Well, you've read the notes, the notes found their own personal H spot, and now it is time for you to post until the H spot cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DECOCT!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
First post after BK!
-
Yesterday was a good day of writing.
-
But I certainly didn't expect it to wear me out.
-
I guess it was mental exercise.
-
Sorry to read about BK's computer problems.
-
But I am shocked to read about BK's hotspot.
-
I will have to think about today's topic.
-
I am very excited about the new Sherman CD, especially a signed copy!!
-
Who would ever believe that I read about it, here, before the whole world hears of it.
-
And the word of the day is: DECOCT!
I am glad I don't have to try and pronounce it.
-
I am very excited about the new Sherman CD, especially a signed copy!!
I know!! :D

But we must wait...it hasn't officially been announced, yet. ::)

I'd love to go back to NYC again. Someday....maybe.

I need to take my pills and get ready for bed.

What is stopping you? Start taking your lunch to work, and put the money you would have spent going out to lunch in a special NYC piggy bank.
-
Or stop smoking and use that money.
-
Or cut down on your alcohol intake.
-
Or, if none of those work, at the end of the day take all your change and put it in a piggy bank. You would be surprised how fast that change will add up.
-
I'd rather wait until I win the lottery so that I don't have to give up any of my vices.
-
:))
-
Or, if none of those work, at the end of the day take all your change and put it in a piggy bank. You would be surprised how fast that change will add up.
Actually, I did that for a couple of years. I put all my change in a 1-gallon glass bottle and when it was filled, I had over $450.00!
-
I'm gonna do what Nick does with the signed Twilight Time Blu-rays - anyone who orders $100 of Kritzerland CDs gets a signed copy of the Sherman CD for free.
But because you dear people have them all, I will, for here only, allow you to buy the CD and get a signed copy.
-
I should be in bed and yet I am not, thanks to my hot spot.
-
But now, to bed. I'm turning off the hot spot until morning.

PAGE TWO DANCE!!

Gee, I must have napped for over three hours.
-
Tonight I will probably be out until after the Topic has changed.
-
Are you still awake, George?
-
Tonight, TAO is having a waffles and movie night pajama party fund raiser at our performing space! We're going to show a couple of movies and serve waffles, while the patrons watch movies and eat waffles in their pajamas. Well, actual pajamas aren't required, but clothing IS!
;)

Yup.

You had me worried for a moment.

I will be at OLT.

I will be at OLT.
Cool! Hopefully, I will see it on Sunday.
-
I hear it is terrific.
-
I hear it is terrific.
I don't have the CD, and I've never heard any of it. I don't know why. I just never bought it. And I love both the men on the CD!

What movies are you showing?

What movies are you showing?
"The Adventures of Priscilla Queen, of the Desert" and "To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar."

What is the east coast going to think if we make it to page three?

What is the east coast going to think if we make it to page three?
They're going to think, "Remarkable!"
-
That, or we have nothing better to do..not even sleep.
;)
-
Well, Tom...
-
...I hate to do it...
-
...but I must go to sleep.
-
I can't keep my eyes open.
-
But...
-
...before I go..
-
OMG! IT'S PAGE THREE AT 2 IN THE A.M. DANCE!!
-
OMG!
-
Good night, George.
-
And NOW, I must go to sleep.
Good night, Tom, and all the lurkers!
-
Good morning.
-
It seems Joshie is hungry.
-
Good night.
-
Page 3 already! At 7 a.m. EST!
-
I shall soon be on that Happiness Express to Baltimore. My cousin and I planned this close to a year ago and the year has flown by!
-
The Happiness Express is known to most riders as the Northeast Regional.
-

Excellent early morning laugh, TCB!

