I'll be heading back to Manhattan sometime today.

We had a nice, relaxing time away from the city. It rained most of yesterday but it's sunny right now.

:)  Have a nice trip home.

In between services.  Arrived early this morning to a phone call from the minister's wife informing me that the minister's father died early this morning.  He had been in for hip replacement surgery last Wednesday but had made it through that all right.  That said, he had a bad heart and I believe he was in his late 80s.  So the minister is not here today and we are punting on Easter.

Vibes of comfort for the minister and his family.

I have a question for anyone.

What do you consider the best film version of TALE OF TWO CITIES?

Ha! Ha!  It this because you are trying to be funny or because you don't like a TALE OF TWO CITIES? ;)

DR JANE - my favorite version is the 1958 Dirk Bogarde film.

I put the Ronald Coleman one on NetFlix for Craig to watch.  It is the one I remember most.  I'm not sure if I have seen the Bogarde one.  Is it the over all movie or the actor you prefer?

Just spent a lot of time talking to an online columnist named Jeffrey Wells.  Robert Harris suggested he call me to talk about 70mm films and restoration and stuff.  I hope he doesn't make me sound like an idiot or jerk, but I was pretty honest and forthright about my opinions.

Greetings from Grand Blanc, Michigan!  I had a smooth drive from Lima, except for a construction back-up about 30 minutes from here.  My sister and I have been visiting and now she's fixing ham and scalloped potatoes for our dinner.

And what a brunch it was!

Deviled Eggs topped with Fried Oysters and Fried Shrimp (3 of each)
Oysters Shooters -And they were quite strong today!
Breakfast Tacos
Hash Browns
Oyster Po' Boy
"Surfer's" Sangria
Plus a sneak-peek of Ditch Plains' new Frozen Mojito.

Needless to say, as we walked back across the park after brunch, I was very tempted to sit down on a bench and take a nap in the sun. -Yes, the sun came out today! :)

Good morning, all! I slept late. After turning off the tv, I read a bit more of Norman Lloyd's biography, It's quite good so far, although I think his comments on THE GOLDEN APPLE (he drected the 1954 Phoenix Theatre production) may prove he was the wrong man for the job. His early chapters on working with Eva LeGallienne, John Houseman, the Mercury Thesatre, etc. are qite wonderful.

Now to be controversial: I really hate Easter, which I know is the Big Day in my religion's calendar. I find it a theological nightmare whose logic makrs no sense, and one more example of the human race's ability to invent grisly and horrible deaths for its enemies. I can appreciate a good miracle like rising from the dead, but by the time it happens to Jesus, Lazarus got there first, and I cannot understand logically how this is supposed to help me in the long run. I, of course, blame the Catholic Church for imposing a lot of hocus pocus on the situation around 800 years ago.

In my family, Easter was also a day of hypocricy: it was the One Day a year everyone in my family - that is, my entire Mother's family, all seven siblings, spouses, and their children - went to church, whether they needed to confront organized religion or not. My brothers and I all got a new yearly suit, and there was a huge family dinner, the best part of the day. The second best part of the holiday was coloring Easter eggs, several dozen hardboiled eggs, the night before. This meant a week of too many eggs at breakfast, lunch and dinner followed by sulphurous gas attacks. Today, I will have dinner with one of my nuclear family, my good friend Bruce Pomahac. I do miss the family gatherings. I miss many of my dead uncles, aunts, and cousins, not to mention my maternal grandmother.

My biggest disappointment of THE FANTASTICKS is that we did not get a good soundtrack recording of the score with Jonathan's beautiful orchestrations. I was up for the job, and I remember submitting a demo cassette of bits of the 110 IN THE SHADE songs and, I think, some of COLETTE COLLAGE.. While I would have loved to have done the movie, I must admit that I had a hard time hearing any sounds but the wonderful Off-Broadway piano and harp, and I know they got the right person for the job.

More coffee.

Well, you don't think I was watching it for my health, do you? :)  I shan't be coy - I'm pulling the tapes - if it's all on twenty-four track needing a mix, I won't go near it.  However, if they have a mixdown to four tracks, which they may have done for the film's actual mix, then I will make it happen.

What a pleasant surprise, if it's possible!

We went for a short walk earlier which turned into an extra short walk as it began to rain.  Craig just came home and said it is nice out out.  We will be heading back out again for another sort walk, if only Keith had said something before I had a glass of Glenlivet. ;D

We'll, I'm heading out to my parents' house.  I need to get some things at the store for my niece.   She's not feeling well and won't be going.  I don't know how long we'll be there, but I plan to watch yesterday's episode of "Doctor Who" when I get home tonight.  I can't wait!

Have a good rest of the day, all!

I could never understand why anyone would try to make a film of THE FANTASTICKS.  Possibly filming the Off-Broadway version, live, might have worked; but not a regular down and dirty film musical - No Way![

Easter was always an important holiday in my family.  Church followed by a big family dinner.  We weren't a very big family.  It was my mother, my grandmother, my sister, me, and always my Aunt Ruth (my Mom's sister) and her roommate.  It is sometimes hard to believe that my sister and I were raised in the same family.  Where I remember these warm and fuzzy holiday gatherings; she remembers them as these agonizingly boring Sundays that she was forced to tolerate.
