Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both Broadway and a love story and also long, and now it is time for you to post until the Broadway cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ENSPIRIT!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! I'm up early to meet my friend Becky for coffee, with a stop at the post office on the way there and a stop at the garden center on my way back.
-
DR Jose - thanks for the congrads from last night!
-
DR Cillaliz - Skating with the Stars was kind of silly, definitely a guilty pleasure.
-
And the word of the day is: ENSPIRIT!
And The Song Of The Day Is : TO LIFE

Yes, Broadway Love Story is a very good CD. I haven't played the whole thing for awhile, so I'll have to dig it out. I'm glad you reminded me.
-
I saw ALICE IN WONDERLAND when it first came out on DVD.
I was really enjoying it until she fell down the rabbit hole, then story was replaced by CGI.
:(
-
I watched an excellent movie last night, one of the best I've seen thus far this year.
It's a black comedy called LEAVES OF GRASS, and it stars Edward Norton in a dual role.
The movie features Tim Blake Nelson, who also directed, Keri Russell, Richard Dreyfuss and Susan Sarandon.
It's very reminiscent of the Coen Brothers' movies.

Tuesday.
Glad to hear all of the Good News yesterday.....lots of nice things happening....traveling, homecoming, animals.....
-
DR VIXMOM the Viking movie wasn't colorized.....it was in original two-strip Technicolor.

My thoughts exactly.

Morning, all.
-
TOD: I don't really know enough of Randy Newman's work to have favorites, but I did like the songs from the first two "Toy Story" movies.
-
BK, love the story about A Broadway Love Story. Next queston is: How does one acquire a copy of this?

Good morning, all! I survived my trip to Miami University although I'm sure I've infected everyone I met with this cold. Yesterday, I felt terrible, but today, after 10 hours of sleep, I'm feeling pretty good.
I arrived in Oxford around 10:45yesterday morning, went to the Theatre Dept office for a visitor's parking pass, and then spent an hour in the Music Library looking at Appalachian folk song collections and talking to Barry, the librarian, who's taking my manuscripts into the library's collection.
At 11:50, I met Liz Mullenix, director of the MU Theatre program and we drove uptown to meet Janet Stuckey for lunch. Janet is the MU Library peron in Special Collections who's receiving all of the things I'm shipping. There is one crisis: they don't want a ton of books I've sent because of financial crises in the Ohio State educationbal system where the fools keep pouring the money into athletics while removing funding elsewhere. So, part of this is downsizing linbraries. I don't understand exactly what's going on, but the school libraries can no longer possess multiple copies of books, so a lot of books on Sondheim, Weill, musical theatre, etc. that are already in the collection are being rejected. I don't know how this bodes with signed editions, since a lot of books are signed, so I need to call Janet and address that issue.
After lunch, I met Janet at the library, she showed me what's been done so far with what I've sent and I spent the afternoon going through two cartons of questions: one was a simple "toss it out" response and the other was a filled box of correspondence. So I went through the items, commenting on who was the sender, how they related to my life, and Janet wants me to begin a history of these people as a reference guide.
After that, I met Liz and Gion of the Theatre Dept with a few students and a new acting teacher, my friend Steve Wilson, whom several years ago I tried to bring in to audition for the NYMF production of The Brain From Planet X, but he was on tour playing the Dick Van Dyke role in CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (bringing up yesterday's Sherman Brothers). This year I tried to land him the role of Nicky Arnstein for the Lyric Stage of Dallas' production of FUNNY GIRL, but he was playing Superman in a production at Cincinnati's Playhouse In The Park! It was a really good visit, and I had a lot of fun.
I got back here, feeling poorly, watched tv with Jo, and went to bed around 10.
Today, I've got to call some friends and I need to purchase a new watchband, although I have no idea where. DR Ginny, any advice?
DR cillaliz, are you sure that Bristol Palin's "surprise envelope" wasn't prompted by her vicious homophobic coments on Facebook? A rotten apple doesn't fall far from a rotten, narrow-minded redneck tree.
-
BK, love the story about A Broadway Love Story. Next queston is: How does one acquire a copy of this?
DR CharlesPogue, go to Amazion.com, look up Christianne Noll, and on the album's info, you will find several (13 at the moment) used copies through Amazon marketplace, which is where I pick up the out of print copies I hand out as demos. I usually get the "Used-Like New" or "Used-Very Good" items since everything I did with BK is OP now. Check the vendor's rating as well.
-
I missed commenting on a lot of things yesterday, but I can send vibes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Continued Good Holiday Vibes this week to all DRs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
DR Elmore, I think it was Bristol's little sis who made the comments on Facebook.
-
DR Edisaurus, I am totally thrilled that you film will be coming to Portland!! I will be even more totally thrilled if you come to Portland, as well!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And even though I probably should have stayed in bed for another hour or two, I just didn't feel like it. ???
-
Alas, I'm still a bit sinus-y, but I guess I am feeling better. Strangely enough, I also feeling like fasting today, like I should fast today. We shall see. ???

