Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no screaming and won no awards, and now it is time for you to post until the screaming cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: AMALGAMATE!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
First post after BK.
-
Great photos in the notes, BK.
-
I will say Nighty-night, my friends.
-
Good night, jan.
-
I loved the video, BK...both the performance and the song.

T.O.D.
Number one, all-time greatest Tony moment; Brent Barrett and Michael Jeter In “Will Take a Glass Together” from GRAND HOTEL.

Ditto! I LOVE that clip, too!
-
One recent-ish Tony performance that I love is "You're In the Band (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtEQDOwRBf4)" from School of Rock!
I saw the national tour just last month and I loved the show!
-
I've never seen the show (and it never had a commercially released cast recording :( ), but I love the Tony number from Shuffle Along, or The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921 and All That Followed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMUgUc8vqAA).
-
And now, I'm off to bed.
Good night, BK, and have a good day, all!
-
Good morning
-
Sorry I wasn't here yesterday
-
After work I went to Home Depot to price up a replacement garage door opener and installation for my mom
-
While there I purchased a brand new handy dandy branch pruner
-
Then I came home and pruned the maple tree next to my driveway
-
A bunch of if lower branches had started obscuring the view to the road making exiting the driveway much more dangerous and exciting than was absolutely necessary
-
Then I decided to attack some vines that have been overtaking the cyclone fence that runs across the front of our house
-
These vines give me the hee bee jeebees
-
It's almost like they have a consciousness, the way they reach out and grab things then wind around like a snake choking a victim
-
I ended up pruning and piling up the resultant branches and vines until it was dusk
-
Vuxdad came home before I was finished by the had to head right in and log in to work to complete a job
-
Around 8:3o we were both done and decided to head up to Lowes for a second estimate on garage door openers
-
That came to nothing as we were to,d the people who handle that only work until 5
-
So anyone with a normal 9-5 job is out of luck until the weekend
-
We have been eating our salads and watching our calories (for all the good it has done) but decided to eat dinner at the RedRobin next to Lowes as we were both starving
-
By time we got home it was 10:30
-
I changed into my pjs and sat down in the recliner to check my email, and here
-
And then it was this morning
-
And that brings you up to speed and to page 2
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept really really really badly, as Thatch would say. He likes to enforce his words.
-
Today I have a meeting at Music Theatre International at 1:00 to introduce my friend Susanna Moross Tarjan to folks there. I think that should be fun.
-
This morning I must pay a few bills after I take care of the litter, wash the food dishes, patrol with Annabelle, and tidy up the apartment.
-
Good morning !
-
Nice photos, BK!

I am pleased to announce the publication of the 23rd play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection: GARY COOPER AT HIGH NOON.
The one-person play finds Gary Cooper at a critical point in his life, as he makes his "signature film". Not only is his marriage falling apart, due to his long-term relationship with actress Patricia Neal, but his film career is in a doldrums, and to top things off, he must decide if he is going to stand behind his friend, writer Carol Foreman, who is about to be blacklisted. No wonder he has a painful ulcer.
The play is available in paperback and Kindle editions vial Amazon and elsewhere. Performance rights are available.

T.O.D.
Bringing back stars from shows long ago to do a musical number (e.g. Alfred Drake/KISS ME KATE)
-
Barbara Harris as Passionella, "Mama, Look Sharp," Jerry Orbach's "She Likes Basketball."
-
Good morning, all.

Re night's audience behavior:
I've been at a couple of shows where there was just ONE person nearby whose constant response to anything and everything was the loud hoot, and who was completely unaware/insensitive to the furious looks from their neighbors. This should be deserving of some jail time.
-
DR Elmore, I'm not sure if I responded to your Stella-in-the-Fridge story, but that one should probably take first prize in...well, something! :)
-
Dumbass wannabe dictator Trump is in a press conference with crash and burn Teresa May. Ugh.
-
Best photo ever!
-
Great photos and video in the notes!
Congrats to the winners....I won't yell.....
-
No garage door openers after 5 p.m.
I wonder if it's by law?
-
Did a little shopping this morning.
Yesterday I had just gotten in the car to leave for rehearsal when my phone rang....it was my brother.....stuck at the gasoline station with a dead battery..... I stopped on my way and let him use my car for a jump.
Today I was getting out of my car at Dollar Tree and my same brother called and asked to use my car to go buy a new battery....I said....I will be home in about 45 minutes.....shopping.....
So that all worked out. He got his battery at WalMart. I told him to go to CAR X....my last WalMart battery was a 12 month batter and was a loser.....
-
He said he was taking his three year battery back because it was only two years old and that there was no such thing as a one year battery.
When he came home he told me his old battery WAS a one year battery....but this time he got a Three year battery....
-
The End.
-
One year, three year. Time is fluid for batteries that still work.
-
Three!
-
I'm up, I'm up - just about seven hours of sleep.

