Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in a pickle (no mean feat), and now it is time for you to post until the in a pickle cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: REPLETION!
-
The Kritzerland show videos were super, bk. Thanks for sharing!
-
Also enjoyed the Vicky & Tom show last night. :)
-
And- Good morning, everyone!

Morning all.
That is all.

its coooooooooooooooooooooooooold!
-
5 degrees F here (that's -15 C, Jennifer) they say with the wind chill its about -14 (-25.556 C, Jennifer)
I know many DRs are having lower temperatures but at the moment I am contemplating a trip to stay with DR Laura ....until July
-
the news seems to completely consist of idiots standing on the train platforms interviewing commuters the question "What ado you think about the weather?" answer "Its cold"
ok once , tedious twice,,,,, its been about 10 so far..... any actual news?
-
oooh Dr Matthew may be interested to know that there is a AMTRACK train that has been stranded overnight because of freezing weather
-
well I better get my tail in gear...
-
Cute videos-- I look forward to more clips.
-
Bundle up, everybody!!!
-
just heard it is only 35 degrees (1.6667 C) in Orlando-- the Vixter will be most displeased
-
Good morning, all.
It's warm and comfy in the recliner -- and that's where I'm staying, by cracky.
-
By hook. Or by crook. With a Nook.

color me green
-
though probably it will be more of ablueish hue when I step outside shortly
-
someone remind me... why didn't i buy the remote start feature for my car?
-
the Vixter will be most displeased
;D
-
I will be glad when it warms up enough that I don't have to run all the taps 24/7.
I mean, it's nice to image that I have gurgling fountains throughout the house, but it also makes me want to pee constantly.
-
TMI?
-
At this rate, we'll be on to PAGE 2 in record time!
-

That wasn't around when I bought mine, but it'll be a required feature on my next one. By gum.
-
Morning, all! Thanks to everybody for their kind wishes yesterday.
Hope folks are staying warm. Had a 10-minute walk in to work today, and was taking inventory of my extremities when I got in. Fortunately, all were present and accounted for.
TOD: "Psycho" is the only one that comes to mind right now. We really need some daily topics that are more up my area of knowledge. Surely, everyone here wants to discuss late-19th/early 20th-century Jewish philosophy and sociology, right? :)
-
By hook. Or by crook. With a Nook.
During "Fugue for Tinhorns," have an audience plant stand up, point, and say: "Lookee! A bookee!"
-
Excellent videos. Would love to see more.
Contrast blowout is always a challenge, and the average Jane and Joe don't have a clue. Get that exposure compensation working. Lower it by a stop or whatever's necessary.
-
Good morning, all! The alarm rang at 6:30 but it was so cold in the apartment that I nodded and dozed until 8:00. I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Between that and the fact that I did not want to spend God know how much time sitting on a bench waiting for a bus in this weather made me cancel physical therapy. I'll go on Thursday when the forecast tells me it will be a warm 35 degrees F.
So, my day will be one of puttering about the apartment. I have to begin this choral arrangement for the Cincinnati Men'sChorus, and today seems as good as any to dive in.
-
Cincinnatuh! :)
-
A friend of mine on That Other Site just wrote and posted this:
This freakishly cold polar vortex
might be good for the sellers of Gore-Tex
but for me it's a pain
it's numbing my brain
and freezing my cerebral cortex.

The dog kept all four of his booties on during this morning's extended walk.
-
Well, it's a post. ;D

We are having -25C with windchill today too. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. And it is supposed to rain next weekend (how is that even possible?)
-
And the word of the day is: REPLETION!
And The Song Of The Day Is: FINISHING THE HAT
-
With the wind chill factor, it's -13degrees F in Manhattan! While I like to keep the apartment cool, it's freezing today.
-
Good morning, all.
It's 18 degrees here. Even the cat is cold. He's sitting in the sun, hoping the sun remembers what it's supposed to do.
-
Great songs, BK. Loved the lyrics to Annie.
The Andrews Sisters recorded a version of Fugue for Tinhorns. Got a copy for Christmas. The liner notes say it was one of the rare occasions when each of the singers had solo parts. They recorded several songs from the show over the years. This set has "Guys and Dolls" and "A Bushel and a Peck," too.

