Well, you've read the notes, the notes sang great songs, and now it is time for you to post until the singing cows come home.

And the word of the day is: TOGGERY!

Christmas Eve I may go to church and then back home to finish wrapping packages and listening to holiday music.
Christmas Day is presents and dinner at my sister's house.

Tom, yesterday, said:
With that much sodium, it sounds like Jimmy Dean's.
The sodium was kind of high, too (1030 mg, 43% daily value), but it was 400 mg of cholesterol that was 133% daily value.
It actually was Atkins Farmhouse-Style Sausage Scramble (https://www.atkins.com/products/frozen-meals/breakfast-bowls/farmhouse-style-sausage-scramble).

Just had to

We always go to my parents' house for Christmas Eve, and my sister's on Christmas Day in the afternoon.

Good, but not great. I think if it had a cheesy sauce, it could've been better, but it's still too much cholesterol. I'm trying to cut down.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Listening to some William Walton - wonderful composer, both classical and film.
-
Yes, that is crazy to have 133% of your daily limit.

Thanks for your comments last night, JohnG and TCB!
-
JohnG - what a fascinating observation about the score vs. script of MERRILY as far as (if I have your point right) the lead character's output being represented by one number.
That leads to the question of how else the score could have brought it all together for the audience (most seeing the show just one time in the theatre) given the structure - which for some people would raise the question of whether the structure of the original play ever lent itself readily to a completely satisfying general-audience-pleasing musical, if the lead characters were to be songwriters.
-
Hmm, I should have done that over several posts. we could have been at page 2 by now. :)
-
good morning to all

From YESTERDAY
John G
If you listen to the score backwards (Forward in time) you can hear the evolution of the song Good Thing Going, which is the song/music I believe you were referring to. At some point in the story around the time (Forward time) of Franklin Shepard, INC he stops writing music gets into movies
Sondheim uses Good Thing Going thematically in his music in Act 1 which is then used fuller realized in Act 2.
It gets confusing.
If you have iTunes trying putting the score in reverse order and I think you will hear what I am trying to say.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Physical therapy in 90 minutes, I;d rather sleep in, but this is better for me.
-
I dreamed that I was working in an office of Frank Loesser Music, and one of my clerks, a pretty blonde, would not stop singing. Her name was Betty Grable. I encouraged her attempts to get into the theatre.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good advice for Ms. Garble, Elmore.
-
I have never listened to Merrily backwards (or forwards), Michael. I'll have to give it a try.
-
I may go down to the Lincoln Center theatre and pick up the tickets for the film. It's my last $25 until Thursday, which really pisses me off, but I've made a commitment, and I look forward to seeing Charlotte.
-
BK, "I Love To Walk In the Rain" is one of my all-time faves! I once long ago arranged it for a tiny Daisy Egan and the New York City Gay Men's Chorus while she was appearing in "The Secret Garden."
-
I'm planning on going to San Angelo for a few days. I'll probably leave on Christmas Day if my friends in town continue their Christmas Eve party and liquor exchange. And of course, DR Jane will be here around that time. Is the date still Dec. 23?
-
I saw "Merrily We Roll Along" in the second preview after the leading man was replaced, and it was dreadful. There were many improvements by the last performance, which I saw, but I do not like the show, and I believe that if it had been by Cole Porter or Kern it would now be a footnote in their careers. Because the Sondheim Cult cannot let a scrap of his writing go without becoming a holy relic, this dead horse of a show gets flogged over and over. I enjoyed much of the Encores! version, but I think it's a mess of a show.
-
Good morning, all.
-
On the train to the city, so can't post much. At least not on this phone.
-
Good morning.

Christmas is months away-- no need to think about it now!

Thanks to ALL for the thoughts and vibes for Trent.
The surgery finally started at 8:30 p.m. - 12 1/2 hours after it was scheduled - the lungs did indeed miss the first flight....and then the second flight itself was delayed.....
Transplant was completed at 3:15 a.m. - then there was the closing up.....so he is still in recovery. This process will be long, but we shall see. A lung transplant does NOT cure the cystic fibrosis since the disease is still in the cells of the body, but it does make breathing easier and the quality of life is better.

Rehearsal & Meeting vibes for MR BK.
DR KERRY - check your calendar.
We need photos of your costume DR GEORGE!

