And the word of the day is: FORMICATION!

Good morning, all! I detest Daylight Savings Time. I had a terrible night of sleep, and it will be another week before my sleeping patterns are steady. I hate it.
Today, I have errands: post office, apartment cleaning, and a day to myself.
-
Good news about last night's show!

All of these nice song titles.
-
Monday morning greetings! I woke up at my usual 7am and, due to DST, it was still dark so I went back to sleep - until almost 9. That's very late for me, but I feel quite refreshed.
-
Tonight is our pre-booksale AAUW meeting, which is a soup supper. I have chili in the crockpot, 2 others are making soups, and several members are bringing other sides like veggies, fruit, and desserts. We usually have this event at the booksale site, but it's smaller than past venues and our membership has grown, so we're having the soup supper and business meeting at a nearby church. The sale site will be open before and after for members to get the "lay of the land" before Thursday's opening and to do early shopping (a member perk).

Don't forget I'm looking for one or more City Directories between 1964 and 1979!
-
Thanks for the reminder, DR Elmore!
-
And I just received word that the AAUW Nominating Committee will be able to announce a complete slate of officers for 2015-16!
-
The Complete Slate is the title of my new mystery novel.
-
DR TCB I am insecure enough to think if I said "No" once, they would stop asking.
-
A big hello from court. Woo hoo--another week starts!
-
The Complete Slate is the title of my new mystery novel.
For me it means I'm one step closer to being a lame duck president!
-
From DR TCB:
I think that Washington should have year-round Daylight Savings Time
I agree, however, you know it will be the other way around.
Two time zones for the entire country is interesting. Would that be 2 or 3 hours between them? I'm not sure that would work for those living in the time zones that were changed.
-
Good Morning.

TOD - Easter Parade.
That's all I have for the TOD for now, but only for now :-)

I recently sent a letter to the artistic director of the company in which I am the "resident" musical director resigning my title. These young, childish people feel the best way to run a company is hire their friends to work for them, choose new and "edgy" plays/musicals (and get their friends to be cast in them) and brush aside those who have been loyal to them for 20 years.
Just sayin'...
-
I'm up, I'm up after a horrible night of no sleep - maybe, MAYBE I got four hours somewhere - but I had a terrible allergy attack and the Claritin didn't work, which is unusual, so I finally at four-thirty took some Ny-Quil and Afrin, but my nose kept running and I just could not sleep. The phone rang at 6:45, some 800 number thing, so I will track down that company because they are NOT allowed to call before seven in the morning.
-
My NYPL friend Bob posted a spring song I do not know!

There would only be one hour between the two. This is the article that I read:

This article also suggests two time zones, but two hours apart:

Sorry you felt the need to leave.

DR MATTHEW that is terrible, but it is a familiar story.
I am sure there is another group that would welcome your talents.
-
Things I haven't noticed....
I watched SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS yesterday, and JJ's apartment address is given as 1619 Broadway.....which turns out to be The Brill Building. Who knew?

It's too bad that it came to that, Matthew.

The Cloverdale Clovers.....won their sectional and will be part of the Sweet 16 in the regionals in Class AA Basketball this Saturday.
It doesn't mean much to anyone outside of Indiana.....and it's not like it was when all schools competed against all schools without regard for enrollment....but it's still exciting.
Cloverdale in the 50's and 60's was almost always in the Sweet Sixteen teams in the state to compete.....they will be playing an Indianapolis High School, Crispus Attucks, which has won its regional many years in a row.
So.....good luck to the Clovers - a little town where my cousins live.

Good afternoon, all.
My alarm didn't work this morning, and I didn't wake until 9 a.m. Been running behind all day. I blame it on the constant rain and the time change. (After all, someone or something else has to be at fault, right?)
-
Good for you, Matthew.
-
I have a feeling that those people will miss DR MATTHEW a lot more than he will miss them.
-
Back from a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and some onion rings. Must do some work, but also must relax.
-
Congratulations on a great show, BK.

That tax return cannot arrive soon enough! Today all of my emails in my Inbox from Nov. 2011 to today mysteriously vanished. God knows where they went.
-
As soon as the return lands, I'm buying a new computer.
-
Do you know what you want yet?
-
Sometimes certain email program compress emails.....mine does....but I don't know what happens to them.
-
I have now learned 3/4's of my lines.....time marches on. I shall work on the other 1/4 tomorrow......and then rehearsal on Wednesday.
-

Me, too. I just need to do my taxes.

