Good morning!

The sun has been going in and cloud of the thick clouds all morning, but it promises to get up to 90 today.

So much tsuris, so little time.  Vibes for all, including the Monkey and His Brass.

BK, one of my cast members was your close personal friend Kay Cole's cover in the national tour of Les Mis, I just found out.  She also did the national tour of Fiddler with Herschel Bernardi (she was Chava), and has been regaling me with hilarious Bernardi stories.  He evidently wasn't very nice to work with.  :)

bk, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!   :)

Certainly, I'm not laughing at bk's troubles, but this gave me my first big laugh of the day.

Thanks!

I got up early this morning to mow the front yard. I probably could have waited a few more days; it really wasn't that overgrown, but it was a cool morning, and I'm not certain how many of those we're likely to have in the upcoming week.

Now, I won't have to worry about it for awhile.

I think I forgot to mention that I did get around to watching a DVD for fun last night - THE RITZ.

The movie has always seemed just a bit off in comic timing and the way the gags are staged  and filmed for me. I saw it at the movies when it first opened and at a revival house, too, some years later, and it just always leaves me feeling that certain parts of it just don't work at all on screen.

I do think Paul Price is hilarious in all of his scenes. I'm a big fan of Kaye Ballard, but I don't think she's shown to very good advantage here at all. And, of course, Treat Williams is a stitch.

Though she also did it with Nehemiah Persoff, IIRC, whom she said was divoon.

Among the funnier Bernardi stories--when the tour ended and Bernardi handed out gifts to the cast, he had "gotten" them the chocolate mints that had been left on his pillows at the various hotels.  :)  One each.  :)

Hello.

I have a list of those "annoying annoyances' to do today, so guess what? I got engrossed in the posts. Isn't that funny? (Procrastination, I find, takes all forms.)

PennyO: I saw so much of that while taking care of my dad and my uncle. It is truly heartbreaking. Might you find someone who needs an inexpensive place to live to help your cousin? God knows that many people must be hurting financially these days.

I'm heading down to jump in the shower and get cleaned up for the rest of the day. Meeting some friends for drinks late this afternoon, so I have to look presentable.

DR Kerry - I'm on my 10th and 11th books of my convalescence:

Conrad Richter's The Fields - second in the Awakening Land trilogy

Rhys Bowen's Death of Riley - second in her Molly Murphy mystery series, set in early 20th-century NYC

Still haven't read Water for Elephants!

DR Penny O, your cousin is very fortunate to have you helping out...it makes you wonder what becomes of people in similar situations when there is no one to assist them.

I'm trying to read this one, too.

I say "trying"because I usually read in bed before going to sleep. My big love cat doesn't like me to read so he always shoves the book out of the way so he can make out with me.

So I haven't gotten very far...

with the book, that is.
