Well, you've read the notes, the notes were successfully sequenced, and now it is time for you to post until the sequenced cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: WHEEDLE!

Sandy Sequencing sounds like a great name for a character in a novel.

Good morning, all!
Thanks to a twit I know who doesn't listen to me, I must be at Toyland early to use the printer to print out several scores. I told him last week that i would need the files by Sunday morning, since I have more important work than looking over five of his scores and i was going to spend sunday doing him the favor. So, they arrived in yesterday's emails,and since it's not work but a favor, I would love to tell him to forget it.
But guilt runs big, so I will look at the scores and give my opinion, even if his idiocy screws up my schedule. I'd rather be home; I've finally got some work since June, and I need the income. I also cannot schlep much back home from Toyland until the elevator is running again, and that's one more aggravation at the moment.
-
It's raining. I will go down to Toyland tomorrow. I've got Paint Your Wagon to work on.
And the NYPL at noon.
-
Yesterday, 1960, Irma laDouce opened on Broadway. I was fortunate to meet Elizabeth Seal, courtesy of Roderick Cook, around 1984.
-
It's Tuesday. I know that much.
-
Good morning, all.
I think it's Tuesday here, too.
-
good morning to all

waiting for results from blood tests for my thyroid today to see if we are moving ahead for the operation
-
As for my knee getting another MRI and hoping that this will lead to (another) operation
-
Tickets purchased and printed.
-
Good Morning All -- yup, it's Tuesday here also on the left coast!
-
waiting for results from blood tests for my thyroid today to see if we are moving ahead for the operation
Sending prayers and good vibes to DR Mike for positive results!

Tuesday morning greetings!

Here, too! 7pm shows both nights - I can't wait!

And the word of the day is: WHEEDLE!
And The Song Of The Day Is: FOLLOW ME
-
DR Elmore -- I still can't get over your elevator incident. Why didn't those stuck in the darn thing jump thru the upper hatch in the ceiling like they do in the movies! Hope they get the elevator in operating mode really soon!
-
Well, time to finish getting ready for the day. Make it a good one!
-
DR Elmore -- I still can't get over your elevator incident. Why didn't those stuck in the darn thing jump thru the upper hatch in the ceiling like they do in the movies! Hope they get the elevator in operating mode really soon!
Because they're older people? Because they panicked? I don't even know which apartment they were visiting, only that it was on the 4th floor.
-
I had planned to go help with book sale prep this morning, but hadn't planned to be awake for several hours in the middle of the night unable to sleep. Didn't get up (the second time) until 9:30. By the time I had my first cup of coffee, ordered Kritzerland NYC tickets, and had breakfast it was too late to get myself downtown before they'll be ready to quit for the morning.
Oh, well, my absence will enable them to talk about all the ways I'm screwing up as president.
-
At work. Contemplating the start of my day. Hope to finish up our monthly report this morning so that I won't have to worry about it any longer. It's due Friday.
-
Good morning from Oakland in California.
-
Tuesday.

Sequencing vibes for Mr BK.
The show sounds wonderful, as usual.
New York Sell Out Vibes.
Moving Office Vibes for DR VIXMOM.
Checking the score and elevator vibes for DR ELMORE.

Today, I bet DR JENNIFER finds her scissors.

Good Morning All:

FAVORITE MUSICAL YEAR:
Hands down, my favorite musical LES MISERABLES

Well DR"S I viewed most of my DVD"S from the library which included:

Last night I submitted, using THEIR online form, a press release about our AAUW book brunch. I received a confirmation email with the following disclaimer:
"Submitting your press release on our website does not guarantee that it will be published nor that any newsroom staff will see it."
Explains a lot...
-
Afternoon, all!
TOD: 1963 seems to be a pretty good year, with two of my all-time favorite scores ("She Loves Me" and "110 in the Shade"), a little British import called "Oliver," and some forgotten shows with some interesting songs ("Hot Spot," "Here's Love," "Tovarich")
-
Send it to us....but we probably won't read it....thanks.

That's about right, DR JRand!
-
I'm up, I'm up - got about nine hours of blessed sleep.
-
T.O.D.
I would have to say 1964, as well. Or possibly 1967, just because of CAMELOT, which is my favorite movie musical of all time.
-
TOD:
Difficult to choose. My favorite musicals are spread out over several years...1950, 1952, 1962. So, one of those years, I guess.

