Well, you've read the notes, the notes mentioned Kritzerland at Sterling's 42, and now it is time for you to post until the 42 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: REFULGENCE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning, all.
Up way too early this morning, tossing and turning and dreaming and waking in the doldrums of winter. Oy.
So, now ... coffee!
-
Very glad to hear the Kritzerland show was a success.
-
The temperature has gone up from 8 to 9 degrees since I've been up.
-
Glad to hear that the Kritzerland show went so well!
-
Hmm... that TOD seems awfully familiar.... ;)
-
So nice to see both E&T DRs Edisaurus and DakotaCelt here at HHW yesterday.
-
Good morning, all! When the alarm rang at 6:15, I was dreaming about a really unpleasant rehearsal period for several shows in stock, possibly in England, I think. All I remember is a lot of hassles and battles as well as a long drive to a cast party.
This morning, I meet with my accountant Scott and turn in my 2013 tax info. Then I will bus up to City Center and watch the afternoon rehearsal for LITTLE ME. I'm thinking about changing tomorrow's physical therapy appointment, since the word is the weather will again be bad tomorrow.
DR DakotaCelt, welcome back! That was fantastic news about Ms Reid. Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead!
DR vixmom, I loved the Cracker Barrel gift card. What a neat thank you gift for your samaritan. Vixdad thinks fast on his feet!
Good news about last night's show. Wasn't today's TOD on last week's calendar?
-
Good Morning-- it's a good thing I don't want to be awake yet, because I'm not.
-
Off to Toyland! Heigh ho!
-
good morning to all
-
TOD
There were too many shows to choose a favorite Harold Prince show, but now to choose a favorite song? Times all those show by 15-20 songs per show impossible. Even his less successful shows there's at least one or two songs that are good.
-
Loved the photos from DR VIXMOM! And the stories as well!
Glad DR GINNY is home, just in time for another foot of snow.
DR EDISAURUS was here and so was DR DAKOTA CELT...
That was some story at the link about DR DAKOTA CELT's former boss...outrageous!!!
-
Wonderful news about the Kritzerland Show!!!
And MR BK's writing binge continues!!!
-
DR George wrote:
If you right-click on the doughnut picture and "save-as," the file name tells you which kind they are. ;)
Thanks. But how dumb of them. Why bother having a website and not including the names beside each one!
-
Since I have my car back!!! ... I will be heading out to do the Monday shopping and banking and hopefully get back home before the 5-7 inches of snow begin....they say at 5 p.m. today....but who knows?
-
That story about Dancing With the Stars losing their live band is interesting.
It's sort of odd that they've had it all these years. I enjoyed it a lot. It will be interesting to see if viewers are upset.
-
DR Vixmom are your tires snow tires? (not sure if they are mandatory in the winter where you live).
They are mandatory here in the winter. And I have to say it makes a huge difference. I used to slide and now i never do. I think it was a great idea to make them mandatory so nobody feels like they shouldn't do it. Much safer.
-
Nice to see DRs Edi and Dakota!
-
It will be interesting to see if viewers are upset.
Sadly, I don't think the majority will know or notice the difference.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! It is so good to be HOME!!!
We had a smooth drive from the airport last night. Made a quick stop at the grocery and bought more than I'd intended because there's another winter storm on the way later today. By the time we got home and settled down to eat some dinner, it was 10pm and time for CASTLE.
-
Today I have a previously-scheduled stress test at the office of my new cardiologist. We'll find out just how out of shape I am.
Worst part of the prep - no caffeine. I want some coffee!!!
-
Sorry to have missed DRs Edisaurus and DakotaCelt last night.
-
Greetings from Toyland! I will do a couple of scans and then go to my tax appointment.
-
DR Singdaw, there was an exhibit about the St. John's Bible at the University of Dayton library last fall. Richard and I went to a couple of programs and visited the exhibit. For Christmas, the church in Lima gave Richard the facsimile editions of Psalms and The Gospels.
-
Great to hear the Kritzerland show was a success!
-
What a wonderful gift, DR Ginny! You can purchase the entire regular edition for under $400. The "heritage" facsimile edition goes for about $60,000, I believe. That is the edition that is on display around the campus and in various libraries that can afford it. It sure is a beauty!
-
Yesterday was 31 years ago that we lost Karen Carpenter.

