Back from Mom's birthday celebration.  The theatre was beautifully restored, the organ "pre-" show fabulous, and my first enounter with a Charlie Chaplin film - CITY LIGHTS - was a revelation!  Loved it!  Topped off by a very nice lunch out.   :)

bk, relative to Sondheim + Tick Tick Boom, I found the following online:

NEW YORK Opening-nighters at the musical "Tick, Tick ... Boom!" were astounded to hear Stephen Sondheim's voice blare out on the answering machine when the Jonathan Larson character (Raul Esparza), a down-and-out composer-lyricist, receives an unexpected call from his idol. At the post-perf party June 13 at Chinghalle, "Tick" producer Robyn Goodman said getting the notoriously private Sondheim to lend his vocals to the show was no problem.

"I faxed him a request and he said yes. He remembered going to one of Jonathan's workshops."

That leads me to suspect that the moment is captured either on the cast album of Tick Tick Boom, which I have, or the Jonathan Larson demo disc, which I also have.  But I can't confirm for you at this moment if that is the case for sure.

DR George - I'm embarrassed to admit that I plugged it in to make sure it turned on, but beyond that I've yet to crack open the manual or try to hook it up.  I'm just hopelessly slow in adapting technologically to anything new.  I assume you're happy with yours?  :)

So happy, I got a second one!  It's actually quite easy...once you learn what to do. ;D

Well, I've actually not tried out the 200 hour lowest quality setting, yet (you can REALLY tell a difference :P).  I have the Comcast DVRs to record shows that I want to watch and I delete what I don't want to keep, but if it's something special that I want to burn to DVD (like Camelot or the Mary Tyler Moore reunion on "The Oprah Winfrey Show"), then I've been recording it from the DVR to the DVD burner on XP (1 hour per disc) or SP (2 hours per disc...you have to set the recording speed/quality before you actually start recording onto the DVD burner) and then delete from both it when it's all done.  The instructions say that the burner is not a permanent storage system.

We had a delightful time at the graduation picnic for DS Rob's friend and DH Richard's former student Andrew.  He will be leaving at the end of the summer for a year of teaching English in Singapore.

The weather here in SW Ohio is absolute perfection for outdoor events and it's supposed to be this way until late Monday  8)

Umm...I knew that. ;)

The EP setting (lowest quality) can be set to make your burned DVDs have either six or eight hours.  That's a setting in the set-up.  When you change the record setting (XP to SP to LP, etc.), it shows how many hours are left on the hard drive and I think the 8-hour setting actually gives you over 100 hours.  I don't remember exactly how much, but I'm sure that it's more than 100. :)

Well, my work at work is done!  I'm going to leave HHW for the day and meet up with TCB.  We'll then go to Issaquah to meet with Fred and Skip again (hopefully) and see The Last Starfighter reading!! ;D

Have a good day, all!

DR Jeanne-Have you watched any of the shows where they stage the houses to sell?  Admittedly most of those homes can be fixed with a good amount of common sense, such as CLEAN THE KITTY LITTER! ;D

When we sold our last home we were asked a number of times by other realtors if the house had been professionally staged.  We were very flattered since it was us (mostly Keith) that did the staging.  During showings we loaded the car with the cats, kitty litter and the dog.  The dog loved it, the cats weren’t very happy.
My point, I speak from experience.   Bryan did a great job staging his loft following the suggestions of his realtor & his experiences with all our moves.  A good realtor should offer suggestions, and “tarting” up the house shouldn’t be one of them.  The key is to simplify.  The counters should practically be bare.  The contents of closets, cabinets, etc should be loosely filled.  The furniture arranged in a pleasing manor which makes the rooms look open and large.  Possibly some furniture should be stored to accomplish this.  Window treatments should be open so light filters in.  
Somehow I have a feeling you don’t need much additional work to accomplish this without a professional or with simply a consultation.

GOOD LUCK!

I will not be attending the reading of THE LAST STARFIGHTER.  All these medications for the MRSA have made me sick to my stomach and very dizzy.  I just can't believe that I have to miss this performance!

Back from all sorts of things.  First off, the news is not good re the power shortage in the den - it won't now be fixed until Tuesday, and he won't allow the breaker to be turned on, because he can actually hear it shorting and sparking.  It's a huge thing to do - to figure out where in the line it's happening - and he may end up having to re-wire the entire line to the den.  It's going to take most of Tuesday, he says.  So, watching motion pictures this weekend is out, unless I want to sit on my bed like so much fish, and I just get no joy out of doing that or watching on a small screen.

At the urging of many, I became a Costco member today.  I learned one thing immediately:  Never go there on a Saturday.  It was a madhouse and one fellow told me that it was a LIGHT Saturday.  He suggested always coming mid-week around four in the afternoon, which is what I'll do.  I was rather amazed by the enormity of the jernt.  I bought three HUGE squeeze bottles of ketchup for nine bucks - I know that saves a lot of dough from what you'd pay for much smaller bottles for a regular supermarket.  I bought two 32-can packs of Diet Coke for 8.85 each, plus whatever that recycling fee they add on - it's really not THAT big of a savings, maybe three or four bucks tops.  I bought some Reese's snack bars - that was the bargain of the day - under five bucks for a carton of forty-two bars.

.

In an early scene Russell is talking about his football trading cards saying he had just gotten a Jim Brown card and Kimble says, "But you don't have a Johnny Unitas. You can't have a good collection without Johnny Unitas." I wonder how many people watching this sets will remember those names from football yesteryear. They were both superstars in their day. Do people still remember them?

I know both of those names and I don't even keep track of football, past or present.
