Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not PC and were completely retarded, sexist, misogynistic, racist, and moronic, and now it is time for you to post until the PC cows come home home.

And the word of the day is: ANASTROPHE!

Morning all.
That is all.

Our phone service is back. I assume that means our internet service is back as well, but since I'm at the office and Anthony is still asleep I won't know until Anthony turns on the computer and modem/router at home to find out.
A technician from Verizon came yesterday at around 6pm. I was at the Theatre so Anthony was there to handle it. They got caught in the torrential downpour but they did get into the back yard. The technician confirmed that there was nothing wrong on our end. It was in some deep dark area of Verizon's inner-workings. He said he would put in a work order. I got home at 9:15 and the phone was still not working. I went to bed at 10:15 (no phone) but I got up at 5:45 this morning and lo and behold, the phone worked. I called my office number and a couple of other numbers (no one was awoken during this test) to ensure it wasn't a fluke. My cell phone is now officially turned off until I need it again.
As I said earlier in the week, there is much to do at the office so I will leave now, happy that we are back in the land of communications.

Good morning, all! I have another day at the Columbia library. I had a great time there yesterday looking over press clippings, a City Opera program, set designs, reviews, several drafts of the libretto, and letters between Jerome Moross and Edward Eager.
Gentlemen, Be Seated! was begun in 1955 for producer Roger Stevens and the Playwrights Company following The Golden Apple. The 1955 press releases say they were looking at Gene Kelly or someone like him to play Mr. Interlocutor. Stevens couldn't get the backing, and the 1963 City Opera production was the result of a grant from the Ford Foundation
In the earlier drafts, the framework seems a bit more realistic; one number, "What Has Become of Beauty?" was about the battle at Gettysburg, but in the final draft, it's the penultimate number, so I suppose in an abstract way it's more a comment on Lincoln's assassination and the Restoration. I got the impression that several critics felt that the City Opera production was too often not realistic enough.
-
DR Jeanne, I'm wondering who was the singer on MAJOR CRIMES. Kearrann Giovanni, who plays Set. Sykes, was in the 2009 revival of Finian's Rainbow.

DR Ben, good news on the internet and phone.

~ ~ ~ CONTINUING RECOVERY VIBES ~ ~ ~ for DR Dan M!!!!!!
Here is his full update from Facebook:
It was supposed to be a moderately long surgery, but turned out differently. I was only supposed to have been in hospital overnight. My surgery had to be finished using the tried and true "by hand" methods and not robotic. Surgery was 7 hours.
My overnight stay became 6 days. I will update more later as I am home trying to handle my pain and readjusting to non-hospital life. Please continue sending whatever you can. The hospital bills are worse than what I was expecting. I hope that in few months I can look back on the whole thing with a laugh. I'm on too many painkillers to write a decent post, so I will hope to see you here tomorrow or as soon as I can.
-
When I'm home from Columbia, I must begin some apartment work to accommodate the arrival of a new filing cabinet. Thank God the AC is running well.
-
Glad to hear that your service is finally back, DR Ben!

Office Depot customer service never responded to my complaint email about this seriously damaged folding table yesterday, and last night I got on their Chat line and resolved the problem. It will be picked up next Monday and returned for credit. When I tried to set it up to use my binder last night, I discovered that one entire 4-ft length of support was not even bolted to the table top.
That was the clincher to return it.
-
Enjoyed Kimberly's rendition in the notes today.
-
Sorry about that, DR elmore3003, but at least the situation will be resolved. What a pain, though, all the way around.
-
DR Cillaliz - no, I didn't see the Northern Lights! I saw your post too late. I hadn't heard about it otherwise, darn it!
-
Does anyone know who wrote the song "After the Show" from the Karen Akers CD Presenting Karen Akers. The booklet doesn't list anything resembling production credits and all Internet searches are for naught. I can find many references to the CD (we have it) and track lists but no credits for anything other than Akers and a history of the CD/production (for European television as I recall).

It's Wednesday. Feels like it, too.

good morning to all

I can relate to that! Continued fast recovery without the pain,

DRs, my college friend Craig could use some vibes. His son has been missing since June 17, and I know the family is going mad with worry. Supposedly, he went missing after leaving to someone he had met on a dating site.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Thanks for the update on Dan M, Singdaw.
-
Glad you are back in communication mode, Ben.
-
BK,
I totally agree with you on "politically correct".
"Politically correct" kills people.
Had the Army not been "politically correct," the Fort Hood massacre would not have happened.

More vibes to Dan M

There was a song written by Sammy Fain & Ralph Freed that used this title. It was used in the film Two Sisters From Boston 1946
Here is the song from the movie. So you can see if it is the same song.

