Are any of the East Coasters considering going to see ADDING MACHINE - THE MUSICAL?  It is difficult to imagine a musical version of that play.  Next thing you know, someone will try a sci-fi musical!

I am going to try to see it.  This is a transfer of the production that ran in Chicago last summer, and I have some friends in it, so...  Apparently, it works very well as a musical.

We spoke to Bryan a bit ago.  He was very sleepy as they had gotten up early to get tickets to the MET tonight.  Now he is sleepy & doesn't have any tickets-guess they were sold out.  He has been having a nice time visiting people.

OH!  Did he try to wait in line all day for the $25 Rush Tickets?  I admire Peter Gelb for starting that program, but, boy, are there some "devotees" who line up for those tickets first thing in the morning - and stay there all day until the ticket distribution starts at 6:00.  However, at least they announce early on if it turns out that there will be no Rush Tickets available for a performance.

*If he does feel like heading out again, I'd suggest to him going back to The Met now, and seeing who might be selling or giving away any extra tickets to tonight's presentation. -If it's an 8:00 curtain.

Does he want to see a show?  ;)

After browsing and dreaming at Broadway Panhandler, Michael and I and Michael's friend, Sean, headed back up and over a few blocks to Stand for some burgers.  Good burgers as always, and I introduced - Enabled - Michael to the joys of their Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake.  I was good, and saved my "dessert" for some of the goodies in the Green Market - Ginger Maple Sugar Candy!  :)

Paraphrasing Jerry Herman:

He wants to learn to dance and drink and smoke a cigarette-
He's goin' as far away from Yonkers as a boy can get!

Thanks Jose, they were off to a friend's for dinner, so I guess it is too late.  If I had known sooner I might have called you for advice.

Let's hope he is back in NY soon for interviews at other schools!!!

Hello, fellow Dear Readers. I had a meeting this morning, then DS and I went to IKEA to buy a bookshelf. Isn't that exciting?

The board chair about fell off her chair when I asked if I could work the welcome table tomorrow. I will show them how to do it better.  ;)

I once stayed in a 5th floor walk-up in Soho with a bathtub in the kitchen. The neighbors had a good view! That was an "adventure" also!

SWW,

I still enjoy cooking but it gets tough when you live alone. I like to experiment with different recipes that I have. Some of my concoctions have worked and others have not.

HOwever, I do agree with many of the points that you raised.

Thanks, Jeanne.  By the way, do you know anything about T Tree oil, or T Tree sap, or T Tree Tea?  Some of the support group people mentioned it, but I didn't know what they were talking about.  Do you?

Yes, tea tree oil is said to have healing properties. It is highly regarded by many. I'm not sure why they are recommending it for the MRSA, though. To kill the bug and stop the infection? To heal the skin? Healing the skin I can understand.

I'd be happy to contact my friend the holistic pharmacist on your behalf, or give you his name and number. He's a very caring person. I've been racking my brain trying to think what might help you. I'll pass on anything I can think of.

AT Urbana Champagne?

Do you know anything about the area?  

He has to list his choices of schools in order.  Being that he is a city kind of guy, Chicago will likely be his first choice.  He has never been to the other three locations.  He will investigate on-line & maybe check out the schools mid-month when he is back in Chicago.  We think counting on easy driving in January might be risky, best to find what he can on-line.
