Well, you've read the notes, the notes went in search of late night dining and came up empty, and now it is time for you to post until the sleepy cows come home.

And the word of the day is: IMPEDIMENTA!

Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all! I was up before the alarm went off because I was havng the weirdest soap opera dream, which ran between a summer camp (clearly a residual of reading THEATER GEEK) and a doemstic drama involving a dead dog. I cannot make sense of it now but it was bizarre.
This morning, back to the McGlinnventory, and then I meet with Joshie, who wants me to look over a piece he just orchestrated. He's very good, so it will be fun to talk about choices, his concerns, and other options. I'm sure it will be fine. I can get very very very neurotic about my work before it's finally heard, as BK can attest from his many sessions with me.
Speaking of which, BK, thanks fo the lovely post about LOST IN BOSTON on Facebook! Now that everything's out of print, I still buy used copies of all our albums on eBay, Amazon, and SecondSpin. I'm waiting for the LOST IN BOSTON Hollywood Bowl concert series.
I have to get myself ready to leave this dump. DR Ben, July 30 is great!

Wednesday morning greetings! Getting ready to have lunch today with my volunteer administrator friends.
-
DR Ginny, Jo just sent me and email about the candy. Thanks again for delivering it.
-
Good Morning!
-
Wednesday!
DR JMK - Curly Myers and Harlow Hickenlooper (Hal Fryer) were the co-hosts of the Three Stooges program on WFBM.....Myers had also sung on WFBM radio for years - so I am sure having him on her program - since the movie must have been short - was great fun for them both.
I would love to have a scan or copy of those pages.
The Three Stooges program was mainly on Saturday morning, but it bounced around the afternoon schedule sometimes. Once Frye was doing the program live from the lawn of the WFBM studio - must have been summertime....and they immediately preceded Frances' show.
He was talking away and around the corner came Frances lugging a big handbag, head down, and racing to the front door. Fryer stopped her and she pulled off her sunglasses to talk for a moment, but finally had to excuse herself....she said she was running late, she had been working in her rock garden and lost track of time. My guess is the tumblers of vodka had something to do with it, too.

The car is at the shop.

DR Ginny, Jo just sent me and email about the candy. Thanks again for delivering it.
You're more than welcome, DR Elmore - we were glad to do it!

In the South of Jersey and most of the Philly-delphia area, there are always places where one can eat no matter the time of day (though my favorite 24/7 diner, Olga's in Marlton, NJ, closed up permanently last year because of mismanagement.)

Nothing to do with me, but I love this Judy Garland THIS IS MY LUCKY DAY recording and the video someone made to it

Mornin' HHWers!
I didn't get back in time last night to thank the rest of you sending BD greetings to me yesterday -- merci to DRs MikeB, Cilla, Laura (alas no BD rain -- maybe today hope, hope!), Jane, TCB, TD, KevinH, Vixmom, and Edi. All the HHW vibes worked, a really nice BD -- so thanks to all of you in HHWayland !
-
Ginny, what a great avatar!
Ditto!
-
Thank you, DR Miss Karen - it's nice to have you back with us again!

I watched a very good movie last night, which has just been released onto DVD: CHLOE w/Julianne Moore & Liam Neeson.
-
From Jennifer:
Gosh I wish so much that I would have said the second number to come into my head. Or that i could try the trick again. Not sure how he did it. I guess when you stare into a cute guy's eyes you always pick number 3. :)
That explains the trick :) ;)
-
From Vixmom:
I heartily recommend 'The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society" to one and all
As do I and have done so. :) DR td did you read it?
-
BK, I too frequently found that LA just closed up too early at night. A stand-by eatrie for me, always open, was always Astro-Burger.
-
Bruce I don't think you are petty. I think you are overly sensitive and making too big a deal about Jose not being here. I don't know why you, or anyone, would necessarily expect him to see all of his emails when his electricity was out. Even if he weren't having problems, emails get missed at times or they get lost. Don't come back with he was on FB, because initially he was barely there.
-
I watched the tv series THE CLOSER for the very first time this week...in fact I watched two episodes. Wow, what a nifty show that is. I think I will become a regular viewer now.
For some reason I thought it was some sci-fi show. Who knew?
-
Hey there everybody. It's Wednesday, and that really means completely nothing when you seem to work 7 days a week. Shows are coming along fine. Have to do a wedding AND a funeral this week, which will be nice for the income. I made reservations last night for a fondue place to take the DP and my mom on Sunday to celebrate the DP's birthday. The extra income will come in handy! Will try and check in from Agrabah later today. Toodles Poodles.

