Well, the movie (http://olympiafilmsociety.org/hello-my-name-is-doris/) last night was really good...quirky and funny and touching.  Afterward, my friend David and I went to Appebee's for a bite...well, I had a bite and he had a drink.  And now I'm home and in bed.

Good night and have a good day, all.

TOD

Three ways:

With cream cheese -- not whipped, I like the regular -- and preferably toasted.

Toasted with butter.

With cream cheese, lox, tomato, onion, capers.  Gimme the whole pile.

Well, it depends on if I'm eating a sweet bagel, like cinnamon-raisin or a plain bagel, like poppy seed. Obviously, I wouldn't put lox on a cinnamon bagel. But if it is plain, I do like lox, tomato and cream cheese (hold the onion). If it's a sweet bagel, I just like plain cream cheese on it. I really don't like all the different flavors of schmears (like almond/honey) that are so popular now.

Well last night's rehearsal went very well.  I had worked with two of the five people before - but the other three went right along with the program.

First I did some fixing to a couple of numbers - just making them work better and putting a button on one of them....

There's not a lot of dancing in the show, and probably shouldn't be anyway - so the one number that we did last night is a bit of an anomaly....but it worked very well, and we finished the whole thing.

Just spent some time on the phone with 2 nice young ladies at the University of Michigan Alumni Association.  For a while now mail from there has come addressed to Richard.  Now, as the holder of the only 2 Michigan degrees in our household and the person who pays her own alumni association dues with a credit card in her own name, I do not appreciate that.  So I let my inner Gloria Steinem out and notified them accordingly.

Your TMJ must be horrible.  Can you not even eat them sliced thin and toasted?

Post by: Jane on May 12, 2016, 10:37:20 AM
I like an egg bagel toasted, either just with butter or as a lox & cream cheese sandwich.

In Michigan I found delicious egg everything bagels.  When I sliced and toasted them I really had half and egg bagel (bottom half) and the top half was the everything egg.  I normally don't like everything bagels but these were delicious.

We have a good bagel store here, however, they don't make egg bagels.  There cheddar or Asiago bagels are very good.  My favorite are the raisin cinnamon which so far are the best I've ever had.

While I was at City Center, Joshie asked me if i wanted to join him and his brother Jeremy at an afternoon recital by their violin teacher Suzy Perlman. I said yes, since I like her very much.  She and pianist David Robison were quite a team and the music was wonderful.  the only drawback was that the horrid Norma, the nasty old woman every clerk hates at Barnes & Noble, is in charge of the events at the Jewish Center. She suffers from the arrogance and rudeness from knowing that when she dies the word "c**t" will be removed from the language.

God, i detest her.  Whenever i see her hobbling on the street it's a struggle not to throw her under a bus.

I haven't worked at Barnes and Noble in 11 years and she still makes my blood boil.  Her modus operandi was to come in and belittle the clerks, I think to build her self-image. The manager detested her.  The clerks ran whenever she hobbled in. A nasty piece of work.

The recital was wonderful!

My late friend Jan Ford, whose father built bridges and buildings for a living, went to college to get her engineering degree in the 1950's.  I forget which college she attended. 

The first day she was there, she asked where the engineering building was.....everyone she asked told her she must be mistaken, and they gave her directions to home economics building.....finally in frustration, she told them she needed to find the building because she had a message for her brother who was studying there.

She did get her degree and had a fine career....at the time of her too soon demise, she was the director of career services for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana.

I still miss her.

Dad is still in the hospital. They don't know what is the matter. He might likely get to go home tomorrow or Saturday. In the meantime, he's resting. And Mom went home to rest, too.

I've started watching On Moonlight Bay with Doris Day and Gordon MacRae. I forgot how much like Meet Me in St. Louis it is, right down to Leon Ames as the dad who moves his family.

The reviews for Encores! are trickling in.  Ben Brantley gave it a wonderful NY TIMES review.

Any news about it being recorded?

I doubt it.  There is no longer a Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization to pay for one. 

What happened to the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization??

I vaguely remember reading something about it being bought by a European conglomerate...or something like that.

It is nothing serious, but the drive up to Mercer Island would be a little tough on my knee.

It kept telling me that I had already posted it.

If I try to post a second post less than 5 seconds after my last post, it won't post at all.  I have to click the Preview button, and from there I can then post.

This was after several minutes.  So, I had to go to preview and post from there.

I wonder why it has a 5-second wait period.
