Well, you've read the notes, the notes were wayward and had wind, and now it is time for you to post until the wayward cows come home - right now, they're gone with the wind.

Welcome eleven GUESTS. I'm listening to a home-grown CD of the soundtrack to Goodbye, Charlie by Andre Previn - absolutely delightful.

I'm the only one in the jernt? Well, me and these eleven GUESTS. Won't one of you come out and play?

I don't think I saw ten really good theatrical performances, but I did see (and love):

Hairspray (the tour came to Olympia and I ushered for both shows...it was wonderful)
Whistle Down the Wind (the physical production was very good

)
Young Frankenstein (saw it twice in Seattle...very funny)

That's all that I can think of right now.

And with that, I'm off to bed. Good night, BK and any guests.

I always liked the score to "Goodbye, Charlie" and actually bought the sheet music to the title tune on my way home from school in 1965 (64? 66?) even though I couldn't read music and played no instrument. Go figure. Bobby Darrin's version of the title song was pretty good, and it brings a smile the very rare times it is ever played.

Aren't these wayward winds the Santa Ana's? The ones that make everyone crazy?

Gosh, am I the early waker-upper this morning? I don't know when the last time that happened was.

Well, bk was right...I'm returning sheepishly.

Ethel told me you were the builder-upper.

But I wonder who would have the title of being the quicker-picker-upper.

(A bounty such as that would require special talents.)

This is the moment.

Yes, the very one moment I will have to tell you all I am relying upon the wayward wind to help me in my flight back to the Bay Area.

I leave Johnston at 10 a.m. for Columbia SC. From Columbia, I shall depend upon the wayward wind to waft toward Atlanta around 1 p.m.

At 2:40 p.m., a very wayward wind must provide the updraft to get my Delta 747 (or associated model) into the air and westward bound.

All times are EST, of course.

On PST, I shall arrive at 4:45 p.m. (or thereabouts).

Hopefully -- with great HOPE, actually -- I shall engage a door-to-door shuttle for the East Bay shortly after getting my luggage and be on my way home.

Pray for Barbara Pulliam's son Ron to arrive safely and in a timely manner. He needs every bit of help he can get!

We simplified this year...no gift exchange. And it made for a much more stress-free December, let me tell you!

We had a lovely time. Many wonderful foodstuffs [and too much of them] were consumed. We took some great walks, and laughed... a lot.

Benny, who was known for never wasting anything, kept a notepad and pen handy at all times, so that he could copy down anything clever that anyone else had to say and then repeat later.

That's right, he was echo-GNOMIC.

You should have seen that one COMING from a mile away.

Good morning, all! I'm sleeping badly again. I'm also having lots of nightmares and I'd guess there's some underlying anxiety or crisis I need to resolve but i'm not sure what it is. I've been quite depressed this week about my dad, and maybe that's it. I don't know.

Today, more LADY OF THE SLIPPER work and a holiday visit at 6 pm for dinner.

This is fun and thanks to elmore for pointing this out to us: Peter Filichia on theatermania.com named Danny Binstock "Best Actor in a Musical" for 2007 for the title role in The Last Starfighter - not just for the summer festivals this time, but from everything Peter Filichia had seen in 2007. (Audra McDonald was Best Actress in a Musical, as a frame of reference.) See the third paragraph at the link below.

(And no, we seriously don't know who Skip Keonig - also mentioned in the article - is!)
