I've written about two pages - that may be it for today, unless I slog through one more - but I also smoothed out yesterday's writing, and made a fun addition to an earlier chapter.  One of my characters is, as she puts it, a child of the late 60s/early 70s and she's constantly playing music from that era at ear-splitting levels.

BTW - did Ann and Jed get moved into their new house?  ???


Gee, I hope they did, because they moved out of here about a month ago.

I don't think anyone in our family played mah jong, but I do have a memory of watching the game, and it may have been a neighbor's family or the mother of the best friend in Kritzerland.

I think that Mah Jong was a little too advanced for the Norwegian side of my family.  I think cribbage was about it for us......... Or was that us for it?

We had a small flock (about a dozen) Rainbow Lorikeets arrive at the bird feeder this morning. They're not frequent visitors but a very welcome sight.

Since I can't really have the sound turned up during rehearsal, I shall have to "enjoy" the "Rose's Turn" clip at a later time.

I can just imagine Jerome Robbins:

"Ethel, I got a great idea.  Let's bring everybody on during Rose's Turn and let 'em walk around.  Okay?"

Ethel's response cannot be written here.

Well, it was probably more of a gesture anyway.

Yesterday's mail:  "Eddie Hodges" best of CD. Big surprise - he sings an early Randy Newman song. (She Doesn't Love Me). It may even be earlier than his "Somebody's Waiting" recorded by Gene McDaniels.

What is with Rachael Ray's hair. It looks like it's dyed way too dark. Ok, maybe it's just me, but I liked it better when it was a little lighter

She seems to have recently adapted, "Yes, I am wearing make up look," instead of that "all natural girl next door look" she used to have.  Just way too much eye shadow for my taste - she almost looks goth.

Death metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal that evolved out of thrash metal during the early 1980s.

I am suddenly feeling very old…



What's metal?


Feeling younger, DR singdaw?

Get out your credit cards...the Sony/BMG re-masters of the OBCs of Woods, Merrily, Sunday, and Sweeney are all still scheduled for next week, 3/20.

I'm actually wondering if I'm going to buy these reissues.  Well, I do know I'm not going to rush out to get them.  The only one that interests me is Into the Woods since it includes a recording of Maureen Moore performing, "Boom Crunch".  All the other extra and bonus tracks on the other recordings seem to come from that Carnegie Hall tribute concert - which I have on CD and DVD, so...  We'll see...

DR Ginny – It was always my impression that most reference librarians had advanced degrees in another field, and then went back to get an MS in Library Science.  Do you know if that is generally true?  If so, it’s a crime that they’re not paid more.

When I was in school, the library didn’t have the funds to convert or cross-index their collection, so half the stacks/card catalogues were in Dewey, and half in LoC.  A sorry state of affairs.  Perhaps this has since been rectified.  Or perhaps everything is digitized now.


I thought Truman defeated Dewey?

As a director, I like to have authentic and working props.

As an actor, I never met a prop I didn't drop.

Ooohh...

One of the cast members is Frank Vlastnik.  He collaborated with Ken Bloom on "Broadway Musicals: The 101 Greatest Shows of All Time".  He's working on a "sister" book due out this fall.  Instead of musicals, it will cover the 101 Greatest Sitcoms of All Time.  I suspect a couple of DRs might be interested in that upcoming publication.

I wonder if anyone at Universal ever suggested that Ma & Pa Kettle meet the monsters?  It worked for Abbott and Costello.

The least they could have done is have Ma & Pa Kettle meet Francis the Talking Mule....
