I slept well, In one dream, I was workiong on a film bio of Judy Garland, The leading lady was an unknoiwn, and her mother was played by Betty Buckley. It was a very strange dream geographically; we seemed to be in Appalachiaentucky on the banks of the Big Sandy River, close to my paternal grandmother's house.

What's more weird is that I know nothing about the adolescent life of Judy Garland.

Not to be too irreverent since I know the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial is very serious -  but every time I hear that a certain witness in a New York trial is a "stylist for Combs" - it seems like an interesting juxtaposition of words.

She's very dehydrated. Her teeth are bad. And at age 17, her kidneys are probably shot. But my daughter will have at least some time with her.

She got a double dose of fluids, an antibiotic shot, and an enema. Hopefully she will feel better. For a while.

On Sunday, we had a run-through, and the light board operator and the microphone operator were there for the first time.  On Monday, the light board operator came back, but the mic person wasn't there. ???

Of course, she may not want to get involved again, but still she should've at least let us know that she couldn't do it...any reason would've been fine.  Just don't bail like that. :P

Does anyone know her to find out if it was intentional or if something happened to her?

Very interesting notes.

I read a book once.....Marie Dressler spit take.....I will have to try to find it.  It was a Greek or Roman philosopher and it was most eye opening and still relevant today.

I shall have to try to find the book.  His father was a king.....anyway....I need to find that book.

My sister lived for years in a house that Marie Dressler once lived in. I was the only one in my family who was excited by that news.

Cool and ;D

The assumption is that she might have realized that she was just overwhelmed with all the mics that she would have to deal with, but to not at least admit that is just bad form.

DR JANE I didn't get up until 2 p.m.  So the pair of keets were covered until then.

If I close my bedroom door - I only have one window which has room darkening curtains, so with the door closed I don't get light from the other bedrooms and it is dark for as long as I wish.....and I did so last night after a couple of 5 a.m. stay awakes.
