To continue from last night about my Goofy watch:

The last time I needed to have the battery changed, the watch repair guy couldn't get the back back on! :o He said something about the gasket being the culprit, but looking at it now, it looks fine to my untrained eye.  I think I'll take it to Fred Meyer's jewelry department and see if they can get it back on now (and change the battery, if they can).

About an hour later, I checked to see who had tried to reach me; it was a 917 (NY City area code) number I did not recognize, so I dialed it, and a voice said "This is Laura . . ."

Laura Who? I wondered.
Title: Re: HI AND LO MEIN
Post by: elmore3003 on September 21, 2025, 04:38:12 AM
So, yesterday morning, I called the number again. "This is Laura . . ." but no one picked up. I left a message "This is Larry Moore; you tried to reach me one last night, and I don't know who you are."
Title: Re: HI AND LO MEIN
Post by: elmore3003 on September 21, 2025, 04:46:46 AM
So, last night at 7:30. Laura returned my call. This is where it gets weird. The caller was Laura Parker, whom I last saw in 1979, in Middletown, Ohio, when she was around 10 years old. Her parents were friends of DR Ginny's and mine.  Her uncle was my NYC friend, operatic baritone William Parker, who died from AIDS around 1990. It was at Will's memorial; that I last saw Laura's father John. By that point, her parents had divorced, and her mother had remarried an old community theater friend of mine. They all - Laura, her family, her mother and stepfather -are now living in Santa Barbara, CA. She swore she did not try to call me, so we figure it was the cosmos telling us to reconnect.

On the bad side, her stepfather David is going blind and her mother's mental facilities are going, and since both are dear friends, this news distresses me.  I last saw David and Nancy back in 2017, when they drove from North Carolina to Middletown to attend a party that DR Ginny and Richazrd had during my visit to Middletown.

Well, I don't think I made it even halfway through The Long, Long Trailer last night. I was lying there watching contentedly, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up and staring at something unrecognizable. I didn't even remember the sleepiness coming on me like it normally would, I must have simply conked out at some point. I guess I needed it.

And now I have only a couple of hours before I must be leaving for the Bedford Playhouse. It's a noon showing.

I was reading up on Beau Geste yesterday because as familiar a tale as it is, I have never seen any of the filmed versions of it, or read any of the original books. I do know what's going on in the story, so it will be a thrill to be watching the original in its reconstructed/restored state.

Happy Sunday!  On this week's Broadway Radio Show, it's a delightful conversation with songwriter Michael Finke about his life-long love of musicals and his wonderful new album, a collection of his songs called Get What You Want: The Songs of Michael Finke. It's a fantastic recording featuring a terrific line-up of singers and, if you're unfamiliar with Michael's work, you'll be a fan after giving it a listen!

Hey, Elmore. Speaking of spooky, one day I was wandering the city, might’ve still been the ‘90s, and I forget if it was a library or a museum, it was near Moma, but there was a songwriter showcase in their theater space. So I went to check it out, and they said the guy they’d scheduled couldn’t be there, so this other guy stepped in. Slender blonde guy, played several of his songs on piano, including a lovely song about a day spent at a lake.

Couple years later, I know you now, there’s a gathering at Fred’s apartment, and you bring a guest with you, and it’s that guy I had wandered in and seen perform! Any memory of who that was?

Maybe it was while Larry and Andy were working on the "Singing Nun" musical?

Spooky coincidence that he came up on your FB yesterday.

Not Andy himself, but his show:  Former DR Tomovoz and I were mentioning when the last time Tom and I saw each other in person was, and it was in 2006, when we'd all seen "The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun" at the Theater at St. Clements at NYMF. 

For reason I don't recall, Tomovoz wasn't able to come to the HHW gathering here that weekend.

