Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of An Evening With Richard M. Sherman, and now it is time for you to post until the evening cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PERFUSE!
-
Sheet music has been ordered!
-
BK, about the group of 30 who didn't show up...did they buy their tickets, or did they just make reservations to be there? Because if they hadn't paid for their tickets, I would think that you need (or the venue needs) a policy that if people don't show up within 15 minutes of the performance, their reservations will be released and sold to others. You shouldn't have to lose out on those ticket sales just because people either flake out or can't get there in time.
Just a thought.

So thrilled to read that last evening's event went so splendidly. What a treat for everyone!

and vibes for people who don't so you can stock up on them when you do need a vibe or two.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Thanks to MR BK for the G/D vibes....we open on Thursday, so it's always nice to have a good rehearsal!
Of course five people were gone to graduation ceremonies.....so it was a bit ragged....and I'm not too happy with the lighting, but it is okay.
IF you spent $18,000 on lighting instruments....called intelligent lights that can spin and have built in colors and all kinds of fancy capabilities, where would you put them?
Well......our technical director put ONE on the FRONT of the stage and THREE on the back of the stage....so mostly what they do is shine into the eyes of the audience....no one can convince him otherwise.
-
I almost made it through the show without car trouble.....BUT last night the PT Cruiser overheated....so it is in the shop....and of course today is a work day....oh well....and tomorrow is the Season Open House....
So who knows what will happen? I do....but I ain't saying.
-
I loved reading about the evening with Richard Sherman and MR BK at LACC. I would have loved to have been there as well.
I have ordered the SPECIAL EDITION of the sheet music!

And now that is enough of me for awhile. I shall return after work.

Please don't hold back, DR Jrand63!! :)

....no one can convince him otherwise.
It seems to me that, as director of the production, you should have an overriding vote. :P
-
Good morning, all...
...following the CRAZIEST DAMN DREAM (which consisted of three or four main "scenes") I've come up with yet. When I woke up this morning I just laid there attempting to remember everything and put it all together -- but while that was happening, I suspect that I slipped into another light sleep and ended up embellishing or manufacturing even more. Incredible stuff. It's too bad I haven't the energy or the the time it would take to try putting it down for everyone's reading pleasure.
Coffee!
-
Big doings today. Family wedding.
We shall see if we can keep the ugly underside drama from rising to the surface.
-
A laurel and hearty CONGRATULATIONS to BK on a wonderful evening.
It just kills me not to be zipping out there for these things.
Sheet music ordered. I neither dillied nor dallied. And vice versa.

Unnecessary Hammacher Schlemmer item #347:
The Human Bowling Ball (it will only set you back $5,500!)

Given that set-up, is there any way you could NOT knock down all the pins? :)
-
I neither dillied nor dallied.
Let us be the judge of that. ;D
-
I hope that the "Two Roads" sheet music includes the kazoo instrumental break. :)
-
Good morning, all! This morning the site was up, down, up again, then down again, and now it's back. It was like this on Thursday afternoon.
I have nothing to report. I have work to accomplish here, most tidying up and putting things away.

I agree. But still super rude.

This afternoon my niece will swim in the finals in backstroke, front crawl and probably relay (the coach is only telling them today). She finished 2nd in both in the semi-finals. Two weeks ago I was hoping she could win at least one event (she has never come in first in any races at this level). But now after her chickenpox I am just really hoping that she will have enough energy to be as competitive as she usually is. She seems to be getting her energy back everyday. But it is just impossible to know if she is 100%. It takes a lot of energy to go all out. Fingers crossed.
The good news is that the meet is at her pool (which is only 10 minutes away). Although they are not racing in the same pool they practice in.

DR Jennifer, I hope your niece feels good she did her best, whatever happens.

I won't be around much this weekend. Today we will be with friends and tomorrow is just a romantic day for us as it is our 45th anniversary.
-
I think I am a bit in shock over the number, almost as much as I'm in shock over my age ;D

Happy Anniversary, Nursie!

