Morning Larry.
Oatmeal with cranberries, walnuts and cinnamon, and coffee.
And the word of the day is: MARMOREAL!
Greetings from Toyland!"Moon of My Delight" is such a pretty song.
Today I am pursuing materials for Rodgers & Hart's unique comic opera CHEE CHEE.
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm aleady having coffee and doughnuts.
And in a few hours, I shall be meeting DRs TCB and George for the first time! -And they may end up having doughnuts too.
As for the Topic of the Day...
-I played little league baseball and was a truly horrible player. The number of fly balls I let drop to the ground instead of in my baseball glove is legendary. ;) -And, of course, the one fly ball I attempted to catch tipped the top of my glove and landed on my right eye. Ouch!
Peet's Coffee!
Large latte with an add shot.
That's 4 (count 'em 4) shots of espresso.
My daily pick-me-up!

Unbalanced, indeed!
Rehearsal went well. Got the news that James McCloskey, who, for many many years taught and/or ran the LACC Theater Academy has passed away. He was ninety-five, so what an incredible and very long life he had. I did many shows with him, and wrote the musical version of The Comedy of Errors with him, and he was responsible always for letting me come back and do my new musicals there. I saw him about two months ago, and he has always been very supportive of whatever I've done. He went into the hospital for some surgery and passed away there.

Were those falls used in "Twin Peaks", or was that somewhere else around there?

Good Afternoon!
Well...
This happened... :)
bk - So sorry to hear about the passing of your friend and colleague. It sounds like he had not only a long life, but led a very generous one too.
So...
George and and TCB drove up to my hotel, I hopped in the car, and away we went up to the Snoqualmie Casino! Once we got to the casino we had lunch - Thank You Very Much, DR TCB! - and also took a little bit of time to do some gambling. *I actually came out ahead by $10. Of course, if I had actually decided to play roulette as soon as I walked up to the table, I probably would have come out ahead quite a bit more since my numbers came up three times in a row, but... well... yadda-yadda-yadda...
After we left the casino, we took a drive over to Snoqualmie Falls so that I could see, well... the Snoqualmie Falls. It was quite beautiful, and the view path is set up nicely so you could get a couple of different, well.. views. When I first stepped out, I thought it was raining, but soon realized I was feeling the mist coming up from the falls down below.
And then it was back in the car and back to downtown Seattle.
All in all, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours in Seattle. DR TCB was a very gracious host and tour guide, and DR George was a great chauffeur. -And the food at the casino buffet was actually pretty good too. Oh, and I left some doughnuts for both of them to share during the drive home and/or for a late night snack and/or breakfast tomorrow morning.
P.S.- I did not get the memo about the matching shirts. ::)
I now have a new air conditioner with a remote contol!
Now he'll never leave the house!
Oh...
And Monkey enjoyed the falls too...

Wednesday night we started band. My shoulder was pretty sore, but not as bad as a couple weeks earlier, so I'm glad about that. It was so good to be back playing again. I'm going to miss the Christmas concert this year, but I'm ok with that. I'll be there for fall and both of our spring concerts.
