Wednesday morning greetings!  Another slow morning here.  I have to shop for Mom and us today before Richard and I go to Miami University in Hamilton to hear David McCullough speak in the Colligan Lecture Series.  This is the series in which DR Elmore was last October's speaker.

DR Ginny, how was the MUM event last night?

DR Elmore, did you get the pictures I emailed last night?

The taping went well, but the faculty member who's usually there guiding the conversation didn't show up.  Ruth, the PR person, seemed a little rattled and the conversation rambled quite a bit.  It was mostly about Campus-Community Players and technical theatre issues.  We managed to get about 90 minutes of raw footage for the oral history and then we had a tour of the newly-refurbished auditorium.

I remember the fun and excitement of discovering Pez and its dispensers, but I don't know exactly when that was.  Probably closer to the 1960s.  Naturally, I thought it had just been invented then!

Don't know what dispensers I had as a kid.  I was actually surprised to discover, some years back, that they're still totally popular and that even some of the more contemporary ones are collectible.

Can't remember the last time I had one myself, though, or even when I last had a Pez candy in my mouth.

My niece collects the PEZ Dispensers.  I tried PEZ candy once when I was a wee child....and I didn't like the taste, so I haven't had any since....

DR Elmore, there was quite a bit of discussion about the sets for MAN OF LA MANCHA and YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN.  And the flaming drink fiasco in AUNTIE MAME...

Big Announcement Vibes for DR ELMORE.

DR JEANNE says she takes the child's dose of the Chestal cough syrup.....so I started doing that as well....and it works just fine!

Taking less and working, sounds good to me.

My Pez things seem to be of MGM cartoon characters - there are five or six of them.

These scary clowns are now in England.  A family I have become good friends with on facebook just had a very scary encounter with an evil clown.  Knife in hand he chased their daughter and her friends.  The mother said the frantic phone call from the daughter was the scariest one she has ever had.

DR JohnG, is Moliere's Imaginary Invalid the comedy with Frosine the matchmaker? She was the source for Thornton Wilder's Dolly Gallagher Levi.  I always confuse it with The Doctor In Spite of Himself.

In TAO's version of The Physician [sic] In Spite of Himself that we're doing in December (and I'm cast in it!), an early scene (the first?) has the husband (not played by me) beating the wife, but in our version, she likes it and is kind of upset that he has to stop. ;)

I really enjoyed the CD.  Now I want to listen to it again, but it's at home.
