DR GINNY - when you visited we still had Kachina, who passed away later that same month, on Christmas Eve....Merlin joined us a few days later.
I need to go back to school. I was working on the slide show for the lobby for THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, and I had 25 slides and 24 transitions....20 seconds total for each slide/transition combo.....and for some reason I thought that added up to 17 minutes of music....so when I looked at it, the last slide ran for about 10 minutes....
Had to go back and take some - or rather - a LOT of the music out....
I would have had my mouth washed out with soapAnd THAT'S what comes from men and women dancing!
I am always getting "Li'l Abner" confused with "Li'l Wayne"...
Larry - Was it really by a 4-year-old? Or was it pretend?
Nice pictures, DR Doug R! Was it a good trip?

Thanks! Yes, Dad was the first lawyer in the family, then me, then my brother. He owned a clothing store and did some other things before law school
DR cillaliz, I don't know if you've seen the site or not:

Unfortunately she'll never be able to give Callie her meds. She says to wait until she gets her arm to see, but I know she won't be able to do it. Callie makes it too difficult. So in the future I'll board Callie and have her feed Ricky and Boo when I'm out of town

we drove straight through to Kissimmee, FL last Friday - took nearly 24 hours - the first 3 hours we only made 98 miles due to road construction ... the trip home was about 18 hours which is a more typical time frame it would have been a little less if I did not take a wrong turn and detour us through Philadelphia
RE: Today's song - love it, and love the rendition.
DR Laura - glad that you found a bug.
DRs elmore3003 and Doug R - thanks for the great photos!
DR Jennifer - you do know that you can adjust the font size on the Kindle, right? That was one of the main selling points, for me.
That was nice of you, Jane, to let her have that lane.
A few pictures of Bucharest:

Had a lovely visit yesterday at Rob and Mary Linda's new apartment, which is only about half an hour from us (yes, DR Jane, we're very lucky!). They were getting ready to paint the living/dining room and I put shelf liner in as many kitchen cupboards as I could until we ran out of material. ML is going to buy more and I'll finish on Wednesday while Rob uses my hatchback to transport some boxes.
A film producer/director acquaintance of E&T DR Julie and mine just posted on Facebook a dialogue written by a "four year-old writer" for his creations to do in a Superman scenario. If I, at four years of age, had written something with so many f-bombs, I would have had my mouth washed out with soap and would most likely still be confined to my room!

When Ricky and Lucy showed slides of Little Ricky, the slides went on so long that Fred and Ethel walked out. So on that basis, if no one walked out, it's likely nothing to worry about.
Sorry to have been scarce yesterday, but it was a travel day. We are now vacationing at the beach in sunny south New Jersey - and it is glorious. I'll try to post photos later in the week. This is a delightful and much-needed respite, plus a chance to spend time with family. A summer tradition for almost 40 years now.

She is the most amazing person I know. No matter what she's been through, she is happy smiling and upbeat. She really inspires me
I'm up, I'm up - this happens every time we do a show - I cannot fall asleep the night before and thus it was last night - I think I finally fell asleep a little after four and slept straight through to eleven so maybe that's six and a half hours tops - not enough, but hopefully I'll be fine by show time both vocally and in terms of being peppy.

I don't remember anything this charming except for inside the Marriott Hotel, our refuge from the rain that was flooding the streets and all the poor street dogs everywhere we went.

And they are lucky to have you close by to help them :)
Thanks for the comments about the articles. While I know the article about Sharon is scary, she has never been down about it. We talked for 2 1/2 hours Friday night and she is so upbeat, funny and happy to be alive that you can't help but be inspired by her
I don't know if you remember me posting photos of Annalene's baby Harry last year when everyne on the recording fell in love with him. He's now nearly two, just home from hospital, and looking great. He won't be coming to Dublin this year.
And here's my lovely leading lady with her daughter Rose.

That's the historic center which is full of restaurants, cafes and bars. I had read about stray dogs but saw none at all. I think the authorities must have removed them all!

Well, her much-younger parents are coming next weekend to help with the heavy lifting.
Can you tell I am still traumatized over the animals from our stay in Romania-lol I truly am haunted by a few dogs we did our best to help but it was nowhere near enough.

I remember when everyone fell in love with Harry. He is a cutie. Should I remember why he was in the hospital?

As an animal lover, I can certainly understand Jane and I'm glad that you and the organisation you helped set up were at least able to be of some help.

No, because I never mentioned that he was in hospital. I knew he was hospitalized but I couldn't get Annalene to tell me what was going on. She and Simon had other priorities than my questions so I didn't say anything. I am so happy he's okay.

I thought you meant on your kindle. I was surprised the print problems would be with a current book as mine have been with older books.
I have noticed more and more the print in books is smaller, or even worse in a very light print.
Well, I need to go to Costco and have one of my printer ink cartridges refilled. It's only $10. That's less than half of what a new one costs. Then, I'm off to my sister's house for homemade blueberry muffins. They sound delish!
Be back later!

I want a muffin!
Off to dinner with Lidia Bastianich. Too bad I'm still not on my best as far as food goes. I'll probably be done after the first course.

It was funny. They didn't know when the article was being published...or at least Dad didn't remember if he knew at one time. So I was walking down the street and there in the newspaper machine was a photo of Dad and David looking out at me. It was the last paper, so we had to find another machine to get a copy for my sister and then I think we got another extra one. It was a fun coincidence that it was published the day the whole family was in town
We were sitting outside and it would have been a perfect summer evening except for the smoke. At least it is still better than it had been.

I just read that region 2 DVDs can be played on a computer. It's the first I've heard of that. I thought they could ONLY be played on a multi-region player for those of us in the US or Canada. DR Doug, of course, can play them. Is this true? Has anyone tried it?
A week ago I mentioned that the French TV channel TV5, which is available in the UK, showed THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. Today they showed Jacques Demy's later follow-up all-singing film UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE which I'd never seen before. The film was poorly received and wasn't widely distributed but what a great shame because, having just seen it, I thought it was really superb. Like, UMBRELLAS, it features an all-consuming love affair but is set against a workers' industrial dispute and is wholly more dramatic as well as a more operatic film and also a much bolder one. The beautiful Dominique Sanda (sung by Florence Davis) gives a particularly good performance. Next Sunday the channel is showing Demy's LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT which I've never seen either.
Back from a wonderful show - everyone was great and almost no lyric fumfers - literally just a couple in one song, and I kind of got tripped up on one lyric in Ya Got Trouble - really minor, though and I don't think anyone noticed much - just went to the wrong word but got right back on track.

A computer DVD is set up to play either region 1 or 2 discs. If the wrong region disc is inserted a notice will pop up on the computer screen asking if you wish to change the region setting. You can change the region but it only allows you to change the region a few times after which the drive will be permanently set for that region.
However there are software programs which will enable a computer to play any region. I use AnyDVD which works perfectly.

I hadn't realised when I wrote that, that the soundtrack of UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE was one of the earliest Kritzerland releases.
