Well, you've read the notes, the notes had choreography, and now it is time for you to post until the choreographed cows come home.

And the word of the day is: AGNIZE!

First after BK! Huzzah!

Today is Saturday. It is a work day. Oh well. My nephew Danny is going on a kayak trip down the river somewhere in Ohio, so I get to work with my sister Molly today!
Which is a good thing. I don't think we've worked a day together for awhile.

There is something wrong between the modem and the router and the computer in the living room. I disconnected everything and now the modem connection is directly into my computer. Maybe I can figure it out tomorrow.

Thanks DR VIXMOM....I got it. I shall have it on its way shortly.

TOD:
7th Grade Spring Dance. It was most enjoyable. I also ran the record player, so I got to pick most of the tunes.

good morning to all

And the word of the day is: AGNIZE!
That was a enjoyable tv series with Donna Pescow, Robert Hayes and Doris Roberts.
Let the time flow; Let the love grow
Let the rain shower; Let the rose flower
Love, it seeks; Love, it finds
Love, it conquers; Love, it binds
We come to each other from different worlds
Drawn to each other by the love inside of us
We give to each other our different worlds
Long as we can do it
Life, we're gonna breeze right through it
Let the time flow; Let the love grow
Let the rain shower; Let the rose flower
Love, it seeks; Love, it finds
Love, it conquers; Love, it binds
Love, it seeks and Love, it finds
Love, it conquers
Love, it binds-ahhhhhh
Love, it seeks; Love, it finds
Love, it conquers; Love, it binds

To paraphrase the Jerome Kern song
I can't dance, don't ask me

Good morning, all! I will very shortly hop into a taxi and head to Toyland. I've got a lot of items to cart there and so the taxi will be good. After that, I'll head to my pharmacy for a prescription for the nightly pains in my legs.
When I get home, I'll see what new fresh hell has turned up.
-
Good morning, all.
Slept fine till early morning when one of the most ridiculous dreams yet started up. I woke up once, went back to sleep, and I seemed to be able to change the setting a couple of times, but the overall gist of the dream persisted. It was, finally, a relief to just get the hell up.
Coffee!

I don't remember the time of year or the occasion, but I, too, was in the seventh grade and the dance was held in the school courtyard. The event is memorable for being when I was introduced to the Twist, and I sort of tried but was utterly incapable of moving the right way. I later bought sheet music to one or two of the Chubby Checker songs (I remember Peppermint Twist being one of the titles), and found that playing those simplistic arrangements on the piano was no less humiliating than trying to dance it.
-
I love the LI'L ABNER notes, and the only reason I'm not asking questions is BK's need to speak in general terms for the nonce. And with a month to go, it's going to be a long nonce. But it's great to hear about the progress even in those general terms, and I truly wish I could be there to witness it.
I'll just ask: BK, does LACC (or perhaps you yourself) tape these productions for posterity? If it's not a regular thing, do you have any intention?
(Please, please, please, please, please...)
-
I said "tape", but what is the term these days? We don't "tape" things any more, and we certainly don't "film" them. We could say "record", but that would be too easily taken to mean only audio.
My guess is it's still the accepted term.
-
Don't forget:
RECORD STORE DAY.
Drop into your local vinyl emporium for five minutes. They'll appreciate it. Unless it's a truly unappealing jernt catering ONLY to kids, you will, too. And I suspect jernts that extreme are few and far between.
-
And with that, I must be off.
I've got a busy day, in which I will be out and about, here and there, and hither and yon. Between all of those, I haven't a chance of going near a computer, so I will look forward to enjoying a nice helping of ketchup this evening.

Greetings from Toyland!
I had a bit of a problem logging onto the internet this morning, but I rebooted the modem and we are in business.

Saturday morning greetings! Fr. Richard has been called to the hospital bedside of a parishioner who had emergency surgery last night. Vibes & prayers for Mr. B would be appreciated.

TOD:
Senior prom 1980.
I was the only guy in white tie and tails. The rest were in powdered blue and other pastel colors. Blech. The band knew only one slow song, so we had "Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady" played more than three times. They were far better versed in other classics of the day: "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" and "Play that Funky Music, White Boy."

Hello All:
TOD:
My high School Senior Prom!

Goodbye for now!

I'm up, I'm up and will be jogging shortly.

I will definitely have the production taped for archival purposes.

How will we not on the west coast be able to view this archive?

Two!