So, last night at 7:30. Laura returned my call. This is where it gets weird. The caller was Laura Parker, whom I last saw in 1979, in Middletown, Ohio, when she was around 10 years old. Her parents were friends of DR Ginny's and mine.  Her uncle was my NYC friend, operatic baritone William Parker, who died from AIDS around 1990. It was at Will's memorial; that I last saw Laura's father John. By that point, her parents had divorced, and her mother had remarried an old community theater friend of mine. They all - Laura, her family, her mother and stepfather -are now living in Santa Barbara, CA. She swore she did not try to call me, so we figure it was the cosmos telling us to reconnect.

Wow...that's an amazing story, Larry.

I looked up William Parker and found out that he had commissioned the AIDS Quilt Songbook (https://www.amazon.com/Aids-Quilt-Songbook-Lee-Hoiby/dp/B0000007G2).

I don't know if I still have them (having had boxes stolen out of my garage years ago), but when they first were released, I bought both the CD and the songbook. :)

On the bad side, her stepfather David is going blind and her mother's mental facilities are going, and since both are dear friends, this news distresses me.  I last saw David and Nancy back in 2017, when they drove from North Carolina to Middletown to attend a party that DR Ginny and Richazrd had during my visit to Middletown.

Oh, no. :(

For the next several days I’m in the caramel corn business for a fundraiser here in our retirement community next Saturday.  Made my first batch yesterday and it yielded 8 salable snack packs, so I’ll need to make at least 3 more batches.  Off to pop some corn!

That sounds so good.  I actually haven't had homemade caramel corn in quite a while.

Google's AI says:

" Community chat refers to online group conversations for members of a specific community, such as within a Facebook group or using a platform like Mighty Networks. These chats facilitate real-time discussion on various topics related to the community. While platforms like Facebook have recently phased out their dedicated "Community Chats" feature in favor of "Messenger Communities," the underlying concept of group communication remains.  "

What can you tell me about this BK?

Spooky coincidence that he came up on your FB yesterday.

Not Andy himself, but his show:  Former DR Tomovoz and I were mentioning when the last time Tom and I saw each other in person was, and it was in 2006, when we'd all seen "The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun" at the Theater at St. Clements at NYMF. 

For reason I don't recall, Tomovoz wasn't able to come to the HHW gathering here that weekend.


I was there too.


I remember there was a random pop-up musical in the audience before the show

So sorry the answers aren’t coming easily, Jane. Hope your doc provides a good path forward.

Thank you.

Bed and Sofa is weird. I liked the cast so I did it. Some loved it, most didn't.

Finally finished the monster movie - I guess I just didn't see its greatness. Will start another movie after snack one.

I just learned that Joan Miro, a favorite artist, illustrated Canticle of the Sun by St. Francis of Assissi. Amazon didn’t have it, but I can get a used copy for a mere $2,470.

And probably still a bargain at twice the price! :o

To continue from last night about my Goofy watch:

The last time I needed to have the battery changed, the watch repair guy couldn't get the back back on! :o He said something about the gasket being the culprit, but looking at it now, it looks fine to my untrained eye.  I think I'll take it to Fred Meyer's jewelry department and see if they can get it back on now (and change the battery, if they can).

So, I took my Goofy watch to Fred Meyer and the woman there had the same problem.  She couldn't get the back back on. :P

Post by: George on September 21, 2025, 06:33:30 PM
She, however, thinks that it's the back itself and not the gasket (she removed that), so I'm going to try to find an actual watch repair shop and see what they say...if I can find one.

We're in the midst of staging rehearsals for Samson et Dalila. Today we had the dancers with us so we staged their numbers. That includes the famous Bacchanal. Staging an orgy scene is fun but tiring, even if we're not dancing.

Using this Tubi, I watched a music documentary, this about the Canadian band, the Bells, who had a huge early ‘70s hit with “Stay Awhile,” which was the film’s title. Interpersonal conflict between husband and wife, etc. Nothing special but ok.

You can always say you took part in an orgy. And you got to practice for it.
