Well, you've read the notes, the notes were before the cart, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently before the cart with the horsies.

And the word of the day is: ETHOLOGY!
-
And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to former dear reader Francois.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to François!! ;D
-
Happy Birthday, Francois. (Hey, George, how did you get the cedilla under the c?)
-
Working on five hours sleep. And it ain't pretty today. I think it's going to be another long one.
-
Morning all.
Dear Frank in France, we miss you!
-
I have a presentation this morning at 9:30 for the
Surdna Foundation (http://www.surdna.org/)
-
That's Andrus spelled backward and in this case it really is. The founder (in 1917) was John Emory Andrus.
And on that note I will leave you.
-
ASK BK
What were the visuals that went Barry Manilow song parody?
-
A Very Happy Birthday to Dear François!!
May you have a magical year!!!
-
I had a very bust day yesterday ended up spending almost 14 hours in teh office - when I got home I signed on here and actually fell asleep while I was trying to catch up (sitting in the recliner with the laptop on my lap)
today is going to be another busy one so I have to go
-
Good morning, all! Another McGlinnventory day, and I need to find a post office branch around Park Avenue and 23rd Street. After I finish my morning at the inventory, I have several hours of edits with Mr Skip Kennon and an evening with tHE ROSE OF ALGERIA.
Last night I skimmed through Jack Gottlieb's new book WORKING WITH BERNSTEIN, which was sort of interesting. I wish someone would do a book about the theatre pieces, both the musicals and the ballets but by the time someone does, all the primary sources needing to be interviewed will be dead.
-
BK
Are any of the productions you did in LACC that you mentioned in your book available for production?
-
BK did you get my paypal thing for Bill?

I don't think I care about Bernstein or his music enough to want to write one; I would lke to read it.
-
I spoke to WFO on the phone yesterday he sounded a little stronger He is starting to be able to take a few steps (he fractured his pelvis int he accident) but it looks like it will be a bit of a slow road
-
elmore - I understand
;)
-
well I have finished breakfast (1 cup skim milk, 1 cup fresh blueberries, handleful of ice, one scoop of spirutien protein mix all blended into a lovely thick smoothie)
and now off tothe offic e- I hope the past few daysa re not an indication of the summer I should expect - I cannot face another summer of 14 hour days spent inside
-
have alovely day all - I will attempt to be back tonight
-
Hey, Larry. You may have left already but there is a Post Office on 23rd Street (149 E 23rd St., between 3rd Ave & Lexington Ave.)
I have been there. The line can move at a glacial pace. They do have the automated machines but the clerks are not especially helpful or pleasant and the customers can be whack jobs so be aware.
-
All alone at 8:30am.
Bye.
-
And the word of the day is: ETHOLOGY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: BROTHERHOOD OF MAN
-
! ! ! ! ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR FRANÇOIS ! ! ! ! !

Heading downstairs to Surdna.
Later.

Hello, Surdna!