Started watching the new version of Parade's End this morning. Love the way that Tom Stoppard has managed to get some of the non-linear storytelling of the novels into mini-series as well as the humor, some of which is quite nasty indeed. Great cast. I hope they get into the last book, which the first miniseries, with Judi Dench, ignored.
Unfortunately, I have a freelance article to get to.

And of course the paper.

Wonderful. Mrs. Lovett as a cross between Hazel and That Girl. With a little cannibalism thrown in for good measure.

I've wondered about that, too, whether it's even possible to do that. Skip hasn't heard anything on the subject of recording, although there may be some different cast members in the two shows (?).

That just made me picture Robert Hays as Sweeney. That's not a thought I need to have. Somehow, I can more accept Donna Pescow as Nellie.

And it's time to leave Toyland. I did not accomplish all that I meant to, because I forgot to bring something with me. Damn!
I've got to head to the pharmacy now.

Not sure how I feel about this story from AOL News.
Teen suspended for asking Miss America to the prom
YORK, Pa. (AP) - A Pennsylvania high school student is in hot water for asking Miss America to prom during a question and answer session at school.
Eighteen-year-old Patrick Farves said he received three days of in-school suspension Thursday because he asked Nina Davuluri to prom.
The senior at Central York High School stood up and popped the prom question, then walked to the stage with a plastic flower. Davuluri just laughed and the students cheered.
School officials heard about Farves' plan in advance and warned him not to do it. He has apologized for disrupting the event.
The school says students are disciplined for breaking rules and this incident is no different.
Davuluri was at the school to talk with students about diversity and the importance of science, technology, engineering and math studies.
-
I think suspending the kid is a bit overboard. Yes they told him not to do it. But why suspend him?
-
Thank you to DRs Singdaw, John G, FJL, and Jennifer for the kind thoughts for Mr. B. Unfortunately, he passed away early this afternoon, with Fr. Richard and a large extended family at his side. They will all need our thoughts and prayers now, especially Mrs. B. She is also in very poor health.
-
Oh my. Vibes to that entire family.

Thank you, DR ChasSmith.

Back from a poached egg and English muffin, and picking up a couple of packages.

Thanks to the MTA, it took me 40 minutes waiting for a No7 bus and my trip to the pharmacy, because of Sixth Avenue trffic,took anther 30 minutes, but i have the meds, and I am home, pondering dinner. Perhaps Chinese.

Suspended for asking Miss America to the prom? He didn't mug her, he didn't molest her, and I think it was charming. What the hell is wrong with education these days?

DR Jeanne thanks for the Helms link. They don't exactly state the recipes are from the original Helms Bakery only that they are "expecting the delightful doughnut-and-cream-puff-gloriousness of yesterday".
Also, thank you for not commenting I wrote clothes instead of close-lol

I used to love Robert Hayes, not only in AIRPLANE, but in the various TV series in which he appeared. Judging from his recent photo on line, he is aging about as wlll as I am.

According to what was posted he wasn't suspended for asking her to prom. he was suspended because the principal knew of his plans in advance. And the kid was told NOT TO DO IT. I get that there should be some consequences for disobeying. But suspension?

And now, I'm off to my parents' house to celebrate my niece's 30th birthday. Her actual birthday was on Thursday, the 17th, but everyone was off doing different things, so today's the party day. It'll be very low key and just the families. She did invite her (very-religiously-conservative and not-very-accepting) father and his family so that she could celebrate with her half-sister.
My niece is gay and doesn't have any problem with it...but her father does. It's totally his problem.

Greetings, all,
I hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday.
I am off to another rehearsal, but this one will be tinged with a very unsettling event. Yesterday we got the news that the composer of the vampire musical was in a fatal car accident a few days back. He was not someone I knew well at all. I only met him a couple of brief times, but he was working on the changes each rehearsal brought. We seem to be going forward with this project anyway. Perhaps it will be a way to honor him. It just feels terribly odd.
If nothing else, it reminds me that the time we have with those we love is to be treasured. And we should always let them know how much we care for them.
Have a lovely evening, and may you and all of your loved ones stay safe and cherished.

No one said anything about having the original recipes, but Sherry Yard is an associate of Wolfgang Puck's and I think we can assume from that that she's quite a skilled chef. They are trying to bring back the old-time flavors and ambiance. How well they succeed is to be determined, but I'm glad to see them attempting it.
Once they're up and running maybe BK will meet me there for a little tasting. I think it'll be fun to check out in any case.

OK, not great. How are you doing, Tom?

I guess I am feeling okay. I decided that if being in this show would help these young actors, then I owed it to them and the community to give back.

