Haines His Way

DR. NOEL

What is the running time of your show?

I can only guess, because there's never been a run-through of the current draft (which is rather lean).  Way back before I started cutting songs like crazy, a read-through of Such Good Friends with unrehearsed actors took substantially less than two hours.  But, with our pros under the direction of a guy who believes in speed, the 109 pages should fly by.  Fast-talking types, like you get in The Front Page/His Girl Friday.  Figure less than a minute per page.

JFK is only the third closest airport to Manhattan.  A cab on a Saturday afternoon might take as long as an hour.

Thank You

Where else can you find condolences, sexual innuendoes, messages of hope for a lost cat, and snarks about various/sundry all on the same page on the same day?

Now I ask you....

I am so looking forward to my upcoming four-day weekend.

I'm toying with making it five days, but that could be tight with a deadline or two that I'd have to meet tomorrow other than Tuesday...and that's totally dependent upon other people meeting their deadlines (which passed at noon today).

FJL:
Jane - It was the bone from a chicken wing.

I'm pleased he seems ok.  Did the vet say how long before you don't need to watch for symptoms?  Chances are he digested the bone just fine, & good vibes he did.

JMK, I expect Blanche survived her bout with chocolate.

Such naughty dogs

My mother has been in the hospital for the last week or so (this time around anyway), and i was there at 4 this morning because she finally passed.   Painlessly, I think.  I tell you all this because you are one of the most genuinely caring groups i know.   My mother had many holes in her lungs (which restricted her quite a bit-although she still managed to get to the grocery store and what not).  She passed away more or less how she wanted: her body, mind and money all gave out more or less at the same time (unlike many in the family).  

Thank you all for just being there.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Kerry, but, as you point out, it sounds like it happened in the best possible way.

I hope you will visit HHW over the coming weeks and months and can gain strength--and, hopefully, a bit of relief-- from all our silliness.

My best to you.
Hugs.

You, sir, are cribbing from DR Noel!

Guilty as charged, sir.  But it's for a good cause!

Cute.  

Sherlock likes to munch on apples.  Keith always saves some of his apple & slowly rotates the core while the boy gentle nibbles on the apple.

My Dickens used to LOVE popcorn.

Is your conscience guilty?  We have ways of alleviating that condition.

Funny you should mention that, since Minx LOVED to eat popcorn with me; Dixie Bell could care less about popcorn!  (Of course, one of Dixie's daily treats is a salt-free rice cake).

Where is the YouTube clip?  

Dixie Bell is in her Garbo phase right now, you know she's gonna be three in October, so anytime a camera is around, Dixie is out her dog door!

Boy, page 9 is flying by like a gazelle in a handbasket!
