Good morning, all! I love my new modem. Perhaps this has been the problem for the past several months with computer speed and other problems?
Last night was another weird dream: THREEPENNY OPERA in Finkelman Auditorium in Middletown, OH, and I was falling out of the balcony. Oy. And this was odd because there is no balcony for the Finkelman Auditorium as I recall.
I have to go outside and check the storm damage, although it doesn't seem too dreadful from the window; I have an editorial date with Mr Skip Kennon at 1 pm. If it's awful, we'll cancel, but the City may be easily to get about today. We'll see. I also need to call my barber Joe and set up a date for tomorrow morning.
BK, why don't you do a recording of the act with Linda and Greg? That way, DR MBarnum will buy it. We haven't had a good Steve-Eydie album in years, and this might be the next team.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Wishes to Kerry and to Donald !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Tuesday morning greetings! We are iced in, with more freezing rain predicted throughout the day :P

Happiest of birthdays to DR Kerry!

A layer of ice to scrape off the windshield and door windows on my car this morning, but otherwise my morning commute was uneventful.
The way they were layering it on last night on the news, I wasn't sure if this snow/ice/rain storm was real or an upcoming NBC TV miniseries event.
-
This looks to be another busy day, dag nabbit!

One of these days I'll have to tell y'all about how Linda Purl played a part in our backstage shenanigans at my college theatre department. There will probably be disapproving looks--it had to do with her TV movie LIKE REAL PEOPLE.
-
A BIG HHW BIRTHDAY HUG TO MR. DONALD FELTHAM!
-
It is a bit cold today (but it's February, so it's supposed ot be cold), but SUgar and I did the MAMBO today in the street on our walk. I would have Mambo'ed the entire way but we ran into a garbage can that someone hadn't taken in from the curb.
-
Thanks you for all the good wishes. I really appreciate it.

And the word of the day is: THIMBLERIG!

Lots of ice - and lots of closing this morning. Much more ice expected by 2 p.m.

Today is the 152nd birthday of Victor Herbert.
I hope some of you will find a moment to listen to a favorite Victor Herbert selection, instrumental or vocal. My choice will be "Barney O'Flynn" from BABES IN TOYLAND, which I believe has one of Glen MacDonough's better lyrics and Herbert writing in his best nationalistic styles.
I think I will venture to the post office and check out the elements.
-
Good morning, all.

Am on hold for the next half hour or more with Southwest, trying to find out if I can cancel my trip. It went from 78 degrees during the day to 37 degrees overnight here. I can imagine what it's like up where I'm supposed to be going.

Happy, happy, Kerry!
Happy, happy, Donald Feltham!

This was a recent vegetable dish I had that was out of this world: Roasted beet salad with truffle oil and a quenelle of goat cheese on top.

The "Catch Me If You Can" website has full recordings of four songs from the show with Kerry Butler, Tom Wopat and more. I listened then last night and liked the music. I wasn't quite as taken with the lyrics, but maybe they'll improve on second hearing.

I watched WE'RE NO ANGELS last night, the Humphrey Bogart version.
The movie has a very charming song in it, "Sentimental Moments". It's by (music) Frederick Hollander and (lyrics) by Ralph Freed.
I've been humming it all morning.
Does anybody know i this song has ever been recorded and, if so, where I might get a copy?
Thanks.

Put Ice Melt on the sidewalk for the mailman - hopefully he will be able to get here before the next round of ice shows up.

Happy birthday to dear Donald!

Happy birthday to Shelley Markham as well.

