Hey TCB, did you ever find the video of your Mr. Maraczek? I think you said way back when that it might never be found, but one always hopes.

TOD:

Hard to say. I'm a big eater in general, which is something I try to control. Sometimes. But I'm absolutely out of control in buffet situations, so a few of my record breaking achievements have to have taken place in such venues.

Okay, wait, it isn't at all hard to say. By definition, the winners are the two or three times I actually ate myself into being sick later. I always recall one in particular, and I'll think of the other one(s) sooner or later. That one time, I had stuffed myself with snacks in the car on my way to a friend's place that was over an hour away, followed by eating a lot there (partially out of politeness, and we probably had a couple of drinks which made even more food go down easily), followed by inexplicably stuffing myself again later on the hour-long drive home. In bed that night, I still had an extremely uncomfortable overstuffed feeling, and before long I was in the bathroom praying to the porcelain god. This was pure self-inflicted misery, and there's no discernible explanation for it.

After typing that, I still don't recall other times, but there were indeed a couple.

So tonight we're back in the saddle with Disaster!

I shall take a quick look through the book to make sure there's nothing I was supposed to remember or tweak or whatever, then once again it'll be time to pack and load everything into the car. This time, at least, the gear will stay there for the next two weeks.

We have tech/dress rehearsals tonight through Thursday, then Friday off, and shows on Saturday and Sunday. Final dress rehearsal applies to the band, too, as we'll be onstage wearing frilly colored tux shirts.

The Friday off thing is so weird, but that's what the two major theaters in that part of the state have done for years. I've never encountered it elsewhere. Friday is dark and Saturday night is the opening. So, on the first weekend there are only two performances, and a regular three on the following weekend of the two-week run. I have no explanation for this.

Does anybody know is actor Jon Cypher is still with us?

If so, what's he doing?

(I knew Jon back in the day.)

Checked the imdb, and find no DOD, yet he has no credits after 2001.

Today for example is the Cancer Survivor Ice Cream Social at my local St. Francis hospital....where I had all of my radiation and chemotherapy treatments and where my surgeon and oncologist have offices.....so I AM THERE.

Two of my sisters and I are going....there will be Ice Cream Eaten.

Looks like he had an accident playing Fagin in Pittsburgh CLO a few years back and still needs the cane.

I've returned to work full time because it turns out I did not have long term disability.

When I'm not at the job I've been working on the rewrites for my play which has its reading on Monday. Another rehearsal tomorrow.

Because it's under an Equity contract we are limited to the number of hours we can rehearse. The actor can only do 29 hours including the performance.

It has been interesting to see where it was a year ago and the current draft.

There will be a workshop this summer and another reading in NYC in December is planned.

UGH!

Sorry to hear it, DR John G.

I was threatened with that a couple of years ago, then another shop said I needed a hose fitting or something replaced, and the engine-reporting problems disappeared immediately thereafter (still knocking wood).

I have too many tales for the TOD. One of my favorites was the day in which I went to eight barbecue joints in one day. It was in southeastern Texas near the Louisiana border. During that time, I visited my favorite barbecue place in the state, Killen’s, and had a massive beef rib with espresso sauce. At the end of the day, I had eaten so much I was sore. But I still had the barbecue crabs place to visit. They set a plate of six large crabs in front of me. It was so good, I polished off the whole plate.

He was Julie Andrews' Prince in the 1956 Cinderella.  I saw him in Man of La Mancha as Dr Carrasco, and I believe he was one of the three possible fathers of Mrs Campbell's daughter in the Alan Jay Lerner-Burton Lane Carmelina.

I did not get to the podiatrist, thanks to the screwed up MTA buses.  At 57th and Fifth, I called my HMO, told them there was no way I'd be there close to my time, and rescheduled for next Monday.  I then stopped at Pildes and they told me my glasses - with insurance - would cost me $700+ which I refused to pay.  When they got it down to $511.00 I purchased them.  I need to talk to my HMO.

Tuesday morning greetings!  The temperature has cooled and the humidity has dropped, so we have our windows open and it's lovely.  This won't last, I know, but we're enjoying the fresh air while we can.
