Well, you've read the notes, the notes were new notes in the old hand, and now it is time for you to post until the old cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MONDAIN!
-
First post after BK.
-
BK, I realize that today is not Wednesday, but what exactly are the opticals in a film?
-
Opticals are things like dissolves, fade outs and ins, anything that's not original production photography - main titles, special effect shots, that sort of thing.

Good morning to all

BK:
Not a big deal, but I think that WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS was released before BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. On the other hand, perhaps REASONABLE DOUBT was made first, but released 2nd.
I remember this because, when I first met Ida Lupino and Howard Duff, WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS had just been released.

Hello
-
It has warmed up considerably and the snow had melted to large degree, what a difference a day makes
-
T.O.D.
Plenty of shows recorded to watch this weekend.
-
Off to start my day

Vibes for all

Getting super excited about tomorrow's Grand Hotel adventure
-
Good morning, all!

Good morning, all.

I have a souvenir programme for that Weissler Babes In Toyland. I also knew an actor in it, C.A. Hutton, who had told me 30 years ago, when I was working on the Houston Grand Opera production, about the Weissler disco version. Here's the Houston set for Act one, Scene One. Contrary Mary is the patchwork dress sown in the righthand corner.
-
And here's Leigh Merrill in the actual dress.
-
This morning around 9:30 I will take Annabelle for her blood work. She and Thatch this morning completely ignored their Fancy Feast salmon-shrimp paté. I guess I'll be donating those cans to some rescue group.
-
Before we head out, I need to make the bed, pick up every thing Annabelle has pushed off a ledge, empty the litter, and hopefully finish a page ofr the Violin A part to "The Sun Has Got His Hat On."
-
Getting super excited about tomorrow's Grand Hotel adventure
I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Will you please pick up a program for me?
-
Vibes for Annabelle.
Continued getting the book vibes for MR BK.
-
They are forecasting 3-6 inches of ice and snow for us starting tonight....at least they were yesterday....I don't know what they're saying today.....
-
Annabelle pissed and moaned all the way down and back on the bus. They will call me in a day or two with the results of the blood work. I've booked her dental work for April 10.

Friday morning greetings! Richard and I will grocery shop today, along with everyone else anticipating a snowy day tomorrow. Tonight we're using some friends' tickets to Middletown Lyric Theatre's Blues in the Night. Anita and her husband are subscribers and have to be out of town this weekend, so we're going in their place.
-
DR George, enjoy the show tonight.
-
Nice photos DR elmore.
-
I quickly crashed last night and barely read 1 chapter. This morning my ebook arrived 😊
I still plan to read the hardcover during the day as a treat to myself.

Dr Ginny, here are Jim Martin's daughter and her husband Tim at last night's opening of Frozen. Tim was the director's assistant. She looks so much like her father.
-
Still in a state of being E & T just missing a few pages of posts here and there.
(Not that it's likely, but if I missed anything that anyone thought I'd answer, could you PM me or email me? I'm trying to ketchup but it's been out of order for some reason.)
-
Not to get political, really, just a philosophical thought about non-disclosure agreements. it's sounding to me that the Trump non-disclosure agreements interviews are people who hedged their bets that their stories might have been totally worthless if he hadn't been elected, so they took what they could at the time. This could be interesting for the future of all contracts, if someone can just void a contract any time the thing they're selling is worth more a few years later.

Yes, she has his eyes.
In other local theatre news, I've just made arrangements to go to Ron Fetzer's memorial service with my friend Margie, who knew him from her high school days. Neither of our husbands knew him well, she didn't want to go alone, and I'd been thinking of going myself. She was grateful when I offered to drive, because she and her husband are now a one-car couple and she hates to leave Brian without transportation.
-
I am glad you have a friend to go with. May the service give you comfort.
-

Actually, Margie called ME. I probably wouldn't have taken the initiative, but it seems like the right thing to do. This is someone I knew a long time ago, but reconnected with during the recent 50th anniversary at the local Miami University campus.
Here we are after filming 90 minutes of video footage about the auditorium. Ron is "center stage":

Nice photo Ginny.

