Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Maude, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently seeing their favorite cowbaret performer, MOOde MOOgart.

Sounds like Maude had a good director for her cabaret act...like you've talked about many times before. :)

I actually don't know if she has a director or not - most need them, but some get on fine without.

Good morning, all! I really wanted to sleep late, but I am heading off to Toyland to pick up the book I left there. I hope to be home by 11:00.

Maude McAfee is the daughter of actor Brandon Maggart and sister of Fiona Apple

Good morning, all.

Did somebody say Sunday?

Because if it's Sunday, I must have an all-day rehearsal.

Okay, a 12:00-5:00 rehearsal.  But that effectively kills the day, does it not?  Why yes, I believe it does.  So I'll do that, then enjoy some time in front of a movie or two this evening, and that will be my day.

Lots of moving about by HHW'ers this morning....except me.  I am staying put.  More rain predicted for today - so the grass will be HIGH this week.

Last night was closing night of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, so today they will be putting up the set for THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER - hopefully the SHOP cast & staff did the cleaning and putting away that they are supposed to do.....we shall see.

I do not have a rehearsal until Wednesday, when we do Act III again.

Nice notes about the cabaret show.

Yes, I hope DR SINGDAW posts a photo of the six-drawer chest.  I don't buy anything from IKEA....I don't like to put things together.

I did put together my writing table/computer desk.....putting on the legs and assembling the drawer, so that wasn't too bad.  It was NOT IKEA, it was a WalMart special....

And I was home by 11:00, with my mystery, some other books and some CDs.  On my way downtown, I read the Act one libretto of Chee-Chee. It owes a great deal to Gilbert & Sullivan; it may be set in ancient China, but the characters are 1920s New Yorkers: Chee-Chee is a spoiled petulant society wife, her husband's a moron, the tartar Chief is the Latin boyfriend, the soubrette is a rich young flapper, the Prince a young, rather dim, playboy, and the Grand Eunuch a mogul, whose idiot son won't take over the family business.  It's rather like a comic episode of THE SOPRANOS. It could all occur in the wilds of Manhattan and New Jersey.

Sorry to be E and T. yesterday I went to the office and worked most of the day.  Then about 3:30 Jon and Joe arrived. They were staying at my parents at the lake and stopped here for the night on the way back to Joplin.  We went to a really fun Elvis themed movie, complete with a quiz and sparkling prizes.  They both had a good time with my friends, which is always nice.   We stayed up very late talking and then got up a 7:30 got ready, packed the car and met Paul for breakfast.  They got on the road about 9:30.  It was great to see then both

I'm really glad they didn't get here until late afternoon yesterday.  It gave me a chance to get a couple projects done at the office that have been nagging at me.  Now I can relax a bit more today and do things around the house.  I may still go into the office later, but only for a little while

It was definitely a God morning for me. The DH has the 5 Sundays of August off, so we've been church hopping to see what is going on around here in the world of church music. This morning we visited 4 different churches. It was quite interesting and varied. But we're exhausted.

That's what it looks like. They have the credit from the insurance company on the bill for the portion they did pay and that was about 30 days ago, so I'm guessing that's what they are doing.

Time to go back out into the heat and finish mowing the yard.  I left a big patch for the maternity ward and maternity ward protection. I can see momma bunny across the street.  Haven't seen her back in the yard, but she'll only come back every 12 hours.

The last load of laundry is in the dryer and the house is pretty clean.

We got a letter threatening to turn us over to a collection agency for a flu shot I got at a pharmacy medical clinic. I told the NP at the time that our insurance wouldn't cover a flu shot; she insisted it would and required my insurance info. TEN MONTHS later we got the threatening letter.

I won't go there again.

Wonderful that you could actually say goodbye, even though it's hard, I'm sure she'll love the CDs and will think of you often.  Sorry she's leaving, but so glad you got to work with her

I picked up a Fitbit today.  That is a step counter.  I do about have the exercise I used to do and that needs to change.  I'm hoping this works and it will motivate me to get off the computer and move more.