DR elmore - "AmaZion.com"? Hmmm... ;)
-
DR elmore - It sounds like you had quite a full day at MU. I hope you're feeling better today, and that none of the people you were in contact with yesterday are feeling worse today. ;)
*Steve Wilson was also in Lestat.
-
Oh...
My parents are going to CostCo...
And I need underwear and socks, so... ;)
Laters...
-
I'm up, I'm up - weird dreams - not bad weird, but WEIRD.
-
Not as WEIRD as being on page one at this hour.
-
If anyone needs any of the albums I produced elsewhere, ask, because I still have copies here of some of them. We did a sale here about two years ago that was quite popular with the populace.
-
And let me add just one thing: Get me off this damn page.
-
Thank you. Now get me off THIS damn page.
-
...And as my Dad and I wait for my Mom...
Nonesuch Records is celebrating the 3rd Anniversary of their online store with a 33%-off sale storewide. Just go to http://nonesuch.com/store

I just purchased an Android Tablet for about $100 on eBay. I'm hoping it's enough for me to just check email on the go, which is all I really need.
-
Thanks MBarnum. I'm not sure there will be photos. Yogi is a dominant dog & we are having difficulties as a result.
Keith & Craig are about to walk the dogs in the snow. Since I can barely hobble around I have to stay home.
-
Thanks Jose. The cats' name is Kitty which began as a nickname over her original strange Romanian name. For now Kitty is confined to a bedroom & bathroom. We are concerned Yogi might try to protect her from Sherlock when he attempts to play with her.

From Edi:
JMK, MBarnum, George! JEWS AND BASEBALL is coming to Portland on April 3rd!
Darn, I am pretty sure I can't go to Portland in April. Will you be there?
-
What is an Android Tablet - a rip-off of the iPad?
-
What is an Android Tablet - a rip-off of the iPad?
I'm still researching--I believe Android is Google's new operating system. Maybe Jose can tell us. But, yes, it looks like an iPad, only smaller (more like a slightly larger iPhone).
-
DR Elmore, I think it was Bristol's little sis who made the comments on Facebook.
I also think so. Jennifer Gray had only nice things to say about Bristol.
-
Is Bristol's nickname "Bris"? If so, I can virtually guarantee there won't be an interfaith marriage in her future. ;)
-
DR Elmore, I think it was Bristol's little sis who made the comments on Facebook.
DR MBarnum, I do believe you are right! She was posting vicious comments in support of her sister's dancing skills. Perhaps the sender was a critic of Bristol's dancing talents? Since I don't watch the show, I've never seen her dance. Noe do I care to.

;D
My Gaydar told me that years ago!
I am back from the maladroitly named "Middletown Mall," which is to shopping centers what I am to Marie of Roumania. Neither jeweler carries watch bands so I must wait until I return to Manhattan. I did find a quilt I liked and purchased it.
Then on my way back to Randy's, I drove through what was in 1960 the thriving metropolis of Middletown, OH. I counted a grand total of five people on Central Avenue, the main street through a deserted town. Very sad.
-
Is Bristol's nickname "Bris"? If so, I can virtually guarantee there won't be an interfaith marriage in her future. ;)
I suspect the bris person in that family is Sarah!
-
Just poking my nose in here to see if anyone has heard from TCB. We're having VERY low temps around here and some parts of Tacoma have no power. I can't find his phone number to call him. Hope he's ok!
-
DR Edisaurus, I am totally thrilled that you film will be coming to Portland!! I will be even more totally thrilled if you come to Portland, as well!
I would LOVE to come there, and so would Greg. I will definitely try, if my financial situation allows it!
-

