Back home for about an hour - until I head out to choir rehearsal.

Spoke with DR Kate--she said they had cleared a path from their house to the street.  Sadie the dog finally went outside.  I guess it was clear today, but up to 2 more feet of snow on the way.  Scary!

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.

~~~~~Travel vibes to Ginny and Richard!~~~~~

Now why is it when BK was on the east coast we had tons of pages every day and now things are just turtle-ing by.

So here's my two cents on the Cosby situation: I am not surprised that the rape allegations are popping up like weeds, but I am surprised at the ages of the ladies. When I worked at Drama Book Shop in 1995, we had a young black actress working there who claimed that she used to be one of the ""Cosby kids," whatever that was, and I had the impression from her innuendoes that he liked them young. I'm saddened by the whole mess because I had been a fan of his for years. Until 1995.

In other news, I just had a nice fresh banana, I've poured a second K-cup, and I'm enjoying a nice blueberry muffin.


Chas, you are supposed to put the K-cup  thru a coffee machine before you drink it.

TCB posted a picture from Sleuth yesterday.

It reminded me when I used to do some stage acting and I was in a comedy my bio in part would say

Some of Michael's favorite roles have been: Detective Sergeant Tarrant (Sleuth), Lefty (In Waiting For Lefty), God (Susan and God), Edward (Edward, My Son).



LOL!  You never played Godot?

Yes, TCB should be pain-free.

Sorry.

I was never in Waiting for Godot, but when I was in college I was only cast in absurdist plays:
The Bald Soprano, Foursome (Ionesco), The Sandbox, The American Dream, The Birthday Party (Pinter).

Luke's Lobster sounds great, but I would prefer John's lobster.  ;)


Is that a euphemism?

Thank you all for the good wishes and vibes.  I wish I had a miraculous recovery, but no such luck.  i have been sitting here most of the day wishing I could feel better.  I finally broke down and took a pain pill at 3:00 p.m.  It took the edge off the pain, but not by much.

Shut-up TCB.  Whine.  Whine.  Whine.  (that is 3 whines)

I survived Allison Hayes Day on TCM......she certainly was a hard-working gal.

Once while driving through the valley with a boyfriend, they counted her name on over a dozen Drive-In marquees.

He said: "You certainly work a lot."

She said: "I work cheap."

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. 


I suppose if it sells copies, it will be okay.

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?

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've got a can of WD-40 if it would help.

I can tell you how many copies the ad has sold thus far: 0.  No orders today at all.

Oh my gosh!  A friend of mine since high school appeared in the musical BABES IN ARMS that I directed in the mid-seventies.  She played the "broad" who sang "THE LADY IS A TRAMP."  She just sent me this photo of two of us, when they called me on stage for the curtain call.  I have never seen this photo before.
