Well, you've read the notes, the notes went cue-to-cue, and now it is time for you to post until the cue-to-cue cows come home.

That's a great cover for the sheet music, BK!

Good news about the sheet music, bk. Also glad to hear that the tech run-through went relatively smoothly.

Good morning, all! What is it with morons?
When I purchased my new cell phone at Verizon, the young lady kept saying the charge did not go through, so she ran my card a couple of times on Tuesday morning, and sure enough, on Wednesday in "pendng activity, there were two charges from Verizon! So, I stopped at my bank, and inquired about canceling one before it became a posted item. The bank clerk assured me only one would go through. so, this morning, there are two charges posted to my account from Verison and i am livid. I could have stopped this on Wednesday if the idiot bank personnel hadn't assured me all would be fine. Now I have to deal with the entire nonsense of getting a credit. Or fighting for a credit.
Color me really, really, really pissed.
I will stop at my bank and throw a Big Fit before I head down to Toyland this morning.
I believe I will be seeing Gerald Peregrne today. Gerald is a brilliant cellist who played on all of our Dublin recordings. His uncle was the late great Irish tenor Frank Patterson, with whom I worked on several St Patrick's Day shows at Radio City.
Wishing you all a good day and a fantastic weekend!

Good morning, all.
Saturday. A pretty good sleep.
Coffee!

Saturday morning greetings! Today is Perry (my cousin) and Pam's wedding day, so I will be E & T from about noon 'til late this evening. Before we leave, though, Richard and I have to go out to Kathryn's to pick up a piece of consignment furniture that I bought yesterday.
-
DR Elmore, I finished watching the Trinity concert last night and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. A couple of songs were familiar from Joan Morris recordings. If we lived in the City, Richard and I would be all over performances like this! Looking forward to the next two!
-
DR Elmore asks, "what is it with morons?"
I'll tell you. I'll tell you what it is with morons.
They work tirelessly, endlessly, on overtime, 24 hours a day, To Serve Man. Once started on a project, they cannot be stopped. We're surrounded by them, but they're often in disguise. They breed like insects, their goal being world domination.
That, in a nutshell, is what it is about morons.
-
Last night, the deluge. Some of the hardest rain and wind I've driven through. An incredible storm. We need some sunny, or at least dry, weather for a while.

And here it is! Sun just came out!

Well, the vocal selections from Frozen have arrived. So I can now sing and play "Let It Go" as many times per day as I like. Over and Over. Repeatedly.

speaking of morons, I had to have a front door key made for one of my team, who waited until this week to ask for one, even though he knew he was coming in to Manhattan for work for over a month, So, yesterday I made a special trip to a locksmith on the Upper West Side tpo have a key made. In case one was slightly off, I purchased two. Well, neither one works. This means, thanks to two of my colleagues adding aggravation to this busy three weeks, I have to find a locksmith down here, have the keys made and come back to Toyland tomorrow, just to make sure the goddam keys work.
On a positive side, I think and hope the Verizon credit is taken care of.
This was going to be an easy weekend for me. Shit!

Over the years, of moving so often, I have found which key counters to avoid and those to use. Any chance you can just have the person call you if the key doesn't work and then go down to open the door instead of making an extra trip?

This day continues to go to hell: I went out and had two more front door keys made from a locksmith on 21st that the doorman told me to use. They don't work either. So, I've now I've lost $23.00 on four useless keys, all because my jerk colleagues waited until the last minute to ask for a front door key. Sonofabitch!
So, now I've heard from my Irish friend, but my cell phone refuses to dial his number. This day is turning into a real piece of crap between the keys, calling a Dublin number, and getting a credit from Verizon. Goddam.
-
What the HELL? I've never had a duplicate key not work. Not ever.

What the HELL? I've never had a duplicate key not work. Not ever.
I know it seems odd to me too. Maybe you're trying to copy a key that can't be copied? I would get my money back.

