I dreamed I was in a rehearsal room at Carrol Studios on West 55th Stree. "Many a N from Oklahoma! was being rehearsed and we needed tape for something, so I wandered off to find some. I ended up in a studio where Elliot Lawrence was conducting something, and I had to wait while he finished the number. When I woke, Gershwin's "How Long Has this Been Going On" was stuck in my head.

I spent too much time on Amazon yesterday looking at carts. I need one 11.5-14 inches wide and no longer than 26 inches. And . . . it has to be sturdy. The closest thing I've found so far is this. It's about 4 inches wider than I would like, but it looks very sturdy, and fits my apartment decor, which is Early Warehouse.
Title: Re: THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: elmore3003 on March 16, 2025, 05:11:33 AM
This is what I have with the lousy wheels. I like the look, but the width, when you lose 3/4 of an inmch for the sidses of the tiers, is only 11 inches, and I'd like a bit more width.
Title: Re: THE HOME STRETCH

BK mentions audience-clapping-in-rhythm in the notes.

We suffer from that in this production, aided and abetted by the cast starting it themselves on the first of our three (3) repeats of the title song which is what the Curtain Music (note: not "Bows") in Hello, Dolly! consists of.

Title: Re: THE HOME STRETCH
Post by: ChasSmith on March 16, 2025, 06:28:17 AM
Anyway, I hate the practice. When I'm in an audience that starts it, I either stop clapping entirely or I clap faster and more furiously the normal way.

It's a perfect reason to eliminate bow music. I applaud it, and not in rhythm.

I left a small set of wind chimes on the ground.

There’s a house near us, not technically in our neighborhood but you have to drive by it to get to our house. In front of it is a mold-covered 1970s camper, a 30-foot 1970s U-Haul truck, a moldy boat, also about 30 feet. A normal car, and part of a catamaran. The owner is rarely there.

It doesn’t stress me out personally, but Mrs R finds it quite appalling. I had to laugh when driving the kids to school the other morning and my son pointed out the latest addition: A blue 2-seater airplane.

Happy Sunday, all (I had to get it in there before I start thinking it's Friday).

We are now several hours past the halfway point of March 2025.

On the other hand, there are still far too many months until November 2028 when we (hopefully) get to elect a real president.

I had to go back and look for Chow Chow.  LOL, I wasn't expecting that one.  I was thinking maybe the Black Cake or one of the other cakes.

There’s a house near us, not technically in our neighborhood but you have to drive by it to get to our house. In front of it is a mold-covered 1970s camper, a 30-foot 1970s U-Haul truck, a moldy boat, also about 30 feet. A normal car, and part of a catamaran. The owner is rarely there.

It doesn’t stress me out personally, but Mrs R finds it quite appalling. I had to laugh when driving the kids to school the other morning and my son pointed out the latest addition: A blue 2-seater airplane.

The neighbor across from us -- the one with two gutted trailers, two diesel trucks with utility trailers, four cars in the driveway, and three cars that he parks in front of various neighbors' houses -- once parked a plane in front of my house.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

And speaking of Wendy's, there's finally going to be a Wendy's in Tumwater!  There's been some industrial construction in front of the Tumwater Home Depot, and one of the new businesses will be a Wendy's!  I don't know when it'll open, but I'm sure that it'll be quite busy when it eventually does.