This is a good time of year to begin this as there is lots of work to do in the yard.  Most of that involves bending down to pick up leaves, acorns, or apples the bears left behind.  I'm not sure how many steps I will register.

DR Elmore, she looks like a lovely person -- but of course we already know she's a good one for all you've said about her.  But how nice to offer pantry goods, etc.  And she'd better listen to those damned CDs!   (Of course she will.)

I am watching a show on PBS about Girl Groups....but mostly it's a pitch for me to send them MONEY.

The PBS drive is rampant on both stations here. I caught a bit of a folksingers reunion.

I think she and her husband Chris will enjoy them. They were always getting to Broadway shows and then we'd talk about them. i think the last thing they saw was Jim Dale's one-man show.

Jane - I will be very interested to hear your reaction to working with the Fitbit.

If it doesn't register steps on the Stairmaster I doubt I will keep it.   I was going to get the more expensive one until I realized it only counts stairs, real stairs not Stairmaster ones. 

I don't know how accurate these are but it will give me a base to work with.  The goal everyone is supposed to have is 10,000 steps.

Sunday evening greetings from the south side of Owensboro, KY!  The trip that should have taken us about 4 hours took 7 because my sister and I opted to take a scenic route to avoid going through Cincinnati and Louisville.  That worked fine, but shortly after we got on the interstate we ran into torrential rain and we pulled off the highway for a bit.  Then, looking at the radar, it made more sense to take the back roads because they would take us away from the heavy rain.  It was a beautiful drive, but l-o-n-g.

That's a nice piece of furniture DR SINGDAW.

Sounds like DR CILLA LIZ and Co had lots of fun last night.  Which Elvis movie was it?

Harum Scarum,, but we didn't stay for the movie. It was after 10:00 when we left.   There was an Elvis themed coaster contest and an Elvis quiz. My friends were at Graceland at the tenth anniversary of Elvis' death and interviewed people about it.  We watched part of that, but the sound wasn't good, so we left and spent time together at home talking and laughing

Went to the baseball game tonight after unclogging the kitchen sink.   There are only three home games left.  I have a ticket for the last game with fireworks, but it's the night before I have my interview, so I'm not sure if I'll go or not.  I'm thinking I may go for part of the game and leave early.   I'm going to miss the games

From Ms. Streisand's upcoming CD-- a duet with Michael Buble:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t7bqGEw-C4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t7bqGEw-C4)

She sounds really good, and I'll certainly get the CD, but does she only do ballads anymore?  There doesn't seem (to me) to be any variety in her song style choices.  Just my 2¢.
Title: Re: AND THEN CAME MAUDE
Post by: George on August 17, 2014, 09:39:33 PM
I just met my departing physical therapist Morgan. She asked me if i'd like a ton of things from her pantry and refrigerator, and I gave her a package of CDs I'd wrked on over the past 20+ years. I will miss her enormously, and, while I very much like all the therapists who've treated me for the past year, I give her much of the credit for whatever shape I am now in. It broke my heart to say goodbye today.
Wonderful that you could actually say goodbye, even though it's hard, I'm sure she'll love the CDs and will think of you often.  Sorry she's leaving, but so glad you got to work with her

Ditto!!  And it's great that you got to say good bye.

Back from a pretty good rehearsal.

Me, too.  It was HOT in our little space.  No air conditioning...unless we want to buy an air conditioner and pay to have it all installed, which we really can't afford.  At least, not yet.  I'm sure that someday (hopefully sooner rather than later) we'll be able to get one. 

Anyway, I just stood around and watched all the one-acts.  Michael, our light and sound designer was building more cues as the evening went on, which was fine.  It all went well, otherwise.

I wonder if these are going to be available individually.  I bought "Lola," "Umbrellas" and "Rochefort" one at a time from www.amazon.fr.  I don't want to buy those three AGAIN just because I also want "Une Chambre en Ville." :-\
