Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sure and begorrah, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're at the pub singing When Irish Eyes Are Mooing.
-
And the word of the day is: OSMIC!
-
Welcome three GUESTS. Who are you people? Sorry the notes went up so late.
-
If all the H/Ks truly vomit on the ground, we'll be in osmic overload.

Sally Durant Plumber is an honorary Colleen for the day.

DR Tomovoz, your "naughty boy" crack from yesterday's postings had me laughing! :)

TOTD. I don't celebrate St Pat's day. It's not really acknowledged much here and baseball is very much a minor sport in OZ. I'd rather watch croquet!
-
Thank you DR Swingdoor. I wondered it there was anyone out there!! I was tempted to use an Inn of the Sixth Happiness reference instead but thought being St Pat's day (here at the time) I maybe Nick Nack Paddy Wacked.

I reckon not many Irish prisoners were sent to the colony of Australia, eh?

I think I just overlooked a four leaf clover.

I definitiely have the Irish in me, although my English and German roots predominate my nature.

Oh, yes...that's probably the one that I overlooked before.

I have no idea what that means. I suspect FJL is to blame and not Jose.

Good morning DR RLP. Welsh/Scottish here so St Andrew and St David take precedence.
-
Do not anyone ask me what I am doing "up" at this hour. It's an allergy thing.
Have taken a pill and am waiting for it to relieve some of the sinus pressure that woke me up.
-
Thank you Ron. It's half over! Good lucK with the allergies war.
-
"Allergies" being a Paul Simon reference. ("Hearts & Bones")
-
I have some Dutch in me....that's a passle of saints in itself, including St. Barbara, St. Willibrord and St. Vitus.
Dance, anyone?
-
Thank you Ron. It's half over! Good lucK with the allergies war.
Ah, yes. Those fleeting weekends down under. Monday will soon be upon ye....and it will be like every Monday...and Tuesday...and Wednesday...and....will it not?
:)

Down by the old mill stream...
-
The Irish were sent here Ron. Australian Folk music is very "Irish". For some reason we revere "Ned Kelly" the bushranger! Perhaps we did not have that many "Free" Irish settlers.

There were so many potent alignments yesterday that it is important to consider how many of them will be influencing humanity today. The Moon shift into Pisces last night adds a gentle touch to today's proceedings. Be more compassionate and empathic to the truly needy. Weather permitting, water sports may be back in style during the entire weekend. Antique hunters and treasure seekers can be in their glory since the Jupiter-Saturn, Mercury-Pluto and Venus-Pluto powerhouse aspects from Friday are still glowing like hot coals. Recall that the Jupiter-Saturn trine in fire signs can serve as a launching pad for reaching your educational and career goals. A big event this afternoon is Venus entering its earthy home sign of Taurus (3:02PM PDT) until April 11. Venus in Taurus is a boost for planting, gardening, nature excursions, cooking, baking, business matters and real-estate interests. Be prepared for surprises and shock waves on the romantic front this evening as Venus in Aries makes a frictional 45-degree sky pattern with Uranus in Pisces (10:58PM PDT). This mischief-making between Venus and Uranus occurs just 29 minutes before the monthly Moon-Uranus union in Pisces (11:27PM PDT). If love ties are a bit shaky right now, you may want to utilize the late-evening hours for scientific, metaphysical and astrological studies. Learn more about the lost continent of Atlantis, The Great Pyramid, Stonehenge and the enigmas of the ancient world. A mineral bath or whirlpool treatment can soothe tired muscles and nerves.

I don't remember doing anything special on any particular St Patrick's Day.
Maybe today will be different.
Did DR RODZINSKI return from California?
-
Everyone should go to the flea market today.....
-
Hi, DR BEN!
-
Wasn't "Faith and Begorrah" a spinoff from "Laverne & Shirley"?
-
Great Frank photo, DR TCB.
Isn't the play that MR BK mentions in the notes the play that you were in last year?
-
WOW! That will be about enough of me for this morning.
Off to work!
-
Good Morning!
Well, I did not laze in bed this morning... Alas, the sound of the sidewalk being dug out and de-iced sort of woke me up, but that was OK since today (and tomorrow) are work days for me anyway, so..
I'm up.
-
Mornin' all. I just caught up from yesterday.
-
And I've had my oatmeal and coffee. Yes, I decided I needed some coffee this morning.
*I had forgotten just how tiring a "normal" work week can be at times. -And since my work week runs Tuesday-Sunday, 10-6... -And since I'm playing another audition session on Monday... No day off for me this week. Or next. But since I basically just came off a two month "vacation".... No complaints.
-
Let's see.....in me:
Irish, English, Swedish, Black German
But not all in the same weekend.
Amateur.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
The only thing interesting I remember doing for St. Patrick's Day was making sure I wore something green to school (high school) so that I wouldn't have to wear my uniform. -I went to a private, Catholic high school. Thankfully, the bit of green was covered by the "tag" you bought from the Key Club or some other school service organization who sold them for a $1.00 as a fundraiser. We couldn't dress down completely, but we did get a break from the blue and gray woolens for the day.
-
And now...
PAGE THREE!!!
*I shall refrain from dancing since the rest of my apartment mates are still sleeping. But feel free to dance on your own.
-
And now I believe it's time for me to get ready to head down to Chelsea for rehearsals... So...
Laters...
-
Good Morning, DRs elmore, Ben, Michael S!
-
I saw that SEESAW tour and liked Lucie Arnaz.....Tommy Tune not so much....and John Gavin quite a bit.
The tour was somewhat different from Broadway show. The songs Spanglish & Ride Out the Storm were dropped. They really had nothing to do with the show as they were written especially for the performers (Bennett protegees at the time) I have the broadway script and the scenes can be easily dropped without ruining the flow of the plot.
Also a new song was written for Lucie Arnez called The Party's One Me which was written as the act one finale.
It is said to be the last lyric that Dorothy Fields ever wrote.
I have never heard the song performed and as far as I know it only has been recorded once on the album Cy Coleman: The Party's On Me and sung by Laurie Beechman, Patti Austin and others.
BK Recorded the dropped song Big Fat Heart on Lost In Boston 3 and on Sally Mayes Dorothy Fields Album they recorded Tutu and Tights.
The cut song More People Like You was recorded on An Evening With Dorothy Fields
One more thing:
The song Poor Everyone Else was a trunk song. It was originally written for Sweet Charity.
Where else can you learn onformation like this but here!

And the top of the morning to you Jose.
or the bottom of the mornining to you Jose.
Whichever you prefer.

