Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a Naples sort of vibe, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're enjoying hearing about Naples and they prefer Florida to Italy for reasons only they know.

Naples' neighborhoods are all suburban with no direct connection to the downtown area. Much of Southern Florida is like that. No one walks. It's too humid and hot most of the year for that. So people retired to the sunshine and then proceed to embalm themselves in air conditioning.

My shoulder has been killing me for about 2 weeks.  It started when I was sleeping with my arm over my head and Ricky was sleeping on my upper arm.  I got a shooting pain through my shoulder.  I still have a full range of movement so I haven't done anything except take Aleve, but I wish it would get better.  I woke up this morning and there was Ricky sleeping on my arm again

Anthony is also awake and eating breakfast. I can't eat anything. I haven't had anything since 6:30 last night when I ate last. I will survive. There are worse things that could happen. I could have had to prep as if for a colonoscopy but I didn't.

When I went to Blockbuster yesterday I bought THE SOCIAL NETWORK, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, DORIAN GRAY (with Colin Firth as Henry Wooten), and MY NAME IS KHAN, a nice Bollywood movie.

I watched DORIAN GRAY first - looked very nice and Ben Barnes was okay as Dorian, but they certainly changed the story a bit, and I never heard Dorian say what makes the deal that makes the picture change.

Then I watched THE SOCIAL NETWORK, which I enjoyed. Interesting. But also pointed out to me what a BIG disconnect there is between me and what is going on with YOUNG people in the world.

I may watch THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT tonight.

I had my appendix removed in an emergency operation when I was eight years old.  I had had stomach cramps for days and on Thursday evening, I began vomiting in all kinds of different colors.  Because my regular doctor didn't have evening hours, my parents took me to another doctor my aunt recommended.  Not only did his poking at my lower abdomen cause me to jump to the ceiling, but he went on to freak me out when he shouted, "He's got to be operated on NOW!!!"  Fortunately, the hospital was right across the street from his office.  My mom and dad never left my side as I was checked in and prepped and wheeled into the operating room.  The next thing I can recall was looking out of my recovery room window and thinking I was seeing little Chinese children in coolie hats jumping on and off a Ferris wheel.

Good morning, all! I went back to bed around 3:30 and slept fitfully the remainder of the night. The alarm went off at 7 and I slept in. I'm quite tired, and I'd like to spend the rest of the morning in bed but I may be going into City Center, once I hear from Joshie. If I don't, I've got other work at the NYPL.

Tonight, I'm meeting Peter Clem, an old friend from summer theatre, 1970, the friend with whom I stayed most of the first six months of my life in New York in 1979, and the friend who got me into 1980 NYC cabaret life - and work for the Men's Chorus - as a vocal arranger. I haven't seen him in about ten years since he and his partner moved out of the neighborhood, and last week he called me out of the blue. We're going to the Triad tonight to see this Jacques Brel show. I think it's an offshoot of the last Brel revival a couple of years ago, and I think we'll have a good time.

I'll also be waiting word on Ben's surgery, and post once I hear from Anthony.

No Encores! today, but I just worked on my calendar for the upcoming week to help Joshie out before the orchestra reading on the 24th. So, I'll go to the NYPL this afternoon. I expect to hear from Anthony once DR Ben is in recovery.

So, until then I will have a quiet morning and try to wake up.

BK, re: your ears when flying.  Julieanne, who has all kinds of sinus problems, has special ear-pplugs she bought that she wears when the plane takes off and lands and I guess equalize the pressure changes of ascent and descent.  Call her and she can tell you specifically what they are.  I think she bought hers at the airport.

Never trust Philip Seymour Hoffman! :D

I've called the cell and home pgones of DR Ben and left messages. I thought he would be in recovery by now. I will head off to the NYPL and wait to hear from Anthony. I don't have a cell phone number for him, so I can't reach him. I was hoping that he would have possession of DR Ben's cell.

I shall now be on my way to rehearsal.  That goes from one to four.  First show is at six-thirty, so I'll either stay down there and find a nearby restaurant, or I'll come back to the hotel IF Gregory and Linda are coming back - they don't know that they are.  If the first show is at six-thirty, I'd imagine the second show would be eight-thirty or thereabouts, which means that I could be back here by ten, which would be ideal.

He didn't give me any "real" meds - antibiotics - just some prescription strength ibuprofen - since it appears to already be on it's way out of my body. But at least that explains my fatigue over the past couple of days.

I got back from the NYPL to a message from Anthony: he clearly doesn't have my cell phone number either. The message was dated 1:41 pm, and DR Ben has come through the surgery so well that he may be going home this evening,

They do know he has a lot of steps to climb when he gets home, I hope...

I am so embarrassed! I forgot that yesterday was the fourth anniversary of my dad's death, and the 14th was the second anniversary of the discovery of John McGlinn's body. No wonder I'm having weird dreams.

Wow, it's already been 2 years since John McGlinn past away.  Crazy how time goes by.

The new season of SURVIVOR starts tonight. I have not decided if I will be watching this time, or not. I bailed out of last season's about half way through.

Good thing:  Boston Rob is back


Horrible thing:  The vile Russell is also back...for the third time in less than what seems like a year. 

Well Boston Rob is one of my all time favorite Survivors so I definitely will be watching. And I actually sort of like Evil Russell. He is a quite brilliant player. So I will enjoy seeing what will happen.

"Brilliant" players win, Jennifer.  In two tries, Russell has only alienated anyone and everyone who might have cast a "winning"vote for him.

When you wake up, DR Ben, you can have all the ice cream you want!

