Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both an ordeal and had a happy ending, and now it is time for you to post until the happy ending cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PUCKISH!
-
First post after BK.

I have no vested interested in this, but if anyone is interested in the book of the reading I went to last night, here's the publisher's listing: http://mudflatpress.com/portfolio-item/kickback/ (http://mudflatpress.com/portfolio-item/kickback/)

What is this page one malarky?
-
However, the Amazon link isn't correct. THIS (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1799042308/) is the correct link.

Even though I'm exhausted, I'm not quite ready for bed yet.

TOD I went to get my passport and had to stand in line for over an hour. I didn't kill anyone but I did end up in the hospital. It was an extremely hot day and there was no air conditioning. I finally got to the front of the line and started feeling dizzy. I woke up on the floor with some woman pouring water on me. paramedics took me to the hospital where I was poked, prodded, scanned, and tested for everything. They decided to keep me overnight so I had to call my brother to come get my keys and get my car from the post office. Turns out I have vasovagal syncope which means I pass out from blood pressure drop. But I'm okay!

I know I've been in long lines, but the only thing I can think of is when we went to Disneyland back in the 90s.

I haven't been around much as we have had a new "neighbor" in one of the back yards around. A couple of weeks ago I was startled out of a sound sleep by a screeching at four fifteen AM. At first I thought an animal had gotten into the house but I knew the house was closed up tight. Next morning when I went to feed the stray cats, I saw the culprit. It was a very large, white....................
-
Peacock! I shooed it out of my yard but every night between 2 and 4 AM he starts screeching on and off until dawn. Last night was the first time in two weeks I haven't heard him so I think he may be gone. I was hoping to get a good nights sleep but instead I was up vomiting instead. Maybe tonight I'll sleep straight through.

Great picture, lechienfou!

Yeah, it's been interesting. And how about you, Cuddles?

thanks George. Time to collapse after the bday party. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Doing well...just working, watching TV, and going to the theater. :D

Whatcha watchin' on tv.

Whatcha watchin' on tv.
Right now, a repeat of last night's The 11th Hour with guest host, Steve Kornacki.

What're they on about? I'm watching the movie "kinky boots".

Exactly! I don't get why more interviewers don't just call him out on all his lies.

I saw the stage version here, it was fabulous! I'd love to see it again.

A national tour is coming to Olympia next year! I can't wait!

Why don't the people around him tell him to shut the f*ck up. He has ruined our reputation around the world and will probably drag us into a war for no reason.

Oh, look! It's Page Two! :D

And now, I need to sleep, too. Today, I get to sleep in and then this evening, I'm going to see Hay Fever in Tacoma.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning!
-
Good morning, all!
-
This is a heavy work day, after I finish my usual tasks.
-
The good news is that Annabelle is back to her old self: couldn't wait for breakfast this morning, pestering me to patrol, playing with Thatch and Stella. It's a relief.
-
Excellent news on the DVM exam, BK!
-
DR John G, Eddie Sauter's orchestration for Promenade is for Reed (Clarinet/Bass Clarinet/Flute), Trumpet, Trombone, Violin, Bass, Piano, Percussion: seven players.
-
I need to do laundry, but I think I'll do that tomorrow morning.
-
DR TCB, Thatch also runs when he sees the syringe with his Atenelol approaching. It took me several hours to dose him yesterday and he fought like hell.
-
I've received an inquiry about orchestrating a regional theatre show, so I'm listening to the demo at the moment. I like it.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Looks like we have a gorgeous weekend on our hands.
Finally.
-
I must get outside today and mow the weeds.
-
We did not patrol this morning despite Annabelle's earlier pestering. When I opened the apartment door, there was some commotion in the hall, and she refused to go out with me. She ran from the door back into the apartment. When I went out to check and dump the litter, there was no one there, so I thought I'd see if she had changed her mind. Thatch and Stella were ready, but Annabelle was nowhere in sight.
The moment has passed.
-
Bed made, lightbulb changed, dishes washed, and litter dumped. I need some breakfast, and then I'll get to work.
-
T.O.D.
I had to wait once in a doctor's office for over an hour, then I was told that it would be another 45 minutes, so I left and found another doctor.
-
Good morning.
-
I really lucked out with this shot. Only a sore arm; maybe a slight headache.
My advice is to get the Shingrix if you can find it; just get it when you have nothing to do the following day.
-
thanks to DR CHAS SMITH for the profanity report on Disaster The Musical.
-
Good news from MR BK about the TEST.
And I did indeed enjoy the lyrics.....I got sidetracked yesterday and never got back to HHW!
-
TOD: I was on hold long distance buying tickets to Jason Graae's concert for about 90 minutes.
-
Nice photos of DR GINNY and DR KEVIN and MR BK & Alexa.

