Why are we so wide?  Can anyone see anything that has caused it?  If so, point it out to me and I'll fix it.

I have to go buy more little envelopes to ship the Kevin CD in.  If the orders suddenly come pouring in I'm going to have to find a much cheaper place to get them than Staples.  There I'm paying about six bucks for twelve envelopes, which seems ridiculous on the face of it or even on the feet of it.

Do you have a COSTCO near yyou?  They using sell things like that there quite inexpensively.  Our office manager gets the majority of the office supplies there these days.

Ben, I also listen to Accuradio, usually when WMKV is having one of their geezer programs.  All the BBC sites are great!  I frequently visit the National Theatre Site and The Royal Shakespeare Company. My favourite British theatre sites are www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk and the  www.albemarle-london.com

I forgot about the NY Times. I read it every week day on-line. I stopped paying $1 a day for the paper though I do buy it on the weekends. Delivery is not a viable option since I live in a small, non-doorman building. It's hard to get things like the daily paper delivered.

Ginny, glad to see the FC Web site there on your list  ;D

If you're a Karen Morrow fan click on this link.

http://blip.tv/file/1580

She's performing at the Onna White Memorial. She tells a VERY funny story about rehearsals for I Had a Ball (w/Buddy Hackett and others) and then sings the title song. You need Quick Time on your computer for the clip to play. If you have high speed it will load very quickly, if you're on dial-up it will take some time.

Charles, thanks for the British Theatre sites.

I too, tune out when the talk comes on to WMKV.

I just remembered another site I visit.

I detest most jargon. I feel like it's taking over the English language. Whenever I can, I try to remove it from text that I edit, replacing it with easy to understand English. IMHO, most people speaking jargon sound like they are trying to impress people, they don't sound any more intelligent. Rant over. Now, on to the Web site. The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation has a page on their site which discusses this very issue. It's called The Jargon Files:

I had Popeye's Fried Chicken twice this week.  Last night, I ordered the special box of five chicken strips (five chicken strips cost only 50 cents more than three for some reason), and the young lady was about to put the box in a bag, and I said no thanks, I'm having it here.  She said quizzically "You are?" which I interpret as her saying no one can eat five chicken strips in one meal all by himself.  I was sure I could.  But it turned out she was right.  I had to stop after the third chicken strip.  

If I hadn't, I guess I'd be even wider today as well, of course.

DR Jose - The one time I met Harold Prince was at Shun Lee near Lincoln Center.  I was with my friend Michael on our way to a Sondheim benefit at Avery Fisher Hall.  We were leaving the restaurant, and we politely held the door and let two ladies go by, but then saw they were with about four other people, so we let them go by, too.  It turned out they were all part of Harold Prince's party.  Then Harold Prince said "OK, I'll hold the door for you guys now," and he did exactly that and wished us a wonderful evening.  A very pleasant encounter.

Thursday....only three more performances.  :)

I visit HHW several times a day.

I visit EBAY, of course.  And the Scarlet Street site, less frequently though.

The Frances Farmer Tribute site www.geocities.com/~themistyone/

I am webmaster of my theatre group site, so I also go there a few times a  day.  www.putnamcountyplayhouse.com

I like IMDB and IBDB.

www.epinions.com is a nice site for customer reviews of just about anything.

Amazon.com for books and movies and DVD reviews, etc.

NO usenet groups or anything like that.

AND of course www.glamourgirlsofthesilverscreen.com

If any DR is looking for a FREE site to host a personal website, you can get four pages (home, blog, photo album -100 pics -, and links) at www.zoomshare.com  It's a nice site that puts NO ads or popups on your site.  Also it's easy to USE!

As for Prince, he must be older than Noah now.  He might not be able to hear very well!

Look OUT!  I'm HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!

Hey life, look at me
I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me, outta my world
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to the happening

When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you find a tender love
You don't need to take care of
Then you better beware of the happening

One day you're up
When you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour, yeah!
Riding high on the top of the world it happened
Suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams torn apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening

Now I see life for what it is
It's not a dream
It's not a bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened

Is it real?
Is it fake?
Is this game of life a mistake?
'Cause when I lost the love
I thought was mine for certain
Suddenly it starts hurting
I saw the light too late
When that fickle finger of fate
Yeah! It came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up

So sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour
'Cause when you got a tender love
You don't take care of
Then you better beware of
The happening

Larry, I saw the e-mail from Esche yesterday regarding music cut from the 1993 She Loves Me cast recording (I get one e-mail a day which lists all posts from the previous day in one long read). I could tell from the tone of his post that it was not something to be believed.

John was a pompous I-know-it-all-ass twenty years ago and some things never change.   I just got Warren's comment about petty fighting, and I sent him an email back defending Bruce from Mr Esche's very different account.

elmore: Esche responded to my version of the story?  What did he say?  I've bitch-slapped him before and I certainly can do it again.  You'd think he'd learn.

Actually, BK, I did you a disservice.  After posting your paragraph, I added my own commentary on how much I loathed the Roundabout revival and hated the recording.  Mr Esche thought it was your commment and went off on that, but he did accuse me of pushing you to respond.  I sent another email apologizing for my gaff, and now the MAN with the site has sent out an email about petty personal arguments.

I sent him an email back telling him that all I was doing was posting in your defense a story that varied greatly from the pompous moron's account.

Well, I certainly wasn't up with Jed at 3:30 am!  However, at the time that BK inquired as to my whereabouts, I'm quite sure I was.  I dare not reveal any more, though...this is, after all, a family website  ;D

My daily web site visits always includes a stop at:

Wacko Nutso Daily

Here I can read about who is really to blame for the recent disasters!

Quote
What do these major record-setting events have in common?
•Nine of the ten costliest insurance events in U.S. history

•Six of the seven costliest hurricanes in U.S. history

•Three of the four largest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history

•Nine of the top ten natural disasters in U.S. history ranked by FEMA relief costs

•The two largest terrorism events in U.S. history
 
All of these major catastrophes transpired on the very same day or within 24-hours of U.S. presidents Bush, Clinton and Bush applying pressure on Israel to trade her land for promises of "peace and security," sponsoring major "land for peace" meetings, making major public statements pertaining to Israel's covenant land and/or calling for a Palestinian state.

Are each one of these major record-setting events just a coincidence or awe-inspiring signs that God is actively involved in the affairs of Israel?
