Well, you've read the notes, the notes lost an hour of sleep, and now it is time for you to post until the sleepless cows come home.

I forgot to answer yesterday's T.O.D.


I love NORTH BY NORTHWEST and VERTIGO and PSYCHO; but my very favorite Hitchcock film is SABOTEUR with Robert (Bob) Cumminings and Norman Lloyd.  I have seen that film, at least, ten times.

A few Bunbury cast members are in a show at Olympia Family Theater that has a performance today at 10:30 (I think), so most of them left early, but the rest of us partied on.  When I left, there were three non-residents (they have a couple of friends renting rooms who were there) remaining.  I'm home and need to get to sleep.  Our call time is 1:00 p.m.

Until later!

I had a dream that DR vixmom and I were at the Metropolitan Opera to see La Perichole, directed by Cyril Ritchard. Before the last act began, the Met had scenes from upcoming operas.  The ladfy singing "My Man's Gone Now" from Porgy and Bess had such ac small voice we couldn't hear her at all.

I also had a long dream in which my friend Thom Heinrichs, an AIDS casualty, and I went Christmas shopping in downtown Middletown, OH, after a terrible rehearsal for a Gershwin recording.  There were children, large dogs, and a few large aquatic creatures cavorting in a lake on the grounds of the Sorg Mansion.  The person for whom I was shopping was Jim Ashworth, my manager at Office Outfitters, where I worked from 1973-1977.

DR Elmore's dreams have been particularly prolific of late. There was one (I think yesterday) that would surely have short-circuited the Dream-O-Matic 6000. Mine run in spurts, and I had a short run of good ones a couple of weeks ago. They've been quite vague over the past week or so.

Morning, everyone.  How do you all get into HHW and/or know BK?

DR Jan I met Bruce in high school when I was 15.  I knew who he was because my father ate at his father's restaurant at least once a week.  My father was a doctor.  I might have been around 10 the first time my father took me to work with him.  I would count pills into packages for patients and sometimes watch minor proceedures and do other little odd jobs.  We always walked down the street for lunch where Bruce's father was very nice to me.

I had one more last night.  While Annabelle and I were riding the elevator on patrol I looked down at my shoes and remembered it because part of the dream was about polishing my shoes.  In the dream I had agreed to come to Troy, NY and cook for my Italian friends an Italian dinner.  Part of the dream dealt with getting to Troy and reading a road map.

Because of the time change, the Dream-O-Matic 6000 is on the blink, but I am sure DR ELMORE's recent dreams are caused by the pesky Mars-Uranus conjunction that is making us all a bit off center.

I had one of those dream-trigger occurrences a few days ago. The TV was on and somebody said something about milk. WHAMMO! That instantly brought back a dream I'd had that morning in which I was sitting at a table with someone, I was eating cereal, and I was telling the other person (whoever it was) how delicious the milk in cereal could be. Mind you, I hadn't thought about cereal, or milk, or anything related, in months or years. But there it was. I had the dream, it disappeared upon my waking up, and someone on the TV says the secret word. I'm always amazed at that.

DR jan, I had enjoyed BK's postings on Home Theater Forum, and I eventually figured out that I should come here.

As a side note, I'd lived in L.A. (Hollywood, Beverly Hills, West L.A., Redondo Beach) during much of my twenties and thirties, and it amazes me to think how close I must have come to crossing paths with BK then, at movie openings and such.

And as a side note to that side note, after I'd been here for some time, DR Jane and I discovered we'd both been at Heifetz's last public appearance in the early 1970s.

Yesterday I went to the Barns at Wolf Trap---https://www.wolftrap.org/about/venues/barns.aspx

I saw Laura Benanti.  Her mother, Linda Benanti, was supposed to perform with her, but has the flu.  Laura was very funny and sang wonderfully.  She sang a medley from My Fair Lady, in which she's currently starring on Broadway.  Her piano player ( I can't find his name--it's not in the program) was really great.  Laura took a short break and he performed.  He said he likes to combine songs from musicians of different genres, so he chose Dolly Parton and Bach.  He sang "Jolene," along with a little classical thrown in.   He has a very nice voice and was funny too.