I ordered and received the other new Bernstein book (http://www.amazon.com/Leonard-Bernstein-Story-Landmarks-Music/dp/0754664848/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274273390&sr=1-15)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/WandaDuck/BernstienBook.jpg)
I've flipped through it and it looks rather acedemic and not as fun a read as I had hoped. Have you seen this one yet, DR Elmore?
-
Wednesday. Tonight is our read thru - without Madame Arcati who had committed to a first reading of a play in front of an audience.....oh well.
-
All the Primary Sources Are Dead
That is the name of my new movie thriller.
-
Hello, Surdna!
That was the title of Penny Marshall's latest pilot (it didn't get picked up...)
-
Happy Birthday DR Francois.
-
Hmmmmmmmm.....couldn't post a pic....Page Two Dance anyway.
-
I am majorly annoyed. CBS cancelled one of my favorite shows, GHOST WHISPERER. MEDIUM was renewed. There is a chance that ABC might pick-up GW. :(
-
I missed a little - is Ms. Lansbury repeating her Tony winning role as Mme Arcati?
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FRANCOIS!!!!
-
Question for BK: the Dub Taylor who is mentioned your book as one of the early partners of the record company, was he the Dub Taylor? If it was, was he involved in a record company purely as a business investment or did he have an interest in classical music?
-
Brad Ross lives in our building. His lovely girlfriend of many years, Drew, is just a fabulous person whom we adore also - was she at the presentation?
-
hmmm...I'm getting old...I can remember that Dub Taylor was a frequent guest on the Carson Show but I can't remember if he was amusing or annoying...
-
Is Francois a former reader again? I can't keep these comings and goings straight anymore. I could have sworn he was back. In any case, Happy Birthday, Francois, with or without your cedilla. ;)
-
And as one who has had his feelings hurt online (not here), may I just say to anyone/everyone who has left: take a deep breath and relax. There really isn't anything we're discussing here that is THAT important to leave in a huff (or a minute and a huff). Unless, of course, it's my incipient lesbianism. ;)
-
BK's close personal directee Adair is coming over this morning to give me her book for an upcoming cabaret I'm playing for her (on very short notice, I might add).
Today is also repair day for DirecTV. The great room receiver is wonky. If you leave it off for any length of time it stops sending a signal. It also keeps detaching itself from the multi-room DVR network.
I must also email the customer service lady at Qwest today to see what they're going to do about this massive misquote I received on new services.
-
Good morning. The workers across the street began hammering at 6:15 a.m. Luckily I've been up since 5 a.m.
-
Wednesday morning greetings! Today is alumni day at Nashotah House, which means that Richard is busy until late afternoon with services, meetings, and a luncheon. I could have gone to the luncheon, but told him to save the $35 and I'd entertain myself.
-

Ginny, I missed it--where in Wisconsin are you?
-
And on a completely different subject, I'm not a huge fan of hers, but I heartily recommend CELINE: THROUGH THE EYES OF THE WORLD on Blu to anyone/everyone. It's not really a concert video, it's a really fascinating (and gorgeous to watch) documentary following her around the world on her 2008 tour. She really seems to be a remarkably giving human being, considering her superstardom.

Breaking news:
Dan (the cat) was the first to climb onto the Leopard-Spotted Fainting Couch.
That is all.

JMK - You must accept that many of us are really bothered that you're only attracted to women. I know - it's a curse, but that's just the way it is.
And now, here's Celine Dion with THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6wbugWrfLU
-
bk - LOVING the book. Had to make myself stop reading to go to sleep last night (which as I've read, is par for the course around these parts)
Here's to a good Wednesday. And one for Mahler!
-

Dub is a good name for someone with a record company.
-
I turned on the TV at work just in time to hear Regis talk about his surgical procedure and that they shaved his groin. If that wasn't enough of a visual, Kelly follows it up with "Welcome to my world." TMI, people, TMI!
TV instantly switched to monitor status.

DR JMK, we're in Delafield in SE WI, halfway between Milwaukee and Madison.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I may have walked around in the rain a little too much yesterday. <sniffle>
-
bk - As for that reading... I've seen many a staged reading done without chairs on stage. Many of them. In DC. In Chicago. In Richmond. In Orlando. And, yes, even in New York City. Just sayin'. ;)
-
I don't think I have watched Regis since Kathy Lee left.
-
In other news... I need some coffee...
Laters...

I'm experiencing an odd sense of pride about that.

OK, I'm about to put on my walking shoes and get out into the beautiful Wisconsin sunshine...bye for now!
-

Evidently a part of Wisconsin I haven't been to. (Just kidding).
-
Is Francois a former reader again? I can't keep these comings and goings straight anymore. I could have sworn he was back. In any case, Happy Birthday, Francois, with or without your cedilla. ;)
He hasn't posted in 6 months. He didn't make any sort of announcement at the time. He just didn't post any more.

I know of it but I haven't ordered it yet.
DR Ben, I was already out the door. It's a pity since I was at 23rd and Park Avenue. When I leave Toyland, I will stop at the Post Office at 68th and Columbus, I believe.

