I honestly thought Sizzler was defunct.

Me. too. Haven't seen one in DECADES! We have Outback and Ponderosa, though.

Photo layout approved and as soon as I receive the hi-rez files, off it will all go to the designer.

Great news, BK! Congrats on the progress of the book.

TOD:

I think the successful stage-to-movie musical transitions, for me, are:

The Sound of Music
The Music Man
Gypsy
West Side Story
My Fair Lady
Oklahoma
The King and I
South Pacific (despite the color filters)
Cabaret
The Unsinkable Molly Brown
Chicago
1776
Call Me Madam
Funny Girl
Hello, Dolly!

Unsuccessful:
Nine
Rent
Sweeney Todd (looked great, but singing is what it's all about)
Camelot (beautiful, tuneful, but woefully directed, IMO)
Paint Your Wagon (some great stuff in it, but the direction killed it)
Annie Get Your Gun (it's a chore for me to watch it).

My criteria for succesful vs. unsuccessful: I was more entertained than bothered by anything in the film.

It is a strange day here in Johnston SC in the CSRA.

First, I had a dental appointment at 10;30 a.m. That went well enough.

I came home to find my shrubbery team (different from my grass man) working away at a problem hedge that had completely gone bonkers. They pruned and hauled away for two hours. It looks great now.

I bought my lunch at The Triangle (don't be square, eat at the triangle), and had hamburger steak with gravy and onions, creamed potatoes and mixed greens. Hit the spot.

My day has been spent, however, with the feeling that something isn't quite "up to snuff" with my sinuses. In fact, I've been doing some snuffling and nose blowing. Congestion seems to be winning out, so i rather think I'm in the throes of a head cold. Torpor and malaise are my symptoms.

At the dentist, the hygienist asked me how my week is going?

I had to stop and think where in the week I was.

Greetings from the Bedford Playhouse. I’m sitting in their lounge with a few minutes to catch up on mail ‘n stuff.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #73 on:** February 27, 2024, 03:12:58 PM »

We’re getting the rain and wind tomorrow and Thursday. So what else is new?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #74 on:** February 27, 2024, 03:14:46 PM »

I have the dermatologist tomorrow, in one of his other offices 40 minutes away as opposed to the one ten minutes from my house.

I thought I had an appointment with the dermatologist tomorrow to finally remove the skin cancer. I thought we were talking about February, except the person making the appointment was talking about March. I have never ever had to wait more than two weeks after receiving the results of a biopsy. In fact they have always insisted I don't wait longer. The office is short a couple of medical staff, and all offices seem to take forever these days.

Jane · « **Reply #79 on:** February 27, 2024, 03:41:32 PM »

My big issue with waiting weeks longer is the location of this darn thing. I keep irritating it. I gave up wearing bandaids as they irritate my skin making it worse, except I figured it didn't matter if I formed a scab as I would be getting it removed tomorrow. Sigh.

Jane · « **Reply #80 on:** February 27, 2024, 03:41:57 PM »

I am on a wait list now in case something earlier opens up.

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** February 27, 2024, 03:43:46 PM »

Since this appointment is the day before a scheduled eye exam I attempted to postpone the eye exam a few months. The next available appointment is in September. I don't want to wait that long. I found out the practice is very busy these days and the doctor is no longer taking new patients.

Thanks. I'm really on a time crunch as this takes soooo long to heal.

I just finished my errata check of the Act One full score. Stella lay beside me as I worked and behaved. Naughty Annabelle climbed onto my worktable to lie on my score. I petted her for a bit, then picked her up and set her o the floor. About ten minutes she returned and we went through the same routine. Ten minutes later she showed up again. After being dumped for the third time, she did not return.
