Thinking especially of DR Dan M today!
I was hoping it might be Wednesday by now.
Surgery vibes for DR DAN M.
And the word of the day is: REFRACTORY!
A great website resource for crossword cheaters!

Without going into detail. Equity's "step" was the worst possible step there could have been and will result in far less work for actors. They could have listened to their members and come up with something that would have worked - most people would like some adjustments, but the actors WERE getting paid, not a lot, but no one ever worked for free. And most producers ended up paying well above the mandated stipend, and that includes our Inside Out actors - in fact, they got more than they would have under the new plan. Where the new plan will kill intimate theater in LA is paying minimum wage for the rehearsal period. It's just not possible on most theater's budgets - we could never have done What If under the plan, or Deceit, or Inside Out. What reasonable people were suggesting was a tiered system based on the budget of a show. Reasonable and doable. When asked who these actors were that the big, bad producers were taking advantage of, not one could be found. On the referendum vote, two-thirds of the people voting voted it down and Equity pushed it through anyway - good job ignoring the wishes of the members. In the end they will lose this just as they lost it thirty years ago and life will go on. The plan will have some changes and that will be good, too. This was shoved through by a handful of actors who happen to get the handful of paltry and paltry-paying contract jobs in LA.
John Williams used to be my publicity client.
I handled his Oscar campaigns for both THE RIEVERS and FIDDLER ON A ROOF.

Thank you, DR Singdaw! I'm flying alone to San Diego for the long weekend, while Richard attends to church business in NW Indiana and NW Ohio. We'll meet Monday at SFO, pick up our rental car, and drive to Monterey for some vacation. Then, back to San Francisco for the American Library Association annual conference June 26-July 1.
My boarding passes are printed and I'm as packed as I can be the night before a trip.
I haven't seen AI, either.
The theater is officially booked for the Sami show and we'll open on September 12th, a Saturday night, with previews on the 10th and 11th. We'll run for three weeks, unless we're really a hit, in which case we have the right to add a fourth week.
And I forgot to mention it, but so glad that your new temporary accommodations are more to your liking, DR Jane.
I never saw A.I.
I am one of the great unwashed.
So I went hiking in the desert this morning. I didn't last too long -- only about four miles.
DR cillaliz, that is good insurance news! I hope you and the cats are all healthy and hearty now!
Dr Ginny, wave when you fly over Arizona!
