Galley vibes for MR BK.

Glad to hear both DR ELMORE & MR BK got their technical glitzes worked out.

96 years was a good run for Harry Belafonte. I have a couple of his movies, the best of which was Kansas City. He used his voice to create a portrait of evil that was magnetic. You were both drawn to and repulsed by him. Really powerful Robert Altman film.

I started to write the same limerick that DR singdaw did, but I couldn't come up with a second line....then DR JOHN G did!

So here's the rest of it:

When he worked for Fox
He never wore Sox.
And you know he's a lousy ------!

Sorry if the use of "strangeness" seemed to implicate anyone here.

Hey!

Or, if you want to bake up some morning glory muffins, that would be great, too.

I haven't seen one of those since we lived in Ashland.

Martha Stewart is emailing me about how to maximize my front porch.

I hate to break it to that plucky gal, but I don't have one.

I keep wishing I could win the lottery.

Of course, I would have a better shot at it if I actually bought a lottery ticket.

Same here.

Jane · « **Reply #75 on:** April 25, 2023, 09:19:20 AM »

The last time we purchased lottery tickets we still lived in Ashland. Former DR Susan called informing us the Oregon lottery was super high and would we please buy x number of tickets.

Jane · « **Reply #76 on:** April 25, 2023, 09:19:28 AM »

The deal was we would buy the tickets and if we won we would split the winnings with her.

Please note that I never made any claims about UFOs or portals or aliens.

Just "strangeness".

Good -- Oy, what is it, afternoon?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #79 on:** April 25, 2023, 09:39:18 AM »

With but one day's notice I had to play a memorial service this morning. I'm back home, relaxing for an hour or so until I have to get ready to head back out to today's rehearsal.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #80 on:** April 25, 2023, 09:41:20 AM »

Speaking of which,

Last night's first dress rehearsal with orchestra was another smoother than expected one. We got through both acts, and there was actually very little stopping for anything.

I happen to know that a lot of these classes are getting better prepared than they used to be under certain former regimes. It's all for the better.

TOD

This is what I posted yesterday, but streamlined and better worded:

THIS WEEK: Tonight through Thursday I'm available starting at 9:30pm (eastern). Friday and Saturday are show nights, so those would be out. Sunday, I'm available all evening starting around 7:30.

NEXT WEEK: Monday evening is out. Tuesday-Thursday evenings are fine, any time. I'm afraid to say the entire next weekend is out.

I like when a regime change improves things DR CHAS SMITH.

On Elmore’s recommendation, I am reading The Great Sunflower. Beautiful noval. I got it through an intralibrary loan. I wanted to buy a used copy, but they want $50 for it on alibris.

Is that by Clifford Stone? You can get a paperback for as little as $37.37 on Amazon.

I haven't read that since Clifford signed a copy for me around 1980 or 81. Three years or so later, AIDS took him. I remember how beautiful the writing was and the peregrine falcon. I still refer to my peregrinations about the city.
