Good morning!

We had a nice long rainstorm last night which cooled things down enough for me to turn off the A/C and open everything up. It's still overcast this morning and collish (though not as low as I'd like). The house is OK right now, but I just know that the minute I turn the attic fan off and close stuff up, the A/C will flip right on.

I'm looking forward to seeing WALL-E, but first I plan to go to see YOUNG AT HEART and see THE FALL again (Greg was out of town when I went with my friend).

My DH thought you might enjoy a little sampling of "Dukefest":

I'll be getting WALL-E on Blu-ray in the fall to review. If it comes to the local theater a few blocks from my house (it's not there now), I may walk down there one afternoon and see it on the big screen. If not, the Blu-ray will have to suffice.

I do have (hopefully) MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST to watch today, but the nice thing is that if the audio is screwed up again, Bravo repeats their hit shows enough that I can try another airing to see if that is OK.

I do know that after two weeks of the 10 p.m. airing being an audio nightmare, I'll not record it at that hour again.

In the full-sized version of this, you can see  my DH in the crows nest with the flag guy, aiming his boom at the General Lee.

And, as reported yesterday, I have the lovely JAKE AND THE FATMAN waiting to be reviewed. It's only 11 episodes on three discs, so I should be able to get two of the discs done today and maybe even have time for something fun later.

I am excited about BURN NOTICE starting up this week. Once I finish the box set of THE CLOSER I'm watching now, I'll start with BURN NOTICE (which was one of my Deep Discount sale purchases).

And here's John Schneider, looking good! Greg said that he was wonderful to work with, very pleasant to everyone, and had tremendous presence and charisma and could light up a room when he walked in.

Some people weren't happy that Tom Wopat was there for such a short period of time, and only signed autographs for an hour or so. But hey! He's on Broadway, what do they expect? He said that he usually doesn't do these things but John told him it was very important (they raised a LOT of money for charity) so he did it.

The one thing I wish I had a picture of was the riding lawnmower race out in the middle of the track. The drivers were decked out like NASCAR drivers, with helmets, etc. and had souped-up lawnmowers!

John Schneider auctioned off his personal motorcycle (seen here) and they also auctioned off the 3 General Lee Dodge Chargers that they wrecked trying to make that 200 ft leap!

Good morning to one and all and all and one.  I see you out there DRLaura, oh, friend of friends.  Sorry I won't see you and your lovely children in church today, but I'm tied up or laid up or something.

We were discussing something during one of DRLaura's visits to me in the hospital and came up with "Steaks and Ankles"   This sounds like the title of Bruce's new book-- a murder mystery with a pulp-type illustration of a woman in black elbow-length gloves and wearing stockings with seams.

Wasn't Steaks and Ankles a chain restaurant back in the '70's?

Oh...never mind.

Hi, DR Kerry!  Do you have your feet propped up?  Would you like to borrow my walker?  May I have this dance?

Seriously, I hope you're on the mend and not in too much pain!

Our steaks and ankles conversation probably made perfect sense to the guy on the other side of the curtain if he was in a drug haze.

I had hoped to go see WALL-E this weekend, but I don't know if that will happen or not. But I am eager to see it.

I'm not sure! I'll ask when he gets home today (he's working on something for the Braves today.) I know besides the aforementioned folks, he worked with "Daisy Duke" and "Cooter" (Ben Jones, who used to be a state Representative here.) John Schneider sang with "Cooter"'s band.

Looking at their site, I see that James Best was not only there, but he was selling a DVD at his booth!

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up...  And it was sooooo nice to sleep in my own bed again last night.  The hotel bed was comfortable, but there really is nothing like home.  *And I didn't have to worry about walking into the bathroom and seeing ants scurrying around when I turned on the lights.

I must say, I'm bummed about NYMF this year: so far no one's called me to ask me work on a production. I hope that changes.



DR elmore - I know a few people who have shows slated for NYMF this fall, and everyone seems to be a little "slow" in regards to assembling production staff - which seems to be sort of the norm for NYMF.  Casting (EPAs) starts this week, and I think that's what most of the creative teams are concerned with right now.  I've been asked if I'm available/interested for one of the shows, but they can't commit to me until later this month when they find out if one of their original MDs will end up being available for the NYMF run.

And as DR Noel mentioned, there are fewer shows this year, and since most of the shows have been in utero for a while, a bunch of them already have some "teams" on hold from previous incarnations.

And speaking of Tom Wopat - He just received a very nice review of his cabaret act in the New York Times.  He's performing on Thursday nights through the end of the month - which, I'm guessing, explains why A Catered Affair is having Thursday matinees now (and no Thursday evening performances).

Guess I'll head down now and get the laundry sorted and ready for washing. Then, I'll think about what's for lunch.
