Last night Vixdad took me to a crepe place a few times away for dinner.

You're into time travel? That is so cool! Can you take me back to 2010 or so, when I actually worked?

Feel better vibes for the DF of DR George!

That year would work perfectly for me, too, if you don't mind. Much appreciated, thanks.

2010 was when I got laid off. It was actually a good year for me.

Happy birthday to George’s dad!

It is nice when losing your job is a good thing.

Today, I'm taking the day off from work. It's my dad's 81st birthday and we're all going to go to my parents' house to celebrate.

I hope it's a great day for your family, DR George!

X-rays accomplished. The entire shebang and bus rides took me about 90 minutes. Tomorrow I may spend the day at City Center with Joshie. I need to call him and confirm.

Good test result vibes!

174%! Just a little more and we'll be adding all those extra videos and a third commentary with me and Marshall Harvey.

2010 would be great for me too! The years of cyberstalking started by Encores' and Broadway Cares' videographer Jonathan Frank weren't until middle of February 2011, and I'd know from this vantage point that Skip asking quietly for some help from the truth-challenged Jack Viertel would be a bad idea, and I would have gotten the police involved right away.

And he's a fool too. Devalues a work that people keep asking to do. He gave an interview a few months ago

https://www.commercialtheaterinstitute.com/broadway-profiles-a-serial-interview-with-jack-viertel-part-four/

From that interview:

What would you classify as the biggest mistake you’ve ever made?

Dramaturgically, the biggest mistake I ever made was trying to produce a show with a passive hero. The best example of this was in Time and Again, which is a novel that has many attractive things about it. It’s a wonderful book that is not meant to be a musical for the most basic reason, which is that it has a passive hero. We could never get it off the ground. Of course, there were other design-related issues, but the fundamental problem was that I couldn’t devise a way to get an audience interested in the protagonist. That was the most important dramaturgical mistake that I ever made.

So he was asked about mistakes he had made. And he said the biggest mistake he veer made was trying to write a show about a passive hero. But - What show was he working on - By 15 minutes into the show, the very show the jackass himself wrote, the character becomes (maybe too) active in the new old time. Whether that's a good idea as a take on the material, that being in the past makes him active, can be debated - but did he even sit through his own show?

The show with a passive hero was never the libretto he wrote. Yutz to the nth degree.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! Today I had my 6-month dental check-up with no surprises. After my fall and my less-than-perfect stress test, I was afraid of something awful like a root canal.

John G. · « **Reply #46 on:** August 20, 2019, 02:43:26 PM »

Good news, Ginny.

DR Ginny, good news.

I must be getting better at water zumba as my body feels better for having done it today.

Jane · « **Reply #49 on:** August 20, 2019, 03:16:30 PM »

I am pretty sure doing it in the water is easier and less stressful on the body than regular zumba, plus I don't feel that it matters if I am not overly graceful.

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #51 on:** August 20, 2019, 03:36:59 PM »

I'm glad to hear DR Elmore has his x-ray behind him. I know what a pain in the tush it is to do all this pre-procedure stuff.

Vibes for good results.

I spent the day going for my post-surgery visit with the surgeon. I was glad I could see him and not just the PA, because yesterday I started having some discomfort. But all is normal, he said.

Jeanne · « **Reply #56 on:** August 20, 2019, 03:42:15 PM »

He has the best bedside manner I've encountered in decades. It's such a help!

I had two Mad Hatter rides from Lyft, but arrived in one piece.

Jeanne · « **Reply #58 on:** August 20, 2019, 03:50:23 PM »

I had a looonnngg wait for my return trip and watched the passersby in Beverly Hills. LOTS of expensive cars. Cheaper cars are driven by Lyft and Uber drivers.

My sartorial favorite was the woman wearing what looked like a black slip with nothing under it and hightop white tennis shoes. I think Jrand will appreciate that one.

I'd asked the salad bar I frequent to stock vegan ice cream and gave them my favorite brand. They responded with a different brand, but it's still good. But Reishi Chocolate? Mushroom chocolate? Doesn't sound very appetizing, but I tried it today and it wasn't bad. No taste of mushroom that I could detect.
