There is supposed to be a BIG comet visible to the naked eye later this month......looking forward to it.
Great lyric of the morning, courtesy Ira. The girls are delightful,Their sweaters are quite full.
All is good with Babes in Toyland for now. I am having issues about no workspace here for all the editing, but my supervising editor says not to worry about it for now.
Just got word my sister in Germany, Brigitte, has been admitted to the hospital with a lung problem. She had tb twice in the past and this is related. Her husband is not allowed to see her.
I'm really glad I got talked into doing the song - the comments here and on Facebook are so beautiful - there've been twenty-two shares, something that's never happened before.
DR George, I have had "scheduled" take several days longer.
I finally remembered what I was going to comment on - a few days ago MR BK mentioned Quibi.....which seems like the most meta exercise yet.And does anyone really think that if they watch a movie (or bits of it) on his phone that he has really seen the movie?
Tonight is the MODERN FAMILY series finale.....two episodes preceded by an hour of history and other stuff.I may watch it.....it almost always amuses me.
My nephew messaged me last night. He's doing Mortuary Disaster Relief for 10 days. He's assigned to Queens but didn't have any info on his duties as he had just arrived in NYC. I am so proud of him for being willing to do that. No one talks about the morticians and what a difficult time this is for them. They have not only the number of people to take care of, but also families who they have to tell they can't have the funeral they wanted for their loved ones. And COVID-19 is still contagious in people who have passed. It's got to be extremely stressful
Now I wanna see LEVI, too!
Baby Russell, just because!
Brigitte has pneumonia, another sister has informed me.
Quote from: John G. on April 08, 2020, 07:51:21 PMCarol Christmas was wonderful. Tightly written, constantly moving. The songs had full impact. The libretto just enough to support everything. And a great star, I can't remember her name. Like any good male Scrooge, she made you dislike aspects of her without hating her for being so greedy and selfish. Hartley Powers is Carol - and she was just Maggie in The Man Who Came to Dinner and was superb. And she's the author's daughter He hadn't even thought about her playing Carol. That was me and I insisted from day one that she do it. Glad you liked!

Quote from: cillaliz on April 08, 2020, 08:23:25 PMJust finished watching Levi! I loved it! I don't mind a bio being episodic, as JohnG said a denim dance would have been fun. I could see that they were testing them with the tug of war, but it was really in the background. A manly denim dance would have been great. SPOILER ALERT.... I did feel a bit let down that the romances sort of just fizzled. I know not everything needs to be tied up with a bow, and if it's a bio, reality tends to get in the way a bit, but no one really ended up together...and \having Sara be the friend at the end didn't make sense to me. Couldn't the Chinese couple at least have gotten together? These weren't major things to me, but I did think about them. I did love the show and if it was somewhere near me would definitely go see it. In fact, both romances were entirely made up by Larry. I understand why Levi couldn't end up with Sarah because Levi in real life never married, so there was no way to change that, and yes, it's not satisfying and we didn't really solve that and it does need to be addressed in some way. And I'm not sure the Chinese couple would get together because Su Lin simply doesn't feel love for Han Chow. It's a conundrum for the last ten minutes of the show, surely.

I remember the second dream quite well. DR TCB and I were acting in a Royal Shakespeare Company production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, along with my friends Sara Jean Ford and Peter Oberlink. The dream was all about the rehearsals and relationships of various actors. Sara baked some wonderful cookies at one point, and Peter didn't want anyone to know they were romantically attached.In real life, they were never involved. Peter was one of my best friends in college and a folk singer, for whom I wrote "The Gonorrhea Rag" in 1971. The late puppeteer Wayland Flowers loved the song and urged me to come to New York and write for him. Sara Jean and I became friends in 2011 when she recorded some Victor Herbert songs for the Collected Dongs of Victor Herbert.