Today Precious has a vet appt. at 5 p.m. She has been scratching and biting and has some "hot spots".....not sure what is wrong...and I am sure the vet will yell at me....but maybe he will give her a shot that will stop the symptoms.....or something.
-
Christmas is months away-- no need to think about it now!
I like your thinking.

TOD: Will, once again, be flying east to Columbia SC via Atlanta GA.
I will be met by my mom and my Aunt Doris. We will drive back to Johnston SC to begin, once again, our rituals of holiday dinners, lunches at the Edgefield Pool Room, shopping in North Augusta SC and Aiken SC, the placing of flowers on graves, and for multiple games of Skip-Bo.

I discovered a store in SA that sells loose Russian candies that you can buy by the bag. They all come in bright wrappers and are labeled in some unreadable, Cyrillic letters. (The exception is one simply labeled Vodka, which, I guess, transcends language barriers.) tGuessing what a candy will be is part of the fun.
I hadn't seen this outside of some of the stores in Little Odessa.

How are you feeling, Ron?

How are you feeling, Ron?
All things considered, I am fine.

Blood pressure is under control.
Blood sugar is under control.
Heart beat is steady.
Some part of my meds robs me of energy most of the time. I told my doctor yesterday that, on the rare occasion when I forget to take my morning pills regimen, I suddenly find myself possessed of energy I "used to have" in abundance. Now that I know what causes it, I make extra sure I've taken my morning pills.
The doctor pointed to my "carvedilol" prescription and said "All the 'lols' can do that to you".
-
Tuesday morning greetings! I will be E & T most of the day because I have a book discussion at noon at the library where my career began and a 3:15 appointment to have my eyes examined.
-
...The doctor pointed to my "carvedilol" prescription and said "All the 'lols' can do that to you".
NadaLOL is what does that to me.

Ron P - I'd never thought of that, energy level for quality of life, being a side effect of a necessary drug. I'll have to pay more attention to those kinds of side effects.

DR JRand, thanks for the update on your nephew Trent - continued vibes and prayers for him!

Thanks DR GINNY......it will be a LONG recovery process....but that is to be expected.

DR JOHN G I thought you wrote Russian CandLes......
-
Hopefully we will just have a nice quiet Christmas. My family usually does visits and gift exchanges - if any - before the REAL day, so that everyone has the REAL day for themselves and their families......
-
DR RLP - next year you won't have to DRIVE so far.
-
I am home and all wet from the rain. The therapy was painful this morning. My left thigh is all knotted up again and that was one painful massage. I began the bikes tofday, so I did 2 miles and burned 40 or so calories.
-
Then I bused down to Lincoln Center to buy the movie tickets for tomorrow night. While I was waiting for the box office to open, I sat in the lobby, and the young man at the door and I chatted. when I told him we wanted to see the movie tomorrow since it ended on Thursday, he checked the schedule and told me it was playing all next week. They don't post the next week's schedule until Tuesdays.
So . . . I called Charlotte and we are going next week. Other good news? My check will be ready for pickup tomorrow. Thank God.

I'm up, I'm up - just about eight hours of sleep. The fence people are very respectful and very quiet.

Double good news.

Thanks DR JANE & MR BK....the recovery continues.
-
That's double good news DR ELMORE!!!! Get the check vibes for YOU!
I expect a check on Saturday....I am a bit concerned about the new Medicare Part B deductible which happens in January.....I hope it just eats up the small COA we are supposed to get....which didn't happen with SS last year.
-
Good Morning
-
DR RLP - next year you won't have to DRIVE so far.
Next year will be a matter of "being there".
-
Just played a funeral - run of the mill, nothing exciting.
-
Good Morning
Good day.
How are you this beautiful day?

TOD - I'm really excited this year because I'll have 2 weeks off with no commitments. Usually, during my 2 weeks off of school, Christmas falls in there somehow and I'm always busy at church etc. But this year, school gets out on December 22 and Christmas falls on a weekend, so that leaves 2 weeks of nothing. Also, this year, I'm not doing a show in December so I have a lot of free time to enjoy the holiday time.
-
Thanks DR JANE & MR BK....the recovery continues.
Great news. And more vibes.
-
Jane, Dec23 is Noche de los Rabanos, or Night of the Radishes. It's a special night probably to no one but me but we will have to bend an elbow in honor of this great root vegetable.

