Well, you've read the notes, the notes had Drama 1001 and to infinity, and now it is time for you to post until the 1001 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: NIMIETY!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
First post after BK.
-
First post after TCB!
-
THE Roz Kind??
-
THE Roz Kind??
Whoops! Sorry.
-
T.O.D.
ASK BK DAY
THE Roz Kind??
-
The, yes.
-
Do you think the Brolins will attend?
-
The, yes.
That's pretty darned cool!
-
Maybe I should ask if Kevin will attend?
-
Good night, again.
-
Maybe I should ask if Kevin will attend?
I was just wondering that myself. :)
-
Good night, Tom.
-
And it's bedtime for me.
Have a good day, all!
-
The real problem with our show was the quick sell out and that Elizabeth Sherman suddenly decided to invite every person they know - and is using up almost all of our allotted tickets - I don't know if I'll even have four for myself once we take care of the cast, which is going to be a whole other thing since two of them have asked me for eight seats each - good luck.
-
Just had a very long but good conversation with our producer, Gregg, who's Richard's son, apprised him of the goings on, he commiserated with me, we have a plan and hopefully from here on in it gets easier.
-
Get me off this damn page.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Man oh man oh man, that must have been some drama. Hope things proceed according to plan now.
-
I have pitifully little to report this morning.
The MD and I had a nice dinner meeting last night re what he needs me to cover on keyboard in ANNIE, so I got me some programming to do. And I'll do more work on the songs for Sunday's "cabaret".
-
Good morning to all
-
I take it Johnny Whitaker is going to do something from Tom Sawyer.
-
Annabelle and I did our patrol. She rides on my shoulder and desperately needs a nail clipping.
-
Last night I began Cleveland Amory's The Cat and the Curmudgeon. I'm not enjoying it as much as his first book about Polar Bear, The Cat Who Came For Christmas, but that may change.
-
Amory and Polar Bear are buried next to each other at Black Beauty Ranch, an animal sanctuary he established in Texas. I need to get the same burial instructions for Annabelle and Thatch into my will. I suspect at least one will outlive me. I'd like to hope both do.
-
Annabelle and I have made our patrol. We met our new neighbor in 2A who was taking garbage to the basement. One item was an empty Chewy's box. He has a cat, too.
-
Wednesday morning greetings! Never made it to the grocery last night due to thunderstorms, so today it's imperative that I make that trip. I'm having trouble adjusting to reality...
-
Couldn't the overflow audience be invited to an invited dress? (Sometimes, that can feel even more special.)
-
George, thanks for that link in last night's posts to Rita Moreno at the Hollywood Bowl! That was fun!
-
Of course, this other prescient (or was it?) lap dance Rita Moreno gave Charlie Rose on morning TV on his 75th birthday, playing her character from "One Day at a Time"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilaEOKT4cRI
-
And yes, it sounds to me like Rita's singing "Happy birthday to Jew!"
-
RITA MORENO, FROM TAP DANCE TO LAP DANCE - my new retrospective article.
What was that quote (almost): The EGOT-winning gifted Ms. Moreno has never passed up an opportunity to complain about her wonderful rewarding career in show business.
-
Good afternoon, all!
-
I haven’t kept up with the career of Johnny Whitaker. I guess I can google it.
-
I'm up, I'm up - about six and a half hours of sleep.
-
Yes, Whitaker is singing from Tom Sawyer.
-
There is no invited dress.
-
Or any dress.
-
Or any dress.
Hmm, if there's no dress, that costuming choice might appeal to Charlie Rose.

When I was a wee tyke, I always assumed it was the actors playing Buffy and Jody who were the actual stars of FAMILY AFFAIR. So I'd thought for quite a while that Brian Keith was the actor playing Jodie and Sebastian Cabot was the actress playing Buffy.
I was excited to see that "Brian Keith" was starring with Doris Day when when I went to see "With Six You Get Eggroll" (on a double bill with Elvis in "Clambake") and then realized while watching the film who Brian Keith was, that he was the adult Uncle Bill, and that Buffy and Jody (who were the show's "stars" to very young me) weren't credited until the FAMILY AFFAIR closing credits.
-
From Bruce:
I think you mean "start" doing his job - he's not doing his job at all. I literally had to tell him not to do ANYTHING until after he's done the move on Friday other than our rehearsal for ninety minutes tomorrow.
I wrote "Bruce I hope the guy is ok after the move and you can stop doing is job." That should have been his vs is which kind of changed the meaning. Yes, I hope after the move you can stop doing his job and he will begin doing his job.