Happy anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary Keith and Jane

Happy Anniversary, youze guys!! :)

Has anyone heard of this bookstore in Harrisburg, PA, or even been there? I keep picking up their brochure (which is impressive, with pictures I'm not seeing on the web site) whenever I'm on the road, and I was half thinking of stopping in there tomorrow to check it out since this is a fairly leisurely car trip in which I could afford some extra time. On the other hand, I might just drive over another day to give myself a proper amount of time to browse, eat, etc. But we'll see.
-
I'm driving over to Morgantown WV tomorrow, btw -- in case anyone had somehow forgotten that! -- and returning on Monday. Just a quick visit to my (let's see) wife of first cousin once removed. (Thank you, genealogy program.)
-
Saturday morning greetings! Just checking in to say I'll be away all afternoon attending Mary Linda's company picnic at Sharon Woods in Cincinnati. Rob has to work today and she wanted some company. It's a bee-yoo-tee-ful day to be outside!

DR elmore3003 - have you had any further information about the timing of your bathroom ceiling repair?
-
I'm up, I'm up - I was up at five for a while, too. Maybe I got five hours of sleep in there somewhere between two and eight-thirty.
-
Last night's event was free - that's what was galling - thirty people could have seen it and yet didn't thanks to the no-shows who didn't cancel.
-
Darned inconsiderate!!! :P
-
Well, let's see...
-
I think we can move this along a little bit.
-
PAGINA TRES!
-
Sent out the Two Roads Kritzerland blast and shall now attempt a jog, I suppose, since she of the Evil Eye is here doing her thing.
-
One more question --
Was it one party of about 30 people, or a bunch that totaled up to that number?
-
(I have to assume the latter, if for no other reason that a GROUP doing that would be even more outrageous.)
-
I haven't heard of the bookstore, DR ChasSmith, but it looks great from their Facebook page:

DR elmore3003 - have you had any further information about the timing of your bathroom ceiling repair?
Well, I thought it was going to happen last week, but I'm happy it didn't. I did not relish coming home from a long rehearsal and having to sweep up the dust and then mop the place. I saw the super yesterday, and I asked about it. I think it will happen on Monday or Tuesday. I want to get all the bathroom things back on shelves and racks. Then I can prepare my studio for the summer and the A/C.
I do think it's ridiculous for this mess to drag on for three months.
-
Smooth travels to Chas!
-
Back from a jog. One thing I'm putting out in the ether - Richard and I are willing to take last night's evening on the road - they'd have to pay for he and his wife to get there and for me, but I don't think we'd need much beyond a hotel - in other words, no fee, as long as the venue is good and we can fill the house.
-
Oy! I need a sherpa. Or a maid. ASAP.
-
Everybody ought to have one, DR Elmore. Or so I've heard.
-
And the word of the day is: PERFUSE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: TURN! TURN! TURN!
-
I won't be around much this weekend. Today we will be with friends and tomorrow is just a romantic day for us as it is our 45th anniversary.
A Very Happy Anniversary to Jane and Keith!! :D
-
Last night's event was free - that's what was galling - thirty people could have seen it and yet didn't thanks to the no-shows who didn't cancel.
Then I definitely think that you should have a policy that reservations will be held until 15 or maybe 10 minutes before a program starts. There are a couple of theater groups that pre-sell their pay-what-you-can nights, but it's their policy that if ticket holders don't get there within the required time frame, the theater groups reserve the right to resell the seats.
-
Just my opinion. :)
-
And now, I must take the day. I have to shower, get dressed, get gas for my car, get food for my tummy and sunscreen for my skin...not necessarily in that order. The wedding that I'm going to is an outdoor wedding, and even though it doesn't start until 5:30, it's already a very sunny day. The weather report says "partly cloudy," but there can still be a lot of sun shining through.
Have a good day, all!
-
Very, Very Happy Anniversary to Jane and Keith!!

