BK pointed out last night:
BK said: "I have been battered and bruised by certain types all over the Internet - a lot of that boils down to the cretin who pursues me all over the Internet, and anyone who thinks THAT'S paranoia knows nothing of what's been happening since 2007. It would drive anyone to paranoia or distraction. But you know what - if I'm so paranoid and destructive maybe we should just call this board quits. Because really I think my history here with most dear readers has not only been positive, but supportive and friendly, as well. "
I actually appreciate when I've just been away a day or two and you write to make sure everything's OK. I'm hoping my one day of raised voices at you when in the middle of a family crisis is an indicator only that I have a boiling point, not any lack of admiration for you or appreciation for the site.
That said, I wonder if by saying from time to time you're going to close down the board, you'd be delighting whoever is plaguing you
I think I should like to write an Ode to Toads.
Good morning, all!
Last night was a bad sleeping night but a very good reading night. The pain meds did not want to work and I was up past midnight reading another Alison Weir book on Anne Boleyn's last days. I will probably nap later. As soon as I've finished my coffee, I will walk to my bank and deposit the Check from Philadelphia. As soon as it clears, I am ordering a new mattress.
DR TCB, I am honored to be one of your favorite nuts and to be in the company of BK and FJL. I'll be happy when I'm feeling better and my sense of humor is restored.
Vibes to DR Mike's Dear Pet.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only 50 more days of summer!!!!
Oh, dear and damnation! I need to change a light bulb and I cannot!
On the good side, the check is in the bank.

If I wasn't sitting at my desk (not falling asleep yet) I would come up and help you.
I can do With some extra help provide for my DP (Dear Pet). Received a phone call from the pet hotel yesterday. My Kismet was peeing blood. They took him to the vet and he has an infection. Gave home a dose of medicine and pain killers. I had them put him in a suite so he would not be around other dogs and had him not to doggy day camp. I'm so upset that this happened while I'm away
Today I saw the DVD of SHARKNADO! at WalMart for $9.99. I did not buy it.

I appreciate that, DR Ben!

You obviously hate fun.
Happy to hear some of you are enjoying the videos.
And the word of the day is: SEROTINAL!
First physical therapy session scheduled for next Monday at 11:15! That's a big weight off my shoulders. I still need someone to change that damned bulb!
FJL, I have been enjoying the lyrics lately. I don't think I have mentioned that, but thank you for posting them.
Amazon has announced the NEXT GENERATION KINDLE. :)
Extra mega vibes to DR Larry Moore

Good late morning, all!
BK, I LOVED seeing the videos, all of them. Great performances by all the girls. Jenna's Dear Mr. Gershwin - is that kid a star or what? And Jane is always amazing.
And I loved hearing the three girls sing Three Friends.
We all survived our first dress rehearsal last night, no thanks to the director. Thankfully, the artisitc director is beginning to sneak his two cents in and it is helping. Now we just have to get rid of the other guy and we can make this into something before it closes. :D
And the password is.... Shipoopi!
Thank you, DR ArnoldBrockman! I finally bit the bullet and dragged out the big ladder. That was an ordeal unto itself, but the bulb is now replaced and the ladder back in place. I've been recuperating for the past hour. The first time I tried it, about two hours, I pulled something in my left leg and as soon as I got off the smaller ladder, I fell straight to the floor. I'm glad I didn't fall off the ladder; that might have been dangerous.
Please don't try to do too much.

I love the YouTube videos, BK.
I'm going to write an "Ode to Sharknado" someday.
Good vibes to all and sundry, with extra portions to those of us feeling under the weather, or over a barrel.
What's always amazing to me in terms of Yacko's story about the director is that there are really good people who never ever get asked to direct anything - these hacks are loved by all the artistic directors or programmers and that's why most LA musical theater is either copies of the B'way stagings or dreck, not necessarily in that order.

DR Robin, you fit in here quite well! LOL!
Speaking of SHARKNADO, this weekend I watched a monster movie that scared me a lot. It was pretty entertaining...about a passenger bus which takes a wrong turn much to the regret of everyone on board.
Hear is the trailer:

I am watching GAILY, GAILY - a movie that I enjoy very much. I believe the lovely soundtrack was released on Kritzerland Records.....and it is still available:

I forgot the lovely "Tomorrow is My Friend" when we were talking about Alan and Marilyn Bergman a few weeks ago.....
One of my all-time favorite Broadway shows is Baby. In the Tony Awards, it was up against La Cage aux Folles, if I remember correctly. (If I don't remember correctly, please correct me. I wouldn't want to go uncorrected.)
For me, Baby was the clear winner. La Cage is great and all, but it doesn't quite have the zip that Baby has, for my money.
If there was any show I'd love to see a revival of, it's Baby.

And they both were up against Sondheim & Lapine's Sunday in the Park with George...one of my all-time favorite shows.
Just sayin'.
Amazon has announced the NEXT GENERATION KINDLE. :)
Interesting. I'm not going to upgrade, though. I like what I have and will keep it until it dies...AND it was free. I got it with points from my debit card. Free is good! When I got it, it was called the Kindle 3rd Generation (the hi-def Kindles didn't exist yet), but now it's called the Kindle Keyboard.

I love Sunday in the Park with George, too! Over the years, I've seen quite a few productions of it, but only a single Baby.

On the lighter side this being the Jewish New Year I am reminded of a non-Jewish friend of mine asking me what my favorite thing about Rosh Hashanah was. I told my friend it was blowing the shofar. Evidentially they misunderstood me. But happy to report they are celebrating their 10th anniversary together.
Oh, dear and damnation! I need to change a light bulb and I cannot!
On the good side, the check is in the bank.
Had a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and picked up no packages.
This is not a good evening. I am in much pain - I think it's from climbing the ladder and I cannot stand on my left leg. On top of that, my bowels are acting up and the constant run to the bathroom is killing me.
All I want to do is take my pain meds and get into bed. This life shouldn't be such an obstacle course. Good night.
Oy and vey. Finished the liner notes, will proof and futz with tomorrow then send them off. Been listening to one half of an upcoming release - really good - beautiful score and a lot of big band source music - normally I put the source music in the bonus section, but this source music is arranged and conducted by one of the greatest big band people ever and it's very much part of the fabric of the score.
I apologize for being gone for the past 24 hours. I have been very sick, but I think I am doing a little better tonight.
I want to say something, and so I do it at this ungodly hour (54 minutes past my bedtime):
I care a lot about this forum and the people in it. Sometimes we bristle, yes. Sometimes we laugh together. Sometimes we cry together.
Let it be known that I am not at all angry at Bruce, nor do I think he's a bad person. I believe the worst I said was "paranoid" and "egotistical". Well, who among us hasn't been there at least one time or other. Certainly I have.
But I will also say that what passed between Bruce and I in another forum took me completely by surprise and I reacted in anger and hurt. I felt the misunderstanding, as it were, had an end result of Bruce not valuing me as a loyal member of his forum. I was given to believe he considered me a spy reporting back to a former member...a member with whom I've never been in personal contact beyond comments exchanged in this forum prior to that member's departure.
Bruce has allayed those perceptions, I accepted his apology and, here and now, do state for all at HainesHisWay.com that I apologize to him for letting my feelings color my judgment to the point that I posted hurtful comments.
It will take me some time, I think, to feel comfortable enough to return to regular posting. This is his forum, and he deserves respectful participation by its membership. I am reading as "guest", and as you all know, I posted my thanks to each of you for the birthday greetings via private message here.
I wish all of you great happiness and peace of mind.
