In other news...

I had initially planned to head up to NYC tomorrow morning (and then back on Tuesday morning), but I think I'm just going to stay put and enjoy another full day of rest and relaxation here in the DC-area. *I also haven't seen John Michael, Alyssa or Emily since I started back down here, and I really should remedy that situation sooner rather than later.

I shall take your information under advisement DR ELMORE.

When I was a grad student in 1970, Judy Collins performed at Miami University and I was really excited to see her because I loved her recordings. It was a very fraught performance: she seemed unhappy, not very communicative with the audience, and left the stage with no encores. For a long time I thought her the rudest performer I'd ever been unlucky to see. A friend of mine from school worked for her as a seamstress sometime between 1972 and 1976 and said she was a total bitch to work for.

Sometime in the mid to late 1990s, Jonathan Tunick. who had scored several numbers for her, refudiated this. I had read about her son Clark's suicide and I started reading things she'd written. She wrote honestly about all of her marital problems, custody fights, and general misery in the late 1960s and 1970s: getting neurotic and paranoid, going through panic attacks and cancelling performances, and, when I finally met her around 2003, I found her a very kind lady, shy and gracious, and I forgave her for that concert. I'll never know what was going through her life in May 1970, so I guess I'm grateful for the time she gave that audience, and I wish her well.

I cannot reveal the things I know from Goodspeed, 1989. I'm keeping them for the memoirs.

And Miss Clark and Miss Collins are nowhere in the same class.

I was wondering that myself.

Good morning. I"m pooped out! It really was a great time last night and was worth all the work, but my back hurts and my feet hurt and I'm sleepy. I'm really glad that we did the clean up last night. I have things to put away, but if I don't do it right now, it really doesn't matter. Paul is going to come over today and get some of the left over beer. There's quite a bit here and I never drink it sitting here myself. I got an email about the owner of the bowl I had no idea about and the "friend" who was very well behaved has offered to come over and deliver the dishes left here to their respective owners. One less thing to worry about

This was one of the hit recipes of the party. The person who brought it just shared it with all of us so I thought I'd pass it on

CURRIED CHICKEN PATE

1 ½ Cups chopped cooked chicken
1 Stick butter, cut into bits
½ Medium Delicious Apple, peeled
1 Shallot, coarsely chopped
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp salt
½ tsp curry powder
Freshly ground pepper
In a food processor, combine chicken, butter, apple, shallot, lemon juice, salt, curry powder, and pepper. Puree until smooth.
Pack mixture into a serving crock. If made in advance, cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.

BK, there was an interested response to my inquiry, but a fear that possible FOLLIES rehearsals could be a problem. I gave them your emal address.

Thank you one and all for the vibes and prayers for yesterday's test. Great strides have been made since the coffin like machine I was in ten years ago. This time I was like a hamurger patty and they slid me into this giant hamburger bun. It was pretty close quarters, but I could see out the sides of the bun and even look out a window. This pill I took did its duty, and I almost fell asleep during the test.

HHW Vibes are magical!

Glenn and I had dinner at a restaurant at Albert Dock. It took forever to be served and the food was just passable. Glenn ordered garlic bread. I don't particularly like garlic and at first turned down his offer to try some. He told me there was very little garlic, so I tried some-it was very good bread but hardly any garlic at all.

So then it was time for the concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. It was conducted byJohn Wilson, who's considered a young genius here (I think he's about 38 yrs old). Maybe some of the HHWs have head of him? He also conducts the "Proms" sometimes.

The show was a tribute to Lerner and Loewe and starred Anthony Andrews of Brideshead Revisited fame (and he played the prime minister in The King's Speech); Annalene Beechey, who starred in a touring production of My Fair Lady with Mr Andrews; Kim Criswell and our own Mr. Barrett.

Mr. Barrett! You must have been shocked!
