Back from a very productive rehearsal. Got through act two's clean-up and all is looking pretty good. The gals are beginning to get off book and I'm being more detailed with every rehearsal. Then we went back to the top and drilled half the musical numbers in act one, doing a lot of cleaning up and some spacing adjustments for our new theater, although the actual playing space is just about identical. But we now have proper numbers on the floor, which, of course helps everything. One of the actors on her way out told me she wouldn't be with us tomorrow. Apparently she imparted this news last Friday to our stage manager who neglected to impart it to me. Needless to say, I was not happy about it and found it hard to disguise that fact. I then had one of our producers talk to her because it impacts so much of our remaining time and that's really unfair to herself, the other actors and me. So, she's rearranged things and will now be with us.

if I already posted this photo of me with my friends' dog, Bogart?

Then I got the news that our scheduled date for then next Kritzerland show had to be moved due to a scheduling conflict. This happened once before and I was guaranteed eight weeks' notice, rather than the four that we just got. So, we do the second Sunday, which just makes the April show harder because it comes up more quickly now. Happily, our one actor who is cast is fine with the change. It's taken over a year to get our guest star back with us, but now her involvement may be in jeopardy - we'll know later.

But then I got an e-mail with our first review of last night's show, and it's quite a lovely rave from Broadway World.

We've been going back and forth for almost a week now, but have finally made the decision not to go with tracks, but to use an actual pianist. I'll miss certain percussion and drum things but it's worth it to not put these women into a little airless box in terms of interpretation and tempos of songs.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #71 on:** February 03, 2015, 05:32:21 PM »

Oh. No it isn't. Damn,

ChasSmith · « **Reply #72 on:** February 03, 2015, 05:33:25 PM »

Sounds good, BK. In spite of those things you'll miss.

Where is everyone today? I have been lethargic most of the day; you'd think it was Wednesday. I am ready for bed and that is where I am heading.

Harper Lee has supposedly written a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird.

From what I've read it was written not long after Mockingbird and has been in a lockbox all these years. It's from the perspective of Scout as an adult.

Now, if we could only find a nice benefactor somewhere who had two grand to throw our way we could also have percussion/drums

I started feeling frazzled and disorganized today, so I spent a big chunk of the day making a huge to do list and going through all my cases to be sure nothing has fallen between the cracks. I have a ton to do in the next few days, but it's doable

Cillaliz · « **Reply #77 on:** February 03, 2015, 05:40:47 PM »

Yesterday the snow on my dish melted and refroze so I could only get local stations. Today it melted and is clear as a bell. I'm happy

Cillaliz · « **Reply #78 on:** February 03, 2015, 05:41:05 PM »

We may have more snow...then again we may not

I can use the internet again.

Keith tore his office apart today, with a lot of help from our excellent handyman. Everything was removed, including the carpet. New carpet has been ordered and I believe the walls have been completely prepped today. I expect painting will begin tomorrow. I will be with my hiking group in no hurry to return.

Jane · « **Reply #80 on:** February 03, 2015, 05:46:46 PM »

DR Jennifer. I don't think I have seen a fabric swim cap. I shall begin a search now that I can use the computer. Thanks for your response.

Tuesday morning greetings! My flight appears to be on schedule, so I'm proceeding with my plan for today. After a shower and breakfast I'll take my ALA swag bag down to the FedEx office in the lobby and ship it home - too many books for me to carry! My shuttle is picking me up just before noon and my flight is just before 3. Assuming all goes well, I'll have dinner with Richard tonight!

I'm curious, was it less expensive to mail it than to pay extra baggage on the plane? How many books were in it? I remember how much fun I had collecting books and other goodies the one and only ALA I went to. I have my little magnetic paper clip holder sitting next to me on my desk.

DR George are cats allowed outside where you live? Here they are not supposed to roam outside, but it is not unforced. It is so freezing cold out right now I can't imagine it would be pleasant to be an outdoor cat.

I could move to Canada just for that ruling. Is is country wide or just or area? Aside from the concerns I have about the safety of an outdoor cat, I found it extremely annoying when they came and bothered my cats, and at all hours of the night too.

I really didn't do a cost analysis, DR Jane. FedEx-ing was convenient because they have an office right in the hotel where I was staying. I think there are about a dozen books, plus my conference program book, some other papers, and some pens & post-it pads.

Did you read the details? I got the impression she wrote this first and was encouraged to write about Scout.

The 3 United flights after mine from Chicago to Dayton this evening have all been cancelled, so I really don't expect my suitcase tonight.

I've never seen a FedEx in a hotel. I would have also used it.

Ginny · « **Reply #88 on:** February 03, 2015, 06:07:44 PM »

And the 3 flights before mine were all delayed, so I guess I was pretty lucky just to get here on time myself.

Richard is still trying to wrap his head around 7 flights per day between Chicago and Dayton on Uniited. And other airlines fly that route, too.