My weekend E & T-ness is just getting out of hand! I missed DR JohnG's birthday!
Well, here I am to elongate your birthday experience with a very happy belated birthday wish. Hope it was a fun time, DR JohnG!

From DR Vixmom:
"Oh wow, what a sexy voice, I think I have the wrong number ,which is too bad because I could talk to you all day. Have a great day."
:D
You need to change your quote.
-
I am home from the Library and back to work.
-
And the word of the day is: WHEEDLE!
The only other time I've ever heard this word used:
There were these two, you see,
Wanted her like mad,
One of 'em a judge,
T'other one his beadle.
Every day they'd nudge
And they'd wheedle.
Still she wouldn't budge
From her needle.
Too bad. Pure thing.

Today, I bet DR JENNIFER finds her scissors.
:)
I hope that I do find them one day. Mostly because I am so curious where they could be. But I'd be surprised to find them so soon as I had looked everywhere multiple times.
-

I didn't know it till I saw him on Sunday. I am a fan of his, but I think less so since his split with Idina.
-
Hello from Fun City! My friend Paul is on his way from California via Chicago, on Amtrak. Unfortunately, his train is 6 hours late ! It was supposed to arrive at about 6:30 pm. I guess I might as well see a show!
-
Health vibes for DR Mike!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That Fall picture is very pretty. But I'm not ready for cooler temperatures.

Thank you, MBarnum (and Bob and Johnny Moore). It was a great day.

Bob and Johnny always send the BEST cards! :)

Mega vibes for Mike.

So now that I finally have my new driver's license, this morning I was finally able to get my new public library card!
Yipppeeeee!

1935. It was the year of Jubilee, Jumbo, and Porgy and Bess.
-
So now that I finally have my new driver's license, this morning I was finally able to get my new public library card!
Yipppeeeee!
Congratulations!
It doesn't seem right that you have to have a driver's license to get a card. I suspect a couple of other forms of ID would have worked.
-
Tonight, I will have the pleasure of hearing Nathan Gunn, baritone, in recital. I suspect that he will not be dressed like this, however. But one can always hope.

I guess I didn't need to rush the gifts off to little Elinor. Her mother is still pregnant even though her due date has passed. I just adore the conversation her mother put on FB today:
Me: "Elinor, I don't know about you, but I'm tired of waiting for this baby to come."
Eli: "I'm not. The baby will get most of the attention."
-

Thanks, DR George.
On both counts.
;D

Not to be too gross, but this morning I managed to dislodge two disconcertingly large chunks of ear wax. I know that your sense of balance is contained within the inner ear, and they must have been pressing there, because once they came out, I got terribly dizzy.
It finally subsided enough that I felt safe to drive to the pharmacy. When I asked about over-the-counter aids to combat nausea, the pharmacist suggested ginger or flat coca-cola. I decided to purchase some generic dramamine. So far, it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. :P
-
The funny thing is that Nathan played Billy Bigelow in the NY Philharmonic concert presentation of Carousel; his real-life wife (who is accompanying him tonight on the piano) is named Julie Jordan.
-
And the word of the day is: WHEEDLE!
The only other time I've ever heard this word used:
There were these two, you see,
Wanted her like mad,
One of 'em a judge,
T'other one his beadle.
Every day they'd nudge
And they'd wheedle.
Still she wouldn't budge
From her needle.
Too bad. Pure thing.
;D
Lorenz Hart uses it in his lyrics for "I Beg Your Pardon" in DEAREST ENEMY:
I’m sure I beg your pardon,
I must withdraw my hand,
I’ve not planned to be wheedled,
So don’t misunderstand.