Larry, does your health insurance/Medicare plan provide any transportation benefits? I just signed up for a plan and was pleasantly surprised to see that included for medical purposes (doctor, pharmacy). It wouldn't cover your trips to Toyland, but might make life a bit easier just the same.

I only met him a couple of brief times, but he was working on the changes each rehearsal brought. We seem to be going forward with this project anyway. Perhaps it will be a way to honor him. It just feels terribly odd.
If nothing else, it reminds me that the time we have with those we love is to be treasured. And we should always let them know how much we care for them.
Have a lovely evening, and may you and all of your loved ones stay safe and cherished.
What a horrible story. What was his name?
-
Jane, I really doubt anyone has the old Helm's recipes - the closest I've ever found to a Helm's chocolate donut is Entenmmen's or however you spell it.
Entenmann's (I looked up the spelling) really! I wonder if I would still love the Helms donuts if I had one today.
No one said anything about having the original recipes, but Sherry Yard is an associate of Wolfgang Puck's and I think we can assume from that that she's quite a skilled chef. They are trying to bring back the old-time flavors and ambiance. How well they succeed is to be determined, but I'm glad to see them attempting it.
Once they're up and running maybe BK will meet me there for a little tasting. I think it'll be fun to check out in any case.
I look forward to your report.
:) We may have to mail you a sample.

Larry, does your health insurance/Medicare plan provide any transportation benefits? I just signed up for a plan and was pleasantly surprised to see that included for medical purposes (doctor, pharmacy). It wouldn't cover your trips to Toyland, but might make life a bit easier just the same.
I wasn't aware insurance plans had this option. It is a good one, especially if you live alone. Does Los Angeles still have the inexpensive van service for people with a disability? My sister used it for awhile. I believe you need to get pre-approved.
-
One of the lead characters in the script I'm writing for my master's project is named J.C. Don't know why. Maybe because it's letter off J.B. and since I can't forget the bird, eternally shrieking in my ear, I thought I couldn't forget the name J.C. either.
-
My sympathies to Mr. B's family and prayers for Mrs. B.
-
I'm pleased that you're doing another production. what changed your mind?
I guess I am feeling okay. I decided that if being in this show would help these young actors, then I owed it to them and the community to give back.
That's nice. I am sorry though that you are angry when you leave.
Well, if it happens again tonight, I will probably explode.

There's a program, but from what I heard it's fraught with problems. Last summer when I couldn't drive I found a private company that was very helpful. They have quite a few regular passengers--seniors who are in pretty good shape but no longer drive--who use it for grocery shopping or trips to the doc. They have a lot of passengers who were disgusted with the government program.
Like all insurance benefits, it's only for medically-necessary trips and there's a limit, but I think it's a very good idea.

Vibes for tonight's show, Tom.

TTFN.

Sounds good! Please send some egg bagels and a corn rye with it ;)

VIBES IT DOESN'T HAPPEN!!!!!

Thursday night, while I was at the theater, we had an exciting (?) event transpire. Either a tonado, or more likely a microburst, touched down a block from my apartment in Point Defiance Park.

Thanks, Jeanne.

Was the private company reasonably priced or just reliable?
-
Now that I am done doing laundry for the day I will find some photos of our time in DC to share.

Still on Page Four?
-
The wind died down enough to get a few good photos of the Cherry Blossoms behind us. There are a few photos with my hair blowing in all directions-lol
That is the Jefferson Memorial in the background.
-
This was the best day weather wise, not too hot as it was the day we arrived and not cold and wet as it was the next day.
-
I liked this view of the cherry tree.
-
I took this photo a little while ago. Can you see the faint rainbow across the mountains?
-
What a day this was. It poured and poured. We met Craig for breakfast and visited a bit at his place before leaving him to study and go to his class while we went to a movie. Craig couldn't get out early and was late picking us up to meet his friends for dinner. Fortunately it all worked out and we met them at a casual place for drinks and a light dinner before going to the White House. We did a lot of walking in the cold wind and rain in light weight clothes but it was worth it. We had a good time.
When Craig was in Romania in the Peace Corps he had 5 American tv shows he could watch and was grateful for them. One was The West Wing. He was excited to be in the Press Room which made being there extra fun.

Blackberry cobbler made for tomorrow. Now I can rest and work on my paper.

YUM!!!

Thank you for the kind words for Mrs. B and her family. I suspect we'll have a trip to Lima sometime in the coming week, but Fr. Richard doesn't expect to hear anything before Monday.
I've had a very relaxing day, but he's exhausted.