Wasn't "Faith and Begorrah" a spinoff from "Laverne & Shirley"?
Wasn't that the name of the "comedy" series with Kelly Rippa & Faith Ford?
-
Good morning, all! Happy St Patrick's Day. I'm sure that our E&T DR DakotaCelt and her coven are all a-tizzie today.
In 1974, I drove in to New York with two friends to see the revival of CANDIDE that just opened at the Broadway Theatre. We spent a part of Saturday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and got caught in the St Patrick's Day parade as we scrambled for a taxi to get to the matinee of PIPPIN. And that's my only memory of St Patrick's Day, except for the gay protests in front of St Patrick's cathedral.
DR Jose, what are the dates for "Earnest In Love"?
-
I will also pipe in about the notes posted last night.
Yes I believe that Mr. Cason Murphy does have a future and I hope to get house seats from him for many years to come.
Egbert who played the Brain loved his voice and he can have a career as a Voice Over artist.
The General was, at least at the performance I saw, the most undisciplined actor I ever saw on stage. He killed so many of the jokes. And had a hard time understand what he was saying and he had a microphone! he raced through his dialogue!
And yes the actor who played Private Parts stole the stage every time he was onstage with the General. He had no dialogue but stole the spot light from the actor.
And one of the actors from the show stated that he might have been having a shot or too many before the show.
-
Saturday morning greetings!
DR JRand's astrological forecast makes it sound like a good day for people to visit a used book sale! I'm working at ours from noon-4. Yesterday they took in more than $4000!

Top o' the (still) Mornin'! I didn't get much sleep but I feel rested for the moment. That will probably vanish in a few minutes and I'll go back to bed.
Top(ic) o' the Day: My favorite St. Patrick's Day was about 20 years ago. One of my best friends was a runner and I was a very sporadic jogger. Murphy's, an Atlanta instituiton with Irish roots, was sponsoring a 5K. I figured I could do that, even if I ended up walking at the end. We ran through lovely neighborhoods in Virginia-Highlands. I made really great time (for me) and was proud to have made it through without having to walk. (It was very hilly terrain.)
Another runner there was a friend of my girlfriend, (a redhead named Siobhan---how Irish is THAT!) and he invited us over to cook brunch for us. We had broccoli diced up into scrambled eggs, making them kind of green and St. Patrick-y. But the memorable brunch ingredient was the friend he had invited who had also just run the race.
The first guy had been interested in dating my friend, but since she wasn't interested in anything more than friendship with him, he invited his friend---Sean Kelly (how Irish is THAT!) whom he thought might be someone she would like.
The four of us went out boulder scrambling...they loaned me a pair of those sticky rock climbing shoes, but I didn't really see the appeal. But I did enjoy watching the immediate chemistry these two had and felt that history was in the making.
That night, I had gotten tickets for us to go to see one of my favorite Irish bands, Patrick Street, with Kevin Burke--my favorite Irish musician. We had gone together to see them many times in the past. Sean joined us, (it turned out he was a musician who used to play in a band with some friends of mine from high school) and it was a terrific concert.
Afterwards, I introduced my two friends to Kevin. "This is my friend Siobhan and her future husband, Sean". They both looked at me like I was insane.
A few years later, I was her Maid of Honor at a beautiful wedding under the Wyoming skies with the Wind River Mountains in the background. (Both being outdoorsy types, they had moved there the year before.)
I am happy to have been there when the sparks flew! A Happy St. Patrick's Day, indeed!
-
TOD - the only St. Patrick's Day I remember distinctly was 1973, the year I was in grad school at Michigan. We had a late winter blizzard that paralyzed Ann Arbor and freaked out my good friend and her husband, Californians who had come to the midwest for that one year of school and went back to CA just as soon as their degrees were complete. I'll see her this summer in DC and will ask if she remembers that snowstorm.
-
And the word of the day is: OSMIC!
Der Grampa's older grandlad, Alex, has repeatedly told us that he will not like any food that offends his OSMIC sense. This does not explain why he refuses to eat salad, however, since lettuce has little, if any, smell.
-
"Allergies" being a Paul Simon reference. ("Hearts & Bones")

What a sweet story, DR Edi!
-
...I'd rather watch croquet!
Isn't that the thing women do with yarn and a hooked needle?
-
I've always wanted to learn to croquet. My mother-in-law tried to teach me, but she's left-handed and I'm not, so it didn't work very well ;)
-
Off to the hairdresser's, errands, and the booksale!
Bye for now.
-
Everyone should go to the flea market today.....
Our dogs don't need any stinkin' fleas!
-
And it's already time for me to get ready for work.
Bright sunshine here in Rehoboth. I guess der Brucer gets to sleep in today, instead of driving me to work.
But I'll be wearing my St. Pat's hat today! Imagine an all-green Cat-in-the-Hat hat! Imagine it on top of someone six foot two!
;D
-
Good Morning! once again...
-Ya' know... It can be quite downright dangerous navigating the stairs out of the subway when they're still covered in two inches of packed slush and ice... YIKES!
-But I'm here.
-
Oh... I'm not wearing any green today... Oops!
;)
-
And I had to laugh at the coverage last night on the news of all the snow plows working on Fifth Avenue in order to get it cleared for the St. Patrick's Day parade today. They kept saying that the City of New York had a certain number of snow plows, and I swear half of them were on Fifth Avenue last night!
-
Good Morning, DR MusicGuy!
So... You did not answer my query from last night...
Where are we staying when during your visit to New York City?
;)
-
Good morning!
Much colder here today and will be even colder tomorrow, but then we start a warming trend to get back to spring.
It's otherwise beautiful outside, however, and I'm seeing buds of leaves on the trees that give a nice St. Patrick's Day flavor to the day.
-
Amateur.
Well I am NOT in show business. ;D
-
I have no St. Patrick's Day stories to relate. I do have some Irish in me (and I find Irish men incredibly sexy), but I have no memories of anything memorable happening on this day.
-
And while the actors are working out some choreography...
While walking through the hallways here yesterday, there was one girl I just wanted to slap across the face...
Oh! Hey what are you doing here?
-Her friend points to the sign on the door: Jersey Boys
OH!!! That's so cool, I'm so happy for you!
-Thanks. Yeah, this is my final callback... I really need to focus right now.
Oh, I totally understand (she gives him a big hug)...
-Thanks... I really need to focus...
Hey, Sabrina... Look who's here?!?!? -Michael is about to go into his Jersey Boys callback... Isn't that so cool!!
-Michael finally starts to walk away...
Hey! I really hope your audition goes well.. That really is soooo cool...
-And that was about the point where I wanted to slap her across the face... Leave Him Alone, Bi-Yatch!. Alas, I had to get back to my rehearsal... Talk about a missed opportunity. ;D
-
Good Morning, DR MusicGuy!

Good morning dear studly and pixie-like Jose..... you temptress! I'm not sure about hotel location yet, but I was thinking of coming in to NYC on Monday the 25th of June, and maybe spending about 3 days or so. I have a few friends spread all over Manhattan, from down in the Village to up north of Harlem, so I get my choice of the city top to bottom. I think you are currently up north....are you above 125th street?
Also, Fred had asked about the dates, so once again, I think arrive on June 25th. I was really sorry that Fred and Skip had their trip to L.A. get screwed up, 'cause I was looking forward to meeting them.
-
I hope to get to SUPERNATURAL, ANDY BARKER, P.I. and THE PERILS OF PAULINE on the DVR this afternoon and early evening.
And if the Blu-ray of CASINO ROYALE comes in the mail today as I'm hoping, that's what I'll watch tonight. If not, I'll put in the Blu-ray of A HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY to watch.

