Well, today is the day for Theater Artists Olympia's Get Heart On For TAO! It's definitely going to be a long day. Hopefully, it'll all have been worth it (financially, that is). I bought a LOT of sodas, and probably got too much, but we'll see. I'm sure that I can bring some back for a refund.

Anyway, have a great day, all!

Donate what is left to the theater and take a tax write-off on the full amount.

Was going to make brownie bread pudding for the guests tomorrow, but I just discovered I don't have enough eggs and I don't have enough energy to clean myself up for a "quick" trip to the store. Do you think people would mind being served the stale crumbles of brownies by themselves?

I was going to say that you could substitute a mashed banana or applesauce or yogurt or even some mayo for the egg, but I guess you need it for the custard rather than the brownies. So... Do you have any ice cream? You could always make some "brownie croutons" - maybe gussy them up with a dash or two of cayenne and some Maldon - and sprinkle them on top of a bowl of vanilla ice cream.

Well... Include a dash or two of cinnamon would give them a Mexican twist. -And not the Chubby Checker kind.

Hello, everyone.

Bruce, I'm confused as to why you're doing some of the vocals in LA. I'm sure you have a very good reason, it just isn't clear to me what it is. Not that it should be, as I have never been in a recording studio. Can you clarify, please?

In a little while I shall be going E&T until late tonight, as I make my way into Sullivan County, NY, a.k.a. the Catskill Region, a.k.a. the Borscht Belt, for my annual visit to a couple of friends who have a beautiful little summer house in one of the old bungalow colonies. Their house overlooks a dramatic meadow beyond which are the Catskills themselves, and I'm rather hoping for a passing late afternoon thunderstorm today since I've only seen the place in its lovely sunny state.

Of course, there is no more Borscht Belt and I never "knew" it except from books and films, etc., but once I started driving over there just to look around some years back, I found myself hooked on the remains of the faded glory. Actually, faded glory is not quite the word for it. Desolate destruction and abandonment might get a little closer to the truth. The remains of the old hotels, some of them, are still there for all to see and for braver risk-takers than I to actually explore, and even in the years I've been doing my little drive-throughs, a few more have burned to the ground through whatever means or have been deliberately razed. It's a sad, spooky, and fascinating area.

This news really saddens me. Although I've been through parts of upstate NY, I've never been to the Catskills. I had no idea so much had changed.

Have a lovely drive, Chas.

I'm sure that's it. Cheaper with only one round-trip airfare.

Hi, Tom.

I am one tired old geezer today.

Thursday, my sister took me out to lunch and then to the Emerald Queen Casino for a couple of hours - I won $100.00 +.

Yesterday, my friend, Carole took me to the Snoqualmie Casino for lunch and some gambling - I won $400.00 +.

Two days of fun in a row and I am very tired.

I'll probably think of a few others while I'm out driving around, miles away from being able to log in.

WHAT??!! You don't have your Blackberry or iPhone or tablet with you so you can post on the run??

(I'm so old-fashioned that I don't even have a smartphone.)

So...

I had been toying with taking a day trip up to Boston tomorrow, and paying a visit to the hospital - now apartment building - that I was born in, but...

Instead, I will do what I've done for a couple of my past birthdays: a Birthday Crawl. I'll walk - maybe bike - the city, and make stops along the way at some of my favorite places - a.k.a. restaurants. And meet up with friends throughout the day at the various points of interest.

So...

Tomorrow's Birthday Crawl will start with breakfast at The City Bakery, probably around 10:00am. And will end at Ditch Plains (UWS - in DR elmore's 'hood) sometime around 8:00pm for drinks and appetizers. There will be some interim stops, but most of them will be TBA - I'll announce them via my Facebook page and Twitter feed. I'm pretty sure a stop at the Big Gay Ice Cream Store will be included, as well at The High Line (if it's not too crowed). So...

If any NYC-area Hainsies and Kimlets would like to join me for a cup of coffee, cookie, a scoop of ice cream, deviled eggs, etc., or just hang out on a bench in Madison Square Park for a bit, I'd love to see you. And I'll be sure to post updates to updates to my itinerary here as I'm able.

Why clean yourself up? You'll just stand out from the rest.

I've just finished the first draft of my new stage play.

This is the first play that I've written for THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS since the mid-1990s. And, unlike the other 8 plays in that collection, which are all monologues, this one is a 2-person play.

I've been promoted!

Congrats!

Yes, don't bother to clean up; just shop at Wal Mart.

DR Jed's grandfather, Milo Smith, has passed away. When I was attending Central Washington State College (now University), Milo was the head of the Drama Department. He was a very fine man and a great educator.

Perhaps that is it. I am not familiar with the making money part.

Jose, I really like your Birthday Crawl idea. Why settle for just one get-together when you can have many? One friend of mine spends the whole month celebrating his birthday.
