I'm Sitting In The Pit Of A Chorus Line - that's the title of my next novel.

So it is written, so it shall be done - page three.

TOD:

May, 1967 -- I had an emergency appendectomy.
May, 1971 -- I became an uncle for the first time.
May, 1984 -- I moved into my first solely rented apartment (no roommate!)

Hmmm...I haven't had an exciting May in a while...

Otherwise, BTW, the Dophin was no great shakes as a hotel. Beautiful hotel to look at, and great views and location, but a disappointing experience as a hotel stay, IMHO.

Welcome sixteen GUESTS. Who are you people and why don't you get off your complacent butt cheeks and say hello? Are you afraid we'll bite?

I now know that the sprinklers go on at 6:02

Well... I need to head to midtown, so....

Laters...

Shouldn't we all be singing The Internationale today?

Strangely enough, I happen to have a version of it on my iPod, courtesy of the REDS soundtrack.

The Sprinklers Go On At 6:02 - that's the title of my next novel. Or a Norman Krasna play.

I could have told you that, DR FJL. Next time, ask me!

I'm very tired. I wonder why, what with a whole three hours of sleep and all.

bk · « **Reply #71 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:05:09 AM »

I'll probably fall asleep during my jog.

bk · « **Reply #72 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:05:33 AM »

I wonder how it would be to jog at six in the morning?

bk · « **Reply #73 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:05:48 AM »

I don't know that I care to find out, but you never know.

Will we never get to page four?

Stats: April was our second highest month for posts and hits.

Why are people sitting there like so much fish?

Wow! What a jump from 11 to 75. I go away to my oatmeal bowl wash and look what happens.

So who was the winner of Mr. Broadway?

Apparently, Frankie James Grande [Mamma Mia]. No, I didn't go; just read about it.

And...re: Paul McGill. You were gushing about him in a post not too long ago, so I thought you'd remember.

Just sitting? Or playing, also?

We're all plumb tuckered out from our madrigal singing and May Pole dancing.

It's now light out. I guess I'll go try to get some more sleep.

Singdaw, I didn't "perform" at my father's funeral although I did deliver the eulogy and I included part of the last speech from "I Never Sang for My Father" (death ends a life but it does not end a relationship which struggles on in the survivor's mind toward some resolution he may never find). I had just "retired" from the business and I considered it in some ways a performance. It's difficult but very fulfilling in a way.

When one of my best friends died in 1988 (the first person I actually knew who died from AIDS) many people performed at his memorial, me included. That, actually, was more difficult than giving my father's eulogy. I did a monologue from a play he had written for me and I got through it but just barely. His memorial was at the old Equity Library Theatre (long closed) on 103rd Street and Riverside Drive.

Jose - Too bad we didn't know you back then. I really feel my travel experiences have been better since I've been here on HHW to ask questions in advance.

If we hadn't stayed at the Dolphin in 2000, I wouldn't have had that memorable sunrise on Epcot experience. But service-wise, for Dolphin Hotel prices, it was a frustrating trip. We've had much better times at the Contemporary and the Polynesian.

I have an in-house presentation in a week so I will be busy today revising said presentation.

We finished watching Slings and Arrows last night. We had a three night marathon watching two episodes Saturday, two Sunday and the final two last night. It was a good way to end the series. I do appreciate the British and Canadian sensibility that you don't have to run a series into the ground. 3 seasons of 6 episodes each is fine. You don't necessarily need 15 or 18 episodes over 10 or 11 years. The well dries up (IMHO)

Ben · « **Reply #86 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:20:45 AM »

I'm also doing my part to move us to Page 4. Just a few more to go.

Ben · « **Reply #87 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:21:26 AM »

I will see Journey's End sometime this week. Anthony has dance class tonight and he's busy Thursday. The show is always on TDF for every performance so I will see it soon.

Ben · « **Reply #88 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:21:48 AM »

Monlogue anyone?

Ben · « **Reply #89 on:** May 01, 2007, 06:22:01 AM »