I believe you have confused surgery's.  This one is known for having a tube down your nose into your stomach to prevent infection.  I suspect DR Ben won't need the tube since this was scheduled & not an emergency.


LOL, Jane.  Ben can still eat all the ice cream he wants!

I've shaved and will now shower.  I'm being picked up at twelve-thirty.  Have no idea how long rehearsal is (long enough for a run-through is all I know) and then I have no idea how long it is between that and the first show, so I don't know whether to dress up now or later.


Why not take your change of clothes to the rehearsal - just in case.

He didn't give me any "real" meds - antibiotics - just some prescription strength ibuprofen - since it appears to already be on it's way out of my body. But at least that explains my fatigue over the past couple of days.

The day started at 4:45 Am with the cats making as much noise as possible in my room.  Never mind that this house is between 2000 and 2500 square feet, they had to have a row in my room.   I was so mad that I ended up being wide awake and up for the day.  I searched the house for 2 hours for my divorce decree (for the application) and couldn't find it.   Then Edith decided today was the day to get all upset with me about things in general.  I think we cleared the air, but I wasn't really up to that.  Then a client called just to complain and get a bad experience with the security guards at the immigration building "off his chest".   His appointment went well, but he was upset the guards weren't nicer to him.  Oh good grief.

The day started at 4:45 Am with the cats making as much noise as possible in my room.  Never mind that this house is between 2000 and 2500 square feet, they had to have a row in my room.   I was so mad that I ended up being wide awake and up for the day.  I searched the house for 2 hours for my divorce decree (for the application) and couldn't find it.   Then Edith decided today was the day to get all upset with me about things in general.  I think we cleared the air, but I wasn't really up to that.  Then a client called just to complain and get a bad experience with the security guards at the immigration building "off his chest".   His appointment went well, but he was upset the guards weren't nicer to him.  Oh good grief. 

I never expected you would need your divorce decree.  Do you have to send for a new one?

Thank you, Dear VixMom for the kind words.  I am so very glad to be back among my friends.  :)

Now if only the dream I had last night would come true.  I dreamed our little lotto group at work won!  The big jackpot is up to $101 Million dollars tonight so that would be a dream come true! 

We don't play all of the time but when the pot is nice and big we each put in $2.00.  There's just 4 of us in the group.

I had quite a day.  I spent almost the entire day working on the application for the Nebraska bar.  I'm hoping to be admitted so I can work across the river in South Sioux City.  It's so close that it's silly I haven't done this sooner.  The 40 page application is what stopped me.  Well, it's done.  I get my fingerprints done tomorrow and will get more documents I need on Tuesday, then I rob the piggybank and send it all in.  Whew!

Congratulations on completing the first batch paperwork.  Vibes the entire process goes smoothly from now on!

Thanks.  It shouldn't be a problem.  I have to find two people to swear to my good moral character, and that should be it.  Then I just wait.  Sometimes they ask for another document or two, but I think i've got it all.  Not sure how long the wait is.   Then, of course, I'll have to buy some Nebraska law books.

I'm so very happy to read that DR Ben is doing well but I kinda wish he had stayed in the hospital overnight.  I think they try to rush things now days.

 

I agree.  I didn't think about it much until after going home from the hospital the same day as surgery.

I am back from the Triad, where I saw something called  "Jacques Brel Returns," an offshoot of the last Off-Broadway revival of Jacques Brel Is Alive & Well & Living In Paris. I am not a fan of a lot of the rethinking of material in that revival, although I am a huge fan of Brel. This cabaret night bothered me because of the constant shift between English and French lyrics, although I have to say in its defense a lot of Brel's original songs vere between French and Flemish.

I liked three of the singers a lot - Robert Cuccioli, Natascia Diaz, and Jean Brassard  - and really disliked Karen Kohler; nothing she did amused me or my friend. The pianist Rick Hip-Flores was wonderful.

It was also great to catch up with my old friend Peter Clem, and I think we will initiate a once-monthly dinner, just so we don't lose touch with each other for another 20 years.

The new season of SURVIVOR starts tonight. I have not decided if I will be watching this time, or not. I bailed out of last season's about half way through.

Good thing:  Boston Rob is back


Horrible thing:  The vile Russell is also back...for the third time in less than what seems like a year. 

Well Boston Rob is one of my all time favorite Survivors so I definitely will be watching. And I actually sort of like Evil Russell. He is a quite brilliant player. So I will enjoy seeing what will happen.

"Brilliant" players win, Jennifer.  In two tries, Russell has only alienated anyone and everyone who might have cast a "winning"vote for him.   

I disagree that brilliant players win. Russell made it to the finals twice. I don't think the best players usually win.

I've also been working on some stuff that was shot at the Chick-fil-A there. I am a corporate whore. Anything for money.

As far as Texas, we're coming to Houston and Dallas in April. And Louisville, too, Mr. Pogue.

Watching "One Hour with You," a Maurice Chevalier-Jeannette MacDonald movie. I can't stop grinning, except when I'm laughing.

At one point, Charles Ruggles is ready to go to a party dressed as Romeo. He finds out it's not a costume party, so he asks his obviously gay butler why he did it. The butler replies, "Because I've always wanted to see you in tights."

Oh yeah, but just looking ahead since sometimes people forget to look and we keep updating it. The Facebook listing, which I maintain, is the most up-to-date, but our website has all the places it's played, past and future. Over 100 festivals so far and over a dozen theatrical dates. Pretty cool!

Back from the two shows - more in the notes, although I must write them in a hurry so I can at least try and get four hours of sleep.