Good morning to all

As most of you heard the great Edward Albee passed away yesterday.
One of the highlights of my educational experience was studying with him for one week. I learned a lot about theater and writing. An unique individual and very different when away form the cameras.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I have to be out of here in an hour to meet my friend Susanna Moross Tarjan for a breakfast date. She and her husband Peter are here for a wedding in Brooklyn (I think).
-
When I get back here, I've got work on "Luck, Be A Lady." I am jumping back intro Guys and Dolls and alternating work on that with Moonshine & Mistletoe.
-
Then, this afternoon, I am meeting Deniz Cordell for coffee. I do not plan on leaving the apartment tomorrow, which would have been John McGlinn's 63rd birthday.
-
BK, I'm happy that your internet dilemma was resolved by a Mary Rodgers musical!
-
Coffee!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Sad news about Edward Albee, although 88's a long life. I met him once, many years ago at the Drama Book Shop. He was rather shy, as I recall.
-
Woke up a bit sniffly and low energy with allergies this morning, so must take steps to improve that. Just what we needed -- a return of allergies, right? Like that hasn't been a hallmark of the entire summer.
-
Saturday morning greetings! Just checking in to say I'll be E & T all day because I'm taking a gel plate mono printing workshop at our local art center. I'll be home in time for the second half of Michigan/Colorado - Go, Blue!
-
RIP Edward Albee. I remember Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy in A DELICATE BALANCE at Detroit's Fisher Theatre back in the '60s.
-
Survived LIBERTY VALANCE last night, and this evening should be a most interesting one at the Abbey: THE FANTASTICKS, with a tribute to Mother Dolores Hart.
-
I will be giving the complete original cast recording of WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? a spin tomorrow in honor of Mr. Albee.
-
A remarkable production of THREE TALL WOMEN took place here nearly twenty years ago, something I've never forgotten...and a nice one of SEASCAPE just a few years back.
-
But I've always felt a lot more of Mr. Albee's output should have been on display in our regional theater community over the past couple of decades.
-
I have just been informed that there's a bacon, eggs, and potato breakfast in my near future. This is welcome news.
-
VERY happy to hear of plans for the Sherman recording.
A question for BK:
You mentioned Doug Haverty's USB turntable. When you've transferred LPs into the digital realm before, is it this same equipment that's been used, or has it been on various setups? How about acetates? Do they require something different?
These transfers have always sounded remarkable.
-
I am off to West 55th Street.
-
TOD:
I'm currently having issues with my new Mac. It's working okay, but some of the programs I use from my old Mac won't work on the new one, and some versions of programs on the new Mac have changed so much that I have to re-learn them.
Not fun.
-
On a positive note, yesterday the people at Intuit talked me through the process of converting my Quicken accounting program so that it would work with the new Mac. No charge, either.
-
I'm with you DR DRUXY.....same things happened to me when I got my new computer and was dragged into the Windows 10 rabbit hole.
-
Great news and about the Sherman CD.....I shall look forward to it....and of course being a member of the HHW Crew always has its privileges!
-
I am NOT feeling well today.....so I may be scarce around these here parts.....we shall see.
Travel vibes for DR FJL.
-
I'm up, I'm up - about six hours of sleep. I'm going to try and jog before Time Warner gets here, so it will be the shorter version probably. Or not - we'll see.
-
Vinyl transfers have been done by a variety of people, including myself, but my turntable has bit the dust.
-
Thanks, Jrand!
I'll be E and T (Entertained and Traveled) until Sunday night.
-
Most acetates can be played on a regular turntable.
-
Health vibes for Jrand!
-
Here's a question - when did America's Got Talent (or even American Idol) begin using young kids? The earliest example I can find on Google is 2013.
-
I am home from a loverly breakfast with Susanna and Peter Tarjan. As I got off the bus at 55th and Seventh Avenue I found myself in the midst of a long, long parade of young half-naked men heading downtown and carrying banners as they took over the sidewalk. One gave me a card, informing me that they are Irreverent Warriors:
http://www.irreverentwarriors.com
-
Happy Saturday Dance!!!!
-
Thanks DR FJL.....we are moving right along.
I cannot answer any AGT or AI because I avoid both programs....and The Voice and any other such show.....like the plague.
-
From DR George:
Today at my parents', my mom made stir fry with tofu.
And you didn't invite me ;)
-
It doesn't have to be bland.
-
Or, if none of those work, at the end of the day take all your change and put it in a piggy bank. You would be surprised how fast that change will add up.
Actually, I did that for a couple of years. I put all my change in a 1-gallon glass bottle and when it was filled, I had over $450.00!
I began doing that in elementary school. For awhile I had the great idea to label the jars with the name of each family member while I saved up for their birthday presents. I had no idea how clever I was because they would drop extra money into their own jars :)
-
At 18 when I moved out of my parent's home I basically survived on my penny collection. You would not be able to do that today.
Survival after Keith and I pooled our money to pay the rent. I could also eat at his house.
-
DR FJL have fun in Baltimore. I have yet to go there.
-

I would like to have seem them on stage together.

Time Warner arrived and we're back online. Router just went green, modem is working properly. Let's hope that lasts and that I never have to see an AT&T workman outside my house again.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be tribute day here.
Virginia Woolf for Mr. Albee, Show Boat for Mr. McGlinn.
-
Here's a question - when did America's Got Talent (or even American Idol) begin using young kids? The earliest example I can find on Google is 2013.
I think they had allowed kids to audition from the beginning, but they've never put a kid through to the end because, well, they're kids! I missed watching this season when it was broadcast, so I'm ketchuping through OnDemand. I've now seen the first four episodes.
-
And since we're so close...
-
PAGE-FIVE-AT-11:21-IN-THE-MORNING DANCE!!
-
First rain of the season. I have been waiting all morning for it to stop so I can walk. I suspect it will still be raining when I head out.
-
I don't mind the rain as much as the drastic drop in the temperature.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Feel-better-soon vibes to JRand!
-
Travel vibes to DR FJL and his DC.
-
I had a brief email this morning from Singdaw. He said he's fine, but very busy with work. He plans to return to HHW eventually. Nothing new, but it was good to hear from him and to know that Bruce's report from a year ago is still current.
-
Re BK's AT&T problem, I had very similar experiences with Verizon when I lived in Alexandria, VA. They'd come out to fix something and knock out half the block. They'd never get anything right, plus their reps were usually quite rude over the phone. It boggles my mind that companies can operate like this and stay in business. Some of them are even well-respected!

