And I have to turn off The Firebrand of Florence and leave work. So laters from me, too.

Looks like the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES clip show was a big hit in the ratings as well last night. It was the highest rated show of the evening.

Yeah, the "do" is okay....but I wonder if he's considered porcelain veneers.....

DRMattH: How are the "La Cage" rehearsals going?

Re: Your digital signal being out -- will it not be restored by this evening? Do you get to "pro-rate" the fees they charge you for the "outage" period?

Great photos DRWFO! Hi, Joe!

Another great photo from DRLAURA.

DRSWW - is that Peggy in that photo with you in your new avatar?

DR LAURA - I saw "And They Dance Real Slow in Jackson" many years ago, and met the author Jim Leonard Jr, a fellow Hoosier. He also wrote "The Diviners", another nice play.

"Jackson" is pretty much summed up in the reviews at the link, it is a touching play, and if you have a good cast and director it will be a nice evening - I enjoyed it, although it was a BIT heavy. There is a nice bit of humor in some of the characters that helps the evening along A LOT!

DR RLP - those ARE porcelain veneers!

I got home at noon, only to find Adelphia completely out. I just got back online - I tell you, they're hopeless these people.

What a strange doctor visit I had. I'm what is known as a "gagger" (I wouldn't have it any other way) - what this means is that when the doctor tries to shove a mirror down your throat to get a close look at you larynx or whatever he's trying to get a close look, you sort of gag, a natural human reaction if you ask me. But, because he couldn't get the look he needed he decided to go in with a little video device. Well, little did I know what that meant. First he sprayed some absolutely hideous burning awful stuff into my throat. After two minutes it felt like there was a golf ball in there - perfectly normal, said the doctor. He then stuck some cotton WAY up my nose - this cotton apparently had some sort of anesthetic on it. I was then taken to another room where a long snakey thing was inserted WAY up my nose and all the way down to my larynx. Well, he got a good look that way. The good news was that other than it being slightly swollen, there was nothing else wrong. So, he gave me some sort of shot and said I'll be perfectly perfect way in advance of the session. He suggested I come back Thursday for one more shot. It took forty minutes for the golf ball effect to go away, but the burning sensation and taste is still there. I never in all of this had a sore throat, but this burning stuff sure is making me feel like I do. So, I'll take it easy today and tonight, and start doing some minor vocalizing tomorrow. I feel pretty good except for the burning sensation.

He did warn me that this is going to be the worst allergy season in years, because of the rain.

Yes, this is Peggy. She jumped the fence, after seeing der B and me in the front yard and wanting to join us, and der B insisted on taking the pic when I carried her back.

I'm the greyer one, and she's got prettier ears.

I am back after an insanely busy weekend. I only skimmed the notes for the last two days and probably missed tons, but here are some responses to various things I saw:

Pavane. Mr. Faure wrote a plain ol' Pavane (try to listen to Hubert Laws' jazz rendition--stunning. Mr. Ravel wrote the one for the deceased royalty type person.

Passover. Passover seders extend over 2 nights. Orthodox folk will celebrate for both nights. Those of us from more, ahem, assimilated backgrounds usually just do the first night. The reason it has two nights is that the calendar keepers in ancient Israel would need to calculate when it was, then they would send runners out to the Diaspora, and it would take them so long that the furthest away would have to celebrate on the second night.

That Sunday That Summer. I probably posted about this years ago, but I used to Music Direct for a wonderful singer who went on to become Debbie Reynolds' opening act in Vegas for a long time. Anyway she wanted to to "That Sunday That Summer" and learned it off the NKC rendition. When we ran it for the first time, on the first line she suddenly sang, "It puts you leaving that Sunday." At which point I stopped abruptly and asked "What did you just say?" And she indignantly replied "It puts you leaving that Sunday," as if it made perfect sense (not to mention that the appogiaturic stress was off on leaving--making it leavING). So anyway she started arguing but her sister who was there concurred that "It puts you leaving" made no sense whatsover and so we went and listened again and corrected the lyric. Later I presented her with a songlist where I had interpolated "It puts you leaving" into all the song titles. She pretended to be amused.

Happy Birthday, Joey.

Is this your 20th or 21st?

It's my 20th. No longer a teenager yet not old enough to drink. It's sort of a limbo year...

At the end of George Pal's The Time Machine, Alan Young notices that a number of books are missing from Rod Taylor's library (all from the same shelf, if I recall correctly.) He asks the housekeeper what five(?) books she thinks Taylor took with him back to the future. Young delivers the line in such a way as that the answer should be fairly evident, but for the life of me I can't think of anything more obvious than The Bible. What could the other four books have been?

Shakespeare, Fox's Book of Martyrs, Chaucer, Fanny Hill.

And how is Guy Haines doing?? Has he recorded everything that he needs to for the new CD??

And BK, your "gagger" story reminds me of a dentist story. Last year, I went to the dentist and they were able to tell that I breathed through my mouth when I was asleep. The dental hygienist said, "Yup, he's a mouth breather," like it was a derogatory remark!

Okay, I'll admit that I don't know the song...or who NKC is. So JMK, who is NKC and what's the correct line?? Inquiring minds want to know!

Good Afternoon!

Back from my walk. And a glorious walk it was. Just what I needed after going through my clothes and clothes and clothes. And just plain nice to get out of the apartment for a bit. Great weather too! Blue skies, and upper 60s!

And, now the evening...

Hmm...

After the exam, the doctor showed me the video. I'd never seen my own laynx before - it was quite disgusting-looking. He even gave me three photos, but be thankful I shan't be sharing such delicate items.

Since Taylor is basically playing Herbert George Wells, maybe they're The Invisible Man, War of the Worlds, etc.

LOL! I can picture Taylor's Wells setting up a book fair table for the puzzled Eloi, trying to make a sale.

Yes, and somehow Marianne had morphed "It would surely be that Sunday" to "It puts you leaving that Sunday." It still cracks me up--I can hear her singing it, then, even funnier, growing more and more indignant as her sister and I insisted it didn't make any sense.
