[Jane]

Greetings from Washington National Airport !

I cannot keep up with your travels   Wishing they are all safe and easy!

[Matthew]

I saw a local production of The Color Purple last night.  I didn't fall asleep, which is always good.  However, I didn't love it.  I just don't think I like the musical.  The production was fine, I think I may have missed a lot of words because the playback was a little hot.  Also, what happens when you cast a show that is ethic-specific, you end up getting people who can do the job (who's experience is a church choir or karaoke, but sing really well) but lack diction, etc.  I think I just don't like the musical itself.  I need to watch the movie, which I don't think I've seen. 

[Jane]

Oh my!!

Sweet!

[Matthew]

Congrat to bk and his crew for a successful run of Li'l Abner !!!!

[Jane]

Is there a test to determine whether you had chickenpox as a kid?  I was pretty sure I did, but my dad thought we didn't get it.  But he's unreliable on that kind of trivia (my mom would have known exactly who had what, and when), so I'm wondering if the medical establishment can answer that for me.

Yes, it is called a Vacinne titer test.  You can do it for any vaccination.  When a vaccination came out for German Measles I had my father give it to me so I would be safe when I became pregnant.  After Bryan was born I made a new friend, along with her baby, who's doctor did a titer on her and found out she wasn't protected.  I had my father test me and, to his great surprise, I needed to be re-vaccinated. 

Before Bryan began medical school he had to titer for all of his vaccinations.  I was impressed.

[Jennifer]

DR Jane I am not sure what age the vaccine is given in Canada now. But I do know that there is only one shot here and two are given in the US.

[Jane]

Keith kindly spoke to the service department when they called about my car this morning.  He was talking so long I finally left the room fearing it was bad news.

After the call Keith said I lucked out   The fix is about the same as the diagnostic test, plus they recommended a few other things.  Not bad considering my car is 9 years old though it has less than 65,000 miles on it.

DR Jane I am not sure what age the vaccine is given in Canada now. But I do know that there is only one shot here and two are given in the US.

Interesting.  Is this your younger or older niece?  I hope the other one doesn't catch it. 

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - actually I woke up at eight and just stayed in bed.  I know have stuff to do before moseying on over to LACC around 12:15.

[ChasSmith]

BREAK-A-LEG VIBES for a wonderful final sold out day in Dogpatch, U.S.A.

[Kerry]

I visited my mother-in-law (well, EX mother-in-law) at the nursing home today.  She was wearing one diamond earring and one pearl earring, so I told her to keep the pearl earring on her downstage ear.

DR Matthew, skip the movie and read the book. It's brilliant and heartbreaking.  Michael Korie, who wrote GRAY GARDENS, turned me onto the book about 1981, and it's absolutely wonderful.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

More congrats to BK on Abner.

[Jeanne]

A big THANKS for the birthday wishes to BK, Ben, JRand, Mike, Chas, Sing, Kerry, Kevin, Larry, Druxy, Jennifer, Ginny, Fred, John G, Jane, and Matthew. Much appreciated.

[Jeanne]

Jane, good news on your car!

I'll be buying a used car. I don't drive enough to need a new model and even late-model used cars are astonishingly costly. I have no enthusiasm for it.

[Jeanne]

Larry, I'm glad to hear that your ROBERTA session went so well. It's time your luck turned.

SMOOTH SAILING VIBES!!

[Jeanne]

It's Tap Dance Day? I used to love to tap. I may have to view a bit of the stuff in honor of the occasion.

[Jeanne]

Travel vibes to Kevin.

SMOOTH SAILING VIBES!!

Thanks, Birthday Girl! I hope you are having a wonderful day.

[Jeanne]

You know you're getting old when you look forward to a nice nap.

Hello from Western New York!   

DR Kate and I are watching Il Volo, the Italian tenors who toured with Barbra in 2012.

[elmore3003]

You know you're getting old when you look forward to a nice nap.

LOL! I was just thinking about a nap.

And the word of the day is: KICKSHAW!

I knew his brother, Rick.

Another vote for the book. My experience with the show is limited to cast recording, which I'm not fond of. It seemed as if every time they were starting to develop a song, they stopped and moved on to something else. I heard that for the recent London production, they addressed some of that in a rewrite, but I don't know if it worked.

[John G.]

The recital is over. Our snippet went by quickly, but I got to see some amazing kids, who have been doing this for a long time. They were great. I am in awe. Wish I had started at their age.

[TCB]

Act Two was OKAY....we're getting there.  Then suddenly SIX people tell me they can't come to rehearsal Friday because that's when there is a graduation ceremony.

WHERE WAS THIS DATE ON THEIR G/D AUDITION SHEETS?

I was planning a Dress Rehearsal that night, but what's the point?  All of the good work a few people are doing is being undermined and negated by some idiots - most of whom I would NEVER have put in the show if I had had ANYONE else.....useless.

The show will never be what it could be.....NEVER.

I put down all of my conflicts, and you still canned me!

[TCB]

Happy Birthday,

DR Jeanne!

TOD:

I'm currently reading several books about the subject of my next play in my THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS series.

Compared to the other plays, nine of which were one character monologues, this one will be an "epic".

It has 5 characters.

The Marx Brothers?

Saturday morning greetings!  Richard and I have been out for a neighborhood walk and I'm about to take some odds 'n' ends over to the AAUW garage sale venue.  The sale is in 3 weeks and it's a great opportunity to get rid of stuff we no longer need.

I have an entire storage shed I could bring for your sale.
