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

~~~Break Legs Vibes for Tonight's Kritzerland Show!!~~~
-
Yesterday, I went to a wedding reception and bought some food at Costco to bring (they wanted a pot-luck instead of gifts). I bought the turkey and swiss cheese tortilla wraps and was one of four, count 'em, FOUR people who brought them! Great minds think alike, huh? ;)
There was a lot of other food, though. Their wedding was small, so not a lot of people were even invited (including me). Not a problem. It was a fun reception.
-
Later this afternoon, I have my first rehearsal for "The Tempest." I'm running the sound board. I've been told that it'll be fairly easy. Tonight will just be a paper tech/cue-to-cue. I don't know how long it'll take, but I can't wait to see it. The "concept" is that Prospero and all the people are in Oz. I don't know if they're going to be played as known Oz characters (Dorothy, Tin Man, etc.), or just Oz-like denizens.
-
Good night, all.
-
Good morning.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
God morning, all! I am still debating if I am going to Toyland today or not. I definitely need to get to a supermarket. I hve to decide in the next hour.
Last night I watched another episode of VERA. The actress who plays the housekeeper on DOWNTON ABBEY was the mother of the victim.
I believe that's all my news. I am in a rut and not happy to be there.
-
It's Sunday.
-
I still find it shocking that people are allowed to set of their own fireworks. Here that would not be allowed. They even block off streets around where they are setting them off.

Today only, there are a lot of new kindle deals at $1.99

We watched 2 films yesterday, neither of which we really liked.
1. A WOMAN'S SECRET with Maureen O'Hara, Melvyn Douglas and Gloria Grahame. The script was by Herman Mankiewicz; direction by Nicholas Ray...and it was one of the most confusing, unfocused films I've ever seen. A major mess!
2. ENEMY with Jake Gyllenhaal has an interesting plot, but is very slow moving. The story would have been more effective as a half-hour episode of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, rather than a 90 minute movie.

~ ~ ~ SUPERSONIC BREAK-A-LEG SHOW VIBES ~ ~ ~ for bk and his merrie Kritzerland company!!!!!!!
-
Show vibes for MR BK & Co.
I loved reading about DR LAURA'S tribute to her mother!
Car repair vibes to DR CHAS SMITH.....look at this way, you saved $250.
Out and about vibes for DR SINGDAW today.
Out of the rut vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
As usual before a show, I slept about four hours.
-
Last night after I returned home from work, I went with my sister Paula to my uncle's house. He is moving and had some things he wanted to give us.....he moves about every two years - he flips houses - and always gives us stuff.
We ended up with about 200 shirts/sweaters some with the tags still on them.....about 150 record albums, and 50 books.
We brought everything to my house. I took one book (I restrained myself) and about 20 of the shirts/sweaters that will fit me. My dad will look through the rest....I didn't even LOOK at the records.
-
The one book I took was a BCE of GONE WITH THE WIND that still had its paper cover.
-
Break a leg to BK and company.
-
The Theatre Board President is on vacation, so I will be presiding at the meeting today..... Hopefully someone will be there so I can officially ask if the best use of three of our new smart lights ($2000 each) is backlighting.
-
My mom's birthday in Florida on Thursday was loads of fun - small delicious dinner, and that's exactly what she wanted.
On Friday, there was a very cleverly done, enjoyable Fourth of July celebration in the community auditorium, which was very well-attended, and on Saturday, we - including Mom, Dad, two of their friends - went to synagogue, which for me was my first time in synagogue since the delightful bat-mitzvah I went to in Pennsylvania in April. (They do seem to stand up and sit down more at this lovely Florida synagogue than elsewhere, but it was a fine service.)
-
Then on Saturday night, I flew home, and the plane actually got in a half-hour or so early. Is it possible they allow three hours from here to Fort Lauderdale, but it's really a much shorter flight?
-
More fireworks this morning.
-
It is a mystery DR FJL.
-
Many thanks to everyone for the travel vibes, which were a great help. I'm starting to catch up now.
-
It is a mystery DR FJL.
LOL!
-
More fireworks this morning.
Are you referring to the news of the lawsuit against Katy Perry? And on 4th of July weekend yet? Fireworks, indeed.

I went to market instead of Toyland. The A/C is cooling the place down, and then I will tidy up the apartment.
-
THanks for the KP link DR FJL.
-
A late good morning, all.
Woke up at my usual time, but was determined to pull in some extra sleep, or at least quiet rest, so I stubbornly stayed in bed. Checked in here briefly via the cell phone, getting a little drowsy again, and finally fell back to sleep for a while. It was the right thing to do.
-
Vibes and Xylos for a fine Kritzerland show tonight!
-
DR CILLA LIZ - in my area, they are re-doing the electronics departments of Wal-Mart, and there are several nice sized television sets on sale.....I have a 39" Emerson which is nice.
