Home again! No check again. This asshole running the finances of the foundation in Philadelphia continues to work my last nerve, and I am not amused.


He must also work for the IRS.

That reminds me. Sunday I asked the church treasurer about the W2 for taxes, and she didn't know what I was talking about.

I don't have to be the psychic Miss Cleo to tell you I see a large tax payment in your future!

Seventy-three hours into the movie "Star" and Richard Crenna arrives. That must mean a few more days to go before this one ends. Or does it ever end? It hasn't really started yet. Well, nothing terribly interesting.

They totally ignore Gertrude's affair with Daphne duMaurier or her early attempts to get into Noel's pants, as well as Richard Aldrich's sexuality. That might have spiced the movie up!
It might have. So might a script, a director, a choreographer and a costume designer.

"The Saga of Jenny" is the nadir for me; it looks nothing like LADY IN THE DARK. I did like some of the numbers although I've really repressed most of the film. I remember I liked it better than FUNNY GIRL and HELLO DOLLY!
I liked abdominal surgery better than the kidney stone.

Well, I must be leaving.  I'm working for concessions (not ushering...darn) for the national touring company of A Chorus Line!  I'm sure that it'll be fabulous!



Be back later with a report!

Why don't they remake "A Chorus Line" and make it better, instead of remaking a classic and making it worse?

Actually that looks more like the "jaundice" production.

Can you imagine all those poor people who have only seen the move version of A CHORUS LINE?  They must be wondering what all the fuss was about.

Other than the fact that it's in the campus of General Theological Seminary on 21st Street in very West Chelsea, no I don't know much about it.

Are you planning a trip to NY and thinking of staying there?

I guess I do try to increase the number of posts each day, but it would appear that I also tend to drive eveyone away from the site until after I have gone to bed.

Probably not a great trade-off.

Well, I am always thinking of a New York trip, Ben.  They sent me an e-mail with rates at $135.00 per night, but once I started checking, I couldn't find any nights that were actually at that price (unless I could get there today).

I ordered ANGLE OF REPOSE from the library & it has already been shipped, except I don't want to read it yet.  I had planned to read this as a possible pick for my next book.  Today the woman hosting the June gathering said it is her favorite book & I suggested she take it.  Over the weekend I gave a gem of a book, THE CELLIST OF SARAJEVO, to the person who needed to make a decision for March and she loved it.  Now I need to continue my search.  I only have seven months to make a decision.

If only we didn't have the paperback rule I think I would go with UNBROKEN.  I put that on my library queue & there are only 70 people ahead of me.  By the time it is available it just might be out in paperback.

Why do you have a paperback rule? Do most people buy the books and not take them out from the library?  Or does everybody live so close to each other in your group that they would all be from the same library!

We all use the same library system.  Our town has a number of used book store.  The main book store gives us a 25% discount on any discussion book we purchase & books can be ordered on-line at good prices.  It was suggested today we drop the paperback rule & one person protested.  I agreed along with only one other person.  We have broken the rule to or three times in all the years I've been in the group.  We also share as someone is always asking to borrow from others.

A good number of times a book was chose only to realize later it wasn't out in paperback yet.

With my former book club, the rule was that the library had to have the correct number of copies available. though at least one member bought hers each time.

We have anywhere between 12 & 14 members at a time.  How many were in your group?

Had a good work session with The Singer, then grabbed some eggs and a bagel.  Then we began training the new helper - she's very fast and actually did some orders today, so that's good.  Then I had a lovely rehearsal with Linda and Greg and the show is just terrific.  I'm still trying to see about going to Florida but it's coming up so quickly I just don't know.
