Thatch seems to like sleeping next to me, since he's done it for five years now. Last night we had a first: I woke around 2:30 to find him buried under the blankets and sleeping next to my body. Annabelle's done that for years, as soon as she's cold, but last night was a new thing for Thatch.

The bed's made, and I have an hour until my Zoom meeting. I'll work on the Bows for Dear World until then.

I am enjoying reading about SAMI in the notes!

I had an actor in JOSEPH last summer who never turned to the back of the book and looked at the music.....he read his lyrics from the libretto.....and some of them were different.

I could never get him to understand he needed to look at the MUSIC pages.....

I hope he enjoyed his time in my musical. Of course other directors will use him again.....but that's their funeral, as they say.

TOD:

Titanic (1953) - probably about 13 or 14 times since it's been on TV beginning in 1962.

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman - probably a dozen times.

Good morning, all.

Great picture, vixmom!

Hard to imagine doing that kind of thing in Florida, but I guess it works in January...

Now that I think about it, the last time I was at Disney World down there was in January 2015, and we froze our ASSES off.

I remember one night in particular, for late hours in the Magic Kingdom, when I would literally have been perfectly comfortable if I'd been wearing my outdoor winter gear from up here.

That was the winter of continuous sub-zero temperatures and one huge snowstorm after another. We watched Boston getting buried on the TV, and our flight back to White Plains made it just fine, perfectly timed between storms. Somehow everyone knew the rest of the winter was going to be like that ... and it was.

This apparently is not "news", but it was a big shock to me this morning. Someone posted on Facebook that the Wellington Hotel in NYC is closed, like, permanently, which apparently happened last year.

Just as shocking and sad, its "Park Café" coffee shop is likewise gone. That had been one of my favorite coffee shops in the city for many years, going all the way back to when I'd be staying at the Wellington on college trips to NYC. The food there was always delicious, no matter what I had at any given time, and it was such a perfect place, convenient to so many things in midtown. I remember the last two times I ate there both being for Encores! One of those times was with Kristi and Nathan, before seeing (I think) 1776. The last time was with them and DRs Elmore and vixmom, after ... oh, what the hell was it? I'll have to look through programs or photos taken. Grand Hotel, maybe?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** January 30, 2023, 08:11:25 AM »

The Wellington was introduced to me as "the musician's hotel" back in the late 1960s and early 1970s while in school in Cleveland and going to NYC to see the occasional opera or concert. My memories of the lobby and the rooms back then are pretty vague, except for one of the rooms being so tiny it was practically a challenge to turn around in it. But it was ideally located, reasonable in price (apparently even for students then), and you always saw someone you knew in the music world. It was our "Grand Hotel" with the people coming and people going.

So I'm sad, not just for this one spot and my own memories of it, but for how places like NYC continue to become less and less hospitable and affordable. And I'm crushed about that damned coffee shop. It just happens that almost every place I liked to eat in my first visits to NYC, up to when I'd moved here and went into town often through the 1990s and later, is gone. The coffee shops, delis, and certain restaurants -- gone. It's just like in LA and everywhere else, and that doesn't cheer me at all.

Is winter over yet? Happy to have driveway snow removal. But I am so sick of all of this snow.

I guess I got the names confused. But I was looking at Vixhubby and thinking that he looked a bit young (thought that it was a pic of Vixdad).

The one time we went to Disney World we began our trip during a heat wave. On the third day of the trip, the day we actually went to DW, it was 25 degrees.
