Well, you've read the notes, the notes were pretty good and spoke of tacos, and now it is time for you to post until the pretty good cows come home.

Good morning, all!

I have to leave the apartment just before 8:00 to make my eye appointment on East 22nd by 9:15.

I think I will get drops to dilate my pupils this session and I really hate that. I'll be blind for some period of time after, and I need to make my way to 8th Avenue and 43rd Street for our rehearsal at noon.

DR JRand65, pack up those instruments and get to New York fast. We're so low budget that we cannot afford your travel, but there's always room for a virtuoso performer on spoons or washboard.

I am really saddened by the news of my beloved Marni Nixon's death. She was a truly beautiful person. and the world is a little less bright today. I didn't see her often enough in the thirty years I knew her, but they were always wonderful surprises: sitting directly behind her at the penultimate performance of the Broadway production of RAGS, being able to offer her our extra ticket at Juilliard for a performance of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, running into her on 72nd Street after BK's Kritzerland show, the last time I saw her.

I do not want to step outside today. My air conditioned cocoon is so pleasant.

No political thought to this - Both VP nominee Tim Kaine and his wife Anne graduated in my law school class. I remember Anne very well from school days, but I don't remember Tim from school at all. I wonder if I was in the same classes as Anne more often.

DR Elmore just struck a mighty blow with the news of Marni Nixon's death.

This one hurts. RIP, beautiful woman.

Well.....some bastards stole some of the roofing materials our of our driveway late last night or early this morning.....

Work was supposed to start tomorrow.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #14 on:** July 25, 2016, 05:32:11 AM »

DR Elmore, here's a snapshot I didn't even know I had until at some point long after the event.
I don't think I ever posted it, either. But even if I did...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #15 on:** July 25, 2016, 05:33:02 AM »

And of course...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** July 25, 2016, 05:42:04 AM »

Well, I must get me busy and prepare to get to my post-veneering checkup at the dentist.

Thankfully, the rest of today, all day tomorrow, and the morning and afternoon of Wednesday, are MINE. And boy do I need them.

When we were in Ireland, filming THE DOORWAY, Roy Scheider and I had a lot of late night discussions about "the business".

We both agreed that THE RUSSIA HOUSE began the downward slide of his career. It's not that he shouldn't have taken the role, but he should not have accepted the below-the-title billing unless it was a special billing (e.g. "and Roy Scheider as...") the same size as Connery & Pfiefer.

Indeed, career-wise, billing is more important than money in this business.

We were so thrilled to meet Marni Nixon that night on 72nd Street and send our condolences to all who love her.

Well, it certainly is Monday.

I did nt get drops in my eyes and thought, I'll head home. I can be there by 10:30 and then re;ax for 45 minutes before I head to rehearsal. Nope, thanks to damned traffic. It took me an hour to get home. So I'll leave in 10 minutes. I think I can bus to Columbus Circle, then take a subway to 42nd and 8th Avenue.

Richard has seen the chiropractor today and I've been to the post office. Home now, plugging away at Project Mom.

And yes, if I decide to direct 34TH STREET, then I won't be appearing in WONDERFUL LIFE.

Vibes you get the show you most want to do!

Though we would prefer to see you on stage we will do our best to go up to either show.

But then there won't be the possibility of us acting together.

I know. Oh, I guess there is the possibility we will need to go up for two shows, maybe an evening show and a matinee.

Does NY offer any kind of shuttle service for people with disabilities? At times I believe you would qualify.

Do you have to pay for that or are the roofing people insured?
