To continue from last night: After dinner, we drove Margo's daughter home, then we went to see The Merry Wives of Windsor performed outside at a local park. I knew most of the cast and got to chat with most of my friends after the show, so that was fun.

After some 'net surfing, it's time for bed. Today will be the family's first family dinner together in several weeks. We're going to have spaghetti. I'm bringing some diet Pepsi and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. I'm sure it'll all be good.

Have a good day, all!

Sleep was not very deep last night. So I feel tired. And hot.

I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. The first issue was Stella, who was completely wound up, running, jumping, climbing everywhere. Then Thatch joined her and they chased each other through the apartment.

The other reason was my heartbreak and anger over a 2-year-old dog named Don, who was rescued from euthanasia on Tuesday at the last minute by RescueDogsRescueSoldiers. Yesterday, the hottest day of the year so far, Don was put into a crate to be transported to the rescue for training. Thanks to the incompetence of the Brooklyn Animal Care Center and the moronic transport driver, Don's cage was put into the back of a van with no air conditioning for a 4-hour ride, not accounting for traffic issues or other problems. Don was dead on arrival. To make this situation even more hellish, Don had been neutered on Friday. God knows what pain and discomfort he was already in before he died.

I'm still in shock for this poor animal, who was off to a possibly wonderful life.

As soon as I take care of the litter and our patrol, I'm going nowhere today. It's some CDs, DVDs, and telly for the four of us.

HORRIBLE story about that poor dog. That’s beyond shocking. Words fail me.

The older 300-seat theater we’re in has great AC but it definitely had trouble keeping up with yesterday’s temperature and humidity, and the second show was more challenging than the first. Just one today, fortunately, then it’s goodbye to OZ.

Loved the REAR WINDOW notes.

BK, I’d guess Hitchcock did this a few times, but that pretty much described the evening I saw it at LACMA in early (Feb?) 1973. It was the kickoff to the two-week retrospective (in which I saw a number of his films for my first time), he provided the print, and Charles Champlin moderated the Q&A afterward. I’m thinking James Stewart might have been there as well, but I could be conflating that with another occasion.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2019, 06:11:47 AM »

Also for BK: I don’t recall ever hearing about this Brent’s Deli in Northridge. Is this a new find, or am I just not remembering?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** July 21, 2019, 06:13:58 AM »

Okay, another full day and I must get on with it.

But it’s also the last day of this heat, thank the gods.

Have a good Sunday, everyone.

Annabelle, after nearly two years, has become a veteran elevator rider. As soon as she leave the apartment, she goes directly to the elevator for her ride to the first floor, and when she's bored with exploring, she leaves me sitting on the lobby steps to go back to the elevator to wait for me.

Sunday - auditions for PICNIC at 3 p.m. Hopefully a couple of studs will show up....who can sort of act.

Sometimes the trick in community theatre is just putting someone where he can do the least damage.....

I never thought I would see a photo of chickens eating grapes....until I saw it here on HHW.

Since there was nothing decent on television, wife Sandy and I watched 3 movies on DVD yesterday:

1. DAVE w/Kevin Kline
2. DARK BLUE w/Kurt Russell
3. THE EDDIE CANTOR STORY w/Keefe Brasselle

DAVE was the best.

A Neighborhood Story:

A Comcast truck comes to a house. The next day or so, and AT&T truck comes to the house. A few days later the AT&T truck comes back to the house. The next day, the Comcast truck comes back to the house.

The End.

Well SEND ME NO FLOWERS is done.

We had a sold out audience....including some repeat viewers. The cast was very UP and ready for a wonderful closing night.

And then.....and then....and then.....

For some reason, our genius director decided in his curtain speech to instruct the audience that they were to behave as if they were watching an old fashioned melodrama....to applaud all of our entrances....to boo and hiss if they didn't like something....and otherwise interact with us.....

Which completely confused the audience and killed all of our laughs....we played to a comparatively QUIET house. Things that had gotten HUGE laughs the previous six performances got NO response....it was sad, frustrating, and confusing....

Add to that - the woman who QUIT the show who fancies herself the person to "get the audience going" continued to laugh her LOUD ANNOYING LONG laugh - which of course shut the audience down even more....

As I said....it was a sad ending to what should have been a triumph.

If Hal looks great with his shirt off, half the battle is won. I hope several options show up for you.