ASK BK
What were the visuals that went Barry Manilow song parody?
The visuals look like a Barry concert.
-
BK
Are any of the productions you did in LACC that you mentioned in your book available for production?
I used to license Stages, but no, I've never tried to publish any of it through any of the licensing places.
-
BK did you get my paypal thing for Bill?
I did and it shipped yesterday.
-
Question for BK: the Dub Taylor who is mentioned your book as one of the early partners of the record company, was he the Dub Taylor? If it was, was he involved in a record company purely as a business investment or did he have an interest in classical music?
Nope, different Dub.
-

Not one that aped exactly everything we did for The Roxy. And in LA I don't know that I've ever seen one without chairs onstage.
-
I'm up, helper will be here in six minutes so I'd better get dressed and ready.
-
Lovely day....and I found a mistake I made on the REHEARSAL SCHEDULE....I will correct it tonight at the read thru.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-
I enjoyed GLEE last night.....two nice duets and a couple of nice pop songs......and none of the guest stars had a voice with extreme front placement.
-
Listening to EARTH VEE ESS THE SPIDER again.....most entertaining. I especially like that the Main Titles begin with the American International fanfare....did Glasser write that?
-
Good Afternoon!
I just went through the season announcement for New York Stage & Film (http://powerhouse.vassar.edu/) and came across this:
*****
July 29–August 1
ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER
Book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner
Music by Burton Lane
New book by Peter Parnell
Reincarnated and Directed by Michael Mayer
Musical direction by Lawrence Yurman
Lerner and Lane’s musical tale of love that spans eras is reincarnated by Michael Mayer, the Tony Award-winning director of Side Man, Spring Awakening, and American Idiot. Beloved songs such as “Come Back to Me” and “What Did I Have That I Don’t Have” are given a surprising new twist in a completely reimagined book from Peter Parnell (QED, Trumpery, The Cider House Rules).
Performance dates and times: July 29, 30 at 8:00pm; August 1 at 2:00pm and 7:00pm

DR Jose, I'm glad that DR TCB alerted us both to the fact that we weren't even talking about the same show last night! :)
The reason i didn't question it is because you are always so internet savy. And it had seemed like you had just gone to dialidol. And since i knew the only results they had up yesterday were for DANCING WITH THE STARS I just figured that is what you were talking about.
Although actually they were wrong about the DWTS boot (which they were supposedly sure about).
So who is it that you think should have gone home in the past on IDOL. Is it Casey? My favorite is Lee, and I am so happy that the judges were pimping for him last night. That should secure his spot in the finale!
-
Happy Birthday to François!!

Again, I was just skimming... I saw DWTS - which I don't watch... Then I saw DialIdol... So...
Yes, Casey needs to go home. And he should have gone home a long time ago. Although, since this season assembled one of the most confounding, middling, mediocre and lackluster group of contestants, well... I haven't watched every episode this season, but I sure have been surprised when I've tuned back in a week or two later and noticed some of the same people still there.
And, yes, it was nice to see that the producers were "pimping" out Lee last night. However, it was surprising that Simon (and/or a producer or two) picked out a song for him that had been performed on "AI" before. I guess they had already hired the back-up singers/chorus. ::)

Unless, of course, it's my incipient lesbianism. ;)
You started it! ;) ;D

I'm sure it was hard on you to "save" the money & skip the business luncheon ;)

Time for a video?
-
Happy Birthday, Francois. (Hey, George, how did you get the cedilla under the c?)
I always copy & paste to get it. If there is an easier way I would like to know.

I think every musical should be reprocessed and given surprising new twists to make them Happening and Now and Modern and Different. Many of them were just popular by accident and not because they were any good to begin with.

LOL, DR Jane! I went to the luncheon last year and it was very nice, but it was definitely *his* thing and not mine. As I've accompanied him to these clergy things during this first year, I've seen how few wives attend and now don't feel compelled to "stand by my man" on these occasions.

