Today, I'm ushering for the two, count 'em TWO performances of the touring production of The Wizard of Oz (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2011/1/8/the-national-tour-of-the-wizard-of-oz.html), performing in downtown Olympia! I need to be at the Washington Center by 12:30 pm...at least parking is free on weekends. I need to shower, get dressed and get something to eat before I get there, so I must act quickly. It's gonna be a fun day in Oz!
Have a good day, all!
The meeting this morning was fine. The helper's boyfriend and the helper's best friend will coordinate and get done what needs to be done, so that it's not all falling on my shoulders. Apparently our vibes and xylophones are working but we're going to have to keep them coming VERY strongly for another two weeks, I think. One piece of advice I gave them was heeded and that apparently did some good.
CONTINUED VIBES!!!
Hey, Lar, see you later!
.
I saw him most recently on one of those "Hollywood" mystery shows that used to be popular. He owned and lived in a rather notorious house....but now I can't recall if it was the George Reeves home or the Jean Harlow/Paul Bern manse.
Good morning all!
I also started my job hunt on-line. There really isn't anything out there in my price range and I know it will take some time to find.
I can't wait to get the heating back on line. I know 58 doesn't seem very cold to some of you but that the temp in my living room as I type this. I have a small space heater on but considering all the fires that our area has had, I really don't like using it.

Perhaps DR MBarnum would know; I suspect that there was some stalking. Mr Kincaid was 70, you know!
The monthly appearance of the exterminator is sometime this morning.Somehow, that sounds downright scary. Do you and Ant hide when he comes? :)

And the word of the day is: SOCKDOLAGER!
Good morning all!58 is cold. I tried to keep the heat off here until December, but when the thermostat hit 58, I turned it on. To 63. That is not comfortable for me, but it's better than freezing all the time. I now have it on somewhere between 63 and 67, depending.
I finished the laundry, got gas for Bonny, food for the dogs and then for me and still forgot to stop off at the local CVS to pick up a prescription refill for my BP. Guess I'll have to make a quick run over to get that.
I also started my job hunt on-line. There really isn't anything out there in my price range and I know it will take some time to find something that I feel will make me happy. Now that I've made the decision to move on, I feel better.
I had a weird dream last night about---vampires. I haven't read or seen any movie about them so it was strange that they would pop up. They were good vampires. A family or group of friends if I remember correctly.
I can't wait to get the heating back on line. I know 58 doesn't seem very cold to some of you but that is the temp in my living room as I type this. I have a small space heater on but considering all the fires that our area has had from people using them, I really don't like using it. I won't leave it on when I pop over to get my prescription sometime this afternoon. Hopefully it will be warmer by then.
I'm going to try to make a knock off recipe for Olive Gardens Chicken and Gnocchi soup for dinner tonight. I think that a good hot bowl of soup will help to warm me up.
I delayed going out yesterday because two of my all time favorite movies were on--Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride II. They are both a two hankie type of movie. I lose it every time.
Not much else going on so laters all!
More exhilarated than exhausted here. Just reviewed details of upcoming Herb Alpert & Lani Hall shows in Boston & New York City in about five weeks! A good friend is flying in from London to join us. Front row tables at both venues! Really looking forward to the NYC show in the Allen Room at Lincoln Center - behind the stage is a huge wall of windows, looking out on Columbus Circle.
BTW, their new CD, I Feel You, is due out Feb. 8th on Concord.
And continued waves.Ditto the Ditto!!!The meeting this morning was fine.