Richard received the "regular" editions, which are still quite exquisite!

Really? I'd think it will be all-too-obvious since the band is always playing near the dance floor.
-
My taxes are finished, and for the first time in at least twenty years, I do not owe the State or the US Treasury anything! Of course, if i'd worked between September and December things might have changed!
-
Happy "owe-nothing to State and Feds" vibes to DR Elmoore!
-
DR SINGDAW I enjoyed reading about your weekend retreat.
-
So, I woke up feeling a little under the weather, then two of the cats had a fight (no injuries- but it was escalating beyond play) then the garage door opener totally broke loose from the door and the bracket that attaches to the door was just hanging there. I decided that was a sign that I should stay home today. SO, I went to the office, boxed up some work, called the garage door repair guy, who was just here two weeks ago, and am now resting in my recliner. and .....I'm still waiting for it to snow.
-
I hope the day gets better, Cilla.
-
My being E and T the last few days has resulted in my missing a boatload of birthdays...so here is a big happy belated birthday wish to DRs Ben, Iris, Kerry, and Edisaurus!!
Hope all of you have a wonderful birthday!!

And a big welcome to DR Dan M. I think you will like it here!

Lord, we already did the topic? I was so tired last night I couldn't even see straight and apparently didn't. New topic of the day: What are your favorite songs from Harold Prince shows.
-
Kidding.

And feel free to post photos of Dear Cat Minny!!!
-
New topic of the day: Have you ever been stranded somewhere because of the weather - if so, where and for how long?
-
I hope the day gets better, Cilla.
Thanks FJL. It really isn't that bad of a day, just feel like I"m catching a cold and have a bit of a headache. The cats have made up. Ricky and Boo play and it just goes a bit too far sometimes and I need to separate them. It's sounds like someone is being murdered, but that's usually just Boo being dramatic. The guys will come between 4 and 6 to fix the door. i had to get a bit indignant to get them to waive the service call fee. He did install a part and adjust the motor and it broke 2 weeks later. I can still raise and lower it, I just have to do it by hand
-
When I was in college I transferred from Kansas to Iowa after my sophomore year. I drove back to KU to visit one year and on the way back I got stranded in Kearny, Mo. I waited really longer than I should have to pull off the interstate, but there was just no going any farther. I went from hotel to hotel trying to find a room, but everything was full.....except the Kam Ron Inn. I had a room, the phone was down the hall, the closet was the pipe coming off the water heater and there were holes in the walls that were covered with duct tape. But, it was clean, it was warm and dry and it had a TV. The next morning the show was up to my knees but I was able to get the car out and get on my way. I did hear on the news that someone was hit by a car on the interstate that night. I was glad I stopped when I did
-
A couple years ago I was stranded at my parents house for 3 days over Christmas due to snow
-
When I was in high school I went on a theater trip to London with the American Institute of Foreign Study. As we left there was a ground crew strike Our flight home was delayed 13 hours and hour at a time. It was misery.
-
My nephew had the scariest. He was studying in London when 9/11 happened. So he was 18 or 19 years old and had no idea when he was going to be able to go home. Some of the people in his group left as soon as the planes started flying, but he stuck it out and was glad he did
-
New topic of the day: Have you ever been stranded somewhere because of the weather - if so, where and for how long?
I was stranded in a restaurant for 9 hours after the area was hit by an Alberta Clipper.
Back in the 80s, I was on a bus trip with some fellow forensics people in Fergus Falls after they closed the interstate, We here stuck at a truck stop for two day.
The flood of 1997... Grand Forks was evacuated and we had 25 people in my parents house. It was crowded to say the least.
-
And I am off to City Center!
-
The garage door repair man was going to be coming between 4 and 6. Just got a call that there is crew in the area and they'll be here in about 15 minutes. Cool. Hope they can fix it
-
I have no stranded adventures......

