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

Last night, I ushered for a local (semi-professional) production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." They held the house for about five minutes, so it all started a little late at about 8:05 pm. It was a great show! I'd never seen the whole thing, but I really enjoyed...as much as one can enjoy a story with as much angst and anger and yelling as this show has.

It was long...it ended at 11:30! However, to me it really didn't seem like it took that long. What may have helped was the coffee that I had at the first intermission. That perked me up for the rest of the show and kept me alert. I don't really like coffee, so I have to add a lot of sweetener and cream (half-and-half, really...but good enough). I was alert and was able to pay attention and really did like the show and the acting and the set and the costumes.

My friend Russ played Big Daddy and he was quite formidable. The actor playing Brick was very attractive and the only one who wasn't quite loud enough throughout the show. He acted very well, but just didn't project as much as everyone else did. The woman playing Maggie was also very good. I had forgotten that the whole first act, which lasts more than an hour, is practically nothing but her monologue with a just few lines from some other people. I couldn't imagine having that kind of role.

Tonight is their last performance. It was a good run.

Today, I'm going to go to work for a few hours (just to make up some time), and then go to my parents' to visit and for dinner.

I don't remember Mork and Mindy very much, but I agree with Twin Peaks and Lost. I would also add Private Practice and Scandal. I stopped watching Private Practice about a year before it ended and I really got fed up with Scandal a few weeks ago. The relationship between Olivia and Fitz is just ridiculous and I'm through watching it. If the show were just about her job and company and what she does as a "fixer," it would/could be pretty good, but all the relationship issues have "gotten on my last nerve," as my supervisor says.

Re the books. I for one don't mind if it takes a little longer to get the special edition. Don't rush if you don't have to.

After the first season they dumped Mindy's family and brought on younger characters. They realized what they did and brought them back in Season 3, but the damage was done. There was some bright moments when Jonathan Winters came on the show.

Thanks for the info, Mike. I don't remember that, but things like that have happened before...and since.

Well, I have to go to bed. I do want to actually get some sleep.

Good night, Mike and guests.

Saturday morning greetings! Today is Christopher's & Kyra's wedding day and I'm up way earlier than necessary.

That is all.

We're seeing Hairspray this afternoon and then dinner at Olive Garden.

I spent the morning downloading the final updates for Windows XP. The computers out here are old and they have no plans to replace them. I told them they could get a good laptop with Windows 7 or 8.1 but they don't want to go that far.

Support for XP ends in a couple of weeks. The world won't end but we shall see what happens in the Intersphere. If there is any increase in hacking and viral mischief I may mention it to them again.

Yesterday was a delightful day. As agreed, David (Richard's brother) and his wife called us when they were finished admiring the Liberty Bell and we met them at Betsy Ross' house for the tour. Walked from there to Elfreth's Alley, the oldest continually inhabited street in America, which we can see from our room. Next was Christ Church, where the likes of George Washington and John Adams worshipped. Next stop was David & Kathy's hotel where we left them with some of their Cincinnati friends and we walked on to Reading Terminal Market. Had lunch and walked up and down the aisles and took a taxi home.

Philly is a wonderful city.

Have fun at the wedding Ginny.

By the time we were back here we'd received word that all the driving parties from Ohio had arrived safely and the ones staying here (Lauren & Jim) came up for a little visit. Then it was time to get ready for the rehearsal dinner and meet sister-in-law Jayne in the lobby. We had a wonderful time there while all of Christopher's Palmer cousins met for dinner a block away. Those young folks were in for the night before their parents, but we WERE back in time for me to see the second halves of the last two Sweet Sixteen games.

Thanks, DR Ben, and you have fun at HAIRSPRAY!
