Yes, we talked about doing Mexican and DR Elmore had a good place in mind. If that’s agreeable with everyone, I know I’ll be delighted with it. If not, I’m open to whatever. But are we doing this before or after?

Was vixmom the holdout on the Mexican? I would advise that a Mexican restaurant’s menu includes all the things you’ve ever enjoyed from the fast food ones, and more. It’s all just better prepared, as at any kind of restaurant.

I’ve also been hankering for a return to Brooklyn Diner, in case that rings anybody’s bell.

Hi, anyone who posts on All That Chat:

Someone asked just a little while ago:

Web Series about terrible musical ideas
Posted by: Cosmik 10:11 am EDT 07/01/18
Hive mind, help! There was a web series a few years ago in which someone was pitching the worst ideas ever for musicals - they included songs and everything. I remember watching it, but can't for the life of me remember what it was called or who was in it.
Help me remember? If anyone can, you can!



They must be talking about BK's series "Outside the Box, right?  Maybe someone can post the link for them, because I can't
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDzawV6B1vU



I also put this on castrecl.  "Cosmik"  has to be asking about BK's series, right?

With the new "On a Clear Day" off Broadway, there was this VERY exclusive interview by a Vassar student with the ghost of Alan Jay Lerner, nervously haunting the Vassar rehearsal of the 2010 iteration.

"What Did it Lack That It Has Now?" sung by the very nervous late Alan Jay Lerner, Vassar 2010 (I guess I was trying to channel Jack Jones)

It's been a wild time since last night. I went out dancing with Joy and a few friends. After we dropped off Joy, she discovered that her husband and her sister had gone to the ER because of problems from his surgery. I went back and took her to visit Peter. The scene was chaotic. The first blood test wasn't conclusive because the blood clotted. So, they did another test but somehow the blood never made it to the lab. What they could tell was that he has an infection, which means they're going to keep him overnight. So, I took Joy and her sister, who had gone to the ER with Peter, home at around midnight.

This morning I learned that they transferred Peter to the hospital where he had had the surgery. I'm going to take her there in a little bit.

DR Ginny, I look forward to next Saturday, too!

You and DH Richard especially need to stay cool while in the city. Not that you’re any more susceptible to the heat than anyone else, but you’ll be out and about, doing things.

Well, DR ChasSmith, I've changed into something I've never worn in NYC before - short pants.  They're pedal pusher length and I have some longer ones that Richart calls my Hobbit pants.  I won't wear them to the theatre or to church, but for daytime out & about, I have no qualms.

With the new "On a Clear Day" off Broadway, there was this VERY exclusive interview by a Vassar student with the ghost of Alan Jay Lerner, nervously haunting the Vassar rehearsal of the 2010 iteration.

"What Did it Lack That It Has Now?" sung by the very nervous late Alan Jay Lerner, Vassar 2010 (I guess I was trying to channel Jack Jones)

Very nice, FJL.

It is brutally hot here today too. Right now there is a humidex of 37C which is already crazy. I think that is 100F. What the heck? I am worried about people being outside of Canada Day as it is supposed to get much hotter.

DR Jennifer, you were close.  It's 98.6F. 

This will do it for you every time!

Choreographer Gillian Lynne has died at the age of 92.  I was never a fan of her work.
She was cited in Sir Ken Robinson's famous TED talk and his book, Element, as an example of someone who achieved success by following her passion. I was not a fan of her work on Cats and legend has it Michael Bennett did the better work on How Now Dow Jones.