TOD:
Rides at King's Island
A check out line at some going out of business store around Christmas time.....
Over a hour waiting for a meal at a Bob Evans restaurant.....AFTER our group had ordered...after waiting thirty minutes for a server....

Cute 😊
-
Test result vibes for DR TCB!
-
Wow, I got 6 hours of sleep.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I once waited overnight for Prince tickets, but they wouldn’t let us wait in line. It was done by a lottery. Weird. Concert was excellent, though.
-
And I waited with hundreds in Austin for more than three hours to get Franklin Barbecue. The wait is part of the fun. People bring beers, chairs, etc. and make it lively. Everybody talks barbecue. The actual barbecue, when we got it, was excellent, but it wasn’t my favorite. I do love his espresso sauce on the beef ribs.
-
We waited in long lines for the original Star Treck movies.
-
Three!
-
Hi, Jane.
-
Just out of the pool.
-
Memorable lines and long waits:
DMV in LA (Hollywood) and here in the Constitution State. And the emissions testing places here when they were run by the state. Man, those were primitive days. (Now that all kinds of car places can do it, it’s a breeze.)
Movies: The Godfather, The Exorcist, Jaws, E.T., and The Last Temptation of Christ always come to mind. There are surely a few I’m forgetting.
Various attractions (and eating venues) at the Disney parks, both California and Florida.
King Tut exhibition at LACMA in the late 1970s.
And leave us not forget the gas shortage lines in 1973 and 1979.
-
Hi John. Enjoy the pool time. We are off to the gyn then have a ton of errands today before connecti g with friends.
-
I waited in line eight hours at Antiques Roadshow.
-
DR Laura as of today our arms no longer hurt. How are you feeling after your vaccination?
-
Even though I'm exhausted, I'm not quite ready for bed yet.
It's "Applause," not "Woman of the Year," but what a Bacall song lead-in at 0:45 here
"I'm too exhausted to go to the party, but I'm much too excited to go home to sleep."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRikWbT6WG0
-
BK, are there any of the songs cut from "Woman of the Year" that involved the child Tess had adopted, which was from the Tracy-Hepburn film?
I remember that the talented young actor and Harry Guardino had a number that went over really big the night I saw it, almost as big a hand as "Grass is Always Greener" did later in the act.
There was no "I Wrote the Book" song with Tess and the cleaning ladies and mops yet. I think maybe that wound up in that place in the running order.
-
Unlike the classic film where they literally brought the kid back to the orphanage like they were returning a pair of slacks, just yucky but I guess of its time IMHO, at least the first time I saw the show in Boston, Tess accepted her responsibility that she'd taken on by the end.
-
"The Grass is Always Greener" had a much stronger dramatic function along with all the fun of the number - making Tess really get that she needed to be there for the adopted kid she'd taken on the commitment to (at the time adopted foreign kids was very "fashionable" and I wondered if the authors were drawn to the material by that part of the plot since Kander and Ebb and even Stone weren't known for silly fluff), as well as her husband.
-
The adopting the kid part of the plot was gone (her somehow forgetting the kid to run off to be feted with her Wiman of the Year award and sing the first act finale made Tess pretty darn hateful at intermission) - and the show became the Tony-winning (for book and score and acting awards too) ball-o'-fluff in the maybe two or three weeks - in front of anyone who felt like paying to see it.
These days, they'd surely have realized in workshops that it was a huge problem that we had no sympathy at all for Tess at intermission, and either fixed it or maybe even just stopped the process. But I'm betting the box office advance was really good in New York by that point, and I know quite a few fans bought repeat tickets to watch the work that everyone knew was being done.
-
I never really got why Tess (Bacall) couldn't take the kid to the Woman of the Year event with her, but it became moot.
-
Regarding lines, I can't figure out the need for people who already have their tickets to stand on a line to enter the theater. I know the bag checks are needed, but they often seem not to get the line moving until 10 minutes before 7 or 8.
-
The cut song I have IS a Guardino song and is probably what you're thinking of. Michael Lavine is getting me a live recording of it. If it's a male/kid thing I'll do it in the 100th show.
-
I shall now be on my way to see some one-acts.
-
These Promenade parts are such a mess! I've been through maybe six numbers today. After I finish dinner, I'll go back and write the violin part fro the Act Two czardas.
-
Saturday evening greetings! We eased into the day and got to the convention center about 11, just in time for me to get a great seat for Hoda Kotb. After that I wandered the exhibit hall, with a short lunch break with Richard, until 4. Then I went to a multi-publisher book buzz and we’re now back at the hotel. In about an hour we’re going for ice cream with Becki, a long-lost friend of mine and DR Elmore’s.
-
TOD - One of our longest waits was 5 hours on the plane waiting to take off from London during a snowstorm. By the time we got to Newark, of course, our connection to Dayton was long gone.
-
Ginny - How was the crowd for Hoda?
-
Hi John. Enjoy the pool time. We are off to the gyn then have a ton of errands today before connecti g with friends.
An obgyn? Or a bottle of gyn?
Speaking of which, I brought a bottle of gin I thought was unopened. It was. I hadn’t drunk it because it was bad. Really bad. It’s staying here.
-
We're in Florida

