Mom is better thanks all for the vibes
Mark and I are in Overland, Kansas right now for the premiere of the brand new musical, "Have You Met Miss Jones?" It's a show written by Shirley Jone's son, Shaun Cassidy, and stars her other son, Patrick Cassidy and herself. It's surprisingly good. It has many songs from Shirley's musicals, but also several songs I'm sure no one in the audience has ever heard. For instance, it has songs from "Fade Out Fade In", "Wish You Were Here" and "Maggie Flynn". I know, Maggie who? The script is smart and at about 2 hours long, the show moves along at a nice pace. So, if anyone here lives within driving distance, I highly recommend it.

Sounds like fun, but the first two shows were more Jack Cassidy than Shirley. I know people love Maggie Flynn, but I find the children unbearable and some of the rhyming so clunky that I can't warm up to the music.

Okay, I re-read what I wrote and my paragraph structure does misleadingly suggest they're all Shirley Jones musicals. Sorry about that! The show has songs from many shows that Shirley never appeared in, including "Pirates of Penzance" and "Annie Get Your Gun" which are shows that Patrick starred in on Broadway. The show is about Shirley's life. And Jack Cassidy and her children were a part of her life, so the show captures their work as well as hers. I mean, if the show just had songs from Oklahoma!, Carousel, and The Music Man, it wouldn't be much of a show now would it?
Well... ::)
Tomorrow morning, I'm helping my sister at Olympia's Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention walk.

I usually dress as though I just climbed off my coal barge, but I'm happy.
I also see that my fashion sense has changed little in 68 years.
Saturday morning greetings! I've been over to my friend Katie's for a little orientation to her house and to pick up a key. You see, she agreed to host the October 3 meeting of Current Events Club and she and her husband now need to be out of town. It was just simpler to keep the venue and have me stand in as "hostess." It won't be the first time I've attended a meeting at her house without her and it's not the first time I've been in charge of her house. Back in 1992, I was expecting a huge contingent of relatives for Christmas and asked Katie if she had a roll-away bed we could borrow. She said, "No, but you're welcome to use our house while we're out of town!" Mom and I set it up like a bed 'n' breakfast for my sister's family and, after they left, remade the beds and stocked the refrigerator for Katie's returning family.
OK, two New Yorkers up and neither responded to my very important question....
My friend is staying in mi-Manhattan and wants to know which deli he should go to for "one of those big corned beef sandwiches".
He specified Jewish deli but I figure that goes without saying ;)
Bruce, I also figured you would answer this question last night.
I buy clothes at my local Goodwill......if I need something nice and new, I go to Burlington.... I am very fortunate because my mother is an excellent seamstress and can do any alterations that need done. It goes without saying that I am NOT a fashion plate - nor was I EVER!
I have recently returned to the 38 waist from a 42....and wouldn't mind going on down to a 36.....I am at 207 lbs right now....down from 247.....
My goal is somewhere in the 190's....we shall see how that goes.

Bravo for you, DR JRand66! I discovered that I've added 6 lbs since my last doctor visit. that is not good.
I wish I could minimize my waist. I have been climbing that mountain and not losing anything. Now I have tendonitis in my heel.
Great diet result news from Jrand, Keith and George!!!
Bruce I hope you reach your goal and then find nice fitting clothes which should help you maintain your weight. For the first time ever Keith had to work at gaining 5 pounds. He reached his goal this morning and was pleased with himself. He had a good time working at this new goal :)
Dancing is great DR JOHN G. I do have to say that NOT eating after 6 p.m. is difficult but effective.....no diet drinks, only water....and only eating bread and pasta now and then..... And no alcohol..... ALL of these things are HARD!!!

I've always had an interest in fashion and style, though you might not know it from the way I dress these days--jeans and a polo shirt. I like natural fabrics and comfortable, classic styles. That means there is little in the stores that I like. I am not trendy.
I had a notice on the computer that Time Machine couldn't complete its backup due to lack of space - that's odd as it's supposed to simply delete the oldest backups so that it always has room. I'm trying again, but may have to call Apple.