Back from a Chinese chicken salad and a bagel, and picking up a couple of packages, one of which contained the Bernstein cycle of Sibelius symphonies with the NY Phil. Listening to them now and they're pretty great so far, with very nice remastered sound with incredible orchestral detail. His performances tend to be on the fast side, but I like them and in terms of the first symphony I think I have to give Lenny the edge over Ormandy. While I enjoyed the Berglund set, the sound is just not detailed like this and when I'm listening to great music I really want to HEAR it, and that includes all the orchestration detail. That's why elmore likes me :)
-
But when I've finished with the Bernstein I will give the Berglund another listen, just to hear it again - it's a favorite of a lot of folks.
-
Good evening.
Back from the city way earlier than originally planned. And that's a fine thing.
-
HA! to DR ELMORE and DR JOHN G.
-
Dr Eagle Eye found a couple of fleas on Precious....so she got a flea shot and a steroid shot to help heal the hot spots.....and a monthly flea pill that should take care of thing. She's already doing better, sleeping in her own bed for the first time in a few weeks.
-
The thought of orchestrating something like The Planets......makes my mind explode! Where does one start? Or do you just follow the advice of Maria Rainer Von Trapp?
-
4OUR!!

Today's rain was totally annoying for walking around the city. I took care of my business downtown in the morning. The Metrocard service center was nicely staffed (with nice staff) and I was in and out of there in hardly more than twenty minutes.
But I then realized I did NOT want to spend several hours schlepping around in the rain before my film showing at 4:30 pm. I'd originally planned to walk around, stop in Academy Records/CDs, get something to eat, maybe browse the Juilliard store, that kind of thing. But at this point I didn't feel the need to do any of that, including eating, and I wondered if I could get into an earlier showing.
So I trained it straight to Lincoln Center -- very likely just missing DR Elmore at the box office! -- and the nice redhead replaced my 4:30 ticket with a 12:30 one. There were all of a dozen people at that showing, so I guess that wasn't too inconvenient for them.
That got me out of there and on a 3:00 train back home, including grabbing a sandwich for the train. Traffic looked absolutely miserable everywhere, and even my ten-minute drive home from the station felt like an hour. But the film is well worth the trip, and the day goes into the success column in spite of less than optimal conditions.
-
As to the Metrocard itself...
Can we say: WORST! PHOTO! EVER! ?
This is the temporary card. The permanent one gets mailed, so let's hope they find a better picture of someone - anyone - in the meantime to print on it.
Lord love a duck...
-
How did you like the film?
-
I liked it a lot, but there are a couple of aspects of the show's history for which I wished for more time and detail -- or even SOME time and detail. I look forward to comparing notes after you've seen it.
-
But great news, DR Elmore -- about the check AND the film showings continuing another week. I'd be sorely tempted to go back myself, depending on how busy life gets, and it's about to start getting pretty busy for the month.
It's annoying that they don't list the entire run on their web site. Maybe they really do plan some of this week by week based on demand, but another annoying thing they do is show just two days on the listings page, and you have to click to see more. WTF? Give us the damned information so we can make informed choices.
-
Rehearsal & Meeting vibes for MR BK.
DR KERRY - check your calendar.
We need photos of your costume DR GEORGE!
There's a picture on the faceplace, but I didn't have my cravat or my vest, yet. Hopefully, I can get a new picture within the next couple of days so that our event/TAO page can be updated.

Thanks for the vibes DR GEORGE....looking forward to the costumed photo.
Thanks for the movie review DR CHAS SMITH....I am sure I will see it on DVD.
-
So glad to hear Trent came through the surgery ok. Vibes and good thoughts for his recovery!
-
TOD: Cooking and washing dishes, most likely.
-
More vibes for Trent!
-
TOD: I'll be going to Buffalo on the 22nd. My brother and sister-in-law have a get-together every Christmas Eve, so I'll be going there, weather-permitting (I'll be staying with DR Kate and she lives about 1/2 hour from my brother's house). On Christmas Day I think it will be just DR Kate and her husband and I for dinner at their house.
-
Tonight's Paddy Considine film is a thriller, "Close your Eyes," and it's pretty creepy. Last night i watch him in a revenge film, "Dead Man's Shoes," which reminded me of an updated Jacobean revenge-gorror play like "The Revenger's tragedy." Paddy plated a soldier returned to England who wreaks revenge on a group of skinheads who abused his mentally and physically handicapped younger brother. Iy was brutal and bleak, and it fulfilled all of my revenge fantasies on the psychopathic neighbor kid Frankie Cessna who blinded Randy in one eye when he was seven.

