Well, you've read the notes, the notes were celebratory, and now it is time for you to post until the celebratory cows come home.

A Very Happy Father's Day to All the Fathers and Fathers-by-Proxy!!

Today is probably going to be a long day for me. I have to work concessions for a local dance studio's recital, but if I get done early enough, I need to take my niece to a Seattle Storm basketball game. Larry, her mother's boyfriend is supposed to take her, but he has a bad back and really can't drive. My sister will take her, if I can't.

Sounds like "Edge of Darkness" was another "State of Play," which was a great mini-series and a mumble of a movie despite a great cast.

Happiest of Father's Days to those HHW'ers who are.

DR CP - unfortunately it was a night "off book" they were using their books from start to finish.

The television version I am watching is one with Noel Coward, Claudette Colbert, Lauren Bacall, and Mildred Natwick......some CBS special thing broadcast in color, but the kinescope is in B/W. Coward cut the play down to two hours including commercials, so I took some of the cuts he made.

Here's an interesting question: What am I doing up at six in the morning?

Funny, BK, I was just thinking the same thing!

Good morning, all! Last night I was feeling quite unhealthy, so I decided to sleep in today and drive away whatever bug was threatening my equilibrium. All was fine until the dog above me began barking about 8:45 this morning. So, I am up and so much for sleeping late.

I do feel better than yesterday. I'll have some chicken broth for lunch.

I've got Victor Herbert and the Wizard to deal with today, but I am taking it easy and not doing too much.

So, I've been getting little missive e-mails from the makers of The Ghastly Love of Johnny X, this film for which I did a little cameo oh about six years ago. I figured I was on some ancient list because no one has called me about this movie in two years, I think. So, this morning I get a call sheet for tomorrow - I'm about to e-mail back to take me off the list when I actually look at the call sheet and see my name! I guess they thought we were all just going to show up without being called first about availability (I have no idea what the other missives were, since I just assumed they weren't for me because I hadn't heard anything), or just called as a courtesy. So, I just wrote the AD back and said sorry, not available tomorrow. And I'm fairly sure that nothing about me today would match what we shot six years ago, when my hair was longer and blonder, and I was probably a little heavier than I am now, or vice versa.

I am really sleepy. I never wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. But that is what happened last night. And for some reason I don't do well on little sleep.

I need to go to the library. But unfortunately they are on their summer hours now (which i don't really like). They are only open from 1-5pm on the weekends.

It was a a British mini-series, and a pretty good one.

These days, I try to avoid Mel Gibson movies.

The people who own the cabin just through the trees, over there, came up to do a bit of work on their house - they invited me for dinner last night. Yes, the raccoons followed me over there. No, I had no leftovers for them - but they escorted me back to my house at about 10 pm - and yes, I put some kibbles out for them. Oy...

So, here's some good news for LA folks:

Steven Sater's play, New York Animals (Sater is a Tony-winning scribe of musical work), gets its World Premiere at Rogue Machine Theatre - first preview this week. Yes - that's the theatre I work for/at/with. The show stars Caroline Aaron - yes, she of the Woody Allen flicks and multiple Broadway plays (and Love, Loss, and What I Wore) - and my boss, the lovely and talented John Perrin Flynn is directing.

I was meant to fly down to work front-of-house - but expenses of Running Water In The House have depleted my stash of dollars this month...

Still, if some of yiz go see it, lemme know your thoughts -

I had to change the roll of toilet paper AND the paper towels all in one morning.

I need a nap.
