Well, you've read the notes, the notes were unplugged, and now it is time for you to post until the unplugged cows come home.

All the birthday festivities yesterday sound quite fun and yes, yummilicious.

I am disappointed that we don't have a photo from yesterday of a certain Mr. Potter with a certain DR George.

What I hate about amplification (in the theatre or otherwise) is that you lose the directionality. Everyone's voice is coming from everywhere.

I worked at a Barnes and Noble one Christmas and they played the Elf on the Shelf theme every 15 minutes or so. You could be in the back of the store on a different floor and yet you could feel that wretched jingle to the marrow of your bones. After eight hours, I felt as if I needed the wine and medication, not the elf.

TOD: I think the music has become too loud and as a result the singers have had to in order to get the lyrics across. I would like a little less volume on just about everything. And I don't like the sight of those head mics. I don't like seeing the pastor wear one in church.

Good morning, all! I have physical therapy first thing this morning. It's no longer at 11:00, and it's now at 10:15, so I'll leave here around 9:30.  Following that, I will come back here, change and get ready to head into midtown to see my friend Craig, whom i've not seen since 1972. At that point, he was a senior. longer a theatre major and applying to med schools. We'd been friends since he was a freshman and I a graduate assistant. The big joke between us was, if there were really vilified, pathetically inept horror film anywhere, we had to see it.

Since then, he married, had a son, separated, remarried, had several more children, became the head of the pediatrics dept. in a hospital in Fargo, and now he lives in Dallas. For 30 years, since I moved to NYC,  we've talked and joked about his coming to visit. I'm so happy he's here, I can hardly walk!

At least it's not a death bed reunion.

Thanks for sharing that holiday horror story, DR John G. I feel your pain.

Jeez, Citibank has managed to take a simple request to transfer money from my IRA account to my checking account and screwed it up royally over a 2-week period. Do I believe it will finally land in my checking account tomorrow, as they assured me this morning, last Friday, and last Thursday? In a pig's eye.

Glad you're having a reunion with your friend, Elmore. Any grizzly horror movies on the agenda?

It doesn't bother me that actors are miked.  I'd rather be able to hear them than not.

Good morning, all.

Fine news all around in the notes.  Sounds like a near perfect day was had.  Perhaps even a perfect day!  But I really wonder what was up re the show being purportedly sold out, and then not sold out.

Great TOD, too.  More later on that.

No. Just meet him and his wife, catch up, maybe go to Joe Allen for dinner, depending on how I'm walking.  We do still laugh over a late night tv film, THE AWFUL DR ORLOFF: Orloff was really AWFUL! 

Craig was in a couple of musicals I wrote at school: DEVILS OF CHICAGO and HANSEL AND GRETEL, which was not for children.

I'm blaming the wine: too much last night and I cannot get motivated or moving, so I've moved therapy tomorrow to 3:30.

Monday morning greetings!  It's a gray day here in SW Ohio, but warm enough to be melting a lot of the ice & snow that accumulated over the past 3 days.

Here's another cloud over our heads today:

Ohio's Largest EMS Providers Close...

Our son Rob worked for one of these companies in Cincinnati.  He received the news via phone at 10pm Friday evening.
