Well, you've read the notes, the notes had meat AND veggies, and now it is time for you to post until the vegetarian cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: EVOKE!
-
Topic of the Day: the first pianist that came to my mind was Fred Hersch. He recorded an album with Janis Siegel of The Manhattan Transfer back in the 1989, but he has his own solo CDs. I actually just got a couple of his latest from the library. He's still very good.
-
Janis and Fred's first CD from 1989 was called Short Stories (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00000DP10/), and I absolutely love it. Their follow-up duet album from 1995 is called Slow Hot Wind (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000008PAM/), and our very own BK was the executive producer!
-
You do know I produced a CD with Fred Hersch - nominated for a Grammy, it was. A CD of Johnny Mandel tunes. Very good.

And now, I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!

I am determined to finish this Interlude this weekend, the cats perm,itting. They've been quite rowdy the past two days, and I have no idea what to expect from them before Nov. 1.
-
DR JohnG, I wish Frank Capra had toned Cary Grant down a bit for at least the first half of Arsenic and Old Lace. He's working way too hard. I really do like the rest of the cast enormously. While I wish Boris Karloff had recreated Jonathan Brewater, Raymond Massey, another actor I love, is really frightening. He and Peter Lorre play well off each other. The three Broadway stars of the play, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, and John Alexander, are relegated to second-class in the billing, but they're so wonderful in their insane gentility. Some of the Epstein brothers' screenplay seems a bit condescending and arch, but some additions, like Edward Everett Horton's director of the Happy Dasle sanatorium, are very funny. The movie, unlike the play, makes an effort to remove the premise a bit from reality, while the play just accepts an eccentric family, like the one in You Can't Take It With You, as demented serial killers everyone in the neighborhood accepts a sweet but eccentric. Thus, it's set on Halloween night - great opening credits with jack-o-lanterens and cats - and Capra really gets much out of the scarier moments. The blasck and white transfer is really beautiful. The real problem is Cary Grant, an actor who rarely does wrong.
-
I would love to spend the wekend with the cats watching scary movies, but I have to finish that interlude.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Boo!
-
Tonight, I must attend a dinner event that I absolutely do NOT want to attend. I have to for the DH for political reasons. I fear it is going to be a super spreader. Pray for Rosemary's baby.
-
And just WHERE has October flown? I ask you.
-
DR elmore3003 - when do you start on the ballet?
-
My neighbor Ann just stopped by. She's off to Bston to see er parents, and she's taking cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery to her mother. She brought me a couple as well. I'll have one after klitty cleanup with my second cuppa coffee.
-
TOD:
Bill Evans (jazz)
Daniil Trifonov (classical)
Victor Borge (comedy)
-
Everything is improved by a cupcake.
-
DR elmore3003 - when do you start on the ballet?
When I sign my contract. Indiana has sent me two so far: the first one had wrong informastion that the gentlemen behind the ballet wanted changed. The second contract had the changeds, only they were wrong!
-
Also, when my eyes are finished and I can really see again.
-
Good morning, all.
-
A crazy night. I seemed to be waking up almost every hour for one thing or another, even though I was basically comfortable. But the sleep, when I got it, was okay.
-
DR Elmore - Are both eyes being corrected for distance, and you'll use reading glasses for close work? Or maybe you're one of those lucky people who don't even need reading glasses?
-
TOD
Jazz - Previn, Evans, Monk, Peterson, Brubeck
Classical - Gould, Cliburn, Brendel, Fleisher, Graffman
Pop - no constant favorites, I'd have to think upon this one
-
DR Elmore - Are both eyes being corrected for distance, and you'll use reading glasses for close work? Or maybe you're one of those lucky people who don't even need reading glasses?
I think that's the general outcome. Im seeing an optometrist next week, the one who discovered the cataracs.
-
My goodness, how could I have forgotten Glenn Gould?
-
Two!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Slept eight hours. How did that happen?
-
Long day of volunteering for a food and wine festival, followed by some dancing.
-
:)
-
DR John G. - there's something wrong with that schedule. Like, no time for a nap.
-
Right, Singdaw.
-
Pop: Elton John, Billy Joel, Carole King, Aretha Franklin, Jerry Lee Lewis
Jazz: Bobby Short, Dinah Washington, Hazel Scott, Oscar Peterson, Duke Ellington, Count Basie

Thanks. I remember now that it was Cary Grant on full throttle that I didn’t care for.

