Good night, friends.

[Jane]

Good night DR Singdaw.

[bk]

Back from a fun dinner with an old friend from the Bluth Brothers days - dear reader Jeanne knows her, too. Lots of reminiscing.  My chopped salad - turkey, salami, and tomatoes - no garbanzo beans, and a Dijon vinaigrette, was actually great, so I think that will become a regular happening now. Not too much food and it felt light.

DR George, it's my understanding that after the London production, that version of Follies was pulled and not available for performances.

In 1983 or so, I was talking to Steve and he said he was busy with new songs for the London version of Follies. After a pause, I said something like, Why? I think that score's mighty good as it is. Steve's answer was, Me, too.  Then he explained that it was Goldman's idea to rethink it, and he felt obligated to go along with it.

Interesting.  Thanks for the info, Larry.

Because I was curious, here is a listing of past winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama:
https://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-category/218

Years ago, just a year or two after Rent opened on Broadway, I was involved a local musical revue of the musicals that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.  This was my idea and the director and music director really liked it, so we did it.  We did three songs from each of the shows, and I got to sing the Sunday in the Park with George songs.  We also included songs from Oklahoma! because in 1944 Rodgers and Hammerstein won a special Pulitzer Prize special citation for the show.

Today marks the birthdays of both Barbra Streisand (79) and Shirley MacLaine (87). Two legends!

Happy Birthday to Barbra and Shirley!

[George]

I’m afraid I did more damage than I thought with that toothbrush

Oh, no!

~~~Continued Teeth Vibes for Vixmom!!~~~

[George]

I thought Make the Most of Your Music and Ah, but Underneath were written because Daniel Massey and Diana Rigg couldn’t handle the original songs vocally.

That might make sense for Diana Rigg, but I think "Make the Most of Your Music" is a pretty darned difficult song...especially that held last note, and Daniel Massey nailed it!

[George]

The Academy Awards are tomorrow, I think.  I haven't seen nary a one.

I certainly haven't, either.  I'll probably watch the awards show, though.  My niece wants me to record them, just in case she can't watch them online while they're happening.

That's a bunny?

I thought it was a dog!

What a coinkydink!  So did I!

[George]

Jane, it's Vixmom with the dental pain. I'm the one without any pneumonia shot side effects.

Wow, my brain said Vixmom.  I just looked at what I posted as I was sure I typed Vixmom.  I think I am losing it  

Since Jose isn't her anymore I will blame it on the constant pressure behind my ears & on my nose from these new glasses

Jane, you can still blame Jose...BECAUSE he isn't here!

It's been a pleasant Saturday. I did two (count 'em) short but worthy stints of work outdoors, just enough to squelch the guilt for not doing more.

Then I ate a free Popeye's chicken meal. And why was it free, I hear you asking? It was free because when Nathan was out he went through the drive-thru just to grab a fish sandwich for himself, and the girl handed him a bag with a large box of chicken in it. He pointed out the mistake and she got him the sandwich, and when he started to hand the box of chicken to her, she said "no, I can't take anything back, it's yours, enjoy". So we all enjoyed. Big box, too, at least a dozen pieces.

Don't you love it when someone makes that kind of a mistake?

[George]

Moving right along...

A The Muppet Movie reference!

Lunch at my mom's today was pretty darned tasty.

[George]

We had tacos and there were a lot of leftovers, so they will be saved for my birthday a week from Wednesday.  Good enough for me!

[John G.]

John, Ginny, any DR, do you have opinions to share regarding The Vanishing Half?  I will be discussing it on Monday with my book group.

I listened to it. Really enjoyed a lot of it, but found the ending somewhat unsatisfying. I found the story engrossing as it went from one generation to the next. I applaud the natural way the transgender love story was handled. I found the different lives interesting. But I grew less and less patient with the sister who passed for white. 

[John G.]

Yes, I hated to throw away the pate a choux.

I would, too. I'd want to knock the stuffing right out of whoever tried to get in.

[John G.]

Went to the first party with friends I've attended in more than a year. A friend who used to work for USAA was having a crawfish boil. And man, did they throw a party. He boiled the crawfish, she kept things going with the guests. I was there for more than 6 hours. And I had a great time. I got to see people I haven't seen, except on Zoom meetings, for 13 months or so.

And the crawfish were delicious.

[Jane]

'night

[John G.]

While I was there, though, I did get a message from Carol that she had to head back to the hospital. She had a fever and her incision was bleeding. I haven't heard any updates.

[John G.]

And that's all I have to report.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

[TCB]

I really like CHANGE OF HABIT.

[TCB]

I won’t say I love it.  The only Elvis movies I love are BLUE HAWAII and FOLLOW THAT DREAM.

[TCB]

CLAMBAKE did’t even make the survey.  Along with most Elvis movies.

[TCB]

Dental pain vibes to DR Jane.  Is that right?

[TCB]

Pain vibes for DR vixmom.
