And the word of the day is: BENEFIC!

Topic of the Day: I'm pretty sure that I've never been to any movie theater that could be called a "movie palace," unless you count Seattle's Cinerama. I'd only been there two, maybe three times, but not any other palace-type theater.

Tom, this doesn't have David Muir (and there's no sound), but is this the video that you were talking about last night?? $:-\$

Forgot to mention that I talked to the Shermans and it was nice to catch up. They'll be watching our premiere for project one aka Tonight's the Night. I may drop by next week just to leave them a few things.

Last night was jam-packed with strange dreams:
1. It took place sometime between 1940 and 1950; I was working in some desert with a group fighting anti-semitism; Leonard Bernstein is the only person I recognized. At one point we were trying to identify several men from a photo of them inside a cavern.
2. I was involved in London with the Royal Ballet and dancers defecting from communist Russia; there was a search for either a Russian author or her book about ballet.

It's going to be 30 degrees F in Manhattan today and worse tomorrow. I have no urge to step out for this PSA test. At the moment I have no wish to step out, but I will see how I feel in a couple of hours.

Got caught up this morning in watching the Baby reunion (thanks for the link, DR George!)

I saw the original Broadway production several times, including the closing performance. Love that score.

The only "movie palace" I've ever been to is NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Great memories.

DR elmore3003 - regarding your Strange Dream #2: I remember seeing a performance of dancers and singers from Russia at Carnegie Hall. This would have been in the mid to late 70s. On the floor level, at the foot of the stage, were two burly guards sitting, facing the audience, for the entire performance. I presume they were there to keep any performers from leaving the stage and trying to defect. I'll never forget it.

That was quite a piece of sleuthing in today's notes, bk. Glad you found your answer.

Horseracing! I like much of the score, but when I saw the original production, all I could think was, this show needs one good abortion.

I never have my cell phone handy when I need it. Last night, while I was brushing Thatch, Annabelle - who had already been brushed - sat watching Thatch with an expression I can only describe as pure love. I had never seen it before, but it was so adorable and heartbreaking.

There used to be a huge movie palace on Broadway between 50th and 49th Streets, as I recall. I saw a 1979 or 1980 release of Disney's Peter Pan there, and that might have been the last movie showed there before it was torn down. The only other palaces have been to were Radio City Music Hall - but I have never seen a movie there, only the Christmas show - and the Ziegfeld, which was on West 55th Street, where I saw three movies: Frank Langella's Dracula, Apocalypse Now, and one of the Star Wars movies, the dreadful first one after the original three.

True, the book wasn't the best.

It had a mind of its own.

My friend Kim Criswell had a song that was cut and ended up in Closer Than Ever, but I think she had left before I saw it. I think she might have gone on to the national tour of Cats.