We went fir dinner she I made the mietake of having a cicktail

Nice to know that about her mom. Says something nice about her.

DR Jennifer, is there anything you do to counteract these noxious odors? I'm using homeopathic Nux Vomica tonight and it does seem to be helping, but there may be other things that just haven't occurred to me.
I avoid perfume. And unfortunately I have to stay inside if someone is mowing their lawn near me. If I am riding my bike and someone is cutting their grass I have to cover my face or hold my breath. :(
-
Oh no DR Jan. Hopefully the people at the passport office felt horrible. They should have air conditioning and not be causing people to wait in severe heat.
-
Wow, I got 6 hours of sleep.
I guess I'm lucky, but that would be a terrible night's sleep for me.
-
Not sure what DR Vixmom said. :)

This post seems to be trying to say they're surfing now.
-
Page four? Really?
-
Back from seeing nine one-acts, ten-minute plays, not a one of which was good, and several that ran well over ten minutes. Then Doug and I had dinner at a Chinese jernt just a couple of blocks from the theater. It was pretty good.
-
Now I'm home, just did the blurb and got the audio tracks off to Doug, for our new release announcing tomorrow at midnight. A film music release and a fantastic one at that.
-

Very lucky. I doubt I will get as much tonight having "slept" last night.

And now, I need to sleep, too. Today, I get to sleep in and then this evening, I'm going to see Hay Fever in Tacoma.
Have a good day, all!
The play was really good.
-
The performers were good.
-
My friend Rodman played the adult son (I forget his character's name) and I got to chat with him after the show.
-
He is an absolute sweetheart...and a total hottie. ;D
-
When I left, I got a text from my friend David that his wife had left him and he was in the hospital! :o
-
She also took their only car (it was from her grandmother, so that makes sense).
-
Anyway, I'm in Seattle and hopefully will get to see him soon (TMI to post). :(
-
Fortunately, I was already in Tacoma, so I didn't have to come all the way up from Olympia.
-
I'm sure that my cat will be fine until I get home.
-
In the morning, I'm supposed to help my sister set up the PFLAG booth/tent at 9:00 a.m.
-
I hope I get some sleep tonight.
-
I'll have to see how long I can last before I might need to leave.
-
It's a good thing that I normally stay up late.
-
:)
-
It's Page Five.
-
And that was my evening.
-
This afternoon, I went to my sister's and put up more siding on her daughter's chicken coop.
-
That didn't take too long.
-
My sister's boyfriend got us dinner from the Fishtale Brew Pub.
-
I got their regular, standard burger.
-
It was a little dry (probably because Larry had to get it and bring it to my sister's), but it was otherwise pretty good.
-
Anyway, I'm just hanging out at the hospital.
-
I should get my Kindle.
-
It's in my car.
-
And I didn't park too far away.
-
Nah...I have a few books on my phone already.
-
Highway Patrol - shooting on location at Eugene's Jeweler's 1754 some street. I thought maybe La Brea or Highland, so I Googled - well, it was there until last YEAR - at 1754 Vermont, right near the House of Pies and many of the buildings are exactly as they were. Go know. There was also another location in the 4600 block somewhere - I noted a Wolfy's Restaurant but no luck finding it. I suspect Lankershim or Van Nuys Blvd.
-
I'm still here.
-
I'm sure that my cat has enough food and water until the morning.
-
Good evening.
-
George, I am sorry to read about your friend.
-
Does his hospital stay have something to do with his wife leaving him?
-
THE PRODUCERS was hysterical!
-
Great cast... great show.
-
Tracy and I have already decided that we are going back to see it again.
-
Will Johnson was Leo Bloom. That kid is going places. I first saw him as the dentist in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. He was fantastic. Most recently, I saw him play the son in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.
-

He is sensational as Bloom.

But does he actually want to go places?
-
Maybe he has a good job and wants to stay in town...it's possible.
;)
-
Take it, Tom!........
-
He is only 20 years old. I don’t think he has chosen his career path.