When we moved into this office, I had four front door keys made. I didn't give one to Chris becasuse he lives in North Carolina and I figured he would be here when others were. Now he needs an effin key.

I looked at the keys made yesterday; the idiot woman didn't come close to the marks.

This is strange. I hate to ask the obvious, but these new keys are being made from one that works-right? You should be able to get your money back for keys that don't work. I've done it.

Tonight, the whole family is going to a local restaurant, Traditions Cafe, to see a group called Hot Club Sandwich. They're a Pearl Django-type tribute band and they're fantastic. I've seen them a couple of times and have thoroughly enjoyed them each time. :D

Well, I must be off. I want to watch a little bit of TV upstairs to get some things off my DVR, then I'm off to the cafe.
Have a good day, all!

It's still too darned cool for mid-May, but it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood -- which I seem to be spending indoors. But that's okay. I need to be working on the things I'm working on in the Music Room, and then damn it to hell, I'm treating myself to watching a good movie tonight.

Hello, everyone.
Thanks for all the medical vibes.

It sounds like DR ELMORE needs some EVERYTHING-GO-MORE-SMOOTHLY VIBES!!

I've had problems getting keys duplicated correctly. Most annoying. I think you should get your money back. Also, before you leave the key place, put the two keys together and check them. There could still be a problem, but at least you've eliminated the REALLY off "duplicates."
-
I've been here 9 hours, about 5 more than I wanted to be. We have door keys and I have no patience with anyone at this point.

And here we are in California praying for rain! Did the weather gods get two "C" states mixed up? We need that rain, Chaz!

Re the morons,
We must not forget the "out to lunch" crowd. In my experience, these are usually young people--twenty-somethings--who could care less about doing a good job and, indeed, even in their more lucid moments have little idea of what doing a good job entails. They are doing the minimum to get by. If a customer complains in any way, their response is, "WHAT?? You want WHAT?" or some variation thereof. I encounter this quite a lot.
-
Did I mention the encounter I had recently? I was calling practitioners who offer the laser treatments, trying to get a handle on what the treatments would cost and decide who to go to for them. A search turned up a doctor right near me. I called and asked for prices. In return I received this, all of which was asked angrily:
"WHO IS THIS?"
"WHERE ARE YOU CALLING FROM?"
"WHERE DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?"
It was actually rather comical. It was a group of doctors who specialize in pain management. When I was able to speak to someone else, I mentioned the bizarre behavior from the woman who answered the phone. Woman #2 immediately defended her, saying she's young and new to the job. I said she needs to be spoken to and that I had almost hung up. Needless to say, I'm not going there. I have other options, plus if they can't be civil when they answer the phone I certainly don't trust them with a laser!
I cannot fathom how ANYONE would think that this is appropriate business conduct.

That was my rant for the day.

Oh, I was supposed to respond to the TOPIC of the day? Oh, well.

Shocking, until I began to remember all the rude people in medical offices. Fortunately they are not the norm, especially to this degree.
When we were still in L.A. and had moved to the Valley we found a new vet in the area which was a big mistake. The night after taking our puppy home from having been spayed she developed cystitis. I called the office and reached a very rude person who insisted I didn't know what I was talking about. I nicely explained she had these symptoms before and I knew what I was talking about. He refused to call the doctor. The next day I spoke to the new vet who defended the behavior, even after treating her for cystitis, and was also rude. We found another practice.

Thank you. I just did my afternoon 20 minute foot soak. I don't know why people do this for pleasure-lol. I'm sure DR Singdaw feels worse than I do.

We left a local dentist office because the receptionist was always rude, and she was close to 50.