Reading some excellent reviews of Elton John’s new Tammy Faye musical.

CONGRATULATIONS, BK, on a successful wrap on Season One of Sami!
That must be a relief.

I think that's the general outcome. Im seeing an optometrist next week, the one who discovered the cataracs.
In my brief conversation with the optometrist the other day, I said that's the way I'd probably go. Which, in fact, is what most people do. You can get pretty fancy with customizing the lenses they put in, such as going with monovision (one eye distance, the other reading) which is how I've worn contacts for the past 15 years or more (and it totally works for me), but the costs are enormous in comparison with what Medicare etc. will pay for. And I'm willing to just keep cheap cheaters around in return for having great distance vision again.
Cheap Cheaters is the title of my upcoming soap opera about workers in the eye care industry.

Congrats to MR BK & co!
No you didn't make a mistake - I read it wrong. I don't know my Amazon from my elbow.

Loved reading about the production yesterday - makeup, half an hour late......

Good morning.

Lots to do today! Many cookies to be baked. Maybe a photo later.
-
DR Laura - I do hope so!
-
From DR Vixmom:
I believe I tested negative the 6th day, I’ve forgotten if you said he’s on a course of paxlovid or not. I started taking that the day I tested positive.
Thank you for responding. He took two doses of it and stopped as I was concerned he would rebound while we were visiting the kids. Studies say it doesn't reduce the time you have covid, just the symptoms and he felt fine. A few people I know felt it reduced the number of days.
-
According to the CDC, since he hasn't had any symptoms, it is now ok to go out in public wearing a mask.
-
Tonight, I must attend a dinner event that I absolutely do NOT want to attend. I have to for the DH for political reasons. I fear it is going to be a super spreader. Pray for Rosemary's baby.
Stay healthy vibes. Do I remember correctly that you got the new booster?
-

Please share a photo later.

Busy morning. Created a staging area and put together 35 chef bags and 70 VIP bags in the wind. It’s a blustery day.
-
The aromas from the various foods is tremendous.
-
Thanks, DR Jane. Yes, we are both fully boosted, etc.
-
Three!
-
Saturday afternoon greetings! We were out and about early (for us) this morning. We delivered some donations the AAUW Holiday Bazaar site, had breakfast at Wendy’s, and took an old tire to a recycling event at the county fairgrounds.
-
Now we’re settled in for a college football triple-header:
Go, Nittany Lions!
Go, Bearcats!
Go, Blue!

That’s the route I took. I do have 2 pairs of bifocals (clear and sunglasses) with some very mild distance correction and my reading magnification for driving, shopping, and in theatres and lecture halls. I passed the vision test when renewing my driver’s license, but I like the extra sharpness my glasses provide.
I don’t wear them all the time because I don’t want to become dependent on them.

I'm up, I'm up - about six hours of sleep.

TOD - Lorin Hollander, classical pianist who is also an educator. He spent a lot of time in residency at Miami-Middletown.

Former DR JoseSPiano was also pretty good on the ivories.

Adjustments to orchestration made. Now we do a play-through of the Elmer Bernstein show.

Today is National Cat Day.

Dear Readers, I posted that Chewy commercial; with the adorable cat. It's one of hte few TV commercials I like at the moment. I think the ones I detest the most are those for Liberty Mutual which try to be funny but to me are only relentlessly moronic and insipid. Are there any current commercials you find particularly repellent?

All political ads.

I get pretty tired of the rich Viking Cruise guy telling me that the only thing I don't have enough of is time. I beg to differ.

I don't think we shall ever get to page four.

But it's not for lack of trying.

Cute.

This will help.