Well, this is interesting...NY could become first state to ban cat declawing (http://www.startribune.com/ny-could-become-first-state-to-ban-cat-declawing/510800392/). I agree with it, but according to the article, "The New York State Veterinary Medical Society has opposed the bill." :-\

A few years ago, I went to a local concert of three adult siblings performing mostly original folk/ballad-type songs with just guitar accompaniment. It was a lovely but rather sedate concert...not something where one would hoot and holler. However, there was one woman who hooted loudly after just about every song! It was quite inappropriate. She eventually did stop, but it took a long time for her to get the idea. It turns out that the hooting woman was the performers' mother! :o

Best photo ever!

Tuesday afternoon greetings! I went to take pictures at the AAUW garage sale venue and then to a 10am DAR planning meeting at the public library. Lunch on the way home with friends Libby and Tina. Today was my first solo excursion in my new car.
-

I think he looks like Peter Boyle performing “Puttin’ on the Ritz” in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.

Well. it's been a good day. Susanna arrived at my apartment around 10:30 and we made our MTI plans. She met Annabelle, Thatch, and Stella. Thatch hid but Stella and Annabelle performed their love love me do vaudeville act for the whole visit. They climbed all over Susanna and me, our work, every table top within reach.
-
Then we made our trek to Music Theatre International for a nice meeting with Jody Edwards and Terry Lee. After lunch, we caught the bus back uptown.
-
Beautiful day here, and I should be outside working on stuff that needs to be worked on.
Oh well. I'm getting some indoors work done. And tomorrow is another day. Or so I've been told.
-
DR Elmore, I daresay we should be attempting a modeling session for Stella sometime in the near future. :)
-
Okay, here's my stupid Facebook question for the day.
When you're in a group such as, say, Theatre Music Directors or Cast Recordings or whatnot, and you have notifications that people have posted in one of those, and you click on that notification which puts you on that specific page...
How in the HELL do you adjust your settings so that the newest responses show up? I'm pretty sure I have these set so that newest stuff is always on top...though I can't swear to it, and if I did, it seems FB and I have different definitions of what that means. But that's certainly what I've gone for. But unless the notification is that someone has replied specifically to a post of mine, or "reacted" to one of mine, there's just no telling where the new stuff is. Sometimes I'll do a manual search through the responses and eventually find that the new replies are to older posts, so that they're effectively buried, and there's no help from FB in finding them.
Not to mention, the threads only open up to a recent point -- and in some cases, they eventually just start opening up to the same damned place every time, regardless of how many days back that location is. It's madness.
-

Yes! I'm finally free to begin pulling books.
-
We are in San Francisco waiting to board our flight home.
-
I do not know how Facebook works......I would like for it to stop opening a photo in a new page when all I want to do is "like" it....among other things.
-
I have to go to rehearsal in a bit, so i am hoping someone here on HHW will watch Jeopardy and see if Emma the woman that James let win the match yesterday lasts longer than ONE day.....
-

Oh that's fine, I don't expect anyone to have any real answer to my rant. Sometimes you just have to rant anyway. :)
-
I don't know how to deal with those FB questions, Jrand and ChasSmith. I think that Internet Explorer and Chrome act differently to what might otherwise be the same action. :-\

Had a nice visit with Sami - we had some homemade pasta bolognese (her dad is a great cook) - only about three ounces of it. Then I went to the auction house, Julie arrived, everything was brought in, and I took my leave.
-
Travel vibes for Jane.