Oh, and dear Jose.... I'll expect you to have your "catholic school boy" uniform all cleaned and ready to wear when I take you out. Maybe I'll bring a "clicker" to use at you, if you misbehave! :)
-
Well, huzzah, hoo-ray, and HEE-HAH ........ a brand spanking new page 4 Mixaxe .
-
DR MusicGuy - Should your "care package" be arriving today? -I hope.
-
Oh, and dear Jose.... I'll expect you to have your "catholic school boy" uniform all cleaned and ready to wear when I take you out. Maybe I'll bring a "clicker" to use at you, if you misbehave! :)
Well, I do have a wooden ruler for your use... You know, the kind with the little metal edge...
Mea culpa, mea culpa....
-
I'm gonna pop out for now......it's errand time. I always kind of cringe today, because it only takes about 10 seconds for me to reach my fill of "bad, amateur, put-on" Irish accents.
But a friend is visiting here in Phoenix at the moment, and he is born in Ireland and then moved here to the U.S.. He was ordering a sandwich the other day from an immigrant Mexican waiter.....talk about a battle of accents, with each person looking at the other as if they were from the moon. My friend was ordering "a tearckeh kloob" ..... which of course, was a turkey club sandwich. He did describe his own Irish accent as "sounding like you are shoving a rusty shovel into gravel."
-
DR MusicGuy - Should your "care package" be arriving today? -I hope.
Well, because your package had some girth and weight to it, I sent it UPS ground. So it may arrive today, or it may be the first of the week.....but I'm hoping you'll be kind of delighted.
And yes,..... bring the ruler!
-

-

Well, he didn't mention anything about length.
-
Whatever happened to this being a family site?
Oh, it's a family site, all right! Here's the family portrait:

And there are all types of families...
There's the Dreamgirls type of family (as is in "We are a family...")...
And then there's the Sister Sledge type of family (as in "We Are Family!).

I just think there's something inherently funny about a green bagel...

Whoops! I think I just became the fish in the barrel.
-
I missed my rehearsal this morning. We only have street parking out here, and the car is walled in by the plows. I worked on it for more than an hour, and have quite a bit left to go. The sun is breaking through; perhaps that will aid the process.
-
Heading down now to check the mail and then start on lunch preparation.
WBBL.
-
Yes I love how they have that tender moment about everything for the family and family is the MOST important thing and everybody loves everybody....and in the next scene they kick her ass out of the group.
-
Lovely St Pat's memories.
And yes, DR GINNY - you should be deluged with book shoppers today.....simply crawling with them. We are quite busy here at WOW ourselves.
-
Have fun at rehearsal DR JOSE....and I say when a slap is called for - a slap it shall be!
A HHW Bitch Slap@ has rectified many sitchy-a-shuns.

Pogue must be basking in the glory of his accolades because he sure hasn't been around these here parts.
-
TCB - If National Pastime is the show you did, I'd love to hear about it, and hear how the play itself worked.
-
Oh, and I'm up.
-
If I drank coffee I'd have some Eyerish Coffee. Perhaps I'll have an Eyerish Diet Coke instead.
-
Yes, I believe Egbert has a good future ahead of him as well! His voice for the brain just always brings as big smile to my face!
And thank you Laura, Merrill is whose name would not come to me...such a cute gal and quite the actress! I wonder what she is doing now that she has returned to the east coast.
-
BK, Miss Leslie Parrish should be arriving in your mailbox anytime now...if she isn't there already.
-
I cannot think of any particularly special St. Patrick Days, but I do always try to wear some green....wouldn't want to get pinched!
-
Good day to HHW!
Haven't caught up on the posts yet, but will reply to SINGDAW from yesterday regarding Leonard Bernstein's YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONCERTS:
I'm really enjoying the series. The name of the series is a misnomer--they were designed for kids, of course, but Bernstein assumes a very great deal from such young people. I find that the series works on many levels. I've been listening to classical music for 25 years or more, listen to it daily, etc, and I'm learning a great deal. I usually watch each lecture/concert twice. There's a book, too--did you know that? I haven't seen it, but it's available on Amazon.
And thanks again to DR ELMORE and DR JOSE for recommending the series to me (and to other DRs as well who made such fine recommendations).
-

Thanks, DR Jeanne! Yes, I did know about the book, but imagine that it's more fun to view the programs in their originally intended medium.
I fear for the future of classical music. The way they keep cutting the arts from public education, there'll be no audience for it at all before long...

Dog Food Recall - Misleading?
The basic recall item (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,259223,00.html) read:
WASHINGTON —
A major manufacturer of pet foods sold throughout North America under dozens of store names is recalling millions of containers of its products while working to determine what caused kidney failure and some deaths of cats and dogs.
Menu Foods said Saturday it is recalling dog food sold under 46 brands and cat food sold under 37 brands and distributed throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The pet foods were sold by major retailers, including Wal-Mart, Kroger and Safeway.
A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates is available from the Menu Foods website, http://www.menufoods.com/recall. Consumers with questions can also call (866) 895-2708.
..
However, further down in the newstory we learn:
The company said it makes pet food for 17 of the top 20 North American retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food companies, including Procter & Gamble Co.
P&G announced Friday the recall of specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch cat and dog wet food products made by Menu Foods but sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands.
Note: the P&G premium products, Iams and Eukanuba, are NOT listed on the Menu Foods recall site! (Menu foods is not recalling them, P&G is.)
The basic story sure leads consumers to believe that only "STORE BRANDS" are suspect; and the web site in inadequate!

I fear for the future of classical music. The way they keep cutting the arts from public education, there'll be no audience for it at all before long...
I share your fears. I usually listen to the local classical music station each morning--wherever I'm living. We had a fairly good one here until recently--WGMS-FM--but it is no longer. National Public Radio has converted back to classical as a result, but without as much personality, IMHO. I liked hearing the latest Yoyo Ma and such; radio is a great way to hear new recordings.
-
BK, NATIONAL PASTIME is not an entirely new play. I played the role of Branch Rickey in a Tacoma production two years ago, and won Best Actor of the year for it. If the play is running two and a half hours, now; then Bryan has done a great deal of padding to the two hour play that I did.
-
I can't recall any interesting St Pat stories...
-
Yes, there's a bit of Irish in me, but mostly Czech.
-
Haven't caught up on posts???
Have finally done so, dear BK.

BK, NATIONAL PASTIME is not an entirely new play. I played the role of Branch Rickey in a Tacoma production two years ago, and won Best Actor of the year for it. If the play is running two and a half hours, now; then Bryan has done a great deal of padding to the two hour play that I did.
I suppose it could have been the pace of the production - it was very slow. Can you tell me a little about the style of your production, and if it had all that multiple narration going on?
-
...I have a few friends spread all over Manhattan, from down in the Village to up north of Harlem...
Sounds like the start of a bloody episode of Law & Order!