DR Jennifer, I hope your niece feels good she did her best, whatever happens.
She finished in 1st place in the 50 free. It is her first 1st place of the season. They even announced her name over the loud speaker. It was thrilling.
She finished in 2nd place in the 50 back. She finished at the same time as her teammate (well 50.28 to 50.44).
-
Had a really fun stumble-through - only a couple of tiny lyric flubs, otherwise just about perfect and less notes than I've ever given.
-
Then some of us went to Casa Vega, where I was a VERY good boy - no chips, one cheese enchilada, one beef taco, no beans, a little rice and no sides of guacamole and sour cream. So, I guess I have just enough calories left to eat this here chocolate peanut butter thing. Yes, I went to K's Donuts and got a dozen for rehearsal, including the four remaining chocolate peanut butter things. But there are still about seven things left so I put them in the fridge and will bring them to The Federal tomorrow.

Signed copies of the sheet music are selling pretty well.

I agree. I also don't feel that you should have to do ANY of the clean-up. The problem was not of your making and the building management should take care of it. But who am I?
Vibes it goes smoothly and is soon history.
-
I have been busy with car shopping and my numerous medical appointments. I do believe that shopping for a new car could cause someone to need numerous medical appointments.
-
Send congrats from us, Jennifer!
Thanks.
It was so exciting. My sister and I both got teary eyed. Front crawl is the most competitive race (more people are good at it). She had been sick so we had no idea if she would have all of her energy. It was a close race between her and the girl who beat her in the semi finals. But then they flashed her name on the board with a #1. And you could see her see it. And she got a huge smile on her face. So exciting for her first win.
-
Thanks DR Jeanne.

After saying, "Tomorrow I'll go to such-and-such [dealer] to see an XYZ," THREE times earlier in the week and then deciding against it, I finally visited a dealer yesterday. I've done all I can online, knowing that once I set foot in a car showroom there will be a certain amount of pressure to buy something. Now. So I had narrowed things down to a couple makes and models. Checkbook in hand, I was prepared to make a purchase yesterday. But I was told that the car that I'd come to purchase had just been sold. Although that's quite possible--nice car and really good price--I notice that it's still on the dealer's website. Hum...
I was, of course, directed to another car, one actually on the lot, a beautiful used BMW. Also a very good price. I test-drove it. Gorgeous car, but not what I'm looking for. The apartment building where I live has off-street parking--very needed--but it is very tight. We've all scratched our cars--or worse--due to the tight quarters. I was hoping my old car would last until I have a better parking situation. The BMW is slightly larger than my old Volvo. I need smaller, not larger. No BMW.
-
Happy anniversary to DR Jane and DH Keith!! Enjoy your romantical day tomorrow!

So I am again looking. I loathe the local Volvo dealer, but I do like Volvos. I hope I find a car I like, because it's tempting to just buy SOMETHING and be done with it.

Sing, I'm sorry to hear about your liver problems and hope that this won't be a chronic issue.
VIBES TO DR SINGDAW'S LIVER!!

Jeanne, is it possible that if the dealer sees you must have that particular car, it will magically be available to you?
-
~ ~ ~ SUPER-SAFE TRAVEL VIBES ~ ~ ~ for DR ChasSmith tomorrow!
( and don't forget your extra set of car keys! ;D )
Ditto!
-
Jeanne, is it possible that if the dealer sees you must have that particular car, it will magically be available to you?
I tried something along those lines. Since most people finance their auto purchases and one must pass a credit check, I thought I might be second in line. But I was told that the buyer passed. If I was buying a new car I think the dealer could probably find an equivalent car. But I'm buying used and that introduces soooo many variables! What I'm learning is what a big business used cars are. I could sell my old Volvo several times over.
-
I don't doubt that there's some bait-and-switch going on. I don't know if that's what happened yesterday or not. But my Volvo ran much better after I test-drove another car!
-
Jeanne, is it possible that if the dealer sees you must have that particular car, it will magically be available to you?
Fred, if you have any ideas as to how to make "my" car magically appear, I'd be most happy to hear them!