I would hope the ants didn't hide from the exterminator. But Ant, yes.The monthly appearance of the exterminator is sometime this morning.Somehow, that sounds downright scary. Do you and Ant hide when he comes? :)
I liked REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONER that MR BK mentioned in the notes......I saw it at the drive in movie theatre a couple of times in the last century.
I enjoyed Mr Michael Moriarity (he played The Gentleman Caller on television in the Katharine Hepburn television version of THE GLASS MENAGERIE. However, I had to turn the movie off because of Susan Blakeley's "intense" performance as a police informant.....she is certainly a graduate of the Jill St. John/Yvette Mimieux Dramatic School with a major in indication.
Hiya, kidz, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I've been busy and a half - working at the theater and the ballet - got some very good news yesterday, about a large grant I wrote for said ballet... It's true, it's true: everything IS beautiful at the ballet...
Friday started our extended run of the LA premiere of Cormac McCarthy's SUNSET LIMITED at Rogue Machine Theatre, after a 2-week hiatus. Still filling the house. Wow, what a good show - I'm still so proud to be a part of that org!!! Just sent in another large grant request for them, too...
Family 'stuff' continues apace. Not something to discuss here...
Well, off I go to my weekly gig at rehab! Still love that job.
(Oh! forgot to say: I found out in a company newsletter that the LA premiere of my show happens in May at Rogue Machine! Whaddaya know!)
love hugs kisses
Really looking forward to the NYC show in the Allen Room at Lincoln Center - behind the stage is a huge wall of windows, looking out on Columbus Circle.Is this the room?
I like the sounds of the isolation with the sounds of the waves.

It is nice to have you posting again. :)
Love the Allen Room! I saw a tribute to lyricist David Zippel there a few years ago. Among the performers: HHW's own Jason Graae & Brent Barrett and a young Sierra Boggess, who's had quite a career since, starring in Phantom in Las Vegas, The Little Mermaid on Broadway and currently Love Never Dies on the West End.
On January 1st a new over the air station began broadcasting. It's called Antenna TV and it's a mix of cheesy movies, 3 Stooges, Benny Hill and late 50s, 60s, 70s and some 80s sitcoms. Right now they are showing the pilot episode of Here Come the Brides.
They are also showing, relatively in order, the Partridge Family. We have to look out for Bruce's episodes.
Somehow my post ended up inside the quote! I'll get the hang of this someday!
The laundry is in the dryers, the bathroom is mopped, and the bed is made.
When I was in Ohio last month, the lady who's taking my collection of papers into the Rare Books and Manuscripts division asked me to begin a list of Friends and acquaintances for reference to corrspondence, etc.
So, this morning I've been adding names and comments to my lists.
Good morning all!

DR Danise, heating, job & winning the home vibes!!!!Thanks DR Jane. I'm not ashamed to take all the vibes I can get!
DR Jose I am GREEN with envy. You have the most spiffy jobs!
Toby was so cute today. He brought me just about every toy he owns at one part of the day or the other.
Good morning, all! Since I will be away tomorrow and Tuesday, I am up early to so laundry. I wish I were sleeping in. Last night's dream was something convoluted about post offices, a closing performance of something that I was attendng with Marni Nixon, and a shopping bag of unopened mail that I was carting about while looking for my shoes.
First, coffee.

I'm back from a great day of meetings and social calls. It was great to spend time with DR Ben and Anthony. They are splendid hosts and I love visiting them.
haven't been able to warm up today, even with the heater kicking in occasionally. Ugh. Thankfully, I'm headed out to dinner. Maybe my friends' house will be warm.

A friend and a fellow thespian, who i have known for 40 years, is still a student of Ms Nixon. I managed to meet her once when I was still in high school.

Marni's a wonderful lady. When you come to visit, we'll go see her.
I know Jared Loughner's lawyer. She's one of the best.
Are "they" guessing if it will happen tonight or during the week? Good weather vibes!
Cillaliz, why was he only charged with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder? Don't all the other people count?
Never mind. I see they are federal charges. I'm sure the rest will be charged by the county.
I know Jared Loughner's lawyer. She's one of the best.
Has she been named publicly yet? Last I read they were looking for one out of the area.

Oh sheesh! I should have read your next post instead of going into a long explanation
Thank you, Cillaliz. I appreciate your detailed answer.
I was afraid maybe the other people weren't "worth it," which would be a terrible thing.

Yes, I heard about it on TV. Her name is Judy Clarke. She represented the Uni-bomber Ted Kazinsky (sp?) and Susan Smith
I think she does mostly death penalty work
Never mind. I see they are federal charges. I'm sure the rest will be charged by the county.
Oh sheesh! I should have read your next post instead of going into a long explanation
Glad it was helpful. I'm just amazed they got that much done on a Sunday
Thanks for that explanation, Cilla.Ditto. The Unibomber and Susan Smith? Guess she appreciates challenges.
Wow! Can we borrow him, Vixmom?Neither have we.
(Note: I like our pastor; but we haven't brought in any new members lately.)