One of the faculty members played Branch - he's been an actor for fifty years, lots of TV and stuff, but I would love to have seen what you did, because this gentleman chose to add about five hundred "I means" and "you knows" during the play, which I found actorish and ultimately not very respectful of the writer.

Miss Leslie Parrish is in my mail box? That is a lovely thought.

My family immigrated from Ireland. They were actually English, but it's a long story involving Cromwell, and I don't know my history well enough to relate all the details.
My mother did all of our geneology research (she's a librarian, too) and found the name of the street in Ireland where her great-great-great-great(?) grandfather had had his grocery store.
I took her and her partner to Ireland last year, along with a few folks, and spent an extra day and rented a car so we could go to the town of Nenagh and walk down Silver Street.

Gotcha. And I am indeed above 125th Street. I'm at 145th.

Even though I'm Irish (with English thrown in as well) I have no memories of Saint Patrick's Day. I don't celebrate it as anything. I don't feel the need to do so.
The idiots in New York who claim to be Irish (many may well be) and use it as an excuse to drink themselves blind drunk and then puke all over the streets are revolting examples of Irish stock and I refuse to partake in the silliness.
Baseball??? As I said regarding camping a few weeks ago, are you crazy???
Actually, it's not as severe as that but I've never played baseball and I have no interest in watching it. Unlike football which I loathe, mainly because it's been turned into some kind of faux religious experience, I don't dislike baseball, I just have no interest in it. I also have no interest in most major sports. Hockey "I went to a fight last night, a hockey game broke out". Basketball, I'm 5' 3" tall now, I was shorter in junior high and high school. I was harassed in gym class because of basketball. I do not care for the game. I do not understand it and I do not care to learn anything more about it.
And that, ladies and germs, is the end of my rant.

Talk dirty to them.

Bk, yes the play had mulitiple-narrations from Red Barber and Wendell Smith (doing the major part), Mrs Rickey, Jackie's mother, his wife, etc. But since it was done as a memory play starting and ending with the Hall of Fame ceremony; I thought it worked effectively. The scenes seemed to flow pretty quickly using only lighting changes on different parts of the stage. The only set was the baseball diamond and the bleachers.
If you are interested, I would be happy to send you a DVD of our production.
-
I hope to get to SUPERNATURAL, ANDY BARKER, P.I. and THE PERILS OF PAULINE on the DVR this afternoon and early evening.
And if the Blu-ray of CASINO ROYALE comes in the mail today as I'm hoping, that's what I'll watch tonight. If not, I'll put in the Blu-ray of A HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY to watch.
I should think you'd reserve today for Green-Rays only.

TCB, I'd love to see the DVD. It sounds like the play is the same and that the director might be the "pace" culprit. The show was certainly done simply, with most of it done, as you say, through light changes.

We toured Ireland with the Dady Brothers, who are from New England but tour all over. After a day of sightseeing, they would playing in the clubs, and if no clubs were avaialbe, musicians from the area would gather at our hotels and they would have jam sessions.
The Dadys are extremely talented musicians and can play a variety of instruments...in a variety of ways!

I decided, several months ago, that I had no desire to see the Michael York's touring production of CAMELOT (not that there is anything wrong with it). Yesterday, I found out that James Barbour is playing Lancelot. So..... I am reviewing the situation.

Good day to HHW!
Haven't caught up on the posts yet, but will reply to SINGDAW from yesterday regarding Leonard Bernstein's YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONCERTS:
I'm really enjoying the series. The name of the series is a misnomer--they were designed for kids, of course, but Bernstein assumes a very great deal from such young people. I find that the series works on many levels. I've been listening to classical music for 25 years or more, listen to it daily, etc, and I'm learning a great deal. I usually watch each lecture/concert twice. There's a book, too--did you know that? I haven't seen it, but it's available on Amazon.
And thanks again to DR ELMORE and DR JOSE for recommending the series to me (and to other DRs as well who made such fine recommendations).
I'm wondering if Leonard bernstein's "Omnibus" series episodes are available on DVD... Hmm...
(Time to head to Amazon...)
-
Jose, when you have a chance, could you explain again about this production? Is it just going to be done at Westport, or does it hopefully have higher ambitions? Is this the same show that was previously called OVER AND OVER?
-
Hmm... I guess Mr. Barbour's legal problems have been taken care of then.
Oh?
-
I share your fears. I usually listen to the local classical music station each morning--wherever I'm living. We had a fairly good one here until recently--WGMS-FM--but it is no longer. National Public Radio has converted back to classical as a result, but without as much personality, IMHO. I liked hearing the latest Yoyo Ma and such; radio is a great way to hear new recordings.
...And I have to say it was kind of "cool" how WGMS stopped depending on "Classical Music's Greatest Hits" to fill their programming when WETA went to the all news format. And they even picked up "From The Top"- which has to be my favorite NPR music program. -Those are some talented kids! -And I've always appreciated Christopher O'Riley's talent (and looks, truth be told).
-But now that WGMS is now long gone, and WETA has gone back to playing music... Well, I guess it's better than nothing.
And isn't the DC area, as a result of all the format changes, one of those "rare" major metropolitan areas that does not have a station that carries the weekly broadcasts from The Metropolitan Opera?
-
Back from the jog - easier today. Shall now catch my breath, and then start writing - I got a good idea on the jog, and I have to go back, either to the last chapter or the chapter before and add it. Then, as a result, I have a really good way to end this chapter.
-
Jose, when you have a chance, could you explain again about this production? Is it just going to be done at Westport, or does it hopefully have higher ambitions? Is this the same show that was previously called OVER AND OVER?
Well, as I understand it...
All About Us started off originally at Over and Over when it premiered at Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA in 1998 (I think it was 1998). The it became Skin of Our Teeth for a while (note the absence of the "The" in the title) for a while, and now it's All About Us.
Right now, it's simply a Westport Country Playhouse production. Of course, people would love for it to come into New York, but as many people have learned over the years, sometimes treating an out-of-town production as simply an out-of-town production is the best way to get a show to get to The Broadway. Otherwise, people's energies and focus are not truly on the work at hand. -Counting your chickens and all that jazz...
*In fact, we don't say the "B-Word" in rehearsal. ;)

My first visit to New York City was over St. Patrick's Day 1969. I think, at that time, he was still only blessed. Anyway, I was so excited that I could see the St Patty's Day Parade. Boring!

Hi. I just caught up to your post.
Sherlock is the same thank you. He wants to jump & play & we do our best to keep him quiet so he doesn’t do more damage.
The surgery is set for April 6th. Originally we just had an appointment for an exam on the 5th with the intention we would return to Portland if surgery is necessary. I convinced them to set aside time for the surgery since the odds are he will need it. We don’t want to drag this out any longer than necessary.

