Well, I stripped all the wax off half the kitchen floor and will re-wax it tomorrow. I feel like MattH. (Except I only do this once a year at the most!)

DR Jane - I'm not going to Alaska.  And I had already sort of decided that before this Mary Poppins gig fell in my lap.  Timing-wise, it was just too long a slot - two weeks - to be out of town - and not available for work.  And paying for the trip would have also put a slight strain on my bank account for September.  However, since I seem to be in the midst of a very "profitable" period right now, I'm seriously considering either taking another cruise sometime in October, and/or heading down to Disneyworld for a couple of days.  I haven't been to the Magic Kingdom in a couple of years, and since I can now get into the parks for free, well... :)  We shall see...


Oh my  we haven't been there in a few years... we have a time share in Kississimme  (that is so totally spelled wrong) but we haven't been.....


now I want a piece of  monkey cake on my way to Disney

You know, I was sort of told to take some time off...  ;)

And since the Epcot Food & Wine Festival happens to happen in October...

Must go rest my arms after scrubbing the floor on my hands and knees. Once it's waxed I can start piling boxes of books in there and make room to do more packing.

There used to be this great photo of Scott Bakula back in his modeling days.  He is wearing nothing but a pair of briefs.  I'll bet M Barnum has that photo.

And we've already discussed the two interviews - and accompanying photographs - he did with Playgirl on this here site.

I forgot about that.  And I first heard of him from the recording of 3 Guys Naked from the Waist Down (sadly, no one is actually naked in the show ::)).  I still have the vinyl album.


And I've actually done that show!  And had a wonderful time doing it too.  -And we had even approached Michael Rupert about writing another segment for the sort of History of Popular Music sequence.  We were gonna have each of the guys come out dressed as Michael Jackson at various stages of his career and "coloring".  ;)

*And we did have a very brief bit of nudity in our production - but it was handled the same way the nudity was handled in The Full Monty.  Although, since the band (myself included) was on stage, I was never blinded by the backlight.  Just sayin'... ::)

Bad news today on the lightening damage report: $1200 in repairs needed.

Could you bill that to the Pastor who's leaving?

He already graciously took me around this past week.  :)  
But today, Jose was making it sound like he is pretty busy this next week...

Well, we still haven't been to the Reservoir.  ;)

Seriously, I think a jaunt through Central Park - with a walk around the Reservoir - should definitely be on your "To Do" list.

Plus, we could start off at Levain, and pick up some "nourishment" for the walk, and then end at Grom to cool down with some gelato.

Well, you could do what I did and get down to Battery Park and walk from there all the way up to where DR Elmore lives...you will see a LOT during that days walk!

Oh, and have lunch at the diner across the street from Macey's...it just seems so NY-ish.

Well, I don't know about a diner across the street from Macey's, but there is one across the street from Macy's.  ;)

Although, there are a couple of diners in that area, however, I think you're thinking of the one attached to the Hotel New Yorker.

DR Elmore told me where to go once...but I didn't know how to get there.

You don't need to know how to get there.  You just end up there.

Well... I got an e-mail today, and it looks like I will have a bit more free time next week than I thought.  Right now, the only things on my plate are the three days of Alladin auditions, Tuesday-Thursday.  So... Monday is open...  As are my evenings.  *And I'm still trying to decide whether or not to have some sort of gathering next Sunday. ;)

After working at Q for several months now, I can really appreciate how brilliant the puppetry work was on the Muppet Show... Some of this stuff requires 2 or 3 operators PER CHARACTER!

Do they still have the restaurant in the bottom of Macys... where you have to take the wooden escalator to get down?



I love eating in The Cellar.  And when Steve comes up to NYC, besides eating at least one meal at Becco, we also sup at Macy's.  They have a great "Meal for Two" deal that includes a soup or salad, entree (chicken, steak, shrimp), even dessert.  And, I have to say, the steak there is pretty damn good!

There's also the cafeteria-style La Cucina with various stations with various types of food.  *And, again, the Mac & Cheese is highly recommended.

What can I say?  Today provided us with plenty o' material.  

Also, I think I heard a big cacophony on the 2nd keyboard during "What I Did For Love" when Jose finally got his nap in...
(In all seriousness, Jose - and the rest of the orchestra - were pretty phenomenal this evening...God, what I'd give to have them playing for me...)

Well... As long as you didn't notice anything funny during the Intro to "At The Ballet"...   :-X

However, he is currently finishing his degree at American University in Washington, DC.  He's just taking one class each semester, and that class only meets one day a week.  And he takes the Chinatown bus back and forth.

Shonghai.

OK... Well...

I was pretty darn tired when I left the theatre earlier tonight, and I was even more darn tired after my subway ride back uptown.

And after this flurry of a-reading and a-posting and a-laughing...

Goodnight.
