I've been engrossed by That's Entertainment on TCM.  It's being shown in this strange ratio.  What's up with that?

RLP - I feel I must tell you that I am NOT a cat lover -- although I'm weirdly fond of the odd cat that lives in my yard. I just feel sorry for any dead animal -- except perhaps a rat (unless it's Ben -- not DR Ben. Not that I wouldn't feel sorry if I saw DR Ben by the side of the... Never Mind!)

Chat was one of the best ever.  Still going strong so stop by.  And I'd say we need a frenzy or two right about now.

It was a very lively and sparkling chat.  Even Jenny showed up and experienced her very first chat!

However, within a span of about a minute, seven people left chat!  I have to leave now, too (so that makes eight, including me).

For some reason, I'm craving a Big Mac. ::) Also, I have to let in the cat that's being house-sat.

Hi,

I have the use of a computer at my hotel.  I'm off to my room in a few minutes but stopped to say hello.

Jose, last night I had a very enjoyable dinner at Aangan.  Tonight I had chinese food with a very nice woman I met today.  She is participating in the study with me.  

Danise she has a similiar accent to yours.  I forget where in Florida she is from.

Maya, I'm sorry you found the cat.  I know it must still be upsetting.  Were you able to find the owner?

RLP your poem soffened Maya's story and I'm now thinking of all my lost cats having a wonderful time.

According to the final episode Dreyfus was really played by an actor in a dog suit.
Well, not exactly.  The "actor in a dog suit" was a final joke.  Through the series, Dreyfuss was played by Bear, a real (and really large) dog trained by Joel Silverman.

Bruce, you don't want to hear about all the tests I had today.  They did go well.  More to come tomorrow. The people at the study are all very nice.

It was fun making a friend to spend time with this evening.  I have yummy leftovers but I don't think there is a frig in my room.  I might snack a little bit more before going to bed.

My cold sitting in the lobby at the computer.  It is cold in my room.  This hotel, which I shall not return to, has central heating.  Since the weather is nice during the day the heat is turned off.  It might have been nice if I had been told that before booking the room.  Even nicer would be if I had been informed not to turn on the heat in my room as it only blows cold air from the pipes.  So last night I made the room very chilly and couldn't get to sleep.  To make up for my complaints of freezing all night I have been given a complimentary breakfast.  Wish I really wanted to eat first thing in the morning before my next test.

The best thing about this hotel is the sncak machine.  It sells Austin Zoo Animals which I haven't been able to find for the last four years.  I had them for breakfast and lunch today.  I shall buy more to snack on during my train trip to NY tomorrow.

Ben I did see your message.

Back from rehearsal...

Eating dinner - Chinese...

DR Jane - Glad to hear that you enjoyed Aangan.  Sorry about your hotel.  *I normally stay with my family when I'm in the DC area or I would have given you a hotel recommendation.  ;)

DR Maya - Be sure to say HI to Mark K Molineu for me!  -I told her to say HI to you! ;)  -And I'm sorry I won't be able to play VTAs/SETCs at the end of this month. :(

OK - Let me finish my dinner... I'll be back..

Sorry I had to miss chat. Rehearsals continue (if that's what you call them. I call them chaos.)

Chat was full until about seven fifteen.  She of the Healing Hands has arrived and is setting up her table.

Might I just ask where in tarnation IS everyone?  Sad to be all alone in the world.  I'd say we need us a frenzy or two right about now from some late-night denizen or other.

My massage was lovely, Jacuzzi was lovely, and now I shall sit on the couch for a few minutes then write the notes.

Good Evening!

Car Update:  Well, they found three things that needed to be fixed.  Two small things, and one thing that could go either way - financially speaking.  I'll know tomorrow what the status is.  Thankfully, every place I need to get to tomorrow is in an easy walking distance - as it was today.

And it was a great day to walk.  A beautiful late summer/early fall day.

Closet Update:  I got it all cleaned out, and I just put everything away.  And I even managed to consolidate a few bags and boxes at the same time!

I left the lights off while I was at rehearsal, and I came home to no "evidence" of mice, so... I think sealing up the hole in the corner helped - and will help - to keep the visitors away.

Rehearsal Update:  Tonight was the first orchestra rehearsal for The Producers.  Tour 1 - The Max Company - is playing here this week in Richmond.  Surprisingly, they're only travelling with the drummer and the keyboard player.  I thought at least the lead trumpet or the percussionist (since the percussion set-up includes a typewriter) would travel with them too, but not in this case.  The orchestra sounds great.  A bunch of them had played Tour 2 - The Leo Company (the one with Alet (Oury) Taylor's husband) - earlier this year in Norfolk, and that helped a lot.  There's a lot of music in the show, and a lot of notes.

I just audited tonight.  Sat back and listened and marked my score up.  The part seems a lot less daunting now.  Most of it is just rhythm - boom-chick, boom-chick - with some "exposed" licks here and there - mainly sound effects.  I have a one-on-one coaching/learning session with the assistant conductor/keyboard player in the morning at 10:00, and we should be able to get through the whole book with no major problems.  The rest of the orchestra will also be in rehearsal at that time finishing up the rest of the show - we stopped tonight right before "Springtime for Hitler".  Then sound check at 3:00, and then show at 8:00 - which I'm auditing.  I won't be playing until the Saturday matinee.

Unfortunately, it looks like Alan Ruck who plays Leo on this tour will be out this week due to illness.  Ah, well.  I was looking forward to seeing him in the role.  I've seen him a few times on Broadway - including his debut in Biloxi Blues with Matthew Broderick.  -And he would go on to play the best friend in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" opposite Broderick again.

Well, I'm tired and I need to get to bed...

Goodnight.
