Hi all.  Mr. AC/Heating man is gone.   His name was Jimmy and it turned out that it was he that installed my AC/Heat. 

I never would have made it to work by 1:00 because it took him about 45 minutes to find/fix the problem and then we spent at least a half hour talking about Turner.

I found out that one of Turners Ex employees opened his own company (from the description it sounded like one of the guys Turner had working on my home) and he spotted Turner out and about working on someone elses house.  He turned him into the county.  Jimmy thought I had Turners license taken away last summer. 

Not so.  I had his permitting ability taken away from him last summer and that was only in this county.  He could have worked anyplace else in the state and been legal.  Working in this county was really stupid on his part.

Of course the point is now moot since as of 17th of this month Turner WILL lose his license because he didn't pay his $25,000 fine and the money he was ordered refund me from the Florida Dept of Business and Professional Regulation. 

I found out I have a five year warranty on the unit but (of course) the part that went wrong today wasn't covered.  It was the Fuse Link.  I know not fuse links from linked sausage but the entire price came to $110.00.  $75 to show up at the door and $35 for the part.

Anyway the dogs and I have HEAT!  Hoo and Ray!!!!

There's a sidebar in this morning's paper about the girl star of the new TRUE GRIT dissolving into tears on the Paramount lot when GLEE's Lea Michele refused to sign an autograph for her.

Well, that was pretty rude of Lea Michele.

The thing is that it is blowing cold air even when you have the heat setting on.

Do you have the fan set to "on" or "auto"

Ron, if you think AmEx works the same way as MC or Vis(t)a, I have some shopping I'd like you to do for me.  :)

A card is a card is a card.  Only the numbers are different.  In terms of "usage", that is.

Oh...and way to buzz kill a perfectly pleasant bit of fun I was having.

Well, I beg to differ.  If you charge 30K on a MC or Vis(t)a, you can make a minimum payment.  On AmEx, you're in for the whole megillah.

AmEx has a card that you don't have to pay in full, I can't remember the name of it

Auto.  Isn't that best? 

I remember when I first got an Am EX  card that I could buy a house if I wanted to.  But when the bill came in I would have pay it in full!

Don't you just love warranties?  I knew before he told me that whatever the part was that had to be replaced wouldn't be covered.  Just like a car.  You can have a full warranty but that one little part that goes out won't be the one on the list.

Well, that was pretty rude of Lea Michele. 

Michele was en route to somewhere on the lot.  The unknown actress was in audition clothes and approached her.  Michele passed her by, and a guy behind Michele said to the teen, "Now's not a good time." 

I imagine Michele might have been stressing or hurrying or steaming over something...and the guy was there to smooth things out. 

Rude?  She didn't flip the girl off or curse her.   Understandable? Yep. Just because an actor isn't on a sound stage doesn't mean it's cool to approach him or her on a lot.  Something Michele might wish hadn't happened?  Sure.

The first read through of The Absilutely True Adventures of A Hollywood Assistant went well yesterday. Fine tuning ahead (Rewrite rewrite rewrite) Major change: Dropped one scene which was a monologue which doesn't work now that it is no longer one actor playing all the roles.

Congrats on the read-through, Michael!  Broken legs for future work!

My first "awareness" of Sondheim, Stephen Sondheim came in the mid- to late-60s with "A Funny Thing Happened...." the movie musical.   I knew his name, but not his music.

I had my first taste of his composing credits with "Follies"...and then immersed myself repeatedly in "A Little Night Music."

My first Sondheim experience was the movie version of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.  My sister and I would watch it on TV when we were kids and we loved it.  We had no idea who Stephen Sondheim was.  When I was in high school and finally did discover who he was, it wasn't until I started researching what shows he had written that I realized that he had written that movie that my sister and I used to love to watch.

My absolute favorite Sondheim song is "Someone In a Tree."  I can still get goose bumps when I hear it.  Next most absolute favorite is probably "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow/Love Will See Us Through."

I can't remember which was the first Sondheim stage show that I actually saw, but the only Sondheim show that I've been in (so far) is ...Forum.

Back from a wonderful lunch at the Westlake Village Brent's Deli.  THAT'S a deli - great pastrami sandwich.  Good meeting with Wechter, did my banking and picked up one package and no mail.  I suppose I'll try to write another three or four pages now - this evening the helper's best friend is coming over after she gets off work to pack up some orders and get them shipped.

Good morning, all! I slept well, although I must have been possessed by the spirit of Cole Porter last ight. I dreamed I was composing "Just One Of Those Things" for Janet Leigh! Oy.

I have to tidy the apartment this morning, pack a few articles of clothing, and determine my travel reading. Around 10:30 I will head down to Penn Station. I hope the trains are on schedule today and I hope tomorrow's meeting goes well.

I have little else to report. I believe I saw the films of GYPSY and WEST SIDE STORY long before I ever knew who Stephen Sondheim was. I discovered A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM through my Latin class, in which we were translating Plautus' comedy MILES GLORIOSUS around 1966. My wonderful Latin teacher Robert Kane was a native New Yorker who'd seen every musical on Broadway and we listened to the cast recordings of FORUM and THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE during the semester of Plautus.

I should really by the Broadway recording of Cole Porters "Anthing Goes"

Really starting to get a lot of group emails from Jewish groups about Giffords now.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a civil action against some of the rabble rousers who consider themselves above the fray.

TOD:

I like Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music, Follies, and Sunday in the Park with George

The first theatrical one I saw was Follies

My favorite Sondheim song when I was younger was "Send in the Clowns" from A Little Night Music

They actually had a glut of veggie stuff.  Lots of quinoa dishes, including an incredible lemon quinoa thing I loved, plus a spinach frittata and Betsy brought her patented tabouli.

Sounds good!  I had neighbors when I lived at the lake who had a game feed every year.  They ate everything they hunted and shared it with the neighborhood.  Lots of good food
