Well, you've read the notes, the notes had videos AND notes, and now it is time for you to post until the video cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DOUGHTY!
-
First post after BK!
-
Love the videos, BK! I wish I could've seen the show live!
-
And the word of the day is: DOUGHTY!
BK, you spelled my name incorrectly. It's DOUGHERTY.
:D
-
Good morning to all
-
Great videos. Looking forward to the cast album.
-
Today we toured the salt mines.
-
Good morning, all!
-
That creep Mitch McConnell just went off the air on CBS THIS MORNING.
-
I've enjoyed this long weekend, and today I think I will tackle the Moross score. I need to proofread all the lyrics as well as check off my notes, so I need to drag out my edit notes. I think I know where they are.
-
Good morning!
-
Enjoyed the videos very much, BK!
-
Good morning, all.
-
And a happy Memorial Day to yez.
-
Wonderful videos!
-
I had a very strange dream involving a lot of dogs, my parents, my brother known as Macbeth, and Carl Shaffer, one of the neighbor kids.
My second dream began with me working in the Drama Book Shop, then helping conductor John de Main research an early 19th century American opera score, then I was at the Library of Congress looking for the score. I was packing up my luggage to return to New York when I woke.
-
Today we toured the salt mines.
You're at my office?
-
I planned to come here last night but I was kidnapped by Hypnos
-
It was a busy day and fir a change a relatively productive one
-
First there was church... Two couples kindly volunteered to run coffee hour so I did. Not have to worry about that at all which was nice.
-
The Vixter was a communion assistant and I was the lay reader so was able to sit with Mom in the pews while the Vixter was up on the altar.. My mom is still faithfully coming every Sunday, much to my surprise.
-
The woman who has been in charge of the Altar Guild for the past 20+ years has been traveling quite a bit over the past year and since I am always at the early service I would jump in and get things done that weren't being done
-
A few times over the past couple if years Cathy had approached me to see f I woke take it on, but being on council and running the Social Ministry program, along with coffee hour was more than enough.
-
Now that I stepped down from Council, and resigned as Social Ministry chair, she approached me again. I asked Pastor what he thought and he urged me to take it on. The official announcement was made during the week via our church's FB page..I was amazed at the number of people that came up to me and thanked me for assuming the role
-
I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew!
-
After church I met with a kind lady in town to collect some sturdy boxes for the Vixters move. I posted on our community FB page that I was looking for boxes and received several suggestions as to which stores would give them out and one lady who had several available
-
Then I flagged down a landscaper that was in the neighborhood and got them to mow and edge the lawn, we usually do it ourselves but it was a busy weekend and Vixdad had plans for Sunday and The forecast was rain for today (they were right)
-
They did a great job, it was $20 well spent and I am seriously considering just hiring them to do it every week... If I bring my lunch to work instead of buying that would pay for it...
-
Then I changed into shorts and t shirt and my work sneakers (for gardening) , put some gardening implements in the back of the van and headed up to Home Depot to buy some plants for my plot at the community garden at church
-
This year I just bought two cherry tomato plants, three sweet pepper plants and three cucumber plants.
-
Great musical numbers, BK. I wish I'd been in town to see the show.
Looking forward to getting the CD.
-
I read vixmom's posts and now I'm worn out.
-
TOD:
Easy question for me, since I've written books (and/or plays) about all these murder cases:
William Desmond Taylor
Jack the Ripper
Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel
-
Since it was late in the season to start I bought plants. That were already well underway. In fact the tomatoplants were about two foot high and loaded with small green tomatoes and blossoms. Each of the pepper plants ha done small pepper and numerous blossoms and the cucumbers were loaded with blossoms
-
It was still quite a bit of working digging up the plot and transplanting the veggies and setting up the fencing.
-
The a set the sprinkler to run and headed into the church to clean myself up and collect the altar linens for laundering ( I left before the second service was over)
-
I almost forgot after I left my church before I went to the box lady's house I stopped at the Presbyterian church since I knew they would e at their coffee hour and surprised several of my friends that attend that church and had a quick visit.
-
Well the folks here want to go out to breakfast. So I will post more later
-
I read vixmom's posts and now I'm worn out.
(She wasn't done.)
-
Congrats to DR VIXMOM on her new church position. I'm am sure she will be a shining success.
-
What great videos in the notes.....I am sure they were even MORE fun in person.
-
Rehearsal yesterday was fine....but it was just a strange time of day to be doing the show.....and of course two people were TOO BUSY to attend, so some of the ensemble numbers weren't so hot.
Hopefully everyone will be there tonight for our Dress Rehearsal and production Photo night.
Attendance at the Open House was the smallest it had been.....Race Day and Graduation Parties kept the number down.
-
All the songs are great (I need to listen to them on the Big Speakers), and the Act 1 Finale takes the cake. Really amazing, BK.
-
TOD:
Most recently: The Jodi Arias case - she is a piece of work and her two attorneys were just as bad. She did escape the death penalty, which is actually a good thing, because now she has to pay for her appeals (after the first automatic one, I think).
During her lying testimony - she testified she was in a "Fog" and didn't remember anything about the murder. At her sentencing, she suddenly remembered a detail that she spoke about just to hurt the family of her victim.
Jodi starts speaking at about 9 minutes into this video.... Her shyster lawyer tries to warn her not to say anything.....but is ignored

