Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the last day of April, and now it is time for you to post until the April cows come home.

And the word of the day is: HELLION!

Topic of the Day: Fabergé eggs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabergé_egg)
Why the heck not??
;)
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
It is indeed morning. Hope Ant is better and better, Ben.
-
Thanks, Fred.
It looks that way. One more antibiotic pill today and then he's done. He's sleeping through the night without congestion and soon he'll be back to class. It's been a long two weeks.

Good morning, all! Last night's sleep was more nightmares about ROBERTA and frustrating calls to the US, since Dublin time is five hours ahead of Manhattan's. Jason Graae and our engineer Brian Masterson both looked great, but the dream was complete frustration. On a less frustrating note, I did managed to condense 3700+ words of the DEAREST ENEMY history to 3100+, in all a cut of 1700 words. I'm not happy with some of the cuts, but I've still got to lose 500 more. Then I can tackle the second huge essay for the recording booklet.
Today I need to hit my bank, call for the X-ray, go to Toyland and print thenew vocal score pages, and take the score to Kinko's for copying. Perhaps I'll hear from the actor's agent today.
-
;D
-
Good morning, all.
And happy birthday, Sheldon Harnick.
Continued vibes, Elmore. Continued vibes for Anthony. And for all in need.
-
Morning.
:) ;) ;D
-
To a really good day.
;D

Let's all make this just the best Tuesday ever!!! :-\

Waiting for the Tony Award Nominations this morning.....fingers crossed I get mine this year.

An original Miro, Picasso, Chagall, Kandinsky or Rothko. I'm not that particular, but here's a fun Miro:

Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time.
Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.
One day the boss called him in to the office for a talk.
"Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."
"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear."
"Yes sir, I understand your concern and I'll try harder."
Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, "It's odd though your coming in late. I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning so late and so often?"
The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled.
He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin, "They usually saluted and said, 'Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?'"
-
I've heard from the actor's agent and the offer is made. We'll see what happens next. The new vocal score is ready for the printer and I have two small fixes to tape into the full scores.

Druxy is closing in on an important posting milestone.

Tuesday morning greetings! It's a gloriously beautiful day in SW Ohio and I'm thinking about a walk outside. I did make it to the Y yesterday and had a nice workout on the treadmill and NuStep, so today's walk will be gentle.

Had a busy, but nice weekend and am now catching up with HHW posts...I see I missed some celebrations!

A belated happy birthday to DR Vixter who I met in person way back in 2004 when she was just a child...now she is all grown up! A lovely, sweet, kind, open minded, grown up! The kind the world needs more of!

I suppose I'm up - telephone call did that - covers ready for approval. I approved the hardcover, but the spine of the softcover looks weird to me and doesn't match the spine of the hardcover, so they'll look at that, fix, then I'll approve - that will happen in the next couple of hours then it's off to the printer for the test books.

Had a really interesting conversation with the fellow at Author House who was the guy I dealt with to make the deal on the new book - very nice fellow. He called to follow up on the Kritzer omnibus, and I told him that I wasn't sure I was going to be doing it because of what happened on the new book last week. He knew nothing about it and when I told him the story he told me I should have called him and he would have gone to war over this - I sent him all the correspondence that went on and he'll see that their content evaluation people were completely wrong about the book's original title and had no right to even bring it up. He's going to the top over it so that he can guarantee me that nothing like that will ever happen if we continue.
-
TCB - Are you completely recovered? Vibes to you.

And the word of the day is: HELLION!
And The Song Of The Day Is: NAUGHTY

Good news from Author House....it's always good to have someone in your corner.
-
LOL very funny DR DRUXY.
Does Carole Lombard have any relatives still around in Fort Wayne? Do you expect them to attend your play? That would be fantastic!!!
-
Bought a new suit today. I'd been thinking of getting something light for the summer (assuming there will be a summer) and without specifically intended to buy one today happened to come across one I liked. Having got into a buying mood I then bought some trousers - or pants as I believe they're called on your side of the Atlantic.
-
Tried to get a bit more sleep but the phone has not stopped ringing. Shall now go jog, then have a little food. Covers are approved and book is off to the printer. Test copies in a week, books a couple of weeks later!

I went on a shopping spree as well DR DOUG R.....must be something in the air.