I just looked at Craig's work calendar. Spring break, including 2 week ends, was reduced from 10 days to 4 days.
-
The students in his school might not have been planning vacations, however, I suspect many of them had to request time off from work to be home. I hope I am wrong and money wasn't lost due to this new system.
-
I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep.
-
Amazon hardcover delivery date was changed to next Wednesday - I cancelled and they refunded money they should not have taken until it was actually shipped. Publisher books (hopefully BOTH) are out for delivery and will hopefully arrive soon.
-
Druxy, I know the order of release of the two Lang films - were you confused by something I wrote?
-
DR George, enjoy the show tonight.
Thanks, Jane. I've heard very good things about the show, so I'm excited to see it.
-
Good afternoon.
-
I have today off, so I enjoyed my hike up the mountain.
-
I would enjoy a hike up a mountain. It has been awhile so I might be out of shape and not enjoy it as much as I should ;)
-

I felt so bad for you looking at that snow storm. We luckily missed it completely. There are still huge 5 feet mounds of snow everywhere. But the roads are completely clear. I cannot deal with anymore snow so I hope that we have seen the last of it. Although unfortunately it will still probably be another month of looking at it on the lawns.
-
Back from picking up the book package and some lunch.
-
Hardcover looks fine. But there's a little problem with it, not anything anyone will really notice I don't think so I did go ahead and put in the order. Then I've spent the last hour on the phone with the publisher and they'll fix the problem but that means after this order is shipped we go through the entire submission process again - it's clearly their fault as the PDF we sent of the interior is perfect. Someone on their end somehow altered it slightly, again I don't think any reader will even be aware of it, but since a PDF cannot be altered something went wrong, clearly. I didn't catch it in the galley I approved because of the galley itself, which had some marks in it I've never seen in a galley, so I just assumed it would all be fine. This one's been endlessly crazy and except for the one great gal I deal with on orders, no one has communicated with me at all - this may be my final time with them - too many other options.
-
I wonder if Charles Dickens had these same problems MR BK?
-
Good
morning afternoon evening, all.
-
Back from the Apple, and on my way out the door to this LES MIS I simply cannot mis (see what I did there?), as much as I'd like to, at least tonight. But it's my only chance, and I must support these friends.
-
Someone made strawberry cheesecake ice cream and brought it to work today.
Insert very happy face.
-
Tomorrow, back into the city for GRAND HOTEL.
We must arrange to meet. Actually, it's very simple. After the show and the talkback, DR vixmom and I, and my housemates, should proceed to the same corridor as last year, on audience right, where we will meet DR Elmore.
-
We'll be in the Mezzanine, Row D, which is four rows behind the Grand Tier.
-
If it were just me, I'd take the train, but my party would prefer the car and less schlepping up and down from Grand Central. So I still have to figure out where we're parking and hopefully get a good coupon.
-
For now, I had better sign off and get a little food into my person, along with some coffee, lest I snore throughout the MIS.

Not my favorite, but it does sound really good...especially that it's home made!

Evening again.
Another day has passed me by, although it was a shrimp and grits day with caramel cake for dessert.
The place was very busy....the line took forever and we had to sit at a table in the very back of the building. I sat in a chair and it promptly collapsed backward. I sat on the floor feeling very undignified. I got up, repositioned the chair and found out it was simply unfit for human occupancy. The management was beside itself, but I was unhurt and was given a new sturdy chair.
The food was great.
Spent this aftenoon playing SkipBo with my mom and my aunt.
Time for chow, I guess. It will be creamed beef on toast tonight.
-
Hello, everyone--and that includes you, DR Ron!
-
I'm enjoying your tales of your retirement in what I imagine is a sleepy Southern town.
-
Your glider sounds great. At first I thought you were talking about a drone-like flying thing. But I see I was mistaken, and you've purchased a comfortable reading chair. Yes! Many you spend many comfortable and pleasurable hours in it.
-
Congrats to BK on the new books!

Ditto!

Travel vibes for all attending GRAND HOTEL tomorrow.
-
And may you all have a grand time, as well.