GOOD MORNING BEN
DAS IST ALLES

The temperature has dropped five degrees in the past hour. Ugh.
Vibes for all those who haven't been able to cancel their travel plans.
-
DR TCB, yesterday I was at 70%. So not really in need of too many health vibes. Just a tiny bit under the weather. But pretty good!
-
DR Jane re: the swimming lanes. There is slow, medium and fast. Truthfully some of the people in the slow lane can barely swim. So i sort of understand why some people who can actually swim go in the medium lane. They are probably a tiny bit better than the people in the slow lane.
My real complaint is that they don't show any conern for those around them. For instance when I swim in the fast lane (i usually have to or go insane) I always make sure i go behind the fast people. I don't want to slow them down.
But these slow swimmers in the medium lane. They are completely unaware of those around them. For instance, yesterday I was waiting to swim because the person in front of me was too slow (so i had to wait till they were 3/4 of the way across). And this slow swimmer just goes ahead of me without stopping to ask if it was okay. Umm if i'm waiting for a few seconds for the person ahead do i then really want to go behind this even slower person?
Protocol is that you wait your turn. And if you want to go ahead you ask.
-
It's VERY cold here in Austin...and it's going to get colder.
>:(
-
Happy Birthday to DR Kerry!
-
Happy Birthday to Donald!
-
I've been to the post office and back in one piece. The streets are slick, a bit icy, and the sky's very very gray with no brightness at all. I just spoke to Mr Skip Kennon and we ar not meeting today. It's fine with me and I may run down to the NYPL for some research.
-
It is my personal opinion that beets should be outlawed.
-
Happiest of birthdays to Kerry and Donald and also Donald and Kerry.
-
It is very windy and very cold here in PDX. The wind actually woke me up several times last night.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm just waiting for the snow...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR KERRY!!!!!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DJ DONALD FELTHAM!!!!!
-
As DR Elmore suggests, I would most certainly buy a Linda Purl / Greg Harrison CD. I like both performers very much, and Greg is an Oregonian, so that makes it even more special.
Linda will be performing in Salem, Oregon, USA later this year and I hope to attend.
-
It is chilly here, but the sun is shining.

I love beets roasted with olive oil. Same with brussels sprouts.

As for the Topic of the Day...
I do love me some Vegetable Tempura and/or Fritto Misto - Nothing like deep-fried vegetables!
Otherwise...
The Farro with Pumpkin side-dish at Becco always makes me happy.
The Roasted Vegetable Salad at George's Garage in Durham, NC. Carrots, fennel, Brussels sprouts, red peppers, shallots, radicchio.

A very happy birthday to our own DR Kerry!!!!

Last night I watched a DVD BIGGER THAN THE SKY which claims to have been filmed in Portland Oregon....but I can't really tell.
-
No ice yet.

A police officer was killed in the line of duty in Indianapolis last month - by a man who should never have been let out of jail - although he claims he didn't do it.
Today, the officer's funeral is being televised. It is very sad.

I'm up, the sky is blue, and I shall answer some e-mails and then do some banking.

To answer MBarnum's question from yesterday - I haven't seen this new incarnation of Linda's act and while I'm sure it contains remnants of what we did, I cannot speak to its structure, song list, or anything, really.

That NEVER stopped me from speaking about something.

Too bad there isn't someone in charge to remind people of proper etiquette. I would be as frustrated as you are.

Been doing email all morning, and not one response to the emails I sent out (all should require a response). Very frustrating.

I love pickled beets and cottage cheese - that probably grosses everyone out.
-

Well actually there are 2 lifeguards there. One on the chair and one who stands at the end who you can ask for help.
The first time this happened (that someone was swimming so slowly) i asked the lifeguard and he said he would say something. But then he said he would watch us all swim just to be sure. And afterwards he decided that I should move to the fast lane.
Sometimes that is okay (I still find it unfair to the other medium swimmers). But I didn't want to go to the fastlane yesterday.

I'm looking forward to it. I've heard great things. It's at the Mitizi Newhouse, a small Off-Broadway theatre. It's supposed to move to Broadway next season (there are no theatres available for the end of this season) but I want to see it now because there is no guarantee that the cast will be the same and it will be a different show in a bigger theatre.

My advice: print receipts as you go. Makes it much easier (at least for me). I also started using an Excel spreadsheet several years ago to track all of my expenses and it makes tax prep a breeze every year.

