Good morning, all! I remember bits of several dreams last night.  First, another Drama Book Shop dream about their ridiculous inventory system, and then some about the Charge of the Light Brigade and the Crimean War. Oy! I remember too little of  either one to explain my presence.

This morning, I will leave here around 8:15 and head down to 48th Street to attend the first day of recording sessions for PAINT YOUR WAGON.  I'm looking forward to seeing friends and listening to the Encores! orchestra play that wonderful score.

Yes we have big Facebook drama today.....so I finally had to unfriend my nephew and his bipolar wife who is 28 years older than he is....

I didn't join in the comments on the thread, but it was so ridiculous.....she has him convinced that his family never loved him, held him back, and do not want him to be happy.....and he never calls, talks, or visits any of his family.....they came to see us last month - which was a shock.....

She says it takes her three weeks to get him "back to normal" after he has any contact with his family.

ANYWAY....that's just the tip of the iceberg and not worth talking about anymore...except to say that Facebook does NOT help...it is actually the anti-communicator.

I am a newbie to Facebook. I didn't really want a Facebook page. But then again I wasn't all that much of a caller or texter and I very rarely take photos. You can say I'm a man from another time. Maybe I really was a monk at one time, copying books and drawing all of those calligraphy curlicues.

Speaking of Facebook, I was at my usual Indian eatery yesterday (it's a bit too modest to call a restaurant), when a young woman got in the buffet line behind me. She was on her phone and I could hear her say, "Mom, can I call you back? I'm at the Indian place." She looked at me with a "What can I do?" look. I said, "Mothers!" understandingly. We happened to both be leaving at the same time and she started up a conversation, telling me how she didn't even buy a cell phone until she was 24 and was required to do so for her job. She feels pressure to be available 24/7. She said that she's not even on Facebook. I'm not, either, but was surprised to hear a twenty-something say this. Perhaps I'm not the only person on Earth who cares about privacy.

from DR Dan M from last night:
I think there was a Sharon Schnitte in my junior high class. She had bad pyrrhuloxia, so she would literally drink bottles of Listerine all day. That caused her to go to Dr. Thamakau who fixed her caudillismo and her canutenpin.

Perhaps I'm not the only person on Earth who cares about privacy.

This reminds me of face-to-face conversation vs. texting and phoning (and maybe Facebook can be added here as well). When I commuted daily on the LIRR, there were people who were talking the whole ride from Manhattan and then you'd see them meet up with their significant other, with whom they were blabbering on the phone with for nearly an hour, and you could tell that they had already expended their conversation fodder. Just as email has ruined the handwritten letter and the postal service. Just as texting has ruined spelling, grammar and syntax. Facebook is likely to ruin the art of conversation in person. Some people just don't get subtleties or don't think much of their audience by having to resort to ALL CAPS TO GET THEIR POINT ACROSS. Or, they need the crutch of any number of abbreviations as if the person reading the post could not figure what it all means for themselves.

Anyway, I YIELD the soapbox. LOL :)

Today, Mike, my volunteer driver for cancer patients, took me out shopping. One of the stops was at a thrift store, and there I found a CD that I hope is good. It looks brand new. It's a 2 CD set of "Sunday in the Park with George" the 2006 London cast recording. As I may have mentioned before, I would like to become more familiarized with B'way musicals as I had paid more attention to dramas.

Great! and, George, the other good part of this is that at this particular thrift store, for the Humane Society, they charge $1 per CD. So this was $2 and it goes to help dogs and cats.

Had a very long day - but our run-through was not bad - Sami really came out and took the stage for the first third of the show.  Then her focus began to go and she was forgetting what followed what and some of the staging and the final third her energy just flagged and there was no performance hardly.  It was a really good lesson for her, but there is a really good show here and if she can just keep her stamina at full speed and understand the ebbs and flows, and then when we actually have rehearsal we'll find lots more places where she can have lots more fun and we'll have the time to develop those moments at our own pace.

Watching Barbara Cook sing "Somebody, Somewhere" from "Most Happy Fella." She would have made an amazing Amy in that show. Did she ever play it?

Hi, Dan!  How are you feeling?

The heat got to me today. My volunteer driver wanted to take me shopping before he left for his trip with his grandchildren up to his wife's family in Calgary. So, we went shopping and I guess the heat from sitting in the front seat of the car and just walking around made me feel flushed and overheated. When I came home, I had to rest and cool off. Then I felt better.

And when the night is new. I'll be looking at the moon. But Abyssinia you.

When I was a kid, we had next door neighbors who were of the WWII generation. She was a former girlfriend of Joe Bananas and used to ride the diving horse off the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. Her second husband was a See Bee in Saipan and Panama. He knew Jungle Jim and had photos of the crematorium/gas chambers that the Japanese had on Saipan, just like the Nazis had in Europe.

Anyway, I bring him up because even when I knew him, when he was in his late 60s/70s, he still had what he called pilot's vision, I think it was 20/15. It was amazing to me that this man had jungle rot in his ears and was pretty close to legally deaf, but he still kept that eyesight, despite all the years drinking alcohol, Vitalis and sterno.

Many of us are really bothered by perfumes. A woman used to go to my acupuncturist wearing lots of scents. Even after she left I couldn't be treated in that room--she left, but the scents stayed. She probably wasn't happy when I asked her to refrain.

Actually to me, if a person wears a fragrance very lightly, it leaves a better impression, is not offensive, and will usually lead to questions such as, what was that perfume?

And now, I'm off to my parents' for dinner.  I forget what my mom said that she was making...tacos, maybe...we'll see.

Be back later.

Yup...tacos it was.  And they was delish!

Today, Mike, my volunteer driver for cancer patients, took me out shopping. One of the stops was at a thrift store, and there I found a CD that I hope is good. It looks brand new. It's a 2 CD set of "Sunday in the Park with George" the 2006 London cast recording. As I may have mentioned before, I would like to become more familiarized with B'way musicals as I had paid more attention to dramas.

It can't beat the original, but I do like that recording. :)

Great! and, George, the other good part of this is that at this particular thrift store, for the Humane Society, they charge $1 per CD. So this was $2 and it goes to help dogs and cats.

Nice!

That's awful when people don't realize how they go overboard with fragrance. Having been in and among cancer wards, I've learned to go without cologne, which was difficult at first as that was part of the routine. But now, I forget that I can wear it elsewhere. When I do, I am very lightly spritzed.

Many of us are really bothered by perfumes. A woman used to go to my acupuncturist wearing lots of scents. Even after she left I couldn't be treated in that room--she left, but the scents stayed. She probably wasn't happy when I asked her to refrain.

The library system where I work has an official no-scent policy.  Our newly hired (just last year) HR assistant practically reeked of perfume when she started working here.  Several co-workers (including one of my staff) are scent-sensitive and can have allergic reactions to strong perfumes.  My staff member (politely) explained to her the situation and she said that she would stop, but she didn't.  My staff member told the HR manager and HE told the HR assistant (three times!!) to tone it down...and still she didn't!  Finally, after that HR manager was fired, I happened to be chatting with our library director and I mentioned this to her and SHE talked with the HR assistant.  FINALLY, she stopped wearing the strong perfume.  But really, if your supervisor tells you that it's library policy to not wear strong scents, why in the world would you still do it??

Aside from the perfume issue, the HR assistant has shown herself to be a very efficient and knowledgeable HR assistant.  And in the few times that I've interacted with her, she seems like a really nice person...so now, it's all good. :)
