Well, you've read the notes, the notes smelled and had fragrance, and now it is time for you to post until the smelly cows come home.

You'd think it was a Saturday morning at 7:15am or something.

I also love flowers.....roses can be overpowering, but they are beautiful.  I also like lilies and chrysanthemums.

What a topical topic - here is a bouquet that was sent to me on opening night by my friend Beth, who played Ruth in BLITHE SPIRIT.

I like to put flowers in pitchers sometimes, rather than vases.....sometimes.

DR JMK & DR DRUXY - I liked SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND quite a lot.....it reminded me of the movie 300 - so if that was something you liked, then you will like SPARTACUS.....it is entertaining....and of course it features some nice looking ladies and gentlemen - and XENA THE PRINCESS WARRIOR in an interesting role.

Friday night report:

Most excellent audience....we had only FIVE seats left in the theater!  FIVE!!!  And another standing ovation....two in a row!

So funny....lots of laughs.

Tim Good - the acting professor from DePauw who played Charles in BLITHE SPIRIT brought a class of students to see the show....20 of them.  God knows what they thought....Tim said "it will give us a lot to talk about....."  Whatever that means!

Good morning, all! I forgot that I am seeing COCO at the York today, so I'm reorganizing my morning schedule.
 I slept well, and I have no memories of any dreams. Last night I finished reading Carl Hiaasen's STAR ISLAND, which I liked very much. I have first editions of eight of his novels so I'm missing the first three, which I hope to correct in the near future. I finished the book wondering if this were the last; one of his recurrent characters has a memorable role in the new book and a rather elegiac conclusion. I lke to hope there will be more, equally funny and satisfying.

DR JRand60, I am happy last night went well. Perhaps your friend meant that the students had much to discuss between the nature of popular Broadway comedies of the 1960s and much of the dramatic literature written today? Then, again, perhaps they have much to discuss finding aprofessional performance on film - since I would guess tha's where they see most things - equivalent to your stunning turn?

DR Laura, I hope the drugged kitties are behaving today. Sandra, too.

It's been decades since I've seen NEVER TOO LATE (e/Andy Devine) on stage...or even the movie.

But, there's one line in that play that I've never forgotten.  I don't remember the exact wording, but the wife buys some lumber for the nursery from her husband's competitor because the prices were lower, and the husband replies, something like, "Hell, I would have given it to you at cost."



Funniest line in the play.

Irises are my favorite flower. Their various aromas are just intoxicating to me. Here's a photo of one around my parents' house. They have them in burgundy, white, several shades of blue, even a gorgeous black one. I can't grow them here in South Texas. I tried, but it frizzled in the heat last year.

I do have roses in the backyard, but I have neglected them this year.

Wasn't "orison" the word of the day a few months back? I seem to recall a few Orison Welles comments for some reason.

I have too much on my plate today. I'm helping a friend write her bio this morning, then off to Pilates, followed by a PowerPoint and wine class (wine facilitates the learning process) this evening followed by dinner with friends.

The kitties finally did quiet down, but this morning they are growling at each other again. So I guess there goes the chance that they might get adopted together.

In my yard blooming now I have lantana, red bird of paradise, bee brush (which smells like vanilla), desert senna, sacred datura, baja fairy duster, yerba mansa, yellow bells, chocolate flower, wooly butterfly bush, and some little yellow flower that came up as a weed. Most of these things draw butterflies.
