Thank you, Bruce.  I was so confused when I started watching THE BAT, and it was in color.  It looked great, but I was befuddled.

DR Jeanne, was The Bat the Agnes Morehead film? I loved that as a kid. When I was working on my master's degree, I wanted to write my thesis on the mystery and horror plays that played on Broadway in the early 20th century: The Bat, The Cat and the Canary, The Ghost Train, The Gorilla, Dracula. and others.

I enjoyed my li'l evening with The Bride of Frankenstein at the theater last night, but the single greatest horror aspect of it all was the drive there and back. The nor'easter was still dumping water on us after 24 solid hours, and oddly enough, the tail end of rush hour traffic wasn't bad, and the main roads I was on were fine...but it was irritating beyond measure. I've said before that driving in the rain at night is my second-to-least favorite kind of driving (the winner, of course, would be snow or any kind of icy precip), and by gum I'll say it again.

Well, I have little - or nothing - to say for myself this morning.

I'm back at rehearsal tonight.  ALERT THE MEDIA.

I've also decided to spend two hours this morning in front of my DVR catching up on the last two episodes of La Brea.

Enjoyed catching up on La Brea and deleting it from the DVR.

I was in the mood for more, and I had time, so I watched The Long, Long Trailer which I'd DVR'd from TCM last week. I hadn't seen it in many years. Enjoyed it, deleted it.

Also went through and sampled a couple of other things I'd recorded, and decided I didn't really need to watch them, so...

Pffft.   All gone.

UGH - I hate reading stories like this.  In case anyone didn't know, I make my living working in a Catholic School and for the Catholic Church. It's no secret about my sexual orientation and I guess I'm lucky it hasn't become an issue.  Then again, you'd never know if you didn't know me.  The Catholic Church needs to back off because if they keep firing people because of their sexual orientation, there won't be anyone left - especially in music.  If our dear Pope heard about this, there would be hell to pay.  However, he is outspoken by the people under him who actually make the decisions and the speeches.    That's all I'm saying about THAT.

I need something really light. The Zola is so depressing I can’t take more than 30 pages at a time.

God, I do hate the Catholic Church, a lot of closeted gay men running around in dresses and making life miserable with their hypocrisy.
https://www.edgemedianetwork.com/story.php?ch=news&sc=religion&id=310033&watch%3A_beloved_catholic_school_music_teacher_fired_for_marrying_his_partner&fbclid=IwAR1UlYVX1bKZhvPhooghOQkbEw6wJfQDArnc_I0EJK60O-aLD1EADWdjU64

UGH - I hate reading stories like this.  In case anyone didn't know, I make my living working in a Catholic School and for the Catholic Church. It's no secret about my sexual orientation and I guess I'm lucky it hasn't become an issue.  Then again, you'd never know if you didn't know me.  The Catholic Church needs to back off because if they keep firing people because of their sexual orientation, there won't be anyone left - especially in music.  If our dear Pope heard about this, there would be hell to pay.  However, he is outspoken by the people under him who actually make the decisions and the speeches.    That's all I'm saying about THAT.

I am glad you work at a good school and vibes it stays that way.

DR John are you enjoying The Lincoln Highway?  It just became available for me to read, however, I already have 3 other books checked out and am wondering if I should delay reading it for now.

I’m also reading The Lincoln Highway - about 150 pages in.

It’s okay. Not another Gentleman in Moscow. And there are some anachronisms that are irritating. But I will finish.

I agree, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.

Tonight, I ushered for Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical (https://harlequinproductions.org/show/tenderly-the-rosemary-clooney-musical/).
Title: Re: BATTLE OF THE BONDS

It's a two-person show...one actress plays Rosemary, and the actor plays her therapist and all the other characters throughout her life.
Title: Re: BATTLE OF THE BONDS
Post by: George on October 27, 2021, 11:04:46 PM
There was also a piano, bass and drums combo accompanying all the songs.

The actress was a good actress, but she seemed more like an actress who could sing, rather than a singer who could act...in other words, she acted the songs very well. ::)

Let me say that she was not bad at all!

HA!  I am boosted.  I was just looking around the Walgreen's site and they had a 7 p.m. slot open.....it was 6:35 p.m. and I only live ten minutes away, so I grabbed it.

Took the Smarty and drove right over.  So I am happy to be FULLY Moderna-ized.


Did I forget to mention that I got my booster shot yesterday.
