I'm running very behind this morning, so let me hop off-line and go downstairs to find something to fix for lunch.

Guess I'll do the long jog - I got up a little later than planned and I'm still groggy and STILL full from last night's meal.

Well, I better go.  I can't find one of the presents I got for my mother, which is something she would normally do, lol.  I have other things so it doesn't matter, but this irritates me.

Anyway, it's her 82nd birthday today and I'm going to leave within the hour to spend today with them and sing in their church choir tomorrow morning at the Easter service. I'm looking forward to it


Happy Birthday to Cilla's Mom!

We are going to color Easter eggs this morning at the church. I do not understand why we color Easter eggs and have an egg hunt at church. That would be like having Santa there at Christmas. But I am outvoted.

I believe it has more to do with pagan Rome and reconciling mythologies, DR Laura!

Eggs are a symbol of fertility and the spring season of regeneration. So go paint and know you're a part of something that's lasted longer than we'll ever know.

TOD - I imagine sometime along the line I've seen productions of Coward plays, but my best memory is of a 2-LP set that was owned by the library where I started my career:

Cowardy Custard

Hmm, wonder if it's on CD?



It isn't! I want it just for the hilarious "Spinning Song." My memory is that it's sung by Patricia Routledge but I could be wrong.

If any DRs don't own this Coward BITTER SWEET recording, including the great Rosemary Ashe (the original POTO Carlotta) who sings "If Love Were All" and "Kiss Me" on it, I recommend this album heartily. It's a recording of the complete published score, although the score is generally cut down in performance because there's so much of it.

I don't like the leading man much because he doesn't sound  Middle-European, but Valerie Masterson and Rosie are excellent and the score is a fantastic 1920s operetta score.

I see there are several used and new items on Amazon.com at a lower price than the Amazon.com price.

DR Jennifer the thought of you and your niece trying to play hopscotch made me laugh.

Good Afternoon!

And, yes, it did indeed take me a little longer to get to the theater today. It only took the usual 20 minutes to get from the apartment to the other side of the Ravenel Bridge. But then it took another 20 minutes to go the remaining six blocks. But I'm here.

Hi, Jane and thanks!

Yes, I do.  Too many. 4 cats and a dog who thinks he's a cat. I also co-own a very sweet pit bull with an ex girlfriend.

And yourself?

That is crazy news DR TCB. Is this common? that people who wear glasses could have their eyes correct themselves? I've never heard of this!


The doctor had no way to explain it.  It does happen, but it is very rare.

DR TCB - I always hoped that the farsightedness that comes with aging would cancel out the nearsightedness I've had since 3rd grade and correct my vision completely.  Glad it seems to have worked out that way for you!

T.O.D.

I have done three Coward shows:

BLITHE SPIRIT
HAY FEVER
PRESENT LAUGHTER

I have also seen several other productions of SPIRIT and PRIVATE LIVES, although I would have killed to see Taylor in Burton do LIVES, but I couldn't get a ticket for love or money (of which I had very little of either).

I think I have mentioned before that PRESENT LAUGHTER was a personal triumph for me.  I never fought harder to win a role.  It came down between me and one other actor.  We went through three different callbacks before I landed the role.  When the show opened the audiences loved it, and the local critic at the time made the review a complete valentine to me, leaving out everyone else in the cast.  The cast was not thrilled, but the show was a huge hit; and for me, my 15 minutes of fame.