Not fun.
I sympathize. Before I bought my new Mac a lot of the websites I use frequently wouldn't work properly. If I complained to their tech or customer service departments the response was always that I had to upgrade. But sometimes you can't, as you'd be incompatible with other software. They don't seem to realize that. I think the best thing to do might be to keep the old computer to run the application software, then use the new computer to access various websites.
-
Would love to stay and play, but really must get some things done.
TTFN.

That's my plan with my new Windows 10 computer. I have too many programs on my Windows XP computer that I would need to buy, or to try and find equivalent programs, that I don't think it's worth it. I won't have my XP computer access the Internet anymore, so it'll otherwise be fine until it physically dies...at least, that's the plan.

I just wasted at the French Roast 70 minutes of my life waiting on a friend who never showed.
-
Last night I began the BBC series Agatha Raisin with The Quiche of Death. Cute, silly, not great.
-
A Friend Who Never Showed.....that's the title of Volume Three of my memoirs.
-
Glad to hear MR BK's computer problems have abated.
Most of my MOST irritating problems have been with my provider....there was a time when Comcast was updating to fiber optics in the neighborhood, and you could never be sure IF or HOW LONG you would have the inner web.
Computer viruses have also been troublesome.
DR JEANNE they KNOW.....they just don't care.
-
I just wasted at the French Roast 70 minutes of my life waiting on a friend who never showed.
Did you find out what happened? I hope your friend is ok.
-
We had a nice walk in a steady but not too heavy rain. Now my clothes are all drip drying. I layered as it was a bit cool, wearing one light summer rain jacket over another. Once I warmed up I was able to remove the top layer and still have a jacket to keep me somewhat dry.
-
Anyone here use a USB turntable?

Explosion on Chelsea:

Have we heard from all our HHW NYC friends? Is everyone ok??
-
We just checked into our hotel in Lumberton and saw the news
-
Lumberton!
The nation's I-95 stop!

I am back from a fun and kind of amazing evening. THE FANTASTICKS was sung and played very well, and some of it was nice to look at, but I felt that a lot got lost. It's not a great venue for it -- too large, and they tried to utilize too much of the stage real estate.
It was a great evening for Mother Dolores Hart, who has clearly been enjoying the celebrations in her honor all week. And I spent more than half an hour getting my ear talked off by Patricia Neal's daughter Tessa Dahl.
-
Anyone here use a USB turntable?
No. I came close to adding one to my arsenal a few years back, mostly for the fun of transferring things for friends since I don't intend to rid myself of my record collection. I think what stopped me was never having a trustworthy enough computer or sound card to want to fool around with it.
About that time I was introduced to the Zoom line of handheld digital audio recorders with both mic and line level inputs, and eventually bought one for recording rehearsals and whatnot, as well as for transferring things. Turns out it does a beautiful job of recording high resolution WAV files direct from my turntable, tape deck, keyboard, you name it. (It records to a multitude of WAV and MP3 standards.)
-
Have we heard from everyone? Isn't this in Ben and Ant's neighborhood or at least close to there?
-
I got a usb turntable, but it didn't work. I did find some cables that hook into a little box then into my stereo and I can use my real stereo turntable. I used it in the past and it worked. I really need to get back to that so I can get my dad's old records of his dixie bands on cd before his dementia gets too far along for him to really enjoy it
-
I actually may break down and try a USB turntable again. it would be easier than the hook up I have. There was someone on this site who had one when I was looking at them. Maybe JRand
-
I haven't caught up at all and haven't read the posts so Get well to all who feel ill, safe travels to all who are on the road. YEAH! to all who have good things and hugs to all who need them
-
Have we heard from everyone? Isn't this in Ben and Ant's neighborhood or at least close to there?
They're on 16th Street or thereabouts, so, at least several blocks away.
I don't know (or am having a brain fart) where FJL lives.

Hi Cilla :)
-
Page six? Really?
-
Good evening!
-
I just returned from George Country (aka Olympia).
-
Tonight I saw a fantastic production of THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
-
George, if you miss the closing performance tomorrow, you will regret it.
-
The performances and the show are that good!
-
Cancel any other plans. Just go!
-
I had great fun working on "the book" today.
-
A character was murdered today, which often happens in mysteries.
-
The big surprise was that it wasn't the character I had planned to kill.
-
It just happened to fall into place, so I went with it.
-
Now I just need to see if I can make it work.
-
I'm still afraid that I have too much dialog.
-
Maybe I need to go back to writing plays.
-
I guess George must still be waffling.
-
How great seeing Cilla here tonight. You are missed!
-
We had real rain today and tonight.
-
I wonder if the rain will continue through Monday?
-
Sandy and I are supposed to go to the Washington State Fair on Monday.
-
It's not as much fun in the rain.
-
Not to mention fighting the traffic and the parking in the rain.
