From last night (just a few minutes ago):
What about your missing cast member?

Hannah, who we thought was supposed to read Friday, thought that she was supposed to read last night (Saturday), even though Debbie, the woman who was supposed to read last night (and who did read last night), said that she and Hannah spoke and each specified the days that each could perform.  Basically, Hannah had a brain fart.

Something I'm still surprised about (maybe a possible chat topic if anyone else cares):  There's a new practice of having vendors go up and down the aisles before a show and at intermission, with candy, wine, soda, and other concessions.  This seems to make it clear that it's fine with management to eat, drink and rattle wrappers during the show.   This didn't really disturb me at a show like "Beautiful" which while emotional in its intimate story is mostly funny and light in its style.  But all the M&M's, etc, seemed all wrong at FIDDLER, with lops of chomping and slurping going on during deeply felt, emotional moments.

In London, even as far back as 1990, they used to roam the aisles with ice cream, but ice cream was relatively quiet.  :)

Last night's concert was a mixed bag for me. The first half was passages from Parsifal, and it just sounded like a lot of goo. I'm not a big Wagner fan.

I did like a lot of the Tschaikovsky Pathetique, but even then, parts of the third movement sounded more mechanical than it should have.

Yes, we're planning a turkey pie and the green Jello pineapple cottage cheese surprise that Richard likes so much for our quiet Thursday.  Fortunately, one of the arts organizations in town is having a fundraiser at the Spinning Fork on Tuesday.  Spaghetti and meatballs will be a nice respite from turkey leftovers.

Now here's what I do hate: inefficient store management.  I just returned from Staples.  I had gone there to scan something for BK.  the print dept. is packed, and one young African-American man is working his butt off, and there are no other clerks.  when he finally got to me, I said, you need more help.  He said that the other worker sche3duled wasn't coming in until noon.  This is crap service for a chain like Staples.

So, I got my scan and typed my email address for it to be sent.  I'm strill waiting for it to show up, and I am not happy about the delay.  I called Staples and got a vague answer like give it an hour. Color me pissed.

BK, the song in D has been emailed to you!

I called Staples, thinking they could email it, but the jerk I spoke to told me I had to come into the store, so I walked back down, thanked the nice young man and told him I knew he was having a bad hour with too many customers, they resent it, and I've emailed it BK.

Something I'm still surprised about (maybe a possible chat topic if anyone else cares):  There's a new practice of having vendors go up and down the aisles before a show and at intermission, with candy, wine, soda, and other concessions.  This seems to make it clear that it's fine with management to eat, drink and rattle wrappers during the show.   This didn't really disturb me at a show like "Beautiful" which while emotional in its intimate story is mostly funny and light in its style.  But all the M&M's, etc, seemed all wrong at FIDDLER, with lops of chomping and slurping going on during deeply felt, emotional moments.

Fingers crossed that we will have very little snow tomorrow.  Tomorrow is our first forecast for snow. Originally it was supposed to be 5 cms (1 inch = 2.5 cm).  Then it was supposed to be 10-15 cms.   Now it is back down to 2-4 cms.

I really do not want to see snow at all. i don't even know where my boots are.  How could it be 50s yesterday and now a snowstorm tomorrow?? I am not happy. Snow please stay away at least until December.

I remember years ago, one of my coworkers was having her whole family from both sides at her house for Thanksgiving.  They got a 39 pound turkey!  It took 13, count 'em, 13 hours to cook!  She said that it was so big, there was only about an inch of room on each side of the bird in her oven.

DITTO.  It's a shameless dumbing down of the theatre.

Yes!  This is a terrible thing to allow in theaters! :P

Sunday morning greetings!  Richard and I just put a 17.5 pound turkey in the oven.  Our Thanksgiving feast will be at 2pm so that Paramedic Rob can be at work at 4.

I remember years ago, one of my coworkers was having her whole family from both sides at her house for Thanksgiving.  They got a 39 pound turkey!  It took 13, count 'em, 13 hours to cook!  She said that it was so big, there was only about an inch of room on each side of the bird in her oven.

Wouldn't life be easier baking two turkeys around 20 lbs each?

Several years ago we had 2 turkeys - we cooked one and Rob and Mary Linda cooked the other with gluten-free stuffing.

