Once again, I'm noticing that Burt Lancaster's feet look so healthy and pain-free.  :)

But I am getting steadily better

I'm pleased you are improving and thank you for the much needed laugh.  

This morning I broke my left wrist in 2 places.  Keith said he didn't think it was broken, the nurse at emergency would have bet $50 bucks it wasn't, the doctor said it wasn't.  I knew what i felt, hoping all the time i was wrong.  Thankfully the x-ray technicians did a good job or the second break might have been missed.

Just had a nice converastion with Mr. Harvey Schmidt, who's sounding better than he had been, so that's excellent.

I may have a lead on a couple of kid performers, so that's excellent.

A girl like you could get awristed.

Healing vibes DR Jane. (None of those which have been sent to DR FJL as they would be inappropriate for wrists).

2 breaks = a wristling match. (an  NZ production of Oklahoma reference)

The good news.....So far I'm not in much pain and it wasn't my right wrist.  I don't need surgery.  

I have a splint and a sling and need to keep it elevated.  I'm to keep the splint on for 5-7 days before i see the orthopedist, to allow time for any swelling before a cast goes on.  If I'm really lucky, by then i won't need a regular cast & something simpler will work.

Windy Trivia:  (for FJL and other Association fans), Ruthann Friedman, who wrote the song, was a secretary at Warner Brothers/Seven Arts (remember when they were called that?) Records and met the Association that way.  I believe it was her only foray into Top 40 wonderfulness.

Dear sage & wise TCB..... well, "2 kinds" could at least cover me and then everyone else.

Boy oh boy.... a fellow just tries to eat healthy, and the slings and innundo that he has to endure.... :o

We've added Chad Kimball to our fundraiser show, so that's excellent.  He'll be doing a song from Children of Eden.  I'm beginning to think I have to find a replacement for one of our young performers - she just doesn't return phone calls and I just get occasional e-mails which just don't communicate.

I did...and I have it here at work.  Adam Randolph played Pirelli.  Here's a picture from Capital Playhouse's website:





Thanks George.  I thought that had to be Adam.  I have worked with him many times.  The first time I played Fagin on stage, he was one of the urchins.  Last time I worked with him was 42nd STREET about three years ago.

From what I can tell, no one is.  They just don't have any pictures with him at all. :-\ I don't know why and I didn't think to ask last night.

There are several shots of Sweeney, including this one.

Another reason why Rodzinski should be back here.

Perhaps someone can forward this notice on to BJ.


Please forward to your acting acquaintances: My writer/producer friend Scott Essman, for whom I have done several makeup/film projects, is looking for a 6 to 6-foot three, tall, slim actor to get into makeup this Saturday October 20th at 11:00am in Monrovia for an appearance honoring the 75th Anniversary of Universal's "The Mummy." The actor will recreate the famous scene of Boris Karloff's Im-Ho-Tep leaving his sarcophagus to snatch the Scroll of Thoth. It will likely be a full-body makeup which will take a couple of hours.

I will be appearing as Jack Pierce, the makeup artist.

We will be appearing with Ivonna Cadaver, Elvira-like local horror show host.

If you or someone you know may be interested, please contact:

Mike, are you volunteering to do the make-up?

cilla, fjl and laura, thank you.  i have always had a fear of needing a cast cuz i don't handle confinement, or not being able to scratch, well at all.  i'm not joking when i say i might need tranquilizers to get through this.  i hope the next cast doesn't go over my elbow like this splint does.  at least i don't need pain meds cuz they make me so sick.
