If I could think of all-original posts to fill up the page counts, I would.

It's just me being a curmudgeon. I understand the desire to increase the number of posts, but this current use of song lyrics to achieve that goal daily really works my last nerve.
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.
Good morning, and Happy Halloween!
Halloween greetings! We are waiting on pins and needles to hear whether or not the cabinets have been delivered for our new home.
Vixmom, would lunch on Nov. 11 be doable?

I think so! I'll double check with WFO tonight. Hopefully there's so ethereal near the theatre as WFO is still in a wheelchair

And if so, would you be able to join, Elmore?
I would invite myself along for that lunch, but that's the day of the concert I'm playing in so if I did that I'd have to promptly send my regrets.
Hiya!
Hiya!
Hi everyone!
It's gotten so cool outside. Yesterday we had our first snow. But luckily it didn't stick on the roads and melted by the afternoon. It's crazy because I was wearing shorts on Saturday.
One of the e-mails I did NOT answer was from our leading lady, asking Doug and I for a little private meeting after rehearsal this evening. She wants to discuss "options" as she's telling us she cannot learn her lines. I know what the option she'll want is, which is to carry the script - but I'm not of the opinion you can advertise this as a production and have your lead actress carrying the script and as I've told her already if she DID carry it, she'd lose her place, her eyes would be glued to to it and you can't even do it as a conceit because then everyone should have one. I have never been involved in a production this far along where so few know their lines. I'm bone tired of it all. This could have been such a great show if we weren't constantly replacing actors and going backwards. And my name is on it as director, not anyone else's. Really feeling beat up right now.
I had a good night of sleep, only to open the computer this morning and find an unsettling email that caused me to cancel my Access-a-Ride trips this morning. I cannot reschedule my doctor's appointment until 9:00am.

I am in receipt of both my property tax bill and my home insurance bill.
Yikes. I keep forgetting that Christmas is earlier for the county and my insurance company than it is for me.
Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, we’ve just been informed that our cabinets have been delivered and will be installed this week!
I hadn't realized that Teletubbies dated back to Medieval Times.

LOL. I must admit it makes me post less here.

I don't want to be the cause of anyone disliking the HHW experience!
Oh, and hardcover Kritzer World is on its way. As soon as I've seen it, I'll place the order and we can get this thing shipped out quickly.
I haven't wordled yet
Hiya!

About half an hour after we left home, and I had started the diswasher, the water for our building was shut off.
The water should have been back on by now but there seems to be a problem.
If I had known this at one time, I had forgotten it. Kind of cool, though.

Yikes! This must not have been a planned shut-off.

Happy Reformation Day, Vixmom!
I’ve had 10-12 trick-or-treaters so far.
First there was LOL (laughing out loud).
Then came ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing) and LMAO (laughing my ASS off).
And now there is IJBOL (pronounced eej-bowl). It stands for "I just burst out laughing."
Honestly.
So what does everyone think about Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster going into Sweeney Todd?
When do you travel to NYC, DR John G.?
But I'll wait to stream it at home when the price goes down. Last I checked, it was around $30.

Six hours later we have water again :)
My worst moments as a director come from people not learning their lines. Because there’s only so much direction you can give beyond “Learn the damn lines!” I had a whole scene in a show I just basically gave up on because the woman would get so lost and I told the two other poor actors stuck in the scene that they could do literally anything they wanted to save things. It was a black hole in the show. I still cringe to think of it.

I wish we had kids here. I only saw one little boy in a costume today.

Simple, but so beautiful.
