Good morning, all! I slept late because I needed the rest, and I feel great. Yes, indeedy, the band rehearsal was a lot of fun. We have Mark on drums, Greg on reeds, Aaron on drums, and Brian on keyboard 2. Last week, while I was addressing postcards for "The Brain," I ran across the name "Brian Cimmet" and his phone number. Much as I racked my own pathetic brain, I had no idea who this person was or why I had his phone number. At the end of last night's rehearsal, while the band was packing up, the keyboard player mentioned that he believed he had done some copy work for me on Brent Barrett's "Three Broadway Tenors" act: the keyboard player's last name? Cimmet!
Beyond the rehearsal, I have few plans for the day: Staples for paper, the post office to send a letter with delivery confirmation to the Macbeths, a rehearsal, and home like so much fish.
DR Cillaliz, if your interpreter is a full-time person, couldn't you hire instead a part-time secretary and a part-time interpreter or an interpreter on a consulting basis?
TOD: Depending on which happened first, a re-release of SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS or CINDERELLA in 1950, that was my first film. I was around 3 and a half years of age. I was reading by that point, because I had a wonderful "little big book" of Cinderella I carted everywhere. My memory of both films is vague except for images: the transformation of the queen into the crone, the mice's effort to get the key up to the tower to save Cinderella. In 1951, I saw ALICE IN WONDERLAND, and I have a lot of memories - including the fact that the book was much too difficult for a four and a half year-old reader! I also remember that my mother and I went into the theatre (the old Paramount on Broad Street) and the film was already playing. We then went upstairs to the balcony to watch the film. I grew up believing the Paramount had two screening rooms. The irony is that if that great old theatre were still standing, it would probably have four to six screening rooms!