I would think he would be exhausted.

Nice photos, DR Jane!

Thank you DR Ginny.

Good evening. I thought of BK this morning when the renters in the house across the street began BOOM-BOOM-BOOMING their music at 4:30 a.m. I gave up trying to sleep.
Good thing, because there was an unexpected tapping at my door at 6:03 a.m. by a young neighbor who came to help bake some rolls for the Easter morning breakfast. I told her that was TOMORROW.
So we went hiking up the mountain. We left the mountain too late for the church easter egg coloring, so we bought some eggs and dye and she boiled/colored two dozen eggs at my house. After that, I got her to wade in the pond to do some maintenance, which she thought was thrilling.
A nice day.
-
Your post made me smile :)
-
Sounds like a great day, Laura.

I forgot to post this earlier in the week, but I was at a meeting on Wednesday or Thursday with several fairly high-ranking people at the company. The subject was social media and the lone woman in the room was talking about Twitter or sending a tweet. She wanted the past tense of tweet, but instead she used a vulgar term for a woman's private parts.
And an awkward silence descended on the room. Someone finally changed the topic and we went on. Her face was beet red when she realized what she had said.
I felt bad for her then. Still do, but I am now laughing at it all, too.
-
LOL-Poor woman.

Bruce who is Art Aratin?

What a horrible story. What was his name?
So sorry to have brought such difficult news here. It was just hard not to think about it in the scheme of everything.
His name is Brian Leader. We are indeed pressing on and doing the reading.
-
Six!

Thanks, RYacko, and again, my sympathies to your whole cast and crew.

Thank you, John G. and all of the other DR's who sent their good wishes and sympathies. I will indeed pass them on.
-
Good evening, folks.
-
I arrived home at 8;02 p.m. Even for a play that runs one hour and twenty minutes and starts at 7:00 p.m., this would be some kind of record.
-
For the first time (I believe), in my 58 year career, we cancelled a performance of a show, thus proving that the show does NOT alsways go on. Around 6:45, the young man who plays my grandson came over and sat down next to where I was sitting. "Madelynne is hurt," he says.
Huh? What do you mean she is hurt?
"Well, she bent her little finger all the way backwards. I think she broke it," he says. "She said I did it, but I didn't."
Did you tell Scott (our stage manager, our director, and the Artistic Director of the theater)?
"Uh no," he says.
-
Finally Scott comes around to give us the five minutes call.
Not so fast, Scott. You have an injured cast member.
For the next ten minutes or so, eveybody is running around like chickens minus heads.
Finally Madelynne says she thinks she can go on. The curtain speech is given, the opening music plays, and the girls go on laughing and talking.Five minutes into the scene, Scott comes running into the green room. "Where is Madelynne, he says.
She is onstage.
"Oh no she isn't," says Scott.
-
Sure enogh, Madelynne is found throwing up in the bathroom, while the other three actors onstage are trying to cover the missing lines. Well, this isn't going to work, so Scott goes out and stops the scene and announces their will be a delay. After a 15 minute delay, the show is cancelled, the money refunded, parents are called, and Madelynne goes off to either the ER or the Doc-in-a-Box.
It wouldn't have been so bad, but there were a couple of reviewers in the house. Everyone said they would return another day, but judging by the look on Scott's face, I am not sure he believes that.

My, DR TCB. :P
It sounds like they didn't follow THIS cardinal rule:

So - did you leave the theatre angry tonight?

Shouldn't that be preceded by "Lions and tigers, and bears."

Your good work never ends, Debby.

then i went home and Vixdad took me to IHOP--- I had two crepes with carmelized bananas and "foster" sauce with crushed pecans
its not on the menu... but they made it for me ... its good to be a 'regular" (and a good tipper)
-
Too bad the Catholics are the only ones offering sainthood.
-
then as we were on the way home the Vixter texted me that her 'add oil" light was on, so we stopped at an auto store and bought oi then went up to church where she was working and added 3 quarts of oil!
time for the child to take an auto maintenance class, me thinks
-
well I hvae to be up early I am assisting at the first Easter service
-
Too bad the Catholics are the only ones offering sainthood.
I play a small part in that the planning the food donations those are all other people
-
Happy Easter!
-
Good night, Vixmom!
-
Back from the Seder, which was much fun - delightful people for the most part. The drive was long both ways - an hour or so going and about forty-five minutes coming back. But really only one seven mile bad stretch.
-
DELIGHTFUL PEOPLE FOR THE MOST PART. That is the name of my next novel.
