Hard to believe a new musical opened on Broadway last night. The theater world seems to have given Almost Famous a collective yawn.

But Joni Mitchell was at the opening.

It's Friday, and we're in store for a beautiful day and a beautiful weekend with the temperatures reaching 70. It might even feel like an actual Indian Summer, something we haven't enjoyed in recent years. I must get some outdoors laboring done, that much is certain.

It's raining right now here, and it's been raining all morning.  I hope it continues!  We really need it!

I did manage to watch the most recent "Downton Abbey" film on Amazon Prime yesterday.  it moved along nicely and had a funny sort of Lina Lamont-ish storyline for the Abbey sequences when they let a movie company use the house for a film (and the money was what made it worthwhile).

I cannot presume that all of you have seen the film, so I won't throw in any spoilers other than to say it had some sadness to it. 

The characters have aged believably while I remain the same as I was when I saw my first episode!!!!

Thanks for the report.  I was curious.

I liked BAT BOY the only time I saw it - with the exception of a couple of cast members - but the show survived!

I saw a local college production, and I didn't like it.

It wasn't a great production to begin with, so I don't know if it was just that production, or the actual show that I don't really care for. :-\

I played it in 2003, just subbing for someone for a couple of weekends. Here's the pathetic photographic evidence of that band for your viewing hilarity.



Nice picture, ChasSmith!  You look like you could be your own band...Chuck and the Young Ones! ;D

A question for anyone here who might know:

How does one preserve (as a PDF, I'd guess) a copy of the digital programs (Playbill, etc.) that are still on my phone as a result of the QR code at the theeder?

IF you even know what I'm talking about. You might not, if you haven't attended anything live in the past year or so.

I know on my desktop computer, I can Print to PDF instead of a physical printer.  Could that be an option on your phone?

I wish I could like Penguin these days. Since they paid Amy the Liar Coney Barrett, I don’t want to have anything to do with them.

My library hasn't purchased the book...yet. ::)

Because I was up so much, I was able to forward all of the orders for the three CDs, so those are all shipping out over the next few days. And all the extant Indiegogo perks are now with the helper and she'll get those shipped out.

Totally forgot I'm going to the theater tonight, with dinner beforehand. I was thinking about going back to bed, but I'm worried I'll sleep too late.

Isn't there a connection between Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) and the King Tut tomb?

Yes, there is most definitely a connection.

DR TCB:

It has happened only twice...the last two (count 'em 2) scheduled dental surgeries.

I am perplexed.

I am exasperated.

I am completely overwhelmed.

Darn it.

The DH has had this happen several times, but it was blood sugar, not blood pressure.

Thanks for the link, DR Ron Pulliam. I used to be an acquaintance of a (U.S.) descendent of one of the Carnarvons.