We enjoyed Mary Linda's company picnic this afternoon. Her co-workers were very nice and the food was great. The company provided beverages, hamburgers, and hot dogs and everyone else brought sides. The weather is perfect - warm, sunny, very low humidity. I napped in my recliner after we got home.

Good evening. Sorry to post bad news a few days ago and then go E and T....

Oh, I can relate to that!

First of all, thanks for the prayers and vibes. Bob is still in hospice. He hasn't eaten for three days now. He's been talking to his wife who passed a long time ago and reliving his life in reverse. Interesting
-
The length of time this is taking is really taking a toll on my brother and sister in law. They did go home tonight and hopefully will try to sleep in the bed instead of just falling asleep in their recliners as they have done when they could get a little time to rest. They have a really fantastic set up for the families of those in hospice at the hospital there, but it's just very hard.
-
I haven't gone up there as there really isn't anything I can do. Both my niece and nephew are there. I don't know that one more person is going to do much. I try to talk to them every day or at least text that I'm thinking about her. She's told me there's really nothing I can do.
-
I was really out of it all week. I did a lot of yard work and it has been very hot and humid. I also trimmed my huge pine tree so I can now walk under it. It really needed a better air flow. Anyway, I think I may be allergic to it. I woke up the next morning all swelled up. I took some allergy meds and that took care of it. I've stayed in the house most of the time since then
-
Are you a member of Costco? They have a car buying service. The car will have the best price through Costco -- no haggling.
Good thinking, Laura! I'm not a member, but could easily become one. In fact, I was considering it because I need a pair of prescription sunglasses and their price is much, much cheaper than what I'd normally pay.
I'm pleased to see that Costco's program isn't just for new cars. I may give it a try. I do need to test-drive a couple models first. Buying the Volvo was so easy! Not this time.

It sounds like the dealer could be guilty of "bait and switch."
-
But it was a good garage sale....I got a very nicely framed Renoir art print. An antique pitcher in great condition, with no chips at all, a great oak chair - like an old courthouse or library chair, it's been repaired, but a good repair job, and a three cat plaque that is really cute....I spent $25. ( I should admit most of it was given to me by a friend who was part of the garage sale...but still....)

I had no idea that Jane and Keith were still married. Who knew?

Paul had an opening for his mural on Wednesday night. I'm so proud of him. It's an amazing mural.

Congratulations to Paul! Very cool.
Thanks! He's feeling like he's free again after working on that for so long. He's off to NYC to see friends next week

Time to get some sleep. Night all

Good night, Cilla!

I should have eaten something today, but I just didn't have the energy to get up and make it.
-
Maybe BK will bring my one of his donuts.
-
Oh, I ordered my sheet music.
-
I should have ordered two copies.

I wonder if Vixmom fell asleep online?
-
I gotta tell you.

Wishing DR Jane and DH Keith the happiest and loveliest of anniversary celebrations tomorrow. Wow, that's a big number! :)

Thank you. This is very pretty.

Happy Day to Jane and Keith!
Thanks.

I won't be around much this weekend. Today we will be with friends and tomorrow is just a romantic day for us as it is our 45th anniversary.
Thank you. The Monaco Hotel upgraded our room, gave us champagne, and left rose petals on our bed :)
A Very Happy Anniversary to Jane and Keith!! :D

Very, Very Happy Anniversary to Jane and Keith!!
Thanks. I hope our actual anniversary is as nice as today has been.
-
Thanks DR Jeanne.
-
I am sitting here like so much fish trying to relax. I'll write the notes in about a half hour. I think maybe I'll take a hot shower, since I have nice clean sheets on the bed.
-
DR Jennifer, I hope your niece feels good she did her best, whatever happens.
She finished in 1st place in the 50 free. It is her first 1st place of the season. They even announced her name over the loud speaker. It was thrilling.
She finished in 2nd place in the 50 back. She finished at the same time as her teammate (well 50.28 to 50.44).
Congrats to your niece, Jennifer!

