Well, you've read the notes, the notes jumped like a Jew on a pogo stick, and now it is time for you to post until the pogo-sticking cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: AERIOUS!
-
Happy Birthday to (former) DR Rodzinski!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Happy birthday to Rodzinski!
-
Good morning, all.
Coffee!

I'm trying to remember if I had a pogo stick as a wee young 'un or if it's a figment of my imagination. I seem to think I did, but that's not a memory I'm willing to trust any farther than I can throw it. Maybe my sister will remember if one or both of us had one.
-
The very fact of this afternoon's and evening's snow is a depressing and discouraging one for everyone around here.
-
At least I have a great time in the city to look forward to, and I am grateful for that.
-
I need to take a book to read on the train. I'm not in the middle of anything, so I wonder what it shall be. I've certainly got plenty to choose from.
-
I have no idea what I will watch this weekend.
Last night, I watched PANIC IN THE STREETS, one of the great thrillers, and the night before I viewed THE RED VIOLIN, which I also enjoyed.
I'm tempted to watch my Criterion copy of HEAVEN'S GATE, but I'm not sure I want to make a 4+ hour commitment.
-
I did not have a pogo stick when I was a kid. I don't remember very many kids in our neighborhood having them. We may have just missed the fad by a couple of years.
-
Good morning, all! It's a strange day for me: I do not go into Chelsea Music until 2:00 today to proofread one number for "Duck Dynasty." I like to work in the morning, come home and chill out and I hope I can stay awake, since my nap slump is usually around 3 or 4. The only good thing is that my space of time between the work and meeting DR ChasSmith for dinner before he sees PAINT YOUR WAGON is small. I'll probably finish up Chelsea around 5-5:30, then bus up to 57th Street.
I'll spend my time until non working here in the apartment. I'll go to Toyland tomorrow morning, then head to City Center, watch PAINT YOUR WAGON from backstage, hang about for the talkback, then see Rob Berman's fantastic parents before I head home.
-
DR George I am pleased you, and the rest of the cast, did well with the lines.
-
Thanks George. We have a return show from a serious buyer on Sat. I won't hold my breath ;)
-
Are the talkbacks just a Saturday matinee thing?
-

Sorry.
I'm curious if you had a pogo stick.
-
My damaged shoulder/arm is not happy that I polished all that silver.
-
We have 3 new episodes of Call the Midwife to watch. I am very glad we gave Netflix a try again and we are not experiencing the problems that drove us away twice before.
-
Are the talkbacks just a Saturday matinee thing?
Yes. After the matinee.
-
good morning to all
-
i hope they record paint your wagon
-
La dee DAH dee dah dah.
As Madame Rose would say.

I think any show that has a chorus come out and sing "Eternal dooo--oooom" about ten times is aces!
I am in just such a show!
Here are the light man and our assistant director.....Billy the light man is also directing the Accountants musical....Miranda is a very pleasant young lady.

Interesting link DR CILLA LIZ.
DR TCB when I tried to copy the disc, I realized a DUAL LAYER DVD would be required to burn it, so it is lucky that you already have a copy!
-
I Played Piano for the Duchess of Cornwall.
I think DR JOSE should use this as the title of a chapter of his memoirs.

As you can see - the university with millions of dollars in its budget - spares no expense when it comes to the theater department......
-
Friday morning greetings! It's a drizzly day here in SW Ohio and, all in all, I'd rather be in NYC seeing Paint Your Wagon...
-
Good morning, all.
Stay dry vibes for all.
-
It's supposed to rain here all weekend.
-
Two!

Bruce, it sounds like the pain in your calf that you wake up with is a muscle spasm. I get them in bed sometimes when I'm just stretching in the morning (while on my back) and pointing my toes downward too hard. I used to just massage the muscle and wait for it to pass, but then my sister told me to flex my feet - you know, point your toes upward as much as you can. I tried that the next time, and darn, it worked like a charm! The pain went away instantly. I can't wait for you to get another excruciating pain in your calf so you can try it!! :D

The EQUINOX is here on March 20th 2015 and a powerful portal is opening up with a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE and New Moon in Pisces on the same day! Like our ancestors before us, we are being called to pause with reverence and tune in to the greater cosmic cycles that we are a part of.

Yes, happy birthday to former DR and new father RODZINSKI!

And I am off to proofread.

TOD:
I don't know if I'll get to listen to anything but the new Anne Tyler novel, A Spool of Blue Thread, on my ride to and from Austin this weekend. Plus, I'm going to the symphony on Sunday to hear Petroushka.
-
What happened to Rodzinski's hair???
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep. My piano innards aren't coming today and probably won't until Tuesday, which is very annoying - we had rehearsals scheduled on Monday for ALS that now have to be rescheduled unless they're held elsewhere.
-
And I had a call from the publisher telling me my usual guy wasn't working on this book - I lit into this guy like nobody's business - one of those people from the Philippines - and told him that before my main guy even called me to do the deal he'd already insured my guy would be with me again - with my guy everything gets done instantly and the whole process is through in a day. I am not about to start with someone I don't know who will muck it all up and cause me weeks of distress, which is what used to happen before my guy came along eight books ago. So, I called the main guy and left a message.

