Good morning, all.

The dog story is just sickening.  I'm stunned to hear the response of Animal Control.  Isn't this one of the reasons they exist?  What exactly is their mission?

Social media, yes, but it sounds like it's already time for a local TV news channel to get on this and interview Animal Control, someone with the police, the neighbor, and of course the owner who will not come out for it but their identity and location of the house should be apparent.  You're on TV, baby.  This is so typical, the aggressive killer dog owned by an aggressive uncaring idiot to match.  Those stations can be very good about getting things done.

I know this is knee-jerk and a gross generalization, but my immediate assumption when it comes to that kind of dog owner is that they are also fiercely proud owners of not just guns but a collection of assault weapons, and they drive a Hummer. 

(My apologies to the killer dog, assault weapons, and Hummer owners among us!!)     :)

I have a one inch scar on my arm from a dog bite as a child.  Yet a few dog owners still don't seem to get why I think their dogs should be on a leash.  Like, what's my problem, their dogs only run after cats not humans.  They killed the cat next door.

Ventura is a dog town.  Period.  Pickup trucks and dogs.

But still 99% of dog owners do train their pets, and do use leashes.
A good owner has a good dog.

Kritzerland is proud to present a world premiere limited edition CD release:

THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY

Music Composed and Conducted by Alfred Newman

Take an all-star cast (including Fred Astaire, Debbie Reynolds, Lili Palmer, Tab Hunter, Gary Merrill and Charlie Ruggles), a hit Broadway show (The Pleasure of His Company by Samuel Taylor and Cornelia Otis Skinner), a world-class director (George Seaton), and what could possibly go wrong?  The answer is, in a word – nothing.  The plot is a bubbly confection about a ne’er-do-well rich man named “Pogo” Poole (Astaire), who returns from his many travels to attend the wedding of his daughter Jessica (Reynolds), a debutante who hasn’t seen her father since he and her mother (Palmer) divorced.  As in all bubbly confections, there are complications, misunderstandings, charm, laughs and the eventual happy ending.  The Pleasure of His Company has all these in spades with an emphasis on the “pleasure.”

Hired to compose the score was the great Alfred Newman, who’d recently ended his long tenure at Twentieth Century-Fox.  Newman had scored several of  director George Seaton’s early films, including Chicken Every Sunday, The Big Lift, For Heaven’s Sake and Anything Can Happen, and just as Seaton had migrated from Fox to Paramount, so, too, did Newman. There he scored both The Pleasure of His Company and Seaton’s next Paramount film, The Counterfeit Traitor.

It’s hard to imagine a more luscious, melodic, beguiling and captivating romantic comedy score than what Newman delivered for The Pleasure of His Company.  The score gets off to a stunning start with a great Newman theme, “Lullaby in Blue” – a theme that is the cornerstone of the score and will reappear at frequent intervals.  The main secondary theme occurs soon thereafter, Newman’s Pleasure of His Company theme.  There’s a wonderful theme for Astaire, a kind of “traveling music” that is infectious and fun.  And there are other lovely themes along the way to the happy ending.  The score is like a sparkling glass of champagne – sophisticated, lush, witty, tender and pure Newman. 

This is the first CD release for The Pleasure of His Company and we present the complete score, the source music, and some demo cues, mostly in stereo from the original session masters housed in the Paramount vaults.   A world premiere score release by Alfred Newman is always cause for celebration – so, pop open the champagne and be prepared to be charmed by one of the greatest film composers who ever lived.

The Pleasure of His Company is limited to 1000 copies only and is priced at $19.98, plus shipping.

CD will ship the last week of October, but preorders placed at Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks early (we’ve been averaging four weeks).  To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

Speaking of dogs there were tons of them yesterday at 5:30pm when i went for my bike ride at the lake. Tons.  There is a dog park (enclosed gate) there too. Most of them were there. But the dogs are also allowed to walk (on a leash) around the lake. There were probably 50 dogs doing that. So it made bike riding much more difficult (since you have to slow down in case the dog jumps in front of you, which they don`t do 99% of the time).

Went to my niece`s soccer tournament yesterday. Much different game than Saturday. They were pretty bad the first day. But my niece and her friend were amazing yesterday. And their team won 5-0 and my niece scored 2 goals. They`ve been practicing track at school all last week and it showed. My niece was running across the field stopping the other team. Her coach seemed happy.

BK that is horrible that the police and animal control do not want to act.  I would definitely get a pet friendly lawyer and contact the media.  I wonder if your cousin should file the police report based on HER injuries since they obviously don`t care about the pets.  The attitude of the owners is appalling. I just don`t get it. Their dog killed another dog. How could they not be ashamed and horrified.  And the fact that the dog was running loose. How can the police not care about that?

Good morning, all! In another hour I can leave the apartment for my first round of physical therapy, and it cannot arrive soon enough. I can barely stand and keep my balance, I can hardly walk,and I cannot reach up; any attempt to raise my arms results in tremendous tugging in my groin, and I am actually most comfortable lying on my back with my head slightly elevated. Unfortunately, a turn to my left side or right side can result in a constant electric-shock pain running up and down which ever leg I am putting pressure on.  And when I stand, with my cane, I never know what turn will put pressure on my left knee and I will be forced to find a chair or some other means of taking the pressure away; the other day I fell down, and I do not want that to happen in public.  If the physical therapy can repair this, let's do it.