I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew!
I hope not.
-
So far, it feels like a nice lazy Sunday which will be confusing by the middle of the week.
-
Memorial Day greetings! The relatives headed home to Michigan and Illinois today. Richard is at the Memorial Day service at our local cemetery and when he gets home we'll head to Cincinnati to hear our friend Rick play the Mariemont carillon.
-
Good Morning
-
I'm off the Santa Cruz this morning. Sorta a tradition with my friend, Sabrina (and her husband - another post, another time) and I. We don't really have an agenda, but we never know what will happen.
-
TOD:
Fascinating - when I was 13 years old....and still quite a story.

Topic of the DAY: I've never really been fascinated by murder cases. When I come across an article, such as Jrand's, I might read it and find it interesting, but it never goes beyond that...but that's just me. A friend of mine is fascinated by the Jack the Ripper case, and has read several books purporting to have solved the mystery of who he actually was.

I had heard something about that. I assume that my friend has, also.

That was proven to be in error.
-
So where was I? Oh yes, after leaving the church with the linens I want over to the cemetery to place flowers army Dad's and grandfather's graves.
The cemetery was full of scouts and veteran's groups who had spent the morning placing flags at all the graves. Quite a job as there are about 400,000 buriedor interred there
-
Then I went over to my mom's and helped my brother put together a glass picnic table for her rear porch, and clean and move her cast iron bench from the shed in the back to her porch in the front, and replace the storm door glass with screen doors
-
Then she had me take a bunch of metal poles from a gazebo for which she no longer had the canvas so I brought those back to the church for the ongoing metal drive
-
Then I went grocery shiopping
-
Then I came home put the groceries away and took a well earned shower.
-
Then I watched last weeks Game of Thrones in preparation for the new episode.
-
When Vixdad got home I made dinner..well really heated dinner I had bought Tony Roma's St. Louis ribs and baked beans and heated those up and microwaved a bag of frozen corn and served some store bought coleslaw on the side.
-
I was too tired for real cooking
-
Then we watched Game of Thrones and then suddenly it was this morning

