I just got the good news that Jason Graae is confirmed for the Bob Hope role in ROBERTA. Big sigh of relief!

Congratulations, Larry!

Nice photos from DR DOUG R.

Welcome home DR KEVIN.....yes, your cruise was much less eventful than the ship In The News.

DR CILLA LIZ - there is much to be said for staying home, that is for sure...especially if meeting Mr H is only a maybe.

He's definitely a no, now.  Too busy to come into the city.  So, I have cancelled the trip.  I am actually very relieved. Callie sent him a thank you note because it means she doesn't have to go to Kitty Jail

DR George, I believe we're offering Aunt Minnie/Madame Roberta to Rosemary Ashe. I love her!

Cool!  I have several recordings that she's on.  She was the original Madame Giry in the original London Phantom of the Opera!  And I love the London Witches of Eastwick!

No, DR George, she was the original Carlotta. I believe the Mme Giry was Mary Millar.

DR Vixmom I'm sorry about your car.

Vixmom, at least you have a legitimate reason to spend so much money on your car.

Here's a funny story: As I've said many times here, my favorite Jack Benny episode features a twelve-year-old girl named Toni Marcus, who ends up playing a duet of Getting to Know You with Jack - it's one of the funniest half-hours in all of television, and I've showed it to countless people over the years (I've had a 16mm print since the 1970s).  Someone happened to post the clip on Facebook - I would post the link but the idiot who put it on Facebook did so with the sound completely out of synch.  Anyway, I was nosing around You Tube to see if there were better clips, and I came upon a few current ones - and also the reason I've never been able to really find out anything about her - she's now called Talia "Toni" Marcus.  So, I found her on Facebook and just wrote her a really nice note.  And the funny part of the story?  She went to my high school and was a year ahead of me, which means she was there when I was there.  Who knew?

AARRGGHH!!  At least I knew that she was in the original production.

A year ahead or behind?  I looked her up and she is one month older than I am.  I would love to see a picture of her back then, maybe I knew her.

[Jane]

I looked Toni up in the yearbook and found her.  She was just half a year ahead of me.  I remember how talented she was from the school talent shows.  We were very friendly & I always wondered what happened to her only I, frustratingly, couldn't remember her name. 

I had no idea she had been on Jack Benny.  I hope we get to see the episode.  I wonder, if with a photo, she would remember me.

I meant behind, probably in your class?

The yearbook shows her name as Antoinette.

We are home after a delightful afternoon in the Cincinnati 'burbs.  When we were finished at the Apple Store, we headed for the Cheesecake Factory and our timing was perfect!  Walked right in and got a table.  After a delicious lunch of mini beef tacos, I ordered dulce de leche caramel cheesecake, ate a few bites, and brought the rest home.  We made a couple more computer-related stops for Richard and then went to see my Mom.  We took her a slice of chocolate tuxedo creme cheesecake as a Valentine treat.

[Ginny]

From our family room we can see the intersection of Central Avenue and Alamo Road.  The next street west of Alamo is Kensington and we were southbound on it and encountered what looked like the entire Middletown fire department blocking the intersection of Kensington and Central.  We walked up to Central to see what was going on and couldn't figure it out.  There didn't seem to be a fire, which is good.

Both cakes sound yummy.

Jane can you post her picture from the yearbook?

[Jane]

I don't know how to enlarge it.  I'll ask for Keith's help tomorrow & let you know if I can't do it.  She was think with long straight black hair.

[Jane]

I found a larger photo of her since she was an Ephedian, meaning she excelled in scholarship, leadership & citizenship.

[George]

I'm up, which I guess is what happens when you go to sleep at nine.  Feeling disgusting right now - stuffed up, coughing horribly (which HURTS) and it's like there's a fist in my chest.  I still hope this goes away sooner than later so keep sending those excellent vibes and xylophones.

~~~FEEL BETTER QUICKLY VIBES FOR BK!!~~~

[bk]

Just relaxing.  I'm quite bored of relaxing, actually.  I think one more night of going to bed at nine.  I've felt a bit better since around one.

[Jane]

Off to watch something with Keith.  He picked up a movie at the Redbox and didn't tell me what it is.

[Jane]

'night

[Ginny]

Yes, BK, being sick can be pretty boring.  Glad to hear you're feeling better!

[Ginny]

'night!

I am celebrating Valentine's Day by getting a very scary treatment for my bones.  It is given by IV and lasts for a year, which also means it is in my system at least that long and I can't get it out if there are undesirable side effects.

The first side effect, and very unlikely is on my kidneys.  Oops, forgot I need to drink lots of water this morning as I also did yesterday.

Health vibes to DR Jane!

[TCB]

JRand, I know that.  I'm just not sure that seeing it on Broadway outweighs all the preparations to go, the cost of everything I have to do to go and the fact I don't want to leave home.  If I knew I could see Mr. H, I may still go, but it's looking like he'll be too busy, so that makes it a whole lot easier to just stay home.

Will you only be out the cost of the theater ticket at this point have you also paid for the flight?

I paid for the flight months ago and just paid the change fee to reschedule this time.  I'll be out that and the ticket and that's it.  Compared to about $750-$1000 more it will cost if I get another ticket to a show on Thursday, eat, sleep in a hotel for 2 nights, board Callie, pay a cat sitter for the others, pay parking, do a little shopping etc.  Not to mention missing a couple days of income, but I may do that anyway and stay home and clean

I hope you tell the talented Mr Holmes that it is his fault that you aren't coming to New York.

[Michael]

hope everyone had a great day today

Like.

I thought you were hoping for Donny Osmond.

He knows all about it and it isn't his fault at all.  I decided I really didn't want to go, but if he was planning to make time to see me, I would have gone anyway.  I was actually relieved he wasn't going to be able to work it out.