I called my sister in Joplin, MO to see how they are doing. They have over 18 inches of snow and are really having fun having a snow day. DN Jon is home with his parents and they are cooking, making smores over the fire in the fireplace, doing jigsaw puzzles and having a wee of a time. They have shoveled the driveway three or four times. Not sure why, they don't have plows so once they get to the end of the driveway there's no where to go, lol
-
My sister talked for an hour....yikes! I'm not used to phone calls that last that long anymore.
-
They are lucky they didn't get the ice

I love most vegetables. I am not a big fan of the squash family, but I will eat them. I don't mind the chef putting okra in their gumbo. Hell, even Campbell's puts okra in their gumbo. I admit to being unschooled in Brussels sprouts. All my mother ever did was boil the suckers. I was not impressed.

I cut brussel sprouts in half and either put butter or butter buds - if I'm on a diet- on top of them then put in a dish with a little water in the microwave. Cover and cook til I think they are done. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. I have some in my fridge right now. Should have had them for dinner

This is not directed at anyone on this site, but I know so many vegetarians that it seems like all the foods they eat seem to be in the shape of meat. Vegetarian sausages, vegetarian hot dogs, tofurkey. Why don't they just eat vegetables as vegetables.
If you gave up eating meat would you want a substitute for it?
No, I don't think so. I would think that eating vegetables in the form of meat would remind one of why they stopped eating meat.
I only say that based on my own experiences. I have been a recovering alcoholic for seventeen and a half years; and the one thing I don't do is to go out and order a Virgin Margarita or non-alcoholic beer.

Boston has already removed 37,000 tons of snow this winter! Wow!

My travel agent says she can get me a great deal on a Nile River Cruise!

I see that PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT (THE MUSICAL) is featuring among its songs - I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER.
Have we ever had two musicals running on Broadway, at the same, featuring the same song?

Are you lonesome tonight.............................

The weather is really gruesome here tonight - it's been raining hard for several hours and it's freezing on the pavement, trees, power lines. Now the wind is picking up and we hear that there's a huge power outage in town to the east and south of us. If I disappear suddenly, you'll know why.

A female prison guard in Washington was killed by a prisoner over the weekend. She was killed in the prison chapel by a three-times-you're-out felon. She was required to work in the prison chapel alone, and had asked her superiors several times to change that policy, or to install a camera in the chapel.
Nothing was ever done about her requests.

Oh, and Rob's school is closed again tomorrow, so no paramedic training.

Speaking of good thoughts, has anyone heard from DR td?

Good.

One of the best loved local TV newscasters has been battling a recuring brain tumor for the last 12 years. She has been off the news for several months now, because the tumor has returned.
Tomorrow she goes in for her sixth brain surgery. Today she appeared in an interview of the news and we got to see the effect the tumor has had on her face.
If anyone can spare some health vibes (and / or prayers), her name is Kathi Goertzen.

Thanks, DR TCB. We're fine, except for some water in the basement that Richard and Rob are vacuuming up as needed.

G'night!

I think the opposite is true here. If you find an enjoyable substitute, even if it doesn't taste like meat, it satisfies a craving. In this case a craving is not an addiction & can be satisfied. One of the things I missed was eating a hamburger. Having a nutburger, which tastes very different, on a bun with all the fixings solved my problem & I stopped missing hamburgers.

I'm very relieved Bryan's current rotation is at a hospital close to home. His last one was a long drive away.

But then, in my opinion, she doesn't eat anything that resembles food.
;D Somehow this doesn't surprise me.

We were invited to a wedding in Israel. I'm tempted to go where it is warm & I have friends to stay with. Keith reminded me now is not the best time with things as they are in Egypt.
-
Vibes for Kathi.
DR TCB your other story was very shocking......but staff cutting will always lead to cutting of services, which the NON MERIT politicians in charge never seem to understand. And now where TWO people might have been a deterrent, one person has lost her life.

