In my way to City Center today, I will stop at the Post Office and mail a package of CDs to the Cole Porter Trust.

I'm going to see the Metropolitan Opera's Rusalka at the local bijou tonight.

I've been remiss at attending these and the piece is totally unfamiliar (but interesting) to me, so this will be good.

Got the email this morning, and I'm half tempted to order Stage Door Records' POCHATONTAS - THE WEST END MUSICAL.

Could be fun. Anyway, thinking about it.

Is that the one with Anita Gillette? An old acquaintance from Catskill, Kermit Goell, wrote that. Been meaning to get a copy myself.

Having laptop issues. Not making working from home easier.

I saw Rusalka at Houston Grand Opera in 1990 or 91 when I was working on Babes in Toyland. It was the start of Renee Fleming's career, when she was good. I had known the opera for years because of the "Song to the Moon," and I figured any opera with such a glorious opera had to be great. It's a beautiful fairy tale, more based on LaMotte-Fouquet's Undine than Hans Christian Andersen, who I think took his tale of a fish out of water from the earlier Undine.

And it is time to depart.

Anita Gillette as Pocahontas? Who is John Smith, Sergio Franchi?

Continued healing vibes for MR BK.
Chicken soup sounds good - I may try some today.

We got LOTS of wind and rain last night here, but no tornadoes.....lots of news reports of trees down and trash cans blown over.......

We will need lots of photos of the HHW NYC gathering. Everyone take a camera!

A bright beautiful blue day outside!

On the 25th, I won't be able to join the group before the show, but please count me in for anything after the show. (assuming all is well, of course)

It's a bright, crisp morning in Oakland CA today.

I spent last evening reveling in the Blu ray of "The Boy Friend".

LOVE IT!

If all goes according to plan, I'll be watching it tomorrow evening projected on my friend's 128-inch screen.

Wednesday morning greetings! We've been up a while to get our showers before Shawn arrived at 9am to put the finishing touches on our bathroom floor. We think that's the last we'll see of the contractors and the work that still needs to be done in there is ours to do - Richard's painting and I'm decorating (towel bars, cupboard handles, rugs, towels, etc.).

Ginny · « **Reply #49 on:** March 01, 2017, 07:58:09 AM »

DR Elmore, I would have been surprised if you had planned to join the pre-show brunch on the 25th. We'll look forward to seeing you at City Center. Also, Richard and I are in town until the 29th, so we'll save our Artie's visit until after the weekend.

Ginny · « **Reply #50 on:** March 01, 2017, 08:00:35 AM »

Considering Rob's trips to the basement for laundry, Richard's 4am screaming leg cramp, and 2 thunderstorms, I slept pretty well last night. The dream I remember involved being incarcerated with a bunch of tough women like on "Orange is the New Black."

John G. · « **Reply #51 on:** March 01, 2017, 08:24:09 AM »

I dreamt of work. Yawn.

I think this knee injection did some good. I slept rather well,

I think this knee injection did some good. I slept rather well, but I had several New Yorkers nightmares and one doozy in which I sang and forgot the lyrics to "Another Hundred People" to Stephen Sonfheim and a stadium full of people. I blame none of this on the injection.

That seems like a tough lyric to remember even not in front of a stadium full of people.

You're in good company, Larry...Liz Callaway totally goobered up the lyrics in THIS YouTube video.

Oh, my! 128-inch screen?? Wow!! That's almost 13 11 feet!

John G. · « **Reply #58 on:** March 01, 2017, 11:26:34 AM »

I don't know if I would want a 128-inch screen. I certainly wouldn't want to be involved with the handling and trying to get it through the door.

Let's move on.
