DR George, I would think that your mom could use Zillow or something similar to do her real estate research.

Lookey Loo! Page TWO!!

tummy vibes for MR BK.

[Jrand74]

Feel better vibes for DR ELMORE.

We are having our read thru tonight....well Act One.....we shall do Act Two & Act Three tomorrow.

Just doing things a bit differently this time around to see what happens.

Our David has just taken over the role of The Captain in ANYTHING GOES - so he will be in and out for a couple of weeks.....why can't we all just get along?  The original Captain - one of the worst actors in The Play That Goes Wrong - had a disagreement with the actor playing Billy - who has a rather inflated vision of his own talents.  I'm not surprised there was friction.

I don't mind drama as long as it not in my show.

Avoid "12 Angy Men", then.

Hap-Hap-Happy Wednesday!!

It is currently 83 degrees of temperature in Johnston SC.

AQI is 55.  Haven't had rain in a few days, so there are atmospheric particles from some place or other.

Wednesdays and Saturdays, our post office is open only until Noon.  I find it difficult to get myself out of my house and to the post office before it closes on those days.

The rest of the week, I am usually there by 10:30 a.m. which is the "all mail posted by" time each day.

Of course, it is closed on Sundays and on federal holidays.

[Ron Pulliam]

I slept very well, and I dreamed.

Oddly, because it is so rare, I dreamed I was back in the Navy (I retired 30 years ago!!)

The details remain clear to me, but I won't go into them other than to say that an unqualified officer had been temporarily assigned to public affairs (which is the field in which I worked) and (1) didn't want any staff in the office when he was there, and (2) wanted me to handle all public affairs projects because he knew nothing about them. 

There were attempts to bring him up to speed, to coax him into representing our department with the senior officers on the ship, and -- failing in all of that -- to bring my department head in to help me coordinate working with upper brass to get projects underway.

I have absolutely no idea where any of this came from. I never experienced this in real life.  And I haven't been reading or watching anything remotely suggesting a similar dilemma.

Sigh.

[Ron Pulliam]

Oh, look!

It's ten minutes past 10. 

I wonder if I can motivate myself to go to the post office in the next 90 minutes or so.

Good morning!

DR Rodzinski, it is my understanding that Fritz Loewe's portion of the royalties from Camelot are designated for the benefit of The University of Redlands near San Diego.

There is also a Frederick Loewe Foundation in NYC. They paid for the recording of the wonderful Encores! profuction of Paint Your Wagon.

I must reboot my cable box. Last night I watched about 3/4 of Tick Tick . . . Boom on Netflix, which kept freezing. It finally died with a "Try again later: popup. I liked the movie very much, bit I'm also a big fan of Rent, which I saw several times in the theatre. Nver saw the film version.

[elmore3003]

I just had my first contretemps with my ballet colleagues. I yielded to the majority, but made my reasons for my disagreement as clear as I could.

[Ron Pulliam]

FWIW, it seems a UPS strike has been averted.

[Ron Pulliam]

Also FWIW, I am headed toward the ufficio postale!

[singdaw]

Sorry, DR elmore3003. In addition to re-booting your cable box, disconnect your tv from its power source and then re-connect. Don't know why, but that has usually solved the problem for me.

Ladies and gendarmes, heads up! A nice United States Postal Service employee just drove up to the house and handed me a nice package from our very own DR Ginny.

The programs are wonderful, thank you! And they're in such beautiful condition! You are obviously a great keeper of things , and it's wonderful to have these. Thank you again!!!

Interesting. Of course he would get royalties from the music. What I’m curious about is the trivia found variously over the web that says Harris bought the rights to the stage version for 1 million and became a very rich man. I wonder what became of what he owned.

[Ron Pulliam]

I am home again, home again, jiggety-jig!

Once I set out, I realized I had a large quantity of cardboard and styrofoam in the back and I opted to drive to the recycling center first.

Post office surprised me with quite a bit of mail.  Bottom line:  I order too much stuff.

I am now air frying a chicken fried chicken steak for a sandwich for my lunch.

Jessica Fletcher is in London and involved in some MI6 undercover investigation of the murder of a double agent, or some such stuff.

It's background noise, and that is its purpose.

This is all I know about it. I'm having lunch soon with Jody Edwards, Director of Music and Materials, at MTI. I will learn what I can.

George, thank you for the stuff on John K. Of Ren and Stimpy fame/infamy. I will need to learn more. I knew he had his problems and that they were legion.

[John G.]

I’m tired.

Ask BK:

Memory check from the late 70s or early 80s:  Were there ever two (count 'em) camera or photographic supply shops on the south side of Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, on two corners across the street from one another?

I may be remembering wrong, but I've carried an image of that with me for years, partly in recognition of how rich we were in such places back then.

When I was over there, she had asked me to look up the "Zestimate," but we got distracted and I didn't.

Anytime. I do need to watch the documentary again.
