Good morning, friends.

We don't have Meconi's here.

But I want one.

Strawberry rhubarb pie. My favorite.

Good morning, all!

Strawberry rhubarb pie. My favorite.
Rhubarb and okra: two dishes for my disposal.
However, strawberry shortcake at this moment would make me very, very happy.

I slept very very well last night. I still cannot believe that.

I need to vacuum this morning after I take the garbage to the basement.

Between 1956 and 1964, when I left home for college, I averaged a movie a week. At that time, Middletown, Ohio, had three movie theaters - at some point, the Strand, where I saw Ben-Hur, folded, got refurbished as the Studio, and opened with Shirley MacLaine's What a Way to Go! - and there was usually something playing at one of them that might be suitable for my brother Macbeth and me. Occasionally my mother vetoed something; I remember three Gigi, On the Beach, Baby Doll - but her mothering was so passive/aggressive that a lot of things got past her.
At school, my movie going went to hell, and I probably saw an average of maybe three to five movies between September and June and catching up at the drive-in during the summer. After I finished school, I was mostly involved in community theater and community symphony, so I missed a lot of movies and TV programs.
All this is a prelude to why I never saw Hotel; I think I would have loved it.
-
I just remembered: after my Aunt Jenny saw Suddenly Last Summer, Macbeth and I were forbidden to see that as well.
-
DR Michael G, thanks for the information on the German camps films. When I was in college, my friend Barbara Peffers took a summer trip to Europe. The group she was with toured Auschwitz. Half way through the tour she became completely traumatized and had to be carried out.
-
DR MichaelG, your dad is 99 and in good health? Fantastic!
-
That's enough of me.
-

Small world! I have a brother who married a Lady Macbeth, which makes my brother a Macbeth.
Maybe they're related or maybe cut from the same cloth.
They say where's there's a will, there's relatives. :)
-
I'm wondering if our family was partially to blame. We should have suspected something and protected everybody the moment we heard my brother was married to a lady named "Lady Macbeth."
:)
Anyway, it's her birthday June 11.

Since we've been talking the last couple of days about families involvement with the concentration camps and WWII, here's more on our family.
Hitler couldn't destroy my dad's section of the Landau family, but Lady Macbeth was able to do that. The tag line for my stories about Joann could be -
Don't miss HITLER 2
"She converted to Judaism and proceeded to completely finish off the Holocaust survivor family that the Nazi's couldn't finish off."
My father was a Holocaust survivor who lived to 100-1/2, passing away (from Covid) in February 2021. He had written his memories of the Holocaust by hand, planning at the time to form them into a book. We had his notes typed up, and a cousin put Dad's narrative online pretty much verbatim (though occasionally some words were just not legible to us, so instead of guessing what he was writing, we just noted that the specific words here and there were hard to read. We wanted that to remain entirely in Dad's words.).

hoping to add his voice to the cry of "Never again," whether or not we're actually able to create the book Dad had once planned.

My memories may not have as big a target audience as Larry's, of course. :)
My mom was a Holocaust refugee who came over on a boat at about eight years old, but her parents and sister were not able to get on the boat. Just as my Dad wanted every detail of his experience with the Nazis known, Mom preferred not to talk about it.
My mom chose to go with the feeling that, as far as her life in America was concerned , the family (by birth, her aunt and uncle) that took her in and accepted her as their daughter, whose son (by birth, her first cousin) accepted her as his sister - were her parents and brother. And their families always treated us as Mom being their daughter and sister, respectively.

Good morning, all.

Happy Cole Porter’s birthday!

Good morning, all.

I think I will listen to The New Yorkers today.

Today, if my calendar is correct, is Sunday.
Today at 11 a.m., I shall meet my cousin Butch and his fiancee Sharon for lunch.
Afterward, i shall stop at Third Generation Restaurant and pick up my dinner.
Then, it's Zoom time.
I'm in a rut!

