I need to dry my hair and ponder the inspection report we aren't thrilled with. 

'night

That's too bad, Jane.  Hope something good can come out of it.

Oh I missed this , I am sorry to hear that Jane

My library just got the following dvds. Are any of these really good?

Whiplash
Interstellar
Into The Woods
Unbroken
The imitation game

"Into the Woods" is very good...in my humble opinion (IMHO in Internet lingo).

[George]

And now, back to the show!

[George]

Last night, I watched a documentary called "Being Ginger."  Well, when I was a kid, I had what used to be called "red" hair...here's the proof:

What a cute photo! Lots of us had very blond hair as youngsters, only to watch it darken, but I've never heard of red hair darkening.

Thanks, Jeanne!  My sister had very blonde hair and hers darkened, too.

[George]

And red headed men with beards

I can introduce you to a Jewish redhead with a beard.

Got any Lutherans?

I'm not picky... I'll take whoever's left over.

Well, THE KING AND I is a hit!  Kevin, don't count the show out for October.

[George]

Well, THE KING AND I is a hit!  Kevin, don't count the show out for October.

That's great.  I really like Kelli O'Hara.

[George]

And now, back to the show again.  I won't be back until I get home.

Until then.

DR TCB I hope your news at the eye doctor's was ok.

The glaucoma is worse; and now I need to have cataract surgery.

Sorry to hear this. My cousins all have glaucoma and one of them is part of a Bausch & Lomb trial which emphasizes certain vitamins for the eyes. I'll try to find out more if you're interested.

Please, I would appreciate it.

In Seattle tonight, there was a case of "road rage" that ended with a one year old baby being shot in the head.  The whole thing is just sick!

Had an interesting work session today, going from start to finish.  I'm glad, in certain ways, that it was terrible - she was all over the map, in cutesy land, too big, too loud, and she hadn't really warmed up her voice so even the songs didn't sound good.  And she knew it.  And the good part is that despite that the show worked rather well I thought.  She didn't go as fast as she usually does, but even without blocking and going a bit too fast, the show ran eighty-one minutes - so I do think it will end up being a little over eighty-five minutes, which is just perfect - even if it went to ninety.  Those minutes go very quickly.

We went to Casa Vega for the meal - but we're not going to do that before rehearsals anymore.  I had a cheese enchilada and a beef taco.  So, I'm going to have a salad with oil and vinegar as the dressing, so no real calories at all.

Yes, much better than I expected it to be.

I've been away from all you DRs for too long. Just wanted to check in and say I'm still battling lymphoma. I have to go for a biopsy next week. My most recent PET scan was clear save for the tonsil area. If all goes well, then I am scheduled for surgery in June to repair my large abdominal hernia.

I hope to rejoin the group here more regularly and am sorry I have been errant and truant, but I've had and have lots of worries. I try not to, but go figure, there it is: worry.

Any chance that we might get to see some rehearsal footage some time?

If the composer would agree to it.

Dan how nice to hear from you.  You have been missed.  And we have been worried.  I am glad that things seem to be improving.  Please come back soon.

[Dan M]

Thank you TCB. I like your photo.

I will try to be regular again (no, not the one that goes with fiber).

[TCB]

Thanks.  We really can supply a lot of moral support.

[Dan M]

That's a good moral for morale!

Lately I have been listening to John Adams and Philip Glass. Don't know why. And, as a topper, Anthony Newley. Must be my state of mind, I guess. Trying to change my point of view perhaps.

[TCB]

Trust me, Dan.  Sharing your worries with us won't make them go away, but they will be easier to cope with them.

I like Newley.  He is an acquired taste.  I love his Scrooge.  Almost as good as mine.

[TCB]

When you say John Adams, you aren't talking the President are you?

[Dan M]

That's true. I don't know why I stayed away but for the worries. Was getting into the tall weeds of worry and couldn't see the support that's been there all along. Too much inner dialogue and not enough external with give-and-take, other perspectives.

[TCB]

Give us another try.  If we don't help, then you can walk away.

[Dan M]

When you say John Adams, you aren't talking the President are you?

No. He's a minimalist composer. He wrote the opera "Nixon in China", "On the Transmigration of Souls", "The Century Rolls" and, one of my favorites, "The Chairman Dances." You may have heard "Short Ride in a Fast Machine" which is usually played as an encore.

[TCB]

But if nothing else, you are bound to get a few laughs.

I do know NIXON IN CHINA.