Probably, but I think they that they raised the bird specifically for that Thanksgiving, so they didn't have to buy it.

Back from another lovely session, then dinner.  Once again, we wrapped two hours early, saving Kay four hours of studio time.  I think it's going to be a really good album.  After we all went to Lenny's Deli (formerly Junior's) - I had kishka and a chicken wrap - both very good.  And I was able to get back to the Valley in time to pick up my little speaker stands that tilt the speakers up slightly so that the tweeters are at ear level - much better.  The traffic coming home was ridiculous and pointless on a Sunday at ten after four.  We did have us a little bit of rain but really barely a drizzle while I was on the freeway.  But nice to see some rain here and maybe we'll have a reasonable amount for a few hours or, better yet, a day or two.

DR elmore, this is what DR Jeanne had to say about anrica.  I don't recommend the Arnicare Cream by Boiron.  If it made a difference I haven't noticed. 

The Arnica Rub is my favorite of the Arnica topicals, since it has lots of other remedies in it as well. About a week ago I started a little trial of Topricin, a homeopathic cream for arthritis. I'm using it on my two arthritic fingers. It's helping. If you don't get results with Arnica, you may want to try Topricin. I've seen in on Amazon. It's very easy to use--no smell, absorbs easily, etc.

Life Extension has a wonderful supplement for arthritis, the Fast-Acting Joint Formula. It contains a high dose of hyaluronic acid and it really is fast-acting. A bit pricey, but very effective.

the Arnica Rub I like is by NatraBio. I see there is also one by A.Vogel, but that one is straight Arnica, the herb. The NatraBio product is a homeopathic combination product.

My cousin swears by Australian Dream for arthritis. I haven't tried it, but it has good reviews. She also uses Arnica for EVERYTHING, except when she's using Australian Dream.

I guess sciatica is what I'm suffering right now, still from the other night.  It got better, then I did a bunch of stuff yesterday and this morning it was awful again.

So, I wonder how the knee brace helps with it.  Seems like what you'd need is an ASS brace.

Well, let's not go there.

Something I'm still surprised about (maybe a possible chat topic if anyone else cares):  There's a new practice of having vendors go up and down the aisles before a show and at intermission, with candy, wine, soda, and other concessions.  This seems to make it clear that it's fine with management to eat, drink and rattle wrappers during the show.   This didn't really disturb me at a show like "Beautiful" which while emotional in its intimate story is mostly funny and light in its style.  But all the M&M's, etc, seemed all wrong at FIDDLER, with lops of chomping and slurping going on during deeply felt, emotional moments.

Must say that these tilted speaker stands make an amazing difference - sound is now open and airy and any trace of muddiness is gone and the bass is much tighter and better because they're not sitting on the table - the stands have an open space beneath where the speaker sits and the bottom of the stand - very clever, although they really ought to come with the speakers.

LOL.   Then you can put a straw in there.  I would not want to drink an alcoholic beverage out of it.

Well, a regular sized straw won't fit through the holes in the lids that we have, but then we don't keep regular sized straws.  We just have the straws that are stir sticks.

And for those who love to drink during a show, they finally get to...and they have been.  The cost is $4 per cup, plus the regular cost of whatever drink you want.  But when you bring it back, you get a dollar off any refill.  You can even take it home and bring it back to another performance.  After four refills, you've paid for it, and you save a dollar on every drink for as long as you own the cup!

Yup.  So we rehearse Monday through Wednesday, then we're off until Sunday, then rehearsals again every day until the end of our first weekend.  We open on Friday, December 2nd.

Listening to an amusing piece of kitsch called The Genesis Suite - some interesting composers were recruited to write the music, some of which plays under stentorian narration of the story of Genesis.  But the composers are really interesting and their music is interesting, too - very film music like - the composers are Schoenberg, the guy whose idea it was and who wrote the narration and one piece of music, Nathaniel Shilkret, Alexandre Tansman, Darius Milhaud, Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco, Igor Stravinsky, and Ernst Toch.  Quite a list - apparently they were all hard up for money and they took this assignment.  The only recording ever done of it, I think, was the Capitol record in the very early 1950s.  The CD transfer is from a record and at the time it was done they didn't have the tools they do today - today it would sound pristine.