Well...umm...I...umm..."wheedled" is not the same as "wheedle", so it's still the only time that I've heard the word "wheedle".
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. ::)
:-*
-
DR Singdaw I would have expected dizziness to go away, not arrive. I hope you are feeling better. I prefer Bonine as it is chewable and I have more control over how much I take. I've only used it for motion sickness but I have known doctors to recommend Bonine or Dramamine as you are using it.
-
Soda crackers work for me DR SINGDAW.
-
Or Vernor's.
-
I imagine Nathan will be dressed like that some time during the day today, just probably not during the recital.
-
DR JENNIFER I think I asked before, but did you look inside ALL of your scrapbooks?
-
Soda crackers work for me DR SINGDAW.
Unsalted matzos works better for me.
Sipping soda should be done in occasional small sips.
-
Off soon to usher for Santana. Hope I at least get to hear some of the concert tonight.
-
Back from a lovelier than lovely lunch meeting with Sandy and Michael Sterling, then picked up some packages, including the new Blu and Ray of Sundays and Cybele - tonight's viewing - in fact, maybe today's viewing, since I won't get home until after nine from the radio show.
-
Well, so far exactly two dear readers have made reservations for the Kritzerland shows. I will hope to see many more in the coming days.
-
Off soon to usher for Santana.
I would think that Santana can be her own usher!

:D

DR stingjaw: Sometimes, dizziness is simply a state of being and owes no allegiance to ear wax.
I think you should do a handstand and then see what happens.
;)
-
The few times I tried Dramamine for going out on a friend's boat, it never did much for me. Even if it did, in fact, prevent a touch of seasickness (I always eventually got used to it and would gain my sea legs after several hours or a day or more), it gave me a weird feeling in the head. Or something. I don't remember too clearly and haven't tried it in years. Of course that's mainly because I finally learned to stay off the damned water! :)
-
The ginger or Coca-Cola suggestions are what would appeal to me.
-
I don't like the side effects of meds for motion sickness, even natural ginger pills bother me. Sometimes not using something is far worse.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
DR JENNIFER I think I asked before, but did you look inside ALL of your scrapbooks?
Haha, others have suggested the same thing. I did check. But scrapbooks are 12X12 and the scissors are 14 inches. So they would not fit in there.

:D
The musical theatre choices were great. The funny ones not so much.
-
I am eating a tasty little apple from our tree. It isn't often there are good ones to eat.
-
Well, I must be off. Several of us on the Theater Artists Olympia board are having a meeting to plan our second annual "TAO of the Dead" fund raiser. It'll be on November 1, which is the Day of the Dead...get it?? ;)
Be back later!
-
Get me off this damn page.
-
Listening to an upcoming release - we'll try to have this one done by next week so we can finally get a new album out into the universe.
-
And it will be a VERY quick seller.
-
I wonder if SongSinger is pregnant
-
I have no news
-
We enjoyed the first episode of LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX.
-
the Vixter wheedled me into treating her to a dinner at the Texas Roadhouse
-
Truth to tell, she did not have to wheedle long
-
Does anybody SAY truth to tell anymore? Anyone other than me, that is?
-
Someone at the office said that I "use antique language" the other day... (and this someone is a only a couple of years younger than I) when I used the phrase "turn out your pockets"
(which I thought a perfectly normal and serviceable phrase)
-
She then started pointing out other examples of my "antique language", such as the fact that I regularly use words such as "therefore" and "henceforth" and "alternately" in my conversations.
-
I restrained myself from mentioning that she regularly used phrases such as "Me and her was going there" and "I seen that"
-
But I digress...
The Vixter wheedled, I succumbed, and we popped down the road and had a fine dinner at the Texas Roadhouse
-
and now we are home
-
I am in my comfy cozy pjs and fuzzy socks, reclining in my comfy cozy recliner with a full tummy and the tea is brewing in the pot.
-
Well here is the update.
I am getting another MRI for my knee.
The thyroid doctor will call me tomorrow to discuss "a plan of care" as the phone message said today.
I am wondering what that means. Is it better than I thought it would be or worse? I will be anxious to hear what he has to say.
-
There are several pages dedicated to Bruce Kimmel and The First Nudie Musical in this book

"a plan of care"
That could mean almost anything!

