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

Good morning, all! It was a particularly bizarre night: I had wanted to be in bed by 10:00, and since the meds seemed to be taking their time, i decided to take them earlier.  So, around 7:00 I took the pain medication from my back/sports injury specialist, which is pretty negligible. Around 8:00, I took one of the muscle relaxers. By 8:30 I was semi-conscious, so I went to bed. At 10:00, I woke up, decided to take a Tylenol for arthritis, and passed out some  time after 10:45.  At 3:00am, i was wide awake, with a song from Jerome Kern's Oh, Lady! Lady!. I tried to get back to sleep abd around 4:45 figured the hell with it.

So, i've been up since 4:45, I'll go to physical therapy, and probably spend the remainder of the day mentally and physically fatigued and not worth a damn to anyone.

I hate this crap!

Ah, yes.  Under the Skin .  Yes indeed.  I'll have my copy tomorrow and will make time to properly watch it within the following couple of days.

BUT ... what I have to do first, which I've been promising myself for the past several months, is reread the original novel by Michel Faber in order to positively reinforce my own mental images of that for all time.  They are too precious to let go.  I know the film is going to be its own thing, and that's all well and good, but this book is just special.

A friend who's a voracious and trusted reader guaranteed I'd be riveted, and warned me not to read ahead at any point.  It turned out to be one of the best recommendations ever.  The locale and goings on were totally compelling.  I knew "something" was up that needed to be revealed, but I was blown away by both the journey and the final result, and I never dreamed that anyone would attempt a film version.  Well, of course one should never say never to that -- right?

I've been careful for months not to read spoilers.  I do know the film doesn't attempt to literally recreate the book.  Which is good.  It sounds like it's as unique in its own way as the source.  And I'm actually not one bit worried about how much I'll like or not like it.  But that's why I must experience the book again -- while I can still see that world and have that story unfolded for me, before letting this new one in to compete or sit alongside it.

I just got my Miami University alumni magazine, and I was saddened to learn of the death of Robert Kane, who taught me four years of Latin and a year and a half of Greek; he was, I'd guess, the best instructor I ever had. When we weren't talking about Latin, we were raving about musical theatre. He was from Manhattan, and he'd been going to theatre since he was a child. Whenever I got bored discussing Virgil, I'd ask him about the 1956 production of CANDIDE, which he'd seen over a Christmas holiday from Holy Cross. He was a genius, a wonderful teacher, and the world's a less intelligent place today.

He was young. He died on January 2, eight days before his 76th birthday.

Happy Hump Day, all!

It's been an interesting flashback week. I had heard some time ago that there was a bootleg video floating about somewhere of the production of CHESS that I did in 1990 with Jodi Benson. It was David Bell's version using the London orchestrations, some of the NY book, some of David's book additions and some elements of the Australian production.

I discovered someone last week who had streamed that very bootleg on his Tumblr twice, just last month, and through him, I found the files online. I now have them and have watched the entire show. I had a good laugh at the hairstyles, some of the clothes and some of the Solid Gold Dancer-esque choreography, but all in all, it was quite a good production. And it is always intriguing and full of lessons to watch your younger self work.

Since the video is in VOB format, I'm going to attempt to transfer it into mp4's and edit the transfers to post a few bits on YouTube and maybe on my site.

Then last night, Fran Soeder, who directed me in both SUNDAY IN THE PARK and MARRY ME A LITTLE, sent me a scan of some set sketches and photo proof sheets from MARRY ME A LITTLE from '87.

So, a good career time of the past returns. I wonder what that message means. Hopefully more good things soon. We shall see.  :)

Not only was he young when he died, he was very young when he was your professor.  Condolences to you and to all who loved Dr. Kane.

When I was 18, he was 26; he always seemed older. He must have finished his Ph.D. and come straight to Oxford. My freshman year, I was a terrible student: I cut classes regularly and was generally seen playing on campus rather than studying. At one point, after I'd missed about three weeks of classes, he said to me, "I don't care if you come to class but could you at least keep in touch?"

Well, I almost flunked out at the end of my freshman year, and that ended that nonsense. It was the dean's list every year after that.

