Well, you've read the notes, the notes were piquant and pert, not necessarily in that order, and now it is time for you to post until the piquant and pert cows come home.

And the word of the day is: PASSIM!

A Very Happy Birthday to DR Kate!! :D
-
BK, what did you mean when you wrote in today's notes in the fourth paragraph from the bottom, "I’m hoping we’ll be done with that no later than nice."
::)
-
And now, to bed.
Good night, all.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Happy Birthday to Dear Kate!
-
I will be going to Jury Duty soon so goodbye for now.
-
DR Ben - hope your day is interesting and not too tedious.
-
...and speaking of no later than nice...
-
...wishing the happiest of natal celebrations to our DR Kate! :)

from the time machine day #1
If one would go to see the Carol Burnett show I would want to go to the one where they could ad lib and change things. I would love to have been in the audience during the Mama's Family sketch where Tim Conway did the Siamese Elephant and then Vicki Lawrence topped him with a great comeback.
-
from the time machine day #2
Unlike the Carol Burnett Show I don't believe that The Julie Andrews Hour was fully taped in front of a studio audience. The musical segments were done different with multiple sets and costume changes. Also the singing was not done live, but lip-synced for the most part. If you go onto Youtube you can see uncensored musical outtakes that clearly shows that there is no audience and a documentary about the making of the show.
-
And a very happy birthday cake day to Kate

Good morning, all! This is a physical therapy/walking lesson day so i'm having a leisurely morning.
DR George, the concert sounds fantastic! Judy lives on west End not far from me; I used to see her in the 82nd Street Barnes & Noble. When I was a clueless 20 year-old, i worked a summer construction job with several other college boys, and one of them - Mike Hermetz - was also a Miami University student a year ahead of me who was a burgeoning political activist. He was really big into the folk music scene, and I have to thank Mike for prodding me to be less clueless. One day he was raving abut seeing Judy Collins in concert, and this led to my purchasing her album "In My Life," which had just come out. It became an obsession and led to my buying over the next month all of her early albums. In 1970, I saw her in concert; most of the material was from her latest album "Who Knows where the Time Goes?" and all I really remember of the concert is her sitting at the piano and singing "My Father." a song that can still reduce me to tears. She's been through a lot in her life, and I admits her greatly.
So, after therapy, it's back to the taxes. I should be close to finishing things today.
I need some cereal.

Thursday morning greetings! Things got even weirder last night when Richard began feeling unwell and crashed early. We both slept in this morning and he seems ready to resume his conference activities, which are here in the hotel until lunch at the nearby church. I'll probably join them then.
-
Philoktetes est mort....
The play has ended....so I am happy and sad all at the same time. It was a quick 16 days of rehearsal performance, but it was a lot of fun.
Many of the students are moving on to other productions. They also are covered up with homework which they were doing during their times offstage. I hope to see some of them in April when DePauw does A COMEDY OF ERRORS.
It was a great experience and I am grateful that Tim, the director, asked me to be part of the show!
And now ON TO Guys & Dolls!
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR Kate!
-
DR GINNY there has been chaos in Atlanta since you got there!

I watched about half of BLUE JASMINE last night. Cate Blanchett is giving a wonderful performance. I'm not sure where the story is going, but I like the movie a lot.

DR GINNY there has been chaos in Atlanta since you got there!
No kidding, DR JRand! Apparently the state of emergency will be lifted at noon.

Didn't care for The Good German. It seemed more an exercise in style than substance. But I loved the cast.

Today for my birthday I would like to go to BARNES AND NOBLE and buy a good book!
Any Suggestions?

Thanks John G for your comment.
Yes, I too like the CAST, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett and Toby Maguire.

Goodbye for now John. Have a Great Safe Day!!!

You, too, Kate. The thought of going shopping in a book store sounds like a wonderful present to me.

Matthew, what do you think of The Beautiful Game? I just started listening to it. Haven't gotten all the way through, but I do like a few of the songs.

And now ON TO Guys & Dolls!
That's quite a transition!

Best birthday wishes to Paula, the DS of DR Jrand63!

Matthew, what do you think of The Beautiful Game? I just started listening to it. Haven't gotten all the way through, but I do like a few of the songs.
Well, in it's original form (which is what the CD is), I really like what I've heard. However, now it has a new title The Boys in the Photograph and of course, "Our Kind of Love" has been dropped from the show and was used for the melody for "Love Never Dies" in Love Never Dies. I don't know what the new show is like now. RnH is licensing it for amature productions, and it's on my list of shows to do someday. It's a sad story, but it has some great tunes.

I can barely see the screen for all that scenery in the background!

I am unexpectedly done with Jury Duty. I expected to go 2 days but at 12:15 they dismissed us for good for the next 6 years (4 if the Federal court calls). Apparently, all the cases on the docket four our group settled and there were almost no cases to call for jurors so they let us go.
I came home early, got a haircut and went to the grocery store. Anthony was busy cleaning the apartment. While doing so he found a leak in the bathroom sink. I've called the super and we await his arrival to fix it.
I now have to go back to work tomorrow.

The band rehearsal was, for me, a bust - much too small a room so it was too much loud music with no definition, especially as I was sitting in back of the trumpet and trombone player. I informed everyone that tomorrow's sitzprobe could not take place there and to find us a reasonable sized room that would hold the eight musicians and five singers. Haven't heard back yet where that might be. I did stay for about thirty minutes, but I didn't want to harm my ears.
-
I then went and had some chicken tenders to tide me over, picked up a couple of packages, and then came home.
-
I'd already futzed and finessed before I left, and had also written about a half a page. I wrote another couple of pages - ended the chapter I was on and began a new one. I'll do the rest of the writing after our rehearsal and some food. I do have another ninety minutes, so if inspiration hits, I'll do another couple of pages now.
-
DR Jrand:
Can you shimmy like your sister Kate?
I only wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate.

Which leads me to wish my favorite sister a very happy birthday! ( I only have one sister but I'm sure she'd be my favorite if I had more than one).

No. This is the first time, but in 1975 "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To) did not make the originally cut and neither did any of the other songs (except I'm Easy which did make the cut) from Nashville. The revised the rules on how songs were nominated and The Theme from Mahogany made it this time along with I'm Easy but no other songs from Nashville.
I'm Easy went on to win.
