My dinner at Tony di Napoli on 43rd Street was quite deelish, and the meeting with Kevin, our M&M producer, went very well. Things are in the works.

I had another No 7 bus mess at 42nd Street and 6th Avenue after dinner. I got to the stop just as a No 7 bus was crossing 42nd. I waved my arm like mad and the jerk driver kept right on going. i could see that he did stop at 45th Street. So, I had to wait over 20 minutes for the next to show up. I think I will buy a gun.

So, I got home around 8:00, full of caesar salad and ravioli, watched a Father Brown episode and went to bed around 9:30. At 10:30 our M&M music director woke me with a telephone call to tell me that he couldn't make our meeting today. Because of the hurricane threat, he was taking an earlier flight to his next job.

I went back to bed, and I had a horrible nightmare about a ghost in my parents' house that awoke me at midnight and kept me awake and pondering if the events were in my dream or whether something dangerous was haunting my apartment. I still don't know what the whole thing was about.

So I slept late and I have no meeting at 1:00. I may do laundry and go to market.

DR elmore I just checked "The Bookman's Tale" out of my ebook library. Since there is more than one book with this title please confirm the author is Charlie Lovett. Thanks.

Thank you for the heads up on that "version" of the Bernstein PETER PAN, DR Elmore!

What a travesty. I will listen to it once, and rather than send it back into the world... well, I shall think of some appropriate fate for it.

It has good things about it. I think Eder sings the songs well and the music is really lovely. Bernstein was conducting in Europe, I believe, and he left everything in the hands of Marc Blitzstein, who sent him a long letter (published in the Bernstein letters) about the show's rehearsals and how the music was progressing.

My major gripe is the poor scholarship involved in reconstructing the score and the recording notes. God knows where they found that baritone who sings nicely but makes Captain Hook an utter bore.

With Larry closing in on 39,000, the burning question is: Are we still congratulating your 1000's as mill-stones, or would Larry rather just have more of a hoopla for his 40,000 milestone?

I'm up, I'm up - first I was up after only three hours of sleep, then I got an additional two.

At 4:30, Richard and I are going to the Dean's reception at Miami University-Middletown, officially kicking off the 50th anniversary celebration. There's a public event going on from noon-4, but I have a football game to watch.

TOD:
I haven't heard it for a while, but it made me crazy when someone would use the word "anymore" instead of "nowadays." For instance, "I'm always late for meetings anymore."
Ever since I learned that "irregardless" should really just be "regardless" that bothers me.
Business writers are bothered by the new expression "growing the business" which is annoying.
Also, everyone uses the word "utilize" when they can simply say "use" and mean the same thing.
I'm probably more bothered by mispronunciations likes putting the accent over the wrong syllable in "comparable."
I still hear people say "literally" when they mean just the opposite - "figuratively." It was only about six months ago when I heard a woman say, "I was so mad, my head literally exploded." Really? I heard on the radio that Miriam-Webster's dictionary has actually added to the definition of the word "literally" to mean added emphasis. So they had to succumb to public pressure. That's so sad.

TOD: another one that puzzles me a bit is "Why is it always about you?" - it just seems that mostly every accomplishment we make has something to do with ourselves in some way, even if it's as altruistic as the good feeling we get from having done something for someone else.

But that's just me, I guess.

I just saw "The Danish Girl" on HBO for the first time. What a wonderful film that is. But the wife at one point says to her husband "it isn't always about you" and I felt like no one would have said that in 1930.

I always hear "literally at the drop of a hat."

I never pay any attention to it anyway, so it's no matter.

And the word of the day is: QUODLIBET!

I think Skip had a number that was listed in the program (and demo) by that name in the San Diego version of "Time and Again."

I personally could never fully grasp the fact that the word had nothing to do with the number four, which I guess is "quad" not "quod.".

I learned that word from Peter Filichia.

I think I first heard of the word from our very own Elmore, here on HHW...if I remember correctly (IIRC in Internet lingo).
