Overwork?  Stress?  Hope you feel better soon!

I think it's just something I ate or something.  I've gotten a lot of rest this weekend, maybe it's just all catching up with me.

I just learned that the potato chip was invented in Saratoga Springs NY when a diner complained that his potatoes were cut too thick, so the cook got even by cutting them VERY thin.

The floral delivery never arrived, so there were no flowers for the funeral. Also, the soundman needed to leave, so his apprentice, Joey, ran the soundboard for the funeral service by himself for the first time. Joey is 8. He did a great job.

And that is the news from church.

So that's why the chips served with ribs at Montgomery Inn are called Saratoga Chips!  They are especially good dipped in some barbecue sauce, or the leftover ranch dressing (which I always order on the side, just for that purpose!)

Watching the track & field Olympic trials from Eugene, OR.  There is a young man from here who trains at Ohio State.  Haven't seen him in any of the events yet.

Well, my sis and I went to see Avenue Q and it was amazing!  So entertaining and funny!  We loved it!  We both thought it was at 2:00 p.m. and was taking our time getting ready and at 12:00 p.m. when I was putting tickets in purse, noticed the tickets said it was at 1:00 p.m.!!  Oh, man, you never seen such a torpedo hit in all your born days!  I was showered but sis wasn't yet.  Clothes flying, make up applying, digging for shoes but we made it!  With 20 minutes to spare!  Whew!

It was definitely worth it!  Now it's overcast here and expecting thunderstorms, you'd think we were already in NY!

Thanks for the vibes. I'm sure I'll feel better.  I took a short nap and am drinking lots of water, it seems to be helping.  

I'm waiting to see the swimming from Omaha. There was a lot of storm damage there over the past few days, even a couple people killed. The news showed them cleaning up outside the venure where the swimming will happen.  I'm curious to see what they say about it

Well, I'm back from dinner...

I ended up heading back over to the Moonlight Diner, where I (over)indulged with a Monte Cristo Sandwich with a side of "Disco Fries" (with mozzarella cheese and gravy).  I was thinking of ordering a sundae for dessert - 1/2-price on Sunday nights - but realized I was just a bit too full to enjoy dessert, so I asked for the check.  Well...

As I was about to pay the check, a group of my cast came into the place.  I ended up sitting with them for a while... And then after my meal had had some time to digest, I went ahead and ordered my 1/2 price ice cream sundae.  :)

*And I had a real good time hanging out with them too.  Despite some of their "issues", they are really a great group of people, and they've all become fast friends over the past two weeks.

It was a story about how people are buying more boats this year, but they are just floating more than running the motor or some such nonsense. I just thought his grammar was atrocious.  


Ohhhhhhhh, now I get it.

Good Evening!

Well... The cast is as ready as they are going to be for tomorrow's presentation for the musical supervisor from the Really Useful Group (a.k.a. The Man from RUG).  More precisely, they as ready as the want to be for tomorrow's presentation.  We ran the whole show today, and a good chunk of them weren't trying their best - or just weren't trying at all in some sections.  Very frustrating.  However, after tomorrow morning, any and all changes will be determined by the Man from RUG.  -And we reminded the cast about that fact.  Time to STEP. IT. UP!!!


Jose, did you say that Cameron Mackintosh was coming in to watch a rehearsal this week, or did I dream that?

Jose - did the singer find out about the wrong-month booking mistake before she got to the airport?

Thankfully, she noticed the mistake on the itinerary that was e-mailed to her.  Of course, since the cruise line takes care of those arrangement directly, she then had to call the office here, and then the office had to call the cruise line to notify them of the mistake.  Of course, trying to take care of all those arrangements on a Saturday when the cruise line office is lightly staffed, well...

Alas, she's currently stranded in Houston due to a delayed connecting flight.  She left Los Angeles at 9:00 this morning, and probably won't be arriving in Ft. Lauderdale until sometime after midnight.  :-\

Back from an errand and a visit to the new location of the Kansas City Barbecue - had a brisket sandwich and, instead of fries, beans.  I think Ye Olde Stomach if finally shrinking because I could barely finish what normally I not only finish easily, but I normally finish a huge portion of fries, and I've been known to have a side of sausage, too.  Not today, Charlie.  

Beans, huh?  You will probably get rid of a few more calories before the evening is done.

Jose, did you say that Cameron Mackintosh was coming in to watch a rehearsal this week, or did I dream that?

"Andrew" is coming from RUG - RUG being Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber's company.  However, Andrew is not Lord Andrew.  This company also presents a cruise ship version of "Hey, Mr. Producer" - which is a tribute to the musicals that Sir Cameron Mackintosh has produced.  -Which also includes some music from some of Lord Lloyd Webber's musicals.

Capisce?

DR ArnoldMBrockman - I'm staying off of Cypress Creek - right near the Tri-Rail station.

Also, DR Michael S has expressed an interest in getting together for dinner.   How about a trio on Thursday night?
