Four!

[John G.]

I have several habaneros to harvest in the morning.

[John G.]

I will pickle them when I get back.

Monday evening greetings!  I blew off a morning session to go shopping at the Blick art supply store across the street.  Got to the convention center just in time to get a front row seat to hear author Scott Turow speak.  Then Richard and I met my grad school friend Vanette and we all went to the Gala Author Tea - lovely refreshments and a great panel of 6 novelists.  Vanette came back to our hotel for drinks and a visit.  After she left, we went across the street for Subway sandwiches for dinner.  Packing now for home while watching the Sister Act movies.

Behold the Dragon Burger. The pretzel bun is made with mushroom powder and there's mushroom mixed with the ground beef in the patty.

It's all for a James Beard contest that one of the local chefs has entered.

It was delicious.

[John G.]

It was served with a unicorn milkshake, which was a little too sweet for my tastes.

[John G.]

They both fed my pie hole quite nicely.

Watching Vivien Leigh and Claude Raines in Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra. Fun. Not great.

[John G.]

But it gives one the chance to say, "Ftatateeta!"

[John G.]

And we all want to say that!

Gratuitous post No. 100.

Where is everyone tonight?

[Ginny]

Remember when the maintenance guys had to address a plumbing problem late Friday night?  They had to tear out the back wall of our closet and left a mess all over the floor.  They said someone would clean it up first thing the next morning.  After 2 notes from Richard and 2 text messages from me, the mess was still there this evening.  On our way out for dinner we stopped at the desk, where Richard made it clear we're not pleased.  The upshot is that our account will be credited $75 and, about an hour ago, a housekeeper came and vacuumed our closet.

DR JRand, you've been on my mind all day...

[Jane]

DR John those photos are impressive.

[Jane]

DR Jrand, fingers crossed for day two.

Finished with my viewing and only fell asleep once - pretty good.

Had some pasta, butter, and sautéed chicken for my meal o' the day.

Page four?  Really?

How did you get your mouth around it?

Where is everybody today?

I was at rehearsal!

Gesundheit!

[George]

Tonight, the director staged "Good Morning Baltimore."  At first I wasn't going to be in the number (Velma and Corny aren't either), but then I asked who was going to be the flasher, and she asked if I wanted to be the flasher, and I said of course, so now I'm the flasher!  I'll have plenty of time to change into Spritzer for his first scene.

I think George and TCB best be making about twenty posts each in the next thirty minutes is what I think.

[George]

Okay, here's my attempt:

[George]

Tomorrow, we have another choreo/staging/music rehearsal at the director's house.

[George]

Tonight was the first rehearsal at her house, which was kind of a small playing space, but she said it was pretty close to the actual width of the stage that we'll be on.

[George]

That just doesn't seem right at all.

And now, we're here...
