Well, you've read the notes, the notes wailed and were august, and now it is time for you to post until the wailing cows come home.

I wish you hadn't mentioned "Hamlet" in the notes. I'll be humming that all day today. I hope the people I work with don't tape my mouth shut.

Good morning, all! I've been dealing with email tsuris this morning for the past two hours: completing the email to the head of the Institute, dealing with a chorus sending unauthorized pdf files of my choral arrangements, and sending my end-of-the-month invoice.

Today, I have little planned except for dinner tonight with my friend Bruce Pomahac, but I have personal work here. My apartment is a total disaster at the moment, and I think that will occupy most of my day. I will call my beloved goddaughter Charlotte about a movie tomorrow or over the weekend.

Wednesday morning greetings! Looks like it's going to rain here in SW Ohio - a perfect day to stay home and pack for a festive Labor Day weekend in Michigan.

Yes there is rain here today headed for you DR GINNY....but so far just a light misting.

Last day of August vibes for everyone.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2011, 07:27:22 AM »

DR GEORGE you must have been reading my mind when I wrote my post yesterday....it is sort of a funeral. I do not like being in this production.....I have only about 12 lines.....nothing really funny.....and I am only there because the director asked me to do it.

He has THREE other people in the show that were in CAMELOT, so I could have been offered one of those funnier roles, especially since two of them are definitely NOT comic in any way.

And an especially annoying person joined the crew last night - one I hoped I had escaped.....oh well. Two more weeks after this week and the funeral....I mean show....will be OVER.....as will the season.

I am paying $65 a week in gasoline to drive to the theatre for NOTHING.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 31, 2011, 07:29:13 AM »

And it doesn't help that the director is completely wrong-headed. I stopped making suggestions.....his reasons for not accepting them are as dumb as his reasons for doing things the way he is....so I give up.

It IS a funny play.....but it could be hilarious.....it was the LAST TIME we did it, when I had a bigger part. I don't even get me started on the "improvements" he has made in the script.

I'm up and will have to be jogging in thirty minutes. I was having such interesting dreams until the alarm went off.

MY BK has a busy day.....he'd better get started.

Jogging in nine minutes? I'm not sure about that just yet.

DR Jane, I was shocked but my mom did not know who Nancy Grace was either. She has a show on HLN (thanks to DR RonP) and if you watch CNN maybe you would have seen her. She is on the View sometimes. She talks about legal cases and is very vocal.

When you say who these people are they I know them all. One name i did not know was Hope Solo. But if you tell me that she is the goalie for the US team then I know her. And if you say Elisabetta is George Clooney's former girlfriend then i know her too.

There are a few pairings i find very odd/surprising. Ricki Lake and Derek Hough are one. And Rob Kardashian and Cheryl is another.

I prefer when the pros i like are paired with celebs i like.

So far the pairing i like best is Mark and Kristin. But it totally depends on how everyone dances.

I"m mad that they added 2 new male pros and Dmitry is out this season.

My niece started grade one today. She is has her best friend from kindgarten in her class. And 2 other girls she was friendly with from her class. Plus one of her soccer friends. And she supposedly has the best teacher (there are 5 classes for grade 1).

It is very complicated for them to put the 5 kindergarten classes and make them into 5 new grade one classes. Usually each class gets 2 girls and 2 boys from their kindergarten class. But 2 of my nieces other best friends both got no girls from their previous class. And one of the moms was quite upset about it.

I don't blame her. My niece's class had 4 girls from kindergarten. And these 2 girls get nobody. They were friends. Why not put them in the same class?

Nancy Grace is on HLN, part of CNN (it's a Legal News and Views sub-channel).

She's a former judge.

She's "out there" most of the time. IMO, of course.