-
I still find it shocking that people are allowed to set of their own fireworks. Here that would not be allowed. They even block off streets around where they are setting them off.
Stopping it would be nearly impossible. Many, many people bring up the powerful stuff from the southern states where you can buy them legally, and like I said, they're not being set off in tight quarters, etc. I'd suppose a few people do get stopped where it's blatantly obvious, but I'm also guessing that, in most cases, by the time they narrowed down whose property they're coming from, it would be a fruitless chase and an incredible waste of manpower.
I rather like what I call the "benign" sounds of summer celebrations going on. And I'd far rather be hearing people's distant or even nearby fireworks than be subjected to their rowdy partying noise or -- heaven forbid -- their tastes in amplified music!
-
Out of the Rut Vibes for DR Elmore!
-
I took one book (I restrained myself) and about 20 of the shirts/sweaters that will fit me. My dad will look through the rest....I didn't even LOOK at the records.
I just fainted.

Well, I need to get moving. I have a rather important date with the Media Department in a Barnes and Noble. :)

I'll second this fine list.

Had a horrible allergy fit in the night, which I am sure was brought on because of all the dust from cleaning. Took a half a Benedryl, which sort of helped, but made me get up later than I had planned.
-
Before the pill kicked in, I sat up reading a copy of Charleston Receipts that someone gave me. It's the Junior League cookbook from Charleston, S.C., and I've long wanted a copy since Pat Conroy has written about it numerous times.
Some of the recipes (or receipts, as they call them) are wonderful. And it's amazing to see how much anchovy people used to put in their food. I'm all for that.
What isn't surprising however is the level of racism throughout the book. At the top of every page are two silhouettes of Aunt Jemima-type black women and many of the recipes have introductions written in a horrific dialect. This edition was from 1970, so I know it was to be expected. I just never like experiencing it.
-
One of the recipes was for a Shrimp and Corn Pie, which I was going to make for lunch today. But the shrimp at the market looked old and probably smelled older. So I'll have to wait on that one.
There was also one for a rum punch that took 4 days to marinate in an 8-gallon container. It served 275-300 people
-
Allergy-free vibes to John G.
-
"Old shrimp" sounds like it should be a title for something.
-
I was on the trail this morning at 5 a.m. The very small amount of rain we got Thursday was enough to bring out the desert millipedes. I'd never seen one before. I saw dozens this morning. I didn't have my camera with me or I'd treat you to a photo of one.
-
Now I'm ready for a nap.
-
I know DR JOHN G - but the amount of time it took me to find my LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS LP so I could use it in display case next month, convinced me that I don't need any more LP's.
My sister did email to say she had found a few she knew I would want.
-
And now I am off to a meeting of the bored.
-
DR Cilla your new avatar is terrific, what a beautiful photo.
-
From DR John:
Well, I enjoyed "The Monuments Men" overall, as something to have on while cleaning. I really liked the ending when Nick Clooney shows up. I used to watch him when I lived in the Cincinnati area.
I liked that part too. Keith commented the actor looked like he could be George at that age. I laughed and said it is his father Nick. Keith didn't watch AMC in the early years like I did.
-

That is a lot of books-thanks.

It is more worrisome when you are in the middle of a drought and the fire risks are already up to "high". With the temps rising I expect we will soon reach "severe".

DR FJL it is nice you not only helped make your mother's birthday extra special but also enjoyed the celebration weekend.

This intrigued me so I looked it up. I was curious as to the original year it was published (1950) and if the recipes were from the league members or their black cooks. Most of all I wondered if the horrific dialect was genuine, and apparently it is.
"Each section of the cookbook begins with a portion of Gullah dialect and verse. The Meats section begins with the admonition, “Ef dey ain’ bin no meat pun’ de table, de dinnuh ain’ wut!” And the fish section’s introduction is a recipe in itself: “‘E hab uh hebby pan full uh mullet, en’ ‘e hab swimp en’ crab all two, en’ ‘e hab hominy en’ ting.”
"I’ll admit that when my sister gave me this cookbook as a Christmas present, I was as horrified as if she’d presented me with a set of “Mammy” salt shakers. But being a good librarian, I decided to do a little research on the subject, which led me to the Gullah roots of Charleston Receipts.

Hmmmm, can you reduce the amount of servings down to 10?

Did she take them for you?

This morning we used the last of our sour dough bread from San Francisco to make french toast and then went for a walk before it got too hot.
-
DR FJL it is nice you not only helped make your mother's birthday extra special but also enjoyed the celebration weekend.
Thanks, Jane! And having had smooth plane trips both ways, with no delays, was an added lucky bonus.
-
Welcome back, DR FJL!
-
I'm up again. I watched a movie until about eight or so, then went back to bed and slept until one so that must be eight hour all told. But I'm so groggy now and stuffed up, but hopefully in the two and a half hours before I leave I'll be fine.