THAT'S IT!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

I, for one, am looking forward to The Blessed Event.
-
DR Bway it appears Taye Diggs is going to be a regular cast member of the show. Have you read anything about this?
I have not, but thanks for the heads up -- the news makes me smile! :D
-
Mr. Gunn was charming and handsome and sang beautifully. His wife was equally accomplished.
One interesting thing: she accompanied the entire recital from an iPad propped on the piano rack. Therefore, she didn't require a page-turner, accomplishing the task herself. I personally would be worried about paging more than one page ahead with an errant swipe of the finger.
-
DR vixmom, a few people have pointed out my own use of an occasional word or phrase that strikes them as somehow antiquated. Either that, or they're fooled into thinking I'm British or something because I "speak so correctly".
What's hard to believe is that you're getting it from somewhere of almost the same age. But your example of her own speech habits would seem to explain all.
-
I like that way of speaking myself.
But then, I like the Oxford Comma.
:)
-
Death to the Oxford comma.
-
Got to cover the boxes on one side of the house tonight, which means the uber-rich folks. And man, were they nasty. Out of four boxes, three complained that the one waiter assigned to the area wasn't fast enough. One guy even left the box and yelled at me down the hallway. When they finally assigned a second waiter, everyone had had enough to drink, so it was too late.
Then one woman complained about the quality of the vodka. She earned no sympathy from me. I can't stand the stuff.
-
But Santana was wonderful. He played for about two hours, a lively mix of classics like "Evil Ways" and "Oye Como Va" and the new stuff, including "Corazon."
-
He had a great band with him, and they were able to solo or duet with him on some interesting stuff that he's not known for, including "Rose of San Antone" for the audience, a Miles Davis piece, the Police's "Roxanne," etc.
-
But I didn't get into Paul McCartney tomorrow night.
-
And I'm OK with that.
-
Can we move this along?
-
One more'll do it.
-
And the more'll of the story is: Five!
-
Did Vixmom make her reservation?
-
The radio show was fun, stopped at Gelson's and got a snack and will now watch a motion picture.
-
One more'll do it.
I heard that a little dab'll do it, too.
-
I wonder if SongSinger is pregnant
THAT'S IT!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
;D
-
Did Vixmom make her reservation?
not yet - Vixmom is still trying to determine the number of tickets she will require
-

-
The radio show was fun, stopped at Gelson's and got a snack and will now watch a motion picture.
I read that sentence as "The radio show stopped at Gelson's for fun"
-
Did Vixmom make her reservation?
not yet - Vixmom is still trying to determine the number of tickets she will require
and, if she will, indeed, be able to attend both shows
-
Good night, all.
-
Page five? Really? Really? Page five? Really?
-
Enough with page five say I.

We need a frenzy or six.
-
Okay, apparently everyone feels their job is to not post.
-
I find that very irritating.
-
Just so you know.
-
I'm watching Tony Bennett from last night's The Tonight Show.
-
I got to see him live here in Olympia about 15 years ago. He still sounds as good. :)
-
Listening to an upcoming release - we'll try to have this one done by next week so we can finally get a new album out into the universe.
And it will be a VERY quick seller.
BK, will this be a world premiere release?
-
It's a reissue of a CD that's been OOP for almost fifteen years, and this release blows the previous release to hell and back - that release was in mono save for a handful of stereo tracks included as bonus tracks, due to not being able to use the bulk of the stereo at that point in time. Thanks to all this new-fangled technology, we reverse the balance and present most of the score, 90% of it in stereo, with only a handful of mono tracks that are so seamlessly used you won't even notice.
-
Someone at the office said that I "use antique language" the other day... (and this someone is a only a couple of years younger than I) when I used the phrase "turn out your pockets"
(which I thought a perfectly normal and serviceable phrase)
Every once in a while, I'll use something like "with whom" or "about which." In the musical Blondel, one of the songs has the line, "Include me out." I've used that a couple of times and gotten weird looks. My plan worked!
;)
-
I restrained myself from mentioning that she regularly used phrases such as "Me and her was going there" and "I seen that"
A few years ago, I was riding in a car with a friend and she waited a little to long to make a left turn, and then had to wait a little longer for cars to pass and she said, "I shoulda went."
-
I watched the premiere of the new show, "Selfie."
-
I like both John Cho and Karen Gillan.
-
I don't know how long it'll last, but I think I'll watch it while it does.
-
Karen Gillan is tech-obsessed...she has thousands of Twitter followers but no real friends.
-
One of my favorite lines is, "All my friends' names start with @ signs."
-
Well...
-
...since we're so close...
