It's a yellow-ish morning in Oakland CA.

Smoke from the fires in surrounding counties continues to dominate the atmosphere.

Oh! I've gone and started PAGE 2!

I guess that's good for me. Nary another soul seems to be lurking, not even a guest.

Sad to be all alone.

Good morning, all.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #35 on:** August 27, 2015, 08:38:39 AM »

Good morning!
Good morning!
We've danced the whole night through!
Good morning! Good morning, to you!

Very sorry to read your news, Elmore. I hope the friendship can be repaired at some point in the future.

Well, two phone calls with the Miami University Library this morning, and we have hopefully resolved the return of the materials to Manhattan.

I believe everything is okay now, and I got a very kind apology; I hopefully will not lose this longtime friendship.

TOD:

Back when Bette Midler had a big hit with Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, there was an Andrews Sisters resurgence and a number compilation albums of their songs were released. I was still in 8th grade, if I recall correctly, and I flipped over a recording of "In the Mood" that they did with Glenn Miller that appeared on one of the albums. That song, that sound, that style really got to me. It led me to Miller's famous instrumental version, Artie Shaw's and eventually an appreciation of big band leaders in general.

I never owned that Andrews Sisters album. It belonged to a friend of my sister's. And I've never been able to find that particular recording ever since. I finally found one version of them singing In the Mood, but it just wasn't the same. And I think Glenn Miller was the reason why. He was a horrible actor, but I still love the early stereo recordings he did for Orchestra Wives and Sun Valley Serenade, plus the way the scenes with the band were filmed.

Not any of those things yet DR CHAS SMITH.

And we didn't get the notes from last night because she lost her internet cable and can't post them.

Tonight is the WHOLE show, so we shall see what happens.

I'm afraid she started talking during the last scene and I finally stopped and told her what I thought....it got very quiet....and then we went on.....

FJL, send Skip and company my congratulations on the nominations. Great news. Now, when's a production coming to San Antonio?

Ginny · « **Reply #44 on:** August 27, 2015, 09:54:59 AM »

Thursday afternoon greetings! I slept 'til almost 9am, which is quite late for me. Then I had an 11:30 appointment with Tina for a haircut and here it is early afternoon.

DR Elmore, I'm glad to hear the situation has been resolved and hope the friendship survives...

I am still puzzled. Is "she" the lousy actress or the director?

I believe it will. I was angry this morning and hurt by his accusations, but apologies are important. I've made several apologies in my life that to my regret were not accepted, but I am grateful for the ones that were. I believe that if the attacker had apologized after his hostile emails during the ROBERTA mess of Oct. 2013 the friendship would have continued. It never came. I know i can be difficult, but I will fight back if I'm attacked.

Here's another hope that this person has seen the light and done the necessary about-face in time to preserve the friendship.

It is unconscionable for a friendship to be compromised by any kind of misunderstanding, or from a sudden bizarre shit-fit (however legitimate) suffered by one of the parties. I've had to learn that myself, and I am only too happy to have regular reminders of it.

VIBES that this one continues, and with even stronger bonds.

I don't think it was I who asked that -- but who knows, I could be having a Sen~or Momento. (I forgot how to make the tilde.)

I believe the Andrews Sister's resurgence continued with the Sherman's 1974 Broadway musical "Over Here".

It did, but I never got that cast recording until much later.

Yes, all is good. I am going to let it roll off my back and not dwell on it.

Two days ago, I was completely oblivious to the heinous schemes of my boss.

Today I am faced with preparing three letters for our Board of Supervisors. They must be completed by COB tomorrow. For me, COB tomorrow is Noon...board letters or no board letters.

We had a memo a few weeks ago telling us that Board Letters must be submitted on time and they must be complete.

The day before is not "on time", IMO. But, as long as all the pieces are given to me, I'll prepare the packages.

She thinks theatre in real life is the way it is in college.

It's not.
