When you do the production in the fall, will you still have actors doubling on roles, or will you expand the cast at that time?

I grew up loving my mom's macaroni and cheese, which was basically a Betty Crocker recipe (the notes I got from her years ago are filed someplace) with the addition of a can of cooked tomatoes (I forget which variety, but that's also in the notes) stirred in.  I consequently grew up in the belief that that's how macaroni was always prepared, because it was years before I had anyone else's, or ate it out anywhere except in a cafeteria line or Howard Johnson's or someplace like that...and I always found those a little "plain" without the tomatoes!

In later years I finally discovered multi-cheese and other varieties, most of which have been delicious beyond words (I could eat a pound of it right now), but I'm sorry to say I haven't kept track of where I had them or who created them.

The mac-n-cheese I had at The Federal about a year ago was very gourmet mac-n-cheese with bits of bacon in it. And everything is better with bacon. The dish was extremely rich and made me feel like I had eaten enough grams of fat to last me a week, but it was delicious.

My first was my mother's macaroni (and cheese) ade from scratch.  Boiled noodles, then a mixture of eggs, milk and cheese are stirred into the noodles (maybe butter, too).  Then it's baked.

It's yummilicious and the best I've ever had.

A close second was a macaroni and cheese made with smoked gouda cheese.  Oh my!  It was tasty beyond belief!!!

Torrential rain and wind on the way there......getting my imaging done....power goes out.....power stays out.....

Go upstairs in the dark to my doctor's office.....waiting for 45 minutes....no power.....appointments will need to be rescheduled....they will call.  Doctor is only in that office on Tuesday.....I wanted to ask what additional chemo he was planning.  I can't audition for the Sept. show if I am going to get  INCREASED chemo or infusion....

No power downstairs.....will have to add an extra day of radiation to my schedule - which means I will need more chemo pills....

Put on a happy face

Take of the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
You decided to smile

Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look
Slap on a happy grin

And spread sunshine all over the place
And put on a happy face

I am now, officially, a Daughter of the American Revolution.  My sister's genealogy led to Revolutionary patriots on both our father's and mother's sides and she joined DAR 3 years ago.  My friend Tina put me in touch with the local chapter, whose registrar says my application was a "piece of cake" compared to some she sees.

Does this mean we have to kiss your ring?

I have two (count 'em) patriots -- researched at great length by a great-aunt, and I have her file and her resulting membership card.

Thanks, DR ChasSmith!  My sister's qualification was expedited by our aunt's membership and mine was very simple.

Had a really good rehearsal with Kay and John - she's really starting to understand what's necessary for a club act in terms of energy and presenting yourself and your personality - it really began to come to life - it's a really good act.  And the opening number is KILLER great - I had an idea for it, she loved the idea, and Boswell took my arrangement idea and worked it out perfectly.  And I made one suggestion for the penultimate number that Kay understood and latched onto immediately, so we're doing that.

These Bruckner symphonies are densely packed, I'll say that.  There's some wonderful music here - Mahler he isn't but I also think these will take a few listenings to really let the music sink in.  I'll finish this set, then listen to the other two complete sets and by that time I'll have a fair notion - but it's excellent listening.

I have finished the densely packed Bruckner and will later move on to the Gunter Wand set, which is now fully uploaded.  Very curious to hear the different performance.  Meanwhile I'm listening to a really good performance of the Khachaturian piano concerto - I have a bunch of recordings and some of those performances are great but in sound that is very lacking.  But this one, on Decca Eloquence (cheap as dirt) performed by Alicia de Larrocha and conductor Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos has the best sound of any of 'em, although the SACD hybrid of the Peter Katin sounds great - but only the SACD layer - the CD layer of that disc is sub-standard and has wow and flutter - why they wouldn't just use the SACD layer which has none of those issues is anyone's guess.  But for a low-budget performance this Eloquence version cannot be beat and it has the Rachmaninov third piano concerto as a disc mate - same pianist but with Previn conducting.  I'm a happy Khachaturian right now.

Listening to Brahms, another complete cycle, this one conducted by Istvan Kertesz - interestingly Decca Eloquence has issued four different sets  of these at dirt cheap prices.  So far I'm loving this new set - like Kubelik, Kertesz makes me hear the music in a different way - and this set sounds even better than the Kubelik, which I still love.  The other set on Eloquence that I have but was defective so I returned it is conducted by Ernest Ansermet - what I could hear of it was excellent, too, and each of these, for me, are preferable to Ormandy.

I have moved on to Martinu - I first played the CDs I had here from years ago and just didn't respond at all and nuked them right out of iTunes, even though it was a highly touted set on Supraphon.  But then I got a couple of those Karel Ancerl discs and they had some Martinu and it was a whole different ballgame.  So I took a chance on a set of the complete symphonies - well what a difference a conductor and sound makes - like the Brahms, it's like hearing the music for the very first time - great stuff.  I'm happy about this because as with Sibelius, I share a birthday with this guy.  Some of it sounds like movie music.

Well, the interviews at work went well.  We had four interviews throughout the day and we have two strong candidates...including the internal candidate.

I have moved on to Martinu - I first played the CDs I had here from years ago and just didn't respond at all and nuked them right out of iTunes, even though it was a highly touted set on Supraphon.  But then I got a couple of those Karel Ancerl discs and they had some Martinu and it was a whole different ballgame.  So I took a chance on a set of the complete symphonies - well what a difference a conductor and sound makes - like the Brahms, it's like hearing the music for the very first time - great stuff.  I'm happy about this because as with Sibelius, I share a birthday with this guy.  Some of it sounds like movie music.


I thought BK had moved on to martinis.

I suppose I should get her a cd or DVD of the show so she can familiarize herself with it.  She is so deaf now I do nit know if she will be able to follow the show otherwise

I forgot to ask... Ant recommendations on versions  DRs?

What about a copy of the script?  Then she could really understand the show.  I hope you all enjoy it!  I love ALNM!


I think that is a wonderful idea.

After work, I went to the TAO board meeting, and then the cast of Hairspray met and rehearsed with the full band of 11 instruments.  We got through most of the score.  It was nice to hear the band.

After rehearsal, I got a Fiesta Taco Salad at Taco Bell for dinner.  It was quite tasty.

After that, I did some last minute shopping for a tie for Harriman F. Spritzer (the largest of my roles in Hairspray).  I found a nice, conservative-looking zipper tie.

The best version of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC is the Sally Ann Howes version.  I don't know if you can buy a legal copy.  I don't think it has ever been available from PBS.

It's a tie that literally has a zipper in it so that you don't have to actually tie the knot.  It's not a clip-on.  It looks just like a reglar tie and won't fall off.  They're great!