Do you have your time machine setup so that it will delete the oldest backups when space is needed?
Very interesting stories DR JEANNE....thanks for sharing!
Who do you think is the best film costume designer of the Golden Age?
I wish I could minimize my waist.
When I was in high school I designed and made apparel that I then sold in a little boutique on Ocean Front Walk in Venice, Ca. (Not far from BK's grandparents, though I didn't know that then.) I also helped with costumes at Bluth Brothers Theatre.
I took part in UCLA's fashion design program and was especially interested in fashion illustration. But the fashion design industry was dying--more layoffs each week. I supplemented my income during my early software days by doing custom clothes for a friend who was very, very difficult to fit.

This is sooooo cool. Do you ever design and sew your own clothes?

DR Jeanne I would love to see photos of some of your designs.
It appears that DRs are losing weight right and left
Apparently about 100 minutes before I did my second jog last night at around ten after nine, there was a hit and run in Studio City - the victim was someone who worked regularly in LA theater and had in fact directed occasional dear reader Leslie's two kids - in fact, I saw one of those shows. In the reports, they had the plate number so I'm at a loss as to why the culprit hasn't been picked up - if they have the proper license number they certainly know whose car it is and where that person lives. The victim passed away this afternoon. The shocker, for me, is that it happened just right near Moorpark and Laurel Canyon, which is right on my jogging route. I jog from my house to Whitsett, up to Moorpark, east to Laurel Canyon and then beyond to Colfax. At nine-twenty, not quite two hours later, there was not a trace of anything - you would never have known such a thing happened. And several times this week I have jogged exactly at the time this happened and I'm here to tell you drivers are NUTS in this area with the texting and talking and paying no attention.
Travel vibes to Chas.
DR JEANNE - I have always been partial to Travilla at Fox, Edith Head at Paramount, and Michael Woulfe at RKO.
Vera West at Universal did some nice work, but most of it was daytime contemporary stuff that didn't show her off.

DR Jeanne, do not be alarmed!
Alas, I have found the missing pounds. If only there were a convenient way to return them!

I mostly buy all my clothes from Amazon.com, especially shoes. I've kind of gone shoe-crazy these past couple years. Occasionally, I get little t-shirts from Target. And sometimes I get jeans from Lands End or LLBean. I've always been pretty fussy about the fabric, always preferring silk, rayon or cotton over polyester. But these days, it's impossible to find a dress that's not made of polyester. That said, polyester has improved a lot over the years. It's much softer and more comfortable than it used to be, and I now own a plethora of polyester dresses that I get many compliments on. And I can't ever go to a Kritzerland show without someone commenting on my sparkly boots. Doug Haverty actually grabbed me by the foot once and said, "there's my favorite shoes!" It was pretty funny.

The hardest part is having to order the damn thing.

HEALING VIBES FOR YOUR TENDONITIS!!
Next week I really need to make an appointment for the pain in my arch I have had for almost a year now. Even though I walk more when we travel it doesn't hurt as much as when I walk the flat concrete here. Now it not only hurts my ankle but the pain went up my leg the other day. One morning off from walking and my leg is fine. Today I am returning to two walks. I hope it will still be better this afternoon.
I had a check up today...I need to lose 50 lbs.....

Got asked to do a written interview about the Sherman Brothers CD so just spent an hour writing the answers to the questions - that will appear on Monday morning when we announce it. I'll put the link here.

The good news of the day is that my tire was repairable and since I had bought the tire at my local BJ's it was covered under it's lifetime repair guarantee so the repair was free.

Yes. IMHO , I find the Carnegie Deli was overpriced and overhyped and I don't care for the seating arrangements. But it is considered a landmark do he. Might like to go. Just to "have the experience " https://www.google.com/search?q=carnegie+deli&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#fpstate=lie
Thanks.Healing vibes to DR's Jane and Laura!
I was going to suggest Carnegie Deli, just for the experience. The prices are outrageous, but it is an experience.
I've never been to a real deli.
I hear 2nd Street deli is also good.
I've never been to a real deli.
That doesn'the surprise me. I bet you would enjoy a good one, something I doubt you will find in the Pacific Northwest.

There is a fairly good one at Factoria Mall.
And there are a couple of them in Las Vegas, including the before-mentioned Carnegie Deli.

I've finished watching and recording The Emmy Awards. Now, I need to go through it and cut out the commercials. It's easy to do, but actually takes quite a while...fortunately, not as long as watching the whole broadcast.
