Yes, DR MBARNUM, I enjoyed to Scotty interview. He was very observant for a child and has some great memories to share.

Another good rehearsal last night, although some lines in the death scene continue to be a problem....for the SAME people.

I took a few photos, but for some reason, my video won't upload on Facebook.

Morning all.

We are off this morning to Anthony's cousin's house in Hamilton (IIRC), NY. We will take the Metro North train to Poughkeepsie. There we will be met by said cousins and will move on to the house. We will be there today and part of tomorrow. We will return sometime late Sunday afternoon. I doubt I'll be around much today so have a good one, if you are so inclined.

Bye for now.

Safe travels, Ben and Ant!

Good morning, all!

I am on my own today; Ron Raines is in Huston, Matthew Kiernan is in the Berkshires, DR Jose is in Richmond, and DR Ben is on Long Island, so I will have to manage on my own today. Luckily, things are improving, and in about 30 minutes, when the pain pills kick in, I will make a trip to the bakery up the street and the Duane Reade drug store across from it.

My freind Gion of the Miami University theatre faculty is stopping by for tea around 10:30, and I want to have a few muffins to offer him. I'll survive the trek. For the rest of the day, I have some work on OH BOY! and LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40.

Last night I watched the Opera Australia production of DIE FLEDERMAUS with Joan Sutherland, and I really enjoyed it. She's not so good in THE MERRY WIDOW but I found her very funny in this. The production is quite lavsh, nicely staged, and very well performed.

I think tonight I'll watch IM WEISSEN ROSSL again.

DR FJL, I am happy you and the lovely Julie are back safely from Pittsburgh! I'm even happier that you had a good time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Healthy Vibes to DRs Michael S and vixmom, positive vibes to DR Ginny and Richard, and Happy Weekend Vibes to everyone! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks, Larry.

sending vibes your way as always

I never posted this during the past week but the gentleman who is part of the older couple I've mentioned in previous posts passed away this week. Anthony has been friends with the woman, Elinor, for over 30 years (she's 86). She married George (He was 81 and they lived in a retirement village on Long Island) seven years ago. George was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus (sp) about a year and half ago. After a long battle he died on Wednesday. Anthony has been helping Elinor for the past few months (he is her health care proxy, etc) and he went out to Long Island on Tuesday. The wake was Thursday and the funeral was yesterday. He now needs a break from all the emotional turmoil. Elinor told him to go away for a few days and relax which is why we're going up to Sue and Michael's for the rest of the weekend (Anthony got back in the city last night about 9pm).

That's the news from Chelsea.

Good vibes to all our dear friends, especially Larry!!!

I don't believe I've mentioned this, but then again my participation only became official last night: I am performing in a reading today (and several future readings) of my dear friend Coni's play CANDLEDANCING. I did this role many moons ago when the script was still in the gestation period, now, the script is published (!), available at Amazon (!) and readings throughout Pittsburgh and NYC are in order. . .

I hope you and Ant have an especially relaxing day, Ben. How good of Ant to take care of his friend.

Laura · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2009, 06:31:41 AM »

And congrats to td on the reading.

I am quite proud of myself. I managed to walk two blocks to the drug store, up and down a flight of stairs there, and cross the street to the Corner Bakery without the aid of crutches. I took one along in case. After the bakery, I headed home. walked a block, and hailed a taxi for the last one. This is a very good sign: on July 14, I couldn't walk at all! I doubt that my perambulations for the rest of the day will be inside my apartment. I've decided, too, that tomorrow I will attempt the laundry.

DR Ben, we have to set a date fro you and Anthony, if he'd like, to come over and watch THE BEGGAR'S OPERA. There is also another production of SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER that I want to purchase.

I'm glad you are doing better, Elmore. Did you ever get a diagnosis?

Kerry · « **Reply #22 on:** August 01, 2009, 07:05:27 AM »

Good morning, ALL!!!!

I need to catch up on posts.

Nope! Dammit.

Im happy to read DR elmore walked by himself

!!! Keep improving!

DR Vixmom, sorry you needed an emergency visit to the hospital. I think DR Jennifer might be right about it being a panic attack, you have had way too much stress.

CONTINUED VIBES TO JOHN & ALL WHO NEED THEM!

Jane · « **Reply #25 on:** August 01, 2009, 07:21:39 AM »

Condolences to Ant.

Congrats to td.

Another busy day & I need to begin getting ready for Philadelphia

Good news, td!

Laura · « **Reply #27 on:** August 01, 2009, 07:28:15 AM »

A woman at our church had a panic attack after a service once. Looked to all of us that it was a heart attack or something more serious.

Good morning!

It's been overcast today, and we may get more showers. The ground is too moist to attempt mowing.
