Four!

I hope today's m&m recording was a happier experience for you Elmore

Thanks, DR vixmom!  Today was a rehearsal of the singers for tomorrow, so I saw none of the folk with whom I am unhappy.  I'm back to them tomorrow.

DR Jane, the Broadway matinees all ran too long for us to be sure that we could get to the airport in time and we're both too tired to walk a lot, so the movie today was just right.

And a perfect movie too

Especially for me, since my book group is discussing the book at my house on April 20!

Interesting.  I am curious if the movie & book differ much as I never read it.

Well, in addition to receiving the off-Broadway cast recording to I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It On the Road in the mail today (here at work), I also received the songbook to Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman's The Slipper and the Rose that I bought on eBay a couple of weeks ago!  Here's the cover from the listing:

I just finished reading the book today at lunch!  I still haven't seen the movie.

If you do see the movie, I will be interested in your comparisons as well.  Chances are I won't read the book since I saw the movie.

I would assume that they are very different.  The nonfiction book is mostly the history from the early 1930s to the 1980s of NASA (formerly NACA), black women in the agency, civil rights in the south, Jim Crow laws, etc., plus moments of certain people's lives.  It's not just a narrative of someone's story at one point in time.

Since we had early morning trips, last minute appointments as we both needed things checked & removed unexpectedly, Keith suggested dinner out tonight.  We went to Beaches where everyone knows your name, at least the waitresses we like the best. 

Once again I had a biopsy.  I hope this time, vs the last two, I do not have to return for a deeper removal and begin the healing process again.

~~~Biopsy Vibes for Jane!!~~~

[Laura]

Aww, Jane. I'm sorry. I hope you get good news back.

Page four?  Really?

[John G.]

The movie Hidden Figures features several scenes that are said to be fictional, including the one where Kevin Costner removes the whites only sign by the bathroom.

The Einstein on the Beach viewing continues. The bird is not amused. The music is stressing him out. And it's calming me.

Thank you.

Thanks.  They are really more of an annoyance than a concern.

Did the book also contain fictional events?

Not from what I understand.

Biopsy vibes, Jane.

Going to the Fur Ball tomorrow. Love the name. It's a fundraiser for the Animal Defense League.

Yup...that's not in the book.

[John G.]

I swapped the music out. Watching an episode of the Frank Sinatra Show with Elvis as a special guest star. Frank sings Witchcraft, Elvis sings Love Me Tender. Sammy sings There's a Boat That's Leaving Soon for New York. And Nancy Sinatra dances, but not very well.

[George]

Well, I need to leave work and go home.

Be back later.

[Jrand74]

Movin' With Nancy - but not very far........

[Jrand74]

Vibes for DR JANE.

[vixmom]

Vixmom:  Waterbury, CT.  Seven Angels Theatre.  It would be the route you drove for Ragtime, but some 20 minutes shorter.  If you're interested I'll get you my dates.

Yes please!!!

[Jane]

Thank you DR Jrand.

[John G.]

I'm thinking it's time for sleep.

But first ...
