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

Great "Abner" pictures, BK!

Yes, love the Abner photos - most intriguing!

Glad the first dress went so smoothly.

Thank you DR George for the birthday wishes for my niece. My sister said that she did not want to go to sleep last night. And that she was sad this morning that her birthday was over. Both of my nieces think that birthdays are the best days of the year (they even love other people's birthdays).

I am currently reading Diane McBain's autobiography, FAMOUS ENOUGH.

It's a fascinating read; a cautionary tale. I am learning things about my friend of 35+ years that I never knew.

Sunday morning greetings! Fr. Richard excused me from going to Lima today, because I still have relatives in the area and there will be some coming and going here at our house. Eventually, I will drive my cousin Dan to a hotel near the Cincinnati airport where he will stay tonight. He has an early flight back to Japan tomorrow and didn't want anyone to have to drive him to the airport at 4am - very considerate of him!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #12 on:** May 18, 2014, 07:11:00 AM »

Good morning, all.

Slept in rather late. A happy accident. Glad I didn't stay asleep much longer, though. In two hours I'm outta here for that matinee.

Coffee!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2014, 07:11:55 AM »

Wonderful pictures of LI'L ABNER! It looks.......wonderful!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 18, 2014, 07:21:57 AM »

Loved the Abner pictures!

Congrats to THE VIXTER.

DR DRUXY - I saw that the book was on sale, but it seemed a bit pricey.....I am still thinking about it.

Tonight is the TAR Finale. Unfortunately, I don't like any of the teams in the Final Three.

Congratulations to DR The Vixter!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #17 on:** May 18, 2014, 07:26:58 AM »

Congrats to The Vixter! It sounds like she has a good, fun job there, among good, fun people. Very lucky.

I think we talked about this once but it didn't sink in. It's Texas Road House, the national chain? I didn't even know it was a chain until I saw them in a couple of places. We don't have one right here, but I see they're in two places that are half an hour away, and it looks like there's one right where I'm going for that matinee today. I won't be eating there today, but I want to get to one soon.

Good morning, all! I slept very late. Between all the sudden activity of this month, the madness yesterday with Verizon and door keys, not to mention the burgeoning insanity of the Man from Philadelphia who's working my last nerve this week, I'm ready for a vacation. This week, I'm thinking about my belongings out of Toyland and telling the Man from Philadelphia to lose my number. First, I have to mix ROBERTA and invoice him for the work. Something's going on with him at present and he's driving everyone mad.

Verizon tells me they cannot credit me; they know I'm owed a credit since their inventory shows that they have one more cell phone of the type I bought - since I paid for two - but they have some cockamamie reason why they simply can't issue a credit; it will destroy my phone records, so I'm going to get a reimbursement check or something. Then I'll flap my arms and fly to the moon. If there's no action on this by Friday, I will issue a dispute with my bank.

I did accomplish everything I needed to do at Toyland yesterday, I canned all of the Merry Widow score, printed out the vocal books for this week's concert and bind them, worked on a thank you gift for Rob Berman - I would still be lying here praying for work if not for him; the Man from Philadelphia has not been really helpful butI won't beg him for anything - and I finally took care of the door key, thanks to the help of the doorman who was a saint yesterday. So, I will hopefully meet the Dublin friends I missed yesterday around 1:00 before they fly home.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 18, 2014, 07:44:34 AM »

I have some work here on an old score I wrote in 1985, and then I will hopefully chill out. I have some reading to do on Franz Lehar and "The Merry Widow," for my round of notes, and then I hope to watch PHILOMENA, which I've wanted to see for months.

I like what I see of the LI'L ABNER scenery and costumes. Wish I could see it.

DR singdaw, I'm glad you are feeling better!

DR vixmom, please tell the vixter I send my congratulations!

I had sad news from my brother Randy this morning; my dad's 50-year-old company, Piping of Ohio, is no more. Everything was auctioned off last week, and I'm grateful that a company begun to pay for my schooling, since my Dad worried that he couldn't put me through college, supported my brothers for as long as it did. Randy wrote that the auction did very well, better than expected, and paid off all the existing debts.

I don't know what Lady M will do now, with nothing to bitch at JoAnn about.

Now, if we could only sell that Oho property!

Thanks, DR ChasSmith! I need sanity vibes, lottery vibes, real estate vibes, and health vibes! If I were a horse I'd be shot and a can of dogfood.

I really want to win the lottery, get this recording project back on its feet and out of the hands of the Man from Philadelphia, help out my family and friends, and know I am fiscally sound until I keel over.

Ben · « **Reply #26 on:** May 18, 2014, 08:13:32 AM »

Hey, Larry, it's sad that your Father's business is no more but at least some of the debts are out of the way. Now if only your brothers can sell the property. Perhaps now that the business is gone they will see the light and dispose of the land.

Good thoughts to you dear friend.

Ginny · « **Reply #27 on:** May 18, 2014, 08:52:20 AM »

DR Elmore, sorry to hear the news from here...

I'm signing off now, because my sister is on her way here and Mary Linda will be soon. Eventually the cousins will show up, too.

Bye for now!

From DR Jennifer:

Quote

Well library books and review books come before books and e-books I own, which is why I have such a problem getting to books I own. It's funny because I read so much but cannot keep up.

I believe we suffer from the same problem, except that I don't review books.

My issues of the New York Review of Books continue to stack up.

From DR TCB:

with a cabin available for $369.00 per person.

WOW! Was that an inside cabin? Even so...fantastic price. I'm sorry reality says you can't do this. What we do for our pets. Because of Echo we came home early and I missed seeing Vienna. The only reason we didn't cancel the entire trip was because we wanted to see our children.

If I remember correctly you have cruised Alaska before-yes?