I saw my massage therapist, Erik, today about my troublesome right arm, then shopped at my favorite food store. No croissants today, but lots of other favorites.
-
Vibes to all.
TTFN.

Oh, my goodness, Ron! :o Did the management comp any of your meal for your undignification and to mitigate a situation that could've physically damaged you??
-

They were both released the same year, but I thought WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS was released first. No big deal either way.

DR Ron I would appreciate a photo of the caramel cake.

That's what I thought, too! :D
-
And now, I must be off to the theater. I'm sure that it'll be a good show. I'll be back late, and then I need to go to bed very quickly because I'm taking my union's treasury training in Seattle tomorrow and I'll need to leave before 8:00! I hate that! :P But I'll do it.
Be back later!

While the City Sleeps DID come out first. I'm trying to understand why you're belaboring that point. I don't even mention which came out when, merely that Beyond a Reasonable Doubt was his final American film. While the city Sleeps opened in May of 1956 and Beyond a Reasonable Doubt opened in September of that year.
-
Back.
What I don't do for my friends. Lordy.
-
Hello!
-
No rain in San Francisco today.
-
I took the bay cruise, which I've done before and went to the top of Coit Tower, which I haven't done before.
-
Great views from the Tower.
-
One more

-
TLC is showing old episodes of Trading Spaces, with lots of promotion of the updated episodes, which begin April 7th.
-
Wish I could have seen Grand Hotel with the HHW gang!

I haven't done either.
-
Since I never had time to read today I have some catching up to do.
-
DR Ron can now sit in his comfy glider chair, while activating his glider plane and playing with his sugar glider pet marsupial.
-
I hope TCB and Nicky are both feeling chipper.
-
And Ron has no aches or pains from his faulty chair fall.

I watched SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. I'd never seen it.
-
Have a good weekend, everyone.
Good night.
-
Good evening.
-
Page 4? At 10:30 on a Saturday night? Really?
-
Damn! That could have been three posts!
-
And that could have been two posts.
-
I am going down hill fast.
-
Today was an okay day.
-
It did snow his morning in parts of the N.W. (that’s Northwest).
-
Unfortunately, not at my house.
-
We settled for a nice refreshing rain storm.
-
Okay, maybe it wasn’t such a nice day.
-
Anyway, it did clear up enough to run some errands.
-
I stopped at Safeway to pick up some coffee creamer.
-
I bought several things that were not a high priority, but totally forgot the coffee creamer.
-
Oh well, I can go back tomorrow.
-
Safeway had some of their freshly-made guacamole.
-
Oh, and the big, huge rainstorm? Today was about eighty-five degrees.
-
Had a little movie night with dear occasional reader Leslie and her daughter - Silence of the Lambs - just saw it a few weeks ago, but the daughter hadn't and wanted to so we did - I never tire of it - same with Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby - can watch ad nauseum.
-
Page four? Really?
-
Page five? Really?
-
So, I went by the chips aisle, grabbed a bag of chips, and stuck them by my feet on my scooter.
-
By the time I got to the check-out, the chips had fallen off the scooter somewhere in the store.
-
I was too embarrassed to go looking for them, so i just paid for the rest of the stuff and left the store.
-
Luckily, I had to stop and pick up a prescription at Rite Aid, so I bought a bag of chips there.
-
Otherwise, I would have been eating the guacamole with a spoon.
-
Then I swung by A & W and picked up their cod and chips.
-
It was okay, but I have certainly had better (and larger) pieces of fish.
-
But, at least, I didn’t have to cook dinner.
-
Tomorrow, I am going to my friend’s, Sharry and Micheal, house for dinner.
-
The former Artistic Director of Lakewood Playhouse, and his wife, have moved back to the area.
-
This is their unofficial “Welcome Home” dinner.
-
John, the former A.D., directed me in several shows, but best of all, he directed Sharry and me in THE LION IN WINTER.
-
It will be nice to catch up. They moved away almost twenty years ago.
-
Sharry is making a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Yum!
-
So, I won’t be the only Tom at dinner!
-
Have fun tomorrow night and say hi from us.
-
DR Tom you need a shopping list app on your phone.