Lots of vibes to send out this morning, to DR Dan M, to DR Elmore's friend Craig, and to all others who need them.

Thank you for Glitter and Be Gay, BK!

Vibes for the friends of DR ELMORE....what a terrible thing!
Continued healing vibes for DR MICHAEL and for DR DAN M.
Congrats to DR JEANNE on her millstone.
-
All of the dresses fit very well.....they do need to be hemmed, but that is a simple fix for our trusty seamstress.
DR RLP - I couldn't fit ONE half of me into the Laura Ashley...it is a size 10. I will not charge the theater for it though, and bring it home to my sister.
-
I do not like the PC police either. I am also tired of "trigger" words and warnings. It's annoying.
You cannot turn the entire world into a college campus where you are protected from things that hurt your sensibilities - the rest of us don't care. We have to get on with our lives and EXIST with everyone else in the world....and guess what?
SO DO YOU!
-
Vibes for your friend and his whole family, Elmore.
-
Good morning.
BK, you didn't even touch on what's going on in the schools these days. Ridiculous.
-
Vibes for Craig's son. How frightening.
-
Vibes for DanM and Michael for continued healing.
-
I wonder if they are going to have to rewrite history again to leave out any mention of guns and fighting. Maybe Laura Ingalls books will be banned because Pa has a gun.
-
And, of course, every high school will put on a production of "Annie Point Your Finger."
Maybe not. Kids have gotten in trouble for that, too.

My question for ASK BK DAY.....has anyone ever proposed marriage to you?
-
I love proposal stories.....I don't have one, but I love to read about experiences from others.
-
Thanks for the vibes for Craig and his family. I can only imagine the horror and anxiety he and his family are suffering.
I am home from Columbia. I got through two orchestra scores, and Moross' scores are quite beautiful to see, On Friday, I'll begin No. 3, the Harriet Tubman number.

Vibes to friend Craig.

Back from the Costco run.

I have now gotten two very wacko e-mails from some guy who purports to know my brother and me, and is asking why I allowed a breach and that we need to heal it because death is near. I mean, random, right? So, I e-mailed him back after forwarding his missive to my brother and to my cousin Dee Dee, who was really freaked out by it. I asked him to explain his e-mail. Meanwhile, I looked up his e-mail address on Google and it led me right to his information. He is a homeopathic "doctor" or whatever they call homeopathic people, in Escondido.
He wrote back saying more of the same, reiterating that death is near (not being specific but implying for both of us) and we need to heal and that he's known both of us for years, but only from the background and shadows. I wrote him back a much stronger e-mail, telling him he really needed to explain himself clearly, and that I had his information and that I've forwarded his e-mails. His stuff is showing up at the address we use when you write me from this here site, so that's obviously how he found me. I did explain to him that while my brother and I had a contentious time growing up, that our relationship, while not close, has been completely fine since reaching adulthood. I see him when he's in town (if I can) and we get along just fine. This guy's next response will be key - if I don't like it or it creeps me out, I'll just pick up the phone and call him - and if I don't like the conversation, I'll pay him a little visit with some friends in tow.
-
My question for ASK BK DAY.....has anyone ever proposed marriage to you?
I can't say that anyone has proposed to me.
-
Moross' scores are quite beautiful to see
Re-reading Suskin's book on Broadway orchestrators makes me long to see examples of their work first-hand.

Sounds like that answer may change by the end of the day. :P

Let's turn the page on this sordid affair.

Perhaps the question could be modified to...has anyone ever propositioned you? Do you love a good proposition story? :D

OK. Here's my F. Scott Fitzgerald joke.
Two old guys are sitting on a park bench.
Guy #1: Who wrote "The Great Gatsby," anyway?

Guy #2: F. Scott Fitzgerald!

It would have been better if he weren't so musically uninformed. Since he dislikes operetta and early musicals, and seems proud of both his ignorance and arrogance, he misses some great orchestrators.

SO DO YOU!
The board of Theater Artists Olympia just had a BIG discussion (which will be continued) about warnings on our advertising that shows might include trigger words or other "adult" issues. For the last show we did, "In a Dark, Dark House" by Neil LaBute, the director decided to put a warning on the poster. Some people (especially the one who brought up the issue to begin with) thought it was very necessary, and others (myself included) thought it was a little too much. People come to TAO shows to be challenged. I don't think that we need to tell them that they need to be prepared to feel something whether it's good, bad, or indifferent.
Just my 2¢.

Hello, everyone.

Yes, except for all the fuzzy cottonwood sticking to the chair. The chair a neighbor drpped off for us to keep is comfy. Too bad she only had one.