Oh, this is funny. When did you finally see THE PARENT TRAP?
-
Fun random stuff from the "With Six You Get Eggroll" wiki page:
Blended family premise
The film was released only four months after United Artists' Yours, Mine and Ours. While both films have the same premise—that of a widow and a widower marrying each other and creating a blended family—the United Artists film was based on a true story and was a huge commercial success (if not critical) becoming the 11th highest-grossing film of the year.
Although there are similarities between this film [ meaning ...Eggroll ] , Yours, Mine and Ours and the later ABC television show The Brady Bunch that premiered in 1969, the original pilot script for The Brady Bunch predated the scripts for both of these films.

I recall seeing THE PARENT TRAP on TV first. Never in the movie theater, as far as I can remember. I'm pretty sure it was in our apartment on East 14th Street in Flatbush, before we moved to Luna Park-Coney Island area, so it had to be before I was 10.
-
George, thanks for that link in last night's posts to Rita Moreno at the Hollywood Bowl! That was fun!
You're welcome! Jerry Herman's Broadway at the Hollywood Bowl was the very first DVD that I ever owned! I remember buying it in a no-longer-existing DVD store in the Capitol Mall on the west side of Olympia (the mall is still there, though). Since I started buying CDs four years before I ever bought a CD player, which I still have, I knew that I'd get a DVD player someday. I don't remember how long it was before I got a DVD player, but it wasn't four years. ;)
-
Maybe I should ask if Kevin will attend?
I was just wondering that myself. :)
I’m wondering too! It doesn’t look good. I’m on the waitlist but that probably won’t matter. BK—do you think I should fly out there and hope there’ll be a cancellation ?!
-
I see I did another great job of “quoting!”
-
Waiting for the dentist. Joy.
-
I spent the morning doing damage control and stuff that I should not have to do, but I think it will help - I have someone printing out and taping all the band stuff and he'll Fed Ex that by Thursday (next) or sooner. He'll also be able to deal with any key changes should we need them. I called in yet another favor so the drums and bass parts that need to be done for another song will get done so one less thing to worry about. I still have two arrangements to work out, but that isn't going to happen until Sunday. I also have to go to Staples and get a couple of things printed and scanned onto a flash drive - I'll do that first thing tomorrow morning.
-
Now working on liner notes and packaging stuff for the release we'll hopefully announce either tonight at midnight or tomorrow at midnight, probably the latter.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Mega anti-stress vibes to BK and anyone else who needs them.
-
I had my hair cut today and picked up a little Hollywood gossip...
-
One of Richard's hairdresser friends from his studio days called him. An actress from a very popular TV show went into a large Beverly Hills hair salon to have her color touched up. She was charged an OUTRAGEOUS amount of money AND they botched it. The friend wanted to know if Richard could fix it. He did. Richard's shop is a little, no-frills place nowhere near Beverly Hills. Nowhere near the prices, either.
-
Hollywood gossip-lol
-
As you can see, I have no news.
I did, however, order a desktop AC unit and will fill you all in on it once it arrived and I've had a chance to use it.
Stay cool. TTFN.
-
Good luck the AC works well, and arrives quickly.

Kevin. I really admire how you pick up and fly where you want to go so easily!

You mean they still charged her after they botched it?? :o
-
Talk about nerve!! :P
-

