So, anyway, I just couldn’t cope with going out in the rain to eat alone.

[TCB]

So, since I had signed up for a free month of Uber something or other.

[TCB]

So , I skipped the Panda Express for now.

[TCB]

You know, that since Panda Express opened on South Hill, no one has seen a single panda roaming around.

[TCB]

And you thought them pussy cats were quick.

[George]

George, I am glad you enjoyed your visit to the Red Wind.

Thanks, Tom.  With all that I spent, I don't plan on playing on any kind of regular basis.

[George]

And you thought them pussy cats were quick.

[George]

So, anyway, I just couldn’t cope with going out in the rain to eat alone.

I'll admit that that's never stopped me.

[George]

Tom, you've reached a millstone/milestone!  Congrats!

[TCB]

Anyway, I found a spot that serves Breaded Almond Chicken with gravy.

[TCB]

It asked if I wanted white rice or fried rice.

[TCB]

I said I wanted either.

[TCB]

Because, next I went an ordered the House fried rice.

[TCB]

Then I went and loaded the order and the total came back $40.00!

[bk]

Notes are written.

[bk]

Written are notes.

[TCB]

So, I went back and removed the House fried rice, and then went back to the almond chicken and changed my order from “Neither” to “A side of fried rice, please.”

[TCB]

And then I placed my order.

[George]

Then I went and loaded the order and the total came back $40.00!

WTH??

[TCB]

So, DR ChasSmith, how about that Fantasticks last night? (I hear you ask)

Worst ever. At least, of those I've seen live. A total fail. A few of the actors had potential to be pretty good in their roles. But there was no direction. And the music direction (notably, the piano playing by the music director) was completely inept. Shockingly so. It might even take the prize for being the worst realization of the score ever.

But as I said I would, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Sadly, this was foreshadowed at the diner beforehand. The cheeseburger deluxe was way overcooked, and they don't know from cole slaw -- I could only get through two bites of the glop, and it was a huge serving. However, the bacon on the burger, the fries, and the coffee were all great.

So, a mixed evening. But it was still great to be out and about.

No harp. As expected. Thankfully, no bass or drums either. (I do not like the "orchestrated" versions.)

But seriously, no harpist could have played with that person.

But ChasSmith, did they add mothers??  I've seen two different productions by the same director/music director where he added mothers and split the fathers' lines between them.

ADD mothers, so that there were four parents? Or change the fathers to mothers?

This was just the standard book, with only Tom Jones' latest script tweaks. If you saw it done that way in the past, it might not have been sanctioned. But Tom only recently completed his gender switch version, and as far as I know, its premiere performance just happened within the past month or two.

What have they done with, “It Depends on What You Pay” and “The Rape Ballet?”

[TCB]

Or maybe Frisky Butt is a good stage name.

It would depend upon your act.

[TCB]

I take lousy photos with my phone, but here's my attempt to get a photo of my framed Victor Herbert letter from Rob Berman's mother.

Rob Berman’s mother wrote a letter to Victor Herbert?

[TCB]

I don't particularly like going on and off Daylight Savings Time, but there's nothing to be done about it, I suppose.

Well, Washington state, and I think 18 other states, have passed laws allowing us to stay on Daylight Savings Time all year.  We are just waiting the approval by Congress.

[TCB]

Therefore, I don’t expect it to happen in my lifetime.

[TCB]

You could use other beans or pasta, though the pasta ain't exactly diet friendly. Or diabetic friendly.

Or would I cook the pasta for four hours.

[TCB]

Beautiful letter, DR Elmore. What a great gift!

It is indeed, DR elmore.

[TCB]

He had a tenor who sang Nessun Dorma. And another singer who did a really good Embraceable You.

At the same time?
