Ask BK:

Please describe the ham and swiss -- type of bread, mustard, anything else included, etc. 

I haven't ordered one in years, but a ham and swiss was my mainstay when, lo those many years ago, I started getting sandwiches from a small deli/grocery to take back to my room in college.  I had it on something like a kaiser roll, with mustard, with tomato and lettuce back then.  I'm not a purist when it comes to ham and swiss, so I can take it various ways.  But I wouldn't go back to the kaiser roll.  When I'm in the mood for it now, I gather up some Boar's Head rosemary & sundried tomato ham (it's subtly flavored, and is such a nice difference from plain ham), Finlandia aged imported swiss, a freshly store-baked loaf of seeded rye, and some deli mustard.  As I type this, the addition of thinly sliced tomato and a little bit of lettuce does sound rather good.

I don't know "Les Sylphides", but this looks intriguing:

Mystery of the Missing Music:  Benjamin Britten’s Lost Score for ‘Les Sylphides’ (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/28/arts/music/benjamin-brittens-lost-score-for-les-sylphides.html?ref=music&_r=0)

Perhaps I shall see if my bargain GIRL dvd's are extended versions or not....sometime today.

This evening I am going to take photographs of the HARVEY cast & staff and work on the slide show for the lobby.  I need to take one production photograph to meet the early deadlines of a couple of print publications....and I hope the director understood that I do not need EVERYONE in costume....just a few people in a pose.....  BYE BYE BIRDIE a couple of seasons ago had everyone dressed, so I felt compelled to take a group photo.....

Good morning, all! Yesterday was another meds-free day until I went to bed. About an hour after I turned off the lights, my left ankle began throbbing again so I took the Tylenol w/codeine. On Friday I plan to take lots before the MRI so that I can hopefully lie still and flat on my back.  This problem is getting old.

So, another day of lying about. I'm beginning to get bored. I really can't do much until the Man from Philadelphia pays my Dublin invoice, and I'm currently very unhappy with my employer.

Thanks for the Britten article, DR ChasSmith. As a big fan of Britten's music, I hope that his arrangement gets a new recording. The ballet "Les Sylphides," as I recall, is a non-story ballet for one man and a lot of ladies in long white tutus. I've only seen it on video, but I have recordings of three different otchestrations: "Chopiniana" (original Russian version) orchestrated by Glazunov, and the orchestrations of Roy Douglas and Leroy Anderson.  I also believe that the Glazunov score uses different Chopin pieces.

BK:

Do you know how many calories you actually burn, on average, in a 2-mile and a 3-mile jog?  Do you use a pedometer to measure that and whatever various other things a pedometer can measure?

You like to aim for something like 1200 calories intake of food per day.  Is that a net figure (after jogging), or is that the maximum, period, that you want to take in, and however much comes off with the jogging comes off?

Very simple - ham and swiss and lettuce on rye with regular French's mustard

I like to net 1200 calories.  So, that means if I jog off 300 worth I can really eat 1500.  If I were running double what I am in terms of speed, I'd be burning 700 calories or thereabouts on a three-mile jog - I base that on what I do on the treadmill.  So, basically I know I'm jogging off 200-300 for sure, probably close to the latter when you add in the planking and the sit-ups.

Congrats to DR GEORGE....and vibes for his opening night tonight! 

One of my favorite newspaper stories concerned a policeman's gun discharging at a prison:

"....one trusty was shot in the excitement....."  You know that HAD to hurt!

First day of school with the kids!!  I went around to each classroom, we sang "Sing" (Joe Raposo's song) and I always remind them that the lyrics basically outline the rules in my class and the easy way to get an A if you follow what the lyrics say.  It was great to see them all again.  I'm off until next Wednesday, which is nice. 



I think it's great that you let them know upfront just what you want from them. Every teacher is different and I had several who never really made it clear.

Allergies are tough today.  I look hung over.  I'm not. 

Sorry about the allergies.

Are those stacks of books behind you, Robin?

Yes, they are.  I have my fiancee, Michael, take pictures of me in the science fiction sections of used bookstores during our travels. 

I love used book stores.  You can tell how civilized any area is by the number of used book stores they have in the vicinity.

From DR George:

The problem is that Stycks is actually supposed to shoot his gun a little later in the scene and someone inside the building gets shot.  The actress who gets shot was outside in the hall and screamed when the gun went off, which is what she is supposed to do, but it was early.  We had no choice but to continue from that point.  I figure that we only lost about half a page, but still....

At least you have a funny story out of the incident. :)

33 years ago today I arrived in New York and I've never looked back!

I know your living in NY made my visits very special.  You were very kind to walk me to the theater, when I didn't have a clue where it was, to pick up my tickets.

DR Robin I had a serious accident about 4 years ago with left me with a problem shoulder.  I sadly switched to an eReader because it is easier on my shoulder.  Now I can easily read in bed without bothering my shoulder, but I truly miss browsing book stores.

I don't think I've had a slice of muenster cheese since I lived in L.A.

And as I recall, it's a great sandwich cheese.  But I don't think I see it much around here.  I'll look for some.

Well, it's acting time!  I'm off to what I hope will be a very successful final (and I do mean final) dress rehearsal!  It's weird that we can't have a rehearsal tomorrow night (the day before we actually open) because the space is being used for something else, but it'll be what it'll be.

Be back later!

Very...but we're performing at an "event center," so I guess the room was booked before our show was scheduled.  It'll be fine.  We have tomorrow night off (ostensibly to work on our lines), which I will, but I also plan to do some laundry.

The only problem tonight was during my big cop scene, Guy (he plays the other cop) and I were practically in the dark.  I don't know how well the audience could see us, but I'm wearing three, count 'em, THREE pairs of polarized sunglasses (they liked my sunglasses bit) and I could barely see much of anything.  That was discussed after the show tonight, so the room won't be so dark from now on.  Otherwise, pretty much everything else went well.  We have a pretty good show!  Now, we just need people to pay $75 a plate for dinner theater. :)
