Jane it also dawned on me that you have been married for 42 years and I haven't been married for 42 on this day too.

I have been gathering items from our basement to donate to the AAUW garage sale. Several of them were wedding presents...

Regifting, huh? I can't remember now if I gave you two anything or not, so I won't worry that I'm the patsy.

I have watched the first 15 minutes of FRANKLIN & BASH with two of my favorite actors, Malcolm McDowell and Breckin Meyer, and I'm giving it a thumbs up. So far.

T.O.D.

Ask BK Day:

This week, it seems like every time I turn on the Broadway Channel on Sirius XM I hear the song, "Always True to You in My Fashion." There is one verse regarding how going out on Clark Gable's boat could result in a sable coat. I am curious whether a songwriter, even someone as famous as Cole Porter; has to get permission to use a famous someone's name before it appears in a Broadway show.

Happy Anniversary to DR Jane and Keith!

There's an almost identical picture of me feeding cake to Richard in our wedding album. We also took the "no smashing" pledge beforehand!

Thanks. I really don't understand why anyone thinks it is funny. You can't easily clean up before the next photo.

AND it's a waste of perfectly good cake!

I have just received a package from Amazon.com, containing some items that I had ordered.

The original Broadway cast recording of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Ricky Ian Gordon's Green Sneakers and on BK's recommendation, The Illusionist (I loved The Triplets of Belleville)!

Just had to share.

Mr Gordon: now there's a piece of work!

MORE stories for the memoirs??

Good Evening!

Well... No tornados here in New York City... Alas, there were some deadly ones in Massachusetts... $:-\$

...And when I headed out earlier, there was a major delay on the 4/5/6 trains due to "an earlier incident". Alas, it turned out that a woman fainted on the platform (most likely overcome by the heat), and fell onto the tracks just as a train was coming into the station... $:-\$

I really have no idea if we're having an audience tonight or not. We have five in my party, and three in the thirteen-year-old's party and that's honestly all I'm aware of. But I've grown weary of trying to get people off their ASSES - we've had very loyal folks come to most of these, but I have a whole slew of people I know who've not come to one single show. That's just wacky to me. And a few of our loyal regulars couldn't come tonight. So, any of our West Coasters reading this, pick up the phone, make a reservation, and come on down.

I suspect you will have a better hose than you suspect.

Ahhhhhhhhhh, no comment.

In other news...

I checked in with my parents earlier to see if anything was planned for my Mom's birthday this weekend. It turns out they're in Delaware this week at a friend's timeshare. They will be back in Richmond on Friday, but they'll be volunteering once again at the Richmond Filipino Festival on Friday night and Saturday morning. I checked in with my brothers to see if they had planned anything, and, right now, they haven't planned anything either. In either case, I'll be heading down to Fairfax Friday morning.

I have received word that my Aunt Jo has been taken to our local hospital because she has pneumonia. My mother suspected as much 10 days ago. My cousin who lives in Georgia emailed me and asked that I check on her tomorrow, which I will do. Prayers and vibes would be appreciated.

There is one verse regarding how going out on Clark Gable's boat could result in a sable coat. I am curious whether a songwriter, even someone as famous as Cole Porter; has to get permission to use a famous someone's name before it appears in a Broadway show.

I doubt it since Porter used a ton of celebrity names in "You're the Top," and I can think of the following: "Let's not Talk about Love" begins with:
"Let's speak of LaMarr, that Hedy so fair
Why does she let joan Bennett wear all her old hair?"

"Farming" includes:
"Now don't inquire of Georgie Raft
Why his cow has never calfed
Georgie's bull is beautiful but he's gay."

and
"The natives think it's utterly utter
When Margie Hart starts churning her butter"

or
"Miss Elsa Maxwell, so the folks tattle
Got well goosed while dehorning her cattle"

I can't imagine that just mentioning a person's name would require their permission. Using their image requires permission, but not just saying a name...anyone could have that name.

Just my 2¢.