I saw the chiropractor today. He said I strained five tendons in my wrist. "One or two is common, but not five." Well, I'm thorough! He treated me and reiterated what I've been thinking about a proactive approach. I'm now shopping for a different sort of brace.

Can't you just sit on Keith's lap? Wouldn't that be comfy, too??

DR Jeanne, I'm wondering who was the singer on MAJOR CRIMES. Kearrann Giovanni, who plays Set. Sykes, was in the 2009 revival of Finian's Rainbow.
I didn't know that. But no, not her. There's a woman, a very attractive brunette, who plays an inexperienced prosecutor, who I was mixing up with the singer who was so arrogant and flubbed her lyrics in one of the Kritzerland shows. My memory's not what it used to be.
-

VIBES THAT HE IS FOUND SAFE AND SOON.
-
BK, everyone's going to have a different feeling on how to handle something like this. In that spirit, here's mine...
The gist of those first two emails says "police matter" to me. I know a gal (un-PC term, in keeping with today's theme) who was being stalked and threatened by an out-of-state jerk she'd broken off a relationship with. Her local PD was very helpful in taking the info and coordinating with his local PD who -- guess what? -- already had a file open on the guy. And if they hadn't, they would have been happy to open one. Problem went away.

Wednesday evening greetings! We had a slow morning and left about 11 to enjoy the Pacific Coast. Drove out to Point Pinos at the tip of the Monterey Peninsula and down to the Pacific Grove entrance to the 17 Mile Drive. Took that to Carmel, making several stops along the way. We got lost in a couple of Carmel neighborhoods, but eventually found the Mission and spent an hour or so doing the self-guided tour. Had a late lunch at a Swiss restaurant and made our way back to Cannery Row. We may go out for ice cream later - or not.

I remember Romper Room, but I never watched it. I was a little too old for it by the time I heard about it. We used to live in Germany when my dad was in the army, so those were probably the years that the show would've been appropriate for me, but I don't think it was on in Germany at that time.

Oh, yes, the Romper Room "teacher" in Detroit was named Ardis Kenealy, but we kids called her Miss Ardis.

Vibes for DR Elmore's friend Craig and his family...
-
And, of course, every high school will put on a production of "Annie Point Your Finger."
Maybe not. Kids have gotten in trouble for that, too.
So it would be "You Can't Get a Man With a Finger? :)

Watch me stand so straight and tall I won't let my basket fall eyes ahead don't look down, keep your basket off the ground

Thank you all for your vibes and xylos for continued healing. I can only be at the computer for short times. I find myself wanting to do more, but I have to get rest. My surgeon Dr. Galvani who is Argentinian sounds like Lalo Shifrin and looks like an even more compact Jason Statham. Like the Pope, he is partly Italian and partly Argentinian. I was very surprised that the surgery went so long and I was in hospital for nearly a week. I had been lucid only a few times during the hopsital stay and really didn't want to see the surgical area, but Dr. Galvani seemed to me to be a bit insulted that I did not look to see that his audible call to switch from robotic to hand surgery resulted in what will likely be a better scar, and no left-over skin just there waiting for a plastic surgeon's repair. His reaction made me think of Shifrin, that he has put a lot of feeling (no pun) into the work he did on me, like a musician interprets a piece not just with black dots but with feeling.
I have lots more to say, but my hand-eye coordination on the computer is not that good and I can concentrate for short times. So far, the healing seems to be moving along. Since my surgery began as robotic, I have two drains/drain bags that I have to keep watch over. I am in an abdominal binder too, so these limit me a great deal. Probably the painkillers too.
I haven't been able to keep current so I will drop in as I did not have a computer at the hospital. The main nurse who was handling my case said I was a lot of fun as a patient even though I had such a long arduous surgery that was unexpected. I remember that I was in the post-op room and heard loud music and thought we need our rest. Then, who knows how much later, the nurse checked in with me, and I said we need quiet since I could still hear the music and the singing. She took my free hand and placed it alongside my mouth very gently and showed me that I was the one who was singing and that it was to some orchestra performing in my mind's concert hall. As groggy as I was, I had a very good laugh, but not too much because the bandages, the mesh and the binder (and the pain) and reined in my "gut" reaction.
Maybe I will come back later and talk more. I miss everyone. Thank you!

