DR FJL and DRMBARNUM - New York might happen someday.
I hope so - and I would be making the trek in to meet you!
-
I'm up and trying to get everything done before the carpenter gets here.
I read that as "carpenter ants"
-
Dropped the ex-wife an e-mail - she responded and said that her mom was my biggest fan to the very end - very sweet. If the timing is right and it's not a horrid drive, I'll probably go to the funeral. I went to her dad's funeral when he passed away.
I think that would be a lovely gesture . Please give your daughter my condolences on the loss of her grandmother
-
I shall look forward to seeing them DR MBARNUM.
I am waiting for the delivery men to call and let me know they are bringing my new washing and drying appliances.
Do we get pictures?
-
Does that girl make it out of the lake?
Have you never seen a movie before?
John G! I laughed with a mouth full of tea!!!

From DR Ben:
We had a wonderful visit with Dear Larry this afternoon. He's too kind about me <blush>
I doubt he was too kind since I can't imagine that it is possible too kind about you DR Ben.
I agree! Ben and Anthony are two of the kindest gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure to meet

DR Jane wrote:
That's odd it doesn't open for you.
They charged him twice for his stay which left his account overdrawn & no access to money.
"NO ONE seems to be able to tell me where my money is or how I'm supposed to get it back."
I didn't say that the link would not open for me. I said that i could not open the link now (meaning i was on my kindle).
Thanks for explaining. I would think that it would be fairly easy for him to prove that he was charged twice. It sounds like he did not pay by credit card (which would have been much easier for him as then he could simply have called his credit card company and they would have reversed the 2nd charge).
LOL I'm glad it was just that you were on your Kindle.
It didn't make any sense that they couldn't find & easily correct the problem. Apparently twitting helped to get a reaction from them and the money has been returned to Jason. :)
good news!
-
Was it here that someone mentioned their grandma who kept writing "LOL" thinking it meant "Lots of Love"
My Mom was doing that!

Dear George.
Scary. I hope they get the guy.

For anyone with a KINDLE who is interested.
The Hunger Games trilogy (all 3 books) is only $5.
This is a great series.
Might be for today only:

Thanks for the post! I just bought it. :D
NICE Too bad the Nook isn't doing the same - we Nook owners would have to pay $$29.00

Today we are going to the Post Office so that Joe can see how New Yorkers live. After that we will head to Grand Central to see the 100th Anniversary exhibit. After that Joe will meet his NYU friend for late lunch/early dinner and then we go to see Annie. It's a full day.
We are skipping the lunch w/Joe's friend.
How was PHANTOM? Did Joe enjoy it?
-
Just got word that my ex-wife's mom died - in her mid-90s so a nice long life. She was a very nice woman. Even though the ex and I never talk, the mom would always ask the Darling Daughter about me, and the Darling Daughter gave her the Kritzer books to read as well as the first three Hofstetter books - she was a mystery fan and especially liked the latter.
My sympathies to you, Bruce; and for your daughter and your ex.
-
Yes, Joe loved Phantom and the special back stage tour as well.
-
DR John G, thank you for the lovely Amazon review of "Eileen" I just discovered it!
-

How was "Annie"?
-
Annie was OK. I've seen better. Unfortunately, I didn't much care for Miss Katie Fineran. I have seen her many times in other things and she's wonderful but she doesn't work in Annie. Anthony Warlow, on the other hand, is wonderful.
Joe LOVED Annie.

The 100 Year Exhibit related to Grand Central Terminal is very good and they have a guided tour (20 minutes) as well, which was excellent.
The exhibit only goes through next Friday, March 15, 2013. It's in Vanderbilt Hall, which is what used to be the main waiting room of Grand Central and the tours begin at 11:30am and go every 20 minutes after that.

DR VIXMOM I bet you look every bit as lovely in that outfit as Allison does.....uh.....did.....
-
I will take photos of the new washing and drying equipment tomorrow. They were still doing the installation as I was leaving....but they look nice.....just standing there....
The Delta Upsilon brothers and their guests were most excellent students and many were eager to learn. There were indeed about one hundred people there..... MOST of the boys had partners, some did not.
I probably heard at least two dozen times: "I've never done anything like this before....I don't know anything about dancing...."
How do you get to be a freshman or sophomore in college and NOT KNOW HOW TO DANCE? Some of the young ladies were in the same boat.....
But within the hour we had at least nine couples who had become quite proficient, and another 15 couples or so who were getting there..... Everyone was trying.....so I count the evening as a success.
And they were all very well dressed....some of the boys had on jackets and ties, the girls were almost all wearing dresses....and many of them had on heels.... So it was nice to have my faith restored in youth.......much as it was when working with the kids in THE CRUCIBLE....a couple of whom were around tonight.
So....it was a blast....and my sister had a good time, too!!
I hope they ask us back..... There were lots of photos taken....so we may end up in the DePauw....we shall see.

This is Jackie Joseph's column in The Tolucan Times....and although the event she writes about took place before the Kritzerland show last weekend....there is a tie-in......

Sounds nice! When I was a youngster we used to be taught social dancing and square dancing in gym class, they no longer do this. and since the dancing that is done at clubs and parties tends to be "freestyle".....where would today's kids learn to dance?
-
And now I shall watch WEST POINT....
Probably not necessary, I hear they have armed guards.

falling asleep goodnight all

My condolences to your Darling Daughter on the loss of her grandmother. It is nice you were able to still be friendly even if from afar. Will you go to her funeral? My sibling's ex's were at my father's funeral. I'm not sure my sister was happy about it and would probably wouldn't have appreciated her ex being at her funeral-lol
I would certainly go to my ex-wife's funeral. Just to make sure that the wooden stake is actually thru her heart.

The new biography of Jane Austen by Paula Byrne arrived today. The first chapter hooked me. It will be a fun read, I think.

The Great Train Robbery
Westworld
The Carey Treatment based on his novel which he wrote under the name Jeffrey Hudson
The Great Train Robbery happened very close to us. I can take the road off of our street very close to the spot.
That could be why the train doesn't go there.

TOD:
Looking at Crichton's credits I do not see any films that I could say are my favorites. In fact I have only seen two of his films, THE ANDROMODA STRAIN which I saw as a kid and did not like, and WESTWORLD which I also saw as a kid...I didn't dislike it, but it isn't anything I have longed to see again after all these years.
Well, one day out of 365. Not bad.

Long, long day. Had a swell lunch, then the helper came and we did a Costco run, then picked up no packages and came home. I don't really know where the time went - I didn't even watch more than ten minutes of a motion picture. There were a lot of long telephonic calls. Then transfer guy came and brought me several things, one of which, the most important, I'm listening to now. Sometimes persistence pays off and I'll be talking about that in the notes. I can only say stunning music in stunning stereo and I am a very happy camper and this will instantly enter my pantheon of favorite Kritzerland releases ever.
-
My sister was in Vermont and ate lunch at Costco. She said they served different things. But she was most surprised that they did not serve fries. Here the $1.50 hot dog and drink combo is the big seller. I cannot imagine them not selling fries to go with it.

None of the Costcos I have visited has ever served fries. Of course, we aren't French.

Kathy Griffin is talking about the Jodi Arias case. She's talking about the questions that the jury have asked...she's pretty funny.
