Well, you've read the notes, the notes played mumbly-peg, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently playing MOOmbly-peg.
-
And the word of the day is: INTERLOCUTOR!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
good morning to all
-
Congrats to BK on all the great work coming his way.
-
ASK BK
Do you get to cast the ALS show or has it been pre-cast?
-
It's early on a Wednesday-- which is better than being late on a Wednesday. Although, early on a Thursday might be preferable. Or something.
-
:)
Good morning.

Isn't Annie closing in a couple of months?

DR Laura - Yes; in January.

I just like saying it aloud. :)

Wednesday morning greetings! Last night, DR TCB asked if I'd ever considered retirement. Well, yes, in fact I'm taking the next several days off from organizational work and devoting time to my family. Tonight, Richard and I are taking Rob and Mary Linda out for dinner for a belated celebration of their anniversary and Rob's birthday. Tomorrow, I'm driving to northern Indiana to meet my sister for some genealogy research. I'll be back Friday evening and spend the weekend with Richard, watching football on Saturday and going to Lima for church on Sunday.
-
Yes I am Courtesy Photo, DR TCB.
Forgot to congratulate you yesterday on your fine skills, Madame President/DR GINNY..... I am sure you are an excellent administrator!
-
Congrats to MR BK on his new gigs. You may just make it in this business yet, young man!
-
HARVEY cast is getting browbeaten by an inexperienced director....lots of drama....sounds like what DRryacko went through recently.....
-
Congrats to BK!
And I have a question: Will Sandy be performing in NYC the week of Nov. 10-16?
-
Ohhhh, this week is getting longer and longer.....
Enjoy the day everyone.
-
Good Morning All:
Congratulations to BK Also!
-
TOD:
No question today for DR BK.
I just want to say I am on Part II, Chapter I of Kritzerland and I am in love with Benjamin Kritzer!
-
AND THE QUOTE OF THE DAY IS:
"It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it."
Roger Ebert
-
My prayers to the families who lost their loved ones twelve years ago.
NEVER FORGET!!
-
A friend of a friend has asked me to type up his soon to be book soon.
He is a former professional baseball player who used to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
He grew up in South Buffalo, NY where I also did.
It should be interesting. I will get the notes next week!
-
Ohhhh, this week is getting longer and longer.....

Can it get any longer? I just want it to end.

Yesterday, the hubby and I went to Lowe's. We picked up paint and radiator vents and a new door handle and lock. Also a beautiful bronze scrolled night light for our bathroom.
Soon we will be painting our interior, exterior door. It will be a muted color called Butternut tree, by Valspar.
Then we can finally put our beautiful bronze doorknocker on that we received from my best friend and her husband several years ago for our previous house. It has our family name on it.
-
I just love to decorate! :)
-
PAGE 2 !!! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
I should finish KRITZERLAND today.
Then it's on to KRITZER TIME!!
Then I will write a great review on all three.
-
TOD;
Actually BK I do have a question for you:
Would you ever consider making the Benjamin Kritzer Triology a movie, Sitcom or Musical?
I think it would be a SMASH!!
-
Goodbye for now!
I should be back later!
Have a great day everyone, but NEVER FORGET 911 and please take a moment for silence and say a prayer!

