DR George, you look like you are wearing several big scoops of raspberry ice cream.

Cat got your tongue, Sour Mash?


Yes. This one:

I was out in the rain and wind earlier, taking Mom to a check-up with her doctor.  On Monday we're going to the hospital for her to have an esophogram to try to find out why she's having trouble swallowing.

I hope the drink isn't too difficult for her.  At least the test should be easy.

Halloween:

Hoards of kids, going door to door, disguised, so you can’t tell who they are, begging for food. Strange Holiday.
 


Good grief!  My Mom has been reincarnated as DR DRuxy. That was exactly the sentiment my mom expressed every year about Halloween.  She always got us, or made us, costumes and she always allowed us to go Trick or Treating, but she hated the whole idea.

Strangely enough, once I had outgrown the T or T part of the holiday, my mother suddenly fell in love with the holiday.  She would keep track of how many kids came to the door and what the best costumes were.  A complete change of attitude from the begging that my sister and I were doing when we were younger.

The new trailer for "Sally Struthers IS Dolly!"
http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/First-Trailer-For-Sally-Struthers-In-New-HELLO-DOLLY-National-Tour-20131031


I am speechless!  She is the first Dolly I ever saw who needed help down the stairs at the Harmonia Gardens

Maybe it was filmed during a dress rehearsal and she just hadn't learned to navigate the stairs, yet.

She looked like she didn't want to go down those stairs-lol

I like Halloween....and when I was more social....or doing more theatre through the WHOLE year and not just the summer - I usually attended some parties....

My favorite costumes have been (none when I was little) when former DR EVIL KURT and I went as Titanic victims....with our faces blue and white....black turtlenecks with RMS TITANIC stenciled on them, and our Crew Members Caps and name tags.

And then of course when I wore my tailcoat and vest and bow tie and white gloves...and carried a cabbage patch dolls....going as OF  COURSE   - the Valet of the Dolls.

G-R-O-A-N  Nice!

It reminder her of when you and your sister were young.

My neighbor Steve brought my mail up to me. The gossip on the third floor is that the elevator needs a new part, and this could be weeks.

We lost power this afternoon just about when I needed to walk down to the mailbox.  I took a walk before collecting the mail since it is a beautiful perfect Halloween.

These days nothing for my Mom is easy, DR Jane.

This is a professional company, right?  Not impressed...

It seems like a simple thing for someone to do until the elevator is fixed.  If I lived in your building and you didn't let me do it my feelings would be hurt so you wouldn't be beholden to me.

The new trailer for "Sally Struthers IS Dolly!"
http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/First-Trailer-For-Sally-Struthers-In-New-HELLO-DOLLY-National-Tour-20131031

That was horribly produced. The first image of her has her trying not to trip over the red dress as she comes down the stairs. And she doesn't seem to move a lot while everybody around her gives and gives and gives. It kinda reminds me of the SCTV spoof of Mame in which the chorus is flying through the air with all kinds of movements and then you see Lucille Ball (Catharine O'Hara), sitting in a chair and smoking a cigarette. On cue, she belches out the word Mame and you can feel, in that one word, the energy drain from everything around her.
