AND we have a new script that is only available electronically, so we have been asked to bring our laptops with the script on it.

I would find that quite awkward. Better, I think, to print it out, as you did.

Feel-better vibes to DR Elmore and good health to all.

TTFN.

Thanks, DR Jeanne! I've been working on my Encores! project and pondering dinner. I may go with comfort food: tomato soup and grilled cheese.

I'm feeling very lazy at the moment.

From DR Vixmom:

Quote

perhaps I am a grinch or just poor but I cannot imagine spending $15,000.00 for a dog

You have a big generous heart. I'm sure if you had the money to donate to charity and wanted the dog or a cat, you would spend it.

....or a horse

I expect a unicorn would cost far more than $15,000.00

In my high school we had the option of taking High School Math - and that's what I took. I hated all that stuff - science, math - just not for me and why should I be forced to take something that's not for me - make it an elective.

I had no idea. I took algebra and waited to take geometry at SMCC.

The tree now has lights - only 500. We'll keep the extra strand of 200 in case we have a blowout. We'll do the ornaments tomorrow in the daylight.

Thank you, DR Jane! I could eat some of that right now.

The last class I wanted in high school was calculus and I had no use for trigonometry, so I stopped math after Algebra 2. Because I did, I had to take one semester of math in college.

I also took four years of science in high school (biology, chemistry, anatomy and physics), thinking I could forego it in college. But no, you had to have four semesters of science for a bachelor of arts degree. Then midway through, they changed the rules and you had to take two classes in sequence (a 101 and a 102) and you had to have a lab class, so I ended up with five semesters of science.

I remember very little of it and squeaked through geology lab only because all the lab aides were movie freaks and I was writing movie reviews for the student paper back then.

Billy Jack star Tom Laughlin has also passed away.

If I was a celebrity I would be afraid. They always pass away in threes.

Michael · « **Reply #102 on:** December 15, 2013, 05:10:42 PM »

And I'm afraid it has happened.

Joan Fontaine has also died at the age of 96

Wow. Not a good day for some to get out of bed.

Oh my god. No way.

Tom Laughlin passed away on the 12th & Peter O'Toole yesterday.

Boy, do I need sleep. And this time I'd better get it. Got to rise but not shine at (ready for it?) 5:15 AM, then leave at 6:00 AM to get to the high school that hires me to play in the orchestra for their Christmas concerts and spring musicals. Rehearsal would normally have been today, but was cancelled due to the storm. Concerts are the next three nights. Oy, vey, and gevalt.

We also lost Eleanor Parker and Audrey Totter during the last 3-4 days.

Druxy · « **Reply #108 on:** December 15, 2013, 05:52:51 PM »

And, Don Mitchell, who was on the original IRONSIDE, also died.

That's 6 in less than one week.

I'm sure dear reader Jeanne knows well that I'm not talking about an audience that woo-hoos, that doesn't interest me at all and I don't care for it. But that's not what this was about - this was about a completely dead audience, the worst I've ever seen and I hope to never see one like it again. Today we had a sold out house, mostly elderly, and while they weren't the most vocal, they had great energy, applause was real and sustained and they were great.

Back from dinner at the Macaroni Grill. I really like that place.

And I agree about main school subjects - one science, one regular math, history, and whatever - it's the BS other stuff I loathed then and loathe now, but really it's about the absolutely disgusting amount of homework given today.

bk · « **Reply #114 on:** December 15, 2013, 06:09:37 PM »

Man, a lot of celebrities who are now deader than last night's audience.

bk · « **Reply #115 on:** December 15, 2013, 06:10:11 PM »

Several of these, however, led amazingly long lives - Miss Fontaine well into her 90s and O'Toole at 81.

DR Cillaliz - I did not know (or had forgotten) that you also play the piano!

Yup. Been playing it since I was 5 years old. I don't normally play in public these days, but I used to play in jazz band, accompanied chorus and swing choir in high school and played at some assemblies etc

Good morning, all! 2014 can only be better! I awakened with what I hope is not a stomach virus, but I am clearly under the weather at the moment. Between my gimp leg, a longterm project folding, my latest wound, and my state of mind, 2014 can only be an improvement over the past five months! So much for self pity.

I did sleep really well last night....

So glad you're sleeping well.