I have been working (via Skype) with a very talented voice actress from Birmingham, AL, Nancy McLemore, adapting my one-woman play, CLARA BOW, into an audio drama.
We're in the home stretch now. She's doing some pick-ups and I'm deciding where the sound effects and music cues go.
I'd forgotten how much I enjoy this process...particularly when it is going well.
-
DR Jane: Am I right in assuming that your solar-powered owl has been named Blair because you couldn't remember the name of the character she played in "The Exorcist"? It was "Regan".
Or...maybe it was after Blair Warner, the character Lisa Whelchel played in "Facts of Life"?
:)
-
the talk of plastic yard owls yesterday cracked me up.
-
DR TCB: I've often wondered why Penny-O didn't post here more than she does. And now I know. It's because people confuse you with her.
-
Good morning, all! I've had a whirlwind morning here: my Time Warner Cable was out so I had no phone or computer access, and when I called Verizon to pay via debit card my cell phone bill, the credit card wouldn't go through. My neighbor Mark lent me his cellphone so I verified that my bank account hadn't been tampered with, then I rebooted the modem for the phone and computer and everything was back up and running. Then I called Verizon and the debit card worked! All now seems right with the world.
Last night, I slept using only the flexerill and no Tylenol, which seems a good thing. It was a very restless sleep, but I survived the night, and I am feeling very groggy this morning.
I still don't know who won the mayor primary yesterday. No, DR JohnG, I would not have voted for Spitzer or Weiner if I had voted. I only care about a person's private demons when it moves into their job territories, and both men have too much dirty laundry for me to suspect they've resoived those problems to their constituents' advantage.
-
DR JRand: "God's Corner" is in Mooresville, yes? So...God's Corner is just south of the Devil's Armpit (which is how I've heard folks refer to Terre Haute).
-
DR Larry Elmore3003: Hang in there!

Come Back to the Five and Dime, Mikey B., Mikey B.!

Oh, I read that 1940s B movie actress Louise Currie has passed away at age 100.

You are geographically correct DR SINGDAW.
-
I had all the typical reactions to the events of 12 years ago, including nightmares and a serious physical illness (pneumonia) and I also had a delayed reaction several years later. Richard and I took the Circle Line cruise that circumnavigates Manhattan and at one point the narrator said, "Now, on September 10, 2001, you wouldn't have been able to see that building." That really got to me...
-
You are geographically correct DR SINGDAW.
?? Ex-squeeze me??
-
Time for a basement walk for me - bye for now!
-
DR Jane: Am I right in assuming that your solar-powered owl has been named Blair because you couldn't remember the name of the character she played in "The Exorcist"? It was "Regan".

THe actress was Linda Blair.

I was doing a production of THE ODD COUPLE on 9/11/01.....all state employees were given the option of leaving at 2 p.m. - which I did. The first radio reports of a plane crash into the WTC were vague - it may have been an accident. After the second crash, one of the managers brought a tv into an office and we watched CNN. They replayed the second plane several times. And seeing it was so much more horrifying than just hearing about it on the radio.
We had a pick up rehearsal that night - and some people didn't come. We seriously considered postponing the show for a week - but decided to let the show go on. The people in the audience could decide if they wanted to come....
Our audiences were most appreciative and they all talked to us after the show and told us how grateful they were that we went on with the show. In his curtain speech, the director asked for a moment of silence....
It was very difficult - but you do what you have to do.
-
?? Ex-squeeze me??

Just like DR TCB gets mistaken for DR PennyO, I often get mistaken for you, DR Ron Pulliam!

Mumblety-peg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblety-peg)
The game combines not only precision in knife-throwing, but also a good deal of bravado and proper assessment of one's own skills.
Sheesh! :P

ASK BK
Do you get to cast the ALS show or has it been pre-cast?
I have nothing to do with the casting, and I'm fine with that.
-
Ohhhh, this week is getting longer and longer.....
Enjoy the day everyone.
I don't remember the exact dates but it's sometime around then.
-
TOD;
Actually BK I do have a question for you:
Would you ever consider making the Benjamin Kritzer Triology a movie, Sitcom or Musical?
I think it would be a SMASH!!
Glad you're enjoying the book! I'd love it to be a movie.
-
I'm up after about eight hours and fifteen minutes of sleep.
-
DR TCB, I keep meaning to ask if the 3 Stooges movie you have been waiting to release on DVD is HAVE ROCKET, WILL TRAVEL?
And if it is, it has been out now on the big 3 Stooges set that was released about a year ago, or so. It is also available more recently on its own.
-
Oh wow it is hot today!
-
Very hot here as well....
-
The Heat brings us to Page 3
-
And Yes, it's Hot and Sticky in New York City.
-
Hot & muggy here, too, but it's supposed to break tomorrow. Probably means I'll drive to northern Indiana in thunderstorms :P
-
And the word of the day is: INTERLOCUTOR!
And The Song Of The Day Is: POEMS
-
A bit toasty in Salem, Oregon, 97301 also.
-
Guess I'll go do a jog.
-
I think I'll go eat worms.
-
Not one of my books, but I thought this trailer turned out rather well.