Thanks, FJL. It doesn't always work out. Sometimes the fares are ridiculously high and I come to my senses!
-
Rehearsal soon - pray for Rosemary's Baby. I have taken a shower and am very calm.
-
I must be off. Today is my sister's boyfriend's birthday and we're getting together at my sister's. She asked if I could get some ice cream, so I will. I couldn't think of a gift, but I remembered that I have some unused Fish Tale Brew Pub (https://www.fishbrewing.com/home) gift cards, so I'll give him those. He goes their fairly regularly. :)
Be back later.
-
The dentist covered the broken tooth, but I have to go back for the actual filling.
-
That means two more visits to the dentist this month.
-
I think I'm paying him as much as I paid for the kidney surgery earlier this year.
-
Half Price Books is having a sale this week. I picked up a couple of DVDs for cheap, Judgment at Nuremberg and Paris When It Sizzles.
-
I also found a double-disc set of Britten's opera, Paul Bunyan, with a libretto by W.H. Auden. For all of $6. Then 30% off.
-
I may take it with me on the road to San Angelo this weekend.
-
Starting to watch the Seduction of Mimi. I don't know that I ever saw this film of Wertmueller's. It's rather heavy handed, but I find a lot of her movies to be the same. They're still more interesting than a lot of stuff out there.
-
Where is everybody today?
-
They're certainly not helping move us beyond page 3!
-
Where did today go?
-
I had a very good dinner at a new-to-me Mexican place in the neighborhood. Excellent Pollo Norteno, which is chicken fajitas with a ranchera sauce and a blanket of cheese. It was served with an enchilada verde, some great and smoky refrieds, rice and lettuce.
-
I had to think of Vixmom.
-
Vixmom, are you ready to come to San Antonio for some real enchiladas?
-
We got your chicken enchiladas.
-
Cheese enchiladas.
-
Enchiladas verdes.
-
Enchiladas divorceadas (two sauces).
-
Enchiladas de mole (poblano sauce)
-
Enchiladas poblanos (a poblano cream sauce)
-
Enchiladas Mexicanas (topped with queso fresco, pork and a guajillo cream sauce)
-
Enchiladas rancheras (a tomato and onion sauce)
-
And hundreds more.
-
Four!
-
Good evening.
-
We had a lovely rain a couple of days ago. Today I did some much-needed yard work. Somehow i agreed to be part of a garden tour in the fall, and I have SO MUCH yard work to do.
-
Pollo Norteno....wasn't she engaged to Rudolf Valentino when he died?
-
No more drama vibes for MR BK.....stressful...and unnecessary......
-
Final dress tonight - opening night tomorrow....we shall see what the audience thinks.
I am moving all of my CDs or MOST of them to another room....and putting them in ORDER....which will make my life easier....
-
But it's too darn hot.....
-
Vixmom, are you ready to come to San Antonio for some real enchiladas?
Yes, yes I am.
-
But I need one of those special cheap fares. Everyone keep an eye out
-
Today is my Mom's 86thbirthday
-
It was also the annual church trip to our local minor league baseball stadium
-
Mom decided that's what she wanted to do fir her birthday
-
So my brother and his wife and my mom and I went to the game
-
We had second row seats along the third base line
-
The game was tied 3 -3 almost the whole game in the 9th inning our tea hit 2 double in a row and won the game
-
And there was great rejoicing
-
They put my Moms name on the score board for her birthday
-
We had a passing shower but I was prepared and brought ponchos for us
-
Enchiladas verdes.
If you like green enchiladas
And getting chips in the rain...
(oh, wait, has that been done?)
-
And when the game was over there was a 15 minute long, really good , fireworks show
-
Happy birthday to mom of vixmom.
-
There are a couple pictures on FB, I will see if I can move them here
-
At the game
-
Today: Much better day - no drama at all. Just a lot of extra work but in the end if it makes things easier then it will have been worth it, as hard as it was - I literally except for a quick meal, never stopped. I also wrote a set of liner notes so that was good. Rehearsal was much better and really quite fun - I was determined to have it be calm and fun and I made sure it was. Peyton, our talented thirteen year old, is going to bring the house down with her number, and I've got two fifteen-year-olds doing Let's Get Together exactly as it was done in the movie so that's really fun. I had a choreographer here to make sure they were on point, but he didn't have to do much besides clean-up work, as the girls had learned it right from watching the film. And Robert Yacko is doing The Whimzy Works, so he was in and out.
-
Went to Ralph's and got some cucumber and avocado roll and some pudding cups.
-
Probably too late to watch anything but maybe I'll go see what there is.
-
Pollo Norteno....wasn't she engaged to Rudolf Valentino when he died?
If she were, it would have been a lousy marriage.
-
At the game
Happy birthday, Vixmom's Mom!
-
Good night, all.
-
Let's move on.
-
Five!
-
Five is alive!
-
Good night!

-
DR Jeanne by any chance was the outrageously expense salon on Rodeo Drive?
-
We went to our annual HOA board meeting this evening.
-
And?
-
Good evening.
-
I am afraid I slept thru all of “must see, TV” tonight.
-
I woke up in time for the news.
-
Pollo Norteno....wasn't she engaged to Rudolf Valentino when he died?
If she were, it would have been a lousy marriage.
Yes, but it would have been spicy.
-
I went to Lacey today for the Mexican buffet at Puerto Vallarta.
-
Most of it was pretty tasty.
-
We got there at about 11::15, and we were the first thru the buffet.
-
They had beef and chicken for tacos and taco salads.
-
That means two more visits to the dentist this month.
~~~Tooth Vibes for John!!~~~
-
Cheese enchiladas, rice, and a couple of different beans; plus several dishes that I didn’t try, because I ran out of room.
-
The place never did get really busy; which is too bad because the food was very good.
-
Unfortunately, the restaurant is kind of on the back side of a small shopping center.
-
Final dress tonight - opening night tomorrow....we shall see what the audience thinks.
~~~Break Legs Vibes for Jrand and Cast!!~~~
-
You had to know where you were going or you would bypass it.

Today is my Mom's 86thbirthday
A Very Happy Birthday to Vixmom's Mom (or is she VixGran?)!! :D

I wondered how they could afford that buffet every day with so little business.
-
Perhaps it was just an unusually slow day because of the weather.
-
BK, it is a shame you can’t record the Sherman tribute.
That would be wonderful!
I would think that Disney would want a DVD for their archives.

Clearly there's a glitch this morning.