I have no stranded adventures......
How about unseemly ones? :)

The New, Improved TOD:
I can't remember actually being stranded because of weather, myself. There have been a couple of delays for other reasons, but the worst of those I can recall (a change of airplanes due to some malfunction) held me up for maybe four hours, causing me to miss a friend's wedding but getting me there for the reception and partying, and that was all fine.
That having been said ... this Sunday's weather forecasts are sounding a little threatening, and I'd like to hope I won't be stranded trying to get back home from City Center! :)
-

Sadly, I don't think the majority will know or notice the difference.
I disagree. They always made a big deal about having a live band. I think people will notice. I don't know if they will be super mad. But I think most will notice.

This makes me sad :( 31 years ago! I know exactly where I was when I heard.

Oh, and Good Morning

Today, we have the singing auditions for our 8th grade musical. We are doing Dear Edwina which is one of my favorite shows ever. However, some 8th grade parents don't think so - they think their children have been slighted by doing an off-broadway play instead of a Broadway play. I heard this through the principal - who is also a friend of mine - and I had to laugh. If the parents ever want to complain to me, I'll just tell them the truth - the difference between a Broadway show and an Off-Broadway show is basically 500+ more seats in a theatre and a 10+ million dollar budget. Then, if they don't like that answer, we can go into shows that started off-broadway and then moved to Broadway and won a Tony for best musical. Notice, there is nothing about the quality of the work here? I hate parents....
-
Tonight, I'm seeing The Australian Bee Gees Show which is billed as a "Multi Media Tribute Show". I have a subscription to Broadway San Jose this year, and this is one of the shows. I'll be sure to report back!

Saturday Night Fever page 3 dance!

Well, you've read the notes, the notes mentioned Kritzerland at Sterling's 42, and now it is time for you to post until the 42 cows come home.
42...the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything (http://www.amazon.com/Life-Universe-Everything-Conclusion-Hitchhikers/dp/B000F6UBEO/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1391541483&sr=1-3&keywords=life+the+universe+and+everything)!

I think maybe the parents are not upset that it is actually an off-broadway show. They are probably meaning that they wish it was a more famous/popular show that everyone knew.

And feel free to post photos of Dear Cat Minny!!!
Here's a photo of Minny The Cat after he decided to end a book report.

I am sure that must not be Minny's best side.

Revised TOD:
Not really stranded, I guess, but was at the Portland airport overnight last time I flew to NYC as the incoming flight was grounded due to weather.
The airport is very quiet and deserted at 3 am.
-
Don't know if I mentioned it the other week, but I watched a new Punjabi film which was a remake(ish) of THE NOTEBOOK.
I cried.

A Book Report on Peter Rabbit? :)

Minny says it is done!

T.O.D.
"Dear Friend" from SHE LOVES ME!

No snow yet.
The more I think about the link that DR DAKOTA CELT posted, the more upset I get. And now this woman is STILL a university employee, gets an office, gets nearly $300,000 in compensation over the next two years AND gets a "glowing" recommendation from people who want her GONE....
She knows how to use the system for sure. I think if the university really cared, they would hang to the cost and let her take them to court. She is obviously in the wrong.
-
Those of us in the Pacific Northwest are starting to get our own Artic Blast this week. This will be the first really cold tmeperatures that we have had since early December. Tonight our temperatures will drop into the mid-twenties, and beginning tomorrow night into the teens.
Sorry, but that is as cold as it gets around here. There is a possibility of some snow on Saturday, but the temps would have to warm up again for that to happen.
-
I sent an email to NDSU about my thoughts....but of course, it will mean nothing to them.

