Just finished a freelance article. Shouldn't have taken it on, but the writing exercise was good. And so will the pittance that goes with it. It was about the Palm Restaurant, so the research was truly tasty.

Sunday afternoon greetings! We made it all the way to Lima today and everyone was glad to have a service and coffee hour. There was a rather long vestry meeting, after which Richard and I went to lunch at Panera and headed home. A quick stop at Target and here we are. I'm ready for a nap.

Watching the Ice Dancers on NBCS. I do like seeing more than just the top 5

We got to Panera just n time for me to fire up my iPad to see Meryl & Charlie.

And, DR Cillaliz, we'd come to your concert if we lived nearby!

I'm going to see How to Succeed... with friends Dennis and Carol. It's at the Olney Theatre in Olney, Maryland. I've never been there. I guess it's about an hour away. Looking forward to seeing George Dvorsky in the show.

What roles are Dennis and Carol playing?

Today is a big musical day for me: my first Sunday in my new church gig, and then singing Melchior this afternoon in a production of Amahl and the Night Visitors.

I am still recuperating from being sick this past few weeks; I hope my throat holds out!

SlipSlide, I think I asked this before, but maybe I missed your response; but why are you doing AMAHL in February?

I am getting used to receiving an onslaught of e-mails for everything from Depends Undergarments to assisted living centers; but this past week I have received over a dozen messages for New and / or Used RV's. Strange.

Looking forward to playing in our AACB concert. No family coming despite me asking my brother to bring my parents...the first time I've ever asked him to do something like that. BUT, Paul and another friend are using my family passes, so I will have someone in the audience for me. Having no one there was really getting old

I would be there if I could, Cilla. I'll bet we all would be there.

Just got a fun e-mail from the director/teacher of the high school production of The Brain in the UK, telling me the show was a rousing success and the kids had a blast doing it. Here's a photo - more in tomorrow's notes - but I'm always happy when my signature Brain hand move is retained. It's the first thing I thought of going way back to the very first staged reading at LACC and it's been in all my productions since, even when Adam Cates came on to really choreograph the rest of the show.

How truly fun for you, Bruce. Did the email give any details of the production? I see a guitar in the band, but can't quite make out the other instruments.

Is this where DR Doug has been?

A Buffet For The Judges is the title of my new mystery novel.

I think it's quite a good title, actually.

Word of the Day CHIRK

Defined, as used in the following example (any resemblance to persons living, dead, undead or otherwise is unintended except for purposes of parody and/or satire, whichever comes first):

Zsa Zsa and Charo are in a Beverly Hills buffet and are shocked, shocked at running into one another.
Zsa Zsa: "Oh dahling, you look vunderful." [Said with cold, mechanical indifference to Charo].
[Zsa Zsa disappears into the buffet crowd looking to reunite with the surviving cast from her appearance on "Mister Ed" in 1962].
Charo: Gracias, [waits for Zsa Zsa to get further away] . . . . chee es such a chirk!

{With many apologies to the dramaturgists out there; it was, perhaps, a long way to go for a chirky, cheap joke.}

Is DR Dan's inner playwright surfacing?

So many stereotypes associated with seniorhood! I don't suppose there's much that's positive?

Thank you all for the Vibes!
DR Dan M, "Lovely To Look At" was indeed a lucky omen. We got off to a shaky start with people arriving and my having to go down to the lobby to let them in. I finally figured, stay down here and let the boys who've arrived visit and chat. By noon everyone was there. I hadn't seen Patrick, our leading man, since Dublin, and it was nice to see him and Rob, my two traveling companions who made my hellish physical condition in Dublin s much easier.

So, Rob had to stand to conduct, Michael Marcotte stood, and after 90 minutes of rehearsal, Tally and Patrick went off to their matinees, and the seven boys, who really sound good, all had chairs. It was a really good rehearsal and I think we're heading in for great sessions next week.

And, after a long day, it's good to be home.

Last night we watched the wonderful first episode of SHERLOCK. Tonight we plan to watch the never aired, original pilot episode. It should be interesting.

Someone at the gym lent us his first season DVDs and we lent him our Basil Rathbone SHERLOCK HOLMES set.