I, too, never saw HOTEL back in its day. I was at school, too, and I did go to some new films, but I let a lot of traditional Hollywood fare go unseen. Due to the influence of the people around me, I was thrilling to the likes of THE GRADUATE, IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, WAIT UNTIL DARK, IN COLD BLOOD, 2001, and MIDNIGHT COWBOY in those first couple of years.
I first saw HOTEL when I got that Warner Archives DVD several years ago, and then not that long ago in my little Preview Harvey marathon. Just those two times. I look forward to another soon, and I'll pay more attention to the music.
-
DR FREDDIE thank you so much for sharing the story and link!
Fascinating and relevant......
-
I also love the movie HOTEL....such wonderful performances!
-
Page Two!
-
What wonderful notes!
I am so happy to see that MR BK mentioned Strangers When We Meet directed by Mr. Richard Quine and starring his beard....uh....his fiance Ms. Kim Novak, Mr. Kirk Douglas, Ms. Barbara Rush, and Mr. Walter Matthau.
It is a movie highly recommended by the likes of me......AND Ms. Kim Novak drives a Ford Falcon.....as if.....
-
When I think of HOTEL, I also think of AIRPORT. That one, too, was a later in life discovery for me, and I absolutely love it.

I have strawberries and blueberries on hand, so …

DR FREDDIE thank you so much for sharing the story and link!

Thank you so much, Jrand!

Feel better vibes for DR JOHN G.

The play last night (Evelyn in Purgatory) was excellent - the play itself, a perfect cast, everything.
That makes two for two local plays this season in which the casting and directing have been exceptional, the other one being Diana Canova's Moon Over Buffalo. We have good theeder in these parts, but these were above and beyond.
-
I forgot that STRANGERS WHEN WE MEET also features one of the screen performances of Mr. Ernie Kovacs who is also most excellent.
And I think everybody is acting way above their pay grades....particularly Rush & Matthau.
-
Damn. Now I have to watch the DVD.
-
I need to vacuum this morning after I take the garbage to the basement.
Recalling the somewhat famous line from the off-Broadway play MONEY TALKS which starred Dolores Grey:
Nature abhors a vacuum, and so does my cleaning lady.
-
Thanks for the theeder repor DR CHAS SMITH.
Yes it has been said that writers/composers make much more money from productions in the hinterlands than they ever made in NYC......
Champagne for everyone!

LOL DR FREDDIE.
Have you read the "novel" UP WITH THE SUN by Thomas Mallon?
It is the story of actor Dick Kallman and Ms. Gray plays a prominent role in it.....most interesting.
-
A question for DR Jrand73, since you just op'ned --
How often, in the "post-covid" era, does your theeder suffer from notable low attendance? It almost doesn't matter what the play or musical is here, attendance is deplorable.
Okay, there are indeed exceptions. But in general...

In my new-ish tradition of "Shilling for YouTube views" -

This had been a 2020 parody pitch for socially-distant theater ideas, in this one offering to well-off customers that your high-price premium seat could offer an optional limo to the premium ER. :)

-
DR CHAS SMITH - our season ticket numbers are down about 80-90 for each season since COVID....and walk up attendance is also down.
We do have sell outs - but many season ticket holders do not show up for all of the shows.
I am not sure that we will ever reach our pre-Covid attendance numbers.....it's just something we have to accept.
-
LOL DR FREDDIE of course Mr. Cole Porter one of the most seww-fisty-kated men EVER was born in PEE-ru, Indiana.
A couple of his blue-haired cousins visited us at PCPH once when we did ANYTHING GOES....they were hilarious!
-
PEE-ru was also the winter home of the Ringling Brothers Circus.
-
It is interesting that Clifton Webb another notably sew-fisty-kated man was born in Indiana.
When it comes to sew-fisty-kashun.....we are the first hogs to the trough.
-
LOL DR FREDDIE.

Oops, right, it's Dolores Gray, not Grey.

I could have gone back and edited my earlier post, but it helps the page count to add extra posts.
Never say in one post what you can stretch to four!

Do cousins still have the wonderful relationships we do?
Perhaps it is a thing of the past.

I would like to have a cousin named Butch.
I have Daryl and Steve and Danny.....among others.