So is anyone going to watch the debate between Bill Nye, the Science Guy and Ken Ham, Creationist (http://debatelive.org/)? The official topic of their debate is, "Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern, scientific era?" It'll be available on YouTube for free for a while afterward, or you can pre-order the debate on DVD or digital download. It starts today at 4:00 PM Pacific time (7:00 PM Eastern). I'll still be here at work, so I can't, but I'll watch some of it tonight. I'm sure that it'll be very interesting.
-
Here's an article about the debate:

I don't want to alarm you DR DAN M - but I think Minny is planning on taking over the world.

I survived my stress test and nuclear imaging this afternoon, but have to stay away from airports, Federal buildings, and junkyards where I may set off the radiation alarms. That's in effect for 3 days, so the winter weather may help me cope with the restriction.
My new cardiologist will discuss the results of today's test with me on February 21.

As frustrating as it is, what I am guessing has happened is that the school, particularly whomever is this gals boss, did not take correct action in disciplining her and they know that if it goes to court, they will lose even more money.
It is horrible that this woman is getting such a seemingly good deal, but hopefully her prospects of ever being hired by anyone else are slim to none. Even with the letter of recomendation, this story itself will make any potential employer think twice, and it will be easily found when they google her after her first interview! So, there is some justice, thanks to the paper that published this!!!!
-
Now that is a good cat snap, DR Dan M!!
-
I'm up. Went to the car place a little earlier than my appointment. Then I went and had some breakfast. The car place called and said the car was ready, but that I needed new rear tires - they'd told me they were getting close to having to be replaced back in December, and the time had come, so I gave them the go-ahead. There were a couple of other really minor things, and they weren't going to finish till the end of the day, so I got a loaner and came home. I'll either go back there at six-thirty after the traffic or in the morning.
-
When I got home, I futzed and finessed yesterday's fifteen pages. That took over ninety minutes - I added things, I smoothed things out, and I thought it read very well when I got done doing all that - I wrote about a page of new stuff, and now I'm going on from there.
-
I think you are probably right DR MBARNUM......but a few emails to let them know how we feel can't hurt.
I am sure the reply will be along "we do not comment on personnel issues" lines, if I get a reply at all.
-
Back, from: Petco, Shop Rite, Stew Leonard's, and Cold Stone Creamery -- with birthday dinner supplies for a friend and storm shopping done.
-
I've done five pages and just ended the penultimate chapter. I'll begin the final chapter in a little while. Knowing me, this may turn into a real marathon writing day and I may just go until I finish, probably seventeen pages to go - if not, definitely tomorrow. Happily, the hard part's done - I added a couple of things, one of which made me laugh really hard, and one of which I found very touching.
-
Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.
-
Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.
I second that, especially when what I'm laughing about is something stupid/dumb that I should "know better" or something I've seen or heard many times, yet I can't stop laughing, such as "There ain't no sanity clause", etc. It's even more enjoyable when the laughter comes about unannounced and you find yourself in the midst of it.

Here's my DC Minny making me laugh; he really loves his treats!:

When I get home from grocery shopping, Minny either knows there are treats in the bag or maybe he even smells them, but he gets very rambunctious until he gets a couple to snack on!

