At 3:30am I woke up, and i could not get back to sleep. At 5:30 I figured, to hell with it and got out of bed.  In about another hour, I shall jump onto a bus and head for Toyland. I need to scan some music for the singers of these Trinity Church concerts, and Rob Berman is coming by at noon to print some music from OH, BOY!  I'd like t have my scans finished by the time he gets there.

I have no other plans for today, but I'd like to be home by 3:00. I think at some point around then I will need a nap.

SUNDAY TRIVIA

I have posted this one before and it is one of my favorites. So if you know the answer from the previous time please allow someone to answer it.

This playwright wrote three plays that were produced on Broadway. One in the 60's, one in the 70's and one in the 80's. Each played one performance.

The play in the 80's also is notable for something else in Broadway history.

Name the playwright, the plays and what it is notable for.

After the rain the air is so clear and crisp.  I've got the windows open airing out the house.  Boo ran from window to window as I opened them and jumped up on the ledge of each one checking it out.  It was so cute.  Today I  feel like I'm spending mother's day with my kids.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  I've had a delightful Mother's Day.  We attended church with Rob and Mary Linda, then went to lunch at Chipotle.  We went to vist my Mom and were met there by my cousin Perry who is here with his fiancé for their wedding in Troy, OH, next Saturday.  Pam was out shopping with her maid of honor, but we'll probably see her sometime this week.  Mom's undecided about going to the wedding...

About halfway to church, Richard looked over at me and said, "Where's your Mother's Day present?"

I said, "Where IS my Mother's Day present?" 

He said, "It's at home in my desk!"

Well, it's around my neck now - a beautiful, delicate necklace of multi-color stones that I admired in a downtown gallery a week or so ago!

Well, "Chamber Music" is over.  We had our last two performances last night and they went quite well.  The 8PM show was videotaped (with two cameras!), but the camera men hadn't seen the show and they were just panning back and forth and in and out on their own, so they missed a lot of moments that didn't happen when other people were talking.  That's too bad, but what can you do.  I think that they were doing it for free, so that's cool.

Yesterday afternoon before "Chamber Music," a couple of friends and I went to see "A Room With a View" in Seattle...my second time!  It was better the second time, partly because of no interruptions (the reason we got to see it this time for free).  I really like this show and hope that it goes beyond Seattle.  I don't doubt that it will.  The music and lyrics were written by Jeffrey Stock (who wrote "Triumph of Love") and the book was by Marc Acito.  Highly recommended. ;D

About halfway to church, Richard looked over at me and said, "Where's your Mother's Day present?"

I said, "Where IS my Mother's Day present?" 

He said, "It's at home in my desk!"

Well, it's around my neck now - a beautiful, delicate necklace of multi-color stones that I admired in a downtown gallery a week or so ago!

Very nice.

Today we learned, from Craig, that Facebook has a video option and it worked better than Skype.  Then Bryan called and we switched to a 3 way conversation on Google.  It was good we had a nice long conversation with Craig first as we missed half of what he said once we switched to the 3 way.

I have beautiful flowers here from Bryan and Craig, to make up for not sending a card, honored me on FB.  I got lucky with the timing as his post was the first thing I saw when I opened FB on my Nook before I even got out of bed.  It was a perfect way to begin the day.

I'm debating whether to go to graduation or not. I'm not a great one for ceremonies and did not go through my undergrad ceremonies with the other 13,000 graduating. This will be a much smaller affair, but it will be in upstate New York. So, I'll have to fly.

My friend Carol has a time share in New Hampshire for the week, so I'll be able to spend three days there.

Those are the pluses, I see. The minus: About $500++ for the ticket.

Craig went back and forth and decided not to go to the ceremonies in Baltimore.  His classes were in Rockville & Columbia and most the people he met in his classes were locals working during the day.  He didn't develop any friendships.  I think he regrets, almost as much as I do & I practically begged him, that he skipped his graduation at Carnegie Mellon.  He is still very close to the people in his small class.  They began in the summer and were mostly people who, like Craig, had been in the Peace Corps or lived in other countries.

Even if you're not one for ceremonies, there was something about actually putting on the gown and going through the ceremony that felt really good.  It's a big acknowledgement of your achievement.  I didn't think I cared about my law school graduation ceremony, but in the end I was really glad I did it.  I'm still mad I didn't buy the class photo, but I didn't care about such things back then.  I did sit for it, so I'm in the photo, I just didn't buy one

I have posted this one before and it is one of my favorites. So if you know the answer from the previous time please allow someone to answer it.