Beautiful weather in Indiana.....and I have NO PLACE I have to go. I have some work to do.....at my lay-sure - as Bunny Watson would say.

For the past two days I have been cleaning out and rearranging my spice cabinet. I have three unopened jars of marjoram. Don’t ask why. I cut three containers of basil down to two, two jars of mustard seeds to one, and who knows what all else. I inherited another person’s spices, so I now have more arrowroot than any one person needs. And I have bay leaves for more than a hundred stews. It’s going slowly. But I hope to get it done today.

I just love all the help you have been getting and that your family will be over to see your progress :)

Freddie, thank you for sharing your father's memoirs.
Have you or your family tried contacting the US Holocaust Memorial Museum about it? They have memoirs from one of my 2nd cousins once removed who survived the Holocaust by passing as a Catholic girl, and another relative who survived the camps.
By coincidence, I had contact with a researcher at USHMM whose father was in my Dad's army battalion! I wanted to look him up when I visited Washington DC last year, but sadly he had died a few years before.
-
My father met a cousin in France who survived after being adopted by a family. I never got her name. I only know she was an actress. At the time he thought she was the only survivor until we found family in Israel, but sadly too late for my father to communicate with his cousin.
-
I'm up, I'm up - nine hours of good sleep with very weird dreams, one of which was doing a book signing in New York in a store I never heard of on the upper west side, although no one seemed to know WHERE on the upper west side and when I looked at the street signs it said 17th and Third. For some reason I'd just settled into a hotel and gone there, but no one knew about it - elmore was the only one there and I asked him to call everyone we knew but he held out his flip phone and said it had died. I do think some people showed up at noon.
-
Which is when I got up.
-
Food in an hour, then I go pick up some kazoos.

That's a good idea. I'll check if there's a way on their site to send it to them to put online. Thanks!

Mom preferred not to talk about any of the details of this. I'm sure for my Mom, there was a real element of survivor's guilt that she got to escape but her sister and parents didn't.
Towards the last years, Dad was very open about every aspect of his life, but Mom stayed as evasive as she did, in part because she was so young when she got here.
Mom and Dad were shocked when they realized (it was around spring 2013) that the money they'd built up, expecting to make life easier for the next generation, had caused the family to be ripped apart by the greed of our family's version of the Macbeths.

This morning I listened to Hedre We Are, the last Sondheim show. Jonathan Tunick had sorta warned me it might be a hard go, and maybe because of that warning, I was surprised that I didn't think so. I just kept thinking I wish I liked it more. Now I'm curious to see the two Bunuel movies.
I also listened to Evening Primrose, which I love, and Stages/Together Again, two Kimmel shows I also love. The CD happily arrived in yesterday's mail and made my morning.
-
I also discovered something today about my email spellcheck: it questions Tunick and accepts Sondheim.
-
Time for kitty cleanup 2, the dinner shift.
-
Leaving shortly for a choral concert at the Episcopal cathedral in Minneapolis. The concert is later, but we are going to dinner beforehand at a restaurant in the Walker Art Museum, which is nearby.

Great photos, DR Jrand73. Looks like everything's up-to-date, all right.

I must listen to those two Kimmels, too! All of that Kritzer stuff is in a neat stack on the table in the Music Room, waiting for me. I had meant to do it while reading the last two books, and the listening got away from me.
-
I also discovered sopmething today about my email spellcheck: it questions Tunick and accepts Sondheim.
And yet, it accepted Hedre. :D
-
I'm glad to hear that about the score to Here We Are, and I'm sorry I let the world premiere get away from me.
But I'm surprised that DR Elmore hasn't seen the two movies. (Did I understand that right?) I'm more familiar with the second, and I will take them both out again soon. But these are classics with a capital C, and you know what that rhymes with.
-
DR ELMORE both of the movies are disturbing to me....but I am from the Midwest.
-
Thanks DR singdaw......of course....I just wanted to be noticed.
-
Every time I work on a R/H show, my respect for them increases.....

Of course Cord Elam on the left in both pictures has NO IDEA what he is doing or where he is supposed to be.

