I used to listen to a lot of books on tape when I had a 30 mile commute (each way) every day

I am afraid I won't be too much help tonight on posting.  Since I had to meet my friends at 6:00 p.m.; that meant I had to delay taking my Vicodin until 8.  So, I am really hurting now.

I certainly hope that someone from the Anderson Cooper will have the decency to respond to Danise.  Especially if the AC Show said they would cover the taxes.

It may not seem like much money to Anderson, but for the rest of us it can be a make or break amount of money.

What time is it?  I hope BK and company are breaking some legs and having a great evening. 

Got through the second weekend of my show with substitute synth player tonight.  He was great, and all went very well.

Watching "Pina," Wim Wender's documentary about the German choreographer Pina Bausch. Wish I had seen this in 3-D. I may not understand everything I need to when it comes to ballet or modern dance, but watching it just fascinates me, and her dancers, all ages and shapes, are beautiful when they move.

My copy was delivered today and I'll probably watch some of it tomorrow.  I don't know from dance, but I do have an admiration for a couple of little things I'd seen of Pina Bausch -- and I do enjoy me some 3D now and then so I'm looking forward to it.

And while we are on the topic of musicals today, here is a question for you all:

Mae-Ling seems to be interested in musicals lately. Can you nice folks recommend a few good shows kids can watch that I could get on dvd? So far she has seen the Cathy Rigby version of Peter Pan. We tried watching the movie version of Phantom of the Opera, but it was pretty bad.

So far I have "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and "Music Man" on my list.

Wae-Ling is still very happy to watch Peter Pan while she is here.

Do you want movie musicals or stage shows recorded on dvd?

I know my niece loved Mary Poppins the musical (she hasn't seen the movie yet).

I think the stage version of "Mary Poppins" is a piece of garbage, but the young ladies should love the movie. It's fantastic!'They might like the leprechaun in the film of "Finian's Rainbow." Teach them some social injustice! And witchcraft.

Tommy Steele! What young girl wouldn't love him? I know I did!

Just looked up the story about the sinkhole. Horrifying, and also reminds me of the end of the movie PAINT YOUR WAGON.

My best friend got married today.  It was a lovely wedding at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, one of the last of it's kind in the area.  Still ornate and charming.  We had a flash mob which was awesome.  Her and i dated once and I'm the only other person she ever wanted to marry.  It was an amazing evening.  I even got to dance with my date in public - it really was an epic day.   Love is certainly in the air.

I'm back from a wonderful evening and show.  Some weird energy in the room, and the fact is I just like our regular Sunday night slot the best, so glad we'll be back on our regular schedule, hopefully for the rest of the year.  Jam-packed audience, lots of big laughs, but too many lyric flubs for my taste, some resulting in some big laughs not landing - nothing to do about that but unfortunately it all happened at the beginning of the show - when the audience needs to be comfortable rather than worrying whether a singer is missing lines and fumfering.
