So, for some reason over the last couple of days, I went to YouTube and was looking up different versions of  La Bayadère, the ballet that our very own Larry reorchestrated last year for Indiana University.  I happened to come across this radio/podcast interview with Phil Chan, co-choreographer and he mentions Larry and is very complimentary!  This link should take you to 11:25 where he's mentioned:

Post by: George on July 03, 2025, 01:19:55 AM
In the description of this video, it says that "Back in May of 2023 in episode 339, we had Phil on the podcast with Doug Fullington and Sarah Wroth to tell us about how the idea for 'Star on the rise : La Bayadère ... reimagined!' came about, and what made Indiana University a great place to mount this production...."  And here's a link to that earlier podcast:

DR George, I have not seen any of those links before. Thank you! Doug and Phil were wonderful collaborators, and I'm quite fond of them. We all want to see more happen with the ballet, but things are very quiet at the moment. I suspect the current administration anmd the idiot running it have got all major performance groups wondering where things stand financially for 2026.

Last night was the perfect night for an outdoor rehearsal, and it went well. I can see two-thirds of the stage, which is way better than we usually get, and it looks like the director has done a good job of honoring the Hal Prince-ish look and feel of the show. They're stuck with a basic set construction originally designed a couple of seasons ago, but they're making good use of it.
Title: Re: BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

What does everyone think about celebrities slumming (cashing in? selling out?) on game shows? I'm thinking Drew Carey hosting The Price is Right, or Jay Leno on Hollywood Squares.

It's probably easy money for them. I don't begrudge them the money. But do they really need it that badly?

I just googled Snowdrops.

In Victorian flower language, snowdrops symbolized consolation and hope. They were often included in bouquets to offer comfort and encouragement to those facing difficult times. Additionally, snowdrops, as one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, were also seen as a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Consolation and Hope:
Snowdrops, being one of the earliest flowers to emerge in winter, were seen as a sign of hope and resilience, especially during challenging periods.
New Beginnings:
Their appearance after the cold winter months made them a natural symbol of renewal and the promise of spring.
Victorian Context:
In Victorian England, the flower language was a popular way to express emotions and sentiments. Snowdrops, with their delicate beauty, fit perfectly into the Victorian era's appreciation for nature and symbolism.
Beyond Victorian Times:
While the Victorian language of flowers is a specific historical context, the symbolism of snowdrops as a sign of hope and new beginnings continues to be recognized today.

I am in recuperation mode, ie, I’m being a couch potato. Yesterday I had some outpatient surgery — not painless, but it went smoothly. I’m doing well, but need to take it easy for a few days. An overdue break for R&R. I’m happy to curl up with a book or watch a movie or post here. I’m not allowed to drive yet or even take a shower. So perhaps an overripe couch potato. 🥔

I made an offer on a condo. The seller came down in price and I moved up. The agent discounted his commission. We each gave up something. I thought that at last this offer might fly. But it was not to be. The seller balked at paying the buyer’s commission, which is customary in California. That added another $13,000 to the sales price, which I felt was already inflated. I like the unit, would like to buy in that building, but feel that the seller is being unrealistic and trying to take advantage. He wants an outrageously good deal.

Possibly, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t recognize her. There were many I did recognize — Bob Hope, Streisand, Liza, Travolta (Bruce passed those photos on to him and they were lovely). I’m doing a first pass to weed out wedding photos of total unknowns, then I’ll give Bruce another batch.

I don't have a photo of my paternal grandfather, but that's because he and my grandmother divorced and he was erased from the family history. When my grandmother died we checked and there was not a photo of him to be found. I'm hoping some of my cousins might have photos of a bunch of the siblings, including him, but no luck yet. The closest I've gotten are photos of his parents and some of his brothers.

I do not have a photo of my grandfather, my mother's father.  Someone had to have had at least one photo but never passed it on to my mother.

I don't have a photo of my paternal grandfather, but that's because he and my grandmother divorced and he was erased from the family history. When my grandmother died we checked and there was not a photo of him to be found. I'm hoping some of my cousins might have photos of a bunch of the siblings, including him, but no luck yet. The closest I've gotten are photos of his parents and some of his brothers.

That too is sad.  Because my grandparents were divorced I'm not even sure my mother remembered what her father looked like :(

I'm really sorry about your deal, DR Jeanne.

Vibes they realize their mistake and offer you the condo at your price.

National law as of last year no longer compels sellers to pay buyer’s agents. A settlement made in a lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors.

I never saw Killers of the Flower Moon, but I really want to now that I’m watching The Wedding Banquet. Lily Gladstone is wonderful. This movie is really good.

Movie rule No. 4,326:

Beware of old pros. Youn Yuh-Jung, who won the Oscar for Minari, and Joan Chen have a short scene alone together in The Wedding Banquet and walk away with the movie.