He swapped the top half for the bottom.

The guy from the Philippines probably thought that was going to be an easy call.

Good afternoon. I passed my cholesterol test. At least the excessive hiking caused my good cholesterol to improve. I had a whopping TWO POUND weight loss.
-
DR George I am pleased you, and the rest of the cast, did well with the lines.
Thanks, Jane!
-
Broadchurch - Series 2 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00QTKCPNU/) has just arrived in Tumwater! I loved the first series (but not the Americanized version) and am looking forward to this continuation of the story.

I'm surprised they even messed with Bruce.
-
I attempted to post from Keith's phone earlier except every time I scrolled down to find the little "post" box the screen went blank.
-
After having a nice walk around the park we were sitting in the car waiting for the all clear from the realtor. We are now home waiting for the window cleaner, and then for the professional realtor photographer.
-
For a home that is not officially on the market we are rather busy. We were going to entertain Saturday night. We have the food sitting in the frig to be cooked but no time to cook it. Our plans will need to be changed.
-
DR TCB congratulations on beating the biting.
I am also a lifelong nail biter, although not quite as serious as your description....I am sure there are underlying psychological issues.....
-
The publisher thing is already taken care of - whoever called me this morning was not in the loop and that won't happen again.
-
Back from a bacon cheeseburger with the helper. And proofing away, although I must go do some banking right now.
-
And I guess we're finally allowed to say it - my song Simply is up for a 2015 Mac Award for Best Song. Given my long history with awards, I'm thinking I don't need to book a trip to NY, but it's nice to be recognized for that particular song.
-
Congratulations on the nomination!
-
I am finally getting a bit of flexibility back in my right arm and shoulder. Fortunately it has only been my upper arm that hurts and not the top of my shoulder, that is the part that is hard to deal with.
-
The number of showing for tomorrow keeps increasing. As of now we have 4 showings which means we need to be gone for 5 hours. One is a repeat, another a couple flying in from out of town just to see our home-interesting.
-
I am now 3 books behind my reading schedule :o

Congrats, BK!
Think of it this way...you're in the top 5! Just imagine how many songs were written during the eligible time period that DIDN'T get nominated! You beat out every one of those!!
:D
-
Congrats to MR BK on his nomination!
-
I am waiting for the photographer to finish so I can take a nice hot shower.

Congrats to BK on the nomination.

I just read that almost for sure Season 6 (next season) of Downton Abbey will be the last. :(
-
Congratulations, BK!! You deserve it--"Simply" is a great song!

Because Maggie Smith is leaving?

Oh, my goodness...Their Favorite Things: Original Kiss Me, Kate Star Celebrates 100th Birthday By Sharing Her Theatregoing Experiences (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/their-favorite-things-original-kiss-me-kate-star-celebrates-100th-birthday-by-sharing-her-theatregoing-experiences-344291)!
Wow! Patricia Morison turned 100 years old yesterday!
-
And I am home from proofreading and dinner with our DR ChasSmth. He went east to City Center and i headed west to 8th Avenue and the 104 bus. The weather is dreadful, and I will not go to Toyland in the morning. I will stay in until around 1:00 and then head to City Center for the encores! matinee.
I can go to Toyland on Sunday and see what I can accomplish.
-
I'm glad you and DR Chas and a nice dinner together.
-
Page three? Really?
-
I shall shortly be on my way to the theater. Finished proofing and I may be able to get together with Grant tomorrow morning, which would be a good thing.

Nicky's vacation may be over before it even got started. The half hour drive to my friend's house turned into an hour and a half drive due to the heavy rain. Nicky cried the entire time in the car. I was not even half way home when I get a call from my friend. Nicky peed all over himself inside the carrier. the room she put him already reaks of urine and will need to have the carpet cleaned. He is still crying once in a while, but she doesn't know if he is going to continue to urinate in the house.
She is supposed to call me back at any time to tell me if I need to come pick up Nicky and take him home.
-
Poor Nicky and poor you! Best of vibes this works out.

Oh, no! Hopefully, Nicky will feel comfortable soon enough!
-
And now, it's time for me to leave work. It's raining here and I left my jacket in my car. I hope my non-water-proof watch and Kindle don't get too wet. :-\
Until later!
-
Do you have a plastic bag or something you can put them in?
-
It looks like Nicky will get to vacation after all. With an emergency phone number left to summon a friend of mine to bring him home if needed.
-
I don't think my friend knows what it is like for a cat to be put into a new environment. New smells, new furniture, and new people. I had a cat that hid for the first forty eight hours in my house. I knew he was okay, because he cam out and ate his food, but that was it.
-
Now I need to throw whatever I can into the suitcase, and then go to bed.
-
I am sorry I can 't stick around.
-
This is shameful.
-
I guess I can change the page.
-
I hope someone else will come here tonight and move things along.

