NUNSENSE played at our local Cabaret Theater, before we moved here  :(.  We saw the sequel and found it to be mediocre.  :-\

Ken Mandelbaum and I must have gotten the same DVDs in the mail recently. He reviewed a DVD I talked about here several days ago (the Mary Martin-Ethel Merman excerpt DVD from the Ford 50th Anniversary Show), and he also reviewed the Steve Martin PENNIES FROM HEAVEN which I got this week but haven't gotten around to yet. Looking forward to seeing it as I always thought, despite some reservations, that it was ahead of its time. Yep, know it was based on a British miniseries, but nothing like it had been seen in the USA before. Perhaps that's why it did so poorly when it was released.

Okay so I went back to the same library (they called about a book).  And behind the desk were FOUR librarians, one of which was the one who gave me the hard time the other day.

Anyhow, I just knew that she would be the one to serve me (even though I didn't wait in her line).

Well she was REALLY nice.  And she must have remembered me.

Totally weird.  She even made a point to say that I am next for 6 books I reserved.  And that she hoped I didn't get them all at once (which I probably will).

Danise I kept dosing in and out.  It really is difficult to sleep with the rain and wind hitting so many windows.  I remember thinking if the tree starts to fall on me and the windows shatter I will roll under the bed.  The mind works in mysterious ways, or should I say doesn’t work, when it becomes overly exhausted.  I assure you I was in the basement during the next big storm. ;D

I had a whitefish salad sandwich on an "everything" bagel for lunch today.  Isn't that exciting?  Isn't that too too?

I forgot to tell you that I had given Bear some Anxiety drops (kinda like Rescue Remedy) that I bought at the vet the last time.

Bear went to bed with me with I took my nap but he still isn't up!  Good for him, poor baby.  He's safe and sleeping peacefully.

BK, one more question (even though it's not Ask BK Day), IF (hopefully that'll actually be a "when") you are able to get money to record "What If," would you insist on recording the whole show, or would you make it a single disc recording and not have everything from the show be on the recording?  Just curious.

Hoo and ray to all of us for our new landmark.  Now, it's on to 65 and then 70,000 postings.

Daughter will, most likely, see the show on its closing weekend.  We're getting lovely reports about last night - not everyone loved everything, but overall they really loved most of it, and what people don't love varies from person to person and is the nature of doing a non-themed revue - some songs connect better with some people and not as good with others.  So far, we've got about a half-house tonight and I'm hoping we can get more than that by curtain.

Woo hoo! 60,000 posts!

We are having a dust storm, which is kind of the opposite of a hurricane.

We are also watching Dr. Phil.

That's it.

How did you do that, George?

I went to the page that had that information (the HHW "Home" button), I then hit the "Print Screen" button on my keyboard, called up Microsoft Photo Editor (any graphic editing program will do...once you know how to use it), I went to "Edit" and selected "Paste As New Image" and cropped it to a size that wasn't too big.  I then saved it as a .jpg (probably the most common image format) and attached it to a message.  Simple!

Jennifer because they now remember you as a "regular".  You may have been persistent, but you were nice.

Budapest is such a beautiful city and I have the photos to prove it.  Since I can’t nor do you want me to, post all of them I am having a difficult time deciding which to post.

This sure has been an exciting day! :D