I watch television lying down, so that second opera clip looked very natural to me.

I see that PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT (THE MUSICAL) is featuring among its songs - I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER.
Have we ever had two musicals running on Broadway, at the same, featuring the same song?
Actually, yes. In 1905. A song was written in 1904 for the spring tour of BABES IN TOYLAND called "Beatrice Barefacts," but the writers liked the song so much, they put it into IT HAPPENED IN NORDLAND which opened in late 1904. In January 1905, BABES IN TOYLAND returned to the Majestic Theatre at Broadway and 59th Street for several weeks of its tour. During that period, audiences could hear Mabel Barrison and Gus Pixley sing it in BABES IN TOYLAND or go to IT HAPPENED IN NORDLAND and hear it performed by Lew Fields and Marie Cahill.

DR JMK I can't find anything about where that Sinatra sample came from......but my guess is one of his television specials instead of a movie.....but who knows.

we are being theatened with ice storms tonight we will see

Almost everything in Indiana is closed tomorrow, so don't try to get anyone on the phone here.

Our lights have flickered a couple of times, so now we're all carrying flashlights with us - just in case. I'm signing off now to take a shower and get ready for bed. Hope to be able to log on tomorrow!

I knew that Kathi Goertzen had had problems before, but I hadn't heard that it had returned. I just don't watch local news anymore. :-\

I guessed she was to prevent a weapon being taken from her.

The "crumbles" that my niece gets as a substitute for ground meat for tacos is pretty good. That's another thing where a meat-like substitute should be used...in my opinion. :)

Someone was asking about David Adam Moore the other day. Here's a bit of him singing Figaro's entrance opera from BARBER OF SEVILLE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULbUBl_kghE
abnd another section with a strange camera angle:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbSqd9EZvws
I found nothing wrong with that camera angle.
Neither did I. ;)
-
And on that note (B-natural), I'm off. Time to head home and ketchup on some TV from the last couple of days.
Until later.

Good Evening!
It's cold in NYC. Thankfully(?), it's not really icy. Yet(??).

I think I would marry David Adam Moore, if he were so inclined.

And tho I don't want to marry them, I do love The Tom Hansen Dancers (with the David Rose Orchestra)

Be safe everyone. I was a bit envious about not having a snow day, but I sort of took one this afternoon. I said I was going to work, but I didn't. :) Our windchills are so bad that my meeting tonight was postponed until next week. I am actually thankful that we missed the brunt of the storm.
-
I see that PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT (THE MUSICAL) is featuring among its songs - I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER.
Have we ever had two musicals running on Broadway, at the same, featuring the same song?
Well... Since the revival/revisal of Promises, Promises closed back on January 2...
-
I'm looking forward to it. I've heard great things. It's at the Mitizi Newhouse, a small Off-Broadway theatre. It's supposed to move to Broadway next season (there are no theatres available for the end of this season) but I want to see it now because there is no guarantee that the cast will be the same and it will be a different show in a bigger theatre.
I also ended up at Lincoln Center tonight, although at Avery Fisher Hall for the New York Philharmonic. -Apparently tonight's weather caused a lot of cancellations which resulted in a lot of "paper" being given out.
-
Does anyone know what Frank Sinatra movie his monologue "The subject of tonight's lecture is rhythm. . .and so we say hip hip chin chin" comes from? I have a remix CD and this song is refusing to leave my brain. :)
I thought that was from one of his Vegas concerts. ???

I felt ham one time, but it just didn't seem kosher.
ba-doom chick!

Is that the Club Des Beluga remix?
-It's quite popular on the ballroom dance circuit.

