Yes, a spider or a bug of some kind.  They go from the ultimate in evil with Pennywise, and then it turns into an oversize cockroach, or whatever.

Well, today's the start of a busy weekend for me.  My friend David invited me to come up to Seattle to visit.  We met ushering at the Washington Center a few years ago.  He and his wife moved to Seattle late last year.  The plans (in no particular order) are to go out to dinner where they show movies while you eat (or is it go to a movie where they also serve dinner?), go to the Mariners baseball game (he loves baseball and got a job ushering for them...and he also gets tickets!), and just tour around Seattle.

I'll go up this afternoon, stay the night and come back tomorrow after the game.  I'd also like to go to Silver Platters (http://www.silverplatters.com).  I haven't been there in a couple of years.

My friend called me last night to tell me that his neighbor's daughter was found dead lock in a bathroom of a Burger King. She died of a heroin overdose. I had met her a few times over the years but she is the first person I know who had died from an opioid OD. Very sad. She just turned 30. One hears about other people in other cities and when it's in your own backyard you realize how widespread the problem is.

DR TCB, after reading The Shining and 'Salem's Lot in the late 1970s, thanks to our DR Ginny, I was a huge Stephen King fan.  B the time I finished It, I was over him. Although I admire his imagination, opinions, and his politics, I found that his later books started out like gangbusters, dragged on, and then completely petered out, as though as editor threw up his hands and said, "so you don't want my opinion. Fine, you're the Successful Writer." I thought It had a fantastically creepy opening section and then went to hell.

Just finishing up The First Order, a thriller from Jeff Abbott. The guy writes page turners that work well on audio. This is the fifth in a series. I think I've only read the first one, Adrenaline, which I also enjoyed. I guess I'll have to fill in the rest at some point.

Interesting information in the notes today.....which reminded me of what I found out yesterday.  Someone asked me on BookFace about the choreographer for BYE BYE BIRDIE the movie musical, and I told them Onna White....a name she didn't know at all!

I told her Onna and her assistant Tommy Panko did BBB, The Music Man (movie & stage), and Oliver, etc.  Then someone was sure Tommy was in the movie White Christmas....which I didn't think was possible.

HOWEVER, in looking up things - I discovered that Onna White's husband divorced her and married Susan Luckey.....Zaneeta from the stage and screen versions of MUSIC MAN.....

This new key is so low, I keep thinking, is this the limited range the actor has? From an Equity call?  WTF?  The C above middle C is only touched.  In the old key, the actor had E-flats!  Now his range is a tenth: A below Middle-C to the C (briefly) above. It's the range of an untrained woman whose break lands on an A or B-flat.  The song will no longer sound bright.

This new key is so low, I keep thinking, is this the limited range the actor has? From an Equity call?  WTF?  The C above middle C is only touched.  In the old key, the actor had E-flats!  Now his range is a tenth: A below Middle-C to the C (briefly) above. It's the range of an untrained woman whose break lands on an A or B-flat.  The song will no longer sound bright.

Sounds like he's from the Guy Haines Vocal Conservatory.

I gave up on Mr. King after his books began to regularly reach 800 or 900 pages.  The books I fell in love with, save for The Stand, which he wanted LONGER than the long that was published, were all reasonable page counts and paced beautifully.  The last real fiction book I read before I began writing fiction and stopped reading fiction was by Mr. King - Dreamcatcher, which I thought was one of the worst books I'd ever read, almost a parody of a Stephen King book.  I do know people thought 11/22/63 was a return to form, but the page count was just as huge as ever.

In the supporting cast is Charles Laughton, who plays a key role in Sailor and Fiddler, Herman Wouk's memoir written around the time he turned 100. I started listening to it this morning. It's a short book, but it's fascinating, and his storytelling skills have distilled to a focus that's just about perfect.

Watching an odd series called Five Fables based on some poems of Seamus Heaney that were, in turn, based on Aesop's Fables.

Each tale is animated but the story framed with interviews with Heaney, the producers, the composer, the animators and Billy Connolly, who narrates each story. Heaney's poetry is wonderful, but the interviews are surprisingly terrific. This was one of Heaney's last projects before he died, and he's a joy to listen to.

Back from a lovely dinner with Kay and Michael, and then we sat together and watched Dial 'M'.  We had about half a house and they were a great, great audience.  The play got more laughs tonight than ever, because the actors with those laughs timed them just right - and the laughs really help the play.  The running time is always the same - WITH the two intermission it's 119 minutes.  It literally never varies by more than a few seconds.  Kay loved it, as did Michael, and even I liked it tonight because everyone was on their A game, which of course is what it should always be but sometimes isn't.