Thank you for that article. In the beginning of the book, there is the usual garbage from Southern whites about longing for a "more pleasant time." Then they talk about a black servant and put her name in quotes, "Patsie," as if she were a pet. I'm sure "Patsie" wasn't longing for the same "more pleasant time" that was the others were.
But I am going to use the book. There are really good recipes and they seem fairly simple to make. Though I doubt I'm going to make Cooter Pie (terrapin) anytime soon.

Great to have you back, FJL.

Sunday evening greetings! Today was not a Lima day, so we met Rob and Mary Linda at their church. They had a guest preacher - The Very Reverand Dr. Richard Palmer - who delivered an excellent sermon that was much shorter than their usual. We chatted at coffee hour, then made our way to downtown Dayton for my former coworker Leon's memorial service. He had requested that there be a pie reception afterwards and there I visited with many library folks and some from the nonprofit community. I had intended to paint when we got home and Richard was going to do laundry, but we're both pretty wiped out.

I had a couple of errands, and searched the apartment for a bill I'd prepared but not yet mailed. It's disappeared with my Metrocard, and that really freaks me out.
Then I watched a very bittersweet comedy, THE WAY WAY BACK, which I liked enormously.

Welcome back, DR FJL!
Thanks, Larry!

Great to have you back, FJL.
Thank you, John G!
We had BBQ for dinner, and I thought of you!

Yes, it was quite a shock for me to see fireworks for sale when I moved here to Virginia after living in NY state.

That was a very nice tribute to your Mom, Dr Laura.

Well, I have officially been selected to be able to usher for the Joan Baez concert on July 22! This was a late addition to the season, and they (the Washington Center for the Performing Arts) make it sound like EVERYONE IN THE WORLD wants to either see the show or volunteer to work the show. I'm sure that not everyone is in love with her, but I certainly am looking forward to ushering. Evidently, they 988-seat theater is sold out and they have a wait list of 70 for tickets! The audiences certainly want to see the show. I really enjoyed Judy Collins' concert earlier this year. I think my sister's boyfriend said that he wanted to get tickets. I hope he did because if he didn't it's much, Much, MUCH (that's three muches) too late.
-
And now, I'm off to my first rehearsal (paper tech/cue-to-cue) rehearsal for Shakespeare's "The Tempest" at Olympia Little Theatre. It's set in the world of The Wizard of Oz. I can't wait to see how it all works.
Be back later!
-
DR George, I hope your Oz TEMPEST works as well as the Wild West TAMING OF THE SHREW that Richard and I saw at the Folger Shakespeare Library a couple of years ago!
-
DR FJL, was this a milestone birthday for your Mother? Either way, I'm glad she enjoyed herself and that you had smooth travels to and from.
-
I had too many books checked out from the library so I finished the one I was reading.

There was also one for a rum punch that took 4 days to marinate in an 8-gallon container. It served 275-300 people
Hmmmm, can you reduce the amount of servings down to 10?
or just keep it in the fridge and a little glass every evening :)

Watching a really silly, cliched movie called "Love N Dancing," which sadly doesn't have enough dancing in it. It's like they stole every element of "Dance with Me" but left out Cheyenne, Vanessa Williams and Joan Plowright. This has Betty White but for only one scene.

This is not good.

Welcome back, FJL!!

DR George, I hope your Oz TEMPEST works as well as the Wild West TAMING OF THE SHREW that Richard and I saw at the Folger Shakespeare Library a couple of years ago!

-
after the post weeding cleanup I cooked up some dinner, along with the chicken we had rice pilaf an broccoli steamed with a little minced garlic
-
then a nice pot of tea
-
I am afraid I ma getting very sleepy so I bid you all a fond adeiu

Jane would have hated the broccoli at the German restaurant I went to tonight. It arrived with hazelnut butter on top. I liked it.

Back from the show. Tonight's show was a little bit of wonderful - great audience, sold out, and our cast just hit every song out of the park - Brennley Faith Brown (nothing like stopping the show on the first number!), Kim Huber (stunning, as always), Maddy Claire Parks (better and better), Jenna Lea Rosen (sweetest Frank Mills ever), Sami Staitman (better and better, especially on the tongue-twisting Nothing Short of Wonderful), and Robert Yacko (one of his best and he's done a LOT of our shows), along with Jason Graae (his own particular brand of genius in large doses) and Rita McKenzie, who closed the show with her classic I Hate Musicals. John Boswell, brilliant as ever at the piano, and Michael Sterling always the perfect host. All co-produced by Adryan Russ, who had a song in tonight's show from her and Doug Douglas Haverty's musical Inside Out. Richard and Elizabeth Sherman were with us, celebrating their anniversary, so that was fun, and quite a few of our Li'l Abner cast there, too.
