Good night, all.

[John G.]

Good evening. I was out the door this morning before the sun rose. I saw a bobcat and a bald eagle. Not a bad way to start a Monday.

I saw a bald-chested cockatoo, who has been screaming most of the night, while I've been trying to write. DOes that count?

LOL John.

We just finished watching a wonderful movie, now waiting to read the review.

Bruce, I forgot to mention earlier how glad I am for your daughter that her ordeal is over.  I hope her mouth feels comfortable and that she is pleased with the results.

Not quite comfortable yet - it will be a process over the next month or so.

Had a fun Kritzerland rehearsal and then went to the other rehearsal, which was also fun.

Good morning, all.

Had a cat scan this morning, which was no fun. But hopefully the results will be good. I won't know for awhile. I had to reschedule the doctor's appointment. That's not until Jan. 20.

~~~Good Test Results for John!!~~~

Do any DR"S utilize the library to borrow books and DVD"S?

I actually work for a library, so I do...and I download books onto my Kindle from the library.

In olden times, when I thought it was really something to find scores on eBay, I thought I was pretty hot stuff to "win" a copy of CARRIE.  Which of course I knew nothing about.  Except that it was "legendary".

Oy!!!

Flipping through it, I could hardly believe what I was seeing.  I knew then that I'd been the greatest sucker born on that fateful day in 1949...

I did to!!!   Now you can find a pdf of it online without much work.   When I think about how much I paid for that and the bootleg CD, all I think about is how young and stupid I was.  (probably still might be!)

A friend of mine used to trade bootlegs and things and about 12 or so years ago he got a copy of the complete vocal score to "Carrie."  He just loved the idea that he could get it, that someone would (I think) just give him a copy, when he really didn't want it himself.  He gave it to me.  I should still have it and it should be in a box somewhere in my garage.

I saw the opera  of THE INNOCENTS on PBS many years ago (under the bok title of THE TURN OF THE SCREW).  It was pretty darn creepy, but nothing compared to the film with Deobrah Kerr.

When I was going to college at Western Washington University (which is not very far from the US/Canadian border), we used to go up to Vancouver to see the Vancouver Opera's final dress rehearsal.  We got to see Britten's "The Turn of the Screw" for only $5 Canadian!  It was one of the most riveting theatrical/operatic experiences of my life.  The whole show was incredible.  The set was almost nothing, but they had you from the very beginning with the singing and acting.

Do any DR"S utilize the library to borrow books and DVD"S?

I basically watch all my dvds this way. My library gets most new releases. And it is free to borrow.

Does your library get the old classics?  I wonder if it has "The Uninvited" with Ray Milland.

My library does...we have six copies, all are checked out or are on their way to fill holds.

Mine has it on order and already 64 requests for it.

Wow!
