Well, you've read the notes, the notes knows what Rosebud means, but the notes aren't talking, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to figure out what Rosebud means.

Well, I spent too much time in the bathroom last evening, so I am surprised that after all that I slept about dive hours straight. I usually wake up every 2-3 hours.

I don't feel bad today, and I'm a bit sorry I canceled the Access-a-Ride. We're due for snow tomorrow, so I think I'll try Access-a-Ride for Wednesday. I don't use my cell phone much, but now that it's dead, I want a working one.

Well, DR George, I saw several of these, so I will offer my thoughts.
Carrie: epic disaster, completely hilarious srage and costume design: the opening shower scene had the high school girls un wrap-around towels witrh shoulder straps, why the gym coach ruan around in chiffon cocktail dresses. Betty Buckley looked like Whistler's Mother.
When Carrie dressed for the prom, she had this "Wouldn't it be loverly" number while her shoes and accessories danced around magically; she's terrified of her kinetic powers?
At the opening of act two, the baddies - Charlote d'Amboise, I think, and her boyfriend who looked about as I would as a high school boy, have this "If You Love Me, Kill a Pig" number while he jumped into a pit and pretended to beat an unseen pig to death while they played loud pig squeals over the PA.

Merrily We Roll Along: who wants to pay full Broadway ticket prices to see a badly conceived high schhol play where the "kids" playing disillusioned, cynical 40 year-olds don't have any idea of what they're doing. I never thought Frank was enough of a villain, ut I thought that Lonny Price and Jason Alexander were quite good. I also thought the show only became involving when we finally got back to their ages of 20-25 with "Opening Doors." I still dislike this show.

Rags: a tragedy; there was so much good about it and it had a fantastic cast. The major problem was that politically, the Tammany Hall politicians hate the Jews but need the vote; Teresa Stratas led them all in a Hora and became the belle of the ball; REALLY? the other problem was Larry Kert, a good man who wanted to be charming and loved. and he's playing the villain of the show!

Prettybelle: okay, I didn't see it, but I read both the novel and the script because it fascinated me that antne saw a musical in it. The tone of the script was smarmy and dirty where the novel was outrageous.

And those are my thoughts. For today, anyway.

That was also my first thought on reading the TOD in the Notes.

BK wrote last night:
"I wish I could talk about the horror show I'm hearing about almost daily, but I can't and I shan't - for now."

That "for now" is certainly worth noting.
