Well, you've read the notes, the notes did and went, and now it is time for you to post until the doing and going cows come home.

And the word of the day is: HEMATIC!
-
Good morning, all! I have quiet day, now that I have finished all of the prep work for the Appalachian piece.
Tonight I am having dinner with an old acquaintance from Middletown, OH, Helen (now Elena) Rivero, whom I've not seen in nearly 35 years. We were in a production of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE around 1976, and for months after the production, I used to hang out at her apartment with a friend who married Helen's sister Rebeca.
I believe dinner is at the apartment of a friend of hers on 42nd Street.

good morning to all

Saturday morning greetings! Today we're off to Wilmington, OH, for a football game. Heidelberg University is playing there and our dear niece/goddaughter is their grad student athletic trainer. Big tailgate lunch beforehand with her Mom, her boyfriend, his Mom, and Rob and Mary Linda. Go, 'berg!
-
Good morning. I did not want to be up this early today, and yet, I am.
-
I forgot that I have to make a post office trip this morning.
-
Good morning.
I'll have you all know I had a pretty damned fine night's sleep, with my customary weird dreams, the only one of which I can even begin to recall now had to do with some abstraction to the end passage of the LAWRENCE OF ARABIA overture.
I'd been chilly the night and morning before, so indulgently left the heat on through the night. It got to be just a bit much by morning, but felt good anyway. Not to mention anyhoo.
-
DR Elmore -- What was the Appalachian thing you'd mentioned that happens on Monday? When and where? I'm sure I'd greatly enjoy it but might have to try rearranging a couple of things.
-

Sadly, regretfully, embarrassingly, and shamefully, I probably don't know who's British and who isn't, among all the composers I love. For instance, I would not have thought of John Barry.
-
OK, gotta slice apples to go with the caramel dip and pack up our contributions to today's tailgate. Bye for now!
-
Good morning, all.
Busy day. First book signing, which will be at an olive orchard in the area. That's bookended by judging a food truck cook-off this morning and a margarita competition tonight.

DR ChasSmith, I am not sure of the exact time of the reading. We are at Shetler Studios on Monday from 11:30-4:30, but the first half of the day is rehearsal. I expect the reading to begin some time around 2:30-3:00. Shetler Studios is at 244 West 54th Street, and we are in Studio 1 on the 12th floor.
I will know more after tomorrow's rehearsal.

Saturday.....SEE HOW THEY RUN is closing tonight!

DR TCB - I don't have HAVE ROCKET, WILL TRAVEL and can't seem to find a place to download it.....maybe it will show up on TCM sooner or later.

I've decided I can go to the PO onMonday morning before the Shetler Studios rehearsal at 11:30. I will walk over to the post office today nd pickup some Priority Mail cartons.

If anyone says anything or asks questions, tell them you're my guest. I look forward to seeing you. Almost all ofthecast has done either the initial reading or the Hilton Head production. The actor taking David Lutken's role is unfamiliar to me; David's doing a show outoftown at the moment.
We're adding two new numbers tomorrow.

And whilst I wait for the imminent arrival of DR MBarnum...
Here's a short film(?) that some members of the cast of the recent mini-tour of The King & I:
MADE: I want to be a Siamese Wife in The King and I (http://youtu.be/ey9q-svi7H8)
*And there's a special guest appearance by the one and only Baayork Lee!
**And you can also get a glimpse of the actress playing "Eliza" in my upcoming production of My Fair Lady.
***And if you don't get the "MADE" reference, well, it's one of those MTV things. ;) -I had to look it up myself.
-
And the word of the day is: HEMATIC!
And The Song Of The Day Is: BLOOD BROTHERS
-
That is great, DR JoseSPiano.
-
Thank You, DR ChasSmith. -I shall have to make sure that DR MBarnum views it later. ;)
-
And I think I'm going to mosey on down to the lobby and await the arrival of said DR MBarnum. He's still a little about 20 minutes away, I guess, but I also have to make some phone calls.
Laters...

*And if I don't report back tonight, well... You know what to do. ;)

Back from Vienna. Trying to catch up with postings.

Hi, sorry for my E&T-ness. I think I'm back.

Belated birthday wishes to Laura!
-
From DR TCB:
I used to take Amtrack between Tacoma and Portland on a regular basis. I always enjoyed that trip
.
That sounds like a nice trip. I wish the train came our way so I could ride it north.
-
DR Jose did you say where you are staying in Portland? Had I been able to go I would have stayed with our friends who are currently at our house.
-
From DR Laura:
By the way, ten years ago I formally adopted Joshie. He had been a foster that failed adoptions (he growled at everyone), and they let me keep him for the cost of his rabies shot to clear him off their books. I paid it on my birthday on purpose. A birthday gift for myself. Best $11 I ever spent.
:) :) :)
-
And in a few hours, DR MBarnum will be kidnapping taking me around for the day. In the meantime, I think I'm just going to enjoy the quiet morning in my hotel room. I had thought about heading to Voodoo Doughnut (http://voodoodoughnut.com), but I think I need a Day Without Doughnuts. But that could change. ;)
I was very disappointed in the doughnut's once I finally got to taste them. I was very glad I decided not to wait in the hour line. They were ok but, to me, not worth the lines for them.
-
And I think I'm going to mosey on down to the lobby and await the arrival of said DR MBarnum. He's still a little about 20 minutes away, I guess,
Have a fun day exploring areas you didn't expect to see, that is when DR MBarnum takes unplanned side trips ;)

Back from an omelet and a bagel, errands and whatnot, picking up no packages and an important envelope, banking, and now I'm in and must write a blurb, create a show order, and begin commentary. Just scored a great seat for Book of Mormon here the last week of October.
-
Nice picture DR DOUG R - Welles looks great for what he's gone through.