Sorry, DR George! I don't care. While I believe in - and sometimes think I possess - faith and respect people's religions, I think that the people supporting creationism over scientific evidence are both morons and white supremist bigots, to believe that "God's word" in the traditional Bible is true, accurate, and definite over the beliefs of other religions and cultures. To me there's no debate; it's man of education arguing with a fool.
If my statements here have offended anyone, I do apologize, but I greatly resent this theory of creation becoming a part of the curriculum, and this is another reason why I support any races that will educate the ignorant and misinformed.
-
Done around nine pages so far. Part of me wants to get my car back tonight, and part of me wants to not drive back to Glendale, but hopefully the traffic will be lighter by six-fifteen, which is when I'd have to leave.
-
Horrible day today, as far as allergies go. They haven't let me have a moment's rest all day. Thankfully, I worked from home.
-
MBarnum, how did your Punjabi version of "The Notebook" end? The book's ending was so horribly bad, I must have laughed for a solid half hour.
-
DR Vixmom and DR Singdaw, I have finally caught up with your posts and enjoyed them all! I have been trying to make a gluten-free pizza crust in the in-between times. Some of you may know, gluten-free dough doesn't behave like regular dough and presents a challenge in each step: the mixing/making, rising and par-baking. But then again, I'm not that conversant in the kitchen, but I do the best I can.
-
DR Dakota it was nice to see you. I hope you won't stay away so long next time.
MEGA JOB VIBES!!!!

DR Dakota, I forgot to say I hope that horrid woman never has a job where she can torture employees again. I have known people to work under bosses like that and how very difficult it is. Unfortunately you were trapped there.
-
And I am home from a good day in many ways and a frustrating one in others. Among the good things: my taxes are finished, I can finish scanning Act Two of the P/C for JUBILEE on Thursday and spend the rest of the day and Friday printing out vocal scores, and I had a lot of fun at the LITTLE ME rehearsal. I sat with Bruce Pomahac, Ted Chapin's daughter Anika, and Rob's assistant on the Steve Martin bluegrass workshop. The show is going to be wonderful.
Bad: the ridiculous amount of traffic in this City, most of it needless. I spent far too much on taxis today because of too many fools in private cars. If I were dictator, this City would only allow traffic to be public transportation, delivery vehicles, construction vehicles, taxis, and emergency vehicles. It's a pity I'm not.
-
New topic of the day: Have you ever been stranded somewhere because of the weather - if so, where and for how long?
Aside from all the times we were snowbound? Even then we weren't truly snowbound as we could go for a walk or sledding.
I have been stranded at airports due to rain or snow storms but always got out after 5-7 hours. If the entire airport is shut down be smart, which I was, and stock up on food before they sell out. This is especially important if you are traveling with two young children and are vegetarians.
-
The garage door repair man was going to be coming between 4 and 6. Just got a call that there is crew in the area and they'll be here in about 15 minutes. Cool. Hope they can fix it
Good thing you stayed home.

She knows how to use the system for sure. I think if the university really cared, they would hang to the cost and let her take them to court. She is obviously in the wrong.
You are so right, DR JRand63! Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth; well, really! Who wants it after you've been forced to eat it by the little foxes?

As Carly Rae Jepsen goes on in CINDERELLA, I think this is a repeat - but here are the Muppets and Cookie Monster doing SHARE IT MAYBE

It will be interesting to see if viewers are upset.
Sadly, I don't think the majority will know or notice the difference.
I disagree. They always made a big deal about having a live band. I think people will notice. I don't know if they will be super mad. But I think most will notice.
I will notice and I don't like it one bit

And, the snow has arrived, along with Page 5.

When I was in college I transferred from Kansas to Iowa after my sophomore year. I drove back to KU to visit one year and on the way back I got stranded in Kearny, Mo. I waited really longer than I should have to pull off the interstate, but there was just no going any farther. I went from hotel to hotel trying to find a room, but everything was full.....except the Kam Ron Inn. I had a room, the phone was down the hall, the closet was the pipe coming off the water heater and there were holes in the walls that were covered with duct tape. But, it was clean, it was warm and dry and it had a TV. The next morning the show was up to my knees but I was able to get the car out and get on my way. I did hear on the news that someone was hit by a car on the interstate that night. I was glad I stopped when I did
I hate those really deep shows, too.
LOL, Show, snow, potato potahto
-
Aughghghghghghgh!

When I came out of the grocery store this afternoon, the Western half of the sky was bright blue and the Eastern half of the sky was a gray snow sky. Since the two skies met right above me, I got snowed on for a few minutes.

