I must say I am continually encouraged by the kindnesses HHW-ers show each other.

Yes, when I think about some of the things DR elmore3003 has posted about DR MBarnum, it brings tears to my eyes!    ;)

Now that was funny!

Jose - what does "auditing" a show mean?

Auditing means sitting in the pit of a show during a show. It's a good time to gossip, compare iPhone apps, read magazines, try to make the other musicians laugh, eat cookies and other sweets, etc. Oh, and it's also a good time to observe the keyboards and start learning the book/keyboard part. ;)

Back from the long jog, during which I finally and I mean FINALLY fixed a lyric in a Nudie song that's been bothering me since I wrote it - it's the Eunice song, the song that has gone through many versions - I really like it now, but it seemed to me that one of the laugh lines came way too late AND it was worded awkwardly and never got the point across - I finally figured out how to make it the fourth line of the song and I figured out the perfect wording to sock the laugh home - happy!

BK's post reminded me that I also loved THE HAPPY TIME (really loved it!) and my Hitchcock of choice which got trashed was TORN CURTAIN.

DR MattH, the boys are on today! I think there will be a lot of them, Casey, Allison, and Matt(???) the cellmate.

Thanks for the notice, DR Elmore. I'll skim through it later this evening. I got so involved with the adventures of Jessica Fletcher that I didn't stop to watch it before I came upstairs.

I thoroughly enjoyed last night's LEVERAGE except, of course, it featured one of my genuinely most despised actresses currently working: Lauren Holly. And she was just as stilted and robotic last night in her line deliveries as she almost always is. One of my happiest moments was the murder of her character on NCIS last season.

(To be fair, she played the shrewish wife Dennis Quaid in ANY GIVEN SUNDAY that I reviewed a week or two ago, and she was actually good. I was quite surprised she had that kind of performance in her.)

I had time to watch the first four episodes in the MURDER SHE WROTE box set. So far, Jessica has been in Milan, Cabot Cove, New York, and Ireland.

Among the guest stars I've seen thus far: Cesar Romero, Herb Edelman, Joseph Bologna, Susan Blakeley, George Hearn, Ken Howard, and, of course, Ron Masak and William Windom in the Cabot Cove-set mystery.

We watched "The Yellow Rolls Royce" last night.

It was "Fluff" in 1964 and it certainly still is.  But it is an enjoyable piece of fluff.

Smoke is in the air.  The wind has been from the East.  At this stage of the morning no town is under threat but the fires are far from "controlled".

I listened to THE GLORIOUS ONES for the first time yesterday. 

What a lovey score.

It has been a long long time since a first hearing of a musical impressed so much.

Thanks for explainng. Very nice that you get those opportunities.  Will you still get a chance to do it before the show ends?  I understand it is a limited run and is closing soon

Proofed liner notes.  And now must think about foodstuffs.  Perhaps I'll go have some eggs somewhere.  That sounds good to me.

I am trying to decide where to  stay on my Los Angeles trip...should I stay at The Hollywood Orchid off of Franklin in Hollywood or should I stay at The 777 Motor Inn in Studio City on Ventura.

Part of me wants to stay at the Sportsman's Lodge...but they only have internet access in the really expensive rooms  >:(
