Greetings from Toyland! I had an easy taxi ride down since I had a lot of things to schlep. The taxi driver was friendly and that made the ride even better.

I actually watched the last group of skaters for the women last night.  I also think that it will be interesting to see who they choose to send to the Olympics.  I sort of wish that all 4 could go.  It seems crazy that they can only send 3.  And it seems crazy that the skaters don't know if they made the team when it is only a few weeks away. I feel like they just decide at least a couple of months before.

I know it's not Ask BK Day, but I'll forget by Wednesday.

You mentioned that you'll be recording the revue. Will you be using the original cast or the replacement players?

Today I should finish up learning my lines.....tomorrow is the 10 hour rehearsal and block the WHOLE play day.  My schedule starts at 6:15 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m.

As I was looking at it, I saw my name scheduled for a scene I didn't know about....PAGE 10.....so I looked in all copies of the script I have been sent, and finally found it....I limp on in a group.....watch someone die...and then limp off.  At least there are NO additional lines.

DR SINGDAW thanks for the MONKEY'S UNCLE clip....I have been kind of avoiding Annette clips since she died, but it was nice to see.

Brian Wilson wrote in his book that they guys were kind of nervous about recording with Annette because they NEVER recorded with anyone else, but that they all had a great time.  It may have been the only official single they recorded where someone else got top line billing.....  The single was released on Annette's SURFIN' HITS album on Buena Vista, I don't know if it was ever released on a Beach Boys album.

THE MONKEY'S UNCLE was also written by Tom & Helen August who were just coming back to the states after having been blacklisted during the HUAC nightmare.....

The men's free skate is this afternoon.... I also watched the final group of women skaters.....

The committee does have a tough choice.....although since Ashley Wagner's skate at World's is the reason we can enter three skaters instead of two in the Olympics, I think she should get a slot....  There are a couple of others that are pretty much useless to me - whether untried in International competition, or too many times melting down under pressure - so Grace, Ashley, and MAYBE Polina.....

Good decision:

Ashley Wagner was chosen over 2010 Olympian Mirai Nagasu for the third spot despite finishing one place behind Nagasu in Boston on Saturday.

Wagner will join U.S. champion Gracie Gold and silver medalist Polina Edmunds on the Olympic Team.

I am happy to report that the various PAL format discs acquired over the years from friends in England and Australia work perfectly in our new region-free DVD player!

Good thing you kept them even when you couldn't play them.  What fun to watch them all now

Also from yesterday



My favorite line:

Fox: It's only with the heart that one can see clearly. What's essential, is invisible to the eye.

LOL, I just said that out loud to the cats when I saw "The Little Prince".  I need to find out if Gabe has that book.

I just tried organic chia seeds for the first time (sprinkled them over my breakfast). It's apparently all the latest craze.


They're pretty innocuous.

Thanks for the info....I was about to go looking for it online.  I agree with that decision although Mirai was really good.  I'm glad Polina made it, she did a great job  and earned her spot.

FEEL BETTER VIBES TO BK~~~~~~~~ I was always told to drink or eat something clear or that you can see through until you know how your stomach is taking it.  Don't know if that's true, but it's what my mom told me :)

Well, I've decided not to give up flute choir so I'm leaving in the next 20 minutes or so for the drive to Le Mars....the ice cream capitol of the world.  I love to add that.  And, of course, I'll make a stop at the ice cream capitol itself and get a big cone .   I LOVE ICE CREAM

VIXMOM I was smiling from ear to ear as I read about your day yesterday.  You work so hard and do so many things for your family, church and community that you deserve to have a wonderful day with good friends, good food, good theater and unexpected kindness.
