Well, you've read the notes, there were vultures circling the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently at an estate sale spending their hard earned MOOney.

DR ELMORE the abridged NICE WORK script was most entertaining!

It is Saturday....and we are expecting the thunderstorms that have been predicted since Tuesday to at last arrive.

And of course it is a work day.....oh well.

DR JMK - I think Purdue would be a nice home for your Frances collection.....anyone doing research on her should HAVE to come to Indiana anyway.

Good morning, all.

Off to my last Fiesta event of the year this morning: the Pooch Parade. I have never been. It should be interesting.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 28, 2012, 05:24:55 AM »

We need pictures of the Pooch Parade. Today is the day of the Mutt Strut around the Indy 500 track, so maybe there will be doggies news stories this evening on the local channels.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 28, 2012, 05:25:34 AM »

Off to work. Oh well.

ANNIE vibes for DR MATTHEW.....and STAGE vibes for MR BK and those pesky musicians.

John G. · « **Reply #12 on:** April 28, 2012, 05:26:08 AM »

TOD: I love to search for recordings, in any format, of musicals that I don't have, which may be why I've ended up with seven recording of "Annie Get Your Gun."

I also love to find an author and search out most everything he or she has written. I think it started with George Eliot, but through the years I've collected all of J.B. Priestley's novels, Anthony Trollope's, all but one of Dawn Powell's, and so many more. Currently, I'm looking for Balzac. I just wish I had the time to read a few of them, but classes are getting in the way of my education.

John G. · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2012, 05:27:19 AM »

I will try to post some pooches parading about, though it may not be today. It all depends on the time. I've got to get a paper finished this weekend and I only have about 10 pages of notes. It will likely be doubled by the time it's finished.

John G. · « **Reply #14 on:** April 28, 2012, 05:29:13 AM »

"The sun'll come out" vibes for Matthew and Annie. (BTW: I would love some foie gras poppers.)

Good morning to all.
Health vibes to all that need them.

What a bummer that the STAGE concert won't be recorded. Why are musician such asses when it comes to things like this?

Good morning, all! I hate being out late because it screws up my following day. I git ti bed too late and I slept in this morning much longer than I had planned. I have a lot of work at Toyland today and I want to get started. I have work on a couple of ROBERTA scores y be scanned and converted to pdf files. I'm in a quandary about DEAREST ENEMY orchestra parts for the recording, so I have to settle on what we'll do about it today.

I need to make the bed and get out.

TOD:

I really don't do much "hunting" these days, but when I did, I used to look for signed lobby cards.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2012, 06:14:15 AM »

Hunting passions: The usual. Books, records, music, first and foremost. Something for the wall. Nice small things. Really, whatever appeals, and you often don't know what appeals till you see it. In my area, estate sales are just a bit less unruly, but I hear nightmare stories about those closer in to the city -- particularly from a friend on Long Island who has had some incredibly wonderful finds whilst suffering similar kinds of heartbreak at the hands of the vultures.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** April 28, 2012, 06:21:06 AM »

I'm off to the beautiful old Lafayette Theater wherest I will be treated to a movie I've never seen called "Dead End" (1937), along with a well chosen cartoon, perhaps a vintage trailer, all at the extremely capable hands of Peter Appruzzese, Projectionist Supremo. A Saturday morning treat.

Ginny · « **Reply #23 on:** April 28, 2012, 06:25:57 AM »

Saturday morning greetings! We're having some down time today. Mom is still sleeping and I'm trying to be quiet. This is the actual 50th wedding that we'll celebrate tomorrow. On this day in 1962, my sister and her husband were married and I wore nylon stockings for the first time as their junior bridesmaid. I know - TMI...

TOD: I haven't bought anything collection-wise in a long long time, but at one time I had great fun buying vintage Evelyn Nesbit postcards for DR Sandra and vintage Marilyn Monroe postcards for former DR Megan. I got them on ebay.

Ginny · « **Reply #25 on:** April 28, 2012, 07:10:59 AM »

TOD - Once in a while, I'll go searching for a Vera Bradley item in a discontinued pattern or style. My first forays into eBay were for that purpose and now there's a Facebook VB sales group that has been helpful.

Ginny · « **Reply #26 on:** April 28, 2012, 07:11:35 AM »

DR JohnG - I love Dawn Powell and have thought of working up a Chautauqua-style re-enactment!

Your grandmother might have been confused when she left the lamp to your sister. Have you ever asked her for it? Did your grandmother leave you something you can trade it for? If your sister doesn't want to give you the lamp maybe she will lend it to you.

AT the time it bothered me. But whatever. I'm trying to remember if i got anything equal. I don't think so which is probably why it bugged me. I think it wasn't so much that my sister got it. But rather that i had always loved it and then it was specifically given to someone else.
