Last night we watched an episode of WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE with your friend Laurie Mitchell.

How did she enjoy it?

DR Druxy, so far has one free day line up in Austin.

I'm up, I'm up.  Wanted to sleep just a little longer, but didn't, obviously.  I was up till two doing some CD rearranging.  Because we were able to get so many books up in that storage area, all the books that I'd moved to the linen closet (which has a LOT of space and I have very little linen and towels), I've been moving in all the classical CDs so I can free up space in the CD closet - so that's what I was doing last night.  Today I may try to get another shelf cleared, which would be very helpful.

I think she would have liked to have shared the last scene with William Schallert.

I"m up... the dog is up.  It's Friday, which means nothing when you work on the weekend.  Tomorrow are auditions for The King and I of which I still need to watch the movie.  I think a listen to the 1977 cast recording will suffice for now.  Callbacks are next week so I may have a week to "catch-up". 

That's all, for now...

DR Matthew, there's also the JAY complete recording of every note in the score . . .

DR Elmore, thanks for your post.  I've been putting off purchasing this CD as I've been told the vocals are not great, but I've changed my mind as it will be a great resource for dance music and such.... maybe even eliminate me having to be at some initial dance rehearsals.  Thanks for the nudge.

I like ENO and G&S soprano Valerie Masterson a lot, as well as most of the major cast. I'm not keen on Christopher Lee as the King, but the major drawback is that it's a studio cast assembled to record a score and not particularly keen on the dramatic side of things. I prefer it to the Donna Murphy "I'm-the-sourest-anna-in -history-screw-you-so-rewrite-these-accompaniments" approach, even if our BK did record it.

Friday morning greetings!  This afternoon I'll be in Dayton learning about federal funding with my grantwriter friends.   And this evening, my AAUW friends are gathering at Kelly's for a movie night to watch Iron Jawed Angels.

IRON JAWED ANGELS? I think elmore has that as a video.

I am shocked and stunned, Matthew, that you have never seen a production of THE KING AND I!

Friday Media Check:

CD - XANADU (OCR)

DVD - WALKER TEXAS RANGER, Season 6
          MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION (Criterion)

DVR - Nada

I thought of buying the CD of the OCR of XANADU.  Instead, I decided to invite Cheyenne Jackson over for the weekend.

Well... After checking the bus and train schedules, as well as the weather forecasts, I believe I'm going to get out of dodge - well, New York City - this afternoon.  So... Time To Pack!

Laters...

*Of course, while NYC is supposed to be experiencing almost-record cold temps over the next few days, the forecast for Richmond is almost Spring/Fall-like - temps in the 40s & 50s.

I got  phone call from our DR FJL. Roadrunner and his apartment are on the outs; there will not be a repair person to check on things until Wednesday. He sends E&T apologies but we most likely will not see him with us until then.

Perhaps next week we can have dinner?

[Jane]

DR elmore, thank you for the update on DR FJL.  Now we will simply miss him without worry.

[vixmom]

Vixdad and I went to see the surgeon today.  He said the tumor is my mouth is almost completely eradicated and confirmed what the Radiation Oncologist said Monday about the lump in my neck being smaller!! 

He says we will finish up treatment on the 29th and then it will take about 3  months for me to get back enough feeling in my throat and mouth to begin eating by mouth again.  About 3 months after I finish treatment they will do another full body scan to seeif there are any stray cancer cells left.  If there are, I may need surgery, however at this point he said to be he expects a full recovery with no surgery necesarry!!!

I meet with the Chemo Oncologist this afternoon for her review

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVIL TWIN!  (Any twin of td is a twin of mine)

[bk]

I cleared two more shelves in the CD closet, and now it's quite lovely in there, with almost everything fitting where it should.

[vixmom]

We had to get past a surly parking attendant but when we entered the doctor's office Chauncy greeted me with a smile and my name (my own, for the first time ever!)

 When we were kept waiting for 45 minutes he apologized, twice!

(I did hear one of the women whisper to him, 'Who's that?"in a puzzled voice and when he replied with my name and she nodded knowingly - so I suspect Something was Said)

[bk]

Now I must jog and then write and then go to Glendale and then come back and then eat and then write some more.

[vixmom]

Happy Birthday Evil Twin!

[JoseSPiano]

Good Afternoon!

Breathe...

[JoseSPiano]

DR vixmom - Wonderful, Wonderful!!!!!

[JoseSPiano]

DR elmore - I'm planning on heading back to NYC on either Tuesday or Wednesday - I may stay until Thursday since this visit is my "Christmas visit".  But once I'm back...  Dinner!

[JoseSPiano]

So, I believe I've got my bag packed, and now I'm just gonna take care of some more cleaning and organizing before I head down to Chinatown to grab the 4:30 bus down to Richmond.  Just taking a little breather right now before I head back to the excavation site. 

[JoseSPiano]

Hmm... I wonder if I can make a stop by DR FJL's place before I head out of town this afernoon...

[George]

DR George, great that you had such a wonderful last performance!!

Thanks, Singdaw!  I'm very glad, also!

It is a shame, vixmom, that it required a phone call from another doctor in order for you to be treated like a human being.  You weren't waiting in line at the fish market in Pioneer Square (where you would have been treated far better); you were there for an oncology appointment.

Our Regional Administrator has a secretary (clerical employee) who somehow believes that she is now something other than a clerical worker, because she answers the telephone for the boss.

Sometimes people believe that shoveling the King's poop is any more important than shoveling other people's poop.

[George]

A Very Happy Birthday to (former?) DR Evil Twin!!

[George]

DR George great news your final show was a big hit.

Thank you, Jane!
