5IVE!!

[George]

I am home from a lovely luncheon with Rob Berman. 

The Big Announcement
Encores! is performing the 1930 Cole Porter musical The New Yorkers, which had several songs written by Jimmy Durante for Jimmy Durante to perform in the show. Only a couple of the Durante songs exist, so the rest of the score is being filled out with other Porter songs.  The performance dates are March 22-26, and the show will be orchestrated by Josh Clayton and Larry Moore.


 

CONGRATULATIONS, LARRY!!

Wow!  I just got another great review from WONDERFUL LIFE.

Counter to Bailey’s selfless nature is Puget Sound acting juggernaut Tom Birkeland and his money-at-all-cost portrayal of Mr. Potter. No one in the 253, 206, 360 or 425 area codes could have done better. No one. Period. Full stop.

CONGRATULATIONS, TOM!!

George or Tom, where do you suggest we stay Saturday night?

I personally don't know, but I found this from Trip Advisor:
https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g58653-Olympia_Washington-Hotels.html

And this from Expedia:

Hope this helps!

I thank you, all, for the congratulations and nice compliments. I'm hoping this is a sign that things are picking up.

Anybody up for an HHW gathering in March 2017?

A March 2017 HHW get-together sounds great!


And also, for folks in New York and surrounding areas, we also have another HHW get together the following month, Tues April 18, or on Wed April 19, while DR Matthew is in town.

After March 22, please!  I may still be writing up to that first performance.

Sami's home throwing up, so she's missing her rehearsal, which is not good so she'll have to come early on Saturday as she was not prepared on Monday and I need my time to work with her on the interpretation of the song.

DR JANE - I have tossed my comforter where Precious slept, thrown away her dog bed....and got new ones of both.

All other surfaces have been cleaned and sprayed with Lysol....so any flea that may have escaped will have no where to go.....

Lysol kills fleas?  I had no idea.  Watch Precious carefully that none of the treatments make her ill.  She is probably ok but it is better to be careful.  I'm glad you didn't get any Hartz products.  When we were first married we almost lost a cat due to a reaction to a Hartz product.  I still read about pets getting seriously ill from this brand.

Get well vibes for Sami, and stay well vibes for everyone that was near her!!

Thanks George.  Is there an area you think is nice, or one that we should avoid?

[Jane]

The book I am currently reading, "Before the Wind" by Jim Lynch, takes place in Olympia & Seattle.  Most of the book takes place at the docs or in the water so that doesn't help me.

I don't know of any place/area to avoid.  I think if you'll be fine...I hope.

Topic of the Day:

Café Society
Deadpool
Doctor Strange
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Finding Dory
Florence Foster Jenkins
Ghostbusters
Hail, Caesar!
Star Trek Beyond

I'm sure that I've seen more than these, but these are what I can remember.  I certainly liked all of these.

Of course, I'm REALLY looking forward to The Arrival and Rogue One!

[Jrand74]

I think we have always been Fashion Forward here at HHW.

Feel better vibes for Sami.

DR JANE - I'm not sure that Lysol kills fleas, but it can't be healthy for them!  There were very few fleas on Precious, and the doctor thought there weren't very many around.  She was just very sleepy from her two shots and her pill, so she slept very well....for the last couple of days....and slept almost through the night Tuesday and Wednesday.  That was good for me, too!

[Ron Pulliam]

Jack, do you use those fleat/tick ointments that can be applied to the nape of a cat's or dog's neck?  I found them super-effective back when I had cats.

Apparently it was something she ate - she's coming in about an hour.

[FJL]

Great to know Sami is feeling better!

[George]

Well, I must be off.  I'm going to my sister's because my cousin and his wife are up visiting from Coquille, Oregon.  I'll visit for a while then head to the theater.  Even though my call time isn't until 7:25 because I'm not in the first act at all (except to help with one scene change half-way through), I have the till and concessions for (hopefully) tonight's preview audience, and all of that should be there and set up before the door opens, so I'll drop that off at the theater before I go to my sister's.

Be back later.

[Jane]

Using it on the dogs we were lucky and never needed it for the cats, except during a flea epidemic that year the cat almost died.  That was long before we had dogs.

Don't work her too hard.

It sounds like you got them in time.

Back, from watching a few various and sundry things, and then (we should have done this first) watching the first fifteen minutes or so of LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME, one of the most stunning CinemaScope transfers I've seen yet.  It's incredible.  I'm bleeding money these couple of months but am ordering my copy right now.

Back to A Place to Call Home. I hope to finish the first disc tonight.

And this is BIG!!! Congratulations Elmore!!! I am so pleased for you

Rehearsal is done.

[vixmom]

Wow!  I just got another great review from WONDERFUL LIFE.

Counter to Bailey’s selfless nature is Puget Sound acting juggernaut Tom Birkeland and his money-at-all-cost portrayal of Mr. Potter. No one in the 253, 206, 360 or 425 area codes could have done better. No one. Period. Full stop.

Excellent!!! Sure the is no chance of a geltoob ?

Done is rehearsal.

Back to A Place to Call Home. I hope to finish the first disc tonight.

The current episode was very good.