DR Jennifer I finished reading "Allegiant" last night. I will send you an email soon.
-
I must say that have had really great care and great communication so far from my new medical office and the same day surgery center. It's night and day from the last office. They weren't rude, but they were just indifferent and didn't communicate. It's just as bad
-
I hope the group continues to communicate and give you quality care.
-
I'm sure DR Singdaw feels worse than I do.
I'm actually feeling a tad bit better today. What I'm not used to is finding I get exhausted quite easily and for no particular reason. :P

DR Jeanne, it's too cold here to wear my new dress to an outdoor wedding, but my new necklace went very well with my burgundy knit jacketed dress. It's one if my favorites and I was quite comfortable.

I am tired. Today was my niece's 5th birthday. She had her Frozen birthday party today. And then we went out for dinner. She was so happy. I actually found the Anna tiara and necklace set I had been looking for. It was at Toys R Us last week. It was the only Anna set (all the others were for Elsa). She wore them at her party and at dinner.

I am trying to decide what to read next. I have a library book from my sister's library that is a final book in a trilogy. I have a book waiting for me at my library by one of my favorite authors. I have two review books I want to read before they come out on May 27th. And I have a book at my library in verification (which I may be first for) that is the final book in a series I love. If that book were to come out of verification tomorrow morning I would definitely choose that.
Monday is Victoria Day so the library is closed.

Well library books and review books come before books and e-books I own, which is why I have such a problem getting to books I own. It's funny because I read so much but cannot keep up.

An old friend of mine recently discovered cruising (the kind you do on ships). We have been talking on and off about finding one to take together, to avoid those nasty single supplements. Last night he sent me an e-mail for a great cruise. A seven-day Alaska cruise, sailing round-trip from Seattle, with a cabin available for $369.00 per person. The cruise was scheduled to leave two weeks from today.
Last night I was ready to jump on the cruise and most of the night was spent planning what I needed to do before I left. Well, the bright light of dawn brought a little more reality to the situaition, so I told him I couldn't do it.
-
I would love to go on a cruise some day, TCB. I doubt it will ever happen, though.

Now Joshie is sitting on the keyboard because he thinks he is not getting enough attention.
Perhaps Joshie is right. ;D

TCB - is it the cost, or a matter of wondering whether you could enjoy the time on the cruise?

At least they can't say we didn't reach 100 posts.

Where did this nice Saturday go?
I seem to have just a little strand of it left.
And I need to get me some sleep soon. Been working on AVENUE Q, and I'm going out to Manchester CT to see a matinee of it tomorrow.

I have not, but it's still playing and I'll get to it soon.

I would love to see it. I wanted to see the production in Las Vegas, but it closed before I got there.
-
My Saturday was going out for breakfast, mowing the lawn, doing errands, shopping at Coldwater Creek's liquidation sale, again (that's got to stop). I actually wanted to go to The Explorer's (minor league baseball team) opener tonight, but I think I overdid it a bit. I wasn't feeling too good, so I came home and rested.
-
I made up a recipe for dinner that....well....shouldn't ever be repeated
-
Resting was a good thing. I'm feeling better.
-
Now I'm watching Jackson Galaxy. My Cat From Hell
-
"This cat has a violent past"
-
Have you seen it, Cilla?
-
What? Avenue Q or Jackson Galaxy Cat from Hell
-
Avenue Q - I saw the tour, but never saw it on Broadway
-
Cats have 9 lives, but humans only have 1. I love to watch My Cat From Hell
-

I have never seen that.
-
It's on Animal Planet. I'm watching it right now. Jackson Galaxy is my hero.
-
I try to stay away from Animal Planet.
-
Jackson goes to help people who have cats that attack, mess in the house or whatever bad behavior and he helps the cats and people fix it....usually it's a human issue. He has great advice for humans on how to understand their cats and what they need. Cats that are totally out of control are usually sweethearts by the end
-
Of course there is a lot of work done to get there
-
I wish I would have known these things when Nilla went crazy. I may have been able to get him under control.
-
So tomorrow I'm going to work in the yard. I'd like to plant some new bushes and get some plants I bought several weeks ago in the ground. I also need to do the laundry
-
Back from our dress rehearsal, about which more in the notes. Then some of us went to El Cholo, which, I believe, is the oldest Mexican restaurant in LA, located about five minutes from my father's old restaurant. It was fun and the food was excellent, but I still prefer Casa Vega.

