Today the DH and I are going to participate in a cooking class at a local French restaurant, followed by "an elegant 3-course meal."  If it's going to be elegant, I guess we're not eating what we've just cooked.   :)

Morning all. I'm back to some semblance of normalcy.

The trip to DC was successful though we won't know for a while if anything comes of our efforts. My train trip went without incident both to DC and back from DC. I do wish I would have had a couple of hours to wander in DC or even an hour to walk around Union Station.

I got back home at 7pm after leaving the house at 6:30am for a 7:15 train. My best intentions were to work on the Tuesday morning presentation but I threw that idea out the window as I sat on the Number 1 train heading to 18th Street. I got home, Anthony put on his shoes and we went back out to the Hollywood Diner on the corner for a light dinner of soup and sandwiches (yes, we could have made those at home but I just spent 12 hours in work mode and we would have needed to wash dishes, etc so I chose the diner).

We then came home, Anthony made a phone call and after that I went to bed.

I got up early and came to the office to put together the 5 minute version of my presentation for the Henry Luce Foundation. It was surprisingly easy. I whittled down a 15 minute presentation to just 4 PowerPoint slides and 4 minutes of notes and then I rehearsed. Spontaneity requires rehearsal, at least for me. I don't have to memorize it but I have to know it so well it feels like it's memorized. The presentation went very well. My upper level boss (my bosses boss) complimented me and I was happy. That took the entire morning. Then after lunch I had a project that needed to be finished "yesterday" which I finally finished at 3:55pm. I leave at 4pm so I just left 5 minutes early.

I now have a host of other projects to finish, all of which are PRIORITY ONE. We shall see which one gets finished first.

That's all for now.

Bye

Good morning, all! I have to be out of here shortly to pay a visit to my barber. On the way, I hope to do a bit of banking.  From there, I'm off to a meeting about Volume 2 of Babes in Toyland, and what work needs to be accomplished on other projects. 

Later today, I have a meeting with the ever wonderful Liz Callaway about some charts. I've also got a bit of banking to be done and some work on Jerome Moross' BALLETY BALLADS; I'm currently on "Susanna and the Elders." I'm also a bit concerned that I'm not hearing from my copyist on Moross' GENTLEMEN BE SEATED, his Civil War musical. I've emailed and left messages and I'm getting perturbed.

Time to make the bed and leave.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I'm really tempted to spend most of today outside. It feels like Fall! ;)  -And it's also supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so.. We shall see.

When I first came across that story yesterday, I first thought it was another military scandal since most of the headlines read, "Ensign Admits To Affair".  Ensign? Not even an officer? Why is this making national headlines? And then I read the story... Ohhh...

HA!  Michael Riedel's column is a fun read today!  Most of it concerns Ashton Kutcher's possible upcoming Broadway debut in Neil LaBute's Fat Pig.  One of my favorite lines from today's column:

"While Kutcher has no stage experience to speak of, he does Twitter."

I'm reticent.  Oh yes, I'm reticent.  But we will have the read thru for MAN OF LA MANCHA tonight.  We shall see.

Of course in her acceptance email, one woman added five days of conflicts, which I am NOT happy about.....it caused me to change the rehearsal schedule that was already completed - and kicked one girl out of her first rehearsal after her return from seeing her brother off to war.  GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Good morning!

It's cool here! Yes, we've had drizzle this morning which has helped make this the most pleasant morning in weeks. I've got the house opened up and am just loving the coolness. How I'm going to hate getting back into the 90s tomorrow!

Is that considered normal to wait until after you're offered the part to reveal conflicts?

Lots of rain last night here, as well.

Sorry to hear that the reading was not to MR BK's liking - it is most frustrating when people don't "get it" - just did KISS ME KATE with a bunch of people (mostly high school kids) who didn't get it.....and I am hoping my cast will NOT be the same.

Fingers crossed.  Still have not heard back from one dependable guy....so perhaps he doesn't realize he should respond to the email.

Not in one of MY shows.  But remember here at PCPH, if you are in the ensemble, you can take a performance night off, if you feel like it.

Today I'll be working on LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD, Criterion's release that comes out next Tuesday. I have both the DVD and Blu-ray, and as usual, I'll be reviewing the DVD first. There is a second disc of bonus features, so I'll be on this for a while today.
