I'm home.  I actually got home about 25 minutes or so ago, but I'm here now.  Last night's show went pretty well.  I thought it was a little sedate...both in the energy of the actors and the reactions of the audience...but just a little.  The audience loved it and everything else otherwise went really well.

After the show, we had another cast party and the house we went to (again, we went there after Friday's show) is only a few blocks from the mall where the theater is, so it didn't take long to get there.  More food and drink, and a good time was had by all.  Now, I'm off to bed so that I can get up in time to shower and get dressed for today's matinee.  Then, we'll only have four performances left!

After today's matinee, a bunch of us are going to see another local theater's outside performance of Shakespeare.  I forget which specific show it is. ::) Then tomorrow, it's back to work.

The alarm rang at 5:45, I got out of bed, fed the cats and went back to bed. I awoke at 7:30 to find Annabelle sleeping next to me. I dressed, did kitty cleanup, and I'm sitting here listening to some mass by Schubert, drinking my coffee, and feeling quite disoriented.

Last night, I baked a DiGiorno frozen pizza for dinner after I had cleaned up the cats' dinner dishes. I hads about half of the pizza and piut the other half into the fridge, read more of my mystery till my eyes stopped working, and went to bed around 8:30.

I don't know if you remember, but I had posted several years ago about a friend, John Mekeel, who was sentenced for killing his father. I've wondered for several years now how he was. Last night I dreamed about him.
Title: Re: THE OFFER YOU CAN REFUSE
Post by: elmore3003 on August 21, 2022, 06:40:19 AM
I have to say, I can't blame him for the killing. His father was an overbearing mucho macho man and bully. John was on a downward spiral; his marriage was over, he had a child to support, his wife was a banker, as I recall, and he was delivering pizzas and living with his father and grandmother. At one point he asked if he could move in with me, and I turned him down. I didn't hear from him after that. I learend about trhe murder by googling his name. I hope he's well.

Hello to one and all!  There's a new Broadway Radio Show up on the site...this edition is my chat with Musical Director DAVID O who is currently leading the band of Broadway's Mr. Saturday Night starring Billy Crystal.  We had a wonderful conversation about his career (mainly here in Southern California) and the excitement of his first Broadway show along side Jason Robert Brown, Amanda Green and, of course, the hysterical Billy Crystal.

Check it out!

There has been a bridge to the western part of Fire Island, where you can find the Robert Moses Beach, the Coast Guard Station and the Fire Island lighthouse since 1954.

Everything east of the lighthouse is only accessible by boat

Vixmom, I looked at both Google and Bing Maps last night, and I couldn't be sure about this because neither of them has street views where you'd need them, but on the satellite views it looks like that eastbound road from the beach does connect with Cedar Ct. in Kismet, the westernmost community of Fire Island. A street view would tell us if it's blocked off, but I do see a few vehicles on those streets.

There's a bagel I must eat before it gets any older (it's already got two days on it), and I'll see what else I can rustle up. But I've already determined that this evening's repast will be CINCINNATI CHILI, and I greatly look forward to that.

At my mom's today, we had strawberry-rhubarb pie for dessert.  It was store bought, but it was the first time that I actually like it.

I guess my anything goes topic for today will be what is the most fun or unusual thing that you have seen/done at a cast/strike party?

I can answer that. Many, many years ago, after a Bluth Brothers Theatre production I did, there was a cast party at Don and Fred Bluth's parents' house. It was the first time I'd ever eaten sloppy joes. But the star of the show/party was when Don Bluth, then an animator of birds at Disney, did his bird imitation. It was incredible! To draw birds you must of course first observe them carefully. He clearly had and had the movements down perfectly (for a human). I'll never forget it.

I guess my anything goes topic for today will be what is the most fun or unusual thing that you have seen/done at a cast/strike party?

I can answer that. Many, many years ago, after a Bluth Brothers Theatre production I did, there was a cast party at Don and Fred Bluth's parents' house. It was the first time I'd ever eaten sloppy joes. But the star of the show/party was when Don Bluth, then an animator of birds at Disney, did his bird imitation. It was incredible! To draw birds you must of course first observe them carefully. He clearly had and had the movements down perfectly (for a human). I'll never forget it.

That is a memorable evening.

Just finished an Italian movie from Italy called Mascarpone. It’s a kind of gay male version of An Unmarried Woman and it ends the same way, with the main character carrying an oversized piece of art, in this case a photo, through busy streets. It has a lot to do with pastries and is sweet.

Jane, I am only a third of the way through the Personal Librarian. I’m liking it, but …

The main character studies Latin, German and French in her spare time, but her English grammar is sloppy and she uses anachronisms here and there.

Belle is understandably drawn to power, but I’m not liking the mentions so far that she’s sexually attracted to her boss. It’s clumsily presented.

But power of all sorts is at work here. Morgan’s power, the power of money, white privilege, male dominance, even white lesbian power over black women, the power of gossip, the power of association.

Today at the show, this woman came up to me and asked if I went to Nisqually Middle School and Timberline High School (I did) and she said that we were friends back then!  I have no memory of her. :-\ Well, I just looked through my 8th grade yearbook and there she was!  Now, we're Facebook friends.

Vixmom, I looked at both Google and Bing Maps last night, and I couldn't be sure about this because neither of them has street views where you'd need them, but on the satellite views it looks like that eastbound road from the beach does connect with Cedar Ct. in Kismet, the westernmost community of Fire Island. A street view would tell us if it's blocked off, but I do see a few vehicles on those streets.

I believe the only vehicles are official vehicles belonging to the coast guard, or shore police or rescue vehicles
