RIP to Phoebe the Cat.  Mom and Dad are pretty torn up about it, but it was clear she wasn't going to get any better.   Sad day.

Cillaliz, my condolences to your Mom and Dad. :'(
Sorry to read that. My sympathies.

TCM aired a, HD anamorphic stereo print of "There's No Business Like Show Business" last night...and it was SPECTACULAR!!!

Darn...I wish I'd known about it.
Me, too, except I bet the Ethel Merman drag scene was still scary.

DR Cilla, how are you doing?  You tried so hard to find out what was wrong with Phoebe though I know in your heart you feared what has happened.

It's been a long long day, but I did manage to photocopy the entire edited vocal score and to scan the first act vocal scores and full scores to the copyists. Tomorrow I do the same for all of the full scores for ROBERTA that are ready to go.

Last night, because of my dream about Joe and Jaston, I watched them in the DVD of GREATER TUNA; I may watch TUNA CHRISTMAS tonight, If I can stay awake.

Thanks, DR Laura.  Last night on the phone my doctor told me what I was experiencing looks a lot worse that it really is.  Easy for HIM to say!

While puttering I've been listening to a podcast of Danny Burstein's appearance on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross - dee-lightful!

They still do that in San Antonio every Christmas. And every Christmas I've managed to miss them, though I really would like to see them. I've seen so many other casts in each of the Tuna shows.

TOD:
I didn't care for Paul Newman when he was young (his screen persona seemed to display a permanent arrogance) but I thought he was great in his later years in Fat Man and Little Boy (or as I knew it: Shadow Makers) and The Verdict.

DR Cilla, how are you doing?  You tried so hard to find out what was wrong with Phoebe though I know in your heart you feared what has happened.

I'm ok.  I knew when I left it was going to be the last time I saw her, although Mom insisted it wouldn't be.  It almost seemed like she'd had a stroke, her whole right side didn't work very well.   I believe it was either from the abcess behind her eye or that there was a tumor there.  All her symptoms were consistent with what the vet described.  This morning mom said she couldn't keep the right side of her mouth closed and she fell down when walking (she's been doing that since last week).   She wasn't responding to the antibiotics at all.  She ate and ate and ate but still lost weight.   It was just time.  I'm sad about it, she was a sweet little thing.

DR Ginny - Yep, since my Mom just dealt with a similar episode... If your gums start bleeding again, get to an ER. Hopefully, you won't get the "bruising" around the mouth that my mother ended up with. It really did look worse than it actually was. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

In any case...

It's been a morning of some back-twitching, and another possible housing shuffle for me here in L.A. But the phone calls and emails have been made, and it looks like things are falling into place once again.
