I Am Sorry That I Have Been Truant For The Past Week.Good Excuse Though. I Was In New York For My Granddaughter's(Emmaline Claire-Craig's Daughter's)First Birthday And Naming. Celebrations All Around. But I'm Back..Missed You All.

Welcome back.  Your week must have been wonderful.  What is a Naming ceremony like?

The Baby Naming Was Done At Congregation Rodeph Shalom In New York City By A Rabbi Who Blessed Her With These Words-"Our God And God Of Our Ancestors,Bring Emmaline Into A Life Of Joy,A Life Of Goodness,A Life Of Wisdom.And Let Her Light Help Illumine The World Around Her, Strengthen Our Will And Our Strength To Help Guide Emmaline And Nurture Her Through Every Step Of Her Journey Ahead"
Craig And Heather Then Offered Emmaline Words Of Blessing.Craig And Heather Reflected On Her Given Names- EMMALINE CLAIRE. The Rabbi Then Blessed Emmaline With Her Hebrew Names:
MICHAELA- Which Means " Gift From God"- SIGAL- Which Means "Treasure"
It Was A Beautiful Ceremony For A Beautiful Girl.

I'm off to the store to buy some ingredients to make a sweet potato pie, seeing as though I have sweet potatoes that need to be used.  I've never made one, so this should be interesting.

I find sweet potato pie too sweet.  When we lived in Pennsylvania I used to purchase a delicious sweet potato cake.

Not much sugar in this pie.  3/4 cup of brown sugar, that's it.  The batter tasted like an earthy pumpkin pie. 



Not to mention the smell    (that's a lyric from somewhere in the show, in;t it?)

A Question for BK (a day early).  I was just looking around the Screen Archives website (looking for a listing for "At Long Last Love"...and couldn't find one) and came across this listing in the pre-order category:  CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG (2 CD) (PRE-ORDER) (CD)

The listing says, "Perseverance Records is proud to announce the reissue of the soundtrack to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This is a 2-CD reissue of the Kritzerland limited edition release."  It also says, "This release is limited to 3000 copies."

I assume that whoever owns the recording(s) made the decision to reissue it, but why would they go to another company...or did they ask you to reissue it at 3000 copies and you felt that Kritzerland couldn't/shouldn't have a run that large?

Or did you even know about this? 

Just curious.

Well, I must be off.  I want to go home before going to tonight's last rehearsal without an audience.  Tomorrow is our men's final dress/$5 preview.  Thursday is the women's final dress/$5 preview and then we officially open on Friday!  I have to admit that running the soundboard for this show is a LOT easier than the two previous times that I've done it.  Either it's a simple plot or I'm just getting better at it.  Actually, I'm sure that it's more that the sound cues are just simpler.  I know I'm more comfortable doing it, but it really is an easy show to run.

Anyway, be back later!

I need to begin reading the first draft of a friend's novel.  I have it on my Nook with Microsft Word.  For some reason the print is minuscule yet is just fine on Keith's iPad.

What a day!  In a fair-to-middling way.

Got some things done, but not nearly enough.  Took a nap that was supposed to be a quick power nap but it turned into a two-hour grogfest.  Got to make the evening a little more productive.

Oh, and the furnace igniter (my own name for whatever the individual piece actually is) must be dying because it now fails to cycle itself back on about half the time.  What this means is that I have to go to the basement and press the little red reset button.  Not exactly a hardship, since at least it starts back up when I do that, but the people who handle the annual maintenance contract on it will be out in the morning.  I think it's something they had to replace over ten years ago, and I'm expecting that will be the case tomorrow.  Thank the Ye Gods for the contract.  It's kind of like having Apple Care for the furnace.

I am curious to see who will get voted out of DWTS tonight.

To me DL and Wynonna were the worst by far.

Andy was good for his capabilties. I find his dances charming and fun. And even though he has little dancing ability he practiced the most of any celeb this week. I love that!

I've been thinking about DR Tom and wanted to ask if he had ever heard of a Back Joy?  I bought one for my chair at work just about 2 weeks ago and it seems to be helping my back.  I was thinking it might take the stress off of yours.

Or did you even know about this? 

Just curious.

I was going to entertain doing an Encore Edition at some point, but didn't feel we should so soon after it went out of print, so I hadn't inquired.  This other label got their grubby little mitts on it - but thankfully the MGM guy wrote me an e-mail about it, because it was never the label's intention to credit us - so it was made part of their contract - we'll see if they abided by the exact wording I asked for.