Nope, the little leprechaun I'm holding in my hand in my avatar (DH)...but Boo-Key and the Leprechaun would take the annual dip in the pool as the traditional opening to St. Pat's Day back in Texas when DS was a wee lad....and trust me there are some years March in Texas can be pretty cold ....did someone mention shrinkage?....

It’s St. Patrick’s day. You wear green & maybe make fun cookies. We went to a party once but it was boring & it was the weekend before the 17th.. The only real Patrick’s Day I even remember is the day my sister was married. It was definitely a memorable day, yet just a drop of water in a bucketful of memorable incidents with my family.
It was a small ceremony with just the immediate family & a couple of friends. I was insulted my fiancé wasn’t invited & wanted to protest. He didn’t want to go & was relieved to have been overlooked. The bride was pregnant. The groom was drunk & stopped to pee in front of the court house. My brother & I were horrified, the bride thought it was hysterical. The mother of the bride was also drunk. The judge thank goodness did a fine job & later married my brother & his wife.
Definitely a memorable Saint Patrick’s day. ;D

JRand it was far from the best of marriages. Actually the judge didn’t have a good record when it came to marrying my siblings, they both ended up divorced & neither remarried.

So, I was asked to do a song at the Barbara Deutsch Do tomorrow night. Additionally, I was asked to write some parody lyrics to Mame. So, I asked her best friend Alison to send me a list of Barbara habits. She did, but way too late for me to write a parody lyric. Meantime, I couldn't figure out what song to sing that would mean anything - then I had a stroke of luck and it came to me that I could just take Alison's list and set it to music. Which I did, quickly. And it's really funny. I actually got everything to scan correctly by just adding a word or two here and there, and moving things around.

Hi, TCB! Yes, I caught up. I went off for brunch with my DH, and had scrambled eggs with broccoli in honor of my friends' first meeting. Yummm!
We were walking around the back of the restaurant and saw some folks loading in film equipment. It turned out to be some friends of Greg's who were shooting a music video, so we helped them load in their gear. We may go back up tonight to hear hte band while they're shooting. It's country music, not my fave, but it would be interesting to see a band play in this space, which is an old movie theatre which hasn't been used in decades.

Hey! One of my dearest friends is playing King Pellinore in that tour!
The Channel 21 Begathon is on, and they're punishing me with Lawrence Welk! Why is 6 PM such a pathetic viewing time of Saturdays?

Hello, Ben.

Hello, Sally!

Oh, please. . . . . :P

Now, heading downstairs to begin my evening of TV viewing.
WBBL.

My life-long best friend just moved to Dallas a couple of months ago. Will S & V be shown in the Atlanta area any time soon? I would love to get him to come see the film.
We're having a hard time finding a place to screen here because there are no theatres that project video, unless they hire a projector for a film festival. We're trying to work something out, though, so I'll keep you posted. I'd like to meet your friend anyway, and he probably has to drive through Marietta frequently...
-
DR edisaurus - So, after reading your posts, I'm guessing Saturday afternoon is your only free time slot to catch another show?
That's right. We're certainly grabbing for the gusto!
-
I've been watching a strange motion picture on DVD entitled A Dandy In Aspic, a film I've always wanted to see - its director, Anthony Mann, died during filming, and star Laurence Harvey finished it.
-
DR SWW, I am trying to declutter and I have some episodes of Good Eats that Alton gave me before I started working on the show, since I had never seen it. (Much to his dismay...) I think I also have copies of some of their old scripts.
The 6 episodes are on VHS. I don't know what season they're from or if they've been released but if not I'd be happy to pass them on to you if you'd like them. They are:
Flap Jack, Do It Again
Head Games
Mission Poachable
Behind the Bird
American Pickle
The Case of Butter
(Seeing these titles, I realize that HHW should be giving him titles!)
PM me your address if you'd like them, otherwise I will be tossing them...

François, in case you log in later, I'm on Showtime this week with a review of Mary Poppins. It seems to be rather early, about 20 to 25 minutes into the show. By the time you get to it the show should be on Listen Again. You know the drill so enjoy My Gallic Friend.

That really is a beautiful place.

All six of these episodes are on DVD. But maybe Jose would like them! (He's also a fan of the show.)
Scripts, on the other hand, are always fun to read and study! I'd enjoy them a great deal if you've got them.
-
Thank you, SS!
That is, of course, Super Stud.

Pellinore??? Good Lord, he must be older than I!

I can't say that I've done anything more interesting on St. Paddy's Day than what's called for--get rip-roaring drunk.

Pellinore??? Good Lord, he must be older than I!
Not neccesarily. Some actors are quite adept at using makeup to age themselves.
Not that you'll ever need that skill, I am sure! ::)

Great! I have season 3 in a binder which includes shooting scripts, recipes, etc. It's pretty big and heavy so I will send it book rate. You may want to put it in a new binder---this one is a bit beat up but the pages are perfect.
I'm so glad when I find a way to recycle things to people who would like them!
-

That is true, there aren't many parts around that would require me to look older. Unless, of course, they write a play about you and derBrucer ::)

Whew! Just caught up with today's posts. Thought I'd have time to chat, but it's time to add the cabbage to the simmering corned beef. That's my St Pat's tradition.
-
TOD - In 1982 I fell in love....it lasted until 1983, but was one of those wild crazy intense romances that I am glad I got to experience. I'm a little Irish, but I don't think Mark was...so not necessarily the luck if the Irish that we met that day
-
Good Evening!
Well, I stopped by Jamba Juice on the way home and in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I ordered a Green Tea Matcha Blast. -So, I guess that was more Japanese-Irish, but at least it was green.
-
It is March 18th here so we can celebrate the birthday of Irene Cara.
As an 8 year old Miss Cara was in the cast of Maggie Flynn. Thus there is still an Irish reference.
The #1 hit on St Pat's day 1958 was "Tequila" which is not exactly Irish.

Hmm... I thinking I'm going to make a New England Boiled dinner on Monday. (Since there was no way I was going to be able to make one today.) -And I always put extra potatoes in for the hash the next morning(s).

Although, the possible after-effect of Tequila and Green Beer is basically universal.

Today/Tomorrow (March 18) is also the birthday of one of the patron saints of HHW -Wilson Pickett. This is the site of 1,000 Dances is it not.

News Flash! I just received a call from the vet in Portland. They had a cancellation for this Thursday & gave the space to Sherlock. His surgery will be on Friday.
Yes, two fewer weeks we have to wait!!!!
Gotta play with the guy now.
-
Woofs. From Magnus and Fosca DR Jose.
-
DR edisaurus - I believe I shall pass on the VHS copies of "Good Eats". When I bring up "Food TV On Demand", there are usually a couple of ep's there to keep me entertained. *And I truly think there may be only one or two episodes that I have never seen as it is.

Hi Danise.
Keith is outside & he I need to entertain Sherlock.

Nice to see you as well, DR Tomovoz!

Hi Danise.

Until I can find it, how is Sherlock and why is he going in for surgery?
You all have heard about the dog food recall?

