MacDonad's and Boston Market have their tax day meal specials today.

I'm sure there are other chains that do the same.

ASK BK

How did you get Amy Adams for your customer designer for What If? Looking at her bio she was just becoming well known for her work.

Morning all.

That is all.

Good morning, all.

Slept like a rock. Or at least how I think a rock sleeps. As for now...

Coffee!

Good morning, all! I slept late, which was nice, and I am still pondering what needs to be accomplished today. I have to do laundry, book a date with my barber, put a lot of things away and vacuum.

Tomorrow, I'll finish packing up the cartons going from Toyland to Ohio and schedule the Fed Ex pickup.

Today, it looks as though BK and others need vibes for things to fall into place, so vibes to that effect for everyone!

DR GEORGE it has been my experience that letting other groups use your space is MORE trouble than it's worth.

If you decide to go ahead....even for a part of the box office.....you should have a guarantee of a certain amount.....that way when they get five people in for their show, you still get a reasonable amount of money.

They also expect a LOT of you, and your staff will always have to be on call for them. You have wear and tear on your equipment and spend lots of your time....eventually the tail starts wagging the dog.

My suggestion is let them go someplace else. For me, improv is a pretty useless enterprise. You go for about thirty minutes and get one "brilliant" comeback, otherwise it's a struggle.

They just make it look easy on WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY?....and even they are not funny a LOT of the time.

Continued ALS vibes for MR BK.....but it IS that time of year.

I also enjoyed BIG EYES and I also felt that Waltz was, at times, a bit "over the top".

However, from what I've learned since seeing the movie, Waltz actually underplayed the role. The real Walter Keane, according to the filmmakers, was much more flamboyant that what Waltz portrayed.

Well yesterday we did a 90 minute ANTIGONE at 10 a.m. in the MORNING for three of the four county high schools. One high school did not attend.

We had to be done at 11:30 a.m. so that we could have a talk back and then the students could have a tour of the set and theatre and still have time for lunch before going back to school.

Sometime during the second half, the stage manager came on the system and said: "Pick up the pace...we are behind."

Well.....I went out....my part had already been cut by more than half....so I just went out and cut big parts out of the middle of my two monologs....I told Creon beforehand his cues would be the same, the middle would be different.....

It was the fastest prophecy in the history of Thebes.

No matter what the director says, there are too many people doing ACTING and PAUSING and WALKING and MAKING FACES.....minutes and minutes of it. We have the Odes, which have been choreographed. They are nice....but this group takes minutes to get into place....and then there is always that LONG DRAMATIC PAUSE before they start....more slow walking and talking....

We had another dress rehearsal last night....call at 6 p.m. and go at 7:30 p.m.! And it was longer than ever.....

Eternal doom.......

But I am having a good time......but I am not in the audience.

We watched MAP TO THE STARS last night. I didn't much care for it, but Julianne Moore was terrific.

Wednesday morning greetings! Richard and I went last night to the hospital where I've twice been a cardiac patient, but just for a meeting. It was the first time I'd entered that building other than through the ER. The program was on Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD), the phenomenon that caused my heart attack, and was presented by an RN who is also a fellow SCAD survivor. It was very informative.

And this morning I wake up to an email about some interpersonal stuff going on within AAUW that I'd rather not have to deal with...

Thank you for the vibes DR TCB!

Jane · « **Reply #22 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:15:56 AM »

I need to get ready to meet my hiking group. DR Ginny you probably think I'm crazy and wondering how I can hike. I am sure I'm crazing and not sure about the second part. There is a road I can transfer to if the hiking part is too difficult. I can then meet back up with them for the coffee/hot chocolate stop.

Ginny · « **Reply #23 on:** April 15, 2015, 07:22:27 AM »

DR Jane, no, I don't think you're crazy. Sometimes you just have to push a little. I like the coffee shop option...

Good morning, all.

Continued vibes for Bk and ALS company.

DR GINNY tell them Lame Ducks aren't that interested in minutiae.

LOL, DR JRand! I tried that with another matter and did NOT get a good reaction...

Actually, I was uninterested in minutiae long before I became a lame duck.

Laundry is in the dryers, the barber appointment is made for tomorrow, the trash has gone to the basement. I think I will vacuum before I bring the dry laundry up.

I also have a Tuesday morning date with British actress and singer Rosemary Ashe, and that should be fun. She's a good lady.
