Well, you've read the notes, the notes were 110% and began their journey to infinity and beyond, and now it is time for you to post until the 110% to infinity and beyond cows come home.

Scallops, shrimp, and salmon, skewered and charbroiled, served on a bed of rice.
Ordered it years ago, loved it, and never forgot how delicious it was.

Also loved the red leather booths.
I hope they’re still there.
Nothing comes close to the decor and atmosphere of those classic old time Hollywood/L.A. restaurants.
Nothing original or unique in today’s restaurants.

Yesterday was too crazy, but thatnk God it's over. I had to clean the TV and its environs for the new one Ann and Jen are bringing me today. It was a dusty and dirty mess but my small space is cluttered and annoying until this project is finished.

At 5:30, when I considered myself finished for the day, I checked my cell phone for the first time since 8:30 when I made the bed. There was a text from my friend Chris about meeting him and our friend George for brunch. I had completely forgotten about it.

We’re in solid summer weather now. For us, that means high 80s and a few low 90s here and there.

While here at HHW, it’s 110% in the shade!

And I am rebooted and back! It's been a sitty morning after a night of weird dreams. Today I officially run out of money. Snce I've had no income since Sept. 5, 2021 except for my Social Security and pension, I have exhausted my savings and maxed out my credit card. Friday was supposedto be the closing of the Ohio property, but it's on hold because of the City of Middletown and I honestly believe the sale will fall through. I've finally had contacct with Indiana University, but there's still no contract and no money.

I'm having a hard time dealing with that and my envy of friends who are working. Not only does my commy computer need a reboot but so does my life, and I'm starting to worry it won't happen. I hate to be a downer, but today is really a lousy day.

DR singdaw the ending is the one that's used in the movie when it's shown on television.  First Wadsworth the butler does a recap of the evening....and then another character is revealed to be an FBI agent and accuses EVERYONE else of at least one murder that has occurred during the show....

No.  I respectfully (but completely) disagree.  I hope she loses biggly.  If she wins, that could play into the anti-abortion people who claim that "life begins at conception."  I have no direct stakes in the argument, but I've read several articles where Jews argue that the right to an abortion is a mandate of their religion.  Here's one article:

I’ve never heard you sing Sadie, Sadie before and neither did Fanny, so point taken.

Back from ninety minutes in storage - couldn't find the art, even though it's there somewhere, just not reachable. But I did bring home some more of my acting scripts, so those will go up, including two Donny and Marie scripts. I also brought home a ton of OOP Varese CDs, so you'll want to check back in, perks-wise, as I'll start putting those up right away. Also, found a few of the really rare original two-CD version of our Promises, Promises release. It not only has the remix, of course, but also the newly remastered original album that has all the pitch problems, but sounding better than it ever has before. It sold out in two days, I think, and then we reissued it with JUST the remix. That's already up.

Billie Burke and Rochester are just perfect in Topper Returns.

At one point when the ghost scares Rochester, he talks about going back to work for Mr. Benny.

Of course, some of the humor isn’t politically correct by today’s standards. But it’s still a funny sequel.

I, for one, would love to read your treatise on apple polishing.

I did it on actually polishing apples. 

I first explained that the women in my family line for generations ( including my grandmother) had run fruit stands back in the old country and the art of properly polishing apples by hand to aid in sales had been taught to me from the time I was old enough to hold an apple.

Then I illustrated by actually polishing an apple while discussing proper rubbing techniques, including speed, firmness of grip (hard enough to polish, soft enough  to avoid bruising the apple) *edit*
I also had different types of materials to polish with, paper towel, nylon, 100% cotton to show that the cotton was optimal for polishing

Then I explained that UCLA had done an extensive study  of sales of polished vs unpolished apples and discovered that polished apples of the same type, size, condition of ripeness etc sold 4 x faster than unpolished apples.

Then I held up a picture of a automated applepolisher ( which I had drawn) which I claimed was now commonly used in the apple industry.

Discussed the advantages of using distilled vs spring water to clean the apples and disparaged the use of waxes that coat the skins.


I did get an A+ and convinced about half the class that I had extensively researched the topic and came from a long line of Hungarian apple polishers.

Today, I'll be ushering for Hedwig and the Angry Inch again, and then right after that, the family will hie ourselves to one of the restaurants at the Red Wind Casino to celebrate the birthday of my sister's boyfriend. :)

So...I though I was supposed to usher for Hedwig today. ::)

So, I signed up just last night to usher, and I got down there a little late, thinking that the call time was 12:30.  I walked through the box office, said hi to the person sitting there, then went into the lobby which was completely dark. ???
Title: Re: 110%! AND NOW - TO INFINITY AND BEYOND
Post by: George on July 10, 2022, 10:45:46 PM
I quickly looked up the call time info on my phone and that's when I saw that I was actually about 5 minutes early, but people still should've been there already.

I went back into the box office and that's when I was told that the performance had been cancelled due to Covid.  What?? :-\

She also said that the performance last night had been cancelled!  WHAT?? :o

Post by: George on July 10, 2022, 10:46:54 PM
They cancelled TWO performances but still had them listed online as available to usher??  I quickly checked my e-mail and there was no e-mail telling me not to come down to the theater.

Post by: George on July 10, 2022, 10:47:34 PM
Just a few minutes later, another usher showed up, also not knowing that the performance had been cancelled.  Well!  There was nothing that we could do except to leave. :P

I'm going to send a message to the volunteer coordinator expressing my displeasure at the whole situation.  They should've taken down the volunteer listing and made sure that something like this didn't happen. >:(

After I left the theater, I came home and visited my friend Shelly who lives in the next building.  I taught her how to play Phase 10 and we played a couple of games.  We each one a game. :)

I had the MEATBALL AL FORNO PUTTANESCA: housemade meatball, spaghetti noodles, Puttanesca sauce.  It was one big meatball on what looked like angel hair pasta and the sauce, which was the watery kind of spaghetti sauce, so it never seems like you get very much.  It all tasted very good, but I like a thicker, less watery sauce.
