Thanks MR BK - I try.

Yes, DRCP - those are the characters. I just found out today that a television pilot was filmed in 1958 featuring the detectives. Billy Pearson was Donald Lam and Benay Venuta was Bertha Cool. Miss Allison Hayes played a supporting role as Evaline Dell.

What is this? A slow newsday in HHW-Land?

Good Afternoon!

I just wanted to pop in before I head in for tonight's show - only five more performances to go! -Not that I'm counting or anything like that. *And in the weirdness that is DC Theatre, we're only 48% full tonight - at least as of Wednesday. Otherwise, we've been practically at overflow the rest of the week, and the rest of the weekend is practically SRO. In any case...

Final count: 4 dozen Crispy Chocolate Chippers, 5 dozen Cantuccini (almond Biscotti), 4 dozen Oatmeal-Chocolate-Chip-Pecan-Toffee Cookies, and 4 dozen Not-Your-Average Peanut Butter Cookies.

....And I managed to get my one hour workout in, and a trip to the cake supply store (I needed boxes and cake circles), and the grocery store (I was running dangerously low on maple syrup and light brown sugar!).

WHEW!!!!!

So, I shall catch up on today's posts once I'm back from the show, although I sense I'll be baking a cake - or two - when I get back tonight.

-I'm basically cleaning out my pantry here so I don't have to lug all of it back to Richmond. And in the process, I'm ~~fattening up~~ providing my cast and crew with treats. -And we're not even up to Closing Night yet!?!?!?!

OK - I must dash away, dash away onward - whatever that means? -Where the heck did that come from?!?!?!

Laters...

Back from being sick and not completly recovered.

Been watching Night Court Season 1.

Listing to the 2500 songs or so on my I Pod on suffle play.

Did you mean Soufflé play DR Michael?

Hope your road to full recovery is speedy.

Well, I'm back from Barnes & Noble and a wonderful dinner at Artie's. Around 4:45 this afternoon, Miss "Jewish Thighs on Broadway" herself showed up , visited with us clerks for around 15 minutes and then she and I took ourselves to Arties, where Miss PennyO had chicken in a pot, which looked great, smelled delightful, and tasted divine. I had matzoh ball soup, potato pancakes and applesauce, which was quite wonderful, and Artie's is very generous with their pickles and cole slaw.

Chris Meloni was in the store today, and yesterday I met Robbie Benson (voice of the Beast) and his lovely wife Karla DeVito at the Rodgers & Hammerstein offices. I heard three wonderful songs from a show they're writing, and their vocals were fantastic.

My alma mater, The University of Michigan, today lost one of its most accomplished and beloved alumni, Arthur Miller. In tribute: "Sing to the colors that float in the light: Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!"

Another out-of-towner who has 5 weeks to recover before our big get together for Penny's show in New York! Feel better, Michael.

Must be siesta time. Soon Miss Tammy Minoff and friend will be here and we're supposedly going to eat Thai food.

Evening all!

I’m finely on the mend. Again. I guess what can’t be cured must be endured. Sigh. I’m only praying that this doesn’t happen when I’m in NY.

On the bright side, I was reading about NY in March and learned that you can go ICE SKATING at Rockefeller Center! I am SO there! I have always wanted to try ice skating!

I may even do a triple lutz! I may not mean to do a triple lutz but I might do one just the same.

Are there any plans on the book signing yet? Is it Friday or Saturday? I only ask because I want to start planning what I’m going to do on what days. I’ve already decided to go see “Fiddler on The Roof” Friday night. My “must” see/do’s (besides the book signing/get together) are go the museum, go to the zoo/Central Park again, go ice skating and ride the subway.

I think I can spend Monday going to the zoo/Central Park in the morning, the Museum in the afternoon and as there are no shows on Monday night, maybe the Planetarium.

If the book signing is Saturday, I shall go ice skating on Friday and maybe do Grand Central Station as well.

Anyway, just thought I’d check on how everyone else’s plans are shaping up.

I'm at work, but not for long. Tonight, I'm going to the show Closer Than Ever that my friend Nona (who died on Wednesday

) was in. A friend of mine saw the show last night and said that they did a real good job with how they did the tribute to her.

I'm going to eat dinner first, then the show. I'm sure I'll have some sort of report when I get back.