Happily, it's Wednesday!

Watch the show from the beginning. Seasons 1-5 are all available on NetFlix.

Hi Matthew-glad you have been working. :)
-
I just heard from Gigi Perreau, who is vacationing in France.
She informs me that it was Irene Hervey who played Andy Devine's wife in the Valley Music Theatre's production of NEVER TOO LATE.
Ms. Hervey was married to Alan Jones and is the mother of Jack Jones.
According to Gigi: "It was a wonderful cast and lots of fun to do - my first experience doing theatre in the round."
-
I recall doing an interview with Alan Jones for one of my movie books.
I also interviewed Any Devine for another of them.
Both men were very gracious; quite friendly.
-
I'm up and awaiting the arrival of both helper and CDs.

I did not join my hiking group today as my shoulder was still and it was a long drive to the hike today. We have company arriving on Friday and I couldn't risk not being able to clean.
Since typing also bothers it I'm going to take a break from the computer as well.

One Wedding & A Funeral. Is there a musical in that?

DR Druxy, I met Gigi and her sister when I attended the Western Film Festival in Memphis 2 years ago. Both gals were quite delightful!
One of these days I am going to track down some episodes of Gigi's tv show FOLLOW THE SUN.

I wanted to ask him if he always chose number 3 or if it changed each time.

DR cillaliz, how weird that all those bikers in your picture are wearing sandals. I would never wear sandals to bike.
Btw, when you said "it would hurt if they hit the pavement" did you mean if they fall?

All boxes are shipped save for the UPS boxes which are going over there now. I am now on my way to a lunch meeting, after which I shall return. I really don't think after all this lugging and doing that a jog will be necessary today. But, we'll see.

I've never fallen off my bike. My bike related injuries seem to come from when i'm stopped and trying to turn around or things like that.
Maybe the riders find it cooler to bike in sandals (if it's a hot day).

Back from my volunteer admin meeting. It's a brownbag lunch, but 11:30 is a little early for me for lunch, so I stopped at Taco Bell after the meeting. There was no one at the counter to wait on customers and the first thing I heard was a male voice from the direction of the drive-thru say, "S**t, why don't all these people just go away?"
So, I did. I enjoyed a nice lunch at Skyline Chili down the street and sent a complaint on the Taco Bell website as soon as I got home.

I'm so glad I don't work at Taco Bell; you'd have me fired ASAP.

I am kicking myself for not visiting a friend that wasn't well. Now it is too late as he is in hospice. I was told not to call and only send a card. This means the next time I see his wife will be at his funeral and the last time I went to a funeral I sat with her. :(
-
I'm always raving about my dear sister-in-law Jo's cooking, but she is also an excellent quilt maker. Here are a couple:
-
DR Elmore - Jo's quilts are bee-yoo-tee-ful! I'm thinking about signing up for a quilting class at the Senior Center up the street. Also, after we left Jo's last night we came home through Trenton and saw a quilt shop right there on the main drag.

She does really wonderful work. I think she's an artist on her sewing machine. She said you were a really nice lady. I asked her to describe the person who brought the candy! :)

I'm very proud of her. She's a wonderful, down-to-earth lady who's everything Lady M is not: kind, a good mother, practical, modest. I've always believed my brothers married one of our parents; Randy married Jo, who's very much like my father: unconditional love, practical, warm, sincere, honest. Macbeth married our mother: conditional love, narcissistic, insincere, jealous, conniving.
-
Here are two more. The top one is the quilt she made for her son and my nephew Tim and the bottom one is held by my nephew Matt (Tim's brother) and niece Alison.

