In other news:   SNOW!

Okay, only an inch, maybe even less, but a complete covering, and I have to get out there and clear things.  We might be able to use the leaf blower on this one, which would be great.

Snowblower is still in the shop but it's supposed to be done and returned to me just about now.  Well, we shall see, won't we?

I've long toyed with the idea of writing a one-person play on Gary Cooper.

I keep going back and forth on it, because I'm not sure if one could sustain a 60-75 minute play where half the dialogue would be "Yup" or "Nope".

Seriously: Any thoughts as to whether Coop would be a good subject for a one-person play?

This is something I'd really want to see.  I'd think the relationship with his wife Rocky could make for a play or film in itself, though the gift you have of creating a one-person play (rather than  regular play) out of a subject is why you're able to have success at that. 

I guess my tastes lead me to think of him more for Mr. Deeds Goes to Town and Meet John Doe more than what i suppose are the  more minimalist roles.  (And of course, his name being referenced and breathtakingly rhymed in "Puttin' On the Ritz.") Was there by any chance a contradiction between a complicated or normal person/life and a seemingly uncomplicated actor?  Or was it that what you saw is what he was?

My thought was to center it around the making of HIGH NOON.  His affair with Patricia Neal was winding down at that point, and his friend, Carl Foreman, one of the film's writers, had just been blacklisted. 

On the other hand, I could set it at the end of his life, as he looks back with regret at that period in his life.

But, once again, Coop was not that talkative.

Is Patricia Neal still well-known enough to do a play that's a two-hander featuring her and Gary Cooper?  (She seemed very warm and chatty while she was well, and could maybe fill in the talkativeness blanks?)

Three-month old Carter was dumped at Manhattan Animal Care Center today by his owner.  I'd adopt him in a second but after spending the past three months nursing sick kitties, I'm not ready to do it so soon.  The baby is healthy, but I'd bet you that within a week, if he's not adopted, he will be on the kill list for upper respiratory infection and/or conjunctivitis; that place is a breeding ground.

Hw could anyone dump this adorable baby?

I'd thought about making this a multiple-character piece to include Neal and a couple of other characters.  Certainly that would solve the problem of Coop's "Yup"s and "Nope"s.

There was a fifteen page section of part two that began to irritate me - I made lots of cuts and I think Muse Margaret will agree with all of them - probably a page to a page and a half all told.  Just too herky-jerky for me and I got antsy reading it.  I think the cuts are all wise and help move that section along much better.  I was quite surprised by my reaction, but remember I'm kind of reading this all together for the first time.  Other changes were just a few minor additions and then grammar stuff.  Then I wrote the extra material I was talking about - that came out to about two pages so I didn't actually lose any page count.

The same two main actors from Strawberry and Chocolate are back again, but in very different roles.

Muse Margaret could only do about a third of the pages we needed to do, as she had company coming.  So, we won't finish until late tomorrow afternoon.  But I did read her the additions of what she was looking for, this one additional thing, and she did love it, so that's good.  And she did agree, so far, with all the little trims I wanted to make.  More of those coming up - about three more.  But with the additions I made and some other added stuff, my guess is the page count will be exactly what it was.

Muse Margaret's guests left earlier than anticipated so we were able to go over the rest of the book, so now my part is done.  She was really happy with the additions and as happy as I was with the deletions, which really helped, but which I couldn't have known until I actually read the book from start to finish.  So, the final page count, which would have been 300 without the deletions, is exactly what it was, 296.  I'm so happy with this book.

Now, I'm on my computer instead of my tablet because I need to file Theater Artists Olympia's excise tax return.

I think tomorrow, I will take it out of the freezer and let it thaw for 24 hours in the frig.

It was one of the first restaurants down there, but they have no view of the water, except from their outside patio.

Not surprisingly, I've never heard of it.  What kind of a place is that?

And it's much too chilly to eat outside. :-\

It is actually ore of a sports bar or a tavern than it is a restaurant.

I think they are really stupid to start charging to park, but I guess they have already installed all of the parking meters.

I think it will really hurt their business.

I agree!  I think that that would hurt any business!

I don’t think any of the places down there is special enough to convince people to pay to park.

Well, except for the theater with all the recliners and the giant screens.

I imagine they must be getting complaints from the people in the condos and the apartments who can’t fing parking close to the entrances.
