I started the day with a dentist visit and had a filling to mend the other broken tooth

I know what you mean. Fortunately, I still have my letter from John Williams and my postcard with both Rankin and Bass having signed it.

When I was purging my keepsakes the one ticket stub I wanted to keep was missing.  Everything else was there.  I keep hoping I put it in a "safe" place last time I had it out.  It is for the Heifetz concert my father took me to, the one that turned out to be his professional concert.  As long as I never lose the memory of that evening I will be happy.

I am learning to let go.  Today we sold my car and did not buy a new one.  For now we are a one car family.

At ten years of age, and the little I drive it, it seemed easier not to go through the hassle of transferring it to another state.

I never kept anything from that, either.  (The Heifetz concert that both DR Jane and I attended.)  Hard to believe, but true.  I would presume I held on to the program for a while, but I haven't seen it in years.

I was shockingly bad at that, especially in my L.A. years for some reason.  And, what vixmom said -- every time I go through a box or a file or anything where a missing item should be, I harbor new hope that it's going to turn up.

I had the ticket in my hands a few months ago.  I don't understand where it went.  Yes, I went through everything to be sure it wasn't there before trashing the rest of it.

DR GEORGE I am sending "Laughing Stock" around the board, and everyone who has read it so far has loved it.  I am hoping we can put it on the schedule for 2016.

That would be cool!  If you do do it, can you thank my in your program (no obligation, of course)?

I've lost letters from Benjamin Britten and Lotte Lenya. I have no idea where they could be!  I think the Sondheims are at the Miami U library.

I have some autographs of people who've performed here in Olympia (Melissa Manchester, Debbie Gravitte, The Pointer Sisters, Linda Eder, Ann Hampton Callaway, etc.) and I've purchased a couple of sets of autographs of the members of The Manhattan Transfer...and I have all of BK's autographed books and several CDs.

Attack of the 50 foot woman is on my tv right now!

I turned on my TV just at the very end of the movie.  I'm now recording "Paint Your Wagon" to my sister's laptop from my DVR.  He can eventually make a Blu-ray of it for me (depending on how much time he has).  I have several other projects for him...at least until I get a new computer and can do this all by myself.  It was recorded off a channel (not TCM) that's widescreen, hi-def and no commercials!

Jrand, what did you say the difference in length between the school edition and the full-length version?

TOD:

I loved the miniseries form when it first began.  So many adaptations of novels.....I think the first two I remember seeing still remain my favorites:

QB VII based on the Leon Uris novel

RICH MAN, POOR MAN which later became a television series.....I liked them both!!


QBVII was my choice, as well.

DR DanM, I love Peter Schickele! I used to see PDQ Bach at Carnegie Hall on his comps. A couple of years ago I called him about his incidental music for "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," which Vanguard has never released n VF, and he burned me a CD.

I've suggested that the Manhattan School of Music stage "Abduction of Figaro," but of course they did not and it would have been a great birthday idea.