This playwright wrote three plays that were produced on Broadway. One in the 60's, one in the 70's and one in the 80's. Each played one performance.

The play in the 80's also is notable for something else in Broadway history.

Name the playwright, the plays and what it is notable for.

The answer is Oliver Hailey.......playwright
The plays:
First One Asleep Whistle 2/26/66
Father's Day 3/16/71
I Won't Dance 5/10/81

And I Won't Dance was the last play to be at the original Helen Hayes Theater which was one of five thetas to be torn down for the Marriot Hotel

Hence the clue reference to the first lady of the American Theater

I have been there. I made the pilgrimage. Spoke briefly with McMurtry, who seemed annoyed that I interrupted his work of shelving books, but then he seemed pleased when it was merely a question to find some author he must have liked. I wish I remember the author.

Oh, yes Mr. Bibberman. You'd like to talk with Mr. Applewhite? Oh, yes, sir, he's in. I'll connect you. Widdicome, Gutterman, Applewhite, Bib-bib-bib-blib-bibman and Black? Oh yes, long distance, how are you? Oh. Mr Widdecome? I have your San Francisco call for you. Yes, Mr. Bibberman? Oh. Did I connect you to Mr. Gutterman instead of Mr. Applewhite? I'm sorry Mr. Bibbicome, Bibbibibbib.
[She pulls the jack out of the plug and shakes it]
Auntie Mame: Oh Mr. Applewhite, what are you doing in that hole with Mr. Gutterman? Yes Mr. Widdicome? Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'll try to reconnect you again with San Francisco. Let me see, Mr. Bibibib is in there talking to Mr. Bubbawhite. Where on earth is Mr. Applewhite? Oh, there you are Mr. Applewhite!
[She starts to cross cords and desperately plug jacks into holes]
Auntie Mame: Mr. Widdicome, there's no such place as San Francisco. Please!

There are no baby pictures of me.  The youngest photo of me was when I was five years old and I was  doing THE LITTLEST ANGEL.  Maybe that is why I kept doing theater.

Were they lost or did your parent's not have a camera?

I was the youngest.  They had lost interest.

I am listening to what will be the most important Kritzerland release of the year - another incredible "save" as was Place in the Sun.  This is something no one would ever have thought would see the light of day - the only existing material on this film was a set of acetates from the composer's estate - acetates that were problematic and in such disarray in terms of takes and bits and pieces that no one ever thought it could be sorted out - well, it has been and the results thus far (I'm a third of the way through) are no less than astonishing.

I suppose a dissolving marriage had something to do with it.

SUNDAY TRIVIA

I have posted this one before and it is one of my favorites. So if you know the answer from the previous time please allow someone to answer it.

This playwright wrote three plays that were produced on Broadway. One in the 60's, one in the 70's and one in the 80's. Each played one performance.

The play in the 80's also is notable for something else in Broadway history.

Name the playwright, the plays and what it is notable for.

The answer is Oliver Hailey.......playwright
The plays:
First One Asleep Whistle 2/26/66
Father's Day 3/16/71
I Won't Dance 5/10/81

And I Won't Dance was the last play to be at the original Helen Hayes Theater which was one of five theaters to be torn down for the Marriot Hotel

Hence the clue reference to the first lady of the American Theater

DR LAURA mentioned Vera Charles in reference to my clue.

In celebration of her Vera Charles guess here are two dialogue exchanges.

Norah Muldoon: [to the electrical contractor regarding Vera Charles] It's the "First Lady of the American Thee-ayter" out cold in the guestroom. Ms. Charles don' live here. She does her drinkin' here and her passin' out here.
Is this interesting?

Gloria Upson: Miss Charles, I've just got to tell you how I adored you in "Mary of Scotland."
Vera Charles: Did you dear? That was Helen Hayes.

Now I relax from now until bed - with one short visit from the director of Overlord who's picking up some CDs today to take to Cannes, where the film is being shown in their classics series.

Cool!

We will miss the show ALMOST HUMAN.

I liked that show, too. :(

Can't wait to find out what it is! :)

When I got home today, I was going to read for a while, but I decided to take a little nap instead.  I slept for three hours...it was muchly needed.