From BK's notes:
....the character of grandpa made the first of his appearances – we never see him, just hear him from the other room.
Will Guy Haines be playing Grandpa?
-
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had meat AND veggies, and now it is time for you to post until the vegetarian cows come home.
Be careful, some might squash the notes!

I enjoy the play more than the movie. I played Jonathan Brewster (not Brewater) a few times.

Im very fond of DR Chas

Congratulations to Vixdad!

I have also played Jonathon Brewster - lots of fun.
-
I am thinking that's the casting as well DR TCB.
-
Yes of course DR CHAS SMITH is most in demand for his skills.
-
(In the US)
Of course.
-
It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I think I can agree with everyone that the exaggerated Cary Grant persona is the main problem with the Arsenic and Old Lace movie.
Actually, now I'm kind of in the mood to watch it. I'll just have to allow for that.
-
Yay, the rain took a break this afternoon and I managed a couple of walks.

Gratuitous Post #100!!
-
I'm at the theater, in (most of) my costume, just waiting for everything to start!
-
And then once the show starts, I don't actually enter until more than a half hour later!
-
Have a good evening.

Thanks, Jane!

'night

Has everyone here been in a production of "Arsenic and Old Lace"?
How about "Our Town"?

I haven't...for either show. And I've only seen a local production of Arsenic and Old Lace. I've never seen Our Town.
-
Finally home. It’s been a long day.
-
I’ll be honest: Not everything I had at the food festival tasted great. Shrimp snd pork belly were big ingredients, but not necessarily good. Several places did poke, and those were pretty good. A butter pecan French toast was wonderful.
-
Best was a just grilled beef tenderloin served over Texas quail. The local supermarket giant, H-E-B, served that. Sadly, they paired it with a cold slab of butternut squash and some sort of biscuit covered in a sweet sauce.

Here on the east coast, it seems everyone I ever talk to about amateur theater has done "Our Town".

Good evening.
-
Everyone had a good time at Trunk or Treat tonight. Lots of people I didn't know, which is the point of the whole thing.
-
The people I poured wine for really liked the way I handled the wines and gave me two, a chardonnay and a pinot noir.

Can we get off this page?

Five is all the rage.

Onward!

Five!

Today has been rather low-key for me.
I slept late. I had a nice trip to post office where I got some mail I had been waiting for (and didn't get mail I have been expecting).
I had some shepherd's pie for lunch.
I loaded a week's worth of recyclables in the back of my car (will take them to recycle center either tomorrow or Monday).
-
Can we get off this page?
No.
-
I am thrilled about vixdad voting.
-
J.B. just became a guard dog and alerted me to a presence in the backyard. Turned out to be a skunk.
-
Home from two social events. Had I had my druthers, I would have stayed home.
-
Never have seen a skunk on the property before.
-
They were relatively painless, as these things go.
-
Home from two social events. Had I had my druthers, I would have stayed home.
I heard ya.
-
Play through of the Bernstein show was fine. I made two arrangement adjustments.
-
I guess I'll find out over the next few days if I have developed Covid or not.
-
Then Yacko and I went to Art's Deli - he had an omelet and I had a patty melt and fries - very good!
-
Does that make me cynical?
-
AITA?
-
Oh - a patty melt and fries sounds really good.
-
The event food described by DR John G. sounds too highbrow for me at the moment.
-
I am glad he got some good wine, though.
-
Then I went to CVS for Claritin-D - the machine wouldn't allow me to be the large pack of twenty-four hour pills - I don't think it's been less than two weeks since buying the Mucinex-D - then again, they were having a lot of issues with their machines. It certainly allowed me to be the 12-hour version but I didn't notice she gave me the smallest pack - ten tablets - if I have to take two a day, that's only five days. Ridic.
-
Does J.B. do that alarm thing at any incursion into the yard?
-
The DH was looking for some new reading material. I just loaded a couple of BK's older books onto his Kindle. He's read all the newer stuff and all the Adriana books.
-
Good night, friends.
-
AITA?
Not in this case.
-
Does J.B. do that alarm thing at any incursion into the yard?
Yes.
-
He screamed at the hawk, the mastiff, the possum, the various cats.
-
Has everyone here been in a production of "Arsenic and Old Lace"?