100! Amazing!
-
Back from a three-mile jog and shall now get ready for our rehearsal.
-
A friend of a friend has asked me to type up his soon to be book soon.

:)
Nope, it is because Regan, pronounced Reegan, is the name of my nephew's almost wife and the mother of my two grand nephews.
-
the talk of plastic yard owls yesterday cracked me up.
;D
We watched the head rotate today. It pauses in-between rotations so we had to wait a bit. It was about as exciting as waiting for Old Faithful to go off on our recent trip to Yellowstone. Boy, I waited my whole life to see Old Faithful-lol
-
DR TCB: I've often wondered why Penny-O didn't post here more than she does. And now I know. It's because people confuse you with her.
;D
-
Yes it is supposed to be cooler in these parts tomorrow as well....just in time for the opening of HARVEY.
-
I am making Photo Disks in case someone orders them.....I think we have prospective orders for 6, so I am making 8 - it might save me a trip back down there to deliver one next week. If we have an extra, it can just go to the historical society.
-
I had a nice hike with my group this morning at the trails I used to hike on a regular basis. At the end of the hike there was a beautiful dog. As I began to walk towards the dog and his person to ask if I may pet him he charged me. I of course immediately backed up while telling him no. Backing up slowed him down but he was still aggressive towards me. I felt the woman with him could have moved with more speed to leash him. Even though she apologized I was rather angry about it and said if he attacks people he needs to be on a leash. Apparently I was wearing clothing he didn't like, a black shirt & black hat. She knows this about him, saw me on the trail and checked that he was ok with me. Then why the hell didn't she immediately leash him or keep her eyes on my location!!
-
I'm only 60% through "The Paris Wife" and must finish it today before my library removes it from my Nook.
-
DR Jane, Thanks for the nice comments.
Also keep reading The Paris Wife. I just finished it last week and I really enjoyed it!
As far as the dog story. I love dogs but do not trust any animal until I get to know it and it gets to know me.
-
Well everyone, I just finished KRITZERLAND AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!
Most of the book was very humorous, but there also were some very special reading moments that made me teary eyed and really moved me. Now that's what I consider a GREAT READ
-
Now its on to BK's third book, KRITZER TIME!
I just know I will love this book also.
-
I feel like I personally know the protagonist, Benjamin Kritzer!
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL GREAT WRITING BY BRUCE KIMMEL!
-
I Know that I mentioned it before but any DR"S who have not yet read The Benjamin Kritzer Triology are really missing out. I cannot recommend it enough.
Give it a go and let me know how you enjoyed it!
And any DR'S who have read it let me know also!
-
It's been a long day; I get tired of spending most of my day in bed. I had a visit from my friend Ransom Bruce, who's moving to London on Sunday for a year so his partner Michael can study at LAMDA. It was a short visit, but it was nice to see him. I will send him the names and addresses of friends n London. Then, later in the afternoon, i talked to Rob Berman, who's heading to LA tomorrow night for the Emmy Awards this weekend. He's nominated - again! - for the Kennedy Center Honors music direction. He won last year. I hope he wins again.
-
I'm waiting for my matzoh ball soup to heat up; that's tonight's dinner, with some potato salad.
-
DR Elmore,
My prayers for your recovery. Hang in There!
Also I hope your Friend wins!
-
Thank you, DR Kate! If I am correct, this will take us to page 4.
-
Are we there?
-
YES!
-
This has been a sad day, from the reading of the Trade Center victims to all the commentary and the posts about 9/11 on Facebook.
-
And all these bios of the Tudors I'm reading don't do much to perk up my mood either!
-
DR Elmore,
You are most welcom!
I was wondering if you enjoy crossword puzzles? Its an enjoyable way (I Think) to pass the time when you are laid up.
-
Well Goodbye for Now!
-
Kate, I do like crossword puzzles, and I play Bookworm on my computer.
I have bathed, and I will go lie down with the heating pad on my lower back, watch a bit of tv, and hopefully fall asleep soon. I'm going to try sleeping tonight with no flexerill as well as no Tylenol. We'll see.
-
DR Jane, Thanks for the nice comments.
Also keep reading The Paris Wife. I just finished it last week and I really enjoyed it!
As far as the dog story. I love dogs but do not trust any animal until I get to know it and it gets to know me.
I finished the book. I had mixed feelings about it. I wasn't expecting to like it at all and was pleasantly surprised to like it as much as I did.
As for the dog, unless a dog is all over me I don't pet it without asking for permission first. I was nowhere near this dog, just walking towards it, when it charged. I've never had that happen before in a common area where dogs are off leash.
-
DR Jane,
Yes, that's ridiculous that the dog wasn't on a lease!
So What did you think of
The Paris Wife's ending?
-
Hello!
-
Well, it was a hot day, but there was a slight breeze so it wasn't as bad as predicted, IMO.

