This is probably my new partner for next year's Putnam County Dancing With the Stars.  I could do worse.

Good morning, all! This morning I have to go to Music Theatre International and look over the new orchestra materials for THE MOST HAPPY FELLA so i can sign off on the project and the talented copyist Ben can be released from bondage. Before I go this morning, I have to address 10 priority mail packages and send off the chorus music for the Herbert recording.

Last night I dreamed I was waiting to go somewhere with sveral musicians including a Broadway orchestrator whose work and attitude I greatly dislike. Since it was my dream, he was a total oaf with next to no knowledge of serious music. There was also an airport in this dream, if it matters.

I was sure THE CLOSER would pick up on the gang-related story of two weeks ago, and it didn't. I then watched RIZZOLI AND ISLES, which seems to be stepping into BONES territory with criminal parents and abandoned children, and then I watched the desperate housewives of New Jersey behave badly. I slept fitfully, thanks to the Oaf Above me and his current lady friend; one of them needed to step out around 2 am. Maybe they're not drug dealers or terrorists but vampires.

Hmmmmm. A lot of banging, thumping and stomping about from my upstairs neighbor. I wonder if he's preparing to head to Toronto for Rosh Hoshanah? It will be nice to have quiet for a few days.

TOD:

Certainly I saw some of them, but I was never a big fan of big adventure movies when I was a kid.

Actually, the movie that I enjoyed and remembered the most was a Western, BROKEN ARROW w/Jimmy Stewart.

That one has always stayed with me and is still one of my favorite Westerns.

It is the first day of school, and I'm a little concerned for Zach, who is not only starting middle school, but is in a new school to boot.  Plus as I think I reported, the idiots sent the invitation to the orientation day to our old address, so he missed the chance to meet any new kids, plus his block teacher informed me (via message delivered via another teacher) she was simply "too busy" to take 30 seconds out of her day to meet me and Zach.  So I am hoping everything goes OK for him today.

Had to have some Cole Porter this morning, so I've got "Leave It to Me!" blasting out of the speakers. Love this score, even if the recording from 42nd St. Moon has only a small band instead of a full orchestra. His "Tomorrow" is like musical caffeine to me, and "Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love" always makes me smile.

Here is my "I still can't believe this" moment from a couple of days ago.  DW Wife Betsy and I were channel surfing and despite my mad attempts to scramble past ABC Family, she noticed "The Sound of Music" was on, and so our viewing "choice" was instantly set.  Betsy has seen this movie probably no fewer than 500 times (I am not exaggerating).  As we were watching, I suddenly heard Max call Baron von Trapp by his first name, and I didn't immediately catch it, nor did I remember what it was.  I asked DW Wife Betsy what von Trapp's first name was, and she replied (and I am not making this up--spelled phonetically for maximum impact):  GAYOG.  "Gayog?"  I replied incredulously.  "Do you mean Georg?"   We both dissolved into helpless laughter.  I told her Gayog sounded like a homosexual caveman.

I dunno, Jack....that one has become quite "THE" star on the internet.  He (or she?) may want money to participate!

Perhaps she'll remember it more easily if she watches the film 500 more times!!!   I know...she can watch it on Blu-ray!!!!!

Perhaps he was performing a ritual....something to summon a Golem, perhaps...to take care of his complaining downstairs neighbor!

If you see one of these walking toward you, Larry.....RUN!!!

DR Cillaliz, nice pics of the dishes.

Reading your post about losing weight reminded me about exercising in the winter.  There are like 4 months for sure when I will not be able to exercise outside. And I"m starting to freak out. Yesterday was raining and I could not bike. And I realized how much I hate indoor excercising.

Since my back is still not 100% I'm having a hard time hooping. I started doing it again a few days ago. And I can hip hoop. But I still can't hoop around my waist for more than 5 minutes at a time (it makes my back sore).

I guess I could try to do 2 X 10 minutes of hooping a day. And once a week I"m going to try to go swimming.  I used to sometimes read a book on my exercise bike (which was the only way i could tolerate it).  Maybe i could handle 5 minutes a day.

Does anybody have any good indoor exercises?