TCB (and anyone else who might be interested), did you know that Titanic Chamber Revival Will Sail to Los Angeles (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/titanic-chamber-revival-will-sail-to-los-angeles-343746)?
-
Shipped all CDs, and had a visitor pick up CDs and that's that.
-
I need to scare up something to eat. I really don't want to go out.
-
ChasSmith, good luck with the food scaring. ;)
-
Back from my NY weekend.
-
Congrats on the success of last night's show, BK!
-
Page 3!
-
I'm now going to leave work. It's very early for me. I have rehearsal tonight, and I don't have to get there until 8:30, but I want to take a little nap and then work on my lines. Since I have no other plans, this will give me time to work on memorizing.
Be back later!
-
On Saturday I saw an off-Broadway show called "Application Pending." It is a one-woman show starring Christina Bianco, who plays a couple of dozen characters (well, voices). She's very good (and actually has some great youtube videos where she impersonates lots of vocalists) but the show itself wasn't.
-
Hello. I went for a nice long hike. It was only 80F when I got back to the car, but after five hours out in the sun, I was very warm.
-
LOL DR Laura, 80 degrees IS very warm.
-
I also saw "The Audience," with Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II. It's about the meeting she has every Tuesday with the Prime Minister. Dame Helen was really wonderful.
It featured Judith Ivey as Margaret Thatcher (very funny). Surprisingly, Tony Blair makes only a brief appearance. And there are corgis in the house!
-
And as DR elmore mentioned, we had a very nice brunch with DR Ben and DH Anthony.
-
Jane, it was 87 degrees at 5 am in the summer when I started hiking.
-
I went to the TKTS and pondered what show to see. I finally decided on "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," but when I got to the ticket seller I was told there were no tickets left. I waited a while and decided to see "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" again and was told the same thing when I got to the ticket seller!
So I decided to go to the theatre for a seat in the balcony (since I had already seen the show). The show was sold out but standing room tickets were available for $27, so I got one. The house manager told the standees that we could move to an open seat at intermission. Luckily I was able to do so.
I just love the show. While I did prefer Bryce Pinkham as Monty Navarro, the replacement is very good. And Jefferson Mays is hilarious.
-
I also saw Karen Mason at Don't Tell Mama. I enjoyed the show very much and said a quick hello to Music Director and superb pianist Chris Denny.
-
Then it was time to go to 54 Below for the Mack and Mabel concert. It was really terrific. Mr. Barrett sang "Movies Were Movies" and "I Won't Send Roses" wonderfully. Emily Skinner did "Time Heals Everything." Lee Roy Reams, Sean McDermott and Beth Leavel also sang, but I don't remember the names of the songs. Everyone did a great job.
-

I know, it is all relative :)

Sorry to hear this, DR Matthew.
-
It was over 60 degrees today in DC!
-
DR Kevin it sounds like you are having a good day in NYC.
-
I've been cleaning and organizing drawers and cabinets today. I did a difficult purging of stuff today. I am no longer eligible to be on the hoarders show. I try not to focus on what is gone and think what a relief it is to have a neat organized home :)
More to do but the worst is over, for now.
-
Back to work. Step 2 towards M (moving) day will be Friday. We are interviewing a realtor.
-
Jane do you have any thoughts about where you are planning to move?
-
I for one was happy about DST today I was actually able to leave the office at 6:30 and it was still daylight - approaching dusk but daylight all teh same first time I have left the office in daylight in 6 months
-
Jane do you have any thoughts about where you are planning to move?
Nothing concrete, we just go round and round on it. I want to go back to California but with the difference in the cost of real estate & taxes, it isn't going to happen.
It is really hard to imagine moving from here so if the house doesn't sell we will simply continue to enjoy it, even more after the purging.
-

I have always preferred daylight savings, now I'm not sure I do. I wish we would stop going back and forth and just pick one.
-
Back to work because I have been taking too long of a break. It is easier to return to sorting, etc. when it is still bright outside.
-
Well, I figured out what happened to my email. My fault: I thnk it ccurrd while I was compacting email folders to save space. Perhaps when my Mac Man comes to set up the new one, he can retrieve them from the backup yesterday.
-
I am ready for bed. i'm back to proofreading tomorrow at Chelsea Music. Just me and the Duck Dynasty.

Me, three. I just got my last document from the accountant. Maybe I can get started this weekend.

So, how is the score?
-
It was over 60 degrees today in DC!
That's warmer than it was here in San Antonio today. But the rest of the week is supposed to brings highs of over 70 degrees.
-
Shipped all CDs, and had a visitor pick up CDs and that's that.
Looking forward to the mail.
-
Let's move on.
-
Four!
-
Vixmom, I agree with you about it being nice that it was lighter at the end of the day.
Except it's been raining here so much that it was still merely gray. Just not pitch black.
-
Got my invite to Rachael Ray's house party during SXSW this year. Should be fun. Hoping I can get a pass to her music party, too.
-
I am happy for you DR John
-
I have accomplished everything I set out to do today :)
I would have liked to review "The Boys in the Boat" a bit longer to prepare for my discussion tomorrow. I read it awhile ago. I'm sure as we talk about it my memory will return, it usually does.
-
Good news about last night's show!