My mom LOVES Mr. Peanut, ever since she was young. She will be quite surprised to learn that he has a sex life! ;D
-
I looked to see what time Ann posted and realize I need to reset my clock.
-
Feel better vibes to our dear Elmore!
-
This is a test. The time should be 10:50AM.
-
My post reads twelve minutes fast.
-
Leaving me at home the guys all went for a walk. Keith said Sherlock kept trying to get Yogi to play. Yogi would play for a few minutes and then growl at Sherlock. :(
We also have a yellow stain on the carpet in our bedroom. We are now keeping our bedroom door shut.
-
Back from my chiropractor...he is the same one I used after my car accident four years ago....he is SO good looking...I should really hurt my back more often.
I see him again on Monday!
-
Yogi probably just needs some time to adjust to the changes. New home, new people...he's a bit stressed. I am sure he and Sherlock will eventually be the best of buddies.

Just read that British actress Ingrid Pitt has died. I was never a big fan of hers, but I certainly saw a lot of her Hammer Studios horror flicks as a kid.

I am back from a very long coffee visit with Becky and my errands.
DR Elmore - you might try Edgewood Jewelers (ask Jo, it's in a strip behind UDF in Trenton) for your watch band. One of the jewelers there is Don Miller, owner of the former Miller Jewelry here in Middletown, where Richard and I bought our wedding rings. Or Target - that's where Richard finds bands for his watch.

Target is out by Lowe's?
I drove by dad's home, and I didn't recognize any of the territory. The "For sale" sign is missing. I swear these two ass brothers of mine don't want to sell the piece of land at all: won't involve a realtor, won't do anything to promote a sale, and they clearly think a deal will fall in their laps. I want so much to dig up my dad to kick his ass for taking such stupid action just before he died.
-
BK:
I remember I once asked you want songs would you choose for a "Male Version" and a "Gay Version" of "A Broadway Love Story" and you said that you wouldn't change any of the songs.
So if you can't get Ms. Noll for the show, would you consider a male singer for the program?

The strangest thing happened to copy of my play. All the character names changed. On my laptop they were alternate between different names (in real time) or their name would have brackets around them like this (Jason).
Thank God for a back up.
-
The third BALLET BALLAD, "The Eccentricities of Davy Crockett," is proofed and looking good. Now I have to do "Susannah and the Elders" and "Willy the Weeper" this week to finish the set.
Randy and Jo's house is in a valley below the main road and the phone reception is crap. I have to go out in the yard to make phone calls. So, I'm going outside now.

Maybe, although I think it probably works better with a female.

Back from tweaking Carrie, if you get my meaning. It sounds beautiful and it was absolutely the right decision. We also found something really fun that will be included as a "hidden" track - on the Calisthenics cue we have a track of Betty Buckley talking - it's pretty hilarious.

My friend, Andy, who lost his beloved dog, Copper, a few months ago, adopted "Lauren" this past weekend. She's a rescued greyhound, and she's actually not grey - which I didn't realize was possible(?).

Tonight I think I'll rip out carpet with the stars....
-
Well it has to be done and there is a tv in there now. I bought a new recliner at a store going out of business today. They'll deliver it on Friday. So, I figured I better get the carpet ripped out so I can have him put it in the room for me.
-
Has anyone heard this 3-disc compilation of Kay Thompson? I'm reading Sam Irvin's new biography of her.
Sam Irvin, incidentally, was the man responsible for getting me into recording. He was producing a mystery film around 1982, and my friend Jimmy Simpson, best friend of Valerie Mahaffey, kept telling Sam that he should hire me to do the score. I lost the job because I had no sound studio experience and Sam told me that he couldn't waste time and money on a novice. I started working with Ben Bagley immediately. Sam owes me one!
On another tangent, where is Jimmy Simpson now? I haven't seen him in 25 years.
On my social calendar, I will have dinner tonight with my friends Alan and Liliane Freeman. DR Ginny, what are you and Richard doing Friday night?
-
For my first day of cardiac rehab phase 3, I've done my stretching routine, walked around the basement for 28.5 minutes, and done my handweight routine.

