Great notes.....I don't think I appreciate Mary Martin as much as I should, but her Peter Pan was so cloying and confusing to me when I saw it on television (why is that OLD woman pretending to be a young boy?) .... that I can't get past it.  I like her on the Sound of Music OBC, and a bit less on the South Pacific OBC....but that's horse racing, I guess.

I am enjoying reading everyone's lists....and I am sad I did not get to see so many of these folks.....

TOD:
Ethel Merman
Janis Paige - I love the Pajama Game OBC, and I was surprised when I checked the score I discovered her flats were not in the songs....
Robert Preston

Martin can be too coy. But she can also be ridiculously funny.

She was wonderful as Dolly Gallagher Levi.  It was my intro to HELLO, DOLLY! and I thought she was amazing.   I wish that broadcast of THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH with her and Helen Hayes wpi;f be released on DVD.

Nothing on the calendar for today. So I took a long walk to the grocery store.

It's nice to be able to walk outside in the morning before it hits 90.

When The Fantastiks came back to New York probably about 12 years ago or so I was able to snag front row center seats for a Sunday matinees.  When we arrived at the theatre I was surprised to find that we were essentially on the stage...if we had stretched out our feet we would have tripped up the actors. 

Tom Jones was playing the old actor  and he kept playing to The Vixter who was about 11 or 12 at the time, at one point scooping up handfuls of confetti from the stage floor and dumping them on her lap (much to her delight)

During intermission we ran into Elmore who happened to be at the same performance and who mentioned that he was personal friends with Mr Jones.

After the show Elmore kindly brought us back and introduced us to the great man himself.


A cherished memory.   

A great story.  I hope to see the show one day.

So it turns out that I am not  quite smart enough to figure out these new fangeled calendar thingies (you know the paper ones that hang on the wall and have all those confusing boxes and numbers and days of the week and stuff)

It's so small on my iPad or phone I don't see the notification.  My answer is a very happy YES!

I've spent part of the afternoon looking online at young cats for adoption.  I think Annabelle needs a companion around her age so I've been looking at cats in the age range of 8 months-2 years.

Yes, but she prefers the fish on a pole.

No, sadly.  Much as I love little Petunia, I think I need to find a cat closer to Annabelle's age.

If Petunia is getting publicity, she will be adopted.

She's become the voice of the Bedford rescue group:
