Julie Miller rode up to Williamstown with a few of us to see Herringbone. I remain a FB friend. Sounds like your relationship is more complex than I realized.

Back then, the relationship was fantastic. In 2007, she was the excellent line producer of THE LAST STARFIGHTER at NYMF, and even flew to Seattle and joined us in Issaquah, Washington to be on our talkback panel for the Village Theatre workshop of LAST STARFIGHTER in 2008.

Even a month after the Jan. 2018 VIVA MAX! presentation, she co-produced an evening of Skip's work at 54 Below in Feb. 2018 (which included work from VIVA MAX! and THE LAST STARFIGHTER, and of course TIME AND AGAIN).

Then what?

Hello, everyone.

Healthy vibes to all who are ailing.

I find that I am worn out from a hectic year and moving very slooowwly.

During my freshman year of college a friend told me she went home for Christmas break and slept for three days! Three days! Even when I was young and a good sleeper I never did that! I’m thinking that that may be what I need, though. 😉 Maybe bk, too.

When I think back to all the tension and angst leading up to the election it makes sense.

Today is the birthday of former DR Julie Miller, my co-bookwriter on the show VIVA MAX! based on the satiric novel by Jim Lehrer, for which Skip wrote the music and lyrics. We did a staged reading presented by Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU)
directed by Evan Pappas,

https://truonline.org/events/viva-max-reading/

which was enjoyed by three generations of the Jim Lehrer family who came to see it at the Actors Temple, plus Jim's co-star on the MacNeil/Lehrer Report, Robert MacNeil.

A very talented lady, and I was (and am) proud of the work I did with her before that 2018 presentation. But my feelings towards how unrealistically she treated the project (and the business of being a theater writer) after that reading can, I think, be compared to Elmore's feeling towards John McGlinn.

I also very much enjoyed that presentation and was delighted to be invited

Yesterday afternoon I was invited to go home early, and requested to Lysol my desk before leaving

vixmom · « **Reply #130 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:31:09 PM »

I accepted both offers

Jeanne · « **Reply #131 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:31:23 PM »

Happy Birthday to DR Michael G!

May you have a wonderful birthday weekend.

I came home and went to sleep for 4 or 5 hours

vixmom · « **Reply #133 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:32:00 PM »

Then I woke up and Vixdad made me some hot tea with lemon infused honey

vixmom · « **Reply #134 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:32:23 PM »

And a “drop or two” of whiskey

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:32:46 PM »

And two Taco Bell hard shell tacos supreme

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:33:13 PM »

Then I went back to sleep until this morning

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:34:06 PM »

I had more tea and a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and we watched a couple more episodes of Only Murders in the Buikding

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:34:16 PM »

Then I dozed off again

Imagining the Gershwins in the hereafter as their heirs do anything for a buck

There are someones who we long to berate
Woe is our fate;
Make them think straight
The ones who watch our estate

All we want is for our heirs to behave
It feels like they’ve
Deepened our grave
The ones who watch our estate

Although it’s not as big an earner
As Rodgers or Lerner
Some props for the folks who create

You would think they had no food on their plate
Couldn’t they wait?
Oh how we hate
The ones who watch our estate

Very clever, Freddie. I’d enjoy hearing it performed.

Not before cancelling plans with WFO to see Wicked at the theatre

Vixdad just made me a cup of coffee and I just may doze again

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:35:51 PM »

But perhaps I’ll try to Wordle first

Rodzinski · « **Reply #143 on:** December 28, 2024, 01:41:16 PM »

Feel better, Vixmom. I, too, have been ailing. Not sure if I got a little of what the girls in the house had, or I overindulged in sweets on Boxing Day, but I was in bed all yesterday. Tummy was upset. Feel a little better today, but still a bit weak.

Then what?

I wish I understood.

Jim Lehrer has passed away since then. He was very happy with what we were doing in adapting his novel as a musical - and the Lehrer family has extended our rights.

I'd love for Julie to rejoin the project if opportunities occur, or if we can make opportunities happen ourselves.

Very HHW:

DR Elmore knows the obscure lyric to a wonderful old song and then DR Freddie chimes in with the perfect parody lyrics.

JohnG, what are your thoughts on “Kiss Me, Stupid”?

Not my favorite. Too much Ray Walston.