Your body needs the rest after the workout you gave it. Are you doing stetches? That and an easy walk might be good for you.

I’m still exhausted and I have done next to nothing for two days.

Standing for any period of time causes the pain to return. I do water the garden after dark.

I did finish the spice cabinet. Now if I can only remember how I organized everything.
-
And of course, the one spice I was looking for, aleppo pepper, isn’t there.

This morning I listened to Hedre We Are, the last Sondheim show. Jonathan Tunick had sorta warned me it might be a hard go, and maybe because of that warning, I was surprised that I didn't think so. I just kept thinking I wish I liked it more. Now I'm curious to see the two Bunuel movies.
I need to see those movies too, along with Thomas Adès' opera of The Exterminating Angel.

Leaving shortly for a choral concert at the Episcopal cathedral in Minneapolis. The concert is later, but we are going to dinner beforehand at a restaurant in the Walker Art Museum, which is nearby.
I went to see Spoonbridge and Cherry on my very first business trip to the Twin Cities, though that was on a gray November day. Great sculpture!

Food eaten - penne pasta in pink sauce with a single meatball.

Hadn't been to the mail place in over a week - one piece of junk mail and the kazoos.

That's really nice! Is there just the one photo?

Sorry. I find standing more difficult than walking. Just be sure to get up and move throughout the day.

That is moving ;)

After a week of prep and Tech I think I shall ready to lie down.

OY do I hate it when my my page turns another color and my internet makes me want to change my way of posting another way at HHW.

FU as a Sunshine boy would say.

I finally took the time to figure out how to stop adds on my phone from Lyft & Uber.
-
I hope it worked.
-
I have never actually used Uber, and only Flyft a few times. Usually Keith orders the cars for us when we need them.
-
Good luck DR JANE....the internet is not in favor of us!
-
OMG it is almost nine o'clock and I don't care what the internet thinks.
Good night.
And it took a LONG time to post that sentence.

That works. Looks great!
For some reason, your FB posts haven't been coming up directly in my feed very recently! I noticed that I now had to go searching for them.

Hey, how did you know the name the song I wrote for my brother and his wife, the Macbeths?

It’s excellent. Couldn’t be any more different from Sondheim’s if he tried. The Met had it on a simulcast and on its website during the pandemic.

Six!

I could stand long enough to do dishes and make the pie.
-
Now I have to do dishes again.
-
I watched a couple of episodes of The Mothers-in-Law. I needed something light.

Good evening!

Would using a massager contraption help or hurt or do nothing for your neck?

So much violence when Kaye keeps hitting Roger, though.
-
Or am I remembering it as more violent than it was?

Thanks, however, it is an app on my phone.

Maybe making pie wasn't the best thing to do ;)

Good night, Jane

Hello, everyone.
Hi, Jeanne!

Interesting story about your family, Freddie. I hope you’re able to get the memoir printed.

I have a combined heating pad and massager. I can’t use the massager. It adds to the pain.

Hello, Jeanne.

None of my family lived through the Holocaust, but my mother had a somewhat similar experience as your mother’s. When my mother was about five her father brought her to California with him, leaving her mother and brother in Texas. She was brought up in a Catholic boarding school. She had very little to say about it when I was growing up and the only thing she would say about Texas was to complain about the huge cockroaches! I think she put her old life behind her and that was that. It couldn’t have been easy, separated from both her parents at the age of five, cared for by only the nuns, and she could only speak Czech! She learned to speak English without an accent, but getting to that point must have been difficult. I think she didn’t want to be reminded of those years.

Pie!

Sorry to hear about your pain, John G. Drinking a lot of water really does help. There’s a connection between dehydration and pain syndromes. Half an ounce of water for every pound of body weight is recommended by the holistic pharmacist I know. (Divide your weight by 2. That is the number of ounces you should strive for daily.) I find I need even more that that if I eat sugar or chocolate.
Hope you find relief soon.
-
I’ve been feeling rather low. In addition to the loss of my friend Rebecca a month or so ago I learned that two old friends have passed on. It happens to us all, I know. Why is it so difficult to stay in touch? We’re all busy, often buried. Staying in touch seems to be more the result of circumstance than intention.
-
Vibes to all for a good week and happy surprises.
TTFN.
-
Thanks for sharing DR JEANNE!
-
DR FREDDIE if you haven't already since the dreaded hack....send a Facebook friend request to Jackrandall Earles......that may help.