I played Aunt Martha in junior high
-
Never in Our Town
-
I am thrilled about vixdad voting.
So are we! He told everyone it was his first time and the guy working the machine shook his hand everyone else congratulated him and there were a few who clapped when he was done
-
We went for ice cream to celebrate
-
Our new sleep number bed arrived today
-
So I guess I’ll go test it out
-
Good night!
-
Well, we're done for tonight...only one more to go.
Be back later. Gotta go home first.
-
I want to remind you that in days of old a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking.
-
Now? Heaven knows - anything goes.
-
Finished with my viewing. More stalking episodes - the style of these just kills them.
-
I want to be very clear that the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain. I hope we have that straight.
-
Or crooked.
-
Did you know, for example, that when I fall in love, it will be forever or I'll never fall in love?
-
I'm here all by myself. Eric Carman told me that.
-
Listening to music.
-
And I don't care who knows it.
-
Hopefully, our late night denizens will be joining us sooner than later.
-
Has everyone here been in a production of "Arsenic and Old Lace"?
How about "Our Town"?
Yes, I played the Stage Manager.
-
I tried to find something fun to watch tonight. The Disney Channel kept pushing some weird thing called THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG.
-
Then I tried BLACKBEARD’s GHOST WITH Dean Jones. I am sure I saw it when it was a kid, but it was HORRIBLE. I made it about 30 minutes. Yuck!
-
Break A Leg to George for his final mysterious performance.
-
That didn’t sound right.
-
I was going to watch THE UNINVITED, but I changed my mind. Maybe Monday.
-
Has anyone ever seen THE CRYSTAL BALL with Ray Milland?
-
Congratulations to Vixdad.
-
Wind and rain storm for us tomorrow. I am glad I am not going to the Seahawks game.
-
Maybe I should play some scary music?
-
Did Rita Moreno not sing “America? This album ( Essential Sondheim) only lists Suzte Kaye, Betty Wand, and George Chakiris. Weird.

Break A Leg to George for his final mysterious performance.
Thanks, Tom! I'm gonna need it! ::)
-
That didn’t sound right.
Good enough for me. ;)
-
We had a professional company come in to film the show. Unfortunately, they could only film it at a dress rehearsal. Beautiful film work and a totally empty theater with no audience reaction.
-
I think someone filmed tonight...one camera in the back, but it's something.
-
I played the title role in an outdoor production of MACBETH. Unfortunately when they filmed it, they forgot to switch on the sound. It is kind of like Mack Sennett presents MACBETH.
-

Why should you need it? You are an old pro in it now.

Well, tonight's performance was (again) not without a mistake from me. I don't know why, but everybody every night this entire run except for last night, I've had some little goober (some more noticeable than others), but a different goober each night. WTF??
-
I know my lines...ALL of them, but out of nowhere, I just have a brain fart. :-\

Of course, I'm in The Apple Dumpling Gang.

I really am.

I've seen it.

And me.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
So, tomorrow you go out in style.
-
I've seen them.
-
And they've seen me.
-
Of course, I'm in The Apple Dumpling Gang.
Oh, really!!

We've all seen each other.

But on a happier note (D-natural)...New Compound Discovered That Destroys the MRSA Superbug (https://scitechdaily.com/new-compound-discovered-that-destroys-the-mrsa-superbug/amp/).
A compound that both inhibits the MRSA superbug and renders it more vulnerable to antibiotics in lab experiments has been discovered by researchers at the University of Bath in the UK.

Gratuitous Post #202!!

It was fun hanging with Don Knotts, Tim Conway, and John McGiver - it was supposed to be one day - was on the film for seven days.
-
Gratuitous is a very gratuitous word.
-
You know...
-
We're pretty close.
-
Very close.
-
Couldn't be closer.
-
I'm feeling it.
-
It is feeling me.
-
Yes!
