On a brighter note - our brand new replacement highschool has a full-up theatre - orchestra pit, isolated sound and lighting booths, etc.

And you no doubt protested the tax increase to pay for it every step of the way!

In fact no. I supported the bond measure, and a second one to build a second playing field and an Olympic pool (which failed). When the School Board discovered that they were going to have money left over (they got a much better deal on the bond rates than they originally projected) I supported a referendum that would have diverted the excess funds to technology upgrades for the schools - it failed and our tax rate was lowered. But never fear, the Federal Government is here! The district got Federal Stimulus funds to do the technology upgrade the local citizenry refused to fund.

I have never felt I was overtaxed, I just feel that often my tax dollars are unwisely spent.

Because AI ran about five minutes longer than the 61 minutes scheduled, Glee started late, and consequently those who had recorded it missed the last five minutes – so Fox screwed their own preview!

Tonight's AI is scheduled to run 7 minutes past the hour, but Ryan warned everybody last night that they would run late to night – I wonder if late will mean past the 2 hour-7 minute mark?

I wondered about that and manually set my DVR to start recording "Glee" 3 minutes early and to stop recording 30 minutes late, so I got it all.

I have just cast the role of Harry in Nudie Musical - it's Ted Detweiler, a very nice chap who appears on the TV series Sordid Lives (I think that's what it's called) - he did the Bacharach benefit, and I'm directing a club act for him, and he gave a very good reading a couple of weeks ago. I think he'll do a very good job. Now I must cast the Cindy role asap. I have had two recommendations - we've talked to one of them, a Penny Pingleton from Hairspray - she's going to audition for me on the computer somehow, via Skype or iChat or something like that. Then elmore recommended someone - and we'll be contacting her. So, we're down to just needing a Dick Davis and Rosie right now.

T.O.D.

On April 19 you said in your notes that you had a nice visit with Ted Detweiler and you would be working with him soon. Were you referring to NUDIE MUSICAL then, or his club act?

At that time I was referring to the act he'll be doing.

ASK BK

Can you confirm that the reading will indeed be June 15 & 16?

If so I will try to book a cheap ticket to come over to see it.

I think I've confirmed it about thirty times - yes, the reading is the 15 and 16 so not only book your flight, book reservations now. Just send an e-mail to nudiemusical at gmail dot com.

Wednesday evening greetings! I had to be at Wright State University at 8am today for the spring volunteer administrators' conference, which was very well done. This was the first year in many that I haven't been treasurer and sitting at the registration table all day. Did a couple of errands on the way home and just finished a nice dinner of BLT sandwiches with Richard, Rob, and Mary Linda. For dessert we had rhubarb upside down cake made by one of my friends who's in the Bible study class that Richard teaches at a nearby church.

Another pointless casting session and waste of an hour - only three people were booked and one of them showed up (all for Dick Davis). He was an amateur but gave a funny reading - but it's one of those parts that anyone can give a funny reading with - it's all there on the page and with this character there's really no way to muck it up. So, he's a possibility, IF he understands what commitment is and what kind of experience he'll be having. Cason's going to talk to him. So, I'm hoping to talk to all our potential Rosie's by the end of the week.

This morning a male Cardinal was so anxious he came flying right up the window glass and flapped his wings

Sounds like the Cardinal at St. Anthony's.

reading a book, much less WRITING a book, has become sort of a thing of the past

That's what I thought too, which makes the popularity of the Kindle so surprising to me.

It seems that books and reading are (still) very popular in the Philippines. -At least that's what it looked like when I was "over there" last week. The high-end shopping mall we stayed near had three book stores, and they all seemed to be doing good business. What was really interesting to me was the amount of titles from the U.S. - especially in regards to cookbooks. In fact, the first cookbook display I came across featured the second cookbook from the folks at Magnolia Bakery!

*It also seemed that most of the hardcover titles were sold or were at least wrapped in that clear library covering - the name escapes me right now.

Plastic?

I was trying to figure out why I never saw the movie, then I realized I was 10 yrs old in 1963. I don't even remember being 10.