I shopped today, too! I've been wanting to order some capri's from Lands End and today received an email offering 40% off and free shipping - an offer I could not refuse.
-
Good
morn afternoon, all.
Whatever happened to my last morning of April??
Well, I had to get up at 6:00 AM to play a show. The audience consisted of -- I'd say 200 at most -- no, not even that -- elementary school kids. But what surprises me at these things is that those kids sit there and shut up and pay attention and always seem to love it.
-
I just paid my property taxes on-online. They were less than last year's...since I'm not planning on moving EVER, I don't care. :)
-
I keep putting it off but I'm going to have to clean out the pond soon. My goldfish are swimming about in very green water.
-
Late yesterday afternoon, right out of the blue, I started battling an oncoming sore throat. Felt fairly miserable all night, but stayed warm and bundled up and got some halfway decent sleep. I figured I was going to feel like crap all morning, but for the most part all was well. I seem to be fighting this off, so far. Definitely tired from the inevitable short night of sleep, though, so I'm going to lie down for a li'l nap.
-
I am home from Toyland. I waited on an email that never arrived, and I'll deal with it tomorrow.
I have to go out tonight to THE SONG OF NORWAY at Carnegie Hall. I hope it's not dreadful.
-
A thought for the day...

Lovely weather in these parts....and our planted grass is coming up nicely in the drought-ridden parts of the lawn....
-
Work-from-home day and I'm taking a break.
In a way, I wish I were in the office. The boss two levels up turned in his resignation yesterday to go work for an unnamed company in San Diego. It would be interesting to see the office reaction. I'm sure there's a pall of uncertainty cast over the office.

It's great now, up in the low 80s, but it's supposed to get down into the 40s tonight or tomorrow morning.

So, was Bette Midler robbed? The NYT wrote a love poem to her, called the best thing on the boards these days and no Tony nomination.

Haven 't seen it and I most likely won't. I would like to see it but the cheapest ticket is $80 f*****g dollars (for the last rows of the balcony at the Booth Theatre) and the cheapest Playbill discount is $100. I will not buy into this bullshit. As much as I would like to see the show I refuse to pay those prices.

STAY WELL VIBES FOR DR CHAS!!!!

For me, if I could have any collectible right now I'd want a Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post cover painting.
Several years ago my dad was visiting here and we went for a long, aimless drive up north into Massachusetts (I think it was fall and we were taking in the amazing colors), and when we saw signs for the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, we decided what the heck. It's totally worth it, especially to see some of those original paintings. Many are quite large, and their impact, right there in the flesh, is astounding.

STAY WELL VIBES FOR DR CHAS!!!!
Seriously!! And thanks, DR Jane!!!
The very last thing I need this week is a cold. Well, I guess we say that whenever we feel one coming on, but...but...this time I really mean it! :)
-
Trousers!
I guess I grew up hearing it all the time. Don't know if I ever have occasion to say it myself these days, but it's a good word. A fine word.
It might still have more common use in clothing stores than anywhere, I'm thinking. But I don't know.
-
I saw the touring Norman Rockwell show in Atlanta about eight years ago. It was great. Many of the works from Stockbridge and well curated and laid out, so you could see his progression.

We went to the Rockwell museum in Stockbridge. It was great seeing his original work.

DR DRUXY sometimes when people read about Carole's passing in January, 1942, they think it was in the middle of the war - but actually it was only FIVE WEEKS after Pearl Harbor!
Ft. Wayne is full of Peters families....and you know she had two brothers, so there may be some great nieces or nephews running around town....
-
Well I found some just brought over from Target brand new Gibson Fine China in a very nice color.....six dinner plates, six salad plates, and six mugs and got them all for $13 with an additional 10% off with my Goodwill Rewards card. And I got two bar stools, very nice ones for $9 each for my sister....again 10% off.
Then I pushed my cart around the corner and there was a Vizio 22" flat screen HD TV......I put it in my cart drove it to the end of the aisle and plugged it in....came right up. No remote....but i came home and plugged in my mother's Comcast Box, fixed the Comcast remote to work the Vizio, did a channel scan....and now she has HDTV.....$40 less the 10% discount....
-
DR TCB are the Azores enjoying your visit?

There were a couple of clips of Ms Midler's Broadway triumph that looked pretty grim and.....well....it might be a long night.....like when someone memorizes a poem and tries to repeat it as quickly as possible so it won't be forgotten....

There are no details in that description. What occupied your time?
Well, took my 5 year old nephew to see the CROODS. Then he chose, instead of going for ice cream (!), to have me take him to Best Buy so that he could look at all of the electronical games.
The remainder of the weekend was full of chores and watching a few movies and working on some projects.

TOD:
I have thought all day, but come up with nothing. There are certainly a lot of collectables that I would enjoy having, but nothing that tops them all. At least not that I can think of, just now.
-
TOD - At our stage of life, Richard and I need to start getting rid of collectibles instead of acquiring more...
-
Speaking of collectibles, does anyone remember watching the tv show PERSONAL FX which played on the FX Channel back in the mid 90s....I was so addicted to this program! It was live and you could bid on collectibles that were brought in for "experts" to appraise and they would have special guest show would show their collections.
Here is a clip from the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H0IERMkC8g

TOD - At our stage of life, Richard and I need to start getting rid of collectibles instead of acquiring more...
Unfortunately this is also the case with me.....but as my earlier post proves.....it doesn't stop me from buying. I think MR BK's collectible choice is a fine investment.....
What would interest me most, I think, is getting a true and fair $$ estimate on the junk....I mean....rare items....that I already have.

