Page Six!

Patricia Routledge did appear in a TV (?)  version of the production as it appeared in Central Park (not to be confused with the full-blown movie version where Angela Lansbury performed the role).

It's a videotape of the production in Central Park, DR FJL.

I have this somewhere on DVD and the film version on VHS  I don't think it was ever released as a DVD  I LOVED the Boradway production I have never been able to see a Shakespeare int eh Park production

I remember La Crepe well.   There was one in the 40's in the theatre area, wasn;t there?   


There was a similar place called Magic Pan on 57th Street.

The weather today was very nice, sunny and hot.

Yes, before La Crepe there was The Magic Pan, at least for us.

Good afternoon. I had a nice day outside at the arboretum. It's not bad in the shade.

Poor Lizard, sweet Wae-Ling.

Yes  my then boy friend and I would always go to that one whenever we came into see a show (when Broadway shows were still accessible to starving  college students)

they late had a couple of locations on Long Island

apparently a much nicer day than the greater earless lizard

Have you noticed that it's often the better eateries that close, while the rather mediocre chains survive? One reason may be that the chains are well-capitalized. They also have the advantage of being better known, and thus, predictable. If you agree that the better eateries generally use better ingredients, which tend to be more expensive, then they're more at risk when commodity prices rise.

DR John G, your insights? Other DRs?

I think the chains survive because a growing number of people expect consistency no matter where they are. I'm not a fan of that.

There are so many reasons restaurants don't make it, though. Some of the family places don't survive because of something that happens outside the scope of the restaurant. It could be a family illness, divorce or fight. It could be they lose interest. I've dealt with so many.

It's just sad because we do form attachments to places, to the people there and to the food. I would love to have some of Nancy's Thai food again.

I checked out the kindle sale.  Most of the books I would have wanted I already read.  I was tempted to purchase "I Know This Much is True" by Wally Lamb because it is close to 900 pages.  Since my library has it I put a hold on it & will hope for the best. 

Looking at the book I downloaded on the Kindle App it isn't doesn't look as good as a B & N book or even from my library.  I'll see when I finally get around to reading the book I purchased.  For now the library books keep coming in at a rather fast rate.

That is my favorite of Lamb's books.

No one ever attends another party of Susan's

I think I'd rather eat a loafer than her sandwich loaf.

Thunder and torrential rain here at the moment...

We had that tonight too!!!  I think we must be up to about 14 inches of rain this month. We usually have about 3.5

Some friends threw a graduation party for me this afternoon. Quite fun. Bought a pack of strip steaks from Costco, which we grilled. Love that flavor.

The rest of the afternoon was just sitting around and talking. Very nice.

I went to a Fur-stival at the SC Animal Adoption and Rescue center  aka the pound today.   The silent auction items were so good I kept bidding on too many and got most of them.  But I got some really cool stuff and only a few dog things I'll need to give someone else.

  I love the fact that you take advantage of all the wonderful activities around your town

Yesterday I said something I shouldn't have about an issue in my family.  Luckily it seems to be cleared up today.  I have to remember "Not my Circus. Not my monkeys"  I actually told my brother to stop telling me things about this issue until it's totally resolved.   I'd rather not know than say what I think when it's definitely not welcomed

[singdaw]

DR vixmom - so glad that is over and done with for you!!!

That's been the plan the past couple years.  Instead of traveling, I'm getting my entertainment here.   There are an amazing number of things to do here if you just do them.

I can't wait for the 4th of July.  I'm going to be in a parade in a nearby time and several of us will be playing "Yankee Doodle" on our piccolos while riding down the street in the back of a pick-up truck.  Now if that's not an Iowa 4th of July I don't know what is

[Cillaliz]

And instead of buying plane tickets....I'm donating to things like the Humane Society and other organizations I believe in

I wish I could do likewise.

Started watching Catskills on Broadway. Sadly the jokes haven't changed and haven't aged either. Louise Duart is doing jokes about Prince Charles, Madonna and Cher while impersonating Joan Rivers.

[vixmom]

DR vixmom - so glad that is over and done with for you!!!

biopsy vibes appreciated

And it's sending me to bed.

Good night, all.

 be there to cheer you on!

Well, it (the family situation) was unpleasant.  I didn't know how it was going to resolve itself or if it was going to resolve itself, so I was going to go out to eat with Paul. He wanted to go to the opening of the sound garden (quite cool) at a local non profit music school...it's a cool outdoor space...but when it was time to go to dinner he wanted to go with a big group including someone I don't particularly like or get along with, so I claimed a headache and came home.   It was a bad enough day without having to be civil to someone I wasn't in the mood to be civil to

Thanks!  It's in the Ice Cream Capitol of the World, so I'm sure there will be ice cream involved.  I'll play for ice cream any day
