Sorry that the antenna didn't work, George.
George, was the pepperoni pizza vegan?

Fortunately, no. Since it was just for me, she got one with real meat pepperoni. :)
Today's keynote speaker is a former CEO (I think) of Disney (this is correct). HOWEVER, this one man has been scheduled to speak for, get this...TWO-AND-A-HALF HOURS! :o What could one person talk about to a captive audience for two-and-a-half hours??
He'd better be good.
I can see about Sami and I signing - if anyone is interested just send me a private message. We'd have to open the packaging to do it, but if you're okay with that I think we can make it happen. Oh, and I'd say this is kind of a rave review:

I would have no problem with that.
It was a fraught night of bizarre dreams: A ITTLE NIGHT MUSIC rehearsals, Steve Sondheim, a fight with the father of my goddaughter, Goodspeed, and more I have now forgotten.
It never stops, does it?
I am still recovering from my ankle surgery, and we got word from the doctor yesterday that my wife, Sandy, will be having another neck/back surgery (her 5th) next month.
They are going to remove/replace 4 discs in her spine.
She will be in the hospital for 4-5 days, then wearing a neck brace for 2 months after that.

Or a series of audio books, perfect for long car trips.

Off to the 4th performance of The Game's Afoot.....
What a goddam frustrating morning! I got to Staples to make my copies only to be told the photocopiers were down. I wasted that time getting to Fed ex to use their. The 104 bus was late, and the No. 5 bus was not only running late but it was packed because of that. That meant a long really lousy ride to St Patrick's and Rockefeller Center. I saw my barber and then waited 20 minutes for a crosstown bus that was due at 9:33. I got to the music director's late and dropped off the music with his doorman, then went out to the bus stop and waited for an uptown 104 bus, but because of construction, the buses are not stopping there. I So, I had to find where the MTA asses had moved the stop; they never give any information.
I am very glad to be home.
In about an hour I shall be on my way to the recording studio for session two. Praying for traffic to be as light as yesterday at that time.
DR Ginny, I found a Middletown city directory on eBay. Your sister-in-law sold it to me.
A city directory! What year?

I agreed to be a docent for a neighborhood house tour tomorrow night. There will be 10 houses on the tour altogether; the house where I'll be volunteering is a lovely old Victorian - 6,000+ square feet, built in 1907.
I received a nice Kritzerland box with my HANGOVER SQUARE cd, a nice mug, and a t-shirt today.

I wonder if it's Ed Catmull, whose book on creativity and running Pixar and Disney animation was wonderful
This morning I had a friend request on Facebook. To preface: Those who've read Kritzerland, the middle book in the trilogy, may recall a character in the last twenty pages called Betty Bremers, someone Benjamin becomes friends with in junior high school, and hangs out with after his only "friend" shines him on. In fact, he shares his first real kiss with Betty in the back row of the Four Star Theater seeing Where the Boys Are. I have, over the years, searched for the real Betty but no luck - and yes, I used her real name for the book.
Well, this morning's friend request was from Betty Breemer - no wonder I've never been able to find her - I'd lost an "e" and added an "s" - the latter probably because of the singer Beverly Bremers. And yes, it was THE Betty. I accepted her friend request, then went to PM her and she'd sent ME a message that had gone to my "other" folder on Facebook - I do not understand the purpose of the "other" folder and find it extremely irritating. She remembered me well and spoke of a date we had seeing West Side Story. I of course remember that, but also reminded her about seeing Where the Boys Are in the back row of the Four Star, leaving out the part regarding the kiss. She wrote back immediately and said she remembered Where the Boys Are, adding "My first kiss." Isn't that funny? We're talking something that happened fifty-five YEARS ago. I told her about the Kritzer books and will be sending her a set.

There's a storm rolling in - just saw lightning and heard thunder.

I don't drink, so that doesn't appeal to me. Hope you enjoy it.
Is everyone watching the debate?

The debate certainly could not be called America's Got Talent.

Nope. I was wrong about the CEO part, but he was very good and I was surprised that I was engaged the entire time.
Good evening.

Thank you. Since I'm from Kentucky, bourbon is like mother's milk.

Sadly, he mentioned his wife a couple of times, so things got real awkward real quickly.
Interesting...the just announced that Howard Stern is leaving the show and won't be coming back next year.
