Richard and I have an appointment at 11 with a friend who needs a couple of non-family witnesses to a form he has to sign. After that I will see what's what at the hospital and go visit my mother. She has some garage sale stuff for us and will want a report on Aunt Jo.

In that regard, thanks to DRs Laura, FJL, MBarnum, Cillaliz, and Vixmom for the vibes I found this morning!

Post by: elmore3003 on June 02, 2011, 04:38:28 AM: Good morning, all! I think I had at the most 3-4 hours of sleep. I am quite exhausted, Luckily, my meeting at the McGlinnventory will - I hope -be brief, and I will stop by Toyland to check on things before I head back uptown, where I will most likely lie in a zombie-like state for the remainder of the day.

I have very little else to report. Like the wonderful vixmom, I send prayers and vibes to all the DRs for the safety of themselves and those they love. I'm happy to hear there was a good crowd for the show at the Gardenia, and next month when our BK frets about audience turnout for Kander & Ebb, we can all thumb our noses at the silly boy. I am happy the show went well, and it sounds like the reluctant performer got his act together. I do love Alet and Andy.

And that leads to the TOD:
I like the full scores to:
THE HAPPY TIME
CABARET, and the latest published vocal selection contains many cut songs as well
70 GIRLS 70
CHICAGO
ZORBA
I like portions of the scores to:
FLORA THE RED MENACE
WOMAN OF THE YEAR
THE RINK
I didn't much care for whatever title is current for the K&E musicalization of THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH, but there were a couple of good songs: the Fortune Teller's and especially Sabina's lfinal one.

Post by: John G. on June 02, 2011, 04:38:48 AM: TOD:

Hit It, Lorraine
See the Light
Coffee in a Cardboard Cup
Sometimes a Day Goes By
I Don't Remember You
The Happy Time
Let's Hear It for Me
Isn't This Better?
Dear One
Sing Happy
There Goes the Ballgame
Second Chance
Colored Lights
Chief Cook and Bottle Washer
All That Jazz

We have two official days for the 4th of July (Monday and Tuesday) so I will take another 3 days that week. I don't know if we will venture anywhere but it will be nice to be out of the office.

I am also going to Michigan in August for a family reunion.

Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT THE GARDENIA 10
Post by: Amy on June 02, 2011, 06:53:30 AM: The Kritzerland at the Gardenia 10 show was wonderful last night! I noticed it was a little shorter show than usual, running only 75 minutes, instead of the usual 90, so I was a little disappointed when Bruce said, "And for the last song of the evening...". I kept waiting to hear "You're Nothing Without Me" from "City of Angels" since that can be such a funny song, but Mark reminded me that Bruce is always aiming for the more obscure songs. Still, I was surprised it was omitted, but all the songs chosen were great. I was going to comment that this was the very first Kritzerland at the Gardenia show we attended where no one forgot any lyrics! But now I know the truth - they just covered really well. During, "Hey There Good Times" I kept thinking, wow, that's a lot of lyrics for a little girl to memorize - the song is very fast and very wordy and I kept waiting for her to flub, but she sang the whole thing from beginning to end splendidly, even if she did reverse two verses. I did notice Alet sang, "the WRONG way to play a fool" and I think maybe that was supposed to be "the RIGHT way to play a fool." But she was hilarious nonetheless. Andy Taylor came out wearing very bright blue eye glasses for "Real Live Girl" and I kept staring at them thinking, who would go to the optometrist and choose glasses like that?! But then he wasn't wearing them for the other songs he did, so I realized they were just gag for that particular song. Well, it worked on me - he looked like quite the nerd, and the song was very funny. On the way there, Mark and I were trying to figure out which Target we should stop at on the way home. We have three bathrooms in our house and only one of them had toilet paper. Well, we looked up from the Gardenia marquis and there was the big bullseye logo. So, we were able to walk across the street and buy our much-needed TP, and the weather was still warm for a nice stroll.

And I lost my sunglasses - we were at a place called Pomodoro before the show - I was pretty sure I'd had hooked on the neck of my sweater, but maybe I put 'em on the table. I called and they haven't found them as of yet. I also called the Gardenia and asked them to check so we'll see about that - those are the only two possible places.

I have an extra week of vacation to use this year. I already used a day for my Follies trip in DC.

For the first time in my 27-year career for the library, I am at our use-it-or-lose-it vacation time limit! I HAVE to take time off this month. I've never been there before...at one point, I only had four, count 'em FOUR hours of vacation! So, two weeks from tomorrow, my friend Margo and I are going to a Seattle Storm women's basketball game (my niece bought tickets and can't go that night) and I'll just take another day off, some other time. ;D

I have no plans (or money) to go anywhere for a real vacation, so I'll just use up the time as I need to.

No and he never even said to go back if i didn't get better.

My sore throat stopped hurting immediately. The drowsiness was from the meds. My sinuses were still hurting. But i've been using the neti-pot every day and now they feel good.

My only problem is that my energy is not that high. It's much better than i was when i was sick. Just not high enough to do the biking/swimming i'm used to. I will try to do 20-30 minutes of biking tomorrow if there is no wind.

Title: Re: KRITZERLAND AT THE GARDENIA 10
Post by: Cillaliz on June 02, 2011, 06:46:13 PM: It's still really strange. We know the water is coming, but it isn't here yet, well there is flooding, but it's hard to imagine the flooding that they say is coming our way. No one knows exactly what is going to happen. There are all sorts of crazy rumors spreading like wildfire. The way they are suddenly shutting off areas to the public and really building levees, dikes and berms or whatever you want to call them, makes me think maybe the news is worse than they first told us.

The two things that they didn't start talking about until today are water table and run off if we keep having rain. One area has been told that they have evacuate by tomorrow, another is being advised to get out because of the water table and at the minimum to get everything out of their basements and move it to a upper level.

This is surreal. It's also very distracting. I'm having a terrible time trying to get any work done. That's why I gave up this afternoon and went on a photo expedition. I plan to document it all in photos. I did that when we had a flood at the lake in 1993. It's fascinating to look back, haven't done that in awhile