It is my personal opinion that beets should be outlawed.
;D Fresh beets are at least tolerable compared to the pickled ones.
I love pickled beets.
I like pickled beets too. -Especially when they're topped with horseradish cream.
*I've also grown fond of raw beets lately - very thinly sliced, and drizzled with olive oil, maybe served with orange supremes. -A very tasty, colorful and nutritious salad.
-
Am on hold for the next half hour or more with Southwest, trying to find out if I can cancel my trip. It went from 78 degrees during the day to 37 degrees overnight here. I can imagine what it's like up where I'm supposed to be going.
Cancel your trip? Aren't you required to go?
I also thought it was required.
DR JohnG - I was wondering the same thing. Wasn't your original plan just to postpone your departure by a day? Or has the weather forecast affected your plans?
-
I like okra. It's too expensive out here to buy, though.
Okra should only be eaten in Gumbo.
Or pickled! I love me some pickled okra!
-
There was actually a 40's Sinatra flick where he played a music teacher--I remember a scene in the college with him at the blackboard. My assumption it comes from that movie but I can't for the life of me think of its name. I think it was one of his RKO films.
-
It is windy and cold here. Not as windy and cold as where you all are, but windy and cold for us.

I've actually wondered about that from time to time too. There are some really nice vegetarian restaurants here in NYC, however, I do find it a bit strange when the featured dishes are "mock" versions of beef, chicken and pork. -Especially when some of the restaurants list their ethical(?) reasons for being vegetarian. I'd rather have a dish called "grilled mushroom-and-nut patty" rather than "tastes like beef".
-
Re: vegetarians and "fake" meat. Soy products are not vegetables. They are legumes, they replace the protein part of your diet. When you eat meat, the bulk of the protein you are ingesting is actually second hand, from the legumes and other proteins the cattle or whatever has consumed.

And if you think Tofurkey is in the shape of a turkey, you haven't seen Tofurkey. :)

Brussels sprouts have a completely different texture and taste when roasted with olive oil, TCB.
Of course, my favorite way to prepare Brussels sprouts is to peel off a good number or leaves, douse them in olive oil, and then roast them until crispy... Then finish them off with a good dash of salt... And browned butter... And bacon fat. ::)

It was required, but the airline wouldn't be able to get me there until late Friday, leaving only one day of the residency. The school is now doing what it should have done from the beginning: They are trying to figure out a way I can hear a few of the symposiums via Skype.

That's actually a riff on a Martha Stewart recipe. She - or at least one of her assistants - shreds them first before cooking. -That's just too much effort and too many opportunities for skinned knuckles and shaved finger nails. ;)

I belong in the category of those who don't understand why so much vegetarian food is made to taste like meat. I love vegetables and I eat plenty of them, often without meat. Except I do think pork is a vegetable. It's a food group at least.

. . .and I recommend any meat eater check out this documentary:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082020/
Or watch Oprah as she discusses animal husbandry in the modern mass food age as she's doing her "vegan week."

Night, all. Stay warm.

Well...
Since I have to spend a good chunk of tomorrow getting ready for my trip to Memphis... And since I also have a bunch other stuff to take care of tomorrow...
Goodnight.

Good evening! I was really worried not long ago about the lack of entries for our local film festival. Tonight I am sorting them for the meeting tomorrow. We ended up with 8 grad student and 17 local films. They are all shorts, some very short, but this should be enough to put together a nice showing for the public. It's actually a total of 2:37:14 plus a 17 min over time limit film. I haven't watched them as I had planned, but I'm judging so I'll see them when they are complied on a couple disks. Much easier to view that way.

Hi, I'm Cillaliz. I am an omnivore and proud of it ;) .

Well, that's enough to scare people away...

Time to get some sleep. Must shovel out and get to work by 8:30. The schools are 2 hours late because of the wind chills, but I still need to get to court by 9:00
-
Rehearsal was fun, then I ran to get the book Xeroxed, and then I went to Shelly Markham's birthday dinner at the Daily Grill and now I am home and totally zonked.

I had an exhilaratingly argument-filled day.

Too much net, so time to sleep.

Yes, your argument-filled day is there for all to see :)