That's absolutely wonderful news, Jane! We will be thinking of him on Friday and wish him happy healing.
-
DR edisaurus - Something you may - or may not want to know - about AVENUE Q right now... Apparently, whatever bug that is making the rounds here in New York City - especially among people working in usually inadequately ventilated and poorly temperature-controlled "closed environments" - has struck the residents of The Golden big time over the past week. In fact, there were two nights last week where the whole company onstage was composed of stand-bys and understudies. -And there was one night where they almost had to cancel the show since almost everyone called in sick and/or the stage manager almost had to go on. So... It may be another week or two before things at The Golden - and every other theatre in town - get back to "normal".
What I'd suggest is just to check on tickets when you get into town. By that time, the house row and the "premium seats" - if still available - may have been released. *Although, the premium seats for the matinees of Avenue Q are only $50.00 more than the regularly priced seats, so... But I'll still check availability for you.
-
Hey, Danise! We've been missing you!
-
Hey, Jose---where is my Oscar prize? You didn't even wear the bow!
-
My news of the week is that while walking of the mean steets of Tampa on Wednesday, I tripped and almost took a real header. I caught myself but my big toe on my left side (the one that got caught and made me trip) is hurting big time. It's not broken but if I stand or walk around a little while, I'm limping and have to sit down.
If it's still bothering me on Monday, I guess I'll have to go to the doctor and have it looked at.
-
Hey, Danise! We've been missing you!
Hi Edisaurus! I miss you all as well. Between the trip I had this week, I've been doing battle with HARTLINE (our bus service) which wants to cut the part of the route that includes my stop.
-
Hey, Jose---where is my Oscar prize? You didn't even wear the bow!
Ummm.... Yes, I was.

-
DR Danise, it's good to see you. Now go see a doctor!
DR Jose, what about EARNEST IN LOVE?????
-
After eating a big lunch at the Indian place I worked the rest of the afternoon in the yard...lawn mowed...flowers planted...berry bushes and rose bushes (ouch) cut back..etc, etc, etc.
Freddy and Dog Bosco supervised. They are both taskmasters.
I am now bruised, bloodied (damn rose bushes), and sore so I will flop on my couch like so much fish and stare at the television box.
-
Hear! Hear!
"Avenue Q Tips" is the title of my new musical comedy revue that takes place in a Wax Museum!
-
DR Elmore3003, for your information I have already made the acquaintance of some of Salem's finest...don't know if they were Irish, however.
-
Oy! Those Burger King commercials with that fool dressed up as a cardboard king really freak me out. Scary!

Looks like I will have the opportunity to meet several cast members of PASSIONS while I am assisting Laurie Mitchell at her table during the Ray Courts Show...I hope they will sit across from us so that we have some nice scenery to enjoy.....
...unlike last time when all we had to look at was a couple of former child actors who did not age well and Shirley Jones' husband.

But I'm sick of doctors...... :P

I’m feeling very pleased with myself. For days now Keith has insisted his cell phone is lost. Every time I began looking for it he said “I looked, it isn’t there”. Well, guess who just found his cell phone. :D
He kept insisting he looked in ALL his coats. Of course he missed one.
This isn’t the first time I have found something he insisted couldn’t be found. ;D

Dansie before you go to the doctor, ask if they can even do anything for the toe. Usually they just tape the sore one to the toe next to it & say that is all that can be done.
I will email you about Sherlock.

Oh!

Nulle part excepté ici!
-
That's why I didn't really bother going to the doctor. I'm not sure they can do anything for a toe, even if it's broken. Which mine isn't. I can move it--it's just when I put weight on the foot that it hurts.
I'm sorry to hear that Sherlock is having a problem. Poor baby.

It's amazing how corned beef shrinks up like bacon does. I bought a fairly large one and there is maybe just enough for a leftover meal.

-Sometimes I just like need a little push to get things done. In any case...
Ernest In Love starts next Tuesday, March 20, and then runs for two weeks. *It's too bad that George Irving won't be in for this show - since this season of Musicals Tonight was dedicated to him, and features show that he was in the original casts of. In any case... The second week of the run works better for me.
*And they're now at the Promenade Theatre instead of the 45th (44th?) Street theatre. Which is a good thing.
OH! And tonight was my last chance to catch The Happy Time. Ah, well... :(

DR Danise, I broke my big toe a number of years ago. There's nothing you can do about it. They told me to use crutches, but I chose to walk with a cane. It took awhile to heal.
-
And with that, I'd better get dinner going.
Leftover corned beef, taters, beets and carrots.

I could put weight on my toe and it moved a little, but x-rays showed a hairline fracture. At first they didn't see it so they told me to wear something soft..then they saw it and told me to wear something sturdy...they just couldn't make up their minds. The cane was fun and I played it to the hilt ;D but frankly, the toe hurt way too badly to walk without it.
-

Our local store, Winn Dixie, only had 3 left last night. One very small. The 2nd was an ok size (and the one I would have bought) but it was mostly fat. Last was a large one--which is the one I bought.
-
I told you not to walk those streets in that pathetic drag!

I might have to go the cane route.
What's wild about this is that one lady fell last year and broke her foot. A few weeks ago another fell and hit her face. If it hadn't been cold, she would have tore up her hands and arms but she had gloves and a jacket on. Then the day after I took my little trip, some one else fell flat as well. All of us work on the 22nd floor.
I told our director that the streets of Tampa are out to get the county employees who work downtown! :)

Ate at Shula's steak house with some friends visiting from Scottsdale, Arizona.
One of them saw Avenue Q this past Thursday and loved it. If there were understudies on, it didn't seem to bother her. She had seen it previously in Vegas, and said the experience of seeing it with an enthusiastic New York audience made her glad she had seen it again.

Just watched THE SNIPER (1951) which played on TCM earlier this week...man, I nearly jumped out of my skin a couple of times! Good movie!
Now I want to watch a Bollywood movie...I have just around 90 or so unwatched Bollywood DVDs...and out of all of those many films in my cabinet the one that I want to see I can't find!!!!
-
Shows how much I know about being Irish...it didn't even occur to me why there were sooooo many packages of corned beef everytime I went to the grocery store this week! LOL!
I don't think any stores sold out, however.