Good evening, from warm Southwestern Ohio.
-
I think we're in the same temperature pattern, and on the same days, as back home, which is actually a little unusual.
At any rate, I'm going to enjoy the break into the low 80s tomorrow, and the REAL break on Friday. That one's going to feel like autumn.

You're welcome, George! I'm so glad someone put them on youtube. It brings back memories of how much I enjoyed seeing the show in person.

I wish they would also post Brent singing "The Road You Didn't Take" if they have it.
-
DR Jane,
Yes, that's ridiculous that the dog wasn't on a lease!
So What did you think of
The Paris Wife's ending?
My complaint was really that she didn't pay attention to her dog when it has issues about people in black. One must stay attentive even if the dog doesn't have issues.
I liked the ending.
-
It was strange last week going 5 days without access to the internet. Keith had to check for messages for me and relay them-lol.
-
Bruce how is your darling daughter's mouth?

This will sound like a rash statement, but...
http://www.originalpancakehouse.com/
BEST PANCAKE HOUSE EVER.
They're pretty new around these here parts (Cincinnati), but the chain originated in Portland, OR in 1953. It took me all day to figure out where I'd had a pancake, bacon and coffee experience as fine (and as similar) as this one. The year was 1986, and it was the Walker Bros. Pancake House in Wilmette, IL, a place that always has a line out the door. Well, I'm browsing the above website, and guess what. Same damned company.
So of course I'm frantically checking for any locations in the Northeast. There's one now in Fort Lee, NJ (just across the Geo. Washington Bridge) and one "coming in 2013" to White Plains, NY.

-
Very happy to hear Kate's comments, and am most anxious, for various reasons, for her to read Kritzer Time.
-
We had some lunch (patty melt for me), and then we ran the Ira Gershwin show - I gave lots of little notes and did some staging things that I couldn't do via Face Time, so that was fun. It's now in good shape and surprisingly it's a really good show. I think it will be in excellent shape for New York in October, then we'll book it here in LA early next year as well as San Francisco and maybe even London, which would be my very first trip overseas.

We used to eat at the one in Michigan, mostly on Sunday mornings when the line was a mile long to get in. Sometimes when Keith was traveling the boys and I would go for dinner, and yes I had pancake, one the the big ones. They had good hot chocolate too.
-
My favorite was the apple:

Question -
"The Popular Song" dance - Addams family style video - it breaks into "Popular" from WICKED around 0:50
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmcdLOjGVzw
Does this count as a Broadway song "charting" - it's on Ariana Grande's album which is #1 this week.
-
They were so big we began sharing one or the other, mostly the Dutch Baby.
We don't go anymore as they really are not the healthiest of meals.
-
Yes, it's Sunday morning/afternoon lines that are the killer. And yes, the apple pancake was it for me then. Today I had the buckwheat pancakes. Incredible. And the bacon. When this place says "thick sliced", they mean it. Incredible bacon.
-
I figured since I managed 5 days without the internet, except for a brief stop in a coffee shop that was too hot to stay in, I can manage until 2:00pm tomorrow. I'm curious if not connecting to the internet really prevents the library from removing a book.

