One of my best friends, if not the best, is in a production of All's Well That Ends Well in Los Angeles, produced by the Portals of Hellsgate. The play is set in WW 1, and he's playing the ailing King of France, whom the heroine Helena cures. He wanted a wheelchair, but he found an old walker and painted it black, so he may look something like me hobbling about. A reviewer called him "majestic."

I bought gasoline today  for $3.059.

And I bought a $5 scratch off ticket and won $15 - the amount of gasoline I purchased.

I had not heard until today that a Polar Express prequel with Tom Hanks is coming this December.

Interesting cast of Mardi Gras:
Dana Gillespie, the original Mary Magdalene of JCS
Nicky Henson, the anti-hero of Psychomania
Aubrey Woods, the Candy Man from Willy Wonka
Lon Satton from Starlite Express
Miquel Brown who later had the big dance hit, “So Many Men, So Little Time”
Gaye Brown who had a small part in the Sweeney Todd film


Rodzinski, I have that album of Mardi Gras.  The book was written by Melvyn Bragg, who also wrote the original novel and the book to the musical The Hired Man, about his grandfather.  He also co-wrote the screenplay to Jesus Christ Superstar. :)

When I was shopping with my sister on Monday, she was talking about making some kind of paw print cookies for a fund raiser, but she was going to use Oreos and M&Ms...somehow.

The play is set in WW 1, and he's playing the ailing King of France, whom the heroine Helena cures. He wanted a wheelchair, but he found an old walker and painted it black, so he may look something like me hobbling about. A reviewer called him "majestic."

Your friend’s name?

Time Winters. We've been friends since Autumn 1979. I met him in Drama Book Shop. He was playing Arlecchino in Goldoni's Servantt of Two Masters and I helped him
 with commedia del'arte materials. I went to see the show, and then we started hanging out. He's a wonderful actor and a very dear friend. I've supported him through several girlfriends, and he's seen the absolute worst of me and still supports me. He moved to Los Angeles around 1986, He had played Sherlock Holmes in an off-off-Broadway showcase, got a great review in the NY Times, and the next day every agent in town who wouldn't see him in the past wanted to sign him.

Yesterday afternoon, dealing with health issues and cleanup, was hell. Today, so far, has been wonderful. The furst Access-a-Ride got me to the lab about 40 minutes early, There was no one waiting so they saw me immediately and also took care of the lab work for an appointment I have on this Friday, so that's now out of the way. I had an hour to wait for my return trip, so I called the dispatch and a ride arrived 20 minutes later.

From DR Ginny:

Quote
DR Jane, the realtor recommended at the end of August that we clear out, let her bring in a spruce-up crew, and then list the house.  That meant we didn’t have to keep it presentable AND pack for moving at the same time.

That is much easier than trying to keep a perfect house while preparing to move.

Quick selling vibes once your house is on the market!

Not a fan of Iron Cactus. We ate at La Fonda on Main when you were in town. I love it.

I had trouble imaging Iron Castus could be as good as La Fonda on Main, OMG that was good food.

At first, when I right-clicked on the laptop's desktop to go to "Display settings," it gave me a message about there not being an app that could perform that function.  WHAT?? :o

So, I did the first thing everyone tries, and I restarted it.  That fixed the no-app message and I was able to get to the display settings to change the display orientation very easily.