Not wanting to get any work done.
-
The doctor today was pleased with the weight loss (25 pounds so far), but the nasty little cholesterol reading was nowhere near where it should be. I may eat vegetables three-quarters of the time, but it's apparently time to eat more of them.
-
DR TCB I am insecure enough to think if I said "No" once, they would stop asking.
Believe me, Jack, with your talent you would never have to worry about that.
-
Watching the Carol Burnett-Tracy Ullman version of Once Upon a Mattress. I had heard it was lousy, and it is, but the cast is surprisingly good. There's a lot to like, but the direction and choreography are both too soft.
-
However Jack, if they make an "educational DVD" of ANTIGONE; I think I will have to pass.
-
Trying to relax but am slightly nauseous. I'll now watch a motion picture.
-

Great review, BK!
-
I thought I had a bit of a second wind going, but it seems to have got up and went.
-
My second wind did up and leave. Good night, all.
-
TCB (and anyone else who might be interested), did you know that Titanic Chamber Revival Will Sail to Los Angeles (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/titanic-chamber-revival-will-sail-to-los-angeles-343746)?
Thank you, George. I flew to New York just to see the first performance of the show with Larry's girlfriend Vicky Clark, but I doubt I will fly to L. A. for the revival. But I do love the score.

T.O.D.
EASTER PARADE
IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING
-
If only Irving Berlin had written a Labor Day song, it would have been a much bigger holiday!
-
I don't really remember Easter being much of a holiday, other than the religious part of it.
-
There was always a big ham dinner.
-
And when I was young there was always the candy left by the bunny.
-
And when I was really young, I remember having our picture taken with the Easter Bunny at some of the department stores.
-
I don't think that "tradition" even made it into the Sixties.
-
But it was the participation that I had in the Easter services when I was in high school, that I remember most.
-
I remember the year that I got to carry the cross round the track at the outdoor Sunrise Service. At the time, Jeff Smith (later the Frugal Gourmet) was still a Methodist minister. He was, I believe, the chaplain for the University of Puget Sound.
-
All of the Methodist ministers in town were doing the Sunrise Service together.
-
I was very excited that I was going to be doing the service with Jeff, because I had heard so much about him.
-
Well, he was memorable.
-
He was the rudest, most egotistical minister that I ever met.
-
One more post.
-
Five!
-
Jeff also swore like a sailor.
-
We had a run-thru rehearsal of the service the day before, because there were maybe six ministers, and me involved.
-
I had never heard a minister, or even a priest, ever swear like Jeff.
-
And I am not talking Hell and damn.
-
He was colorful!
-
Years later, when I worked in a really popular restaurant in Tacoma; Jeff was a regular there.
-
He didn't remember me at all. By that time he was doing his show in Chicago, but he still had a house in town.
-
Sorry, but I don't have any positive stories about Jeff.
-
Great! Another page all alone.
-
Anyway, I am worn out. It is time for pain pills and bed time.
-
I am out of here!
G'night!
-
Finished with my viewing. Feeling overtired, and a little badgered, frankly.
-
I'm now going to leave work. It's very early for me. I have rehearsal tonight, and I don't have to get there until 8:30, but I want to take a little nap and then work on my lines. Since I have no other plans, this will give me time to work on memorizing.

Well, we had a pretty good rehearsal. We worked on act I, scenes 3 and 4. I'm not in scene 4, and was just waiting around for scene 6, which we were supposed to go through, too, but it was running late. They decided to let people go if they weren't in scene 4, so I came home.
-
I just watched last Friday's episode of "Glee" and am now watching the PBS special (and pledge drive) "Broadway Moments: The Ed Sullivan Show."
-
Watching the Carol Burnett-Tracy Ullman version of Once Upon a Mattress. I had heard it was lousy, and it is, but the cast is surprisingly good. There's a lot to like, but the direction and choreography are both too soft.
And speaking of "Glee" and Carol Burnett, she was a guest playing Sue Sylvester's mother. They sang "The Trolley Song" as a duet. That was fun. ;D
-
Got my invite to Rachael Ray's house party during SXSW this year. Should be fun. Hoping I can get a pass to her music party, too.
Really?? My niece would be SO jealous! She LOVES Rachael Ray! Congrats and have a great time! When is it happening?
