Have you seen this great student video in response to the Steubenville rape case:

Nice.

Over the years I've met too many women who have said the woke up from parties or dates realizing they had been violated.

Has anyone read James Garner's new autobiography yet?

I recently read Jack Kelly's (Garner's co-star on MAVERICK) biography, and it was quite good.

Wednesday morning greetings! Richard and I have been finishing up our tax paperwork and he's now taking it to our accountant's office. I attribute 32 years of marital happiness, in part, to the fact that we've never tried to do our own taxes!

We used to do our own, one doing the initial paperwork & the other checking it. During moves that were confusing with two states for income we used accountants. Once Turbo Tax became available Keith has done it every year & set the kids up to do their own.

Thank you. I really don't want the expense this year.

But maybe you'll get a tax deduction if it's more energy efficient. We're hoping for that because of the new furnace we bought in 2012...

Excellent point.

My friend, actor Bob Nichols, who was Captain Andy in John McGlinn's SHOW BOAT has died at age 88. He was kind man and a very good one.

I'm sorry. Hugs & condolences DR elmore.

DR Jane, I'm sorry to hear that your book group is falling apart. Mine, too, is in transition. I started this group, as a sub-group of AAUW Middletown, when Rob was in kindergarten. Because I have agreed - drumroll, please - to take the presidency of AAUW Middletown for the upcoming year, one of the book group members has stepped up to take over. She will do a great job and I'm glad she's taking a leadership position, both for the book group and as part of the AAUW branch overall.

Congratulations on your presidency. Wishes and Vibes for a great year!!!

How many people are in your book group? I have decided to host our May meeting. Someone might take my July spot if she doesn't end up as the June back-up (the June hostess is still recovering from a stroke but doing pretty good). I have invited a guest to join us in May but chances are she won't join, if she decided to at all, until after summer.

Only one other person turned up for drinks tonight. One person has been rushed to hospital for appendicitis - probably to have it removed and someone else had an emergency broken window at home to attend to.

I hope the medical emergency person is ok!

This day has been a really difficult one. I thought ROBERTA was cast, and today we lost our leading man. He's in City Opera's new production of "Anna Nicole Smith," and. while it was my understanding three weeks ago that all schedules were fine, I learned three days ago that they begin their rehearsals on Aug 13, the same day we begin ROBERTA in Dublin, and City Opera doesn't like his being gone for two weeks. I am not paid nearly enough.

Oh, I can imagine how disappointed and frustrated you are feeling/

VIBES YOU FIND SOMEONE EVEN BETTER!!!

No news from DR Laura so I shall add my vibes here for not needing a new air conditioner, or expensive work on it.

Bob Nichols also appeared in my recording of Drat! The Cat! - he was terrific. Jason Graae was doing Ragtime with him and suggested him.

Well, as I feared, the Man from Philadelphia is now in on the casting situation. I'm putting it all aside and watching tv. I consoled myself by ordering the new Criterion edition of MONSIEUR VERDOUX.

Picked up a couple of packages, one of which is a new 11 CD box set of the complete Legrand/Demy collaborations - every note of music. And finally the English-language version of Young Girls of Rochefort. I'm curious to hear the quality of some of this stuff - since many times this company, who says they've properly licensed, doesn't actually have the master tapes - the composers or estates usually give them to this company - the proof of this is when they did their silly version of That Man From Rio, saying the only tapes available were for about four tracks and then augmenting those with NEW recordings made by Alexandre Desplat. As you all know, the master tapes were all sitting here in LA at MGM and that's what we used for our complete version of the score.

I left shortly after the AC man arrived and my husband took care of it. He's not here now, so I don't know what the verdict was.

I had lunch with a friend and her two-year-old. The toddler babbled constantly about the wizard balloon (hot air balloon she saw this morning) the birds on the restaurant patio, the nearby water fountains, and the airplane that went fast that she rode to Phoenix on. She calls me Miss Lorla.

Then I dropped off some milkweed seeds at The Monarch Scientist's home and then went to the bank to pay for my too-many purchases that I made last month.

Laura · « **Reply #108 on:** March 27, 2013, 04:47:58 PM »

I'm sorry for your rotten day, Elmore. Maybe you should go have lunch with a two-year-old.

MBarnum · « **Reply #109 on:** March 27, 2013, 04:51:50 PM »

"She Calls Me Miss Lorla" is the title of my new semi-fictional novel about a small Arizona town and its inhabitants.

With the way I feel today, Miss Loria, I'd probably eat the child for lunch,

Laura · « **Reply #115 on:** March 27, 2013, 05:15:12 PM »

Or maybe you would feel better if you threw a tantrum. Like if they try to take away your mac and cheese too soon.