I saw Andy Devine in a movie last night: I watched MYRA BRECKINRIDGE. I thought of BK when I saw Hamburger Hamlet in the opening credits.
-
So, BK, what's the non-Kritzerland soundtrack for which you are doing the liner notes?
-
My mother is a quilter. She used to do the square by square kind, now she does quilted blankets, throws and wall hangings.
-
I always wanted to do a quilt. May do a small one one of these days, when I have a moment to breathe.
-
I know I have enough old ties to make one out of.
-
Beautiful quilts, DR Elmore.
My inner little old lady has always been fascinated by quilts and quilting.
-
Ah, Steve Newport, a blast from the past. On RATM he once posted that I was dead to him, because I pointed out that he was expressing a jejune attitude in one of his countless posts. I responded, "Call me Lazarus."
-
Through some computer savvy friend, Steve managed to track down my home telephone number. Since this is a family site, I shall not discuss the kind of conversations Steve wanted to have with me.

That's alright, DR td--I shudder at the levels I stooped to when dealing with that jackass. Well, in the end, he won out and managed to drive everyone who ever disagreed with him away from the once thriving, once lively RATM. Aside from himself and the academic Farrow, there's only three or four other regular posters. For some reason, DR Noel also posts there.

My manager in work left yesterday for a three week vacation with his family in Ireland, so it falls to me to handle all of his projects and staff as well as my team. I might not be able to post as much during the daytime because I spend almost all of my time at the office in endless meetings. It's going to be a long three weeks...
-
So, BK, what's the non-Kritzerland soundtrack for which you are doing the liner notes?
Billy Wilder's Avanti. I could have done the soundtrack but it's all Italian popular music with no original scoring.
-
Lunch was grand and produced some grand information - a new Kritzerland project that will make so many people jump for joy. It has a connection to another recent Kritzerland project and has finally become possible to do. I've put it on the fast track and we could announce as soon as next Monday.
-

I haven't heard that. I love Blitzstein's music. How is it?

I really like Regina but I'll wait to hear about the quality first - I have a couple of Arkiv releases that don't sound very good.

Kidz!!! I'm up in the air on an Alaska Airlines plane, on my way back to Seattle, after an 11-day trip for a major Tina crisis - upshot is -- Alaska Air has free wireless internet, WAY above the earth!!! I love this!!!
My siblings visited Tina on July 4 - I had been gone for 5 weeks - and they were aghast at her shocking weight loss - she had lost about 25 pounds since I left - nobody else had gone to see her, and she was missing me pretty badly. She hates living at the old folks assissted living place, and was in a terrible state.
Calling Doctor Penny! I got on a plane and have been there since July 9 -- found her a townhouse, got her to a doctor, lotsa crazy stuff... I'll go back down in about 3 weeks.
A really nice perk was that I could go to Rogue Machine Theatre to see my peeps, see the opening weekend of the world premier Steven Sater piece, see the west coast premier of our first late-night show of the season, work box office for all three plays, attend the 13th chapter of our literary evening, Rant and Rave, AND attend the playwrights' group last night.
Car and flight were paid for, since I had to put in about 35 hours on the Tina mission...
and here I am, in a science fiction movie, typing away and communicating with y'all by internet, ON A PLANE!!!

Wow... Page 5... hiya, Jane!!

DR PennyO, tell us about the productions in 12 short posts.
-
I'll have to get back to NYC one a' these daze... see my Noo Yawk peeps...
-
Hi Penny! I'm so glad you are able to take care of Tina. But what happens to her when she lives alone in a townhouse? Does anyone take care of her?
-
Hi Larry.
Trying to piece together what's happening as I try to catch up, but dental vibes as needed.

