FROM YESTERDAYFor FREDCongrats on The Last Starfighterand don't forget to tell them the cast album can be on sale in the lobby during intermission and after the show!
Condolences to DR TCB on the loss of his friend Sandy. The memories you posted were very nice.
I mentioned to my oncologist yesterday that I had been "marked" for radiation therapy and asked how that would work with the chemo regimen he was outlining....or would they be done at the same time....He was quiet for a moment, and then he said he knew NOTHING about any planned radiation treatment for me....he got on the computer to look at all of my test results, etc., and then left saying he wanted to talk to the radiation doctor.He came back several minutes later and said there would be a meeting on Thursday between him, the surgeon, and the radiation doctor to settle on the correct treatment.I am a medical battleground....most interesting. He was very angry....he will call me tomorrow after the meeting.

Wednesday morning greetings! Just finished reading A Man Called Ove. One of my book groups is discussing it in an hour and the other is discussing it next month.

Quote from: bk on June 07, 2017, 12:41:27 AMListening to the 1957 recording of Persephone - a beautiful work by Stravinsky, released in mono - only guess what - sixty years later they found stereo tapes - seems as though it was slated for release at that time, cancelled, slated again two years later, and cancelled again and forgotten about. And the sound - they don't do it better today, that's all I can tell you. Stunning.So, will it never be released?

I went out with Randy on some errands, and we stopped by Enterprise to see if a rental car was ready for me. It was, and I now have a cute little red Hyundai for the week.
Ask BK:Your comment from last night intrigues me:QuoteThe folks who tech for the big LA theaters, including our team, have, I suppose, the classic way of doing tech - which I don't like, but I'm not gonna change these folks, even though if they actually did it my way they'd love it and change instantly. But cues are being written as we go, which means we move VERY slowly - we're not quite halfway through and it's pretty clear we won't get a run-through tomorrow, so Thursday everyone's gonna have to be back on their A game VERY quickly.As someone who's usually got his head buried in a keyboard book during tech rehearsals (and sometimes just as grateful for the extra moments for working my own stuff out), I'd be very interested to know what the difference is between your method and the standard. I know I've been through a few that proceeded surprisingly quickly, but snail's pace has been more the norm.

My flight was a breeze yesterday. I thank the HHW vibes that it was on time and that the rain screwed nothing up.