DR Jane - If you're on a Mac: "Alt/Option" + "c" = ç or Ç
On a PC/Windows: "Alt" + 0199 = ç - "Alt" + 0231 = Ç -At least those should still be the codes. Does Windows still have "Character Map"?

Vibes for DR WFO and Joe.
-
Hello, all!
So little time, so much to say.
I'm logged on in the Occupational Therapy Room of Rehab. 5th Floor of the same megahospital.
Joe was discharged on Sunday, even though he had blood in his brain, fractured ribs and scapula. And he is having a bit of a hard time at home, although the nice neighbors (not Lady Macbeth who divorceth the Thane--but that's another story) have been helping him out a bit.
I have freactured pelvis and one knee, and I will be in rehab for at least another week. What happened is that Joe was driving to the doctor, skidded on an exit ramp on oil, and the car hit a tree on his side. His MB SLK was, of course, totalled, as were my students' finals. I am still working on assigning grades for the semester, but at least this happened a the end of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And thanks for all the vibes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Youse guys is great ~~~~~~~~~~~~
On my own computer I keep Character Map open on the task bar so I can copy in fancy shmansy letters whenever I want.
More later.
Luvs ya.

What a long day this has been! I think it's time to watch JUDGE JUDY and nap.

Vibes to WFO and Joe. Oy!!
-
My Amazon review is no longer in Amazon Hell.
-
Back from a couple of shopping excursions (on foot) and lunch at Applebee's. I don't expect Richard "home" for another couple of hours, so I thought I'd take advantage of having HBO and watch Four Christmases. Gave up on it after about 20 minutes.
-
Glad to see that DR WFO was able to be here for a bit this afternoon - continued vibes for him and Joe!

Yes, a quick recovery to William F. Orr and his ever-lovin' Joe.

Helper was almost two hours late, so everything got screwed up and I'm working with David on the phone today. But, we got everything shipped, so that's good.

David and I are working - but in a very unusual way. We were doing it on the phone, but realized we both are Mac people, so we opened up an iChat session and now we can see each other while working. It's almost like being in the same room. Fun. He had to go take his youngest to school and we'll resume in a few minutes.

Oh...I (and Jose) forgot to mention that the numbers MUST be typed on the 10-key pad on the right side of your keyboard. You can't use the numbers above the letters. AND you have to hold down the Alt key while you're typing all four numbers. Try that.
-
It turns out these ultra high-tech new DirecTV receivers do not always work with some Panasonic flatscreens. Guess what brand was left in the house mounted to the fireplace? It's a minor inconvenience, I guess--when the HDMI handshake doesn't take place, we have to press the reset button and wait for a few minutes.

What's for dinner?

It's a little lumpy but it rings.

Happy Birthday, DFR François!

The DirecTV/Panasonic issue may have just been a faulty HDMI cable. I had changed it once and it didn't make any difference, but I got a bunch of budget cables on Amazon. I just tried one that I knew was working with a PS3 and I'm getting a signal. Won't know for sure until we turn it off--in 2045. :)

I have freactured pelvis and one knee, and I will be in rehab for at least another week. What happened is that Joe was driving to the doctor, skidded on an exit ramp on oil, and the car hit a tree on his side. His MB SLK was, of course, totalled, as were my students' finals. I am still working on assigning grades for the semester, but at least this happened a the end of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And thanks for all the vibes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Youse guys is great ~~~~~~~~~~~~
On my own computer I keep Character Map open on the task bar so I can copy in fancy shmansy letters whenever I want.
More later.
Luvs ya.
Prayers and vibes to WFO and Joe

It turns out these ultra high-tech new DirecTV receivers do not always work with some Panasonic flatscreens. Guess what brand was left in the house mounted to the fireplace? It's a minor inconvenience, I guess--when the HDMI handshake doesn't take place, we have to press the reset button and wait for a few minutes.
Give them back the damn house and move out!

What is the code to do two dots over the u?
Never mind, thanks to JRand & http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html I found it. ü

If I ever read your posts, I would ask how you liked it.

Six more episodes of HIGH SCHOOL STORIES are being shown Friday on MTV2. My episode is not one of them.

