Garry Shandling has died

Very sad news. I hadn't heard.

He was definitely too young.

This could be a sign of a Freudian slip or, far more likely, a middling education.

Either way, it make for a funny post!

Back from a walk-through for the sound person - a young fellow but seems very on top of his game. Then I had a cup of soup and a sandwich, picked up a package and am now home. Heard the latest two Lanny orchestrations, which are fab. Waiting for him to call to chat about a couple of things. I had an idea last night - the song I wrote for What If and put in during the third week of its run - Born Too Late (the disco song that's on the second Guy Haines CD) - I was not feeling strong about opening act two with a "soft" reprise of an act one number - it would be cute but it's really not a way to start an act - although some shows do like to gentle in with the opening of act two. But Born Too Late we've done twice at Kritzerland and it always stops the show because it has the dance section in the middle and people just look back on the era with such fondness. And I can open it up in the middle just before the dance, and talk about LA's great discos, like Osko's and others. What do you think? Kind of a neat way to start act two - but I also have the option of starting act two with the melting pot number Grant is supposed to do music for and then I'd put the disco number in act one where the melting pot number is - those are easy flips.

It's a great number that's proven to be successful. Otherwise not knowing the show, I would think that it would be a great second act opener, but since it's an easy flip, you certainly can try out each number and see which actually works best.

Well, I'm off to the theater! Tonight is our $5 final (and only) preview, so there should be a few people there. We'll see.

Be back later.

Hello, everyone.

Hi, Vixmom.

A shorter day today, I hope.

I was just about to relax for a bit when my bank called, asking if I'd written a check to a person I've never heard of. No. And none of my checks are missing, so someone counterfeited a check. Oy! I've spent the last hour talking to my bank. Tomorrow I'll have to drive over to the bank and open a new account. Naturally, I wrote a utility check just the other day and it hasn't cleared yet. I'll probably get hit with a fee for that, since my account is now frozen. Gawd!

Did the bank also call the police?

I went to church for Maudy Thursday... I desperately needed it. This year we had "dinner church" soup And bread by candlelight while we listened to a sermon . Shared bread and wine and then processed into the sanctuary singing "what wondrous love " then knelt in silence for the stripping of the altar

Sorry to hear that. I do hope you can find a new job soon. I'm sure this got old long, long ago.

The bank said they do not notify the police and since the teller was suspicious and called me, no real crime took place.

I spoke to the utility company and they just told me that they'll reverse the charge if I have something from the bank saying why I had to freeze the account, so that's good.

Nothing like a little attempted fraud to shake up your day.

No real crime took place? Are they for real? What a joke.

Just watched The Girls in Their Summer Dresses, a dramatization of an Irwin Shaw story with Jeff Bridges and Carol Kane.

I remember watching this years ago.

The score was written by Elizabeth Swados and arranged by John Adams. Something seems wrong with that sentence.
