Time to board my flight !
I am waiting for the Diectv installation guy. It's one of those Between 8:00 and 12:00 things. I was hoping he'd like to get started early. Maybe he's drinking coffee first.
And the word of the day is: FUSTILUGS!
vixmom, how is it getting there on Columbus Day?
Since I know the status of my cd shipment is the uppermost thought in all your minds :)

Jeez, doesn't anyone consider plays from other countries besides the British Isles and the US?
Ginny, am I supposed to be cheering for the Spartans?
Yes, we will be seeing Larry this afternoon. I'll be his produce man.
Meanwhile, here's a picture of him and Kevin (who is on his way to Buffalo, I believe, to see sister Kate and the Lucy Show)

Wow! Good photo, Kevin!
I don't look 16 lbs lighter!
Yesterday I found out that a man who used to paint in my building is really Al Capone's nephew. Cool
He just asked me if I was 100% satisfied with the service he provided?!!!!
Vixdad has been known to beg service people "Please, please be reasonable and assist me in this matter or I will be forced to give the phone to my wife, and then nobody will ever be happy again"
Grammy nomination vibes for Kritzerland.

But reading about it was hysterical.
DR Ben and Anthony just left. They brought me broccoli, an enormous cauliflower, and pumpkin bread! It was a lovely visit and I was really happy to see them.
Now, I'm fighting with iTunes. I want my money back or working mp3 files.
However, in order to get the cable into that room, I had to empty the closet in my office ....the closet where I've thrown all the misc stuff I didn't know what to do with for the past 7 years. YIKES! So, I'm taking advantage of it. I went to Home Depot and bought some Martha Stewart cubby hole shelving units and am putting them in the closet. I'll have them three wide and 5 tall, so roughly three feet by five feet. I've got the bottom unit put together, installed and nearly filled already. I wasn't sure I needed the others, but I know I do. It's amazing what little organization can do. I'm finding lots of my photography stuff, I bought a ton of frames back when I was into it. I found tons of photos that I thought I had lost along the way. Think I may take a break from working and look through some of them while I watch tv
And, he was able to put the dish on the garage roof, on the side/back of the house. You can't see it from the front at all. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.

After all this work vibes you are happy with directv.
I am extremely happy I'm organizing that closet. It's like Christmas finding things I've been looking for and not finding for ..heck years
DR cillaliz, that's a fantastic outcome!
I had equal success with iTunes support. They emailed me back and told me to get the latest download from the iTunes/Apple page. I did, and everything I had downloaded suddenly showed up in my new iTunes. I'm surprised because i recently got a new update on my computer but i am very happy now.

That's because the camera is below you...you have to have it above you so that you're looking up. I remember reading an interview with Angela Lansbury and she said that that's how she always poses for pictures. :)

Hi from Chicago!! I'm visiting my pal Angela for the weekend. It's been fun seeing the sights. Tonight I'm on my own as Angela is in a production of "The Mikado" (which I saw last night) so I'm seeing the national tour of "Once". Today, we went to the The Art Institute and of course, I saw the original Seurat's great painting,which was really great. Tomorrow I'm seeing a play called "To Master the Art" about Julia Child. I believe it's locally written and has been playing for a while, I'm excited to see that.
Of course, there has been pizza consumed and things like that. I'll check in again soon.
Ginny, have you ever considered that Michigan football may be responsible for your heart problems?

That is cool. Does he have any memories of his uncle?
The weather was so warm here today. I love it when I can wear a t-shirt outside in mid-October.
I took my niece to bike at the lake today. The Fall colors are so magnificent there. She was a bit nervous about biking around the actual lake (because she fell and hurt herself the first time we tried doing it). It is gravel and not really ideal for inexperienced riders.
Anyway I have taken her by bike to the park at the lake quite a few times. There is an entry where it is very wide and not near the lake. So she is comfortable doing that. But she wasn't sure if she would be able to ride around where the actual lake's bike path is.
First we stopped to admire the ducks and i took some nice pictures. Then we stopped at the park. Then we ran into her homeroom teacher/English at school who seemed very nice. Then we biked around the lake. We only went half way and then turned around (there are two paths at the section). So we looped around so we could go home by the bigger path. IT took 1 1/2 hours to do just this as she kept wanting to stop and look and collect leaves.
Thankfully she didn't fall this time. Although she did remember falling. But I told her i thought that she could do it.

Sounds like fun. Can you post any of the pictures?
Totally agree about three-act plays.
Good morning, all! A drug-free night and I slept rather well. In my last dream I was working on a play/film/je ne sais quoi about Giuseppe Verdi to star my good friend Stephen Rea. All i remember now is lots of stone staircases and a discussion of thevopera FALSTAFF.
This afternoon I am expecting a visit from our DR Anthony and Ben. I look forward to that.
DR vixmom, I'm so sorry about the DEAREST ENEMY mess! New World Records was slow this year in getting the copies to cast, crew and others on the comp list. I think part of the problems was the hold up on the booklet insert. There's a sad typo in the Criswell biography. She appeared in the Broadway production of THREEPENNY OPERA starring Sting. When I proofed the booklet, I asked them to add that info. I never saw the booklet for a second proof, and the designer made the name STRING. Oy!
Too many plays! I'd include:
The Skin of Our Teeth
Mother Courage
Marat/Sade
A Streetcar Named Desire
No Exit
The Birthday Party
Yes, we will be seeing Larry this afternoon. I'll be his produce man.
Meanwhile, here's a picture of him and Kevin (who is on his way to Buffalo, I believe, to see sister Kate and the Lucy Show)

Couldn't someone have warned me to put on sunglasses before looking at that photo?
I'm on the plane and will have to turn my phone off soon.

Where are you heading now, Kevin?
I hobbled over to the corner bodega and put together a delivery, which will arrive shortly. My left foot does not want to negotiate stairs at all, which is both irritating and extremely painful. Pepperidge Farm is offering pumpkin cheesecake cookies at the moment, and I hope that will cure my pumpkin cookie/muffin craving for the nonce.
Who, Kate?
Topic of the Day:
Angels In America (both parts)
Arcadia
Bent
Noises Off
The Rainmaker
Torch Song Trilogy
A Streetcar Named Desire
You Can't Take It with You
I asked my friend Sarah (she's the stage manager for "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe") who's sitting right next to me and she said that her favorite play ever is "The Death of a Salesman." I've never seen it, so it can't be on my list.
A little before 5:00AM I was about to post and mention I had been wide awake all night when my Nook made a loud warning beep to tell me the battery was about to run out. I of course shut it off before it beeped again. I have no idea how the sound volume got turned up when I left it all the way down. I'm not sure if Keith knows why he heard me get up.

I've made a friend on the FB Forgotten Musicals page, a Boston College student named Jackson, and I've suggested he should check out HHW. He likes old TV, old musicals, and old movies, and I think he would be a great addition

Oh Cool!! I found it on the internet. The painter is Harry Hart referred to in this article. This is the same story I was told

(In my best Jack Benny voice): "Well!"
DR TCB,
I'm jealous you beat me to Page 6!!
TCB, stay away from the Pumpkin Kit Kat's, too.
I believe that Vixmom may have fallen asleep at her computer.
I called and left a message at Sterling's for the November Kritzerland show.
BK--what time does the show start? I've seen 3 different start times on facebook.

Had a productive meeting at the theater and we're all on the same page about everything now. The real challenge of this show for me is going to be getting to the theater and getting home without exploding thanks to the LA horror show known as traffic.
