I ended yp having the scallops last night. The dinner was quite deelish, and everyone else's dinner choice looked wonderful: Joshie and Jeremy had the short ribs, and John Bell had pork chop. I couldn't see what the folk down at the other end of the table had.  There ended up being around 11 of us to wish Joshie a happy day.  I wish there had been a camera to catch his surprise.

Back from a really good meeting with the set designer - he came up with something I really like - I made a few requests and a couple of suggestions, and now he'll do two versions via model - I'll be able to tell from those which will work best for me in terms of staging.  One involves most of the stage floor being one level, while the other involves a square level (on an angle) in the front middle - I like that for certain reasons but have to make sure I'm okay staging around it.  Either way will be fine.  I've asked instead of using the actual theater floor that they build a stage, six inches off the ground, so if they do that then this other unit would be six inches on top of that - I just have to actually see it - very hard for me to tell on the computer.  But it's designed for a lot of projections and seating, rather than one way, will be an "L" which I also like (we did Stages that way) and they haven't done an "L" in there in decades - it also allows for a few more seats.

Traffic was horrendous coming home until I was past Hollywood, then it was fine.  Got the softcover of the book and immediately called - I feel the actual printing is a tiny bit too light and not reflective the the galley I approved.  So, I sent that message and as soon as they assure me the print place is aware, then I'll place my order, probably on Monday.

It is a different dirt of supermarket. Really wide aisles and if is like an IKEA inasmuch that the design leads you in one direction in a snaking pattern rather than the traditional parallel aisles.   

That does sound different! I'm assuming that "dirt" means "sort."

That one took me a minute, too. Then I consulted Vixtyping for Dummies, Vol. 3, and found the answer. :)

So, we ended up at an unknown Italian place and had good, solid food. The pizza was New York style, simple and honest and really good.

Glad you finally got a good meal.

When I was working in Coco Beach, FL, my co-worker and I happened upon a similar Italian restaurant--simple, but very good. We returned several times, despite many other options.

Went to Gelson's and got some salad with veggies and drowned it in red wine vinegar, so no calories at all.  I'd netted out at 600 today after the jog, so got some shrimp cocktail shrimp and this humungous bunch of lettuce and stuff.

Actually, the best part might have been that you can't bowl with out some liquid help, so that was deemed OK for this outing, as long as you worked from home the rest of the day.

I didn't actually have anything, but a co-worker had a mai-tai. It looked terrible. Beer is probably the best bet at a bowling alley.

Pat Conroy has died.

I really enjoyed his books. But I hadn't read a word of his when I met him. I had only seen the movies, Prince of Tides and Great Santini. He was coming to Sarasota for a books and author conference, and his one stipulation was that his interviewer had to have read something of his. I guess he was tired of the "Where do you get your ideas from?" and "Is your work autobiographical?" and "What do you think of Barbra Streisand?" I mean, the interviewer didn't even have to have liked Conroy's books; he just had to have read something by the man.

So, someone else interviewed him, and Conroy came to the office that day for a sit-down talk. He went around and spoke with everyone for a minute or two and was as nice as could be. That, probably more than anything, was what got me started reading him. And now I've read all of his books, even his cookbook.

I wonder if we'll ever get to read his sequel to Gone With the Wind, which Margaret Mitchell's family nixed because Conroy saw one of the characters, Scarlett's brother, I think, as being gay. Apparently, there are no gay Southerners.

Be back later!

The readings of Grimms' stories was really good.  I had never heard of probably a quarter of them.  It was all really well done. :)