I just heard from Joshie. He's in Atlanta now, and hoping to be on a flight to JFK at 12:30.
I'm happy he's no longer stuck in Cancun.
-
I want (not need -- just want) to run a couple of errands, so just for comfort's sake I pulled the car out of the garage and am letting it run for ten minutes. Makes a HELL of nice difference when you get in. :)
But also, if I didn't do that, even after being parked in the garage, on a day like today the car would just be getting warm when I got to where I'm going which is ten minutes away. Then I'd go into the store and it would get cold again and, well, you get my drift.
-
I started my car and backed it out of the carport....and got stuck in the driveway.
-
I am scheduled for a rehearsal on Thursday, so hopefully things will improve by then. I have LOTS of material to read for the play - I feel as if I'm back in school.....oh my....
Currently it is -9 degrees with a real feel of -29 degrees.
AND I have to start reading....and finish learning my lines.
I enjoyed the videos very much!
-
I wish the Private Screenings with Robert Osborne had had a different host.....
-
Tuesday morning greetings! It's clear and sunny in SW Ohio but still cold, cold, cold. More undecking today, along with some gearing up for Saturday's AAUW meeting.
-
Back from a perfectly efficient errand. Found exactly what I wanted at the first store.
Ready now for a snack.
-
well, you get my drift.
You know I do! :)
-
Ready now for a snack.
A dill pickle, perhaps?

....and finish learning my lines.
If you can learn the Man in the Chair, you can learn anything! :P
-
well, you get my drift.
And how many feet of snow is that drift?
-
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I have to begin this choral arrangement for the Cincinnati Men'sChorus, and today seems as good as any to dive in.
DR Elmore, I sure hope this project necessitates a visit to Cincinnati!
PS - you were very wise to reschedule your appointment this morning.

Will we NEVER get to page 3?? ???

bk, thanks for posting the "annie" video, it was nice to be able to hear the song you've been talking about for a while. It's a great song! Congrats

Quite possibly......

DR Ginny, I didn't reschedule; I'm already booked for thursday.
I've been cleaning out detritus around the apartment. I dumped lot of battered, blank music paper in the garbage, and reorganized all of my playbills and souvenir programs. I've got to get some cartons organized for the Miami University Library and assemble the things I need to take to Encores! tomorrow. First, some lunch.
I just heard from Joshie, who is still in Atlanta, waiting on the flight to LaGuardia. I guess he's not flying back on Jet Blue.
-
And we're heading to . . .
-
Page 3!

Bingo!

Well, there is another version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oylIGhvXYiE), the one from BK's review, "What If?"
And about that BK, I have a question, (even though it's not tomorrow)...in "What If?", the singer sang that she was cast as Molly, but in the video in today's notes, she says Tessie. Did you change them because either singer actually played those respective roles or because the singers more likely would've been cast as those roles when they were younger?
Just curious.

Yes; that's what I call it here - in jest. No editorial implied.

Good news: Joshie has landed at LaGuardia!
I don't wish what's happening to all these travelers in this cold weather on my worst enemy. I'll see him tomorrow and get the full report.

Never anything hurtful - but maybe some really bad karma and the ability to not be able to do what they do for their livelihood for a few weeks.
(yes, I've thought this out, many many times)

I think I would wish that I would never have to deal with or hear about my worst enemy as long as I lived.

The mountain cedar allergy level is astronomical. And I went out in it for awhile today. I'm suffering now. Ugh. :(

Sorry, DR Jrand63, but I'm afraid Lady Macbeth ranks a few notches above you. :)

Got a lot more Christmas stuff packed up today and made plans to GO OUT tomorrow. After being in for 4 days, I'm more than ready!

DR Ginny's going to paint the town red!

