Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a surprise run-through, and now it is time for you to post until the run-through cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: THERAPEUTIC!
-
Topic of the Day: I rarely remember any dreams. :-\ So, I only know that ALL of my dreams (that I even remember) have been weird.
-
And about POOCHIE PANTS: in the lyrics for "Somebody" from Schmidt and Jones' Celebration, the song refers to them, but uses what I assume is the Italian spelling:
...And so, before these golden days
These Lolita days are through
I'm gonna get myself some Pucci pants
And here's what I'm gonna do:
I gonna be somebody
Before they lay me in my grave
I gonna be somebody
So everyone'll be my slave!....
-
:D
-
Good morning, friends.
-
If someone is killed unexpectedly by a sword, is that a surprise run-through?
-
Now you can sleep in total comfort.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Emma saw a Pucci and Emma cleared a bin.
-
Or is that Poochie?
-
Good morning, all!
-
It is too warm in this apartment. It really affected my sleep last night.

TOD
In this dream, I became aware that my brother - good ol' Macbeth - had serious issues when the moon was full. I expressed this concern to my friends, my teachers, and my friends, who all brushed off my concerns. Then, one night, my brother morphed into a wolf who attacked me. I escaped, and once again, I was the boy crying wolf. By the end of the dream, I was in the attic of the house where I grew up, as my brother, mother, and father - all werewolves - were attacking me.
I had this dream when I was in grade school, maybe 5th or sixth grad, so that would be 1956 or 57. At the time, I thought it was a nightmare but as I grew older, I thought it was funny. Looking back from a perspective of 60 years, I see it was not just about my fears of being the outsider in my family but my fears, that came back in a burst og paranoia in the mid-1970s, that my family wanted me dead.
-
I have a few things to take care of today: Access-a-Ride for tomorrow's appointment, try out the new pens I purchased since my favorite writing instrument is no longer being made by Paper Mate, and some preliminary work on a book I think a dear friend and I are going to attempt. This should prove interesting if nothing else.
-
Good morning, all.

:)
-
Got a big day ahead of me. I must finish preparing for a rehearsal this evening, and then load my gear into the car. This is for a choral concert in which I only play synth (harp, celesta, marimba, chimes) in four numbers (in a ten-piece orchestra), so not a huge burden except for the logistics. Fortunately it’s in a local church, so no “commute”.
-
If someone is killed unexpectedly by a sword, is that a surprise run-through?
No. It's felony murder.
-
I am reminded of a line in "Funny Face", the movie. While Fred Astaire is photographing a model, he askes her to look at some sculpture and pronounce what it was.
She, in her uneducated accent, said "It's a Pucci" (or something like that). She may have said a word that started with a B, but it's a name with which I am unfamiliar.
-
This week has ominous overtones.
Thursday morning, I must have an MRI done. This is the scan the doctor told me he wants to rule out a brain tumor as the cause of my hearing loss in my left ear.
The test will just about be over by this time Thursday morning, but it doesn't mean I won't contemplate it quite a bit over the next few days.
-
A week from today, I am supposed to go with my cousin Debra to Litchfield Beach on the South Carolina coast to spend a few days with my cousins Rick and Susan.
I am, honestly, not looking forward to it. However, I have promised twice that I will go, so there it is. Can't break a double promise.

Have a very nice day!!

TOD:
My recurring dream has to do with taking a final in a class I hadn’t attended most of the semester. And my desk is behind a pillar.
In real life, I found out my last semester that in order to graduate, I needed to take world geography. I slept through every class I attended. The final was 20+ pages. One page was a map of Africa and you had to name all of the countries. I somehow got a B. But taking that test was worse than the dream.

Reciprocal VIBES for all having medical appointments/issues this week!

Wonder what song BK is contemplatin' cuttin'.

TOD:
The dream that has stuck with me longest is one I had in college (circa 1968 or 69).
In my dream I was at my college in the North Carolina mountains, and news reached us of a nuclear explosion that would affect everyone when it snowed.
And it began snowing. I, and my fellow theater majors, huddled together in a below-stage area of our theater.
For some reason, I opened a door and looked out. The snow covered everything. I remember wondering if my parents were safe and if they were worried about me. And, it suddenly occurred to me that I would never see my parents again. I woke up with tears in my eyes.
That was my most traumatic dream ever.
Happily, I have had no recurring dreams, other than a couple about being late for an exam in a class i had forgotten I was taking and roaming through halls that were dark and couldn't find the exam room. The dreams are in different locales, but the situation is similar in each. That also includes my military time and me not being able to find my ship when I knew I had to be on board for a duty day.

Test vibes, DR Rodzinski.

