TCB, I'm sorry you're encountering so much bad weather on your cruise. I always liked sea days; I hope yours still provide some sort of relaxation and benefit.

This is a repositioning cruise, yes? You'll be flying home?


Yes, it is.  I fly home on May 3.

I've been watching FORTITUDE, a strange murder mystery series that takes place on a small island in the Arctic. I find the depiction of life there interesting, and the show is well done in many ways. Stanley Tucci is wonderful. Michael Gambon is always a pleasure. It has its fans. I'll finish season one.

Does this mean you don't plan to watch season two?

I am relieved a book I've been waiting for from the library checked out to me today.  I finished a book last night.

What I've spent my morning finishing up, starting with the backstory:

In the early 1970s I had this "semi-pro" Sony Superscope audio cassette recorder with a decent external stereo microphone.  In 1974 I took it along on a visit to Cincinnati, and recorded an entire Where's Charley? at my mom and dad's community theater (Terrace Park Players).  My dad had some silly small part in it and my mom and I were in the audience.

Four decades later, my dad found the two cassettes and asked if they were mine or if I knew what the hell they were.  I told him, and we popped them in and listened.  The recording was surprisingly decent, but the kicker was hearing my mom, dead for two decades, laughing her ass off throughout the show.  He was beside himself hearing that, and I brought the cassettes home to burn them to CD for him and I'd hang on to the originals.

The tapes still play beautifully and I decided it was time I learned to do this stuff reasonably well.  I made full range WAV file transfers directly into my ZOOM digital recorder and created Audacity project files from those.  I chopped out a few extraneous noises, added fade-ins and fade-outs, edited the whole thing to fit perfectly on two CDs without sacrificing quality, and burned them to disc using Windows Media Player which I've come to grips with just enough to accomplish that much.

So, on my upcoming visit, my dad's getting the CDs for his 91st birthday, along with a copy of the 1974 program with their names and their friends' names in it (how that ever survived there, I'll never know).  And I'm REALLY delighted to be getting this audio stuff under my belt at long last.

That's a wonderful story, Chas!

Not tonight.  It's all just TV watching and laundry doing.

It is so quiet onboard ship tonight, it is hard to believe that I am sharing this ship with about 2,000 other people.

Jeanne - we open on May 13th 8:00 show.  There is a preview on the 12th, which I think starts at 7:00.  Two shows on the 14th - 2:00 and 8:00.  Then we're back with two shows on Thursday the 19th - matinee is somewhere around three, I think and evening is 7:15, then an 8:00 on Friday the 20th and 2:00 and 8:00 on Saturday the 21st.

Mary Lee Gowland - I was Googling Bluth Brothers, just to see if there were ANY images of it - of course there weren't.  Most of what comes up is from haineshisway.com or my books, but there was another book that got a hit and it was hers.  I was able to go to the page that got the hit for Bluth Brothers and sure enough she was in High Spirits.  I'm sure I'd remember her if I saw more photos, but she didn't really look familiar to me from the couple I saw.

Had a really fun rehearsal today - Cheryl and her hip-hop guy choreographed the LA melting pot song Grant and I wrote and it is seriously great and the kids loved doing it.  Happily everyone was on time and ready to work, although our stage manager's plan is to make everyone's calls fifteen minutes before we actually will start - clever that.  But one of our shared gals who was two hours late yesterday with nary a word of apology was a complete no-show today, so I made the decision to fire her and replace her with one of our alternates who actually HAS been with us at every rehearsal and is usually standing in when we didn't have our other actors, so she's pretty familiar with everything - and she'll certainly sing her solo song just as well as this other gal would.

I heard from Sandy.  He did a lot better with the most recent chemo treatment.  No hospitalization required.