SUPERMEGA VIBES TO DC NICKY~~~~~~~~~
-
Hi TCB!
-
I had a pogo stick when I was a kid. The spring was really big and tight and it was very hard to use. It also hurt when you fell off of it
-
But I was still happy that I had a pogo stick
-
Jumping along to page 4
-
The judge finally ruled on the motion to dismiss so my client's case is officially over, whew!
-
I have to be up in less than 6 hours
-
Sorry, I am not very funny tonight
-
I got pretty behind at the office when I was sick. Tonight I went in and got three applications put together and ready to express mail in the morning. Good start, but lots more to do.
-
Got home about 9:30 and watched part of Judy Garland on American Masters
-
Are you excited about your trip?
-
Hi, Cilla!
-
I never get much sleep before I leave on a trip
-
Hi TCB
-
The judge finally ruled on the motion to dismiss so my client's case is officially over, whew!
Congratulations!
-
Are you excited about your trip?
I am getting excited.
-
Once the plane is in the air, then I can get excited
-
I am very glad that we are changing planes in Dallas, and not somewhere farther north.
-
Tomorrow the library is having a lecture about a WWII prisoner of war camp in Iowa. It wasn't too far from my home town, maybe 40 miles. It housed 10,000 German prisoners of war. I'm planning to go as I heard a lot about it when I was growing up but haven't really heard someone who knew what they were talking about
-
I hope they didn't have snow in Dallas today
-

It was 78 degrees here today, not sure if it was that warm in Dallas
-
So, the plan is up early, work until noon, eat then go to the lecture.

Somehow my history teachers left out that information.
-
TCB what time does your plane leave?
I have to be at the airport at 6:00.
-
My dad used to point out where it was every time we drove past it. Going places with my family was always a bit like a travelogue....an on the right you will see.......
-
The plane doesn't leave till eight, but I have to try and get my seat changed near the front of the plane.

My nails are thin and break a lot. I keep then clipped pretty short or they tear
-
Hey, at least we're on page 5
-
My nails are thin and break a lot. I keep then clipped pretty short or they tear
I have a lot to learn about taking care of my nails.
-
Time for me to read a little and got to bed.
-
Well, have a fabulous and safe trip TCB!!
-
Can't wait to hear all about it
-
That is a lot better than the Page Three when I signed on tonight.
-
It looks like Gonzaga will win this game against North Dakota.
-
Well, you did a lot to keep it moving....night and safe travels...
-
Well, have a fabulous and safe trip TCB!!
Thanks, Cilla, I think I will.
-
I'm cheering for Northern Iowa....well and Iowa, I'm not the die hard basketball fan I used to be
-
G'night!
-
Ok, I really mean it this time..... night
-
And now, it's time for me to leave work. It's raining here and I left my jacket in my car. I hope my non-water-proof watch and Kindle don't get too wet. :-\
Until later!
Do you have a plastic bag or something you can put them in?
Actually, I did. And it wasn't raining very hard, so I didn't melt or anything. ;)
-
I'm watching the series finale to "Glee." I'd forgotten that it was tonight, and I didn't realize that it's two hours. Fortunately, my DVR is automatically recording the whole show.

From what I have heard the Germans liked our war prisons and some decided to stay here. I hope you can go Cilla andtell us about it.

Well...

PAGE SIX DANCE!
-
Lord love a duck, I am home.
Dinner with DR Elmore and an incredible Encores! show = a perfect evening in the city.
And all of it somehow happened in the worst kind of weather imaginable. I don't mean tornado or hurricane type of disasters, just the most miserable wintry crap you could imagine walking around or driving in. At the train station back home it took me fifteen minutes to get my car windows scraped off enough to begin driving. We got the full three inches of snow predicted. Fortunately, the roads had been plowed and I still have my snow tires on (I very nearly had them swapped out for the regular ones this past week), and our neighbor had plowed the driveway so I made it up in one attempt, and without having to get out and do any hard labor.
Lordy.
-
I surely could have made sixteen posts out of that.
-
Oh well.
-
Keith Carradine and new-to-me Alexandra Socha are just incredible in PAINT YOUR WAGON. Really, everyone is. And there's nothing to say about the orchestra and the conducting except the same old same old. It's perfection.
-
I almost feel like I got some windburn on my face, which can only be from walking many blocks through the city in the wrong direction -- i.e., against the direction of the wind and the stinging wet snow it was blowing against everyone. If you were walking north on an avenue or east on a street, forget it.

That's great, ChasSmith! I really do hope that they record this. I'd love a complete (or near-complete) recording to this score.
-
Well, I need to get to bed.
-
Tomorrow, I have to do a little laundry, then go to the cue-to-cue for "Laughing Stock."
-
Hopefully that won't take so long that I would have to leave early to usher for a local production of "Laughter on the 23rd Floor."
-
Our "Laughing Stock" calendar didn't actually specify a starting or estimated ending time, so I hope that that detail would make it okay for me to leave, if I need to.
-
Several friends are in "Laughter...", so I'm glad that I have an evening free to see it.
-
Anyway, good night, all!