So, Bryn Terfel is finally doing Sweeney and with Emma Thompson as Lovett. Sounds like fun, even if Elmore's favorite director, Lonny Price, is back in charge. Thankfully, no Victoria Clark in the cast.
-
DR elmore--I'm glad to hear that Little Me is going to be wonderful! I'm looking forward to it.
-
I'm not looking forward to the weather, though. I understand there's a chance of a storm Sunday night and Monday in DC and NY. I may have an answer for today's topic a week from today!
-
Congrats on another successful show, BK!
-

Lonny Price does well by Sondheim; otherwise, I believe, he knows the living Sondheim will kick the living crap out of him. I'm sure this production will be similar to the broadcast he directed with Lupone and George Hearn, and it isn't bad.
-
Great photos of Minny, DR Dan M!
-
Garage door is fixed. They also replaced the springs. One was starting to go and the other looked ok, but it made more sense to just replace them. If the spring goes you can't open the door at all. More money than I wanted to spend, but it's pretty much as good as new now and has a 5 year warranty
-
DR elmore--I'm glad to hear that Little Me is going to be wonderful! I'm looking forward to it.
Listen carefully; the script is outrageously funny with hysterical throwaway lines. I think Christian Borle is amazing. I've thought so since SPAMALOT, but he's so wonderful!

That's great. I watched mine, but I have no idea how to share it.
-
I think you are probably right DR MBARNUM......but a few emails to let them know how we feel can't hurt.
I am sure the reply will be along "we do not comment on personnel issues" lines, if I get a reply at all.
It is pretty disgusting after all she's done that she is still getting so much money!
-
Interesting that the Olympics are starting early Thursday morning (eastern time) and yet the Opening Ceremonies are only on Friday morning. I think this is dumb.
-
It's 9 hours difference between Sochi and Eastern time zone. So i guess all Olympic events will be over by 11pm Sochi/2pm Eastern.

Finally got around to reading the horror story that you've endured at the library, DakotaCelt. May you never face the likes of that again.
I've worked for people with great ideas but they went about implementing them in the worst way possible. And the results were disastrous.

Here is the movie for Callie Ricky Boo. There is a button in the upper right of the screen when you watch your movie that says "Share" if you click that it goes on your time line. Then you click, and when it opens, go to options and get the link and post it here!

And I am home from a good day in many ways and a frustrating one in others. Among the good things: my taxes are finished, I can finish scanning Act Two of the P/C for JUBILEE on Thursday and spend the rest of the day and Friday printing out vocal scores, and I had a lot of fun at the LITTLE ME rehearsal. I sat with Bruce Pomahac, Ted Chapin's daughter Anika, and Rob's assistant on the Steve Martin bluegrass workshop. The show is going to be wonderful.
Bad: the ridiculous amount of traffic in this City, most of it needless. I spent far too much on taxis today because of too many fools in private cars. If I were dictator, this City would only allow traffic to be public transportation, delivery vehicles, construction vehicles, taxis, and emergency vehicles. It's a pity I'm not.
then I would have to stop driving into the city
-

Finishing the book.
hmmmm. "Finishing the book."
Catchy.

Well, here we sit on the east coast, waiting for the next THING to arrive. No one's sure how much we'll get, but we're assured it's going to get ugly.
-
Oh, my. I'm looking at the radar, and it's a monster. I've been busy all evening and hadn't listened or checked earlier. It literally stretches halfway across the country.

Not quite ready to say the title yet. Called Muse Margaret and told her it was done - she'll get it before noon tomorrow. Then went and celebrated with Sami and her mom.
-
No snow yet.
The more I think about the link that DR DAKOTA CELT posted, the more upset I get. And now this woman is STILL a university employee, gets an office, gets nearly $300,000 in compensation over the next two years AND gets a "glowing" recommendation from people who want her GONE....
She knows how to use the system for sure. I think if the university really cared, they would hang to the cost and let her take them to court. She is obviously in the wrong.
I agree...
However, the article will haunt her. It will follow her and she does nto have a good rep.
She hurt alot of people. I am not happy that she is on the payroll.