Jane, I do want to be rude by pointing this out, but there seemed to have been snow in those photos you posted or some sort of white stuff.
That's just not right.
It got into the mid-80s here again today. Now, that's right.
-
I want snow!
-
John I wish we could trade. There was a lot more snow this morning and it is snowing again now. I bet Craig wishes we had asked him to walk to the mailbox earlier. He needs waterproof shoes. I would have gone if I could walk.

School has been canceled for tomorrow due to predicted cold temps and ice. Chances are it will be a record breaking cold day. I'm not sure if we broke any records today.

Just poking my nose in here to see if anyone has heard from TCB. We're having VERY low temps around here and some parts of Tacoma have no power. I can't find his phone number to call him. Hope he's ok!
Does anyone have Tom's phone number?
-
I don't. George I thought you have it.
-
I got a call from Judy, my new supervisor at about 8:00 a.m. today...the entire library district is closed! No work and we can use Emergency Leave! She said that she had called a couple of other people in my department and only didn't have the phone number for one other. I called that person and everyone was notified. A couple of people actually went it to work (they both get to work at 7:00 a.m.) and I got called after that. I'll try to get up earlier tomorrow to check my work e-mail.
-
I don't. George I thought you have it.
I do! I'll call him right now.
-
I just called and there was no answer. I left a message for him to either post or call me. :-\

I hope we hear from him soon.

WOW! Even Sean Hayes will be out of Promises, Promises tonight due to a sinus infection:
Sean Hayes Will Miss Nov. 23 Performance of Promises, Promises

I wonder if he's been lurking here on HHW? ;)
*This will actually be only the second performance he's missed since they opened. He also was out of this past Sunday's matinee.
-
Anyway, about 10 minutes after I got the call to not come into work, my dental hygienist called, asking if I wanted to come in early. My appointment was for 11:00 a.m., and all her morning appointments cancelled. I was the next one in. I said that I'd get there as soon as I could (I hadn't even taken a shower yet). The drive in was quite easy, except that my washer fluid nozzles were frozen and there was a lot of debris caking up my windshield as I drove on the freeway. I could barely see! :P When I got to my dentist's place, I backed into the parking spot so that the front of my car would face the sun. It worked! The sun melted the washer fluid nozzles enough that I could wash my windshield. :D
-
I hope we hear from him soon.
Tom just called! He's fine and dandy..for the most part. His power went off last night at about 6:30 (I think), so he went to bed. It came on this morning and he went into work. He's home now and said that he'll log-in sometime tonight. :)

I don't know that I would trade for that. I don't even like snow in Christmas movies. It comes from living too long in upstate New York. It snowed one June and I moved shortly thereafter to Florida. I'm staying south. Maybe I'd trade if you were in Rio.

DR George - thanks for checking on DR TCB and reporting back to us! It will be good to see him this evening.
-
John I wish we could trade. There was a lot more snow this morning and it is snowing again now. I bet Craig wishes we had asked him to walk to the mailbox earlier. He needs waterproof shoes. I would have gone if I could walk.

LOL. I remember the April, in Massachusetts, Bryan made a snow bunny and we were all thrilled to have snow. The neighbors were very annoyed with our enthusiasm and said "just wait a few years". At the time I didn't believe them.

A few of the dishes I bought in Mexico. There may be massacres across the border -- the day before we went to Matamoros, 58 people were killed., But did that stop me from going to buy liquor and dishes? No. Although the story of more dying the day we were there and even more on the day after -- well, that stopped me from going back from Matamoros, but not Progresso, which is more stable. And had really good deals on dishes. And liquor.
-
Beautiful, DR John G!
-
The dishes are beautiful. What liquor did you purchase?
-
We are watching the
DN Lauren show Miami/Temple football game on ESPN2. Miami just scored a touchdown, but missed the extra point. I hate when that happens.
-

A bottle of reposado tequila on one trip, a bottle of Chambord (largely to cook with) on another. The third trip I picked up a gift for a friend: It was Controy, the Mexican version of Cointreau. You can't buy it in this country because of the trademark infringement with the name, but the flavor is much better. It's a brighter, fresher orange flavor. It's also less expensive, even if you have drive six hours to get to the border. Controy makes a wicked margarita.