A search turned up a doctor right near me. I called and asked for prices. In return I received this, all of which was asked angrily:
"WHO IS THIS?"
"WHERE ARE YOU CALLING FROM?"
"WHERE DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER?"
It was actually rather comical. It was a group of doctors who specialize in pain management. When I was able to speak to someone else, I mentioned the bizarre behavior from the woman who answered the phone. Woman #2 immediately defended her, saying she's young and new to the job. I said she needs to be spoken to and that I had almost hung up. Needless to say, I'm not going there. I have other options, plus if they can't be civil when they answer the phone I certainly don't trust them with a laser!
I cannot fathom how ANYONE would think that this is appropriate business conduct.
How much do you want to bet that that young lady had just been chastised for taking a call and failing to find out the prospective patients name, phone number and referral source.

Now it's time to sleep. It's been a long day and I'm tired.

You're probably right about that

Re the morons,
We must not forget the "out to lunch" crowd. In my experience, these are usually young people--twenty-somethings--who could care less about doing a good job and, indeed, even in their more lucid moments have little idea of what doing a good job entails. They are doing the minimum to get by. If a customer complains in any way, their response is, "WHAT?? You want WHAT?" or some variation thereof. I encounter this quite a lot.

PROUD MAMA MOMENT; The Vixter was made Employee of the Month - her name was engraved on a brass plate and put up on a plaque in the lobby of the Roadhouse and she was given a lovely engraved plaque and a hat - no monetary tribute unfortunately - but we are all pleased as punch about it.
HERE ENDETH THE BRAGGING

I'm sure DR Singdaw feels worse than I do.
I'm actually feeling a tad bit better today. What I'm not used to is finding I get exhausted quite easily and for no particular reason. :P
your body is using a lot of energy to heal -- take it easy and get plenty of sleep

Jackson goes to help people who have cats that attack, mess in the house or whatever bad behavior and he helps the cats and people fix it....usually it's a human issue. He has great advice for humans on how to understand their cats and what they need. Cats that are totally out of control are usually sweethearts by the end
Is that show on every Saturday?

I have been very lucky the past few doctor's visits - I was very pleasantly surprised that an 8 PM appointment was available, allowing me to work a full day, come home, eat, shower and get there feeling fresh and relaxed.
Once there I barely had time to give my proof of insurance and ID before I was shown to the examining room and the doctor was at the door and ready to come in as soon as I ad changed into my gown.
My referrals all went through very quickly and this afternoon when I went for the dreaded mammogram and not dreaded bone density I was shown to a women's waiting room where there were comfortable chairs and warm chocolate chip cookies and instead of paper gowns we had spa like bathrobes. The wait there was also short.
It was nice to have such speed of service and pleasant staff considering how unpleasant I find the test -- (which is how I managed to forget it for 7 years....)

I don't find those awful at all. It's the call-backs I don't like.

As an actor, I am happy to get call-backs.

-
Hmm. Deja vu.
-
good night!
-
Good night, Vixmom.
Congratulations to the Vixter!

I have done absolutely nothing today. Does making a cup of coffee count?
I have become a human Veg-O-Matic!
Tom, you've earned it...veg away! :D

I am tired. Today was my niece's 5th birthday. She had her Frozen birthday party today. And then we went out for dinner. She was so happy. I actually found the Anna tiara and necklace set I had been looking for. It was at Toys R Us last week. It was the only Anna set (all the others were for Elsa). She wore them at her party and at dinner.
A Very Happy Birthday to your niece, Jennifer!

Today, I went to see Hot Club Sandwich (http://www.hotclubsandwich.com) at Traditions Café (http://www.traditionsfairtrade.com/) and they were wonderful. The place was filled and I saw and chatted with several friends. That's always fun. :)
