From last night:
The same with PRIME TARGET, the mathematician-based show, though that never caught on at all, and was cancelled after its first season.
Freddie, did you ever see (or even hear of) a show called Kyle XY? It was a sci-fi show and they cancelled it at the end of the third season...and it ended on a cliff-hanger! :o They NEVER finished it.
-
I'm still mad about that. >:(

Random comment on a left-leaning political video short:
Do you remember when being vaccinated was normal and being a Nazi was unimaginable? This is the weirdest time line....

Good morning, all!
-
I was indeed ready for bed at 7:00 last night, and I slept very well most of the night. Around 4:30, after cuddling for some time with Thatch, I had a bathroom break, got semi-dressed and lay down with Annabelle for another 40 minutes or so. I then finished dressing, turned on the apartment lights, turned on the TV, and looked through my emails.

DR ChasSmith, get yourself a box of white cotton gloves:

and a jar of Aquaphor:
W?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1
Every night before bed lather up your hands with the Aquaphor, then put on the gloves. Your hands will thank you.
-
Every morning, wipe your hands thoroughly with a towel. The Aquaphor is a pain but it works wonders.
-
After kitty cleanup, I have a basement garbage-recycables trip, then a heavy round of tidying up. Then, I'm back to the iTunes mess. I am finally into the D's. I stopped yesterday with Diana Canova.
-
BK, I am loving the rehearsal notes.

I never watched the show, though I heard of it at the time. That's terrible for the fans that no conclusion was offered, especially for a show that ran three seasons.

Thanks for buying it, singdaw. That's greatly appreciated!

Yes, continued thanks to BK for sharing the details of the DRAT! THE CAT! rehearsal process!
-
Good morning, all.
-
DR Elmore, thank you for the info on the white cotton gloves, etc.
I'd been aware of that method of healing these things, but had never tried it. It just so happens that I recently got a pack of the gloves for a completely unrelated project -- which I then ended up not needing them for -- so I'm all set. I don't have Aquaphor here but I've got something or other from the dermatologist that I can use in the meantime. Thank you!
-
OMG, I didn't yet share my latest escapade of yesterday morning!
Pull up a chair, everyone.
So -- I told about the dry skin splitting on Finger #1 (#2 in piano terms), and I didn't mention it but there were actually a couple more that had bothered me in days prior. They'd been healing, but you can still feel the damned things for a while.
Anyhoo, JUST FOR COMIC RELIEF...
I was slicing a bagel yesterday morning, and -- I swear, I'm always careful when doing anything like this -- I was holding the bagel with the OTHER hand, and I somehow allowed the bread slicer to swipe against that hand's index finger...
So guess who had a band-aid on the opposite finger for yesterday's rehearsal and show? You only get one guess. At least I'd already removed the band-aid from the right hand, so I didn't look completely wrapped up like the gal in "The Eye of the Beholder". Not quite yet, anyway.
-
But then, oddly enough, though I could still feel them slightly, all fingers and thumbs felt pretty good during both sessions yesterday. Go figure. You never know how that's going to affect you. But the first bad one was healed enough, and the human-error one was a slight thing that the band-aid protected fine, and I just left it on because it was on a part of the finger that I could wrap it around and not have it interfere with playing.
-
And I think that's about enough from me on that subject today.
Whew.
-
Sending you more healing vibes. Chas!
-
We have a Mermaid performance tonight, and tomorrow's matinee closes the book on that subject.
Next week, we give a big hello to some woman who goes by the name of Dolly.

News from today's Reign of Terror:
-
I'm still mad about that. >:(
I watched that show, too. Danged right I'm still mad. But then CBS had a really great show in "Moonlight" starring Alex O'Laughlin and Jason Dohring. Cancelled after one fabulous season. I really hated CBS for dumping it as it was better than most shows on their agenda.
-
Thanks for the doctor visit vibes.
All is well. Some adjustments were made to my meds, mostly good as it cut back on dosages.
And I went to Panera and got the Asiago Bagel Chicken Roma sammich. MAN! That sammich was GOOD!!!