Finished watching last night's Lost. At least it did what one would want at this point, although I really don't see how they're going to pay off the "sideways" timeline without being very convoluted - but Sunday night will tell us. But the episode was a good one, I thought.

I'm now on hold with my bank. This morning I got an e-mail from someone asking why I hadn't sent a check at the end of January. Yes, they were asking this question on May 19th. Before responding to the e-mailer, I called the bank and found that the check that I had, in fact, sent at the end of January had not only been received, but cashed. So I relayed that information. Now this person has e-mailed back saying they had no memory of receiving and cashing the check and would I be so kind as to have the bank provide a photocopy of the front and back of the check.
Now, keep in mind that these people have been a royal pain in the ass many times. Now, what they are basically saying to me is that they do not believe me when I tell them that the bank shows the check as cashed. So, I am on hold and will ask for a photocopy of the front and back of the check. Once I have that, I suppose I'll have to send it to these people. And once they see the check I will, I'm sure, get some sort of weak apology, but unfortunately this, added with a few other things, will cause me to have to do something that will not please them - and do it I shall because I am over this sort of thing in a major way.
-
Does the bank charge to send a copy of the check?
-
Oh, and it doesn't mean they don't believe you, it means someone didn't record the information & they have no way of knowing.
-
Oh, I'm sure they do, and I'm sure I'll be passing that charge along and will not send the photocopy until I receive it.
-
But I don't know that yet because I'm still on hold - fifteen minutes now. And each minute makes me more annoyed.
-
Good idea.
-
Can you turn your phone to speakerphone & do other things while you wait? Obviously you are also on the computer while you wait ;)
-
Yes, just playing on the computer while I wake.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
My phone has a headset. It keeps my hands free & my neck from hurting. That is normally, now I can't hold the phone for long at all. Maybe by the time my two years, the surgeon said it would take, of healing are over with.

Can't you go online and print out the check yourself?

John Shepherd-Barron, the Scotsman credited with inventing the world's first automatic cash machine, has died after a short illness. He was 84.
He came up with the idea of the cash dispensers after being locked out of his bank. He also said that his invention was inspired by chocolate vending machines.

Charlie Sheen is going to be paid two million dollars an episode!!! That is ridiculous.

If not you could copy a snippet of the back of the check & print that, or email it.

I think everyone should stop watching the show in protest.
-
TCB did you read if there is a big penalty clause in the contract if he misses shoots due to drugs or spousal abuse?
-
Finally off hold, and I have ascertained that the endorsement on the back of the check is by the person to whom the check was sent - I am getting a printout and will fax it to them as soon as I have it. And that will be the end of that, and by end I mean not in a good way for the party involved.

Every once in a while, I'll get my bluetooth headset and use that if I think I need to be on my cell (and only) phone for a while. What's really convenient is that if both of my batteries are very low, I can have my phone upstairs charging while using the bluetooth headset anywhere in my house...even two flights down. It's pretty cool.
Jane, do you have a cell phone? Could that be an option for you...using a hands-free bluetooth earpiece?
-
I don't do the online banking thing. I'll have it in a few days and am happy to pass on the three-dollar charge.

Welcome seven GUESTS.

ROTFLOL. My cell rings in the house, however that doesn't mean I can carry on a conversation in my house. Keith's cell works better at the house, mine works better on the hiking trails which I consider more important.
When I was researching new land line phones I found some that are blue tooth compatible & are used instead of your cell phone. They look like a regular phone but work off the cell, without using cell minutes. I don't remember the details how that can be.
-
Oh, and it doesn't mean they don't believe you, it means someone didn't record the information & they have no way of knowing.
I agree with DR Jane. While it is certainly possible that they are screwing with you, I think it's also possible that their bank did not send them back that cheque and therefore they really need the copy for their records.

Breaking news:
Dan (the cat) was the first to climb onto the Leopard-Spotted Fainting Couch.
That is all.
I don't know why - but for some reason this news made me feel very happy

BK did you get my paypal thing for Bill?
I did and it shipped yesterday.
YAY!!!

