Page 2 Dance!!!


Choco cake dance

[DakotaCelt]

Love Nutella on English Muffins or toast....

[Tomovoz]

A packet of Tim Tams is within my line of my vision at the moment.  They are chocolate coated biscuits.  (Cookies to North America).

[DakotaCelt]

They are good!

[DakotaCelt]

A local delicacy...

Widman's candy makes a fantastic treat!

Chocolate Chippers... (THey come in White, milk and/or dark chocolate)



I gaurantee you cannot eat just one!





However in ND we also have some choco covered Sunflower seeds but right now the name of the place that makes them escapes me right now..

DR DearReaderLaura:

Wonderful pictures of the knobs and knockers ceilings and doors from Las Vegas - where else on the internet could you get that kind of stuff?  Thanks for sharing!!

[singdaw]

DR Cillaliz -

CONGRATULATIONS on winning your dream - weatherperson for a day!!  I hope we'll be allowed to view a clip of the results!

[Cillaliz]

Well I'm up. I got up, snuck down the stairs to take my shower and when I got back upstairs my parents were up, dressed, making their beds and anxious to get on the road. No time for breakfast, they are almost there.  
So they are on the road and I have a little time before work.

They both said they slept well (about 9 hours)  and I'm really glad they stopped.  It's a very easy drive from here to their house. Mom said she just couldn't wait to get home and sit in her recliner until she's feeling better

[Cillaliz]

DR Laura - you are kidding about the mental eval, right?  I was looking for an "April Fools" but didn't see it.

[Cillaliz]

DR TCB - The guy who called me about the prize is sort of a friend of mine, but this wasn't a joke. He's one of the organizers of Rivercade, the festival that held the fundraising auction.  The deadline to get back to them was last Wednesday, so it doesn't surprise me that they decided to give the person a week before moving to the next on the list.  

[Cillaliz]

I will get details about the weather thing in the mail then I contact the station to set up the time and date.  The fun thing is that my friends and family at the lake get this station so they can all set their vcrs.   I know i get a copy, not sure if it's be online.

Here's the tv station's website  www.ktiv.com

WOD:

DR JoseSPiano will be in the NY Metro conurbation later this week.

[Cillaliz]

Well I better get ready and get to work.   Laters

[JoseSPiano]

Good Morning!

Well... I shall have to query and follow up on things when I return tonight.  -Whenever that turns out to be.  Alas, I'm back at the Equity building today with Gypsy, and there's no wireless there, so, I shall be internet-deprived during the daytime today.  And after those auditions, it looks like I'm heading around the corner to attend the gypsy run-thru of Legally Blonde.  I think.  I also got invited to a press night of a friend's show too.  However, I'm thinking the best thing for me to do would be to head back here tonight, and get some laundry and cleaning and sorting of mail done.  We shall see.  Until tonight...

Laters...

I didn't report about yesterday. We also had a wonderful time. The fried chicken was great. I haven't had FC (not Foundation Center) for a long time and this was delish! The Red Velvet Cake was not only delish but beautiful. VixMom, Skip has a picture of the cake, perhaps he can send it to you.

We returned home, I took a nap and then rode the stationary bike for 90 minutes in preparation for our trip to Florida in May. No, we are not biking down, but if I'm going to Floriday in the middle of may and wearing shorts and a bathing suit, I will make sure my midriff is not the main thing you see when you look at me. We have been very good for the last month and a half. We eat much more healthily (is that word???) I ride every day and Ant does his workout. Though it doesn't look like I need to, I have lost almost 15 pound (from 135 to almost 120). I'm back to my college weight from some 30 years ago. Now, I also have to see how much (if any) my cholesterol has gone down. That's part of it also. I need to get that C word down to a managable level. I will have a physical soon and see how well exercise and diet are working to clean out my bloodstream.

[Ben]

Oh, yes! Congrats to Cill on the television debut. First New York and your Broadway stage debut and now television. Soon you'll have a spot on Court TV and you can displace Miss Nancy Grace.

[Tomovoz]

Good morning Ben.  Goodnight from OZ.

Before I leave, here is the link to Mr. Nondorf's Playbill On-Line Column (some of you may know him better as Rodzinski).

Good Morning and Good Night to Tom (of Oz, not Mr. Nondorf)

TOD:

I much prefer anything dark chocolate to milk or white chocolate.

My problem is will power: I have none.  Once I start eating chocolate, I can't stop.  So I almost never allow myself to have any.  

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all!  Another night of lousy sleep, and I think it's the meds.  Oy!

So, today I work at home on a report about critical editions, do some laundry, run a few errands, tidy up the dump, and pack for what I hope will be my last trek to Ohio for some time.

DR Rodzinski, nice interview.  I saw Mr Crofoot two or three times in BARNUM, Mr Holgate in the original cast of 1776 (as well as in LEND ME A TENOR and the KISS ME, KATE revival), and I worked with Andre in 2004 for the Chicago Humanities Festival).  He's a wonderful gentleman, and I'm quite fond of him.  Our DR WFO went to school with Andre, and I saw him several times in the original AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' and once in a dreadful version of JUST SO.  I believe John Simon's review said "Just So is Just Awful."  Andre wore some feathered headdress and looked like Eartha Kitt, and Jason Graae was also in it.  JUST SO stank.

TOD:
   Mathilde Pincus, the doyenne of music copyists was the lady who perfected the technique of contemporary Broadway music copying in New York in the early 1950s.  She was also a wonderful earth mother to all the writers she worked with: Jonathan Tunick, Steve Sondheim, John Kander, etc.  Everyone loved her, and with the excetion of one short, fat egocentric "conductor" of dubious ability, she loved everyone she worked for.  Whenever I went to Mathilde's, I always stopped in the corner drugstore and brought her a bag of Hershey Kisses, since a large jar of them sat on her desk.  She once tld me that her writers would send her expensive chocolates but she preferred Hershey Kisses.  

I loves me my Godivas, but whenever I have a piece of a Hershey bar or a kiss, I remember Mathilde and what a great lady she was.

The Two Minute Haggadah: A Passover service for the impatient,
here.

[Dan (the Man)]

DR Laura, I love your new photographic direction!  Though I also enjoyed the continuation of your ceiling phase, I think Door Knobs of Vegas definitely has the makings of a coffee table book.

[FJL]

DR Laura, thanks for posting the Veags photos.  Reminded me that I've got to get back there - it's been too long.

[FJL]

Spoo, did I misspell Veags earlier?

[FJL]

Did vixmom really want a picture of the red velvet cake?  (The pre-cutting photo won't show any of the "red velvet."    )

The photo of the fried chicken, however, is scrumptious, IMHO.  Brings back fond memories of, well, yesterday.

It's Passover tonight, and the charoses represents the mortar used for the pyramids, or soemthing like that.
