I saw a tour of COMPANY in Ann Arbor in which Tandy Cronyn played Amy.  And COMPANY was the last show I did with our local community theatre, playing Sarah.  I was in way over my head...

DR GINNY'S snow picture

[Jrand74]

DR GINNY put your cursor over the picture in Facebook and right click and "copy image location"....

Then paste the location in your comment......on the first side put IMG in brackets [ ]
and at the end of the location url put /IMG in brackets....the picture will show up

[Jrand74]

That is a nice story DR CILLA LIZ.

We ended up with most cold rain today.

[Ginny]

Thanks, again, DR JRand!  That was taken several hours ago, so I suspect the tree has even more snow on it now.

[Jrand74]

That is a frightening and sad story DR ELMORE.

Yeah, that's how I do it when I have my computer, but copying and pasting is tricky on the iPad mini.

[Ginny]

When I was downstairs I stopped by the desk and made a preliminary inquiry about extending my stay if my Tuesday flight gets cancelled.  Not panicking yet, just thinking ahead...

They said there would be no problem.

[Cillaliz]

We ended up with 7 inches of snow. The snowing appears to have stopped, but the wind is still around 25-30 mph....with 11 degree temps, that means it's got to be a below 0 windchill

[Jrand74]

Oh that's right.....I forgot you were an Ipad person this weekend....

[Jrand74]

Well so now EVERYONE knows how to do it.

[Jrand74]

DR GEORGE showed me many years ago.

[Jane]

DR JANE is Libby Appel still mucking up the Shakespeare Festival in your neck of the woods?

How many members of her family has she employed there now?

She has been gone for several years now, '06 was her last year.

[ChasSmith]

Well so now EVERYONE knows how to do it.

And we'll never ever forget!!

Wow! In the There are still great kids out there department. I was sitting here thinking about doing the driveway and walk (truthfully, I don't mind doing it) when three teenagers knocked on my door and said they would shovel my walk and driveway for 5 dollars a piece. Seriously, $5 to shovel isn't very much. That's hard work. I was so impressed that they are out in the cold and the wind helping people and actually working with a smile to make a little money, that I gave them $10 each.(still not much but it only took them about 15 minutes and I let them use my snowblower for the driveway) It isn't perfect, but the wind is still blowing so I'll touch it up later when the wind dies. They were surprised I gave them more than they asked for. They restored my faith in teenagers a little, it was worth it.

Hopefully they will return on the next snow day they aren't in school.

And you probably restored their faith in fair grown ups!

True.

I saw the national company of COMPANY with Julie Wilson, Gary Krawford, and Louisa Flaningam.  it was quite wonderful. The second prduction I saw as at Wright state University n Dayton, OH,around 1977 because an actor with whom I'd worked in dnner theatre was in the cast.  His name was Kip Rookstool, and he moved to New York as soon as he graduated.  When I got to Manhattan, I called him and we planned to meet for coffee, which never happened. About a year later I was on the subway platform reading one of the papers. Kip was visiting his boyfriend when the super sent a couple of killers to get rid of an irksome tenant. They were both murdered. A houseguest escaped to get the police and identify the killers. Such a loss.

WTF!?

Ditto!!  Such a sad, sad story.

I'm not counting on it, but it would be fine with me if they do.

DR Elmore, that's so tragic!

Yep. He had a recording of mine that I' lent him when we were working at LaCommedia.  I think it was THE APPLE TREE, and he said that he'd return it when we got together.  That Wright State production of COMPANY was quite good and i think I went to a cast party after the show with Kip.

I don't think about COMPANY or many productions these days.  We've entered a period of revival stagings and style of performance that's all too natural and psychoanalyzed out of proportion. Say the lines, sing the song and stop trying to "act" so hard that you've pulled the melody, lyrics and performance out of any shape. There's also no sense of humor these days. It's all too serious.

Perhaps it was why I was so rattled about my super and my bathroom ceiling.

[Jane]

I can see where that would be in the back of your mind.

You get penalized for licking the kicker?!?!?!

Beats kicking the liquor, i guess.
