George, are you going to give us a review of MISS SAIGON?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Safe Travel Vibes, DR JohnG! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vibes for DR GINNY and her upcoming procedure.....
Oh my - I am horrified by the MY FAIR LADY descriptions that DR ELMORE and DR TCB have posted......
And don't get me started on choreographers.....I think Dance Teachers make terrible choreographers because they are all about steps and NOTHING about show and context.....UGH.
Yvonne DeCarlo is a worthy subject DR DRUXY!
Except that the flight has just been canceled.
I now fly out at 2:15 p.m.
Nothing more irritating than canceled flights. Every time this happens to me, I cancel the flight, demand my money back, and get a taxi back to Manhattan. I'd rather rebook than sit for six hours or more with nothing to do.
Perfect timing for Halloween!
I'm pleased to announce that the audio edition of my one-woman play, YVONNE DE CARLO, is now available for audio download via audible.com, Amazon and iTunes.
Kathleen Godwin, who previously did my audios of Carole Lombard and Ida Lupino, is magnificent as the sultry actress who is probably best remembered as "Lilly Munster," but also co-starred in many Westerns, swashbucklers and, of course, Cecil B. De Mille's THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
I'm rather proud of this one. It turned out quite well. I know you'll enjoy it.

If you read/listen to the play, the interviewer she's referring to at the start was me. What she says happened, really happened.
Travel vibes for DR John G!
Home from therapy, which once again dragged out all the Halloween stops. Gurjeet has this child-like love for Halloween, and ever since I began seeing him in the 1990s, the day has been special, with decorations, the staff in costume, and today even Shelby, his labradoodle, was in costume. The decor, both inside and outside, was amazing.
I must also say that it was somewhat amusing to sit there with your temporary bandage on, in the company of other people with the same bandage on various spots of their face or head, all reading books or their phones, as in an assembly line. My crowd was all of "senior" age. As the doc put it, this is our reward for having gotten those childhood sunburns back when no one knew any better! Especially for us fair-complexioned types.
I now fly out at 2:15 p.m.
I may have seen the absolute, rock bottom, nadir production of My Fair Lady at the Ohio Light Opera. It had dreadful choreography by the woman who was then the "choreographer," and I use that term very lightly. She had no sense of invention, one set of prancing steps, and you saw them in every production. They pranced all during the song "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," so when they got to the dance music, it was cut. After "The Rain In Spain," Mrs Pierce and the servants are supposedly awakened by the romping because she asks Higgins if he had heard the racket. In the OLO production, the idiot director brought them on to observe the romping, so the line made no sense. The Act Two curtain fell on Liza and Higgins in a big hot kiss. The atrocities go on and on . . .
Perfect timing for Halloween!

DR George thanks for your evening report and photos.
Not a single home game was one in this World Series :o
There is now a new California fire in San Bernardino :(

Jane, I think you mean, "won" not "one." ;)
I found out today that the AirBnB where I am staying for the first three days is owned by people who run a Mexican restaurant down the street from their house. Because I don’t know when I will get there, I’m to go to restaurant. Guess I’m having dinner there, too. Like I need to go to Chicago for Mexican food. What are the odds?

Congrats, Druxy! I'm curious...do you have her reminiscing about her time in Follies?
We have a new - to me - pizza place in my neighborhood, and it is tremendous!

DR elmore's PT office looks like a fun place to be on Halloween.

They are wonderful people. I'm very fond of them.
Let us please forego this back-and-forth and forth-and-back on this old business. We get it, truly.
Talk about really scary stuff, like my Halloween get-up as an Old Jew - truly frightening and horrifying, and when I answer the door I will be performing selections from my Bar Mitzvah, which will be enough to scare anyone off.

We do get it.
Luis, one of the receptionists at physical therapy, posted this shot of him and some young ladies outside the building. I think one of them may be his wife. The young lady next to Luis on his right is another receptionist.
You can see bits of today's outside decor.

Please don't MeToo me ever on this, since I mean this in the most platonic way :) - but that this was your first thought is one of the reasons that you are one of the most amazing minds in the existence of the world! I'm very ashamed to admit it hadn't occurred to me until you said it.
If I think of Elaine Paige first as Carlotta, will they take away my gay card, whatever that is? and whoever "they" are?
Progress continues on the Getty fire. The Mandatory Evacuation Area is now much smaller, which is incredible progress when you consider how low the dew point is. (The dew point is the temperature at which water condenses.) Typically, our dew points are in the seventies. Today it reached 1 degree, which is the lowest I've ever seen it. Incredibly dry. I don't remember it ever being this dry.

DR Jeanne have you ever eaten at Follow Your Heart in Canoga Park?
We were concerned about George last night as he had gone to Seattle & said he would post in the early morning.

No, but only because Canoga Park's rather a hike from here. I'm familar with the company and their products, though.

Thanks. I was asked if their food is good.
The NYC Animal Care Centers are dressing up the adoptable dogs for Halloween today/
Speaking of storming off. Has anyone done the end of "A Doll House' where Nora slams the door, but then has to come back because she forgot something?
Glad FJL had his i scream and is back.
Do you still post on ATC? There are times ryhog gets into a melee and I've wondered if it's you.
So are we've had about twelve kids.
Enjoyed a small walk around the neighborhood, which is a mix of Polish, Ukrainian and Mexican immigrants. Many stores and restaurants that I’ll want to check out.
It’s night, though, and there is ice on the sidewalks from the snow, some of which melted as it fell.
Number of trick and treaters : 0
Number of fun size candies eaten in this house 4,673

I don't know if anyone's interested, but my Annabelle & Thatch tale from July, 2018, might make a good Halloween read.

All this Russian music makes me want to change clothes so I can be Russian dressing. We don't allow groaning here at haineshisway.com.

Did you know that when you need to use the facilities that you change nationalities? When you're on your way to the bathroom, you're a Russian, and when you get there, European!
:))
When did the Ukraine start being called the “you-crane?”
I decided to stay up and maybe be able to be so exhausted that I;ll sleep on the plane.
See you all in a few days in case I can't post from then hotel.

I want to know why it's The Ukraine. :-\

At the same time pro football players started calling it THE Ohio State University!