Jennifer, I'm glad you agree with me....however banks don't send back checks anymore, at least not in the States. This check would have been returned to Bruce anyway. This person obviously didn't write down paid in their records before cashing the check.

BK
Are any of the productions you did in LACC that you mentioned in your book available for production?
I used to license Stages, but no, I've never tried to publish any of it through any of the licensing places.
Maybe it is something you should consider - or perhaps you might want to publish them yourself -
-
Well, I must be going. I'm going to see a local production of Annie and the woman who's playing Grace is the same woman who played Grace when I did the show...in the mid-1990s! However, she still looks quite young and is a wonderful performer and a very nice person!
And she actually went to high school and was friends with Kevin Spacey and Mare Winningham!
Just had to share. :)

I think every musical should be reprocessed and given surprising new twists to make them Happening and Now and Modern and Different. Many of them were just popular by accident and not because they were any good to begin with.
I would like to see FOLLIES updated and take place in the now-closed CBGB's and be about a reunion of 80's pop acts.
;D ;D ;D ;D

Correct. Which is not MY problem, but theirs. It's the attitude really - stuff happens, but the attitude sucks, especially after I told them it had been deposited and cashed. I don't know what else they really need, and the fact is I gave them the date of deposit and all that, and they could just look it up on THEIR bank statement.

Stuff does happen. It isn't the mistake but how one corrects it that makes a difference. Unless the deposit was for a single check & not multiple checks they wouldn't find it in their bank statement.

I spoke with WFO tonight - he is sounding stronger but he ii is still going to be a long road..there is a computer in the occupational therapy room and he was able to sign on during his break between therapy sessions

Checks - check.

~~~~~VIBES FOR ALL IN NEED~~~~~
-
DR TCB - just for reference.....if they haven't seen it, watching the movie version may save me hours of explanation about this or that.....don't watch it to COPY anything.......just watch it......two people took the DVD's which is fine.....hopefully they will enjoy the film.

I am verifying another DVD.

And soon I shall go to bed.

We have company coming next month that have multiple food restrictions. I want to make a dessert but every time I think of one it has too much sugar in it.
Does anyone have a recipe they like that doesn't have much sugar, and is still tasty?
-
fresh fruit? Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries - angel food cake?
-
A dessert I like that has no sugar is a cheeseburger.
-
Finished with my viewing for the evening.
-
How about some yummy oatmeal?

Happy Birthday, Francois. (Hey, George, how did you get the cedilla under the c?)
I always copy & paste to get it. If there is an easier way I would like to know.
DR Jane - If you're on a Mac: "Alt/Option" + "c" = ç or Ç
On a PC/Windows: "Alt" + 0199 = ç - "Alt" + 0231 = Ç -At least those should still be the codes. Does Windows still have "Character Map"?
Thanks, only it didn't work. I'll have to ask Keith why. I'm sure the response will be that I'm an idiot ;) We don't have a Mac and I'm not sure about Windows. I haven't a clue where the character map is. I think it is easier to copy & paste ;)
Oh...I (and Jose) forgot to mention that the numbers MUST be typed on the 10-key pad on the right side of your keyboard. You can't use the numbers above the letters. AND you have to hold down the Alt key while you're typing all four numbers. Try that.
Place a foot in a bucket andhave the other wrapped in a mustard wrap. Facce east and then recite the pledge of allegiance before trying?

I'm listening to some Herbie Hancock CD of Fat Albert.

Not the HDMI cable, sadly. I guess we will be pressing the reset button a lot. Oy.
Speaking of Bluetooth, I had the weirdest frigging thing happen the other day. I had my cell phone and bluetooth on at the old house. You will not believe this, but Zach was there with me and will attest our ROOMBA starting asking for Bluetooth commands. I was so surprised and shocked I spat out, "Clean!", not really understanding what was happening. And then I heard my Bluetooth respond in its robotic voice, "Bet-sy" and it started dialing Betsy at work. Zach and I were laughing very hard, to say the least.