I had another hostile round of emails with a former DR this morning, one of DR Noel's nemeses on another chatboard.
Steve Newport was a DR? ;D
No. One of Stevie's best friends is a former DR.
Buzzy or Bebe or whatever his name was?
Or Spelvin?
It's not the one who stopped posting because of the new format, was it?
He's English and he never posted here under the new format
Oh. That one. The Academic. I thought he was Canadian.
He lives in Canada now. He came there from England.
-
So nice to see the high-flying PennyO!
-
Good morning, all! I was up before the alarm went off because I was havng the weirdest soap opera dream, which ran between a summer camp (clearly a residual of reading THEATER GEEK) and a doemstic drama involving a dead dog. I cannot make sense of it now but it was bizarre.
This morning, back to the McGlinnventory, and then I meet with Joshie, who wants me to look over a piece he just orchestrated. He's very good, so it will be fun to talk about choices, his concerns, and other options. I'm sure it will be fine. I can get very very very neurotic about my work before it's finally heard, as BK can attest from his many sessions with me.
Speaking of which, BK, thanks fo the lovely post about LOST IN BOSTON on Facebook! Now that everything's out of print, I still buy used copies of all our albums on eBay, Amazon, and SecondSpin. I'm waiting for the LOST IN BOSTON Hollywood Bowl concert series.
I have to get myself ready to leave this dump. DR Ben, July 30 is great!
DR Ben, March 23 is okay, too.
Is that your scheduled arrival date in Manhattan?
No. It just seemed like a nice day.
-
I saw Andy Devine in a movie last night: I watched MYRA BRECKINRIDGE. I thought of BK when I saw Hamburger Hamlet in the opening credits.
Andy Devine was in MYRA BRECKINRIDGE?
-
Hello-o-o-o-o, up there, DR PennyO!
-

Yep, playing poker with John Huston, following a scene featuring Kathleen Freeman!
-
You can also catch Andy Devine with Frances Farmer in BADLANDS OF DAKOTA.
-
Penny I'm sorry I missed you. What an ordeal. I'm glad you managed to find some pleasure in your trip.
Pretty cool to know you were posting from so high above us.
-
PennyO, it's great to learn you can cybersurf above the clouds.
-
I just got a check, so I guess I can pay the property taxes now.
Good news!
-
Back from my volunteer admin meeting. It's a brownbag lunch, but 11:30 is a little early for me for lunch, so I stopped at Taco Bell after the meeting. There was no one at the counter to wait on customers and the first thing I heard was a male voice from the direction of the drive-thru say, "S**t, why don't all these people just go away?"
So, I did. I enjoyed a nice lunch at Skyline Chili down the street and sent a complaint on the Taco Bell website as soon as I got home.
Good for you! That person seems to be inconvenienced by even having a job! :P
-
I came home tonight to find a lovely package: the CD release of the 1958 City Opera revival of Marc Blitzstein's REGINA. Has anyone else ordered this?
I haven't...but I've been thinking about it. Is it good? I don't know the show, but I like Blitzstein's music.
-
Lunch was grand and produced some grand information - a new Kritzerland project that will make so many people jump for joy. It has a connection to another recent Kritzerland project and has finally become possible to do. I've put it on the fast track and we could announce as soon as next Monday.
Oh, the possibilities!! ;D

I'm voting for the OLC of Promises, Promises.

I spent a lot of money having my LP of the OLC digitized and cleaned up and re-equalized (which I supervised) years ago. Everyone I gave copies to couldn't believe how good it sounded.

Darn I missed this.
DENTAL VIBES TO DR FJL!!!

I think that DR FJL was sending me the dantal vibes, but I could be wrong.
I'm off to bed. 6:15 seems awfully early tomorrow morning.