My father in law was outraged to learn that if you google his name you do not come up with the fact that he is a chartered electrical engineer in Britian, ( a hard earned title of whic he is rightfully proud ) but rather that he is suspected of being Jack the Ripper!
-
The rest if the family thinks it's quite amusing which only further fueled his outrage
-
;D
-
After breakfast today the Vixter and I took some of her boxes to her storage unit
-
Well, it's time that I took a shower. I think the family is going to my parents' house, so that's probably where I'll be. If not, I'll be at my sister's.
Have a good day, all!
-
I needed that laugh. I'mean falling asleep but Keith thinks it is too early. I don'the know why since the sun might wake us at 5:00.
-
I had poles from a portable gazebo about two hours after I bought a portable gazebo.....never could get it put together.
-
A little coleslaw on the side....
-
I shall soon be on my way to a DRESS REHEARSAL wherein all of the little darlings who have been standing around talking will realize it takes time to get out of one period outfit and into another.....
-
I'm up, I'm up - I'm sure I slept ten hours - I got up at eleven-thirty, but just got back into bed for a minute and then it was one.
-
No more of THAT this week - must be up by nine or ten every day.
-
Very few fixes in the Moross score so far. This makes e very happy.
-
Vixdad is wTching the band of brothers marathon
-
We have just come back from Home Depot and Lowes where we were unsuccesful in our hunt for a replacement faucet. Our sink has a little faucet which works on alever and serves fi,termed water for filing drinking glasses... The darn thing broke and it appears the y stopped making them
-
Of course
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I hope that Vixmom's taking a well-deserved nap.
-
I'm glad that all the DRs are able to watch the clips from the show. THIS IS THE CITY is such a rousing opening. It has a BK sound to it, too.
-
I did laundry this morning and took care of some personal business stuff this afternoon. I've been mourning--and moaning--the loss of my beloved little (seated only 18) Indian eatery. Today I went to a place I always forget about. The local Hare Krishnas have a restaurant called Govinda's in Culver City/Palms. I'd never gone there before, but I'll be back. It's a buffet, half salad bar, half hot foods. Not huge, but everything was fresh and healthy and made from scratch. All-you-can-eat for $8, $6.50 for seniors. Now that's a steal. As long as they don't sing, we're fine.
-
Bruce, I'm glad you were able to get some sleep.
-
Vixmom, I hope you hire the landscaping firm. It's not easy to find people who do a good job and it'll be one less thing to worry about and have to take care of. I'm amazed you have a garden given all you do.
-
I just signed up for Acorn TV. A lot of what they offer I've already seen, but they show many shows that Netflix doesn't. At $5/month I don't need to watch it all.
-
TTFN.
-
Work session done. He'll need to do some homework, but it all went quickly.
-
Oh come on people, i started page 3 hours ago....
-
Page four
-
I took another holiday from cooking pizza and wings from one of the local pizzerias
-
My little hamlet is 6 square miles - we have 29 pizzerias, 2 supermarketsts, 2 Dunkin donuts, and 10 bagel shops.
-
And a diner,Chas
-
We switched from band of brothers to death in paradise
-
The Netflix decided it didn't want to see that anymore and kept turning it off so we switched again to midsomer murders
-
The supermarkets have bakeries within that make bagels., as do the dunkin donuts
-
I am starting to feel like I am in that Twilight Zone episode "where is everybody?"
-
I'm now home from my parents' house.
-
I had meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
-
100!!
-
101
-
Back from a fun dinner and now have all the Indiegogo signed musical quotes, which we'll send out this week.
-
Page four? Really?
-
My computer is behaving weirdly - not sure if it's the trackpad but I think it's done this before and I can't remember if the fix was to restart (that usually fixes things) or something else. It's moving the cursor when I don't want it to (when I'm typing), it's opening iTunes when I haven't asked it to, it opened my address book by itself.
-
Good evening, all.
-
Here's hoping all had a good Memorial Day.
-
The day started with a thunderstorm cutting off the power at about 7 a.m. I hate it when that happens on the rare day that I can sleep late.
-
So, I reset the alarm clock and tried to get another couple of hours of sleep, but the storm only picked up and the power went out again. Both times, it was only about a half minute, but I couldn't get back to sleep after the second one.
-
After a few hours of dancing, I went out to visit my friend, Mickey, who lost her husband recently. She and her saughter have been packing up the house and she had a few cookbooks she wanted to give me.
-
A few cookbooks turned out to be five boxes and a couple of bags.
-
She also gave me 10 or 12 cases of canning jars that they hadn't used. She knows I've developed the bug to make jams, jellies, etc.
-
I took dinner out to them. Hot fried chicken with a bunch of sides, like Kentucky wonder beans, sweet potatoes and corn. But the big hit was the fried okra, which we all devoured in minutes.
-
Dessert was an excellent array of German chocolate cake, carrot cake and pecan pie, all of which disappeared way too quickly.
-
I hope those dishes meet with George's and Jeanne's approval. :)
-
Then I came home and watched Visconti's Le Notti Bianche (White Nights). It's not to be confused with the Mikhail Baryshnikov movie.
-
Forgot to share my favorite line from the party last night:
Like a kid in a crack store.
-
I asked the speaker if he knew where the crack stores were in the area. Sadly, he did not.
-
Hello, 1 guest.
-
What's your name?
-
Five!
-
Six..pick up sticks
Seven eight...
-
Hello all.
-
Odd weekend...many telephone conversations...some Hitchcock movies...and perusing artwork online of movie posters.
-
Happy Memorial Day.
I hope each of you took a moment to reflect upon the sacrifices of all families who have lost loved ones in military service.
-
Good night, now!
-
I hope those dishes meet with George's and Jeanne's approval. :)
They do! :D
-
Ron, what Hitchcock movies?
-
Loved the videos, BK. Really looking forward to the CD.
-
And the word of the day is: DOUGHTY!
BK, you spelled my name incorrectly. It's DOUGHERTY.
:D
I was going to go there, but I wasn't sure if you would have found the humor.
-
I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew!
Of course not, as long as you quit your day job.
-
TOD:

Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel
Definitely the William Desmond Taylor murder, and Druxy's book was the best I have read on that subject.
-
It wasn't ME!
Hell, you can't even get a Tony nomination.
-

I would have. :)
-
I gotta tell you. I just had one of those "so and so mentioned you in a comment" things on Facebook - I clicked on it and was immediately redirected to a porn site. I don't get it. How does Facebook not know about this crap and protect themselves against it. I instantly cleared my cache and history.
-
Good evening!
-
Greetings, 1 Guest!
-
Well, I broke down and did the deed today.
-
I bought some new living room furniture.
-
As I said last week, it started out as a look for a new
coffee cocktail table.
-
I ended up buying a new cocktail table, two end tables, a television center, and a new electric recliner.
-
The recliner is actually what they call a chair and a half.
-
The chair and a half makes me feel really skinny when I sit in it.
-
Anyway, I got 20% off (Memorial Day Sale) and 0 interest for 12 months.
-
The furniture will be delivered on June 10.
-
Bruce, I'm glad you were able to get some sleep.
Sleep, what is that?
-
The purchase will probably give me nightmares for a few nights, but I think it was a good decision.
-
I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew!
Of course not, as long as you quit your day job.
If only she could.
-
It is going to be 80 degrees tomorrow, when everybody goes back to school and work.
-
The chair and a half makes me feel really skinny when I sit in it.
☺
Congratulations on your new furniture.
-
I asked the speaker if he knew where the crack stores were in the area. Sadly, he did not.
;D
-

Thank you.

That's great, Tom! Congrats!

My sister is going through a similar thing...kind of. Last week, she put in an offer to buy a HOUSE and it was accepted!
-
I bought some new living room furniture.
That's great, Tom! Congrats!
Thank you, George.
-
It's not her first home purchase but it's still nerve-wracking!
-
Well, this is really cool! Volunteers are the Heartbeat of The Washington Center for the Performing Arts (http://www.thurstontalk.com/2016/05/28/volunteers-washington-center/). My friend Margo is quoted in the article. :D

But no mention of you?
