I worked on Guys & Dolls, up to "I'll Know."  Now I am back to "The Great Indoors."  We have our first full orchestra reading in three weeks and there is much to do.

[Jane]

I did my taxes yesterday......I get a big $6 refund from the Federal Government and a huge $57 refund from the State of Indiana.

WOW!  What are you going to spend it on

[Jane]

DR John I am pleased you enjoyed your special lunch.

[John G.]

Jane, I did not eat the fried chicken feet. I just didn't have an appetite for that.

[Jane]

LOL

We saw HIDDEN FIGURES today.  As expected it was excellent.

Several laughable nominations - all three Hidden Figures ladies should have been up.    The actors branch of the Academy is pathetic and predictable.  They doubt they even see half the movies they're supposed to and they just choose the name.

I agree all three ladies deserved nominations.  If only one could be chosen why wasn't it Taraji P. Henson?  Most of the story revolved around her.  I suppose this was another instant when they went with the name.

My mistake, Olivia Spencer was nominated for supporting, not best.  Now I am really shocked Taraji was not nominated for best actress.

Watching awards shows right now - with all the politically tinged acceptance speeches - is kind of like being invited to a party and then finding out your hosts want you to be under them in an Amway Pyramid.

Has anyone watchyed Mercy Street on PBS?  I've just caught part of an episode.

[Jane]

Nope.

Back from a fun meeting with Kay Cole - we went to PF Chang's and just had some egg rolls, and then we did our stint as judges - some good folks this year.  Then I stopped at Gelson's and got some pasta with meat sauce - not much, but very good.

Today, I will be ushering for the latest in the WCPA's Silent Movie Series:  HAMLET.  These are always great and I always look forward to them.

Well, the silent movie of "Hamlet" on its own was interesting.  The concept was that Hamlet was born a girl and the king and queen kept that from the people so that "he" could become the next king.  It was an enjoyable movie, with moments of unintentional humor, but otherwise, really well done.  As for the music, usually, Dennis James plays the organ and maybe have a singer for the pre-show or intermission talks to the audience, but tonight he included a piano/harpsichord player (he played the piano AND the harpsichord...not at the same time, though) and a soprano who sang during the movie.  It was all really well done and planned out.  He talked about what he did but that was during the pre-show speech which I didn't hear because I was in the lobby at the door, tearing tickets for the late-comers. 

[George]

Now that was interesting.  Margo counted the tickets once his talk started and there were 202 door tickets, BUT only 180 or so tickets were actually sold for this event!  It turns out that one of the ticket collecting stanchions still had tickets in it from January 14!  It turns out that 45 tickets were not counted for that event.  I assume that that particular stanchion hadn't been used since then because there have been a couple of events since then, and only tickets from the 14th were in the mix.  I've NEVER heard of that happening before.  Spoo!!

[George]

I went to bed quite early.  This ridiculous executive order banning Muslins got me really bent out of shape.  I like nothing abut the way the new administration is handling anything and I find myself either terrified for the safety of myself and everyone else or I am seething with anger at the despicable atrocities the administration is trying to pull off against its constituents.  I worry about my Medicare and Social Security, I am dumbfounded by the callous inhumanity of men who clearly went into politics for their own ends and not to serve the public, and I am in shock over their careless attitude of destroying health insurance for millions of citizens without providing a worthy alternate..

I am not suicidal but I'd rather be dead than live in a country that daily embarrasses me.

~~~Vibes of Comfort and Coping for Larry and EVERYONE!!~~~

[George]

Continued vibes for TCB.

~~~Ditto!!~~~

[George]

Please keep DR Kerry in your thoughts and prayers as well.

~~~Vibes of All Kinds for Kerry!!~~~

[George]

Randy just emailed me.  He's meeting with the realtor tomorrow about listing the property.  we are in agreement about holding out until the price moves back up, and I think talking to the realtor can only be helpful.

That's encouraging, Larry.

[George]

Great!  I still really want to see that.

Umm...her name is Octavia Spencer, not Olivia.

Darn.  I totally forgot about this.  I wonder if it'll be available on OnDemand.  I started recording in the middle of the repeat broadcast after the original showing, so I totally missed the first hour.
