Thanks, Jane!  I'm leaving now for the repair shop.

Until later.

We are sitting on our little private patio.  Keith is having a beer and sharing photos & videos from our wonderful day on FB.  I am enjoying a tropical fresh fruit punch with rum.

I am home from Luke's Lobsters, and the laundry is in the washers.  It was lovely to spend some time with DR Ginny and Richard and wish them a safe trip to Ohio tomorrow

I need a nap but i'm stuck with the laundry for the nonce.

While it's not a nice, fresh banana, I just finished a package of Keebler's nice, fresh peanut butter and cheese crackers.

Back from a Cobb salad and a bagel.  No packages today, yet.  Have to go to the bank at some point, although that point may be tomorrow morning.

I woke up to an e-mail from the parents of the fellow who is the musical director of the And the World Goes Round recording.  I knew they were doing this, taking an ad in the LA Times to trumpet their son, as a birthday present to him.  The ad was not run by me for approval, even though it should have been.  I would have suggested they attribute the quotes included, although since a couple of them are not from actual reviewers perhaps that's why they didn't.  I would also have more than suggested that since everyone's names are in this ad, including their attorney's, it might have been nice to include the name of the person who not only produced the CD but without whose involvement the CD could and would never have happened.  But what do I know?  And yes, this is the kind of thing I've been dealing with for over a year-and-a-half now.

Today, I received a DVD in the mail.  On it was FLORENCE HENDERSON'S CHRISTMAS BUNNY (hopefully not the same as THE BROWN BUNNY), Johnny Whitaker as THE LITTLEST ANGEL, THE NATIVITY, and (Wait for it!) A CHILD IS BORN.  Yes, my friends, the  same A CHILD IS BORN that BK released on CD two years ago, but this time - with pictures!!

This play aired only twice, that I can find verification, in 1954 and 1955.  That would mean I was four or five when it aired, and yet; I remembered several things about it, as soon as I heard the music for the first time.  I bought the DVD (it cost me $3.97) because I wanted to see if my memory was correct about one scene.  When Joseph comes to the door of the Inn, the Innkeeper tells him there is no room, but as he starts to walk away, the Innkeeper's wife comes out and stops them.  Mary is never shown, but this part of the scene is shown thru her eyes, but there is a bright glow around her.  I remembered that you didn't ever see her, and I remembered the bright glow, but I thought I remembered her being shown from the side, with the headpiece covering her face.

Oh well, still pretty good memory for a 4 or 5 year old.  And it is a very young Harve Presnell as the Begger.

Thanks, Jrand!
And more vibes. After all, I'm putting in an early Peter Pan order.

Anyway, to continue...I couldn't even open up the drawer on my DVD burner.  I'm going to take it in to a local place that should at least be able to get the drawer open.  Hopefully, that's what's wrong with it and it'll work again.  I had quite a lot of stuff recorded onto it that I hadn't burned onto DVDs, but nothing that was terribly important....but still. :P


I didn't break it did I?

That ad is so amateurish that I can't imagine it generating a great deal of business. And sadly it probably cost them a pretty penny.

Well, thanks for the vibes, but sadly my DVD burner didn't break down soon enough. :P I got to the repair shop and there was a sign "Closed Indefinitely."  They also wrote that people needed to call them if they still had people's equipment! :o So, it must've closed fairly recently.  Now, I need to find another place to get my DVD burner repaired.  Fortunately, I do have another one of the exact same model, so I'm not totally out of the DVD burning business.

Wednesday morning greetings!  Another slow morning here on W. 69th St.

We'll probably take it easy before wandering up to the low '80s for a late lunch with DR Elmore.  Tonight we're seeing AIDA at the Metropolitan Opera, which is right around the corner from our humble abode.


Thank goodness you said the opera version of AIDA.  I would hate to think that was your last memory of Broadway theater.

Is it only Wednesday? I thought all day yesterday that it was Wednesday.

I thought today was Saturday.

Not at all!  The drawer not opening has been developing over the last few weeks, so hopefully it just needs a new belt or something simple like that.

I would like to thank everyone involved for the greatness of this post.  All of my teachers who taught me to write, all of my directors who have cast me in a play or musical, my mother for doing my laundry and giving me a clean shirt to wear today, and of course my dog for her support in everything I do.