And what's more, I did not wear any green today...and not a single person tried to pinch me. :(

I actually meant no slight to the stand-bys and understudies in Avenue Q. In fact, two of them have been with the show since the workshops. *And I actually like one of the understudies better in a certain role more than the overstudy, so... But that's besides the point.
I know some of the former cast members of the Vegas company, and the horror stories they've told me about that whole experience out there. Las Vegas is not a theatre town. Not by a long shot. And when the management decides to allow food and drinks in the theatre... And when members of the audience donn't realize it was a two act show (at least before it got cut down to 90 minutes)... Mayhem and misery are bound to occur. And it did. In spades! (-Get it, "spades", a gambling reference... Vegas... Well...)
-
And what's more, I did not wear any green today...and not a single person tried to pinch me. :(
Well, on your next trip out to New York City...
-
I finished the POIROT episode called "The Chocolate Box." I guess I've seen it fewer times than many of the others because I didn't remember the identity of the murderer. It came as a complete surprise.
-
I've just been watching that Food Network Star Kitchen Makeover program on FoodTV... I wish Alton Brown would makeover my kitchen! AND let me do a cameo on "Good Eats"!
The color scheme was a bit too "bright" for me, but the appliances, the countertops, the storage, the double ovens, the two sinks (both with disposals), the pop-up shelf for the stand mixer, the extra-wide refrigerator, the new home office, the new dining room, etc.... I WANT IT ALL!!!!
-
And since tomorrow is a work day for me... It's off to the Land of the Wussburgers I go...
Goodnight.
-
Next, I watched ANDY BARKER, P.I., the new comedy series starring Andy Richter. It was pleasantly silly with a slight little missing persons mystery. Not especially funny really, but it was great to see Harve Presnell in a nice supporting part. Looks like he's going to be on the show as a regular. I'll continue watching.
-
I've got a kitchen they can redo....
-
Then I put on the Blu-ray version of CASINO ROYALE. The transfer was every bit as good as I was hoping, and the Bahamas scenes in particular were eye popping. All of the lush interior scenes (the poker tournament, their hotel rooms, and the dining room) also looked lush and very three dimensional.
I'd still say that MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III is the zenith so far of visual quality on Blu-ray that I've seen (others say KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is, but I don't have that and am not likely to get it.)

Jose - I didn't think you were slighting them, not in the least. Sorry if it seemed I was saying that. Just wanted to reflect that seeing the show with a typical NYC audience may be a more alive experience than seeing it on tour, this show more than so many oitehrs.
And it IS interesting, as you note, that the great premium seats are "only" $50 more for many performances than the regular price seats that are available. The marketing on Avenue Q in NYC has been really smart (in a good way), and it lets people feel they're getting something really special (the premium seats) at a relatively small bump-up compared to the premium bump-up for most shows.

I watched the first featurette on the disc - "Becoming Bond" which went into some slight detail about the selection of Daniel Craig for the role and the filming of the movie with him (along with comments from several of the other leading actors.)

Finished the evening watching the last half hour of a LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT episode on NBC-HD. This was the one with young actors making an internet movie where things get out of hand and someone gets killed by accident. OK episode but not one of the best.
-
Tomorrow, I'll still have two items on my DVR to watch: THE PERILS OF PAULINE with Betty Hutton and Thursday night's SUPERNATURAL.
I haven't decided which movie I'll watch tomorrow. I want to get the DVR cleared off first to make way for Sunday night's shows that will need to be recorded.

Skip tells me David Hasselhoff was sitting in the same row as he was on Wednesday night at CURTAINS. I must get more info on this.
-
CURTAINS is obviously the place to be seen!
-
Apparently, the wonderfully talented Mary Stout was there that night as well. (Loved her last summer as Mother Burnside in MAME.)
-
Goodnight, Jose!

I just cannot find that dang Bollywood DVD! I need DR Jane to come up and locate it for me.
Last time I was missing one of my Bollywood movies it turned out my neice and her husband had it. I know not why. Must have been some sort of intervention.
-
Laura - It looks like The Producers in Vegas is on a Thursday night through Tuesday night schedule, so Mr. Hasselhoff is free and at liberty from after the show on Tuesday night until his "half hour" call for the Thurs. night show.

I see.

Well, so I will watch this one instead...it is a comedy, as is the missing one...so it will be a good substitute. It also stars Akshay Kumar as does the missing one.
Hmmm..maybe this is the missing one. It is hard to keep track of these Hindi titles.

That was early, but it had to be said.

MBarnum have you ever seen "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai"? For a few years, our dollar theatre had one screen devoted to first run Bollywood films. This is the only title I remember, because it ran there for so long. We even had some Indian restaurants springing up near the theatre, and it was the hot date spot for young Indian couples, always dressed to the nines.
Then the theatre closed and it all suddenly the whole Indian subculture vanished. It was nice while it lasted, but I always wondered: "where did everybody go?"

I'm going to see a new documentary in Sioux City on Wednesday, it's called The Angel of Ahlem here's a blurb about it
Angel of Ahlem
Angel of Ahlem is the story of how a gentile and small group of Polish Jews find redemption, hope and love because of 19 black and white photos.
On April 10, 1945, 20-year-old Vernon Tott from Sioux City, Iowa, stumbled upon a compound outside Hanover, Germany. He and his buddies in the 84th Infantry Division had just routed the few remaining Germans. The compound, ringed in barbed wire, displayed a sign warning SS troops not to enter for fear of disease and lice. To Vernon Tott’s horror, he saw emaciated men barely able to stand, others lying in their urine and feces, racked with dysentery, still others stiff and cold, dressed in tatters, dead for days.
Not quite sure why—perhaps as proof of what his eyes refused to believe—he pulled out a second-hand camera he’d bought in New Orleans before joining the war in Europe. He recorded the horror of what he saw but also the hope in the face of those who had survived.
When he returned home, he had the pictures developed but put them away with the rest of his bad memories of the war. For 52 years, the pictures stayed in his basement, in a shoebox covered by dust, until one of the camp survivors placed a notice in a 1997 veterans’ newsletter seeking the GI who had taken the camp photos some 52 years ago.
Vernon Tott saw the notice, realized he was the GI and pulled out the photos and contacted the survivor. This chance encounter became the catalyst for Vernon Tott’s fevered quest to find each survivor featured in his photos. To date, he has found 13 of the 19. Vernon Tott, 79 and beset by cancer and a stroke, spends his days looking for the remaining five.
Vernon has sent 13 survivors their photos, forging a deep and unbreakable bond between this midwestern gentile and small group of Holocaust survivors. Nine of the survivors traveled to a recent reunion of the 84th division just to meet Vernon and to thank the man they call their “angel.”
Angel of Ahlem is a story about hope and how one man changed his life and the lives of a handful of Holocaust survivors by choosing to bear witness to man’s inhumanity and to reach out to strangers and offer them undeniable and irrevocable images of the most seminal moment in their lives.
-
One of the survivors was here last year for Paper Clips. He's coming back this year. Vernon passed away and his son is going forward with this. Here's another story about it.

Ok, that's a bit depressing, but I understand the doc is wonderful and I can't wait to see it.
-
I'm considering seeing The Great Gatsby on the big screen tomorrow. I've seen it a number of times, but that was the book the whole community read this year so they are showing it this weekend. I have free passes, so it may be fun to see it.
-
I'm also going to sort and clean my closet tomorrow. Time to donate about 1/2 of my wardrobe to Goodwill so the things I really wear will fit in the closet.

Night

Failte!!
I am still alive... happy St. Patrick's day one and all...
I am German and Irish and proud of it!

