Happy anniversary to Ginny and Richard!!!

Have fun on Broadway DR VIXMOM!!!!
DR LAURA.....the sign for the "F" word and the sign for "Football" are very similar, so some hearing people get their teams mixed up when signing, much to the amusement of deaf people.....
She was probably using ASL - American Sign Language - instead of SE - Signed English.
ASL has its own vocabulary and syntax. It was created by the Deaf community so that they could converse without the hearing world being able to easily eavesdrop on their conversations.
Every time I hear or read about the FOX live broadcast of GREASE, I think about what DR FJL wrote a few weeks ago about the show:
Ancient Grease!
HA!

I loved the irreverent, raunchy, vulgar, original off-Broadway productio of Grease before the film tamed it, laundered it, sanitized it, and destroyed it. It was a bawdy reversal of the popular teen movies in which the bad boy reforms and a paean to the high school greasers and losers of shop class and beauty school that the upwardly mobile students looked down on. If I thought Fox were doing the original, I might be very happy, but I intensely dislike the current high school version with dumbed down, sanitized lyrics and the movie songs.
I believe Fox is doing the movie version of the show. Pity.

Which version does the published vocal score represent?
When my friend Beth directed GREASE last fall, she was asked by the company if she wanted the "stage" version or the "high school" version - which is more like the movie version even MORE cleaned up.....
So I would guess there are different scores available for whichever version you want to do.
I hope MR BK has a full dress rehearsal report.....there is to be some "audience participation"......
It's kind of a battle ground DR JANE. A lot of hearing people have also learned ASL, and it is taught now instead of SE....but most people, deaf and hearing, use a combination of the two.
I learned SE and have only learned a bit of ASL, since I no longer work with deaf people everyday....but it is seen as archaic....
DR LAURA there are many good books for learning ASL.....using them in combination with some YouTube videos can give you a good base. ASL uses facial expressions and STRONG hand and finger movements and has its own syntax usually putting the verb or adjective/adverb before the sentence subject: i.e. "Go....I...." as opposed to "I go...."
Happy Happily Ever After, Ginny and Fr. Richard!
Happy Anniversary to DR GINNY and Father RICHARD
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Anniversary, DR Ginny & Richard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seems we're about to get another of those half-inch snowfalls. This time it's approaching from the south, and NYC is getting it first.
Probably ASL DR JANE, especially if you remember the boys using facial expressions at all.....
DR Ginny and Richard,

My daughter's plans for the day include several hours in the bathtub reading her Kindle -- her favorite way to spend a day off.
We are home from Rob and Mary Linda's church and a lovely anniversary lunch at Bravo Italian Cucina. Richard and I are now spending a romantic afternoon watching football and taking down our Christmas tree.
DR TCB, I'm sorry about the Seahawks. If they'd had one more quarter I think they could have pulled it out.

I would be too afraid that it would fall in the water!
Sunday morning greetings! So, what did Richard and I do 35 years ago today?
Not only are they doing the movie version, there's at least one new song by the guys who wrote Next to Normal. Barry Pearl and Didi Conn are making cameo appearances. If you've seen the photos you know they're copying the movie. I'm attending a dress rehearsal.
It is seven degrees here with a wind chill of minus 14........
There were a few snow flurries here today.

I have read books in the bath, but no way is my Nook going in there. ;D
George, do you have to work tomorrow?
George, do you have to work tomorrow?
Nope. We get the day off. :)
I've decided to go see today's matinee of "Arcadia" at Lakewood Playhouse.
Good, I have been hearing great things.
Jed and company are getting really powerful reviews.
Thoughts for DR TCB that he has a better day today....have a great rehearsal.
I enjoyed seeing ARCADIA last fall, but it everybody doesn't talk fast, it could be a very long show....I would think.

It's in the 40s and I feel as if it were about the same here. But I'm cold when it gets below 70.

I would never read my Kindle when bathing...mainly because I only take showers.

The Lakewood Playhouse production of "Arcadia" by Tom Stoppard starring DR Jed was very good. I didn't realize that Jed was actually one of the leads. He was great! I thoroughly enjoyed the show.
This afternoon we saw THE BIG SHORT. I had thought Bale was nominated for best actor and realize now it was for supporting.Loved that movie
I thought Steve Carrel was excellent.

I'm the same way John though chilly but sunny is ok if I wear enough layers.
Jose walked me back to my cart park and snapped a quick picture which is now posted on FB. I can't figure out how to move it here but I suspect George has the tech skills for the job.
Had a great afternoon. Not going to go into details, but it was a great town hall, I got a little tired of sitting for three hours, but other than that it was very interesting
Thank you George, now can you airbrush it to remove 20 or so years and fix my hair?
;)

You're welcome! But sadly, I can't help you with the youngerizing.

Are you implying that she needs to do something to make herself look younger?
