PAGE THREE DANCE!!

Went back to sleep, got up at eleven, so about six hours of sleep and now I'm having food at Jerry's.

[Jane]

Hey, who is this starlet?

[Amy]

A few years ago, I posted that the company I work for took away Internet access to all entertainment and social networking-type websites. (Those bastards!) Thus I've been very truant here. Since then, I've been trying to figure out a way to get around this obstacle. I finally started reading something about Time Warner Cable "hotspots". Then it took me several months to figure out if I could take advantage of this feature. I can! So, here I sit, about a block away from my office, outside under some trees, sitting on some type of utility grate, about a foot off the ground. The glare it terrible on my lap top! I definitely need some type of screen. Anyway, I'm here!

DR Amy it is nice to see you.

Keith has been playing with my facebook page again.  I don't notice he changes my photo until comments come in.  He then put the photo here.

[Jane]

My father would get the camera out and I would have to pose.

The outfit was my mother's doing after she wore something similar (the hat was hers) to a Halloween party and was a bit hit. 

[Jrand74]

Nice photo DR Jane.

And I shall be off in a few minutes.

What I Did Last Tuesday in Cincinnati:

Finally remembered to go into a Kroger for some Vernors (no apostrophe) ginger ale, which for some reason they now call "ginger soda" (ugh).  But I'd been craving it for, quite literally, the past couple of years, and OMG what a wonderful taste.  Brought back a carton each of regular and diet, to compare, and both are excellent.

Vernors was kind of a special treat growing up in Columbus.  We kept our share of soft drinks at the house, but for some reason my parents would only pick this up occasionally.  My association with it back then involves sipping it on ice on exceptionally hot nights (in those days before air-conditioned houses).  Oddly, my school years in Cleveland carried over that association.  But I love the strong taste of ginger, and since you can generally only find Vernors in the Midwest, it remains a rare treat.  But there's no excuse for that these days, what with online orders and such, and especially for someone like me who drives and visits those states with some regularity.

Apparently its greatest popularity is still in its home state of Michigan, with Ohio and Illinois a close second.  I do remember being thrilled, when spending a couple of summers at the Meadowbrook summer musical festival (Rochester, MI) back in '68-'69, that it could be found everywhere, even in the soft drink dispenser in the school cafeteria.

Well, I should have brought back much more, because it's already disappearing.  I'll do much better next time.  I might even drive out of my way to find it in the plastic bottles which I far prefer to cans.  (Of course I remember it in the original glass bottles, but I'll bet those aren't around.)

Vernors is the best!

Tonight I will be staging - I can't call it choreography - "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat".  So vibes are appreciated.....  I have 18 people to move around the stage....fingers are crossed.

You got 'em!

And I am home from rehearsal and lunch with Rob Berman.  This cast features two of my ROBERTA Collegians and one of the baritones I tried to land for the lead in ROBERTA last year; I lost, LES MIZ won.

[ChasSmith]

LES MIZ always wins.

[elmore3003]

LES MIZ always wins.

Not in my book!

Back from a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich, bathing the motor car (boy, did it need it) and picking up two dozen donuts for the costume and tech people - we've done that twice for the actors and I figured the tech folks deserve it, too.  And happily I got the last chocolate peanut butter thing.  The lady told me again, it's this one jerk from the post office who comes in first thing every morning (first thing being six in the morning) and buying all but a couple of those - she has asked this jerk repeatedly to phone in his order so they can accommodate him and still have some for those who'd like to get - but apparently the jerk can't be bothered to do that.  I may just go over there one fine morning and confront the jerk.

[ChasSmith]

That sounds like a capital idea.

[ChasSmith]

LES MIZ always wins.

Not in my book!

In at least a semi-perfect world, it wouldn't in anybody's book.

[ChasSmith]

So does the jerk buy different quantities every damned day?  He must, or they surely could have adjusted for him by now.  Hell, they should keep half a dozen in the back room till the jerk's taken the rest and gone.

[ChasSmith]

Time for me to get out of here and up to the theater.  Sure could use a chocolate peanut butter thing.  But we've got nothing but Dunkin' around here, and I'm "dieting" right now, anyway.

[John G.]

Good afternoon, all.

Vibes for Elmore.

Stage vibes for JRand.

BK, maybe one day YOU could get there very early and buy out all the donuts so that he doesn't have any.  That'll show him (a Sondheim reference ).

[John G.]

Just got invited to a retirement party for a former boss who was hated by every single person who ever worked under her. Somehow, despite numerous verifiable reports to HR about her flagrantly reprehensible behavior, she lasted 34 years in the job. Now, we're expected to show up to honor her? Best laugh I've had today.

Or buy out the donuts before he does

Congrats on finally snagging one.  I still think if they know he does this every morning they could make extra to put out after he leaves.

I guess I should have continued reading before posting.  It is such an obvious solution.

I know...talk about a missed opportunity.
