I went looking for a picture of a black squirrel (I have some shots of them packed away, drinking at the water fountain with me) and discovered that February is Black Squirrel History Month.

Occasionally we would see black squirrels in Michigan.

Ijust got off of a long telephonic conversation with cousins in Kansas. Wonderful way to wind down the evening.

There are three pieces in the fridge, c'mon over and try some.

Absolutely decadent and delectable.

Have fun in Toronto, Cillaliz. That's one of my favorite cities...love it there!

Suggestions?

Since you're preservation minded, you might like:

They filmed the Mckenzie brother's movie STRANGE BREW there!

Also, Second City is fun.

And they have a terrific symphony. You can get a cheap "rush" ticket at the last minute, @ $20 on the day of the concert. Get there early, they go on sale at 10AM. It's fun to get a seat behind the orchestra. I haven't seen their current conductor but used to go a lot when Andrew Davis was there.

The zoo is nice, too!

Food-wise, they have a GREAT big Chinatown, pretty much any place with dead stuff hanging in the windows is a good bet.

Our exec producer for the baseball film lives in Toronto so I'll check with him, although I suspect he goes to fancier restaurants than I do.

Another thing I like is that I've worked there at all hours and it always seems safe to be walking around at night. I could have a false sense of security, though.

The Distillery District is supposed to be pretty cool; I haven't been there since it was developed but hear good things about it.

Go shopping in Yorkville if you have too much money. And look for the little black squirrels in public parks. They keep their eyes peeled for people using the water fountains and then hop up and drink the rest of the water after you're done!

Thanks! I know we have receptions on Thurs, Fri and Sat night. One is at the CN tower, one at the hotel and one - I don't know where but the guest is the author Jon Krakauer. Casa Loma looks interesting. I am going to be going to the seminar during the day on Thurs and Fri, so not too much time to play. So the suggestions really help me to figure out what to do with the little time I will have

Since I don't have time to read both Into The Wild and Where Men Win Glory, the Jon Krakauer book about Pat Tillman, before I go, I watched the movie of Into the Wild tonight. Now I want to read the book. I think I'll like it better.

I read Under the Banner of Heaven a while back and am now reading Where Men Win Glory. It's already interesting and I just got started.

Well, spaghetti at the parents' house with the family and a friend of my mom's was quite fun. A bit of conversation went on before we all left. If I'd stayed at work until 8:15 pm (I have very flexible working hours), I would've worked all my hours for this week. Since I went to my parents' house, I'm going to go to work tomorrow (which is not really that unusual for me) for two and a half hours. But it's still going to be a long day tomorrow....

George · « **Reply #227 on:** August 06, 2010, 11:53:52 PM »

At 2:17 pm (yes, that specific time), I'm auditioning for the Olympia Audition League, where three local theater groups have one group audition. You select on-line which shows you want to be considered for, then you just have one audition in front of ALL the directors of ALL the shows. Talk about nerve-wracking! But one's nerves must be wracked if one is to be considered for a spot in a show...or three. I've put down that I want to be considered for the three musicals. Since TAO is remounting Cannibal! The Musical!, and I was in it the last time, I figure I've at least got a better than average chance at that.

And then tomorrow evening, I'm going to a going-away-party for a couple of friends of mine who are moving to NYC! They both have girlfriends (yes, they both really are straight) but I don't know if their girlfriends will be going to New York with them. I met the guys (I haven't met either of their girlfriends) doing the first production of Cannibal! The Musical!...now, they won't be around for the second version.

But good for them!

Back from a very long session for all the usual reasons - but I kept everything light and fun and while we really should have been out by ten or ten-thirty we were out by midnight so it wasn't too too bad. As I told the people from the theater, had I not been there it could and would have been much, much worse

Fun music, Alan Menken was there and we had a good time (and I showed him an app that he absolutely went bonkers over and couldn't stop playing with - he's already e-mailed it to his daughter). Alan's agent and my pal, Richard Kraft came by and that was a good thing. Raul Esparza was very nice, and the singers from the cast were quick and good - the band is really great. Director Rob Ashford was there, although in his own world with his own people, and Glenn Slater, the co-librettist and lyricist was there - first time we'd met and what a nice guy he is. We spoke fondly of dear reader FJL and his ever-lovin' Skip.

Now I must write the notes.
