The worst would be largely musicals that had no business being on stage:

Pretty Woman
An Officer and a Gentleman
An American in Paris

[John G.]

Four!

[Jane]

In that time, I have ushered for 350 shows. How did that happen?

Time flies quickly when you are having fun.

[Jane]

I had the pleasure of seeing him preform at the Shubert Theatre in  New Haven, CT.

Keith & I had tickets to see Bye Bye Birdie, except Keith was out of town.  I decided to drop the boys off to see it and pick them up.  My friend suggested, since we were already in New Haven walking around, that we stop in and see if I could get a single ticket.  I got a great ticket, up front near the boys.

Was he already well-known at that point?

It was 1990 and Seinfeld began in 1980, so yes

[Jane]

We moved back to Michigan and Craig played the same role in the school play.  I was doubly glad that I took the kids to see it, and very glad I also got to see it with them.

[Jane]

When I thought I only had two tickets there was no way I could take only one of them with me.

I had a good breakfast at Vivian's Cafe - I had no idea it was still around, I thought they'd shuttered for good during the pandemic.

That worked out great!

[bk]

Had a chili, cheese, and onion omelet - very good. There were two completely obnoxious show-biz idiots sitting there talking loudly about all these supposed deals they had for this and that - I didn't believe a word of it. I was trying to catch titles but couldn't quite.

[bk]

I went to Gelson's and got Diet Cokes, then picked up a large number of packages from Amazon, containing pantry items like rice, pasta, sauce, Chicken in a Biskit crackers, and stuff like that. I'm set with rice and pasta and Cream of Mushroom soup for weeks now.

When I got home, I began entering fixes and am now within eighty pages of being done with that. Unfortunately, Muse Margaret's cold or flu has worsened and she's too hoarse to converse, so that may unfortunately have to wait until the end of the week. I have about twenty things to run by her, so it's not that much.

That's nice they are still open.

Except for poor Keith who missed it.

Continued f'ing vibes for MR BK.

[Jrand74]

DR JANE I am glad you got to see BBB with the boys.

[Jrand74]

Getting it hung vibes for DR GINNY.

[George]

And me? Why, I'm the librarian.

Thst's so sweet!

[Freddie]

Continued f'ing vibes for MR BK.

Can we say that on a family website?

[Jrand74]

Some time ago - maybe years - we had a Hellman's vs. Duke's discussion here on HHW and I was firmly in the Hellman's camp.

Two weeks ago WalMart had Duke's on sale so I bought a jar.

I am now firmly in the Duke's camp.  I can't even explain the difference - but it is indeed more tasty and has a better consistency and I am completely converted to the Duke's camp.

[George]

The mixer is whirling today. So far I've made a bundt cake, walnut brownies, sugar-free brownies, two dozen cupcakes, and a batch of cream cheese mints. And a pot of soup.

Yum.

Yum is right!

[Jrand74]

I have completed and submitted my taxes.

[George]

I have usher retraining tonight. We are in our tenth year. How did that happen?

Congrats on the tenth year, John!  I don't remember exactly when I started volunteering, but I'm guessing around 1995 or so, so that's the year I tell people.  Close enogh.

[George]

In that time, I have ushered for 350 shows. How did that happen?

enough.

That's great!  The WCPA now uses a volunteer management program/website that they've been using for years that can keep stats, but not for anything before that started.

[George]

Some of the greats:

David Byrne’s American Utopia, before its Broadway run
Pilobolus, which is coming back soon
The former San Antonio Symphony doing Mahler’s Second (twice)
Jimmy Webb
My former classmate Joan Osborne doing an evening of Bob Dylan songs
Mavis Staples and The Blind Boys of Alabama
Garrison Keillor

Very nice!  I've seen so many performers over the years, too.

The Manhattan Transfer
Gregory Hines
Tony Bennett
Natalie Cole
The Pointer Sisters
Judy Collins (at least twice)
Lily Tomlin

And many, many more!

[George]

Nothing pre-Broadway has come to the WCPA, though.

Oh, no!

~~~Get Well Quickly Vibes for Muse Margaret!!~~~

[Jane]

DR JANE I am glad you got to see BBB with the boys.

Thanks. In the year that we lived there we went to many shows.  There was an excellent Japanese restaurant we ate dinner at before going to the theater.  While we enjoyed everything we saw there, BBB was the most memorable.

[Jane]

Reading the difference between Hellman's & Duke's I will stick with Best Foods

[Jane]

I like Vegenaise for egg salad, however, it goes bad before I can use up the jar.