Only one afternoon in the city. To see Here We Are.
-
The rest of the time in upstate and Niagara.
-
Do We is great fun. JohnG has it right - You and I. Involves cast members who are not part of the plot, comes directly after Coffee with a set up that doesn't help and on Broadway it had about ten people in it - we have five and it's just not good.
-
Ah. You and I.
Would you worry the performers would be sad to have their one number cut?
-
I had a dream last night I was in a cruise ship and it doubled as a business conference, and Richard Thomas was there as a celebrity presenter. I sat next to him on a sofa and we had a nice talk. He wasn’t super-friendly but we had some laughs. Meanwhile my kids had commandeered a huge sack of stuffed animals.
-
Good Afternoon - Well, this day took a turn when I got a call from my BFF telling me that a good friend of ours passed away last night. My day just hasn't been the same since. I'm back at White Christmas this eve where we will work Act 1. I'm thankful for that. Other than that, it's one of those times where I need to get out of here and go home and be with the DD's.

I have a few things to take care of today: Access-a-Ride for tomorrow's appointment, try out the new pens I purchased since my favorite writing instrument is no longer being made by Paper Mate, and some preliminary work on a book I think a dear friend and I are going to attempt. This should prove interesting if nothing else.
Good luck with everything, Larry!

Hello, everyone.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Matthew. That is always difficult.

While at Trader Joe’s today I saw a dog in costume. I couldn’t tell you what the costume was, except that it included a piece that fit over his head. It looked like the costume was made for him. I did not see any humans in costume, however. Perhaps his owner is doing Halloween vicariously. Or perhaps he is waiting for tomorrow.

The test will just about be over by this time Thursday morning, but it doesn't mean I won't contemplate it quite a bit over the next few days.
The manager of this building had a small brain tumor a couple years ago. It was benign, but they chose to remove it. I was amazed at how quickly she recovered. She’s in her fifties, stayed at her mother’s for a few weeks as planned, then was fine. Ron, I’m sure you’re nervous — anyone would be — but these things aren’t as devastating as they used to be. And it may be negative.
Vibes it’s negative and that’s the end of it.

Oh, no. My condolences, Matthew. :(
-
I've spent two hours going through the script and making little cuts throughout - extraneous things that don't buy us anything or that are repetitious, and I adjusted a couple of intros to songs. I also adjusted the set up to You and I and am going to try and cut the intro, which I really don't like and isn't really necessary.

Do We is great fun. JohnG has it right - You and I. Involves cast members who are not part of the plot, comes directly after Coffee with a set up that doesn't help and on Broadway it had about ten people in it - we have five and it's just not good.
You and I is also kind of dated. Who remembers David Suskind? But Kander’s melody is lovely.

"There's Always a Woman"
cut from Anyone Can Whistle
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
-
Good night, friends.
-
That song has moved you close to a new milestone, Singdaw.
-
I won’t finish The Running Grave tonight.
-
But it’s fascinating.
-
One of Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rawling’s best.
-
I still need to watch Barbie before I leave.
-
But time is a four-letter word.
-
Onward.
-
Ten!
-
DR Matthew, please allow me to add my condolences for the loss of your friend. The older I get, the shorter my list of friends becomes. It's sad.
Embrace those who remain, and make sure you let them know what they mean to you while you still can.
-
Excellent advice, DR Ron.
-
Good night, all.
-
There's always a woman
I love this song!
-
That song has moved you close to a new milestone, Singdaw.
PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
-
One of Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rawling’s best.
I really liked it.
-
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Dan was a great person, he will be missed. We are all still in shock... this one was/is difficult. Tomorrow will be better.
-
A post before I doze. G’night!

"There's Always a Woman" was cut from Anyone Can Whistle."
-
Here are the lyrics to the title song...
-
Anyone can whistle,
-
That's what they say-
-
Easy.
-
Anyone can whistle
-
Any old day-
-
Easy.
-
It's all so simple:
-
Relax, let go, let fly.
-
So someone tell me why
-
Can't I?
-
I can dance a tango,
-
I can read Greek-
-
Easy.
-
I can slay a dragon
-
Any old week-
-
Easy.
-
What's hard is simple.
-
What's natural comes hard.
-
And now...
-
PAGE ELEVEN ANYONE CAN WHISTLE DANCE!!
(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619iiiRV3ZL._SL1500_.jpg)
-
Maybe you could show me
-
How to let go,
-
Lower my guard,
-
Learn to be free.
-
Maybe if you whistle,
-
Whistle for me.
-
Whistle at a dragon
-
Down it'll fall-
-
Easy.
-
Whistle at a hero
-
Trumpets and all-
-
Easy.
-
What's hard is simple.
-
What's natural comes hard.
-
Maybe you could show me
-
How to let go,
-
Lower my guard,
-
Learn to be free.
-
Maybe if you whistle,
-
Whistle for me.