Danise · « **Reply #160 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:16:38 PM »

Now that I've had time to go back and read some other posts, I see I am not the only one under the weather. So sorry to hear that you were not feeling well DR Michael Shayne. I hope that your doing much better.

Kerry · « **Reply #161 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:29:06 PM »

Sure Jose--
First it was cakes for everyone else. Now it's cookies. What next?!?!? Better that your theatre friends should get all the goodies, and the people who really matter get nothing. ***sigh***** $:-\$

Kerry · « **Reply #162 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:29:33 PM »

BONGO

I forgot to say it yesterday.

Did everyone go on vacation? And what is this malarky about Jay being too busy to be at his computer? Me no believe. Me think it is something else.

I'll be on my way to eat shortly, so keep the home fries burning until my returning. I want some fine reading matter.

And lest anyone forgets - BOHEMIAN!

Ginny · « **Reply #165 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:36:38 PM »

Danise - Are you staying at the Muse or at the Milford Plaza? If you're at the Muse, you'll be pretty close to Rockefeller Center. I'm staying at the Comfort Inn-Midtown, on 46th St., right across the street from the Muse. When I stayed in the same hotel in October, I walked over to RC a couple of times.

As far as skating is concerned, I used to do a lot of it when growing up in Michigan. Haven't been on skates for well over 30 years, though. Watching is more my speed now.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #166 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:55:58 PM »

Watching the two TREKKER films on Showtime. I saw the first one a few years ago, but this is the first time I am seeing the "update" movie. Interesting. And fun.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #167 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:56:53 PM »

DR KERRY send me your pic for re-sizing.

Iris* · « **Reply #168 on:** February 11, 2005, 06:58:21 PM »

DR Elmore- In the "strange but true" department, I had chicken in the pot at Artie's 2 nights ago. My friend had matzoh ball soup, potato pancakes, and applesauce. I love that deli. May I assume that your Barnes and Noble is the one across the street from Artie's on the corner?

Vixmom-thanks so much for the photos. They put a great big bohemian smile on my face!

Ginny · « **Reply #169 on:** February 11, 2005, 07:12:26 PM »

DR Iris - Congratulations on your recent no-longer-a-newbie status! Will you be at the get-together for Penny's show on March 19?

Jane · « **Reply #170 on:** February 11, 2005, 07:47:43 PM »

Larry, you didn’t have rice pudding?

Jose, please send me your peanut butter cookie recipe.

Jane · « **Reply #171 on:** February 11, 2005, 07:52:47 PM »

We have a very nice dinner in town this evening at Tabu, the Nuevo Latin restaurant which is one of our local favorites. In fact Penny has eaten there a couple of times with us. They have a new chef and I was a bit nervous, but the food was better than ever.

Now we are off to watch something.

Matt H. · « **Reply #172 on:** February 11, 2005, 08:11:21 PM »

Oh, boy, did STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE spring a big surprise in the last few moments of tonight's episode. Won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but it looks like (at least from that one scene) that they had a strong indication that this was going to be their last season weeks ago when this episode was filmed.

Matt H. · « **Reply #173 on:** February 11, 2005, 08:12:27 PM »

DR Elmore, was Chris Meloni at B&N shopping personally or were they filming his series on location in the store?

Matt H. · « **Reply #174 on:** February 11, 2005, 08:14:43 PM »

Watching the early episodes from CSI:MIAMI reminded me that Kim Delaney was on the show for a few episodes before leaving the show abruptly. It never did come out exactly why she left the show. Does anyone know for sure?

Matt H. · « **Reply #175 on:** February 11, 2005, 08:16:14 PM »

DR Michael Shayne, did we know you were sick? ANyway, hope you continue to get better. Did you ever get your HDTV questions ironed out?

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #176 on:** February 11, 2005, 09:22:23 PM »

Media check:
DVD player: Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (one of two DVDs I own)
CD player in the car: Jason Graae Live at the Cinegrill

It has been raining since yesterday. I think that's all I have to say today.

That's it? Eight posts since I left at seven? Oh, well.

bk · « **Reply #178 on:** February 11, 2005, 09:52:06 PM »

So, at 9:52 we have a WUSSBURGER attack. I ask you.

We had Thai food, and I was reasonably good about not overeating. But, then Tammy and I went to Stanley's and had huge desserts and now I cannot even move.

Well, AOL is being retarded again, so it's Safari for me.
