There's tons of stuff here that needs attention. I tried to get Brian, my cleaning guy, here last week, but his work schedule changed at the last minute. (He has a full-time job, plus a part-time job, and moonlights for me.) This coming week he's fully booked. I knew this would happen. He's bright and hard-working; it was just a matter of time until someone saw his worth.

The Broadway producer at DR GEORGE's post is not as nice as he seems....it seems....

What good is it for a theatre company to have permission to present the Sorokin version when they've spend five or six weeks set building, lighting, sound designing, and the actors have LEARNED the Sergal version?

I still have a landline, too. It prevents my internet bill from being $60 higher a month.

Could you explain this, please? Are you referring to one of those packages that includes, internet, phone, and TV?

BK mentioned THE THIRD SECRET. I went over to Netflix to look it up, thinking I'd rent it. It seems I did so in 2007 and gave it 5 stars. I have no recollection of this. I guess I should watch it again. The advantage of memory lapses is that everything old is new again, right?

I'm up, I'm up - almost eleven hours of very needed sleep.  I'll go gather the mail at some point soon.

I had a bad night. On top of a bad night Wednesday night. I can handle one, but two in three days is too much!

Sorry.  Sleep well tonight.

This email mess is working my last nerve.  I have not had a return call from my former Mac Mecanix's son, my friend Heller has left me in limbo at present - not his fault but it's not helping me out - and I may have to schlep the damned thing down to 20th Street to Mike's Tech Shop next week @ $100/hr service.

I looked around a bit on the web for solutions DR ELMORE - and I can't find anything specific for you.

Sorry for the E&T-ness the past few months. My plan is to stay scarce so long  that when I come back, everyone will be happy to see me!  :)

It's always nice to see you, Fred.

Sadly, yes. It's one of the many reasons I love AT&T so much.

Saw that Hugh Fordin died. I have a number of his albums. Wonder what this means for the future of DRG.

I've been gone enough that I don't know if anyone got my last Cross Works, so here's an expansion of it:

This involves three actors with linked names.  But get the first one and the rest is easy.

Who starred in Hello, Jupiter Moon!?

I discovered that Kevin Pollack has (had?) a YouTube interview show.  I watched a 2+ hour conversation with Tom Hanks today.  It was like bing a fly on the wall at a dinner between friends.  I really enjoyed it.

Been listening to Sting's score for The Last Ship a lot lately. There are a few really strong songs in it. I see that he's bringing a production of the show, with him starring in it, to LA in January. I may have to make a weekend trip for that.

I see that the talentless Rob Ashford is set to direct the film version of Sunset Boulevard with Glenn Close.

Filming on Cats was supposed to have begun in December. Did it?

Is this his first attempt to mangle another medium after his gifts to choreography and stage directing?

Who is the audience for a film of Sunset Boulevard? Close's last picture, The Wife, seems to have debuted on airlines. And she and Jonathan Pryce were the only reasons to watch.
