Hiya, kidz, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I've been busy and a half - working at the theater and the ballet - got some very good news yesterday, about a large grant I wrote for said ballet... It's true, it's true: everything IS beautiful at the ballet...

Friday started our extended run of the LA premiere of Cormac McCarthy's SUNSET LIMITED at Rogue Machine Theatre, after a 2-week hiatus. Still filling the house. Wow, what a good show - I'm still so proud to be a part of that org!!! Just sent in another large grant request for them, too...

Family 'stuff' continues apace. Not something to discuss here...

Well, off I go to my weekly gig at rehab! Still love that job.

(Oh! forgot to say: I found out in a company newsletter that the LA premiere of my show happens in May at Rogue Machine! Whaddaya know!)

love hugs kisses

Fantastic news about the grant!!!!!

Funny way to find out about your show. I'm sorry we won't be able to go to L.A. in May.

In other news...

After we leave Dominica in a few hours, then it's three days at sea before we arrive back in New York City. I've been having a very good time, but although the sense of "escape" has been nice, I am looking forward to being back in the City. It's a truly isolated lifestyle on board. Maybe just a touch too isolated for me. Of course, that hasn't stopped from enjoying some of the incredible food on board. Thankfully, not all of it has been incredible.

-But the still-warms scones they serve at afternoon tea... Yummy!

Watching the David Lean "Great Expectations" this afternoon. Great look, wonderful feel, even if the beginning is a little like a Cliffs Notes version of the novel.

DR Jose, the trip sounds wonderful. Wish I had stowed away.

Really looking forward to the NYC show in the Allen Room at Lincoln Center - behind the stage is a huge wall of windows, looking out on Columbus Circle.

Is this the room?

It is nice to have you posting again.

And speaking of deck chairs...

I need to get ready to head back to the ship.

Once again, I hope everyone is doing well, and ~~~~~VIBES~~~~~ of any and all sorts to those who need them, or just think they may need them.

I'll be back sometime on the 13th.

Laters...

Just read the NYT obit of Jill Haworth. I really appreciate the way that Hal Prince has supported her performance over the years, especially after the critics' failure to get it.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from a smooth trip to and from Lima. It was ver-r-r-ry cold when we left home at 7:15am.

Hello!

I went to see Little Fockers, finally. As a fan of Ms. Streisand, I couldn't not go even with the terrible reviews! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, though I have to say there weren't too many laughs in the crowd of about 25 people at a 10:45 am showing.

Love the Allen Room! I saw a tribute to lyricist David Zippel there a few years ago. Among the performers: HHW's own Jason Graae & Brent Barrett and a young Sierra Boggess, who's had quite a career since, starring in Phantom in Las Vegas, The Little Mermaid on Broadway and currently Love Never Dies on the West End.

Yes, that's the room. I am aware that "Blackbird" went out on a Concord promo sampler. The entire album is great, however, they re-sequenced a bit from the advance CD to the final version. It is definitely a better flow!

On January 1st a new over the air station began broadcasting. It's called Antenna TV and it's a mix of cheesy movies, 3 Stooges, Benny Hill and late 50s, 60s, 70s and some 80s sitcoms. Right now they are showing the pilot episode of Here Come the Brides.

They are also showing, relatively in order, the Partridge Family. We have to look out for Bruce's episodes.

According to IMDb, BK's episodes are:

- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Partridge (1971) TV episode .... Freddy
- The Partridge Papers (1972) TV episode .... Marvin
- You're Only Young Twice (1972) TV episode .... Richard
- Me and My Shadow (1973) TV episode .... Delbert
- The Last of Howard (1973) TV episode .... Howard

The laundry is in the dryers, the bathroom is mopped, and the bed is made.

When I was in Ohio last month, the lady who's taking my collection of papers into the Rare Books and Manuscripts division asked me to begin a list of Friends and acquaintances for reference to corrspondence, etc.
So, this morning I've been adding names and comments to my lists.

Doing that will further enhance and add additional provenance to the material.

Good morning all!

I finished the laundry, got gas for Bonny, food for the dogs and then for me and still forgot to stop off at the local CVS to pick up a prescription refill for my BP. Guess I'll have to make a quick run over to get that.

I also started my job hunt on-line. There really isn't anything out there in my price range and I know it will take some time to find something that I feel will make me happy. Now that I've made the decision to move on, I feel better.

I had a weird dream last night about---vampires. I haven't read or seen any movie about them so it was strange that they would pop up. They were good vampires. A family or group of friends if I remember correctly.

I can't wait to get the heating back on line. I know 58 doesn't seem very cold to some of you but that is the temp in my living room as I type this. I have a small space heater on but considering all the fires that our area has had from people using them, I really don't like using it. I won't leave it on when I pop over to get my prescription sometime this afternoon. Hopefully it will be warmer by then.

I'm going to try to make a knock off recipe for Olive Gardens Chicken and Gnocchi soup for dinner tonight. I think that a good hot bowl of soup will help to warm me up.

I delayed going out yesterday because two of my all time favorite movies were on--Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride II. They are both a two hankie type of movie. I lose it every time.

Not much else going on so laters all!

Good luck to you Danise! I send many positive vibes and thoughts

haven't been able to warm up today, even with the heater kicking in occasionally. Ugh. Thankfully, I'm headed out to dinner. Maybe my friends' house will be warm.

Listening to "Last Starfighter" now. Enjoying it thoroughly.
