Today is the birthday of bank robber John Dillinger.

John has been good to me over the years.  I've written about him many times (i.e. short stories, a movie).  Indeed, I've been to Chicago's Biograph Theater where he "supposedly" met his end, and I even paid my respects at the grave of one of his gang members (Homer Van Meter) when I visited Fort Wayne, IN, a few years ago.  (Who put the flowers on it?)

So, happy birthday, John!

Too bad the play is closing.

Is anybody else here watching the new TV series, ANIMAL KINGDOM with Ellen Barkin?

I liked the Australian movie version a few years back with Jackie Weaver, but this series is very depressing.  The actors are fine, but the story is not easy to follow.  Too many characters and some of them look alike. 

I've watched three episodes.  Not sure I'll watch any more.

I hate their new schedule.  For the past seasons, the MAJOR CRIMES repeat of the following week was at 8:00 and the new episode at 9:00 on Mondays. 
RIZZOLI & ISLES did the same schedule on Tuesday. Now they are both on Monday:
8:00 repeat of last week's RIZZOLI & ISLES
9:00 new RIZZOLI & ISLES
10:00 new MAJOR CRIMES and if you miss it, go screw yourself seems to be the TNT approach to things

Last night I saw Motown: The Musical - while a little long, I really like this musical.  It's the second time I've seen it.  It's worth one night in the theatre to hear these songs and to learn a little about the history about Motown - whether it's true or not, I don't know - but for a jukebox musical, it'e one of the best.

In other news - the puppy which I thought was going to join DD Ben and me in August, is actually joining us on Monday!   Miscommunication (not on my part) from the breeder.  Well, it is what it is and I must spend my day cleaning up the apartment.  I'm excited... not sure DD Ben is, but soon it will be DD's Ben and Leo (Ben is Benedict Francis and Leo is Leopold Pius)

I was supposed to be in Beverly Hills today, just a couple blocks from Mr Chow's, but plans were changed. My neighbor downstairs was scheduled for a procedure on his back. It's one of those where they won't let you go home on your own, so I was the designated driver. The nurse called him early this morning and said they're postponing it. Apparently, one of his labs was too high. Poor guy. He's been trying to get this taken care of for several months. Between my availability and his it was difficult to schedule and we'd both put today aside for it.  Oh, well.

Anatomy of a Broadway Flop: Why These 4 Shows Failed

"The woeful wordplay writes itself. “American Psycho” met a gruesome end. “Tuck Everlasting” was not immortal. “Bright Star” ran out of fuel. And “Disaster!” proved to be — well, you can finish that one yourself.

"Broadway is a brutal business, in which real success is enjoyed by a handful of shows, while a vast majority crash and burn. And this season was especially tough, because one show, “Hamilton,” gobbled up much of the attention, enthusiasm and awards that motivate potential ticket buyers..."

No tree people because, as always, the business manager has to get approval and that approval sometimes takes years although I've told him at the very least they have to come this week to trim back around the DirecTV dish or they can take over paying those bills, and also cut the little fruit balls that are relentlessly falling from the main palm tree and that are landing everywhere including the pool.

Well, one of my staff is retiring at the end of the month, and today I was looking at the eight applications for potential interviewees.  Tomorrow morning, my supervisor, the other person on the hiring team and I will meet to discuss said potential interviewees.  We do have two in-house candidates.  The person who is retiring was the person I hired to replace me when I became the supervisor of the department, so she was the first person that I hired.  Now I'm replacing her.  Things are certainly changing.

Anatomy of a Broadway Flop: Why These 4 Shows Failed

"The woeful wordplay writes itself. “American Psycho” met a gruesome end. “Tuck Everlasting” was not immortal. “Bright Star” ran out of fuel. And “Disaster!” proved to be — well, you can finish that one yourself.

"Broadway is a brutal business, in which real success is enjoyed by a handful of shows, while a vast majority crash and burn. And this season was especially tough, because one show, “Hamilton,” gobbled up much of the attention, enthusiasm and awards that motivate potential ticket buyers..."

Interesting read. Thank you, sir.

Watching the original "My Sister Eileen" with Rosalind Russell leading a fine cast that includes Janet Blair, George Tobias, . It's another in this screwball comedy series and while the acting is good, the movie is kinda creaky.

Larry, Moe and Curly managed to make a surprise appearance at the very end of the film.

We did record at Right Track several times, but not that one - I think the one we used was in the 50s somewhere - I'm sure we did Bells Are Ringing there.

In the Cast Recordings group on Facebook someone started a Follies thread about my remix (it happens a few times a year) and suddenly we sold a bunch of copies - it's like, those people had no idea we'd done it - how on earth could they have missed that news for the past five years?

Wednesday afternoon greetings from Orlando!  We had a smooth trip from Macon and have settled in here for a week.  First things first - we're doing laundry!

Glad to hear you made it safe and sound

Thanks, DR Vixmom!  Richard is pushing 70 and I'm on Medicare and this is the first time either of us has driven to Florida.  We've flown here together twice, but driving down is a "rite of passage."

Hope your trip next week is smooth.  Are going to try to meet up on I-95?


That would be fun. When are you leaving Orlando?

"Yes, we have no detergent
We have-a no detergent today."


Well, we do, DR Ron, but it cost a fortune in the hotel gift shop!

I always tell people, laundry detergent makes a tasteful, thoughtful gift, but i still prefer Godivas.


Damn, and here I thought I was all done with my Christmas shopping

If you're giving me a box of Tide, forget it!

In other news - the puppy which I thought was going to join DD Ben and me in August, is actually joining us on Monday!   Miscommunication (not on my part) from the breeder.  Well, it is what it is and I must spend my day cleaning up the apartment.  I'm excited... not sure DD Ben is, but soon it will be DD's Ben and Leo (Ben is Benedict Francis and Leo is Leopold Pius)


Congratulations on the new addition to the family.

I was supposed to be in Beverly Hills today, just a couple blocks from Mr Chow's, but plans were changed. My neighbor downstairs was scheduled for a procedure on his back. It's one of those where they won't let you go home on your own, so I was the designated driver. The nurse called him early this morning and said they're postponing it. Apparently, one of his labs was too high. Poor guy. He's been trying to get this taken care of for several months. Between my availability and his it was difficult to schedule and we'd both put today aside for it.  Oh, well.

Vibes for your neighbor!

It was okay and it satisfied the craving, but the meat sauce was just so-so.
