Extreme birthday wishes to Dear Reader Laura!!!

Have a safe and happy vacation, DR Michael Shayne.

I had just the opposite reaction. I liked THE BOURNE IDENTITY quite a lot and tolerated THE BOURNE SUPREMACY. I believe they're actually doing another one, too.

I didn't get a call yesterday and so far nothing today, so I have to assume that I was not cast in AMADEUS. Ah, well, that just leaves more time for movie and TV viewing.

Fire engines have been screaming up and down the main street in front of my house all morning. There have been at least four instances of them driving by since about 9 a.m. Amazing!

And now an ambulance went racing by the front door! What's going on?

Having lunch today with best friend John so I need to get up from here and get cleaned up.

Super birthday greetings to DearReaderLaura!!! Have a wonderful day!

Thursday morning greetings! Today's my day off and I did, indeed, sleep in - until after 9am!

In a while DH Richard and I have to go retrieve my Vibe, which spent the night in the car hospital for some routine maintenance this morning. Then I'm taking my mother and aunt on some errands, fixing dinner for R and myself, and going to my book group this evening.

Happiest of birthdays to DR DearReaderLaura! Will you have cake?

Good morning Esteemed, velvet-voiced, suave, and ruddy BK --

Thanks for the correction about the date for The Brain opening.

MusicGuy · « **Reply #42 on:** September 21, 2006, 08:33:25 AM »

and of course a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a big hug to DR Laura........

I'll call you a little later, and see if you'd like a birthday lunch today!

for the TOD :

I would have had Hitler run over by a car as a small boy.....and no other replacement idiot/monster/dictator would come along to take his place.

Not only would it drastically change the course of so many lives in Europe, it would also alter the chain of events that led to the pacific involvement.

I used to play the Titanic Computer game. If you win the game you uncover secrets that prevent WWII from happening and at the end it says that Hitler never gained power and was only known as a second rate artist.

TOD: it's so difficult to answer this. I know there are obvious things and people I would like to see change, but what effect that would have on everything that happened later is what I would be concerned about

TOD - i would not have sold MSFT when it hit $100, that first time... I would have gone ahead and bought 500 shares of that initial offering of Starbucks; and I would have harnessed my greed and sold GBUR after it went up to $9+, instead of waiting for it to crash and burn...

I don't think my parents would have met, and i probably would not be here, had anything happened to Hitler, or Napoleon, or Alexander, or any other brutal megalomaniac slaughterers who periodically infect the race... I would have changed the sequence of inept, ignorant, arrogant mistakes that led to the WTC disaster... I certainly would. I think regret only serves if it instructs...

I have decided, upon reflection, to go through this day uncontented.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #48 on:** September 21, 2006, 09:04:48 AM »

Or should that be discontented?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #49 on:** September 21, 2006, 09:05:07 AM »

Or malcontented?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #50 on:** September 21, 2006, 09:05:21 AM »

Or maybe I'll settle for being contentious.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #51 on:** September 21, 2006, 09:06:16 AM »

But I won't touch "hermaphrodite".

If Herm could be indicted for his afro, can any of us be safe from litigation?

I'm sitting here waiting for my lunch date to arrive.

And I, for one, hope you don't forget the proper sequencing of these events!

I'm up, I'm up.

Edisaurus, if you want to see the development of shows in all its insane glory, we've written about the process on several occasions in great detail and its all there in the notes of old, which you can access by clicking on column archives. This past January's notes (and a bit of December's) you'll read all about my play Deceit. The prior year, around July and August, you'll read all about the development and production of the musical revue, What If. I've also talked at length about writing the various novels (this site debuted in November of 2001, just as I finished the first, Benjamin Kritzer). I love writing about the process of creation, and I haven't been shy about it here, and that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly.

bk · « **Reply #59 on:** September 21, 2006, 09:42:20 AM »

And I'm sure we'll be getting more of the same once The Brain begins - but I also wrote about that this past May when we first put it on its feet in a staged reading.