If you don't know the movie, some of the dialog might seem, well, outre. But that's what left me howling after seeing the movie and then forcing it on friends, most of whom liked it. My pentecostal sister did not.

Keith was able to see the doctor today, the one that had to cancel at almost the last minute.  I'm impressed, the doctor apologized and was relieved to find out the office caught Keith before he left the house.

The bad news is Keith, as we had feared, will need surgery for a subluxing ulnar nerve transposition.  The surgery is called submuscular ulnar nerve transposition and will have a 6-8 week recovery.  At least it is in his left elbow.  Due to symptoms of popping in his elbow, tingling & numbness in his fingers, etc. Keith had self diagnosed & self treated.  The orthopedists said Keith treated exactly as he would have for the initial amount of time.  Since that didn't work the next step is surgery.   >:(

He once told me I read and scanned Latin verse, Virgil's AENEID in particular, better than anyone.  In my freshman year Latin, we read Plautus' MENAECHMI, and snce it was the source for Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, he made the class listen to the Lehman Engel recording of BOYS FROM SYRACUSE.

Has anybody listened to the recording if Heathers? I had loved the movie and find this to be fun. High schools won't be staging this one. They've kept the black humor intact.

I have it, but have only listened to it once.  I want to give it a couple more listens before forming an opinion.  I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know anything else about it.

If you don't know the movie, some of the dialog might seem, well, outre. But that's what left me howling after seeing the movie and then forcing it on friends, most of whom liked it. My pentecostal sister did not.

Give your sister the DVD of SAVED. She'll like HEATHERS better!

I just got my Miami University alumni magazine, and I was saddened to learn of the death of Robert Kane...He was young. He died on January 2, eight days before his 76th birthday.

Not only was he young when he died, he was very young when he was your professor.  Condolences to you and to all who loved Dr. Kane.

When I was 18, he was 26; he always seemed older. He must have finished his Ph.D. and come straight to Oxford. My freshman year, I was a terrible student: I cut classes regularly and was generally seen playing on campus rather than studying. At one point, after I'd missed about three weeks of classes, he said to me, "I don't care if you come to class but could you at least keep in touch?"

Well, I almost flunked out at the end of my freshman year, and that ended that nonsense. It was the dean's list every year after that.

Good for him, and so sorry for your loss. I wish I had had teachers like that before my last few semesters of grad school.

He once told me I read and scanned Latin verse, Virgil's AENEID in particular, better than anyone. 

What an incredible complement from someone you had such great respect for.

I haven't thought about Latin and Greek since I abandoned Classics for Theatre in 1968. Occasionally, I will think that's a periphrastic phrase, but it all seems so long ago now. The one thing learning Latin grammar did was perk up my English grammar, and I am very grateful for that.

He was, but he always had the look of an unmade bed about him, slightly wrinkled, always smelled like a smoker. It was lung cancer that killed him.

I just came home from my niece's swim meet.  The final score was 528-516. OMG!  My niece won all 3 of her races.  Her only real competition is if they put the top girl in the winter swim team (her teammate) in the same race (which they almost never do).  Our pool won by 12 points. The other team won the last 3 relays. The last one is our male lifeguards vs theirs. It was neck and neck and they won by a tiny margin (they touched at basically the same time).

SHOULDER VIBES for DR Mike!

And to all the rest of yez with shoulders.    :)

Seriously, these shoulder things sound awful.  I've been through two experiences of "frozen shoulder" in the past several years.  This, at least the way I've had it, has no particular treatment.  It eventually goes away by itself just as mysteriously as the way it came.  But it restricts your arm movements like crazy, for months, and can be very painful if you're not careful.

I just got my Miami University alumni magazine, and I was saddened to learn of the death of Robert Kane, who taught me four years of Latin and a year and a half of Greek; he was, I'd guess, the best instructor I ever had. When we weren't talking about Latin, we were raving about musical theatre. He was from Manhattan, and he'd been going to theatre since he was a child. Whenever I got bored discussing Virgil, I'd ask him about the 1956 production of CANDIDE, which he'd seen over a Christmas holiday from Holy Cross. He was a genius, a wonderful teacher, and the world's a less intelligent place today.

He was young. He died on January 2, eight days before his 76th birthday.


Oh, Larry, I am so sorry about your loss.
