That is the Beverlywood Bakery. Keith's mother lived in the apartment building on Doheny behind the bakery. For a number of years it kind of went downhill, sold and became good again. I have fond memories of going there with my father, as well as to Factor's, to shop for our big Sunday brunches.

Yes, it's still the Beverlywood Bakery. I don't think of that area as Beverlywood, though. I think of Bruce's old neighborhood as Beverlywood.

True but it really isn't that far away

I was impressed with Singdaw's success with the vocal exercises. Good news!

Weekend vibes to all.

TTFN.

I am pleased to know the rugelach at the bakery is still good.

At least Covid is almost over. The last two years have been a particularly bad time to be sick.

Just talked to friends in LA and his sister's family all have covid. The baby picked it up at daycare.

Could use some of those vibes for a coworker dealing with a cancer diagnosis. And dealing with kidney stones, sciatica and more.

Oh, no!

My tax consultation with the new preparer went smoothly. He's in that very Jewish neighborhood on Pico near Doheny. NOT the high-rent neighborhood, like some accountants I've been to. I don't know if that area has a special name, but it's certainly a distinct community. He charged me $10 less than my previous guy and he's not swamped, despite having excellent reviews.

Nice!

It isn't all that surprising. The baby was pretty sick while the others having been vaccinated have been pretty much ok.

My hairdresser has returned from maternity leave. Today I returned to her. She does such a great cut my hair still looked good after five months.

My hair is now 2 inches shorter

Just checked, Jane. It's a pack of 5 tests; a completely different brand from the last time. The expiration date is listed as Dec 2022.

We've had some problems with the deliveries in MN because apparently if they're left in the cold for very long, it makes them less effective to non-functional. And you don't know how long they've been on a postal truck.

Well, this is am interesting take on the Daylight Saving issue:

We're at places...but holding.

Act one is going pretty well.

George · « **Reply #138 on:** March 11, 2022, 08:21:30 PM »

We held the house for about five minutes, and got started without any problems.

The audience is a little quieter than audiences last week, but they seem to be enjoying it.

It is my bed time. I make no mistake in stating this.

We're now into act two!

Hairspray was fun, and it was a little different. Edna wasn't the only drag queen in the show. One of the Dynamite singers was also male. And I think there were a couple of girls as guys. That gave the production a lively feel.

John G. · « **Reply #144 on:** March 11, 2022, 09:31:31 PM »

There was a cast of more than 40 in the show, which was also really good. The director had a talk-back afterward. Said they worked seven weeks of evenings on staging it, with choreography work throughout.

John G. · « **Reply #145 on:** March 11, 2022, 09:34:10 PM »

The most interesting performance to me was the presentation of Velma Von Tussle. The actress in all her bigotry seemed to be channeling Marjorie Taylor Greene, which made her stupidity all the funnier.

In the talk-back, the woman who played her said, in her day job, she's a neurosurgeon who operates on people with Parkinson's. Guess being Miss Baltimore Crabs is a bit of stress relief.

John G. · « **Reply #146 on:** March 11, 2022, 09:36:24 PM »

There were about 100 people in a theater that seats about 150. Many of the patrons were in the theater group's youth program, and a generous patron had bought all of their tickets. So, I'm wondering about the appeal of Hairspray these days.

The show is also going to be part of the Broadway series that comes to town, along with Hadestown and Tootsie, which the ushers I know didn't care for.

John G. · « **Reply #147 on:** March 11, 2022, 09:36:44 PM »

Anyway, that's about all I know this evening.

John G. · « **Reply #148 on:** March 11, 2022, 09:36:53 PM »

But before I go ...
