Monday morning greetings!  My first mission today is to get Richard's prescription meds to the mailing place for overnight shipping to his seminary in Wisconsin (clergy retreat).  Later this afternoon, I'll take Mom to her follow-up appointment with the chiropractor.

Thank for the continued vibes for Mom.  They have been working--Mom was feeling great this weekend and in excellent spirits. 

That's great news, DR Dan (the Man) - more vibes for Mom!

Betsy and I have managed to stay married for 18 years as of today.  I have a sneaking suspicion it's been easier for me than for her.

Is it because she doesn't read your posts, either?  ;)

And congratulations.

Greetings from Toyland! I suspect the visit was a needless trip, so I'll be heading back uptown very shortly.

The production of Titanic that I posted links to yesterday was the Australian production.

After viewing this production I felt it was like seeing it for the first time. I saw the equity tour without the elaborate NYC sets. I have practically no memory of this theater going experience.

Because it SUCKED!!!!!   Well, that's not totally true - it was sung well.  But the physical production was SO bad.  I saw it twice, once in LA (special trip just to see it) and once in SF.  Same production.  I loved the score, I think I just closed my eyes  LOL

I tend to agree. I liked the idea of not showing the ship during the song where they board. And I love most of the music, but I remember a few really cheap moments, one that looked like black garbage bags being used for water at night. Another was of the tiny boat sinking.

But I also remember a sea of beautiful voices, especially in "Ladies' Maid."

TOD:    Mashed potatoes....with cheese, or sour cream and chives or garlic and butter.   Jello.   Pork and beans.   Or baked beans.   Or beans and franks (cut the franks up so you dn't have to chew very much).

Pancakes or waffles.

Any number of egg dishes...omelettes, fried, scrambled, souffle.

This past weekend's ABC miniseries "Titanic" was a disappointment.  Too much of a cliched ripoff of Cameron's film...dull characterizations...give me the 1953 version any day for a fictional story melded with factual presentation of the dramatic story.

As good as "A Night to Remember" is, I've always found it a bit "dry".

And, of course, for variety, I added GRITS to my soft foods menu a couple of years ago after LANAPP surgery.

But I'm thinking you don't do grits.   ;)

However, rice....specifically risotto in its various guises/flavors can be a wonderful treat.

I entirely skipped the miniseries this weekend.  Saturday night my sister and I opted to watch GREAT EXPECTATIONS which I had DVR'ed.  I enjoyed Gillian Anderson's creepy performance but she was *not* playing Miss Havisham (more like a less lucid Ghost of Christmas Past.)  Overall, I found it way too emo in tone--hard as it is to imagine, but they managed to suck the joy out of the book for this adaption.

I enjoyed the first half very much.  But the second half was too dreary for words.  The adult Pip was BORING and uninvolving and dull.   Whoever cast him did it for looks, not talent. 

Agree partly on Gillian Anderson.  She was a bit too young in appearance, and seemed less like Miss Havisham and more like what you suggested..."the ghost of Christmas day before yesterday".  They needed a Martita Hunt!!!

Thanks for the wishes.

Speaking of TITANIC the musical, I'm listening to DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY and I must say I'm prone to saying it's another unmitigated disaster.  I actually like a lot of the music, but, oy, Yeston's lyrics are pretty lame at times.

Thanks. I think  I'll skip it. After the horrible Ethan Hawke-Gwyneth Paltrow version, I'm leery of any adaptation of that.
