I suppose I should have included DEATHTRAP.  However, although I think it is an extremely well-written play, I also find it extremely predictable.  When I saw it it for the first time on Broadway, I knew exactly where it was going before it got there.  My friends, however, were completely fooled, so maybe it is just me.

Still, I always wanted to play the lead in the show. One time I saw that auditions were being held the next day, so I called a fellow actor, with whom I had done the play SLEUTH, and talked him into auditioning with me.  The next day, we went to audition, we read over the scene, and then we went in and read for it.  After we finished, we were told that we would not be cast, because they were not interested in using actors who had obviously already done the show before.

Back from bacon and eggs and fruit, then a trip to the Iliad Bookstore - haven't been there in a couple of years.  They had quite a few of my books - the two memoirs, the Kritzer books, Writer's Block, Rewind, and the short stories.  No Hofstetter books, and they did have some so those sold, which is nice.  I bought Kritzerland and Kritzer Time - both unsigned and much cheaper than I get from the publisher.  The Benjamin Kritzer WAS signed - to "Jenni" - don't know who that is and it was one of the VERY early copies without the front free endpaper.  But the sad thing was, there were two signed books, both to my beloved hairdresser of forty-six years, Teddy.  Obviously someone went and sold all his stuff, which I know is inevitable but it was still sad to see those lovely inscriptions to him.  I hope someone buys them.  I found a couple of other really cheap and interesting things.

I am feeling under the weather.  It was pouring rain and cold on Wednesday and I had to traipse around in the rain. And even though I had a big umbrella it was horrible and I felt bad afterwards.  My nose and running and my throat is raw.  I just took 2 Advil cold and sinus and that helped a bit.  Now i am starving.

My back is acting up. My left leg is better and now my back is going out.  There's a pinched nerve or something going on.  I may need to change my Ohio travel plans.

Pain moves. As the muscles relax in one area the tightness often goes elsewhere. That has been my experience many times. I've discussed it with my osteopaths, and they have seen it, too. However, pain that moves is better than pain that is stuck. Movement, frustrating as it is, is actually a good sign. It should keep moving and move OUT entirely. That's the hope!

I plan to ask her about it, as I like to know about everything that may help. If I can find a source for it I'll pass that information on. I suspect it's a Chinese product.

Dial 'M' for Murder is what I call a talking play with one great action scene.  And yes, it's much talkier than the film - Hitchcock cuts all the fat (the screenplay is by the playwright) and adds some additional suspense that can't be done in the play.  But the only dialogue he cuts that I miss is the opening two pages where Max is talking about how he kills people in his stories - it's genuinely funny.  Otherwise, I'm going to make a lot of the lifts they made for the film because it just tightens everything and my intention is to probably take the three acts and make them two.

Another day of Fiesta. Today, I sold beer. It was cool outside (in the mid-60s and with a strong wind). And people were drinking whatever it took to get drunk. So, we sold more 16-ouncce beers than 12-ounce beers. Because that's how we party nowadays.

Last night, people were picking up the wine bottles to see what the alcohol content was because they wanted to get drunk quicker.

I picked up a couple of extra Fiesta medals today, and I got news that I won another in an online contest. I don't think I've ever collected so many in one year.

Post by: John G. on April 22, 2017, 07:52:53 PM
For those not from San Antonio, many businesses and charities, agencies and Fiesta lovers create their own medals each year. Some are fundraisers for charity. A few others are gifts. Many are advertisements. Some collect dozens of them each year. I can't afford that many, but I did buy a few from charities that I support, such as those who feed the homeless. A few restaurants gave me theirs, and one today was for Bud Light since we were selling their beer.

I'm a little more than a third of the way through. It's loaded with information and a certain fizz, but on a certain level, it feels like the writer spent most of her time reading Wikipedia entries and the most superficial of stories. As soon as I get into a tale of someone like Jean Renoir or Maurice Ravel, we're on to Darius Milhaud or Le Corbousier.

Listening to music - not really in the mood for a movie.  And I had to have a chart done for the opening number in the Kritzerland show, so I had to proof that and make corrections and that's done now.

Was just about to post the Erin Moran news.  I worked with her when she was really young when I did the two Happy Days episodes those first two seasons.  She was a very sweet girl back then.  I know in her later years she was very troubled.

My back is acting up. My left leg is better and now my back is going out.  There's a pinched nerve or something going on.  I may need to change my Ohio travel plans.

Pain moves. As the muscles relax in one area the tightness often goes elsewhere. That has been my experience many times. I've discussed it with my osteopaths, and they have seen it, too. However, pain that moves is better than pain that is stuck. Movement, frustrating as it is, is actually a good sign. It should keep moving and move OUT entirely. That's the hope!

Best of vibes it moves out!  Thanks for the birthday wishes.

BTW, the acupuncturist put a topical muscle relaxer on my back yesterday. It's not one I've used. It has a smell, but not unpleasant. It did seem to help. I plan to ask her about it, as I like to know about everything that may help. If I can find a source for it I'll pass that information on. I suspect it's a Chinese product.

I will be interested.  I used to have one from a massage therapist that helped, when I used it.

Well, it's time for me to go.  I'll stop at a Baskin-Robbins and then head to the hospital to visit my friend Margo.

Be back later.

I'm home and Margo is doing quite well.  She'll stay overnight and go home tomorrow.  She loved the chocolate malt shake...and it WAS the first thing that she'd had since yesterday! :-\ I'm sure that they'll get her something to eat in the morning.