I hate to ask, but how old is Sami now?
-
I have a numb face from having a tooth filled.
I have a numb brain from being in San Antonio traffic after a thunderstorm.
-
I have been listening to Jose Andres read his book, We Fed an Island, about the aftermath of Hurricane Maria and Puerto Rico. Not good for the blood pressure.
-
Stella usually comes to me to fight and bite my hands and feet, but twice today she's sought me out to be petted and cuddled while she purrs like a mad thing.

Sami is nineteen!

First fifteen minutes of the Adriana book have arrived and I'll listen momentarily. Earlier today I sent her me reading some Bronstein - can't wait to hear what she's done with that.
-
Travel vibes for Jane.
Thanks. We are home, eaten, gone to the market, and had a short walk. Somehow we are still managing to stay away.

Awww :)

I will try to post later but somehow doubt I will be up to it.
-
Time for me to leave. My sister needs me to come over for a while, so I'll go there first, then home.
Be back later.

Andrew Davies has decided that Jean Valjean and Cosette are just too nice. When an inquiring old landlady tries to butt into their business, the child Cosette calls her a "nosy old bitch." And Valjean smiles.
-
Someone on Facebook posted a still from some car commercial I did for Isuzu. I have absolutely no memory of shooting this - must be later in the 1980s - not sure when they introduced the Joe Isuzu character played by David Leisure. This is kind of cute and scary at the same time. I do remember doing a Toyota and Nissan Stanza commercial, but not this thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJtUgB_eA7s

Seriously?

What is happening this week?
-
Has everyone gone on vacation?
-
They're out partying and didn't invite us!
-
Thank goodness, Jane and Keith have returned safely from their anniversary trip.
Welcome home!
-
Time is running out for today.
-
I wanna go on a trip but I don't where to go.
-
And my time connected to the internet is also running out.
-
I'm sure some of you can (and will) tell me where to go.
-
Hi, George.
-
Hi, jan.
-
Okay, let’s get crackin’.
-
Hi, Tom.

Hi, jan.

Hi, Tom, how's the move going?

Time to get some posts up before the day is over.

Gratuitous post #121!

Hi, George, how's Tumwater?
-
Hi, Tom, how's the move going?
My friend, Diane, is probably not going to be able to help on Thursday. Her shoulder is getting worse.
-
Do you need help?
-
Interesting!
-
Hi, George, how's Tumwater?
It was a very nice day, today.
-
We had great weather up here.
-
It's still kind of warm, even at this hour.
-
No, I have got two of the old actors coming over on Friday.
-
And, of course, I still have all next week to finish things off.
-
I am just having a nervous breakdown.
-
Have all your deliveries arrived and in place?
-
The delivery of the other half of the sectional is supposedly scheduled for Saturday, but I think tomorrow I will call and cancel the order and have them come pick up the half without the legs.
-
I am just having a nervous breakdown.
Breathe, Tom...just breathe. :)
-

No! I am going to hold my breath until I turn blue.
-
I don't think blue would be very flattering, you'd look like a big smurf.
-
We haven’t heard how jan is feeling today.
-
Maybe plum or mauve.
-
I don't think blue would be very flattering, you'd look like a big smurf.
Or that snotty little girl in WILLY WONKA.
-
Physically Jan is doing okay. Intellectually Jan is bored.
-
All my traveling companions have moved to other states.
-
Physically Jan is doing okay. Intellectually Jan is bored.
Why?
-
I want to go somewhere and see something new. I been stuck here at home for a coupla years and I want a change of scenery.
-
Then why don’t you?
-
Again, my traveling companions have moved. One is retired like me but doesn't have much money and will not take money for a trip from me. The other couple just moved to a new house in Utah. they're still settling in and paying off moving expenses. So I have no one to go with and don't know where to go.
-
George, any comments?
-
Why not take one of those guided tours. You get to know all the other people on the tour. They even have them for single adults.
-
Or take a cruise!
-
Strangers! yech! I did a cruise with my Utah friends, just a four day to mexico and back. I liked it but not alone. I know I'm a pain. Sorry.

No, you are not a pain. Just throwing out a couple ideas.
