Well, you've read the notes, the notes had fun elements, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently looking for some fun elemOOnts.

And the word of the day is: IRREFRANGIBLE!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 10, 2013, 04:51:26 AM »

Good morning, all! I am up too early, but I need to discover the geography of New Jersey Transit at Penn Station this morning before I get lost there tomorrow trying to get to Hamilton,NJ.

I have nothing else to report at this time. I will check in from Toyland.

Good morning, all.

Oy!

Nothing in particular. Just a big ol' general purpose Oy! Apply it however you will.

I find Penn Station fascinating in its weirdly designed complexity, though truth to tell, I've only had reason to go in there a couple of times and those were years ago. But I dearly love exploring that kind of urban infrastructure and I should get me down to NYC to do it a little more often.

DR ELMORE: You did say this is a taping and that the show will be broadcast in a couple of weeks?

Yes, DR ChasSmith. It's a 2-hour taping session. It will be cut (way) down, I assume, to go with their march 17 broadcast of EILEEN. The station is WWFM, and I believe the program is "The Dress Circle."

And I am off to Penn Station and Toyland!

Morning all.

That is all.

Here is the link for

Dress Circle WWFM

Keep it for future reference. For instance, you might know of someone who will appear on, say March 17 (Saint Patrick's Day), talking about an old but recently restored Victor Herbert musical called "Eileen"

BK: Is Adriana's Hollywood Then and Now book specifically the one of that title by Rosemary Lord?

Also, do you know the one called Then and Now by Ed Ruscha? I just learned of that, and MUST see it.

I will post a review soon, btw. Does Amazon notify authors when new ones appear?

Thank you for the link, DR Ben!

Britain is in a panic because horse meat is being discovered in various ready-made food products (a lasagne described as 100% beef was found to be 100% horse!) so I thought I'd make my own home made burgers. This is the result:

That is some fine food porn, DR Doug R.

Good morning, all.

Continued vibes of warmth and power.

I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

Greetings from Toyland! Once I discovered NJ Transit in Penn Station, I realized that I'd been there before, with either DR FJL or Skip. I believe it may be when we went to see Maureen Silliman in THE GLASS MENAGERIE.

My ticket would have been $30 roundtrip but with my senior discount it was only $13.50! I am fully informed and set for tomorrow.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2013, 06:31:01 AM »

I am having scrambled eggs and ham on a roll for breakfast as I type this.

I believe that some work has come in as well, so I am content for the next several hours.

catching up from yesterday

Neil Simon

Plays:
California Suite (The Visitors From London)
Sweet Charity
Little Me
Chapter Two
They're Playing Our Song

Movies
The Sunshine Boys
Murder By Death
The Cheap Detective
Barefoot In the Park
Max Dugan Returns

I saw Brighton Beach Memoirs, but have absolutely no memory of it on stage. Also the musical version of The Goodbye Girl with the exception of one sequence with the character of Ricky Simpson ( aka Richard Simmons) the play was a bust

Michael · « **Reply #20 on:** February 10, 2013, 07:05:25 AM »

Neil Simon must have fallen out of fashion late 80's/90's because the "big screen" adaptations of his plays were done for the small screen and he even did tv remakes and not for the better. Broadway Bound, London Suite, Jake's Women, Laughter on the 23rd Floor, Odd Couple Remake, Plaza Suite remake, Sunshine Boys remake, Barefoot in the Park remake, The Goodbye Girl remake and Rumors but done for French TV

I thought from the mid 80's onwards his original screenplays were awful: The Marrying Man, The Slugger's Wife, The Lonely Guy, The Odd Couple II (Which I believe is his last original screenplay)

Sunday morning greetings! No Lima for me again this week, but I've promised Fr. Richard that I will accompany him midweek for Ash Wednesday.

DR Ben, I just listened to your EVITA segment on BBC Wales. Loved Beverly's birthday wishes to you! Also, right after your segment, she talks about Candlemas and plays John Rutter's CANDLELIGHT CAROL. Last time I'd heard that was live in Canterbury Cathedral. A local visiting choir was practicing while we were touring and then they sang for the Evensong service we attended.

It's Sunday. A nice, clear, sunnny Sunday.

It must be healthy - I included a tomato.

Well, I was wrong about there being work. I have nothing until some scores are released by someone on the team who's taking his time. It irks me.

A lot.

So, i guess I'll close up Toyland and head for home.

It was that, but also an amalgam of other similar books.

I'm not sure if they send out e-mails, but I'LL let you know

Looking forward to your thoughts.

I'm up after a somewhat rough night of sleep. Once again, for about the tenth time in the last three months, I'm fighting not to get sick. EVERYONE is sick and they don't stay home, they go out or visit and I do NOT want to catch this stuff. I'm hoping what started to happen on Friday is due to allergies, but my throat was bugging me all yesterday, which is why I had trouble sleeping. So, I'm popping Coldeez again and Airborne and hopefully it's not too late for those. I don't LIKE this. And if I AM fighting an actual illness rather than an allergy, I suspect I know where I got it - but here's hoping we fight the good fight.

Oh, and I'm up.
