It's almost hard to believe, but tonight we do! we do! in front of our preview audience.

T.O.D.

Natalie Wood's SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS always gets to me.

I was never a big Steve McQueen fan, so I'll say BULLIT. Not because of McQueen, but because the producer, Philip D'Antoni, was my publicity client at the time of its release.

HAVE A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR LAURA!

I'm working with this actor in the UK on an audio version of my Errol Flynn one-person play, and this guy is terrific.

We e-mail and Skype.

Usually, when doing these plays on audio, it takes 2-3 passes before the actor "gets it" (i.e. has the persona of the character right). This guy had Flynn on the first reading.

I love working with talented, cooperative people, and right now I'm working with five of them.

The others are doing Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Spencer Tracy and Basil Rathbone.

I should be sitting in a barber's chair at the moment but thanks to the Orange Baboon sitting in his nouveau riche gilt Trump Tower, Fifth Avenue has been closed all week and there is no easy access to my barber by bus. After waiting forever for the Fifth Avenue bus, it stopped at Columbus Circle, leaving me no option but to cancel my appointment and take a bus back uptown. It's so good of the NYC media to let us know that, thanks to the Orange fool making an ass of himself at the UN, the NYC populace is screwed this week.

Color me really pissed.

I am going to bury my anger in doing the laundry. I had planned to do it this afternoon, but the moment has arrived.

DR John G, I had to laugh at your comment last night about Virginia Woolf. Tonight my book group is discussing To the Lighthouse, which I found to be a real slog, but finished yesterday. Wasn't sure I'd get through it until I went online and found a character list.

Good news DR GINNY - it's always great to learn!

I am watching my cocoons carefully....but no new Monarchs yet....one looks very C L O S E to opening.

We expect temperatures in the low 90's today.....in September!

I got my pump off, but I can certainly tell the difference in waiting just one full week between treatments instead of two full weeks. Just very tired and moving S L O W L Y.
