Hmmm...The See's Chocolate diet. Like the old seafood diet - I see food, I eat it.

Topic of the Day...

-Meeting Richard Sherman at the opening party of What If? last summer.

-Dishing with Larry Blank - who has another interview up on another website - and Christine Baranski after a performance of Sweeney Todd at the Kennedy Center.

-And, actually, a lot of those post-show gatherings at the Watergate Brasserie were usually quite "informative" and "colorful". -I'm still amazed we didn't get kicked out after some company members did body shots on the bar.

And... Well, I'm still waking up, and I need to hop in the shower and take care of some other stuff before heading in for the matinee... And I have to remember to stop for gas on the way in too... And... And...

Laters...

Good morning!

Beautiful day here and should be a bit warmer than yesterday with temps in the mid-50s. It was VERY cold still when I went out this morning to the ATM and grocery store.

I really enjoyed meeting and talking with Tony Kushner at the opening night party when Charlotte Rep premiered ANGELS IN AMERICA here about 10 years ago. Because of the controversy surrounding the show which led to the Arts & Science Council in the city removing the Rep from its list of grantees, Tony came down to lend his support for the fund raising that was going on to keep the Rep in the black. Worked great only to go down in flames with bad leadership a few years later.

Thanks to DRs George and Jennifer for information about the end of this week's IN JUSTICE. Yes, that guilty party did seem to come out of the blue.

Really looking forward to the two hour season premiere of '24' tonight which means the poor DVR will be on overtime recording DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, COLD CASE, and L&O:CI during the same two hour time period.

Matt H. · « **Reply #36 on:** January 15, 2006, 08:33:50 AM »

No, Jennifer, I have never watched CLOSE TO HOME. Its original time period was Tuesday at 10 when I was already watching several other shows (including RESCUE ME and now THE SHIELD on F/X, QUEER EYE on Bravo, and SVU on NBC and even occasionally BOSTON LOGAL on ABC).

Even though it's moved now, I just haven't gotten in the habit of watching. I'm glad it's doing well in its new time period, and it looks like it and GHOST WHISPERER make a very compatible two hour Friday night block for CBS. But I think I watch enough procedurals for the moment.

It works for me all the time.

I still have Wednesday night's CSI: NY to watch from the DVR and I'll probably go back and rewatch one or two of the long programs from last night's skating: Kimmie Meisner's and Sasha Cohen's more than likely.

Then, on to a DVD before this long battery of TV shows this evening.

Jason welcome back. I’m sorry I just missed you.

Elmore-LOL we were only 20 minutes sorry, at which time we turned BROTHERS GRIMM off. The advantages of a DVD.

Rodzinsky how can something with beer in it taste like a milkshake!

It is beautiful here this morning having snowed during the night. Now if it will only melt off the driveway before we have to shovel. Thank goodness our driveway was repaired on Wednesday or it might have collapsed with the rain and snow we have been having.

Bruce congratulations on last night’s show and may today’s matinee be just as wonderful.

Well, the new GOLDEN APPLE vocal score is finally corrected, up-to-date, and ready for the printer. The new vocal-choral book needs a teensy bit of work and it, too, will be fine. On Tuesday, I'll go to Tams-Witmark and make fixes in the masters of the orchestra parts, and I can consider this turkey frozen. Now I have to win ther lottery to pay for a complete recording of this amazing show.

Shortly I leave to meet DR TPunk, whom I'm taking for her birthday to the movies. I come back for an hour and head out for a date with my goddaughter. Such a day!

I'm up, I'm up. Well, the LA weathermen have done it again - one of the biggest storms turned out to be rain for an hour yesterday. Today, the sun is shining, the skies are blue, and the storm was a figment of their collective imaginations.

bk · « **Reply #45 on:** January 15, 2006, 09:51:09 AM »

When I was doing Forget-Me-Not Lane at the Taper, we always had incredible people backstage - I met Groucho, Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows, Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy, Elsa Lanchester (the latter three people I saw many times over the next year, as I brunched regularly at Elsa's beach house, which was next door to the Isherwood/Bachardy house), Ray Bradbury, Julie Harris, and many, many others.

I loved meeting Rosemary Harris when I went backstage to see Crista Moore - I almost convinced her to sing Send In The Clowns on the Sondheim album. Marian Seldes was a treat, too.

I always get a kick out of the weathermen in ND... They claim for days and days about a huge storm and we get snow flurries.....

BTW: Continued broken leg vibes to you and the cast for today's premiere!!

One of the most entertaining after-show party was one that my alma mater had after they premiered the musical Grease....

It was a hoot watching one of the US Senators from MN and the mayor of Moorhead doing the Shag to a 50s tune in a three-piece suit.

Thanks to Elmore, I enjoyed meeting the luminous Rebecca Luker after DARLING OF THE DAY.

TPunk is on her way, Elmore, and now I shall go into a Colts football trance.

Sunday greetings! Today is full of packing and other NYC preparations. Here's a flash:

Last night I cancelled the hotel reservations I had made months ago...

...but only after DH Richard had made a new one at a much lower rate for the same accommodations, same number of nights, same hotel. Go figure. What that tells me is to keep checking online until the last possible moment.

Fletcher sends his thanks to all for the vibes. His ear looks much better than it did this time yesterday - the vet did a marvelous job of stitching it back together. Right now, he's sleeping on an old bean-bag chair right behind where I'm sitting, one of his favorite places

I'm here, taking a break from cleaning, cooking and watching a repeat on ESPN of the Ladies' Figure Skating short program competition.

Now Cooking: In my crockpot is a chicken-and-garlic stew.

In my pressure cooker is a pork loin roast which I am going to pull apart for BBQ purposes.

In my washing machine: Sheets.

It's a glorious day here in the Bay Area...crisp and fresh...makes one glad to be alive!!!

Been busy working on some genealogy research for a freind whose sight is impaired....

I may have to call for Francois's help. I am having trouble with a word and after I translated it does not make sense but when I go with a different tense it does. It is a letter a person got from relatives back in the 1880s from the Breton region.

Sounds good Ron!

I just pulled out some chicken breasts to thaw for supper. I have a recipe I want to try called Apricot Chicken breasts.