Looking for a work number for former DR Penny (I had given her Bruce's home number) I found this site, and on the day he mentioned former DR Susan Gordon.  I probably would not have posted if he hadn't mentioned her.  So, one friend since elementary school combined with two high school friends found me posting here.  I believe it was only the 3rd day of HHW.

Our former DRs were here because of me, and of course Bruce.

One family bought the $75 VIP tickets and completely ignored the house rules, which is that each person has to have a ticket. Fire marshall's rules. But they thought that didn't include their 9-month-old infant in a stroller about the size of a Sunday house, even though every item of advance publicity said otherwise and many other also bought tickets for their infant. I thought the father was going to blow a gasket when I told him the rules. He wasn't going to spent $54 for another ticket, so he left his wife and kids. Probably went out and had a beer or two before collecting his family.

I just finished the first half of the 1990s BBC adaptation of Thackeray's Vanity Fair.  Three hours to go.  When I was a grad student, I was hospitalized in the student health center for a week with the flu. Vanity Fair was the novel I took with me.   I'd like to reread it.

The one time I saw the ALW version of The Phantom of the Opera live, Patty and I drove up to Vancouver, BC and saw it there!  I think she got tickets and either my mom didn't want to go, or she knew that I loved musicals and offered me the ticket.  I really can't remember how it happened.

After leaving my parents' house, I stopped at a new (chain) restaurant in Lacey called Del Taco (https://www.deltaco.com/).  I'd never heard of it before, so I went it.  It was very crowded (it just opened very recently), but the food wasn't too bad...nothing special, so far.  I'll probably check it out again, but it'll be a while because it's up in Lacey.

I ushered two performances of Paw Patrol Live today and should be lobotomized after that. People spending outrageous amounts of money for their 2-year-old to see a live performance of their favorite Nickelodeon show.
One family bought the $75 VIP tickets and completely ignored the house rules, which is that each person has to have a ticket. Fire marshall's rules. But they thought that didn't include their 9-month-old infant in a stroller about the size of a Sunday house, even though every item of advance publicity said otherwise and many other also bought tickets for their infant. I thought the father was going to blow a gasket when I told him the rules. He wasn't going to spent $54 for another ticket, so he left his wife and kids. Probably went out and had a beer or two before collecting his family.

John, maybe he did know about it, and that was his "plausible" way of getting out of not only seeing the show, but also paying for the extra ticket. ;)

About joining HHW, I was a fan of BK's when he was on the website that he started (and was ended by the bad stuff).  I don't remember exactly how I found HHW, but I started lurking and eventually joined in June of 2002.

I also found this, my very first post from July (not June) of 2002:

Hello All,

I know it's late in the evening (do I get a prize for being the last post of the evening?), but this is my very first posting on this website: I am a chronic lurker and parenthetical user (I'm getting professional help). I would like to put in my two cents about the male and female non-theatrical singers...for no other reason than just because. I have been in love with the five singers of The Manhattan Transfer. Tim Hauser, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel (my favorite of the bunch), Laurel Masse (original member, left the group in 1979) and Cheryl Bentyne (in the group since 1979). Individually they each have a wonderful sense of musicianship and style, but put them together and watch out! Incredible singing. That's my two cents.

The CDs that I've been listening to lately: Elaine Stritch At Liberty (love it - listened to it twice in one day) and Thoroughly Modern Millie (like it - twice in one week).

Well, until the next time.

PS. I would like to personally thank Mr. Kimmel (and/or Mr. Bakalor) for knowing how to correctly spell "a lot," (or for at least knowing how to use a spellchecker). A website with which Mr. Kimmel is no longer affiliated, no longer spells it correctly and even the incorrect spellings aren't consistent. I've seen "allot" and "alot" a lot.

Tom and George, do either of you have theater work coming up?  I'd like to see it on my trip if you do.

I have heard rumblings that some director was interested in casting me, but I haven’t heard any more about it.

Tom, do you know Rodman Bolek?  He plays Bunbury in Bunbury.  He's very good!