I slept terribly last night, and as a consequence, my body did not want to get out of bed. I suspect I will g back to bed as soon as I get in from my appointment.

You are smart to watch for jumping dogs.  Echo was one of those but I would say "leave" before she jumped and she would be fine, even off leash.  One must be diligent about their dogs faults to prevent problems.

Whenever I see a kid or a dog i slow down because you just never know. The only time i ever had a problem was when a dog went in front of the bike. The owner was holding the leash so i assumed the dog was on it (it wasn`t). It was totally the owners fault since the dogs have to be on a leash. And i was able to slam on my brakes.

Good morning, all.... oops, it's afternoon.
Oh well, after opening week of hell in a period piece handbasket, it's morning to me.  :D

First... the dog thing. Infuriating. I hope the owners get dragged through the proverbial mud - while it's filled with snakes.

Opening of the show went well, and again, my thanks for all of the well-wishes from all of the DR's and BK.
I should say, it went as well as it could, considering the no-nothing running it all. Funny that the faux director slinked away without saying goodbye. I guess he knew we all wanted to strangle him.

We will make the best of it now, but the first reviews are out - very kind to the actors, but they all point to muddled story-telling, which is the one of the things the director was clueless about, and never addressed. Ever.

Ah, well, it's all blood under the bridge, a small paycheck, and some very good castmates to collaborate with now that we're free to do so.

Onward and upward. I'll try and catch up with the goings-on here now.

Cheers!

Ginny I thought of you yesterday while watching the Michigan game with my brother and niece.



Thanks, DR Jane!  At least you didn't have to stay up 'til midnight to see how it turned out!

We were up late since my brother "paused" the game until after the rest of the family had gone home.  The plus side was the ability to skip the commercials :)

Speaking of dogs there were tons of them yesterday at 5:30pm when i went for my bike ride at the lake. Tons.  There is a dog park (enclosed gate) there too. Most of them were there. But the dogs are also allowed to walk (on a leash) around the lake. There were probably 50 dogs doing that. So it made bike riding much more difficult (since you have to slow down in case the dog jumps in front of you, which they don`t do 99% of the time).

You are smart to watch for jumping dogs.  Echo was one of those but I would say "leave" before she jumped and she would be fine, even off leash.  One must be diligent about their dogs faults to prevent problems. 

Whenever I see a kid or a dog i slow down because you just never know. The only time i ever had a problem was when a dog went in front of the bike. The owner was holding the leash so i assumed the dog was on it (it wasn`t). It was totally the owners fault since the dogs have to be on a leash. And i was able to slam on my brakes.

I hope the owner was appropriately embarrassed & apologetic.

I'll just say I adore Shirley Temple's movies.  But in talking about great kid performances - Patty Duke in The Miracle Worker would rank at the top of the list,

My parent's had not seen the Miracle Worker prior to the Oscar's and didn't believe me when I insisted Patty Duke would win.  They thought she was too young.  Boy have things changed since then.

I had an interesting experience this weekend.  I attended our niece's baby shower at a wonderful old home hosted by the wife of my brother's long time, good friend Ronny.  My ex SIL is also good friend's with the hostess.  I've been hearing about these people for years but it wasn't until I walked into their living room and discovered, by the decor, that I was in the home of Ronny's grandfather, composer Arnold Schoenberg.

With a bit of research I also discovered the hostess is the daughter of composer Eric Zeisl.

It was a lovely garden party and I had fun visiting with people I haven't seen since the wedding in January.

Back from a really fun lunch with a film composer and our very own Nick Redman - no overeating - we all shared three dishes of food and the portions at this jernt are on the small side.  The composer signed 100 booklets for an upcoming release.  I think Nick's idea is a good one for the general populace - get a signed booklet if you purchase sixty dollars or more in Kritzerland CDs - that will help move some back catalog.  We've always just given away the booklets but other labels have done this promotion kind of thing (only for a lot more dough - you have to buy $100 worth of stuff) - however, I got about ten extra books signed so anyone from here who orders it will get a free booklet and won't have to purchase any more than the one CD.

Well they said sorry. But since i didn`t fall off my bike or hit the dog i guess they didn`t really care.  It`s sort of weird to have kids, dogs and bikes on the same path. I am careful but i suspect other bikers aren`t as careful. There are a few blind spots on the path.

I spent the afternoon lying in bed and watching tv; the therapist told me to do very little sitting.  So, I'm having a bit of dinner, going back to bed, and watching a bit of tv, reading, and that's the rest of my day.

It's the same one the dentist has offered to replace with a brand spanking new one that shouldn't ever fall off, but the appointment for her to cause me much pain in that pursuit isn't until October 2.  So, I will venture back to the dentist office to have her stick the old one on once more.  Since it doesn't hurt now and since she's doing this all for free, I really don't mind

I wonder what the original Australian version is like.  I would assume that some changes were made for the Broadway version.  There certainly are differences between the cast recordings.