I remember! I got a copy from you, also. :-*

...and I actually made Betty's "Knowing When to Leave" as one of my phone ringtones.
-
I just discovered that my song "Wasn't It Spring Yesterday?" got airplay in the Phillipines and some country that speaks Afrikaans (is that South Africa)? Did ASCAP ever tell me? Three guesses and the first two don't count. I have yet to see one red penny in royalties despite this song getting several nanoseconds of airplay. ;)
-
It is looking a bit stormy tonight. I hope we get a storm!
-
I did a two and a half mile jog. Lunch at Barney's Beanery - I had a chicken salad sandwich, which was good, and their fries, which are great, and a small side of mac and cheese, which was stupendous.
-
Watching a Swedish vampire movie. When did Sweden start making great movies again?
-
Good evening!! Still have my summer cold. Lots of coughing - not pleasant. It seems to be going around.
-
The moisture is just sitting there waiting for a thunderstorm to gobble it up - at least that's what the weather man says
-
I hear fireworks
-
We have fireworks in this town for all any old reason.
-
Looks like our storm chances are petering out. But you never know.
-
Oh good grief we could get 2.9 inches of rain between now and Saturday morning. Glad that the workers got the windows - mostly done - they thought they were completely done, but I found a couple they need to finish. They did get the deck done and the roof of the gazebo.
-
After they left - around 5:00 or so, I started putting the combinations back in. Let's just say there are 30 windows and 3 parts to each combination. three of the windows were painted shut and took me literally about an hour (combined) to get them open. I washed most of the windows, until I got too tired. I finished at 8:30 PM. AHH. What a terrible job, but so nice to have them in before the rain starts. I'll have to take a few back out for them to work on them
-
Please send your unwanted rain this way, Cillaliz.
-
LOVE the quilts!!! I have a couple my grandma made, I love them.
-
We had over 2 inches of rain a couple days ago, so another 3 will be more than we need. I'd love to send the extra
-
I must say that having 90 pieces of windows (60 glass windows and 30 screens) in the house really makes every room a total mess. I can't wait to start cleaning. I'm taking Friday off to do just that

Well, it's time for me to leave. It's been a day of nothing but paying invoices and tomorrow is the last day for this month. IT'S TAKES SO MUCH LONGER on the new computer system than the old :P But...we can never go back to before (a Ragtime reference).
-
But before I go...
-
...since we're so close...
-
PAGE SEVEN DANCE!!
-
Man the fireworks are still going. I should have ventured out to see this show. There's another Saturday night.
-
My work here is done. :)
Until later!
-
Night George
-
Night, all.
-
I am hoping to sleep through the night tonight, but I fear that I'll be coughing away like I have the past two nights...arg
-
Night John

Work has been very busy lately. It seems almost everyone who comes in for a consult is hiring us. The percentage is a lot higher than its been, so we've really got work to do! That is a very good thing
-
So..... what holiday is July 21 that I have forgotten? DR Sandra said this morning that July 21 seems like some kind of special day, but she couldn't remember why.
-
Maybe a freedom day?
-
Well, time to figure out which medication I'm going to take before bed tonight.
-
I just wondered about the fireworks.

it's Vixdad birthday Eve!

we have been have sudden, hard , short thunder storms several times a day for the past few days - makes me feel like we are in Florida

dentaal vibes for Elmore
-
I expect to be E & T until Monday
-
Hey Everybody! Didn't get to check in from Agrahbah, but I'm here now. Speaking of quilts, I have a bunch of show t-shirts that I'd like to make into a quilt someday...
Today was fine. Ended up going out to dinner at BJ's with the DP, which was yummy. We went to Target for some unnecessary Wii shopping and bought 3 games, which I hope someday will get played. Tomorrow is back to the Annie pit in which I will cry during the overture and any line that I know was sung by Laurie Beechman in the original. Not to mention at the 3,000th reprise of "Tomorrow". Such a sap.
And now on another note (an F-sharp) I believe I'm going to pay off my car now.
-
congrats on the car payoff!!!
-
Graduation Congratulations to Der B
-
shoulder vibes for Jane
-
wel I have to get up in 5 1/2 hours so.... night night - I probably won't be back until Monday night
-
;D
-
Nothing to say. except.
Vibes. ;D
Congrats. ;D
Happy Thursday. ;D
Fast & sleep. :)
-
I'm feeling a little queer right now.
-
All right, get your minds out of the gutter.
-
I'm feeling a little queasy right now - and why doesn't someone get me off this damn page?
-
Maybe my queasiness is from watching this Swedish vampire movie, which is a bit of greatness.
-
I'm watching "Royal Pains." I also watched "America's Got Talent" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