We never had the bacon but everything we had was the best. Craig who doesn't like pancakes likes their 49'er Flap Jacks as they are extra thin.
-
Yes, The Original Pancake house is the Best!
-
DR Bruce,
I truly mean it when I say I just love Benjamin Kritzer! I am now ready to begin Kritzer Time.
I am truly addicted to your books!

When I was at my parents', I was internet-less for close to three days. (I did have email, though.)

Goodbye for Now!

Bye, Kate. Always fun hearing what's going on.

Probably not officially. It's not the actual "Popular" song from the Wicked soundtrack (spoo!) cast album. But thanks for posting it! I love Mika and hadn't thought about his music videos in quite a while. :D
-
I wish they would also post Brent singing "The Road You Didn't Take" if they have it.
I was just going to post the same thing! Thanks for the other great clips, DR KevinH!

When I was at my parents', I was internet-less for close to three days. (I did have email, though.)

I could have used my brother's computer but preferred not to.

Read more chapters of Dark Market - the chapters are really short, and I like that. I mean like three pages. Arrests are being made - and I REALLY like that!

Watching the rest of "Smash-Up" with Susan Hayward. She has a lullaby in the picture, "Hushabye Island," that lyrically has the feel of "Hushabye Mountain."

Good night, all.

Just had a one-hour telephonic conversation with Mr. Nick Redman - 2015 is going to be a VERY wonderful year for Blu-ray collectors and that's all I'm sayin'.

Well, it's past time for me to leave work. So, I'm leaving.
Be back later!

DR TCB: I've often wondered why Penny-O didn't post here more than she does. And now I know. It's because people confuse you with her.
I know, Ron, it is strange. But I am sure she gets tired of people running up to her and screaming, "TCB! TCB!" Thank goodness she doesn't go into gay bars. It is bad enough that she has to deal with all those theater people.

I was doing a production of THE ODD COUPLE on 9/11/01.....all state employees were given the option of leaving at 2 p.m. - which I did. The first radio reports of a plane crash into the WTC were vague - it may have been an accident. After the second crash, one of the managers brought a tv into an office and we watched CNN. They replayed the second plane several times. And seeing it was so much more horrifying than just hearing about it on the radio.
We had a pick up rehearsal that night - and some people didn't come. We seriously considered postponing the show for a week - but decided to let the show go on. The people in the audience could decide if they wanted to come....
Our audiences were most appreciative and they all talked to us after the show and told us how grateful they were that we went on with the show. In his curtain speech, the director asked for a moment of silence....
It was very difficult - but you do what you have to do.
We were in a similar situation. I was finally getting my shot at playing Sheridan Whiteside in THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER. We were set to preview on the 13 and open on the 14. We, also went ahead on schedule, and the artistic director gave a nice curtain speech every night about laughter being a way to combat the pain of tragedy. The houses were small for the entire run, and even though there was laughter, it never was what we hoped. It was tough going out and being silly when our hearts were so torn by what happened.

DR TCB, I keep meaning to ask if the 3 Stooges movie you have been waiting to release on DVD is HAVE ROCKET, WILL TRAVEL?
And if it is, it has been out now on the big 3 Stooges set that was released about a year ago, or so. It is also available more recently on its own.
Thanks Mike. I had given up looking for it to be released. I will order it first thing tomorrow.

Tonight, I need to go to bed early because tomorrow night, I'm going to see the new musical version of Secondhand Lions in Seattle with a couple of friends of mine! I've only heard a couple of songs, so I hope that the rest of it is good. We have some pretty good seats, so it'll be fun just to go see another pre-Broadway show. I don't know if this is specifically headed to Broadway, though.
