Well, you've read the notes, the notes were one for the books, and now it is time for you to post until the one for the books cows come home.

Off to see the day.

I like that expression!  It almost seems like you're saying you're off to seize the day, but it's accepting that the say may just want to be seen and not seized.

BK - Wow, that situation with the lead actor sound tough, but someone must think he's worth it. 

Regarding just the transportation, this came up on a show I was involved with:  If the production has someone involved with a guest room who'd get a kick out of bragging rights of having the lead actor stay with them,  the production may find it easier to find a place for him to stay nearby rather than have the stage manager have to constantly deal with transportation every day. 
Title: Re: ONE FOR THE BOOKS
Post by: FJL on September 20, 2019, 06:24:00 AM
Or of course if the production has the means to do it, rent him a car, or a small apartment that's nearby or reachable by a cheap cab ride or him being picked up.

(This is taking into account that someone must have really felt having this leading man was worth a little effort.)

I got home from Cafe Frida around 10:15 and I was in bed by 10:30. Because I had had two margaritas, I wasn't sure what I could take, so I ended up taking a Tizanidine and a Tylenol with codeine, told the cats, I hope I see you tomorrow, and went to bed.

There were seven of us for dinner, which was excellent.  My friends John Bell and Michael Gildin - Joshie's roommate - leave on Sunday for Oklahoma City.  John, who's supervising the musical side of the tour of Fiddler on the Roof in its last Broadway revival will be putting Michael in as conductor with two new musicians. My Guys & Dolls/How To Succeed . . . colleague Jason just got back from seeing family in Oregon(?), and it was nice to see him.  He was also kind enough to see an inebriated gimp to his front door when we disbanded.

They even brought me a delicious chocolate birthday cake, and John took the uneaten remainder for his rehearsal today.  I didn't want to bring it home with me.  While they sang Happy Birthday to me, I had to wear the Big Sombrero.  Rob Berman would not let the moment pass.

For some reason I cannot post this photo.

T.O.D.

No idea what we will watch tonight or this weekend, but last night we watched Fritz Lang's MINISTRY OF FEAR with Ray Milland.

Not that great, but the cast included 2 character actors I used to know: Carl Esmond and Alan Napier.

Wow, Mr. Clown Beanie Man With the Blonde Beatle Wig definitely have mental issues.  I expect your throat clearing was to him like fingernails on a chalk board.

There is a man at the gym that drives us crazy.  Keith calls him the 1-1-3 man because that is what he shouts while doing exercises.  When I am on the end treadmill that I like the guy walks past me, not only in super slow speed but so close it is as if he is walking up to me.  It is extremely distracting plus he has they painful expression on his face while he slowly blows out air.  I have done arm stretches to distract him from getting so close to me but.  You would think arms going in & out at a fast space would get him to move to avoid being hit.  Nope, he just keeps coming.   >:(  ;D  I know, I should be tolerant & glad I am not him.

They've scheduled a table reading a week from now so the artistic directors can assess the situation - it was their call, they must deal with it, even if they like what they hear.  I think this person had badgered them for a long time about letting him do the play and they finally said okay - there are many reasons for that, including he reviews shows there.

Jane, in answer to you question last night, Brian says he'll come another time to help me clean, but if he finds a job in his new area I don't think it'll happen. Believe me, I've been trying to think of a way for it to be viable for him to make the drive down here, but it's just too long a drive.
Title: Re: ONE FOR THE BOOKS
Post by: Jeanne on September 20, 2019, 03:35:18 PM
He's gotten done a lot of the doesn't-need-to-be-cleaned-often tasks, so that's good. So many of today's cleaning people are really picky and turn their noses up at anything they don't want to do. Brian's not that way. The apartment's in better shape now and I could bring in a more conventional sort of cleaner. But I haven't a lot of patience these days with bad attitudes. And I'm spoiled because Brian was so good!

What a kooky day.  Marshall Harvey happened to be in the nabe, so I joined him at Corky's for my usual sandwich.  That was fun.  Had to be here for a delivery, which came at three-thirty, so never got to the mail place because Jesus arrived and is still here doing his thing.

They've scheduled a table reading a week from now so the artistic directors can assess the situation - it was their call, they must deal with it, even if they like what they hear.  I think this person had badgered them for a long time about letting him do the play and they finally said okay - there are many reasons for that, including he reviews shows there.

He reviews shows, sounds like they were held hostage.

Jane, in answer to you question last night, Brian says he'll come another time to help me clean, but if he finds a job in his new area I don't think it'll happen. Believe me, I've been trying to think of a way for it to be viable for him to make the drive down here, but it's just too long a drive.

Vibes he makes it down one more time.
Title: Re: ONE FOR THE BOOKS
Post by: Jane on September 20, 2019, 05:51:07 PM
He's gotten done a lot of the doesn't-need-to-be-cleaned-often tasks, so that's good. So many of today's cleaning people are really picky and turn their noses up at anything they don't want to do. Brian's not that way. The apartment's in better shape now and I could bring in a more conventional sort of cleaner. But I haven't a lot of patience these days with bad attitudes. And I'm spoiled because Brian was so good!

I know what you mean.

Tonight, Tracy and I are going to see CALENDAR GIRLS at the Tacoma Little Theatre.  This is the first production of their 101st Season.  I have several friends in the production; including Jane, George, and my friend, Sharry.  I am not sure that I will make it home before midnight.

I hope you love it.

When I got to work, I saw that last night’s storm swept scaffolding off the neighboring building across the street into parish hall of my friend Gail’s church. Three people at a bus stand were apparently injured. Not a pretty scene.

Oh no, not good.  Did you have flooding there?  I know other others of Texas did.

DR George, we don't expect, except in York, to be doing the usual tourist activities.  That will likely mean we won't be where there are key chains.  Please, if you want something from a particular area let me know otherwise there might not be a a key chain this trip.

I saw that at Paper Mill in New Jersey a little over a year ago.  I didn't realize Marvin Hamlisch had been involved, and that's interesting that Donna McKechnie had a huge show stopper that I thought must have been written around her talent.  I admire Stefanie Powers a great deal, but I couldn't imagine how she could have done this number eight times a week.  I found it amazing thatDonna McKechnie would have been able to do it eight times a week if it had moved to a full run. 

Georgia Engel's character  was definitely the star of the show.  I wonder if they ever did a filming of the show.
