To be fair to the gal, I'm sure the theater is intimating that she might get to do the role in the show she's singing the song from. I'm sure that's the come on - whether that happens or not is not known right now, but if the director is the same then maybe. They tend to use the same directors over and over again, you know, the ones who just usually recreate other stagings. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the person doing all this rescheduling and planning of this event isn't this guy who used to work for me at the label that's not worth mentioning. He has been slowly "working" his way up at that theater and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't make him the artistic director at some point. And that's all I'll say about THAT.

All that said, she still made the wrong decision. Whether that will ever bother her is unknown to me. I'm sure she thinks we should have just changed everything we usually do for her, but I just can't. We don't pay a lot, but one of the reasons we do is because no other cabaret show has EVER paid anyone to sing - and I think it makes all the difference in the world.

Good afternoon. Thank you for your kind words about my photos.

The bird in the last photo is a female phainopepla. Their call sounds like they are saying "What???" So I loved the way she tilted her head when she said it.

I'll just call it the Deaf Old Dear birdy. What? What? WHAT?

Well, it looks like my DVR is shot. It goes on and off by itself. I tried to watch programs that were recorded and got a message saying they were not available. But then I noticed that Kelly and Michael was recorded today ( I meant to stop recording after Broadway week) and I'm able to watch that, but apparently nothing else! That's really disappointing since I have several Awards shows (Tony, Oscar) and also my nephew's appearance on American Ninja Warriors (maybe that will be on again--I hope).

Kevin, I have the 2013 Tony Awards on regular DVD, if you want that...it's not hi-def, of course, but I can easily make you a copy.

Not really DR Laura, those shots have done painful damage to me in the past. The drilling didn't really begin hurting too much until I was almost done. At anytime I could have said stop and give me a shot.

I checked checked our local paper for an update on the fires and read the following"

Fire crews are struggling to make progress against wildfires that have burned more than 35,000 acres and shrouded Southern Oregon in smoke so thick firefighters can't see to work.

Of course my Wednesday hiking group canceled. I went to the Y and instead of my usual beautiful view of the mountains all I saw was a white haze.

John G. · « **Reply #129 on:** July 31, 2013, 05:54:02 PM »

White haze? Welcome to my world. That's been my week on these meds.

Watching the 1999 version of "Midsummer Night's Dream" with Kevin Kline, Michele Pfeiffer, et al. I enjoyed it when I saw it at the movie theater. Now, it's a little magical on TV, but I love the Italian opera in the background. And Stanley Tucci makes for a creepy Puck.

I am enjoying it much more than the Peter Brook version with Diana Rigg, which was just awful, as I recall.

LOL. A different kind of haze though it is getting me down. I'm kind of dragging my feet here.

I just got back from a swim meet. AT 7 my niece is turning into such an amazing swimmer. They put her in the first heat of all three of her races. She got 2nd place in her relay, and 2nd place in her back stroke. That is really the best she could have possibly done in each race because she was racing against the winter swimmers. She got 4th place in butterfly ( in the first heat against the fastest swimmers and she only learned butterfly a month ago).

Well, I must be going to rehearsal. We're going to start blocking the scenes where I'm police officer Kershaw.

Be back later!

Speaking of Tonys, 2012 Tony winner James Corden is the writer of the video for this week's Billboard #2 song.

Corden has always been a bit wild in his humor.

My photoshop program is working so slowly that it is taking forever to upload some images I need. And I'm falling asleep waiting for them.

Jane, that photo is depressing. Looks like it was taken from the inside of a barbecue pit.

I read a barbecue at a winery was canceled. I can't imagine going anywhere near a barbecue right now.

Why, is it still very hot down there?
