I wonder if anyone has been listening to DR's Ben's review of "Gypsy"


Unfortunately I have to wait for the CD to hear his beautiful voice.

Lovely to see you here too.  Has the fishing season finished so soon?

I'm hoping to purchase a copy of "The Baker's Boy" by J V Jones today. (My adoptive Dad was a Baker).

Of course I shall need the German Language version.

I do will wait for the next CD.  Of course it will sound way better than listening to Patti who would have been better getting a gimmick - like singing.

Was Glocca Mora that Hungarian Soprano with the reputation for Dwarf throwing?

For the people in a parallel universe - will tomorrow's Word of the day be "consort".

Hopefully that is obscure enough.

We are also "home" after a lovelier than lovely dinner party at Fred & Skip's.  They are such thoughtful hosts and, as you've heard from DR Elmore, the food was fantastic.  My first taste of the famous fried chicken didn't disappoint and the salad and bread (which Richard really liked) were the perfect accompaniments.  Dessert was outstanding, too.

We went directly to the party after seeing Around the World in 80 Days at the Irish Rep.  It was very well done, with only 5 actors and 2 sound effects people.  Some very clever performances and quite an enjoyable afternoon.

(Imagine me waving my hands about and attempting to impersonate Dick Tufeld.)

Warning!  Warning!

I will not be scorekeeping tomorrow, at least not for the first half of the day.

I'm scheduled to work from 6:30 in the morn (that's nrom spelled backwards) until 12:30 just past noon (that's noon spelled backwards).

Of course, things could end up very much like today.  Today, two cashiers called out, and I was asked to stay an extra three hours.  This made for a nine-hour day, which made for some nice overtime, but it also left me quite exhausted.  If the same sort of scenario sticks on the 'morrow, I may not be in good mental shape for scorekeeping until I get a good nap, which means not until the very last hours of the day.

Just thought I ought to warn you.

(It occurs to me that almost nobody is going to get that Tufeld reference, at least not without looking it up.  Such is life.)

Tufeld's best known role - one of the reasons I loathed the stupidity of Lost in Space!  (I did look up the reference)

(I guess I was just too old for it)

When I first saw SOUTH PACIFIC as a young lad (yes, it had just opened) I couldn't understand why the guy was named Oatmeal.  Of course, I thought the name Emile was pretty strange, as well.

BTW:  The guy in the dress on the cover, played Charlie's Aunt in the production that Jed and I did two years ago.  Do we see a pattern developing?...
Yes, and the pattern was featured in McCall's.

Good Evening!

Well, I was going to head home for a bit before heading to my next party, but I ended up running into some friends as I was walking up Tenth Avenue, so... After chatting with them for a bit, I headed over to Times Square. I'm currently sitting in the strangely quiet and empty lobby of the Marriott Marquis taking advantage of the WiFi and reading and posting.

As has been recounted by the other DRs in attendance, tonight's dinner at Fred and Skip's was just wonderful. -And Toby and Dylan seemed to be particularly attentive hosts tonight too.  

Yes, pics were taken of the people and the food, but I won't be able to post them until I get home later on tonight or tomorrow morning.

DR SWW - Thank you for your Warning. However, not to dismiss all of your efforts and hard work over the past couple months of Mondays, I am sure we will all be able to keep track of the names - or, at least, "remind" people of any names already listed - on our own until your "return".  -Well, maybe except for bk and DR macchus ;) (who only seems to post on Initials Day anyway).

*Although, frankly, since tomorrow is a holiday, Labor Day, I was thinking it would be nice to take a "holiday" from the Initials too.
