Site down for over an hour! We cannot be moving from there fast enough and I've told the new folks this - I'd like it all to happen in the next three weeks. When I first noticed I wrote the host and was told (ten minutes later) that they were aware of the issue and working on it. An hour later I'd had it and called and the guy made the mistake of larding on the attitude, saying "We're working on it" just dripping with "why are you bothering us?" attitude. I shut that down right away by raising my voice slightly and giving back more attitude than he could possibly know what to do with - I said, "Why don't you knock off the defensiveness - it's MY site that's down." He told me it was a lot of sites that they host. I told him, "Funny, your own site is up and running just fine, and I'd like mine to be, too - maybe we should be on the same server." He told me they were working as fast as they could but it could take another hour. But, ten minutes after and here we are and hopefully that's the last of the problems with them today and tonight.

Thanks for letting me know we are back up. An hour wasn't too bad though it seemed longer to me.

Hello, everyone.

Today started with a big, hairy spider in my bathtub. Normally I let these critters live, but not in my space! I washed him down the drain.

Then I had a notice from the California Franchise Tax Board, saying that I owed them several hundred dollars. No, all has been paid. It took a couple hours for someone to call me back, but he did and we got it straightened out. (Their error.)

I tell you, all is not right in the Heavens.

It's nice to hear the show went well. Was the singer who began the number again the fit thrower?

I think we've all been wondering this.

Jane · « **Reply #97 on:** May 06, 2013, 03:55:24 PM »

DR Jeanne I'm relieved that you sorted out the tax board, and with one call too.

No-more-raccoon vibes to DR Cillaliz!

Many years ago, when I was living in Alexandria, VA, I was in the upstairs bathroom, brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed, when I noises above me that made me think that someone was on the roof. I called out to my friend John, who was staying with me at the time. His response was the typical, "I didn't hear anything; you must be imagining it." Then we went up to the guest room on the third floor, which looks out to the bathroom roof. And looked right into the face of a raccoon. Boy, was John startled! Some raccoons are the size of a small dog and, on the roof, do sound much heavier.

Jane, I'm not so sure I sorted them out, but this one problem has been resolved.

My check had cleared the bank and they were indeed the ones who cashed it. They had posted it for the wrong year.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as staged by Liberace?

Isn't that the Tournamnet of Roses parade?

from DR Chas yesterday:
What the HELL??!!!
I wouldn't be missing a show if I lived within a couple of hundred miles of the place.

DR Chas, I have scoliosis, a curve in my spine, which causes a lot of problems with my back and neck. It's been a number of years since I've been comfortable enough to go out much in the evenings, even to a movie just down the street. There were a number of Kritzerland shows which I would like to have attended.

And now for something completely different...Playbill.com has an article: THE SCREENING ROOM: Runs a Minute 11 Concert.... and I've just gotten to "Starfish" (the song itself starts at about 8:30 into the video) from La Strada, which, of course, was recorded on the first of our very own BK's "Unsung Musicals" CDs.

Is it just me, or does the singer in the video give a very affected performance of the song?? She rarely opens her eyes. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #106 on:** May 06, 2013, 04:30:10 PM »

I mean, the woman has a nice voice, but what she does with it is just weird. Just sing the darn song!

George · « **Reply #107 on:** May 06, 2013, 04:32:30 PM »

And the very next video is a reunion of the original cast of Starting Here, Starting Now, Loni Ackerman, George Lee Andrews, Margery Cohen!

TOD - Walking Happy

DR Ginny, WALKiNG HAPPY was not a British import.

Oops! It sure seemed like one when I saw it during its pre-Broadway Detroit run in 1966.

We are expecting a storm. We have eaten dinner, washed the dishes & done everything possible before it arrives. If we lose power we also lose our water.

Yes, the singer who asked to start the bridge again is the same who threw the fit - and two of my other gals, who are the sweetest most down-to-earth people ever said they thought her behavior backstage was completely off-putting. No matter - none of us ever have to work with her again and that's a good thing.

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** May 06, 2013, 05:24:29 PM »

That isn't surprising.

And THIS is for Sondheim's "I Wouldn't Change a Thing," originally written for The Last Resorts that was going to be written with Jean and Walter Kerr (it was never finished). It's a Sondheim song that I've never heard!

"BUTT ME, WALTER!"

(You have to watch the video to find out what that means.

We had a very short, as in half a second, power outage.

The raccoons won't be happy

We never seen them, just their poop on the deck and other places. Sherlock was good at finding it-lol

Jane · « **Reply #118 on:** May 06, 2013, 06:14:11 PM »

In both of our Michigan homes we enjoyed watching the raccoons. In our first home, which backed up to a ravine, there was a big old tree they lived in. Standing on our upper back deck we could see them climb down the tree at dusk. Boy, did they move slowly when they first woke up. In the spring the babies would walk out onto the end of a big limb and watch us while we stood on the deck watching them-oh so cute.

I can hear it pouring now. I haven't seen lightening. If I do I will be shutting off the computer.
