Bye for now!

[ChasSmith]

It has become clear on my drives to and from the northern Cincinnati 'burbs that the muffler might be loose on my car.  We're going to try to take it to the shop before I have to leave for my 1:30 class.  I'm wondering if this is the beginning of the end for the Vibe - I've only had it 13 years...

No way, DR Ginny. Not unless there’s a ton of other stuff going wrong. Fixing or replacing a muffler, or even an entire exhaust system, is de rigueur in the scheme of things.

[ChasSmith]

Thus sayeth the man driving a 16-year-old Jetta.

DR Jrand67, is there any, um, educational (for archival purposes only) evidence pertaining to your ANNIE?

Note: Curious minds want to know, that’s all. Nothing to see here, folks, move along now.

(No promises, but it seems there may be something in the works on this end...)

QUIZ:

I have no idea what show or actors you are talking about, but I'm wondering if the actress who later became famous on TV was either Bonnie Franklin or Florence Henderson.

[Druxy]

T.O.D.

HBO is scheduled to show the remake of MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS this weekend, so if we're not with my visiting son, we will watch that.

We'll watch it anyway,because we're recording it.

[TCB]

Good morning.

[TCB]

Hmmm, that trivia question is a toughie.

[TCB]

So far, I have figured out that the two stars must be Pert Kelton and Sammy Davis Jr.; and the flop producer must be David Merrick.  But.... I am still digging.

[Jrand73]

LOL DR TCB.

[Jrand73]

I do not believe there is any evidence DR CHAS SMITH....but we shall see.

By the Time We Get to Reykjavik...isn't that a Glen Campbell song?

[Jane]

There was over a half-inch of rain in my rain gauge this morning. The ground is nice and soft, so I did some digging of grass roots.

Congratulations!

[Jane]

Today is the Feast of St. Lawrence. If you recall, last year we celebrated with hash browns and bad jokes with DR Kerry's partner. It is our own holiday.

How will you celebrate today?

[Jane]

Made-up holidays are the best.

You certainly make it seem so

[Jane]

Friday morning greetings!  Just a quick HI before I have to leave for Sharonville for my 3rd day of papercrafting classes, which have, so far, been fabulous.  Tomorrow is the trade shopping show and Rebecca is going with me.

I am glad you are having a fabulous time.

Not bad.  Hopefully it is only the muffler.

Good for you.

I may have told this before about Pert Kelton, Shirley Jones and Ronny Howard, but I dont recall:

Since Marian turns pro-Harold because of the effect on Winthrop:  there was a short time (it was around 2nd grade) when I was sure we’d find out Winthrop was actually Marian’s son, and Winthrop's father must have been the guy who left the library books to Marian.; I was sure Mrs. Paroo couldn’t have had Winthrop in her late 40s.   

In my age-7 revisal, Marian at the end of act 1 was seeing Harold as Winthrop’s father, which made me much more dramatically happy than Harold just being Winthrop’s brother-in-law (as in the real show).

This may have been colored by me already having loved the Shirley Jones - Ronny Howard interplay in the movie "Courtship of Eddie's Father" (all well before the Bill Bixby-Miyoshi Umeki TV series)

[Jane]

What an imagination you had at such a young age

I watched the NT LIVE production of the London FOLLIES last night.  I liked it very much.....perhaps I shall finish it today.

I have never seen the show, although I have heard the recordings.  It is a great show....and this is a very good production.  I liked the sets and costumes and the music is very well done.

Stand outs for me were Di Botcher as Hattie and Tracie Bennett as Carlotta....  The men were okay.

The two ladies Janie Dee (Phyllis) and especially Imelda Staunton (Sally) are not so hot.  I don't get the love the adulation for Staunton....I thought she was awful.....here and in GYPSY as well.  First of all, she's unattractive....and she is too short to have ever been a showgirl....she clacks her dentures and pops and rolls her eyes like she's in a silent movie...for me she's unwatchable and ruins every scene and song she's in....she is awful...

Dee is a bit better, but I don't think she understands her character very well...

British Actress Geraldine Fitzgerald isn't very good as the French actress either....her song pretty much flops....

ANYWAY....I look forward to seeing the rest of the show - in spite of having to sit through the above mentioned "performances."

There is also a video of a French production done in mostly English (a little bit of dialog is in French...I don't know why), but Solange is played by a man in drag.  Talk about unattractive.

Only??  Not to brag, but I've had my Ford Escort for 20 years.  June 14th was the 20th anniversary of its Gotcha Day!

I always wondered about that, too!

DR Ron's dear Mother is transferring to a hospital with a rehab unit to regain strength/mobility.

Vibes it will not be long before she may return home.

~~~SUPER DITTO!!~~~

[FJL]

What an imagination you had at such a young age  

I just couldn't make sense of Mrs. Paroo, who is the mom of both Marian and Winthrop, having given birth to Winthrop in her late 40s. The rest came from there.  And with three people working on the story, but the director also apparently dramaturging, no one thought maybe pair Mrs. Paroo off with someone so Winthrop could have a dad!!! )

[Jrand73]

I first saw The Music Man movie on TV and came in in the middle of it and just assumed Marian was a widow and that Winthrop was her son.....

[Jrand73]

DR GEORGE I do not think I will search on YouTube for that FOLLIES.

So, FJL has not guessed yet.  Amazing.