I know I was a Romper Room kid, even if I don't remember a damned thing about the show now.
-
Speaking of creeps, I saw this on the CBS news this morning:

There's a Lifetime movie in this
LOL, I thought you were quoting about the colonoscopy guy

~~~Continued Recovery Vibes!!~~~
-
We had Romper Room in Los Angeles.
-
I cannot remember the names of the people who live in my house but these songs from pm when I was five and younger? Every word locked tight in my head
-
And speaking of television -
ABC is apparently going to revive To Tell the Truth.
-
I rejected the heartfelt ( or so it seemed) proposal when the young man ended with I can't imagine my life without you. I love you , Jane
-
Continued healing vibes to DanM........glad to have an update
-
Maybe I am fussy but I kinda think the proposer should get the name of the proposee correct during the actual proposal
-
Welcome home/back, DR Dan M! We have missed you. It is good to know that you are on the recovery road.
~ ~ ~ SUPER-STRENGTH HEALING VIBES!!!!! ~ ~ ~
-
And, of course, every high school will put on a production of "Annie Point Your Finger."
Maybe not. Kids have gotten in trouble for that, too.
So it would be "You Can't Get a Man With a Finger? :)
Depends on the man....
-
That reminds of that great old country/western song:
She Got the Ring, and I Got the Finger
-
;D
-
Yes, except for all the fuzzy cottonwood sticking to the chair. The chair a neighbor drpped off for us to keep is comfy. Too bad she only had one.
Can't you just sit on Keith's lap? Wouldn't that be comfy, too??
;)
;D
For me but not so much Keith. I'm sure I weigh a lot more than I did at the beginning of the move.
-
BTW, I haven't done an update on the bad arm and shoulder problems I was having, that wouldn't quit. Well, time, I suppose, eventually heals, because it's all fine now.
Faster than I expected. My damaged toe is almost recovered.
-
DR Dan it is good to see you here. Your singing story made me smile.
NO PAIN VIBES!
-
Hand vibes for Jeanne.

Comfort Inn decided to change the wifi sever along with the password. It would have been nice if they told us. After 2 hours of attempting to get on the internet while coming and going from the room I finally went downstairs to ask if the wifi was down. I needed a second trip down because the new link wasn't coming up. On the way back to the room I saw the hotel manage and said it would have been nice if we had been informed. He asked why I didn't just go down and ask. I wasn't the only one there asking. I told him I had places to be but would have called had I a working phone in the room
-
There is a rubber mat in the tub that I like to use, however, when I use it and they clean the tub they take it away ::)
-
At least the bed is comfortable.
-
My sister was on Romper Room. Her teacher was the one who was fired for having an abortion after taking thalidomide.
-
Oh goodness
-
I desperately wanted to be on romper room. Or happy birthday house
-

That's terrible.
-
Well, I must now leave work, go to Costco, then home.
-
Just had to share. :)
-
Be back later.
-
It is nice that this hoel has real glass instead of plastic, however, I would appreciate if they were replaced when the dirty ones are removed. I had to make another trip to the desk. I am sure I am getting a bad reputation.
-
Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening.
-
Here's the clafouti. It's rather dark.

Yikes.

MEGA RECOVERY VIBES TO DAN M!
$$$ vibes, too.
That's the best way of putting it. More doses.
-
I hadn't heard of that case, but I agree. And concur. But I've got to wonder ... who in the HELL was making a tape?
The patient turned on his tape recorder so he would be able to have a recording of his doctor's instructions when he came to and was too drugged up to remember what he was supposed to do. What he got was a lot more than he anticipated, including a case of hemorrhoids, which they decided to add to his chart, as a joke.

Making cherry clafouti.
Is that anything like floop?
Here's the recipe, sir:

I desperately wanted to be on romper room. Or happy birthday house
I wanted to be on Romper Room or Betty Lou and the Magic Window or Captain Kid's Corner. But I lived in a little town where we could only see them on TV

At least you're getting your exercise :)
-
Lol
-
Glad Dan is back.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Tomorrow is my last rabies shot, I am very happy about that.
-
Finished From Here to Eternity. Some sloppy storytelling. There were far too many characters to keep track of. It didn't help any that the actors who played the characters originally played by Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra looked far too much alike.
-
And with that, I'm off to bed.
Good night, all.
-
Tomorrow is my last rabies shot, I am very happy about that.
Congratulations.
-
Need to have another productive day tomorrow. Today was pretty good, got several things done I've been putting off. My list is getting shorter, which is a good thing. It was way too long
-
Thanks John G
-
There's a baseball game tomorrow night, I'm really hoping I feel like going, I didn't after the last shot
-
Think I'll go to bed. I was hoping to go out and look for the northern lights, but I'm reading that we can't see them this far south tonight. It's cloudy anyway.
-
I spy Dan M....Hi!

Tomorrow is my last rabies shot, I am very happy about that.

My brother finally contacted me about the weird e-mails. He knows the guy but hasn't seen him for over a decade. He wrote to him and the response he got is kind of perfect. Apparently a few days ago, this guy took a psychedelic substance called DMT - at the peak of it, he received a vision to contact me. I had to remember that it's 2015, not 1967. Oracle indeed. He won't be e-mailing again.
