Good morning!

Hot and getting hotter. A/C did come on yesterday, and it worked to my great relief. I only had a five year warranty on the central A/C unit, and this is the sixth year of its operation, so I was expecting the worst when I fired it up yesterday afternoon. Thankfully, it worked just fine.

There are some really tight races in the Tony ceremony this year, so this year's show should be great just for that. The musical numbers will be a bonus.

I have to say that our daily newspaper theater critic is pretty lame here. We've got the Molly Ringwald/SWEET CHARITY national tour here this week, and in her review of the show, the critic lamented the fact that the show did not have a happy ending. The fact that Charity doesn't "get her Man" was a total surprise to this critic (who's not a youngster, by the way).

Can a decent theater critic actually go into SWEET CHARITY and not know how it's going to end? I mean, I can understand going into THE DROWSEY CHAPARONE and not knowing ANYTHING about it, but SWEET CHARITY has been around since 1966 (and the movie it's adapted from around ten years before that!! How could a self-respecting theater critic write such balderdash!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I slept well too - even if I did find myself wide awake at 6:30... again - ???  In any case... I did manage to fall back asleep until around 10:00.  :)

I guess I need to head downstairs now and get cleaned up so I can do my usual Friday errands.

The schools are out today in town, so traffic may be worse than usual. Argh!

DR Jennifer - Breathe.  :)

I actually didn't mind how the show was focused last night on the "winners" and the "losers".  As for some of the "questionable winners", I have to to wonder if that's a ploy by the producers to get those contestants to step it up and get their acts together for the live rounds. -I'm sure they're all going to watch themselves - and listen to the judges' comments.  And, heck, it will make for some good TV in the coming weeks.  I hope.

As for the "losers" who were featured, I think they just wanted to give them a chance to tell their stories, as it were.  They worked hard, they had dealt with some amazing obstacles, and they would have made it had there been room for one or two more people in the finals.

However, what I've always liked about "SYTYCD?" is that there no "Paula" or "Randy" on the judging panel.  They tell it like it is.  They have no qualms telling the contestants that they did not like what they just saw.  Is being brutally honest always the best thing?  Well...  However, it's much better than half-ass, half-sincere critiques.

DR SwishySarah - RE: The Gelato - Do you remember the name of the store/company?  GROM just opened up their first branch outside of Italy on the Upper West Side.  And I have to say, that that is some damn good gelato!

DR Jose, my friends who have the French bakery in Marietta (I think I brought you one of their croissants) went to NY for a few days last week. They had never been there. I found out about this the day they were leaving but I wish I'd known sooner because I would have liked to make a Jose approved tour map of your favorite bakeries.

They planned to stay at the Hotel Carter. I seemed to remember that this place was kind of a pit, but I didn't want to diss their choice, so I said that I'd heard it goes up and down, and I hope they hit it on one of their "up" times. I gave her the address of The Hotel Edison just in case. She called after she got back to thank me for saving their trip. It was indeed a pit!

DR Ben - Ah, the Merritt Parkway... When we had the time - or if there was major construction on 95 - the van driver would take the Merritt back into NYC from time to time too.  That is a nice scenic drive.  -Glad to hear that you made it there and back, safe and sound.

DR Jose - a Washington Metro question:  For our ALA conference later this month, one of my coworkers and her family will be staying near the Vienna metro station.  How long should she expect it to take her from there to the Washington Convention Center?  It looks like she'll have to transfer, too.

Aw, thanks.  :)

As for the Hotel Carter...  Yeah, it can be kind of a pit, but it's also one of the cheapest hotels in the Theatre District.  And, if remember correctly, they're parking rates are rather cheap too.  But I guess you get what you pay for.

We have a new Italian place that opened up near our new house.  It's pretty reasonable and has gelato.
