Much success for DR MICHAEL and his new play!
Thank you DR ELMORE.
DR JANE I am feeling good today.....no chemo/radiation until Monday. Nice weather, too......
You know I've told my Robert Weede Most Happy Fella story many times here and elsewhere - you want to see why it was the greatest performance I've ever seen and remains so to this day? Watch. Love. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icFtTVaJsPk
Back from errands. This morning I need to finish "Curse Those Pirates!" and proceed to another number.
Jane, a taste of paradise remembered:

DR TCB, Judi Dench was once cast as Regan in a production of King Lear. After the play opened, she asked to be replaced because she disliked the character so much. I can understand your not wanting to be in Misery.
Today, I need to print some more programs for tonight's final performance of 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, then I have to help my sister move (it's definitely a multi-day process so it won't all happen today), then I'm house managing (selling tickets and concessions, giving the curtain speech) for tonight's 5LEaQ. They're having a cast party afterward, so I'll probably go for a bit, then I'll come home and go to sleep.
I recently finished a new play and in talks right now for a production in Fort Lauderdale. Here is some info:
Heroes: Fighting in the AIDS Trenches is the umbrealla title for two one act plays. "Ruth: The Cemetery Angel" and "Vito: Standing On His Shoulders". The plays are monlogues about two extraodinary people who fought the AIDS Crisis during the 80's in the own unique ways.
"Ruth: The Cemetery Angel" tells the story of Ruth Coker Burks who gave a home and eventually a final resting place in her family's cemetery to dozens of young men who would have died alone when their families rejected them.
"Vito: Standing On His Shoulders" is about Vito Russo who was the author of the seminal book, "The Celluloid Closet" about how homosexuals were depicted in Hollywood movies. More importantly, however, he was a gay and AIDS activist and a founding member of GLAAD and ACT UP. His friends included Larry Kramer, Bette Midler, and Lily Tomlin. He was a featured participant in the Academy Award winning documentary: "Common Threads: Tales From the Quilt".
I am thirty posts away from a mini-milestone.
My fitbit tells me I slept 5 hours and 11 minutes last night. A good night's sleep.
Saturday morning greetings! Fr. Richard is the substitute priest at Dayton's Christ Our Hope this weekend, so he has to do a 5pm service today and a morning service tomorrow. My plan is to go with him tomorrow, unless my stomach feels then like it did this morning :P

Our first review is out: http://www.stagescenela.com/2017/07/dial-m-for-murder/
It's a WOW. I disagree with his only caveat, as I like that actor's performance - he's right about the age difference, though, but I had to use a company member and he was the only choice - but his performance is wonderful and, as the critic writes, weird, which is what I like about it. I really do think the caveat is the age, though, if I'm reading that part right.
I stopped at Ben Dew's. It is a great dining spot (coffee shop) for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I went for the chili and cheese and onion omelet.
It is hard to imagine that she was only 47 years old when she died.
I, also, didn't know that her body had been moved from New York to Los Angeles.