Thank you DR JOHN G.

I'm glad the problem was found. Might you have fleas in your house you need to get rid of?
-
DR Chas it is always nice when changes can be made as easily as yours were today.
-
it fulfilled all of my revenge fantasies on the psychopathic neighbor kid Frankie Cessna who blinded Randy in one eye when he was seven.
:o I don't believe I ever heard this story before. That is worse than Bryan's friend who lost his hearing in one ear due to a bully at school.
-
TOD: Cooking and washing dishes, most likely.
The cooking part, to me, would be a merry Christmas. The cleaning not so much.
-
Waiting at the airport for Carol to arrive. This gives me a chance to listen to a little more of A Gentleman in Moscow.
-
It's one of four books I'm reading and I feel I have no time to read.
-
Well, it's time to leave for rehearsal. Hopefully, I'll have my cravat, and with my vest that was finished last night, my costume should be complete! I might (mind you, I said might) be able to get a picture, but we'll see if there's time.
Be back later.
-
Looks like we're getting an IKEA. And it's going to be near me, near my Costco.
-
Been relaxing (sort of) and sitting on my couch like so much fish listening to the Daphnis and Chloe SACD, which was gorgeous. I've been researching SACDs and what were and are the best, in pop and classical - and there are some incredible things out there that unfortunately go for huge money - would be fun to hear them, but not at those prices. I gather SACD died a slow death as all niche stuff does, and unfortunately that was a decade ago. Blu-ray audio, too, which I also know nothing about. So, I'm afraid I'll never get to experience some interesting SACD titles.
-
I really liked "Close Your Eyes": good creepy supernatural thriller about a 500 year-old staying alive by transmigration of the soul and a child serial killer. There were a few good scares and some spooky performances.

So did my friend Carol -- and I even sent her a picture of them.
-
Starting to watch Rushmore. I don't know that I've ever seen this. If so, it left no impression.
-
Listening to the last of the Lenny Sibelius set, which also includes the Violin Concerto and several other pieces. Hands down, thus far this is the set to own - great remastered sound, and while one may quibble with a tempo here and there, it's pretty great overall.
-
Page five? Really?
-
Time for bed. Good night, all.
-
Bed? We don't need no stinking bed.
-
I'm back to William Walton - can't get enough of his two symphonies, but it's all great.

What is this errant and truant baloney?

So did I.

Tomorrow morning is my great nephew's arraignment. Please send vibes for Elijah.
-
I had lunch with my sister and her husband. It was decided that I wouldn't go to court tomorrow.
-
Come to think of it, I still have half an Eyetalian hamburger in the frig.
-
I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow for breakfast.
-
Lunch tomorrow is at Hank's, so tomorrow night I will have half a pizza for dinner.
-
Hank's is not the world's greatest pizza, but it is pretty damn good.

I have a couple (few?) SACD-hybrid titles. I don't remember exactly how many or which ones I have, except I do know that The Manhattan Transfer even released some: "The Christmas Album (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000054OX3/)," "Vibrate (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0002VEXBE/)," and the Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops Orchestra CD, "Got Swing! (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00008KIZN/)," with special guests The Manhattan Transfer, John Pizzarelli, and Janis Siegel.

Well, it's time to leave for rehearsal. Hopefully, I'll have my cravat, and with my vest that was finished last night, my costume should be complete! I might (mind you, I said might) be able to get a picture, but we'll see if there's time.
Be back later.
My costume is complete! Here's a picture that I took of myself. A fellow cast member took a couple of full-body pictures, but they didn't turn out well enough to post.

Great photo, George. You can sure see the weight loss in your face.

Yes. Thursday is our $5 preview, and tomorrow is our last rehearsal without an audience.
