Facebook has an new thing called People You May Know and because of it, I've gotten about forty friend requests in two days.

This is not new at all.  I learned to be careful because at first I thought they were friend requests & asked someone to be friends, which was fine as she was a classmate.

We now have a Shake shack in my neighborhood, and they have the best burgers. So, I had a Shackburger, fries, and a strawberry shake for tonight's dinner.  As Thatch would say, It's yummy!

YES! THE BEST! WANT!

Where is your local one?

On Broadway around 90th Street.

Thirty-five years ago tomorrow, my reconstruction of the 1935 Cole Porter-Moss Hart musical "Jubilee" received its first performances at Town Hall, directed by Jimmy Brennan and musical direction by Greg Dlugos.  The cast included Roderick Cook, Paula Lawrence, Robert Fitch, Alyson Reed, Carole Shelley, Davis Gaines, Reed Jomnes, Patrick Quinn, and a very young, very beautiful Rebecca Luker in her second New York performance.

Thirteen years later BBC Radio-3 broadcast a performance directed by Ian Marshall Fisher with musical direction by Kevin Amos.  The cast included  Denis Quilley, Vivienne Martin, Gavin Lee, Sarah Payne, Sally Ann Triplett, David Malek, Elizabeth Counsell, and David Firth.  I will post a few numbers from each of those performances.

Bruce did Brothers Grimm ever play at the Cinerama Dome?  Keith remembers seeing it there, not at the Warner. 

I feel as if I saw this but really don't remember.

[Jane]

We both saw, not together, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World at the Cinerama Dome.

Thanks for those sound clips, DR elmore3003.  What a project!

[singdaw]

I would probably leave the sauce jar out on the counter for a few hours to get it started defrosting, then into the fridge.

[singdaw]

Nice present!

[singdaw]

I am wiped from getting up so early to take delivery of groceries.

[singdaw]

Shake Shack dinner sounds great, too!

[singdaw]

That's me!

Judi Dench as Desiree, and Laurence Giuttard graduated to the role of Frederick.

Wonder what he thought of going from "the vegetable" that shouldn't be specified to "easily deflated." Her tear at the end is particularly wonderful.

I love Me and Marie. What a joy.

The delivery has been made - friend Sandy Bainum sent me a big box from Jack Stack Barbecue in Kansas City.  Included is chopped barbecue beef, burnt ends, beans, carrot cake, and a bottle of sauce. All flash frozen and all currently in the freezer. Defrosting instructions are forty-eight to seventy-two hours in the refrigerator so if I put it all in there now I can eat this stuff on Saturday or Sunday. We shall see about that. It all looks very good. The bottle of sauce has no instructions other than refrigerate after opening - but it's frozen so? I put it in the fridge to defrost - or should I leave it out?

I would thaw it in the fridge. If you don't know the ingredients and don't have instructions, it's just safer thawing it slowly where it has no chance of thawing.

[John G.]

Off for a walk. It's supposedly in the 70s out there. The sun is still bright.

Nice jacket DR ELMORE.

[Jrand73]

Nice gift MR BK.

[Jrand73]

Well I am getting used to the bridge....it took an hour after I got home to really get it in the proper place in my mouth...but now it seems to being doing well.

I probably won't have my upper work done until the fall - hoping my investments do as well this year as they did last year.....

So..i have a mouth full of plastic....and that's okay.

[John G.]

I'm back to Phffft! I couldn't take more than a half hour last night. I may skip to the end.

[singdaw]

Glad it seems to be working out, DR Jrand70.

[singdaw]

This matches my experience.

[John G.]

The weather outside is wonderful. I managed about an hour walk.

[singdaw]

Wonderful, DR John G.

One of my favorites.

I feel as if I saw this but really don't remember.

You may tell him the answer is no, he never saw it at the Dome and the reason is very simple: The Dome wasn't built when Brothers Grimm played In fact, it wasn't built when How the West Was Won first opened either. It began construction in summer of 1963 and opened with Mad  World in November of that year.

Picked up one little package, attended the online virtual book fair - the prices are outrageous this year - it's like book dealers are tone deaf and most booths I saw hadn't sold a single book - then again, many had, at those outrageous prices. Interestingly, every dealer who had Frederic Brown books sold them all and at higher prices than usual - that's good since I have six of the early ones.

DR George - I am not giving medical advice.
But what my doctor told me was, real lemons. Not the kind that comes in the plastic lemon bottle. And, of course, no sugar added.

DR Jane, I am drinking the juice of 2 to 3 regular-sized lemons per day. 4 ounces of juice, diluted into water throughout the day.

Ahh...I was just curious, but if the doctor specified real lemons, I, like you, would definitely go with the real lemons.

Veggiemals!

I would see recipes and ideas like this in articles with titles like “veggies kids want to Eat” 
These articles never made sense to me...play with them yes....eat them? Never

Sometimes when I am looking at things on Newspapers.com, I look at different pages to see what is what.

Yesterday there was a small story in the 1948 Chico newspaper.  A young man about 25 years of age hired a pilot to take him up in a small plane.  When they were in the air, the young man took off his seat belt and tried to open the door of the airplane.

The pilot struggled with him and turned the plane back toward the airport - the young man succeeded in opening the door and jumping out of the plane.

They found his body in a field.  No identification was found on him and all of the labels were removed from his clothing.....

As far as I know, he was never identified.....

What a sad story
