Yesterday our new adjustable mattress was delivered. They could only put 3/4 of the bed together as the warehouse sent the wrong size for the last section.
If they don't deliver it today we have a big problem since we expect company to use the guest bed on the 4th.
Good morning, all.
On the Friday that feels like a Saturday.
For everyone in the U.S. of A. except vixmom.
I don't know if I'll have the time to watch it this weekend. I also found In Which We Serve and Mamma Mia for $1.99 each, so I have those, too.
Am listening now to Bryn Terfel's Alan Jay Lerner album. He's really good on the Kurt Weill and Charles Strouse songs, more of a mixed bag on the Loewe. But his version of "I Call the Wind Maria" really makes me want to hear the new "Paint Your Wagon." Any release date that you know of, Elmore?
... the last Appendix number in JUBILEE, a dreadful ditty called "Sing Jubilee," which may be the worst song Cole Porter ever wrote.
I don't want to take any chances.

Yikes!! You shouldn't, and glad that you are not.

Autumn. I don't even know if they've recorded Keith Carradine yet; he was the one cast member who couldn't make the sessions.

Thanks, DR Singdaw. It's probably nothing, but I have a bag packed - just in case. You know, the necessities like phone and iPad charging cords, knitting, reading glasses, and an extra book.
I happen to love I Happen to Like New York. Those chords striking that hymn-like tone.
IMO, Porter's worst is I Sing of Love from Kiss Me, Kate.
Thanks, DR George, for noticing and commemorating my modest millstone. I hadn't even noticed! :-*
Stage Manager could not find the plastic funnel I bought him to pour the colored water into the liquor bottles....no where to be found..... I asked him where he left it...he said beside the sink....which of course LINDA says is HER sink, not the dishwashing sink....
So during the cast meeting before the show, since she was there to take production photos, I asked everyone if they had seen the funnel....that it was missing, and I hated to have to buy another one.
Linda spoke up and said, "I hid it, it was left on the counter where it shouldn't have been."
And I said: "Well maybe we put it there as a gift for you."
She didn't say anything....but NOW everyone knows.....

Thanks for the vibes, DRs ChasSmith and Jane. NP Leah sent me right to the hospital for an ultrasound and it was determined that I do not have a blood clot - whew!
I recommend the neck, DRs Elmore and Jrand64.

There is a board for the Playhouse, DR JRand64? Can't they slap her down or remind her of her position in the scheme of things?

Chacun a son gout! I'm quite fond of "We Sing of Love," which the last revisal of Kiss Me, Kate proved that no one knew what to do with it. It's especially wonderful in the Tarantella dance arrangement, and I love "I Happen To Like New York." There are a lot of numbers between "Dubarry Was A Lady" and "Kiss me, Kate" that could compete for the worst Cole Porter song.
Maybe we should list the worst songs by major theatre composers: Sondheim, Irving Berlin, Rodgers, Kern, etc. they all have them. When we did the Victor Herbert Collected songs, I cut one titled something like "Indian Lullaby" because it was such a poor attempt to write something Native American. It was a complete embarrassment.

DR Ginny, just have them carry you in a litter through the supermarket. Everything gets done, everybody's happy.
I am glad some people enjoy that particular Cole Porter ditty......my only exposure to it was on an old Judy Garland "Live" album....and maybe her version didn't do it justice.....DR BEN don't click on the link.

She has been on the board many years....she is tolerated....but I can hold out longer than she can....I'm five years younger.

This is a panel of mystery authors. The second from the left is Marcia Clark. Yes, THAT Marcia Clark. She said she likes writing mystery novels because she can control the outcome in ways she could not in the courtroom.

I plan to work around the apartment and laze about a lot.

I can honestly say that I have never had the "pleasure" to have worked with someone who's as much of a pill as this Linda. :-\
I've heard stories from friends, but never from first-hand experience.

Maybe she's the one who reached for the gun!
At the ALA conference, a company with which DR Jane is very familiar provided shuttle buses for us as they have for 50 years now:

I have ridden them for 42 of those years. Thank you, Keith!

Vixmom, I seriously worry about your health. It is insane that you have to work these hours all of the time.
GOOD HOLIDAY WEEKEND VIBES to all!
... the last Appendix number in JUBILEE, a dreadful ditty called "Sing Jubilee," which may be the worst song Cole Porter ever wrote.
I've never heard Sing Jubilee but I think Mack the Black from The Pirate and I Happen to Like New York also rank as some of the worst stuff Porter ever wrote. And I like Porter. I just happen to LOATHE The Pirate (an unwatchable mess with a score to match IMHO) although I know it has many vocal defenders and I hate that New York song.

This old bitch needs to be taken down, DR JRand64! Can't someone arrange for her to break a leg literally or a neck?
Vixmom, do you have plans for the holiday?
It probably isn't your husband's favorite holiday.
Vixmom, do you have plans for the holiday?
not this year, in years past we have had a small barbeque but there was no time this year to plan such an advent
I want a Magnum Ice Cream Bar!
It probably isn't your husband's favorite holiday.
He calls it "That Day in Infamy When An Ungrateful Rebellious Rabble Rejected Benevolent British Rule"
I want a Magnum Ice Cream Bar!
I have never had one - I am too cheap to buy them; but they look very good

I am sure a quiet day will be fine with you.
well I have been up for 20 hours so I think I will go to bed now
goodnight
I hope DR JANE gets the rest of her bed.

And good night, 1 Guest!
