TOD:

I went to summer camp regularly from age 5 until I was 13. (I started to work during the summers as soon as it was OK to do so, when i was 14.) I tended to really like the summer camp experience when I went for three weeks at a time, not as reliably when I went for the whole eight weeks, which I did a couple of times.

Good morning, all! I slept quite well, and I will be off to Columbia in an hour and a half.

Never went to summer camp.

I finally did hear from my friend Andrea, who wanted me to join her for drinks at the Algonquin. I was back to work on my commission and turned her down. I am sorry that I didn't get to spend more time with her.

Pondering breakfast. I do need more coffee.

I never went away to camp.

I don't think I would have enjoyed it.

We had a summer home in Soap Lake, WA, and spent every June-August there.

We watched DANNY COLLINS yesterday.

It's a very likable movie; Al Pacino's best performance in years.

The 3rd act slowed down a bit, but the overall writing was excellent.

I never saw Miracle Mile. This will be rectified posthaste.

So, let's see. 1988.

It was to be my last full year in L.A. I was living in West Hollywood, I was in that part of town (Wilshire/Fairfax) as much or more than I'd ever been, and I don't even remember hearing about the movie Miracle Mile then. Amazing.

In 1988 the Orbach's building contained an indoor flea market of sorts on the ground floor, which I think was all new stuff (typical flea market goods) except for a used record dealer from whom I bought a few things.

I also remember my last time in the May Company around then, buying a pair of sneakers.

The Pan Pacific Auditorium closed as I was moving to L.A. so I was never in there. I only went to a couple of second run movies in that little theater there, which could have been as late as 1988.

BTW, based on a memory of who I was with on a particular occasion, I can state that I ate in Johnnie's Coffee Shop as late as 1975. Maybe even 1976.

So, my company's move to Danbury took place over Memorial Day weekend in 1989, and since most of us had vacated wherever we'd been living, they put us up in hotels for the last week of May. I chose the Holiday Inn in Hollywood, and it was great staying there. I had a nice high view looking out over L.A. One afternoon that week there was some shocking news on all the radio and TV stations, and I stood at the window in my room, watching the smoke rising from the remains of the Pan Pacific Auditorium.

I loved camp!! I couldn't wait to get there and hated to leave. The only Summer camp I went to was for two weeks as a family, which was very fun. It was called Echo Lake Camp. But mostly I went to Jewish camp by myself. And it wasn't in the Summer. There were one-week Winter camps that I went to a few times, and several weekend-long "convention" camps. Summer camp was for two weeks, was more expensive, and only my oldest sister got to go. I had to save up my allowance (which was liked $1.00 a week) to pay for camp myself. My Dad has since expressed regret at being so stingy throughout our childhoods. I mean he always wanted me to be more Jewish, so why he discouraged me from going to these camps, I'll never know. Other kids said their parents "made" them go to camp. I wished I had those parent.

I went to a day camp twice, not consecutive years.

I enjoyed the swimming, not much else.

TOD:

A couple of week-long church-sponsored camps in the early 1960s. We lived in Fort Lauderdale and the camp was just outside of Ocala near Silver Springs. I remember experiencing my first ever bout of homesickness the first time, which fortunately only lasted half the week. The second time, I was totally up for it. I think these were 1961 and 1963. I guess I liked it well enough then, but I've never really been any kind of a camper, either in the "summer camp" sense or any other sense.

I did not ever attend a summer camp - but I saw them in the movies.

I had to do a BIT of shopping this morning. Tonight we block Act II: Scene Two, and blocking will be finished.

Tomorrow night we do Act Two....I am going to try it without my book, I think.....

My internet has been spotty today.

Yesterday my sister decided that Dad had too much furniture in his room, so she wanted to get rid of the entertainment center and put his bookcase that had been in his closet out there.

I didn't want to throw the entertainment center out because it is a nice piece of furniture, so I put it in my room. There really wasn't a space for it, so it is kind of in the way.....but after the play has ended, I will empty the old computer desk I have....and put the new furniture there.....but until then....it's like when the Ricardos moved in with the Mertzes.

Hey, everyone! Hope you had great weekends.

TOD: I went to the same summer day camp (Eagle Country Day Camp, in Rockland County) for six years straight, and have extremely fond memories. Swimming, ballplaying, horrible ice cream sandwich cookies, and the cheesiest productions of "Mary Poppins," "My Fair Lady," "Peter Pan," and "Sound of Music" ever imagined. I actually ran into the wonderful woman who directed those shows some 25 years after the fact, and we had a lovely conversation about days gone by.

The Annette house is tented and there is a big truck that says Environmental Services who just dropped off what looks like a huge garbage bin. I don't think the tent is for termites - do they tent houses before demolishing them?

Back from Columbia. My favorite library assistant is no longer there. He has graduated and moved on. Luckily, I like the other assistants and librarians very much.

Today, I answered a couple of questions for Howard Pollack and looked at a lot of Playbills and other programs, press releases, and the early librettos.

I must finish my commission today.
