Fred, how did the show at 54 Below go?
Thanks to all for the vibes. My mother is home and resting. The surgery went well and we're back on the drops, but forward we go.
Anybody giving up anything for Lent?
It's today!

Flynn the bichon frise won best in show - he's a cutie.
Anybody giving up anything for Lent?
Yes. I gave up posting at Haines His Way on the day before Lent*.

T.O.D.
What does it mean when you say that Grant is going to design the book?
And what is his design program?
Guess old George fell asleep or is busy watching TV and who knows what TCB is doing?

I was sick as a hacking, coughing dog on Monday, but I was there for the weeks of planning and rehearsals before Monday, so i knew it was going to be great. vixmom was there and reported the other night; she took some photos, and my fave of her photos is a selfie she took of herself with BD Wong, a shot which feels so full of joy!
This seems pretty accurate to me. thoughts?

And where is George - TCB has been sighted. Do people not understand that we worry about them when they don't show up as they usually do, yes or no?
Back to the dentist yesterday. They had a cancellation and I grabbed it. This was for the root planing, done with the hygienist, not the root canal. But the dental chair does no favors for my back, which is really hurting today.
I got up three times during the night, trying to get the heat to come on. Color me even more annoyed.

I'm a Taurus. What does that mean about me...other than I actually do love pizza??
;)
Well I fell down today.....going up the two steps from my room to the living room.
I usually put one foot on the step, then the other - this time I decided to put my left foot on the step and put the right one on the next step.....left leg couldn't hold my weight....down I went....ouch....

Meaning the original Broadway production of SLEUTH, of course.
I gather the intermission crowd was very careful about spoilers when TCB starred in SLEUTH
I know DR ELMORE - but is ingrained in my soul - I just can't help myself.
Ahh-this could color anyone's opinion of said dog breed......
Watching the news from Florida......there are no words to say......at least I don't know them.....
From FJL yesterday:QuoteMeaning the original Broadway production of SLEUTH, of course.

As far as I know the intermission crowd has been pretty good. However, the first time I did the play (1975) the drama critic said in the review, "Since I am sure that everyone already knows the secret of SLEUTH, I don't mind saying....." We were not happy.
Fish....sitting.....is a funny mind picture.
DR VIXMOM and close personal friend B D Wong at the Monday evening event....I think DR FJL referenced this photo earlier today.

Thanks, everyone. I am fine....just a bit sore....I took one of my super duper pain pills left over from surgery....so even if I was in great pain, I wouldn't know it.

Two burly construction workers I would have never thought were cat fosters came for Magnificat Cat Rescue to pick up the cans of food, some stainless steel dishes, litter, and dry food I was donating. They were really great, and I appreciate their willingness to cart it all down the three flights.
And so the kitties and I are going to bed.
This was interesting to read today on All That Chat posted by Michael Portantiere, who co-wrote the coffee table book of "Forbidden Broadway."

When we were putting together our book on FORBIDDEN BROADWAY, Gerard Alessandrini told me this great line actually came from his mother in reaction to GRAND HOTEL when they saw it together.
I kind of wish I hadn't found this out, that what's considered by many who follow him to be one of the all-time greatest Forbidden Broadway lines was not actually written by Gerard Alessandrini. In its own world as to a greatly gifted modern writer's output, it feels like finding out the Bard didn't write "To be or not to be" or "All the world's a stage..."
Of course, in proportion to their relative places in theater history.

Saw that on Facebook. It was wonderful.
Jane asked for an update after the gas company visit:
I HAVE A NEW THERMOSTAT!!! YAY!
Last week when I phoned the gas company the woman I spoke to told me that they don't replace thermostats, but they'd be happy to come out and diagnose the situation. She thought they might be able to replace some of the thermostat parts. She was incorrect; they DO replace thermostats, but cannot repair them, only replace. The technician checked out the heater, found nothing wrong, and said it's most likely the thermostat. I phoned the manager, told her he was here, that it most likely was indeed the thermostat, and said he could replace it for $90. Could we go ahead? After some hesitancy, she gave her permission.
As usual, the technician arrived in the 3-hour window, was very professional, and got the job done. I really don't trust the HVAC guy they use--he doesn't return my calls, shows up without the correct parts (or any parts) and is often a couple hours late. I'd much rather use the gas company. I wish I'd known they could do this; I could have saved myself a lot of grief. Next time I'll just schedule the visit and let the technician tell me they don't do it--if indeed they don't.
And the silliest part is that this was really bugging me and it was solved for $90. I don't see the sense in alienating a good tenant for $90. I was ready to pay for it myself just to have it done. I don't think I'll have to do that now. When someone from the gas company says, "You need a new thermostat" he is believed. I'm not. So, best possible outcome.
Quick-healing vibes to Jrand. Ouch!
I have to call my insurance company about that. But i haven't got time lately. And tomorrow is looking extremely busy again.
Now will someone tell me why when I work for a company that supposedly has great health insurance, my health insurance didn't pay close to 40% of my doctor's bill for the recent surgery?
Watching the first part of Loving Vincent, an animated film about Van Gogh that features hand-painted illustrations from more than 100 artistis, all in Van Gogh's style. Most is true to the originals, but one of the voices is Aidan Turner of Poldark -- and the artist must have fallen in love because the character looks like Turner. I'd say right down to the hair, but the character is wear a hat.
I was in Burger King, eating a grilled chicken salad and cop cars started driving by. I didn't think much of it. When I finished eating and was going to leave, that's when I saw that my car was blocked and I couldn't leave, so I took the picture and came back into the restaurant. I'm otherwise safe and sound. :D

I saw that and bought the Blu-ray! I'd read that they specifically looked for actors that looked like the people in the paintings that they chose to use for the movie.
Scary, George. Glad you are OK.

Glad it went well. Can you use this as a charitable deduction?

The tow truck is here to take away the guy's car. Whew! I can go home soon!

Wow. I am glad you and your car are safe.
Good night, Tom.
A small price to pay to stay alive.