We celebrated greatly DR Elmore... Last weekend we had Irish fest and I played the bodhran for several sets. Great fun, I had not done that in a while. This weekend I was at a friend's neice's wedding. Being Irish, her neice had an irish themed wedding. The groom is originally from Ireland and they had a blessing read in Irish.
Have had a helacious week where i literally had to turn my schedule for four days this past week from my normal 330 to midnight to 730am to 4 and by the time you get home, you want to crash... I have also had some personal matters I have had to deal with including dealing wiht aunt vulture...
On Thursday, DBF and I made a flying trip by car to the Twin Cities where he wanted to do research for his dissertation at the MN Historical Society and I went along and did genealogical research. I am working on my line and on his line which goes back to England and Germany. He is a Puritan descendant. His ancestors settled in Barnstable County, MA. DBF leaves tomorrow for an interview in the county of Lost Angels at CSU- Dominguez Hills.
Also for some odd reason I cannot access the site from work. I am hoping it is a fluke for I can read the notes but not the board.
-
Back from the club act and shall now attempt to finish a motion picture on DVD.
-
My family immigrated from Ireland. They were actually English, but it's a long story involving Cromwell, and I don't know my history well enough to relate all the details.
My mother did all of our geneology research (she's a librarian, too) and found the name of the street in Ireland where her great-great-great-great(?) grandfather had had his grocery store.
I took her and her partner to Ireland last year, along with a few folks, and spent an extra day and rented a car so we could go to the town of Nenagh and walk down Silver Street.
Plantation Irish...
Mine are from County Donegal and from Ballymena in county Antrim.
DF Cassie is originally from Belfast.

I have not seen that movie, DR Edisaurus, but I understand it was quite a hit.

Hi. I just caught up to your post.
Sherlock is the same thank you. He wants to jump & play & we do our best to keep him quiet so he doesn’t do more damage.
The surgery is set for April 6th. Originally we just had an appointment for an exam on the 5th with the intention we would return to Portland if surgery is necessary. I convinced them to set aside time for the surgery since the odds are he will need it. We don’t want to drag this out any longer than necessary.
Vibes to Sherlock!!
-
Miss Karen, we are still waiting for you to post - "DAY".
DAY! ... although now it's St. Patrick's Night...
-
So Happy St. Patrick's Night!
-
The #1 hit on St Pat's day 1958 was "Tequila" which is not exactly Irish.
Close enough!

-
My favorite St. Patrick's day memory happened long ago when a catholic Church in EGF, MN had an irish fest. I got my first chance to see a set of pipes up close and personal. I even got to try the chanter.
-
Failte, DR DCelt!
Raises a pint of Ireland's finest, Guinness
Slainte!!

Good news about Sherlock getting in to see his doc earlier than expected...still sending those 100 % vibes his way ...

My all-time favoirte Irish trad song is "An Ghaoth Aneas" . In English, it is called Wind from the South.

I am also glad to hear that Sherlock is getting in early.

Here, here!
Just got back from a St. Pat's Party.. and I had an Irish beer that started with a K, Killilain or something like...pretty good -- no green beer :'( , but lots of good food..DH was drinking the Guinness..
-
Doesn't seem right that we shouldn't make it to Post #500 on St. Pat's Day -- what do you say, DR DCelt? Should we take it all the way to #500 with hopes some more HHWers join in along the way?
-
A lot of Wearin' o' the Green Wussburgers tonight...where is everyone (passed out?!)...
-
So close and yet so far O'Post #500..

So I'll just take it a step at a time...for now I'll set my sights on Page O'Seventeen..

So it won't be a shameless post -- a bit of trivia: Jeopardy had its first 3-way tie on Friday...
-
Killian's is not bad. I have also had Murphys and Harp.
-
I saw taht.... Rather amazing.
-
Another bit of trivia: I went to my first home owners association meeting today (all these years I have been trying to avoid those meetings) -- talk about Erg! Lots of control freaks in this world... I was ready to make the motion that they change the name of our subdivision from Southview to Analview....
-

Geesh, I'm having to modify all my posts -- can't type (and no it's not the Killain --- I'm just prone to typos...)

Miss Karen, have you done stepdancing before?

"# 500" could be the brand name to a beer! Could be!
yes, or what we could call HHW -- The #500 Club -- kind of The Anti-700 Club...
-
The City of Analview HAS to have a proctolog! One at the very least! See my "view"?!
-
Miss Karen, have you done stepdancing before?
Nope, but I wish I knew how...

How about you, DR DCelt, have you tried it?

Yes, I have...

Today has been a long day! I started by not getting out of bed until about 12:30 p.m. (for the first time in a long time) and all I did was watch TV. I didn't turn on my computer except to check my e-mail and update my Virus Protection software. After that, I went over to my sister's for a couple of hours. Our parents came over and we all played cards for a while. My mom made corned beef and cabbage ( :P ) and my sister made fried potatoes and I made some instant mashed potatoes.
-
O'Look, St. Paddy's Day '07 is almost over... :'(
-
After that, I had to leave to usher for a performance by the comedian Josh Blue (http://joshblue.com/index_lo.html), who won last year's "The Last Comic Standing." He was funny! He sold and autographed CDs and DVDs after the show and I got a DVD (which I got autographed). He stayed as long as people were there. It was a great show! His opening act was another comedian whose name I don't know, but he was funny, also. I got his autograph in the season program (even though his name's not in it). A GREAT time was had by all! ;D
-
And we not only made it to O'Post #500, but to Page O'Eighteen...What a grand way to end St. Pat's '07...

Has to be one of the highest postings ever for St. Paddy's day.

Tomorrow, I'm working concessions for The Olympia Symphony Orchestra and they're performing German music:
The OSO World Tour takes us, without the need of an airline ticket of security screening to Germany with the talented Jennifer Choi performing Beethoven’s sublime Violin Concerto in D major. Come and enjoy OSO performing a powerful and stirring excerpt from The Mastersingers of Nuremberg by Wagner and Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture.
Today is St. Patrick's Day (I'm 1/4 Irish on my dad's side) and tomorrow will be an evening of German music (I'm 3/4 German...my mom IS German), so it's all very appropriate!
-
AND my sister was born in Nuremberg when my dad was still in the army! What a coinkydink! ;D
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
The only thing interesting I remember doing for St. Patrick's Day was making sure I wore something green to school (high school) so that I wouldn't have to wear my uniform. -I went to a private, Catholic high school. Thankfully, the bit of green was covered by the "tag" you bought from the Key Club or some other school service organization who sold them for a $1.00 as a fundraiser. We couldn't dress down completely, but we did get a break from the blue and gray woolens for the day.
I totally forgot to wear ANYTHING green today. ::) Oh, well. :)
-
And I just got to Page 3 of the posts.
-
As for the Topic of the Day, "What is the most interesting thing you’ve ever done on St. Patrick’s Day?" Probably today...at least, it certainly was the most fun that I can remember having on St. Patrick's Day. :D
-
Haven't caught up on posts???
I'm just now on Page 5. :-\ Slowly, but surely. :)