We started watching ON CALL last night, a relatively new police drama from producer Dick Wolf.
It's an unusual police drama series in that it's in half-hour episodes, or really more like 24-25 minutes, so the pacing of the show feels different than the hour-long police dramas. I'm liking it so far.

I remember Kyle XY. Fortunately for us we had stopped watching it before the abrupt ending.

We very much enjoyed the hit show Home Fires when it was cancelled at the end of the second season. The creator, Simon Block, wrote a book to complete the story. I didn't read the book.

Very sad news.
New Mexico officials have announced the cause of death for actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, a week after they were found dead at their home in Santa Fe. Hackman died of heart disease, with Alzheimer's disease as a contributing factor, and Arakawa died several days before him of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Chief Medical Investigator Dr. Heather Jarrell announced Friday.
-
Wish someone had checked on them.
The revelation that the famous and reclusive couple had died of natural causes put to rest much of the speculation that followed the discovery of their bodies on Feb. 26. But it also raised new questions about the state of mind of Mr. Hackman, who investigators said had severe Alzheimer’s disease, and why the couple was not discovered sooner.
Ms. Arakawa, 65, had run a series of errands on Feb. 11, but the authorities could find no evidence of any activity after that, suggesting that she could have died that day. Mr. Hackman, 95, is believed to have died about a week later, on Feb. 18, according to New Mexico’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Heather Jarrell.

Oh, my goodness! That's so sad. :(

TONY AWARD® WINNER SCENIC DESIGNER AND ARCHITECT
DAVID ROCKWELL
LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE TO REOPEN SPRING 2025
WEST BANK CAFÉ REOPEN NOW!
New York, NY (March 7, 2025) – Today, Tom D'Angora and Michael D'Angora, producers and owners of the iconic 42nd Street restaurant West Bank Café, announced Tony Award® winner and renowned architect and designer David Rockwell will lead an extravagant renovation of New York City's most prominent cabaret venue, The Laurie Beechman Theatre, to be completed by Spring 2025.
David Rockwell said, "The Laurie Beechman Theatre has been one of the theater district's hidden gems for culture seekers over more than forty years. Having this opportunity to be part of this new incarnation, extending its legacy for new generations of legendary artists and in-the-know audiences, is incredibly meaningful. Our design concept celebrates the space's rich and diverse history, while delivering an unabashedly glamorous experience for all who enter."
-
The last time I attended a show at The Laurie Beechman Theater was 14 years ago, when my dear daughter performed in a Halloween revue.
Wait until the very end., as the musical skit isn’t quite over when you think it is. 😄

not even someone to help clean that huge property occasionally.

Hantavirus feels like the flu, initially. But it can kill you within hours once it gets to the lungs.
“Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath and fluid in the lungs. "The fatal, rapidly progressive pulmonary illness can come on very quickly, in hours. That, itself, can become fatal on a very short timeline.”

And they had very poor, if any, cell phone service where they lived.

The idea was better than the reality.

The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra only drew about 400 people, but they were vocal and loved it.
-
And what’s not to love when you have an orchestra in playing Opus No. One, Once in a While and Sunny Side of the Street?
-
The singer was no Sinatra. He did better with songs associated with the Dorsey band, like Irving Berlin’s Marie and Blue Skies.
-
The band premiered a new orchestration of Rose of San Antoine that was delightful.
-
We are low on posts today.

Just stating the obvious.

Once sang that song in a church in downtown San Jose. The acoustics made us common folk sound like the Mormon Tabernacle bunch from that other faith in Utah.
-
At the same time the acoustics were such you couldn’t make out a damn word the priest said.

I was living with my uncle’s family out there and was gently forced to go to church, having more or less avoided it since I was 13 or so.

No, but someone is coming on Tuesday to take a look.

Just to get them to the door will cost me $89.00.

I'll explain what happened, they'll evaluate, then give me a price for the work.

I was told that they should be able to do any work when they get there, so that's good.
