And on to today...

Good Morning!

The second day after a show closing is always harder than the first one. -I've been reading similar accounts of recovering after running a marathon. In any case... Even though I was in bed by midnight, I didn't really wake myself until around 10:30 this morning. And I'm still feeling a bit logey.

Thankfully, the sun is out, and having the sun shine through the windows here is always a good thing. I've just had my morning bowl of oatmeal, and... Now I just need to decide what to do with the rest of my day. I'm actually thinking of heading to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. I haven't been there in years. -And I was just living four blocks away from it! It's a nice museum, and it's always nice ooh-ing and aah-ing over their Faberge Egg collection. And then I can walk over to Carytown for some window shopping and a late lunch. Then I think I'm heading over to Steve's for dinner before I head back up to Fairfax tonight. As always, we shall see...

Yes, a book by a cozy fire...even if it is propane.

Stairs leading into library.

DR Pogue - Thatsa lotta books!

Beautiful room.

Like others, I'm assuming a dream home would also come with landscapers and yard people to keep it up. Otherwise, I'd want a condo or apartment that didn't involve outside maintenance.

With that in mind, I'd have a ranch style home in Hawaii. I'd like the tropical weather and a sense of space. I love the beach, also. In the home would be a genuine home theater with stadium seating and a large screen (on the order of 110") with a front projection system.

Good morning, all! Last night's weird dream involved a wedding trip to London, where I saw a lot of friends and met John Barrowman. I think Sally Ann Triplett was in it as well. And there was a hot air balloon, and DR Jose was there, too, something about constellations and Cassiopiea and Orion.

DR Jose, I saw your post about Steve's rehearsal. Didn't he conduct a chart of mine at Christmas?

Hmmm... I've never been to London, but I've always been fascinated with constellations. I was on quite the astronomy kick when I was in middle school.

And Steve played one of your charts at Christmas. The Men's Chorus conducor, Tim, had baton duty.

So your library is in the basement? It's a very large room regardless.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #38 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:03:15 AM »

Jose, that's just the official library. Somewhere between 60-70 boxes. There is a whole wall and a half of shelves going into my office. That's another twenty/twenty-five boxes more. Somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 books. A lot of those shelves are double-stacked with duplicate editions or old editions of books I've upgraded. I actually sold some books before I left and have weeded out a box or two more, I don't think I really want and will be getting rid off. After all, I've got to have some room to buy more!

There are still a few things to be done. Pictures (movie posters mostly) to be hung, etc. If you look to the left of the library stairs picture, you can sorta make out my Gunga Din poster.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #39 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:05:50 AM »

Hmm... I wonder if DR elmore would ever post a pic of his library.

Matt H. · « **Reply #40 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:05:58 AM »

DR Jennifer, have you watched HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER? If you're enjoying COURTING ALEX this much, I'd think HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER might also be a show you might enjoy, especially lately with more romantic things going on.

But shows are perfectly pleasant but just not my cup of tea. However, I've stayed with HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER because I like the cast and there's nothing else on as I wait for '24' to come on.

Matth, it's the lower lever of the house, not really a basement...or what one would call a finished walk-out basement. There are also three bedrooms and a bath on this level. Behind the library is the mechanics room of the house where water-heaters and duct work are. But it is also very finished and huge. There'll be a gym and a crafts room in that area.

As for the Topic of the Day...

I'd like a house right in the middle of Central Park. Right in the middle of the Reservoir. My own private island as it were. Surrounded by the Park and the City. But seriously...

A loft in SoHo. A penthouse on Central Park West and/or Central Park East. And a well-appointed one bedroom in the midst of the theatre district so that I could freshen up between shows.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #43 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:10:36 AM »

But after visiting Australia a few years ago...

A penthouse overlooking Sydney Harbor. A standing reservation at the Crown in Melbourne. And I wouldn't mind having DR Tomovoz, Colin and Magnus and Fosca as neighbors either in Upper Beaconsfield.

DR Charles... I want your library in my Victorian dreamhouse!!

A library witha fireplace... ah that is a dream home. Congratulations!

bk · « **Reply #45 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:17:59 AM »

I'm up, I'm up. Lovely library photographs.

Let's have descriptions of the dream homes or apartments - how many rooms, what sort of furniture and decor, etc. You can do it.

Must get ready quickly and be on my way to LACC, because I have to arrange for a parking pass and other stuff before the workshop begins. The best news? We're in the big theater - that will be a lot of fun.

DR Jason... I love your aquarium pictures. I was fondly reminded of my one and only trip there, more than 20 years ago. My friend and I were walking the "freedom trail" and it suddenly started to rain. We were right by the aquarium, which we had had no intention of visiting, but figured it was better than getting soaked so in we went. We loved it so much we spent the rest of the day there even though the storm quickly passed.

Do students give Apples to their Teachers?

Have a great first day at LACC, BK!

Matt H. · « **Reply #51 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:22:51 AM »

Of course, if money were no object, I, like others, would have apartments in cities that I love visiting: NYC, San Francisco. I'd say London, but I haven't made it there yet, but I suspect I'll love it when I do go.

Today is Fruitcake Toss Day!

(Exactly how that fruitcake should be tossed, whether manually or otherwise, is not specified.)

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #53 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:25:19 AM »

As can be seen to some extent in the library pictures, I love the mission/craftsman style. Simple, hardy, strong, well-made furniture. I have the stuff all through the house and I would have even more in a dream home.

~~~Health Vibes~~~ to MattH's fella

Thank you, DR Vixmom. Listening to his voice getting progressively raspier and hearing a hacking cough right near the end of our conversation, I suspect he's in the grip of the gryppe!

One of those things that's going to have to run its course, I guess. And I appreciated that he didn't want us to get together until he knew for sure how contagious he was going to be. But the idea of not seeing him this week is not much fun though, of course, necessary. I'd rather he take care of himself, of course.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #55 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:26:16 AM »

And now, here's something clever.

Matt H. · « **Reply #56 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:27:21 AM »

I've been tossing fruitcakes for years. Immediately when I am given one as a gift, I toss it right in the garbage. I can't STAND the things.

Matt H. · « **Reply #57 on:** February 07, 2006, 08:39:02 AM »

Guess I'll go start prepping lunch now.

Good First Day Vibes - make them sing Good Morning, Miss Crabtree.
