It was a beautiful day here.  Even though I was inside at the computer, it was all good.

Good evening.  We had a very busy and good March, so I decided to close at noon today. I didn't go to Good Friday services, I rendered unto Caesar and did my taxes.  It's the one time of the year I'm really happy my take home is less than half of my old take home pay.   I'm 1000% happier, so it's not a big deal.  Luckily we had a good March so I had the cash on hand to pay taxes and put some in my IRA.   I'm glad that's over. 

I admire that you have based your work around what you enjoy doing and not the pay check.

My best alarm story is when my dad went into my place at the lake to get something for me and forgot to take the code for the alarm with him.   He tried to call me for the code, but I wasn't in, so when I got to my office to listen to my messages, there was one that was my dad with the siren blaring in the background and he was shouting at the alarm company coming over the speaker saying "I'm her father!!! I'm her father!!!"   I later heard from my friend who was on the contact list that she got a call about a burglar named Gordon who claimed to be my father.  It cracked me up to hear it.

Several people, including BK, have suggested that I combine all of my one-person plays into an anthology.  So, that's what I've done.

THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS: Ten Plays About Eleven Fabulous People is now available in both paperback and on Kindle.  It contains my plays on Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Carole Lombard, Al Jolson, Errol Flynn, Clara Bow, Orson Welles, Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy (a two-person play) and Basil Rathbone.

http://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Legends-Eleven-Fabulous-People/dp/1482725673/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364591068&sr=1-1&keywords=the+hollywood+legends

BTW: Thanks, BK, for suggesting the excellent subtitle.

It is an excellent subtitle. :)

Wishing you much success with the new book.

Too many people would not have had the courage to make the changes you did.

We are in for the evening after a delightful day.  We met our great niece Rachel, who is the sweetest baby.  Her brothers, ages 8 and 5, are crazy about her.  Came back to the hotel and I read, then slept, until it was time  to go to church for Evening Prayer and Stations of the Cross.  Afterwards, we picked up tuna sandwiches at Subway and came back to the hotel for Mee-chigan basketball -  Go, Blue!

Also I really want to go see the movie THE HOST. I was thinking of this Tuesday. But now I think it will have to be next Tuesday. I'm curious to see what others who have read the book think.

I accompanied Keith to Home Depot today.  While there I kept wondering why I felt he needed my company. 

On the way home we stopped at the Redbox and picked up a Blue-ray disc of LINCOLN. :)

Picked up tapes, which I don't think are what I need, had two tuna sandwiches, and watched a motion picture I had to watch for purposes other than enjoyment although it was extremely enjoyable.  Then I conked out for an hour.

I loathe The Office. I work in an office with a mix of smart and nice and stupid and smarmy people. Why would I want to come home and watch the same kind of s**t on television after living through it 5 days a week for the past 21.5 years.

Has anyone else noticed how feiasty DR Ben has become?

TOD

CD - BARNUM, B'way and London
DVD - BARNUM  (do you detect a pattern here?) and more Hammer B&Ws
VCR - THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG, which I'm happy to find still plays okay whilst I decide which DVD to get
BLU - hmmm...


Chas, I assume the BARNUM DVD is the Michael Crawford production.  Is that correct?  JIm Dale seemed to live and breathe the role on Broadway.  He and some woman named Glenn who played his wife.

Yes, the Michael Crawford.  Is there any video of Jim Dale?  I haven't begun snooping around for anything yet.