In 1995 Vixdad went to work in Greenbelt, MD while we were still living on LI - he came home Friday nights and went back on Sundays

I hope so too but it has been frustrating on the job front.
however, I have gotten some writing done and nearly done with a novel.. Uncertain what my next step will be with it when I do the rework and editing.
-
DR Dakota, I forgot to say I hope that horrid woman never has a job where she can torture employees again. I have known people to work under bosses like that and how very difficult it is. Unfortunately you were trapped there.
It took a long time for the acid reflux to get under control. Before I got out I was on meds for that and starting to show signs of high blood pressure. What bugs me also is that NDSU said at the time: WE are a right to work state and we can do what ever we want.
MY question is what happened to the humanity?
-
His company decided to host nice post Christmas/post New Years holiday party. They rented a really nice restaurant in Washington DC a couple of blocks from the Capitol. They also paid for a block of rooms at a really nice hotel - we ended up with a beautiful room with a view of the Capitol building and a huge marble bathroom

I agree and I remember they weren't very supportive of DR Dakota.
I think it will come back and bite the university.. Taxpayers will not be happy. This will be the third or foruth admin in the last few years that the university has had to pay off.
-
The party was fun, the food amazing, the hotel room beautiful. When the party was ending, about midnight, there was a light but steady snow falling and we walked the couple of blocks back to the hotel delighting in the beauty and the romance

When we woke in the morning we couldn't see the Capitol building any more - we couldn't see ANYTHING out of the window just a giant whirl of white flakes. So we went down to the lobby restaurant for breakfast and were a little surprised to see the same desk clerk that had checked us in still at the desk
-
Then we glanced out the front door- feet of snow and no sign of stopping and not a plow in sight
-
The clerk explained that they customarily waited for the snow to stop before sending out plows
-
good plan

At least it was a nice hotel, Vixmom

the snow did not stop. I 95 was closed. Not that I coudl have gotten to it as my car was in the underground parking garage and the doors to said garage were completely blocked by snow as was every street in Washington DC...
-
I was certain that my boss (former job) was going to be very upset with me for not getting back and then I saw they closed Manhattan because of snow.. my boss understood
-
On Wednesday we finally made it out of Washington and back to Greenbelt and the Holiday Inn that was int eh same parking lot as Vixdad's office - that afternoon they reopened I95 and I hightailed it out of there as another storm threatened - finally made it back to work on Thursday

We were petrified about the cost of the hotel - the job had reserved the block of rooms so they were only $125 for the one night - but we were there for days... and the sign ont eh back of the door said room were usually $350---
but we were very lucky . the hotel honored the lower price per night for the whole stay and then Vixdad's office reimbursed him for the whole time
The rest of the people in his office, being local folks, had checked out after the party and headed home when the storm hit so we had no one else to hang out with .. we ended up wandering over to a sports bar next door that had a trivia game going on for a good part of most days

Nice!
Question for Cilla: There of Callie that Callie posted on FB. Where was that picture taken. It is like she is peaking from behind something. What kind of camera did you use? Nice picture!

The one of Ricky that's half a face? He was peeking behind my computer monitor. I don't know if I used my phone or my little Olympus digital camera. It wasn't a fancy camera. I did edit it to increase the saturation of the color, but that's about it

Thanks, DakotaCelt! Tonight's show was pretty good. I didn't realize that there are two actors switching off playing Piglet. Tonight, actor number 2 rehearsed. He gives a very different performance than actor number 1 (who's a woman), but they both give very good performances. It's going to be a delightful show.

Can we save it?
My browser has a "Download the video" link in the upper right hand of the video when I hover my cursor over it while it's playing. I was able to save my video, and any other video, if I wanted (or were asked).

All of these FB videos are pretty cool!
