[George]

Good morning, all!  Thirty years ago today was the Wednesday that SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE won the Pulitzer Prize.  I'm very proud of that.

Happy 30th Pulitzer Anniversary, Larry...and to Steve and James, too!

[George]

Good morning, all.

I have a lot of catch up on, but it's been a crazy busy few days.

Job interview is this morning. Got the word just after the panel discussion yesterday morning. So much for taking a day off.

~~~Break Legs Vibes for the Interview!!~~~

(Hopefully, it's not too late.)

[George]

So, last night about 10, wife Sandy was feeling dizzy.  (She had fallen at about 10:30 that morning.) I called a nurse hotline that we have through AARP, and they suggested that I take her to the emergency room, which I did.

They checked her out and everything was okay.  We got home about 1 am.

Very good news about Sandy!

~~~Continued Recovery Vibes!!~~~

[George]

Late in the afternoon yesterday, I began to feel sick, so I was unable to attend the rehearsal.....I am called again for Monday.

~~~Feel Better Vibes for Jrand!!~~~

[George]

The stage collapse at Westfield High School in Indianapolis last night was actually caused by TOO many people JUMPING on the pit cover.....

Everyone is okay....the video is scary, but I would think the director would know better than to put that many people on the pit cover - let alone let them jump around like idiots.  Story and video.....

I know this is a stretch, but I can't help but think it, given that stage architecture:

How fortunate that the high school didn't have musicians in the pit, invisible but miked.

That's exactly what I was thinking, too.  Good to know that no one was seriously hurt.

Good morning! My entire news page at Facebook is filled with Elmore comments to his post regarding Sunday in the Park. Congratulations Larry!!

Than you, DR TCB!

And I am home from Encores!  I did get a chance to say howdy to John Turturro at the meet and greet.

[elmore3003]

DR ChasSmith, I did come home half expecting a voice mail from Mr Sondheim, but he may no longer have my phone number.  I honestly doubt he even remembers the actual day the award was announced, and that's fine. I wish him well.

[Jrand74]

SUNDAY is a great favorite of mine, and the only recording/show that I enjoy watching that particular leading lady in.

[Jrand74]

IF Mr Jenner had not become involved in that disgusting media circus known as the Kardashian family, I might be interested in what he had to say.

But since it seems like just another opportunity for that clan to stay in the news, it does not interest me.

I have seen so many PROMOS for the program and been bombarded with so many articles and internet links that the interview itself seems almost superfluous.

[George]

I have never eaten at PF Changs.  I don't think Tacoma has one.  It can't be worse than Panda Express

I like Panda Express.

There is no P.F. Chang's in the Olympia area, so I have no idea how good they are.

[Jrand74]

So, no DR TCB, I will not be watching the interview....aka a long commercial for Jenner's upcoming E! Network reality show about his changing life.

[George]

Shocking news on GREY'S ANATOMY last evening!

I know, right!?!?!

[George]

I am curious.  Who is planning on watching the Diane Sawyer/ Bruce Jenner interview this evening?

I plan to.  I'll record it, also...just in case.

[Dan M]

continued health vibes to dr dan

Thank you Michael!

[Dan M]

Continued recovery vibes for DR DAN M.

Thank you, thank you!

[TCB]

I doubt seriously that Bruce Jenner would agree to have his privates removed just for the sake of landing a reality show.  Since he contemplated doing this back in the 80's, I have to believe this is something that has troubled him for his whole life.  I have several friends who went thru the change, and i know that they must go thru months and months oif psychological counseling before any surgery can be performed.  Hopefully the American public will learn about a side of life that they might otherwise ignore.   

[Dan M]

I saw "Mary Poppins" last night in Thousand Oaks (since I live in Thousand Oaks, I sort of had to). I enjoyed seeing Juliana Hansen (as Mary Poppins) again. I've missed seeing her in Kritzerland shows, as she hasn't been in one in quite a while - she was always one of my favorites of the Kritzerland casts. Bruce, I hope you enjoy the show and try to avoid eating at PF Changs, okay?

I avoid PF Chang's every chance I can get. A restaurant that refuses to offer salt to its patrons isn't worth patronizing. (And by salt, I mean salt, not soy sauce with some smarmy server saying, "It's Chinese salt.")

They once were good, especially for gluten-free choices, but they changed the menu and it changed for the worse.
Needless to say, it's a pet peeve of mine.

[TCB]

Dan, how are you feeling today?

[Dan M]

Feel better vibes for DRs Dan M and JRand and for Mrs. Druxy!

Thanks Ginny!

[Dan M]

Dan, how are you feeling today?

I'm feeling a bit tired. My tongue is a bit sore and that makes eating problematic. My throat is not as sore though, depends on what I'm eating or drinking. The anesthesia really hit me hard, and I do have painkillers available, which I will take just before bedtime, like last night. My surgeon's office didn't have the results yet, so I guess no news is good news.

Unless anything spins off from this surgery, I am to have a pre-screening evaluation in May and then the surgeon assisted robotic abdominal surgery in June.

Thank you for everything!

[Dan M]

Continued vibes for Dan M.

Thank you John and hoping for success for you.

[TCB]

You are in my prayers.

[Dan M]

You are in my prayers.

I am very comforted by that and it means a lot to me.

[Dan M]

I'm taking a creative writing class on Canvas and I finished writing this poem while I was partly zonked out by anesthesia and painkillers. Somehow ideas came to me a bit better. Our assignment was to create a word cloud of words that had similar sounds or cognates or structures or near rhymes. It's only my second "real" poem and maybe it's truly sophomoric, but I've always wanted to get my creative writing mojo going. It was fun, but challenging. Here's what I pulled out of the seemingly random words:

UNFORESEEN REVERIE
Casting out tarantellas
To unique reverberant chords
And clutches of cascading quarter notes
Caught betwixt the coreopsis and cascarilla
 
Along the copse the ol’ rill washes o’er
Ribbonlike flashes of coral and corundum
Running down obsidian ores and iridescent oysters
 
Sound ascending as metaphysical cuisine
Morpheus consorting with Freud acquiescent
Evincing corroboration of wordless myths
Spanning generations of seeds conceding
Subtle techniques of Providence unseen

I know nothing about poetry, but I liked it.
