Well, you've read the notes, the notes were unattractive and fruity, and now it is time for you to post until the unattractive cows come home.

Good morning, all! I have a long day today.  I'll work here on my ROBERTA liner notes until I leave for physical therapy, go directly from there to the back/sports injuries specialist for an EMG, come home and chill, then head out to see Rosemary Ashe, who in from London. Come home and crash. I had forgotten that our DR ChasSmith will be in town todayfor IRMA LA DOUCE, and I'm sorry that I won't have a chance to visit with him.

I finally got a lot of sleep last night, around nine hours' worth, so I'm feeling rather good today.  I think I'm still in shock that it's May 7 already!

Good morning, all.

I happen to love persimmons and generally keep about six in the freezer for when I need them. In nature, they're not ripe until the first frost, so popping them in freezer does the same trick: It causes the sugars to flow, creating a fruit that is extraordinarily sweet and silky in texture with just a touch of tartness. They're a great addition to pies or pumpkin soup.

The most unattractively named fruit is, of course, the ugli fruit (not terrible, but not to my taste at all... stick with the persimmons).

Speaking of Hal David, DR Mike, Ella Fitzgerald has a wonderful, creamy version of "Candy" on her "Twelve Nights in Hollywood" compilation. She sang it because he was in the audience one night, but she doesn't know the lyrics -- and it doesn't matter. I don't think I've ever heard the song sung better. Just delicious.

Poor Sami has to go in for a brain scan today - her brother slammed a door shut and unfortunately Sami's head was in the way - he didn't see her there.  That was three days ago and her head has hurt her sporadically so better safe than sorry - she probably has a minor concussion.  She'll still probably come to rehearsal but she won't have to do anything strenuous tonight.

And I am home from physical therapy and my EMG on my lower back and legs, wherein I was prodded, poked, and pricked. It was either electrodes or needles and both hurt and were unpleasant. I was also lying on a narrow table far too narrow for all the turns I had to make.

I like my doctor, who's Vietnamese, I think, but he's very young and has little sense of humor. At one point, he said, I have to change the needle, and I replied, I feel like a gramophone. Zip! Right over Wilt Chamberlain's head.

Because of my schedule for this month, my next appointment with him is on June 2. After a cursory examination of the exam, he said that he believed some of the nerve damage is diabetes related but that a lot of damage seems to have occurred years ago. I suspect there's another MRI in my future.

If you click on the photo it gets really big-lol.  As far as I can tell this did not provide access to the rest of our photos.  If I'm wrong, please let me know.

That is Keith's beer on the table.  I'm holding two phones in case our friends call.  So far they have only text.

If you look closely you can see why the deck will be refinished next week.

Well I just opened a flyer received in today's mail and it states that we won a  55" flat screen television ---

 no purchase necessary  must collect in person at the local car dealership

It states the chances of winning  at 1:60,000   


So I am going to mosey over to the car dealership top see if it is  a Hooray!  or a scam

Then the fella had the audacity to try and sell me a car.

Good morning, all.

I happen to love persimmons and generally keep about six in the freezer for when I need them. In nature, they're not ripe until the first frost, so popping them in freezer does the same trick: It causes the sugars to flow, creating a fruit that is extraordinarily sweet and silky in texture with just a touch of tartness. They're a great addition to pies or pumpkin soup.


What kind of pies?

And a great meeting prior to it with the head of the LACC Foundation - it was mostly about the Richard Sherman event on May 30th, but I also informed him of all the stuff that's been going on, what we've needed the super-strength vibes and xylophones for.  He was appalled and not so happy about it.  He completely understood my points about everything and thinks that certain folks have behaved reprehensibly and possibly even illegally.  That's a story for a later day, but I think he may be making some telephonic calls about it.  I felt much better about everything after our chat.

Yes, my solution was simple and obvious and I'm sure like the rest of the production will immediately be ripped off by anyone doing the show.  I simply am having the boys playing the husbands do it.  Their husband costumes are being designed to make them look puny and most of them are actually really well built - it works perfectly, actually.  What the point really is in that scene is that they've lost all romantic drive and that point in the staging is made very clearly.

Yes, my solution was simple and obvious and I'm sure like the rest of the production will immediately be ripped off by anyone doing the show.  I simply am having the boys playing the husbands do it.  Their husband costumes are being designed to make them look puny and most of them are actually really well built - it works perfectly, actually.  What the point really is in that scene is that they've lost all romantic drive and that point in the staging is made very clearly.

Sounds like a simple and effective solution.

And a great meeting prior to it with the head of the LACC Foundation - it was mostly about the Richard Sherman event on May 30th, but I also informed him of all the stuff that's been going on, what we've needed the super-strength vibes and xylophones for.  He was appalled and not so happy about it.  He completely understood my points about everything and thinks that certain folks have behaved reprehensibly and possibly even illegally.  That's a story for a later day, but I think he may be making some telephonic calls about it.  I felt much better about everything after our chat.

Very good news, BK!