I'll do that!

Back home. The meal was delicious and the choral concert truly gorgeous.

I'm glad I went.

It's a school night.
-
Good night, friends.
-
I'm glad I went.
That's great, singdaw!
-
Jrand, it looks like I must have already done that with the new FB name Jackrandall Earles.
And you must have accepted it.
I'll try "reacting" to some of your posts that I'd missed and see if that works.
-
OK, did that. Let's see if that works.
-
Hugs, Jeanne.

Finished Erik Larson’s The Demon of Unrest. The Confederates are hung by their own words throughout. And they sound like too many Southern politicians today.
-
Good night, all.
-
I do not care for page seven.
-
Watched half of Hotel - really need a great Blu-ray - color's fine but it's not a great transfer - the Technicolor prints were gorgeous and sharp. Love the movie still.
-
Merle Oberon is top-notch, as is Michael Rennie - but everyone is.

Well, I was going to post this yesterday, but I was in the middle of something else and I saved it to a separate note app on my phone, so it has the direct links to yesterday's posts. :)
I had lunch today with the widow of August Wilson, who is a former neighbor of ours.
Wow. He was amazing. I've seen about half of the cycle he wrote.
I actually haven't seen any, but in 2013, The Green Space recorded all ten plays in his cycle, and simulcast the audio.
I was able to capture the complete audio series. :)
-
They're no longer able to stream, but this article has some more information:
New York Public Radio Announces American Century Cycle (https://www.americantheatre.org/2020/11/02/new-york-public-radio-announces-american-century-cycle/)
The 2013 recordings of August Wilson’s seminal series will be made available for educational purposes.
-
Wilson’s American Century Cycle is a series of 10 plays about the Black experience in America throughout the 20th century, all but one set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District. Directors for the project included Kenny Leon, Phylicia Rashad, Michele Shay, and the late Marion McClinton. The recorded readings feature many actors reprising the roles they performed onstage, including Leslie Uggams, Anthony Chisholm, Brandon Dirden, Russell Hornsby, the late Roger Robinson, Keith David, Ebony Jo-Ann, John Earl Jelks, Roslyn Ruff, S. Epatha Merkerson, Jerome Preston Bates, Taraji P. Henson, and the late Chadwick Boseman. The readings were scored with original music by the late Bill Sims Jr. and other composers who worked with Wilson.

Anyone want a link to download them? :)

Well, today was a day!

My family came over to my place for our quasi-weekly family get-together, and to see the progress that I and my friend Shelly and my niece have been making on helping me clean my house.
-
There's still some work to be done (to be done!), but it's getting there.
-
Gratuitous Post #200!!
-
We just had Costco pizza (one cheese and one pepperoni) and diet Pepsi and water to drink.
-
That's it? I'm sure there was food.
-
I'm sure there were libations.
-
We didn't play Phase 10 because my sister wasn't there and my niece and my sister's boyfriend had to leave around 1:15 so that they could host/facilitate the monthly PFLAG meeting.
-
Are Costco pizzas freshly made or frozen.
-
I'm sure there were libations.
Just the diet Pepsi, and I had some instant coffee for my mom, but she didn't like it. ::)
-
I really don't love Diet Pepsi.
-

They are freshly made and I really like them.
-
I really don't love Diet Pepsi.
They used to feature Coke products (including diet Coke), but they changed to Pepsi several years ago.

Where the HELL is page eight?

See?

PAGE EIGHT COSTCO PIZZA DANCE!!

-
It has a lot of cheese...which I really like. :)
-
You can't make any changes, it's just either cheese pizza or pepperoni pizza and other assorted foodstuffs in their deli.
-
They used to have a combo pizza more toppings, but they discontinued that at the beginning of Covid and never brought it back. That was my mom's favorite pizza.
