Mary was a wonderful woman - worked with her on Hey Love (which I think I had elmore orchestrate a little for the recording) - she was a doll.  I'd heard a few days ago she wasn't doing well and at eighty-four better for her to be at peace - a long and wonderful life.

I wish I'd done "Hey Love." Lanny did it, I think.

I've got the fan blowing in the bathroom to dry the final coat of pain. I want to get things back in place,

I listened to the Intermezzo from DE, had a little cry.

Time to think about some dinner.

What you need, DR Elmo, is...

A little song...

A little dance...

A little seltzer down your pants...!

I got another supervisor on the phone, she acknowledged receipt of the letter faxed and said now they would do another search for the package.  And I went BERSERK.  I told her I was the one guy she did not want to do this with, that I would launch a class action lawsuit and that I had hundreds if not thousands who would go along with it, and that I wasn't getting off the phone until she gave me an exact date the check was being cut and sent.  She heard me loud and clear, apologized on behalf of UPS, and said the new search would only take one day and that the check would definitely be cut on Tuesday and sent - and that she'd just put a rush on it so that I would have it in seventy-two hours after they post it.  I wrote all of that down.

Ridiculous. I hope this is the end for you and the check arrives soon. Have you checked online to see if anyone is selling the CDs for cheap?

I also find this ridiculous.  I guess they really do not want to write people cheques. I can't believe that anyone would need to call more than once.

Otherwise, it will be very ugly. And if it's tense, we'll accomplish nada!

I spent yesterday trying to take care of some thankless errands. I've never enjoyed errands much, but they needed to be done.

Is it generally known that "ordinary" 60 watt household light bulbs are now halogen? I didn't know that. I know that halogen is known to be superior light and I knew about the law that prohibits some (which, I don't know) incandescent bulbs, but the halogens I was familiar with were primarily track-light bulbs and of a strange size and shape.

This is so sad: Richard Rodgers daughter Mary ihas died. I knew she'd been ill with cancer, but this is really upsetting.
http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Broadway-Composer-Mary-Rodgers-Guettel-Passes-Away-at-83-20140626#.U6yTNmcbhMI

She and I were both huge fans of "Bye and Bye" from Dearest Enemy, and when I restored the score in 2002, I wrote the Act Two Intermezzo as a love letter to her. She was always very kind to me.

I'm very sorry to hear this.  When I went to see Dawn Powell's "Walking Down Broadway" at the Mint Theatre in 2005, Mary Rodgers Guettel was in the audience.  She looked so familiar to me, but I couldn't place her.  When I heard her talking during intermission I recognized her voice from TV documentaries about her father.

I've been having fun putting things away. It took me forever to find the bathroom trash bin. I could not think where I'd stored it. I've got about 30 years of expired drugs to pitch out.

Good evening.

I overslept this morning. I got up at 4:30. A.M.

I had UPS package my mother's sewing machine to send to my sister. They packed it. They charged me $98. And they broke it.