Yum tequila, as long as it doesn't have a worm in it. I'm not a fan of liqueurs, wicked margarita's YES :)

Just read that British actress Ingrid Pitt has died. I was never a big fan of hers, but I certainly saw a lot of her Hammer Studios horror flicks as a kid.

Remember her in Where Eagles Dare.
Sorry to hear that.
We corresponded a few years back re: some project.
I don't recall what it was.
-
Back from visiting my cousin. Mostly it was a few people who'd been at the service. I missed some people like Ruta Lee, who apparently was wearing some sort of huge hat - to which we all need to respond: Does anyone still wear a hat? The answer is a resounding yes, Ruta Lee-wise. I'm told the service was very nice - I was also told that my ex-wife was there - it was predictable, and rather than get the usual withering looks from her I'm glad I wasn't. The only time the withering looks weren't in evidence was when her father died and I went to that funeral - she knows all too well how I feel about funerals, so the fact that I came was meaningful to her.
-
Edisaurus, PM me your e-mail address and I'll get you what you need.
-
I always enjoy seeing cousin Lori and her husband Zach. I'll be having lunch with Lori, who wants a copy of my latest book. My cousin Dodo (Laurie's mother) looks good and seems healthy and her husband Marvin also looks good, although he's using a walker right now - he told me it is his intention to get rid of it asap.
-
My siblings ex's were at both my parent's funerals and my sister's.
-
Bruce I'm glad your visit with your family was enjoyable.
-
Alas, I'm still a bit sinus-y, but I guess I am feeling better. Strangely enough, I also feeling like fasting today, like I should fast today. We shall see. ???
Why don't you fast on Thursday?
-
George, thank you for letting us know about TCB. I knew there were power outages in his area. Glad to hear he is safe!
-
I'm now getting tons of e-mails from people who "just" heard about Carrie. I really don't know how to get the word out any more than what we do, which is, of course, easier and more worldwide than was ever possible back in the day thanks to the Internet.
-
If anyone needs any of the albums I produced elsewhere, ask, because I still have copies here of some of them. We did a sale here about two years ago that was quite popular with the populace.
I don't suppose that you still have a copy of PETER PAN for sale.
-
I'm sure I do, actually - drop me an e-mail and I'll look.

From Edi:
JMK, MBarnum, George! JEWS AND BASEBALL is coming to Portland on April 3rd!
Darn, I am pretty sure I can't go to Portland in April. Will you be there?
Why?
-
I am back from a very long coffee visit with Becky and my errands.
DR Elmore - you might try Edgewood Jewelers (ask Jo, it's in a strip behind UDF in Trenton) for your watch band. One of the jewelers there is Don Miller, owner of the former Miller Jewelry here in Middletown, where Richard and I bought our wedding rings. Or Target - that's where Richard finds bands for his watch.
Becky and My Errands sounds like a 60's girl group.

Well, Becky and I have been friends since the 70s and have done many errands together!

It was really hard not to load up a plate of food while I was at my cousin's - they had all my aunt's favorites - chopped liver, herring in sour cream (both of the latter are the best you'd ever eat), coldcuts and all sorts of other goodies. I knew I had dinner to do so I just couldn't go there. Instead, I had three almonds and one chocolate covered raisin.
-

Tequila shouldn't have a worm in it. Mescal does. Different drink.
I use a lot of liqueurs in cooking. Too sweet for sipping in my book.

John, do you need my address for my Christmas present?

Thank you all for your concerns about my well-being. Last night I got the bright idea to go and turn on my electric blanket up to 5. An hour later the power went out for good, but I was able to climb into a nice warm bed.
-
They just said on the news that on November 3 we had a high temperature of 74 degrees. Today we had a high of 25. Tonight's low temperature should be 13 degees for Tacoma; and lucky Geroge will have a low tonight of 10 degrees.
-
Time for Dancing with the stars. I'll pray for the best!

Wow that was great about the warm blanket TCB!

I thought it was tequila someone gave us with the worm in it. Because of the worm I didn't look at it closely.

Sorry for the question. It's just that I don't have any idea what I am doing November 24, which is tomorrow; let alone have the slightest idea what I will be doing in April.
-
I know what I'm doing on the 24th, staying home ;)
-
Edi knows how much I want to see this movie and I hate that two special events are at the same time. Being that it is April I might end up going nowhere if we have a snow storm.

