Possible topic: memories of going camping, since it came up last night?  And would you do it now at your more advanced age?

Just a suggestion.

What i recall most about Cub Scout / Boy Scout camping was that the simple cheese sandwiches felt like such a luxury, given we were in the middle of nowhere.   And the marshmallows on the campfire.

And from summer camp camping - the unique way of putting out the campfire at night.

I was awake very late last night and got little more than five hours sleep.

But I'm up, and that's that.  Perhaps a nap later.

My dream:  The show was Do I Hear a Waltz? but the song as I woke up was "I Can See It" from The Fantasticks.  George W. Bush was dubbing some of the vocal in the recording booth, and they had to disguise the melody or rhythm of a few of the phrases as a matter of security.

Saturday morning greetings!  In about an hour I will take some more things over for the AAUW garage sale and see if Betty wants me to stay to help.  The main thing I'm taking today is what's left of the Noritake stoneware that Richard and I selected as our everyday dishes when we were married.  We used it for 20+ years and replaced when it no longer matched the kitchen.  We had service for 10, but several salad plates and cereal bowls bit the dust along the way.  Still a nice set, though...

Saturday....rainy day.....I will continue to work on the slide show.....  One of our actors...the one who plays Aunt March has to drop out of the show.  Her father had a heart attack and he is scheduled for surgery, etc, and she doesn't think she can concentrate on the show - or she might have to miss rehearsals/performances.

So.....I shall wait until the role is recast to do that slide.....

My favorite camping memories are of going with my sister and brother-in-law to Croatia for a few days. It was August but the temperatures were in the 50s and it was rainy. Still, it was beautiful. We saw plenty, including the ruins where Julie Taymor filmed Titus. We slept in their camping trailer, not in a tent, but this was before my introduction to the BiPAP machine that is my lifeline. I wonder what I'd do without it on the camping trail.

DR TCB, I am sorry that you found Sandy so changed.  In January 1987, my producer friend Bill Tynes died from AIDS.  I remember the day in late 1986 when I was visiting him and he was talking on the phone to Susan Lucci.  We had been talking about Christmas trip back to California, and I suddently realized: he;s not coming back to Manhattan. I will never see him alive after December 17.

He was on the phone4, laughing over that day;s soap silliness with Susan and I was fighting to keep my composure. The rst of my visit was a mess as I fought back tears and tried to remain chipper.

He died on Jan. 9, 1987.

What I'm eating:

(because everyone was dying to know)

Everything bagel, lightly toasted with scallion cream cheese.

Applewood smoked bacon.  It started on the side, till I discovered it really belongs on top of the cream cheese on top of the bagel.  Truly, one of the best taste combo explosions I've ever had in my mouth.

Camping with my parents was fun when I was a kid.  We had 2 memorable trips - one near Interlochen, Michigan, and another near Bar Harbor, Maine.  But when I became the adult and realized that the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and other household chores would have to be done without modern conveniences, it didn't sound like so much fun.  Now, my idea of roughing it is a hotel without wifi.

TCB, I'm sorry your visit with Sandy was so difficult. It's always hard to watch people we care about go through difficult times. But for Sandy I suspect it was some much-needed friendship and companionship. The fact that you took the time and trouble to come see him, your empathy and caring--he can draw strength from that. You may have done more for him than words can say.

Are there other ways you can stay in touch? Phone calls? Easier for you and maybe even easier in some ways for him. I don't mean to replace visits, but to supplement them. Would it mean anything to him to know how we're all routing for him, too?

My dream:  The show was Do I Hear a Waltz? but the song as I woke up was "I Can See It" from The Fantasticks.  George W. Bush was dubbing some of the vocal in the recording booth, and they had to disguise the melody or rhythm of a few of the phrases as a matter of security.

In the early days of our marriage we purchased a tent with our best friend.  While fun when we went we didn't go all that often,.  We lent it to friends who fed the little critters which in turn ate a hole in the tent.  We never replaced it.

I really am not a fan of sleeping on a lumpy cold ground and having to trek in the cold to the bathroom.

When I was reading DR John G's remarks in last night's posts I thought once again how I could not be a food critic. I don't doubt that he derives much pleasure from these exotic meals, but I could just not do it. Then I saw DR George's post, which summed up my feelings quite graphically.   ;D

I won't write about what was served today! ;)

P.B.F.A.  (Potential Brain Fart Alert)

Did we know about this?  Perhaps more to the point, did I know about it, and forget?

You are right.  Who knew that Dale Hensley was playing Bellomy.

Now I'm trying to chill out to Brooklyn. I'm glad I read the book, but I don't think it's necessary at all. And Saoirse Ronan is as incredible as BK let on. It's an amazing performance.

One thing I will pass along foodwise that was quite incredible. Friends who are chefs bought an ice cream parlor, so I stopped by. They weren't in, but I had a small bowl of Frutti di Bosco (berries) and something called Bill Berry. It was the berries. And I about licked the cup.

What happened is that someone stopped here on Thursday and wrote a check for two tickets for tonight's show.  I took the check and wrote down her name.


When do you have time to work the box office?

It's just the half hour before the show starts, so there's nothing else that I would be doing.

Does anyone else have a word that they mistype 99% of the time?  For me the word is performance, which I always try to type as perfromance.

For me on my tablet, it's when I type the word "good."  For some reason I always hit the keys as "goid."  Fortunately, I'm usually able to catch it and correct it.

I had to go back and uncorrect performance because spellcheck kept correcting it.

Is it because of your romance with performing?

Possibly, or just bad typing skills.

Do you sell soft drinks or water?  If so, that is part of your problem.

We sell water and San Pellegrino Limonata (https://www.sanpellegrinofruitbeverages.com/us/en/limonata-261) and Aranciata (https://www.sanpellegrinofruitbeverages.com/us/en/aranciata-259) fruit beverages, but I don't remember ever having a line as long as we had tonight.

Video recording is a whole separate thing from the audio recording - the sizzle reel (highlights from the show) is from the video recording - CD will be from the audio recording we did at the two final shows.