And now, I must take the day. I have to shower, get dressed, get gas for my car, get food for my tummy and sunscreen for my skin...not necessarily in that order. The wedding that I'm going to is an outdoor wedding, and even though it doesn't start until 5:30, it's already a very sunny day. The weather report says "partly cloudy," but there can still be a lot of sun shining through.
Have a good day, all!
I am now home from the wedding and a lovely wedding it was. I did not get a sunburn, nor do I think I even got a little tanned, so the newly bought sunscreen was a success. The view over the water was spectacular, the bride was beautiful and the groom was gorgeous. ;)
-
There was some pretty good food and wonderful cake and a lot different kinds of candy that everyone could take in little bags. It'll last me for several days.
-
A good time was had by all. Christy, the bride, told me that her ring was his great-grandmother's and is 110 years old! It was beautiful, and she's got a great story to go with it.
-
And now, since we're so close...

The only problem was that I got lost on my way home. I guess I turned left when either I shouldn't have, or I should've turned right. But after probably 10 minutes or so, things weren't looking familiar. I kept going and eventually realized that the water was on my left, which meant that I was going north, but I need to go south!

DR elmore3003 - have you had any further information about the timing of your bathroom ceiling repair?
Well, I thought it was going to happen last week, but I'm happy it didn't. I did not relish coming home from a long rehearsal and having to sweep up the dust and then mop the place. I saw the super yesterday, and I asked about it. I think it will happen on Monday or Tuesday. I want to get all the bathroom things back on shelves and racks. Then I can prepare my studio for the summer and the A/C.
I do think it's ridiculous for this mess to drag on for three months.
I agree. I also don't feel that you should have to do ANY of the clean-up. The problem was not of your making and the building management should take care of it. But who am I?
Vibes it goes smoothly and is soon history.
I feel the same way.

I had no idea where I was going and then I finally saw a sign for Highway 16, which intersects with I-5, but no indication of where I should turn for Highway 16. I eventually just turned right because I thought that I was still going too far, and a couple of blocks up that road was the Tacoma Musical Playhouse. I've been there! I sort of knew where I was!
-
I have been busy with car shopping and my numerous medical appointments. I do believe that shopping for a new car could cause someone to need numerous medical appointments.
So true, IMHO.
-
I kept going and in just a few minutes did get to Highway 16. I got on and realize that I was going the wrong way AGAIN! I was heading towards Bremerton and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Just as I realized this, there was a sign that said "No Toll This Direction." I don't care...I don't want to pay a toll just to get back. Fortunately, there was an exit just before the bridge and I was able to cross over Highway 16, go back the other direction and get to I-5, and then home.
-
Whew! It was a fun day and even getting lost wasn't a problem. I knew that I would eventually find my way back. :D
-
Happy Anniversary to DR Jane and DH Keith!
Thank you
-
Had a really fun stumble-through - only a couple of tiny lyric flubs, otherwise just about perfect and less notes than I've ever given.
That's great!

Are you a member of Costco? They have a car buying service. The car will have the best price through Costco -- no haggling.
Good thinking, Laura! I'm not a member, but could easily become one. In fact, I was considering it because I need a pair of prescription sunglasses and their price is much, much cheaper than what I'd normally pay.
I'm pleased to see that Costco's program isn't just for new cars. I may give it a try. I do need to test-drive a couple models first. Buying the Volvo was so easy! Not this time.
That's how I got my car. Highly recommended.

That's so cool! Congrats to Paul!

I'm now watching Aziz Ansari's comedy special from 2012 on Comedy Central (it was rebroadcast early this morning). He's really funny and they aren't editing the "language"...nothing is bleeped out.
-
I hope I get to feeling better soon, so I can go and buy a new keyboard for my regular computer.
-
But I am really grateful that I have a laptop and an iPad.

George, where was the wedding held?