I'm watching "Glee" and Carol Burnett is the guest as Sue Sylvester's mother. They're in the auditorium singing "Ohio" from Wonderful Town but you can see reflections of the camera crew in the very polished piano! :o

If you would like to send me your address, sure. I don't think coal would break down in the shipping, do you?

That's OK. I didn't much care for them when I first moved to Texas. The more I saw them, however, the more I began to like them. The same with a lot of other Southwestern stuff that I didn't must care for about 10 years ago.
-
Watching "Letters to Juliet" right now. It's more charming than I thought beforehand. Though the reason I got from the library -- Vanessa Redgrave -- is the best reason to see the movie.
-
OK...
Still a bit stuffy-headed...
Need sleep...
Goodnight.
-
I want snow.

-
Hi Sam.
-
I'ts cold here tonight. Maybe down to 30 degrees (cold for me). Maybe ? snow on top of the mountains in the morning. The full moon has just been beautiful during the morning the last few days. I forget to look out the window at night, but I get to see it every morning from the freeway. ;D'
-
Hi Laura. ;)
-
Well, like usual I do not have much to say. Watched Empire last night. Been listening to the radio a lot. Enjoy it a bunch.
-
Night all.
Hugs and smiles.

BK, did you know that Ruta Lee knew your aunt?

I want snow!
ME TOO!!! We keep missing it

Sorry I was E and T, tonight...while the DWS people were cutting the rug...I was literally cutting the rug. The yucky pink carpet is gone. It was pretty disgusting as I cut it up and hauled it out. It took me a while to get all the tack strips off etc. The floors aren't perfect underneath but the hardwood floors look pretty good.
-
I'm kind of tired and a little sore, but now that the bed is in the basement and the carpet is out and that mess is cleaned up, I have decided I don't really care if i get any more done in there over the weekend. So, I'm going to just enjoy some time puttering, reading, dining with mom and dad and relaxing with the cats. I may shop for a rug, but I am not going to any more with stripping wall paper and painting, that is just going to have to wait.
-
Oh I may do some rearranging of furniture upstairs, but that's fun to me.
-
Vibes for Paul would be appreciated for tomorrow. He's going to have surgery on his stomach. I don't quite understand what it is, he said his stomach is literally turning inside out. Now I don't see how that is possible, but he's having surgery on his stomach for some problem. He said he'll call me in the afternoon and doesn't want me to visit him at the hospital. He hates visitors at the hospital and I hate to go to the hospital so that works fine.
-
Vibes for Paul!
-
We have a winter weather advisory in effect for tomorrow. I think we're supposed to get freezing rain and sleet. I would rather have snow. Right now it looks like Mom and Dad shouldn't have any problems driving down on Thursday. If they can't make it, Saturday or Sunday is fine with me. The funny thing is both my brother and sister were all worried about what I was going to do with a full Thanksgiving dinner if they can't get here. I guess they didn't realize I only made reservations.
I should say I have made the whole dinner more than once, but with the iffy weather, I'm really glad I wasn't planning on doing that this year.
-
Thanks Laura!

I saved a little square of the pink carpet that was in good shape because I thought Callie may be upset that it was gone. She's been sitting on the little square of carpet. LOL, I'm glad I saved it for her.
-
There must have been a big spill or water damage of some sort in the past. There was a huge stain showing on the bottom of that carpet. Luckily the floors were ok underneath. Not perfect, but pretty good. I can post some photos tomorrow. I took some but don't feel like dealing with it tonight.
-
I'm fine with the way DWS turned out. It's exactly what I thought would happen. I thought they all did a really good job tonight.
-
Thanks George. I better get to bed. It's late and I have court at 9:00. Just an initial so it will take about 2 min, but if it's icy, it may be a trick to get there.
-
worked from 7 until 11:30 PM
this has got to stop soon orit willkill me

VIBES for all

Of course I knew Ruta knew my aunt. Ruta is very close with my cousin Dodo (aunt's daughter) and she and her husband Web were always at the Jew dinners in the days when I was actually invited to them. I occasionally run into Ruta at various events and she's always sweet as can be.