And now I am preparing to be off for the closing night performance of SEE HOW THEY RUN and then the strike which will NOT be as much fun.....

I am getting ready for my dinner date. I hope it will be fun. I haven't seen Helen (Elena) in around 35 years and I have no idea who this friend of hers may be. He's preparing the dinner, and i have no idea what's on the menu!

Topic for TCB - what are your ten most favorite roles you've played.
-
One post per role, of course.
-
Now I'm watching Michigan try to play at Notre Dame. It's not going well...
-
My favorite Brit composers - classical: Vaughan-Williams, William Walton, Gerard Finzi, Arthur Bliss, William Alwyn, Benjamin Britten and many, many others.
Favorite Brit film composers: John Barry, Richard Rodney Bennett, James Bernard, Malcolm Arnold, Alan Gray, Brian Easdale, and many, many others.
Favorite Brit theater composers: David Heneker, Noel Coward, Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse, and I'm sure there are others.

Just took five minutes to get to this damn page. I've written our web host - don't like when this site spazzes out.

Haven't really eaten since the omelet and bagel. Don't want a meal, but, well, donuts?

Here's the most exciting thing we saw during today's Heidelberg/Wilmington game:
"In the ensuing possession, Mees threw an incompletion on first down. On second down, Brooks flashed through the right side of the line, broke toward the sideline and raced 99 yards for a touchdown. That rush broke a 55 year old Heidelberg record, set on a 98 yard run by Walter Livingston in 1956."
We were sitting in the second row along the sideline Brooks followed during this run.
-
Back. The play was so-so. Funny, but tries too hard to be outrageous, I thought. (Mamet's NOVEMBER.) I can honestly say I would rather have been watching one of DR TCB's plays. Great lineup of roles there, sir.
-
I am not overly familiar with British composers but two that come to mind are Handel and Andrew Lloyd Webber...
-
Just got done going through a huge genealogy file a cousin sent me. He had some info I did not have and a he was spot on for a lot information I had.
I did have my amusements with the family of unisex names. He only had first names and no middle names or marriage information. Hmmm makes it interesting to select the gender... I put them as question marks....
-
I have noted that one the lines in my database has a preoccupation of using the last name of the wife as of the wife as a first name...
-
Good Evening!
Well... One thing I can say after spending the day with DR MBarnum: he didn't hit anyone with his car.
::)
-
Otherwise...
It was a really great day. :)
We started off with a Lebanese lunch at Habibi (http://www.habibirestaurantpdx.com)...

Then it was on to Everyday Music (http://www.everydaymusic.com) and Hollywood Vintage Vendors before we stopped into Pix Pâtisserie (http://www.pixpatisserie.com) for some coffee and dessert... Well... Desserts...
-
We originally ordered three desserts to share between us: The Pixie, Big Cheryl's "Ghetto" Cake and The Concord. However, DR MBarnum decided he wanted something a bit more substantially dark-chocolatey, so he got an Aphrodite too.

*We're still not exactly sure what the bull was doing on the top of the pastry shop, however, it also doubled as a tapas and wine bar, so... Or maybe it was a reference to "La Buf sur la toit"?
-
And then we drove around the Hills of Portland looking at all the very nice houses and very nice cars. We stopped into Powell's Books (http://www.powells.com)... WOW! Then after a nice walk along the waterfront, we settled into a table at Queen of Sheba (http://queenofsheba.biz) for dinner.
And since Queen of Sheba is an Ethiopian restaurant...

OH!
And one of the reasons I was texting and Facebook-ing and phone calling was that I found out that my cousin, Kristine, and her husband, Pedro, welcomed their brand new Baby Boy to the world! His name is Ariston. :)

Congrats to DR Jose's cousin and family!!

Looks like you two had a great time!

And in a few hours, DR MBarnum will be kidnapping taking me around for the day. In the meantime, I think I'm just going to enjoy the quiet morning in my hotel room. I had thought about heading to Voodoo Doughnut (http://voodoodoughnut.com), but I think I need a Day Without Doughnuts. But that could change. ;)
I was very disappointed in the doughnut's once I finally got to taste them. I was very glad I decided not to wait in the hour line. They were ok but, to me, not worth the lines for them.
I've heard that some of the flavors at Voodoo can be a bit "hyped" up. However, I've also been advised to always ask "What just came out of the fryer?" since not all of their varieties turnover at the same rate. Freshest is bestest. ;)
-
Great photos, DR Jose!
I am drunk on my ass and heading to bed. The dinner was wonderful.
-
And now...
I think I'm just going to relax in my hotel room for the evening. Tomorrow I'm meeting up with a classmate of mine from college, as well as opera colleague. And I'll most likely start my day off with an early trip to Voodoo for a doughnut or two, followed by a nice bike ride around the Willamette River.
-
Great photos, DR Jose!
I am drunk on my ass and heading to bed. The dinner was wonderful.
Thanks, DR elmore. -I hope we can catch up in person in NYC sometime sooner rather than later. It's been way tooooo long since we've seen each other face-to-face.
Glad you had a wonderful dinner and good time. Sleep well.

How exciting. I wish I could be there.
I agree.
Thank you both.I will hopefully be up to writing more tomorrow. I'm too tired now to even catch up on the postings.

Well, it took three hours of my Saturday night, but I wrote the contextual commentary and finished it. I'm sure I'll finesse it after a few days, but boy is it great to have that done.
-
I really hope DR MBarnum is back home by now. Unless he happened to make another stop or two in Portland after he dropped me off at my hotel. ;)