I do not remember that show DR MBARNUM......but then I don't remember a lot of the 90's.

DR Ginny I finished section two of BEST FRIENDS. I liked the first section but am kind of tired of these people at this point.
I'm off to read so I can finish this book sooner than later.
-
DR Jane, Martha Moody's first 3 books are very character-oriented and, yes, they can become quite tiresome. I'm looking forward to reading the newest one, which sounds like it might have some actual plot.

Concentrating without interruptions helped. Before I knew it I had read 117 pages. :)

Ft. Wayne is full of Peters families....and you know she had two brothers, so there may be some great nieces or nephews running around town....
Carole was killed about a little over a month before my first birthday.
In fact, the premiere performance of LOMBARD was on the 50th anniversary of her death in Burbank, CA.
I know that both of the brothers came to Los Angeles with her and, as far as I know, stayed there.
However, perhaps some other Peters relatives will show up the weekend I'm going to be there and introduce themselves.

I think I paid $125 for Donny Osmond tickets. I didn't even ask the price. I just charged it. There are some benefits to being old -- like credit.

I should be all over this TOD, but I've been thinking about it all day, too, and haven't come up with a single desert-island type answer.
It's even hard to pin down a category.

any particular one?

He'll be wonderful! I love Chris.

Back from a lovely evening. Good night!

So, was Bette Midler robbed? The NYT wrote a love poem to her, called the best thing on the boards these days and no Tony nomination.
Haven 't seen it and I most likely won't. I would like to see it but the cheapest ticket is $80 f*****g dollars (for the last rows of the balcony at the Booth Theatre) and the cheapest Playbill discount is $100. I will not buy into this bullshit. As much as I would like to see the show I refuse to pay those prices.
That's what you have to pay here for the upcoming Barry Manilow concert. Couldn't believe it as I charged it to my credit card
I think I paid $125 for Donny Osmond tickets. I didn't even ask the price. I just charged it. There are some benefits to being old -- like credit.

Callie has been limping for the past couple days. I called the vet today but couldn't get her in until tomorrow. It was a lot worse when I got home, but she was running around and it didn't seem to bother her too much until a couple hours ago. She looked at the stairs like she wanted to go up, so I carried her up and watched tv upstairs with her for awhile. She didn't like the thunder, but other than that she seems to be resting well. I'm a bit concerned but I'm taking her in at 9:30 in the morning so I'll know more then

Vibes for Callie.

Well, I am off. My cousin is up again for a follow-up job interview! They came up a couple of weeks ago for his first interview. They're staying at my sister's, so that's where I'm going.
Until later!
GOOD VIBES TO YOUR COUSIN!!!!
Thanks, Jane! I don't know when/if he'll hear anything. I don't know if he knows. :-\

Went out to greet the Veuve Cliquot airstream that's driving through town and dispensing all kinds of Champagne. It's a label I think I like a little too much.
After that and some shared plates -- lamb kebabs, a rib-eye burger, house-made chips, shrimp with undercooked green beans and pork belly -- went to one of those handcrafted cocktail bars. Turns out I know the owner, who remembered me before I remembered him. Made me a couple of fine gin cocktails. And I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
-
So, good night, all.
-
Thanks for the vibes. I'm a bit concerned about it. It doesnt' seem to be a paw and it got worse as the night went on. Glad she was sleeping and that I got into the vet tomorrow am

Saw this performance by the musical and drama students - BFA and MFA - tonight. They do this for agents and casting directors, but I'm suspecting the majority of the audience were classmates, family, and friends. I'm sure a few agents sent their PAs or interns down for some free food. The only person I knew was Karen Morrow, who spent a day doing one of her workshops with them.

I just watched "Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited: The Fourth Doctor: Tom Baker," on BBC America. They're doing a half hour retrospective/clip show about all 11 Doctors (one a month) and they're up to number four, now. I haven't watched much of "Doctor Who" before the reboot in 2005...just clips over the years. It's fun learning about them and how the show and the Doctor have changed over the last 50 years.
-
After the retrospective, they shown a four-part episode featuring that specific Doctor. The only thing I really don't like about this is that the episodes, which were, of course, filmed/videotaped in TV's 4:3 ratio, are stretched to fit widescreen TVs!! WTH?? It's all distorted and looks wrong. :P Why didn't they have black bars on the side so that it looks normal??
-
Otherwise, I enjoyed it. I also just found out that these shows are going to be released on DVD (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C6QXFIU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) (to be released on July 16, 2013)...I can only hope that the actual episodes on the DVDs are NOT stretched out.

And now, I must go to bed...just because. 8)
