I'm up - I would have slept later but the gas company knocked at the door and I had to open the gate so they could read the meter.

I usually play what I'm writing very close to the vest - in fact, I'm working on something now that's very interesting, sort of an interim project.  And I never talk about the actual process with anyone while I'm doing it, other than Muse Margaret and my occasional "I wrote eight pages today" sorts of posts.

Elmore, sorry to read about all that happened to Patricia Snyder. I know I covered some of the first waves of ugliness back in the late 1980s when I was up there. But I will never forget some of the school work that she did and her own part in tearing down the Iron Curtain. She worked with the Moscow Children's Theater back when that was a no-no and brought them to Albany. Their production of "Madame Butterfly" was spectacular.

I would like to write an anchovy cookbook. And I may do that one of these fine days after i finish my classes, although I already have one. Well, one titled "Olives, Anchovies, and Capers."

Sorry you didn't enjoy "Tangled" more, BK. I saw it in the theater with a group of little girls, granddaughters of a friend, and they squealed through much of it, which made it all the more fun for me. But I didn't care much for the songs, either.

Another good title for a book:  THE METER.

I watched TANGLED this past weekend and I admit that I enjoyed more than I expected to.

It really was mostly the lackluster and not well-used songs, and the occasional hip dialogue.

She worked with the Moscow Children's Theater back when that was a no-no and brought them to Albany. Their production of "Madame Butterfly" was spectacular.

It all began with an anonymous letter to the board and the state from someone - she believes she knows who it was - who was too cowardly to sign his/her name but the accusations, which the NYSTI board refused to believe given that the charges were unfounded, sure got the General Inspector of the governor's office into a four-year witch hunt. She suspects the writer was a troublemaking performer from Albany who acted occasionally in their productions. There's always one - sometimes it's a musician - on every production I've ever worked on.

The computer technician has come and gone. It was very quick because as it turns out, the part was already installed. The problem was, the person who put the frontspiece on forgot to remove the bit of hard plastic which exposes the card reader AND it could only be removed by opening the computer and removing the chassis. I'm still amazed that at the final check with (I assume) the packing slip in hand, someone didn't look at that covered slot and say "Oh, that should be open so the user can insert a memory card" But all is well. The technician was nice and laughed about the silliness and it didn't cost me anything.

Now we have to put the computer in the bedroom where it belongs. We first have to arrange the desk area because this computer is a different size (smaller) than the old computer and we will try to put it ON the desk, not in the desk. But that won't happen until Saturday most likely because I'm going to see Baby, It's You tonight (the story of the creation of the girl group The Shirelles. I'm home tomorrow but I don't want to do it after work. Thursday I'm seeing the new Donna Murphy musical The People in the Picture and Friday we are having dinner with friends. Saturday it will be (after a morning at the laundromat).

Sounds good DR BEN.  Maybe it was somebody's first (or last) day on the inspection line.

I am working on a play.

BUT if I could write a book....it would be a biography of Miss Allison Hayes, whose life off screen was AT LEAST as interesting as anything she did in the movies.

and of course I am in full support of you writing that Allison Hayes book, someday!!

I haven't seen it yet but I know my niece loves it and so do her friends. Maybe some animated movies are just more suited to little kids.
