Here's an update on the Happy Cat Sanctuary fire last week:

DR vixmom, your Amadeus adventure sounds wonderful. I've been a fan of F. Murray Abraham since I saw him on Broadway in McNally's The Ritz around 1975. He's a wonderful actor, and I'm sure he will be wonderful in his musical with Chenoweth. Unfortunately, at the Drama Book Shop he was an arrogant sonofabitch and I've been on the receiving end - for the record, I was right and he wasn't - and I'm not sure I'd want to play nice with him.

He said something about after winning the Oscar he became overly impressed with himself and was a bit of an ass to his detriment and that he hopes he behaves better these days

Nice of him to acknowledge that.

My friend is retired air force, so they literally just get on the next stand-by plane (for free because he's retired air force) and go where it takes them. 

They must pack light to be able to make quick decisions.

They've been doing it for years, so I'm sure that they do.

It was only 95 degrees when we left.

Only??

Yup.  Tomorrow it will be 74 degrees in Cyprus.

Whew!

One time, they were expecting/hoping to go to Italy, but the next flight there wasn't for a few days, so they got on the next flight and it took them to Nova Scotia!  They had a fantastic time...and eventually did get to Italy.

That worked out great for them!  It's terrific when that happens.

Bill Finn's death was such a shock this morning! He was Goodspeed's Composer in Residence the summer of 1998 while I was working on Mirette and Redhead, and I thought he was a hoot. I liked him very much although I hated his Falsettos musicals, whichj I call AIDS For Dummies. His song "I'd Rather Be Sailing" is such a wonderful number, and I loved the Spelling Bee show.

I had the strangest experience this morning. I called Joshie, screwed up the number, redialed it, and I was talking to him when the secopnd line started ringing. I put him on hold, clicked on the second line, and there was no one there. So, I resumed talking to Joshie, and there was a knock at my door.

Come in! I yelled, thinking it was Jen coming for the post office package. Instead, a policewoman stuck her head in the door and asked if I were in trouble. I saiod I was fine, and she said, We got a phone call from you. The polioceman with her asked, is your number 212-3562-29xx? I said itwas, but I didn't call 911 or the precinct. The lady said she was glad I was okay, and they left after petting Stella, who was playing Welcome Wagon.

This is another great photo!

And thanks again, Jrand, for posting them here!

Thanks and Ditto.

Oh, no!

You could write two books, with the narrative being just fictional enough that you're able to put out the pertinent story, but not so truthful that you could get sued.

Just a thought.

That's very helpful advice.  I think the stories are only potentially interesting to potential readers (or to places to seek publicity) because of who the real people have been.  So I've been careful that the stories not disparage anyone.

I think I'd know how to promote a book where the focus of publicizing the book is the parody lyrics, not really concerned that the book sell really well, but still use the book as tool for putting on a show.   That's why I thought the best approach was to put parodies and stories in the same book.  But you may have the better idea.

Oh, my!  Glad you're okay, Larry!

Millstone Alert - George, you're getting close to another impressive millstone.  Could be today, or at least real soon.

It's very good to now have that in mind as a possibility.

Or maybe use the narrative you described as the basis for a musical.  Liberties with real life are almost always seen as acceptable in musicals.

I have a friend who was working with Mr F. Murray Abraham.  My friend asked him what the "F" stood for and he said:  "Famous."

I don’t want to pile on ol’ F, but I knew a server at one of his favorite midtown haunts who said the “F” stood for “creep.”

[bk]

Books have arrived, so guess I'll go pick 'em up.

Had farfalle with chicken, sundried tomatoes, peas, roasted garlic, and mushrooms from Cheesecake Factory.

LOL DR ROZINSKI.

Glad your computer is working DR GEORGE.

HOORAY for the books arriving!
