I am the cleanest person around. I took 7 showers yesterday and six the day before. :)
Now wait just a darned minute - today isn't Friday.
This pretty pink ensemble, although it looks coral in the photo, was worn by the mother of a board member when she left on her wedding trip in 1950. Kathryn, the board member, gave it to us, and we used it in THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER.
It's a nice pleated skirt and jacket/blouse.....I added some pearls after the photo was taken, and a pearl bracelet....and it was so cute.
Theatres love REAL vintage and current clothing in all sizes....even small.

Happy Birthday to our dearly missed PennyO and Dan (the Man)!
Give him a dog.
DR JANE - when you decide to move......you might think about donating your clothes to a local theatre that has its own facility.
I know we welcome clothes to add to our costume collection. And a plus, you might see one of your dresses or one of your mother's dresses onstage!

Does that make them sound like they died?
We can hope. Normally the more my sister and brother-in-law drink, the angrier my niece and step nephew will get. Eventually, I am just glad to get out alive.

;D
I'm glad you are improving. The only suggestion I can add to what you have been doing is to sleep as elevated as possible. I am still coughing from my cold but not sleeping upright as I was at the worst stage of it.
I am reading about the play DR GEORGE wrote about, I think I will buy and copy and suggest it for us in 2016.

Great! I hope that I get to be in it in 2015. :)
Right, you have a water bed. It is difficult enough sleeping upright in a regular bed. Is your cough loose?
Just had a couple of small errands this morning. So those are taken care of.
RE: THE PARTY
DR CILLA LIZ - it's a good thing you don't play the piano.....it would be too difficult to get it into the car.
Maybe they are going to have a quartet play a song or two.....but it doesn't sound very polite to me.

DR George your evening sounds like fun. I hope you are able to audition for the show in February.
Hi there. Tonight is my school's Christmas Program. We've ran it twice today, hopefully it will go well this evening. Last night I saw the National Tour of Kinky Boots[\i] and found it quite enjoyable. I liked about 90% of the score, but it was obvious where the composer left off and the arranger took over. Personally, I'm a little tired of said arranger and his said arrangements. You can spot them a mile away.

Must be Glen Kelly?
I don't know why any composer for a Broadway show would need an arranger. For show music, that's kind of the job of the composer. You think Kander has an arranger? Sondheim? Charles Strouse? This whole stupid thing kind of began with The Producers and Glen Kelly, trying to take some hummed stuff and make songs out of it. Sondheim once balked at an arranger credit on one of our Sondheim CDs because he said he didn't understand what that meant. I explained it as best I could and even though we'd futzed with stuff and done slightly different things like opening vamps, or moving stuff around, I ultimately pulled the credit.
My attachment to old clothes is that I want to lose weight......I did finally donate my 32" waist pants, medium shirts, and size 42 jackets to the theatre.
Sometimes it is odd to play a scene with someone wearing something that had been in my closet since the late 20th century.
I once took a crazy t-shirt to good will, someone bought it at the good will store and gave it to Paul, because it was so strange....he wore it to coffee one day and I almost did a spit take when I saw it
I finished up a song when I couldn't sleep last night, and I've been finessing it most of the day, and it's going to be in the January young person's show - sung by Sami, as the opening number. I've been working on this damn thing on and off for nine months. The music came right away, but the lyric had to be very specific for the character who'll ultimately sing it - but that character has been developing over the last six months. I guess I can spill partial beans and say that I'm creating and writing a one-person show for Sami about a fourteen-year-old girl. This grew out of a monologue I wrote three years ago for Melody Hollis. It was really funny and they'd come to me because they could not find any good monologues for that female age group and certainly nothing funny. So, I began to think about expanding that into a series of monologues, which I then began to do. But then I put it aside when I stopped working with her (thanks to her mother), and started thinking about it again at the beginning of this year. I still liked the idea and I talked to Sami and her mom about it and the challenge it would be and Sami was very up for it. So, we've done a bunch of meals and I've asked her lots of questions and out of that has grown about nine monologues so far, but it's also morphing into not just spoken monologues, but also songs, some of which I'm putting in the show because they're perfect for it (like Annie), and most of which I am writing as I go. At some point early in 2015, we'll do a private reading for friends and see how it feels. The structure is everything - right now it's just a bunch of monologues and songs and I have to sequence them and make sure there's a build and flow. If we succeed with this, I think it would be very popular as a performance piece for talented young people, and the monologues themselves can be excerpted and used singly.
Thursday evening greetings! I turned in the keys to Mom's old apartment at 5:10pm today. My sister, brother-in-law, niece, and I are all exhausted - physically AND emotionally. The staff in Albright Hall have their work cut out for them.

BK, you do realize that this could've been broken up into more than three hundred posts!

I wonder if the food scene there is as sophisticated as it is in San Antonio!
DR Jane, I could not have done this without their help and Richard's and Rob's.

Not without having a break-down.
The DH is currently in bed with a 103 degree fever. I am trying to avoid catching whatever it is. And he HAD the flu shot, too!

Or another heart attack.
What to get someone who will be moving in a few month, nothing big. I was thinking of sending a nice gift certificate for a local restaurant.
Any suggestions on a gift certificate that would help pay moving expenses?

You could just get one of those visa gift cards that you can use anywhere that accepts visa

We're thinking along the same lines, DR Cillaliz!

A gift card for gas? Or a MasterCard gift card that can be used for anything?
