Title: THE WHAT IFS OF LIFE

Well, you've read the notes, the notes pondered the what ifs of life, and now it is time for you to post until the what if cows come home.

Actually the notes made me a little sad, on one hand, viewed in that context of what-ifs, and for you, there were key moments that were so pivotal. But I often see old pilots and forgotten shows on YouTube and think about the actors for whom that was their big shot and we never saw them again. Some people have just one big, pivotal what-if to ponder. It can be painful.

On the other hand BK, you’ve had many shots and built a life many would dream of. In other words, to be in position to have the number of what-ifs you’ve had means you had a lasting, recognizable talent and persona. The entertainment world kept coming back to you. Then you managed that level of talent across multiple platforms!

Not that you need a pep rally, but the worst kind of what-ifs, like the ones that plague me, are, what if I’d tried the various things I’d liked to have done? What if I’d pushed my talent, really gone for it, artistically, been unafraid to fail?

You got roadblocked by fate, assholes, shingles, maybe a bad decision here or there, but never by fear.

I slept quite well last night. I had a long, strange dream in whch I was back in college, working at the Miami University library, and it was the day before Thanksgiving. I had invited a co-worker for Thanksgiving dinner, and he was coming to my parents' home the next day, but he asked me to offer a ride to a young lady working in the new library. The first half of the dream was rather mundane: working at the library, looking at new acquisitions, tying up bundles of newspapersa in the library basement. And I was in my current state of mobility.

Then the dream turned dark, when I went to the other library to see the young lady about offering her a ride home, and I got the feeling I was in a slasher movie where my familywould be slaughtered one by one during the dinner. It's all vague: was the co-worker I invited the killer or another victim? It was most unsettling.

I was only at City Center for an hour yesterday. Joshie and I went through the two "Spanish Panics," and I packed up my work and left. He was taping new orchestra parts for Spamalot (band rehearsal on Thursday), and I have the two dances to work on. On the original cast recording, the 2-bar intro is the beginning of "Spanish Panic 1" and the remainder of the number is "Spanish Panic 2."

I had one of my dreams in which we’re getting ready to cast a show. Or decide on the show. Or something. It seemed to be centered around shows based on some early Fred Astaire movie(s). It was a mostly irritating dream and I was happy to find myself awake afterwards.

I wonder if my procedure (root scaling) is what the Grand Inquisitor was proposing for vixmom. If so, it’s annoying to sit there, and annoyingly costly, but you’re totally numbed and there’s no “recovery” at all except to watch what you eat for a few days; i.e., no seeds, that kind of thing.

Ah, the conundrums of life.  The "what ifs' that occasionally plague us.

A review usually puts it all to right.  I have no regrets in my life's path.  None.  Regardless of what "might have been" (at least, in my mind), I love what was.

Slept well.

Dreamed.

Somewhere in the dreams was a very sad puppy that had been passed over and passed over in a shelter and had given up on life.  My dream self took that puppy home and loved it. And it began to thrive.

I woke up thinking, "I need a puppy."   Reality tells me I don't.  Not at my age and not with a house fully carpeted.

Good Morning - I feel a little funk'd today.  I think it has to do with the Pippin (ironically) rehearsal last night.  Why do people keep doing this show?  The end is always a mess.  I really HATE The 2013 arrangements, but that is the show that is licensed now.  I guess the kids on stage are having a good time.  I, on the other hand, struggled through the show last night.  Maybe it was the sight-reading, I don't know.  But today I feel in a funk.  Hopefully tonight will go smoother.

Well I guess the ending of PIPPIN is a quandary.

I choreographed a production - and it was my opinion that the ending with Theo left on a bare stage with the Players was a bit scary.....but the director thought it was a wonderful thing and wanted it played as a sweet moment.

Nothing I said could change his mind.....so it was a bit of a quandary with Pippin and his wife being helpless and Theo and the players being in a good place......and I think unsatisfactory to the audience who thought about it.....

I saw the dentist today expecting him to remove what was left (not much) of my two broken crowns and give me temporaries. But no. He made me two temporary onlays. I’ll return on Monday and he’ll drill out the old crowns and make my REAL temporaries.

He also found a very bad cavity behind one of the fractured crowns, which will require an onlay. $$$ is now $$$$$.

Well I guess the ending of PIPPIN is a quandary.

I choreographed a production - and it was my opinion that the ending with Theo left on a bare stage with the Players was a bit scary.....but the director thought it was a wonderful thing and wanted it played as a sweet moment.g

Nothing I said could change his mind.....so it was a bit of a quandary with Pippin and his wife being helpless and Theo and the players being in a good place......and I think unsatisfactory to the audience who thought about it.....

A little too Fantasticks, IMO.

That was what happened to me when I pulled out my filling that I had to replace with a crown.  I was then charged for both visits and the extra temporary work.

DR Jeanne, on the bright side, had you not broken the crown you wouldn't have known about the bad cavity under there.

Had my online interview to edit Cemetery and Cremation monthly. It started rocky because I never got the “Teams” invite to the call. So I sent a reminder to the publisher. Didn’t hear anything. Thought they ghosted me! She then got in touch very apologetic. She’d mistyped my email.

So I scramble to log on to Teams. It wasn’t picking up my camera! Monkeyed around and the result of all this was I was actually very relaxed for the interview. Think I nailed it. But I gotta get them to go up on pay. A second round with more staff awaits…

This is weird (at least, I don't remember hearing these), according to a lyrics website, the lyrics to the 1989 London cast recording go like this:

Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock

If today, any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows anything goes

Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose
Anything goes

If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If old hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like
Why, nobody will oppose

When every night the set that's smart
Is intruding at nudist parties in studios
Anything goes

These lyrics are the same, but then they are totally different:

When the Missus Ned McLean, God bless her
Can get Russian reds to yes her
Then I suppose anything goes

When Rockefeller still can hoard enough money
To let Max Gordon produce his shows
Anything goes


The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once had several chateaux

When folks who still can ride in jitneys
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
Lack baby clothes
Anything goes

When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction
Then Nana shows
Anything goes

When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now does a handspring landing upon her toes
Anything goes

Just think of those shocks you've got
And those knocks you've got
And those blues you've got
From those news you've got
And those pains you've got
If any brains you've got
From those little radios

So Missus R, with all her trimmin's
Can broadcast abed from Simmons
'Cause Franklin knows
Anything goes