While working I was listening to Joan Morris' AFTER THE BALL. How I wish I could sing like Joan!
DR Elmore, as soon as "On the Banks of the Wabash" began, I was dressed (in my mind) as Helen Gant ready to take my place for the Act One curtain!
-

You? You? My worst enemy? Never!
Damn! It is freezing in my apartment. I wonder if the radiator pipes are frozen?

I never think of that awful bitch. Now her, I wish her a painful slow death so I can visit her hospital bed and laugh. I hope I outlive Macbeth, too. That's the best revenge.

This chihuahua sculpture is made entirely of old recycled typewriter parts. (Not old hair brushes and kitty litter, though).

Poor Billie! In 1976, i had no possibilities for that role except her, and she was never as strong as I wished.

Hello from freezing NoVa (Northern Virginia). It's in the teens now. It could be worse. Haven't talked to DR Kate, but I heard that Buffalo may get up to 3 FEET of snow in the next couple of days.
-
Didn't do any writing before the noon rehearsal. Today's rehearsals went very well, and I chatted with our host, a really nice guy - have to now write a little patter for him. Then I had a Cobb salad and a bagel. Then came home and wrote about two-and-a-half pages, maybe three and will do three more later tonight, along with the patter.
-
Did anyone capture John G's milestone?
oh gosh I missed it! Happy 19000!

JRand, it's better here, still 17 degrees here at 8:13 pm and on the way to getting warmer. Hang in there folks, it will get better

Everyone here was laughing today because we were all saying how much warmer it was today and it was only in the teens

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/lily-tomlin-weds-longtime-partner-jane-wagner-article-1.1568794 (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/lily-tomlin-weds-longtime-partner-jane-wagner-article-1.1568794)
Nice! Lily Tomlin performed here in Olympia, and I ushered for the event. The house was full! Harlequin Productions, a local theater group, is going to next do The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (http://www.harlequinproductions.org/season/2014/search_for_signs.php). Lily didn't do this show when she was here, but it was a wonderful evening.
-
Lily spent a lot of time in Paducah, Ky., when she was younger, so she has a fondness for the state. When I was at the University of Kentucky back in the early 1980s, she spent a week doing workshops of various versions of "The Search ..." I saw four of those and each one was different from the others. It was wonderful watching Lily, Jane and their people work through the week.
Lily was really giving to the students in the theater program. Yes, she was there for feedback, but she attended classes, she listened to the students and asked questions that showed she was interested.

We covered all that in 2012.
-
I don't know why, but I'm still at work. I actually haven't been working for the last hour (I'm on my own time), just got distracted and was surfing the net. Don't worry...NOTHING inappropriate!
-
And now, I'm going home.
-
Just had to share. :)
-
Page four? Really?
-
I should think we'd best have a frenzy or three.
-
I've written about four pages, I think. I actually took the beginning three pages of chapter four and put them back in chapter three, so I actually have to start chapter four anew, hopefully tonight and hopefully I can get a couple more pages done.
-
There will be more videos.
-

-
Page 5? Barely?
-
Sorry, but I don't have another 27 posts in me tonight.
-
G'night!
-
I just don't know where everyone suddenly went. Tis a puzzlement.
-
I wrote more pages and am well into the new chapter four - I do believe I wrote almost nine pages today. I was not sure how to begin chapter four, so I immediately took a shower and it came to me instantly. I also got two other really good ideas for what's to follow. So, I should be able to finish chapter four in the next day or so and move directly to chapter five.
-
I'm going to be bitch-slapping everyone from here to eternity and hell and back.
-
Two days ago we got our benefit host. One hour ago we lost our benefit host because he got a guest shot on something called Big Bang something or other. Luckily I hadn't started writing his stuff, so that's one less thing for me to worry about, other than trying to figure out how to actually start the show - letting the audience know the conceit of it.
-
That's too bad, BK, about losing the host...I'd love to know who it was supposed to be.
-
Read the notes.
