Good morning, all!

I slept well until the 3:30 bathroom break. Followingthat, Stella came for a cuddle, followed by a chilly Annabelle who wanted un der the blankets to warm up, then Thatch showed up to be tickled, teased, and cuddled. Then Annabelle returned, followed by a noisy Thatch who seemed, from the noise and his lamentation and wailing,to be tangled in the window blinds. At that point, it was 5:20, and I decided to get up.

DR George, I was sorry to hear of the passing of Mark Milano, whom I knew from the Cast Recording List. I was not a fan of his; he once pestered me for months over an obscure musical theater citation I no longer remember. At one point he posted on his YouTube channel a number of MGM movie clips in which he replaced the dubbed voice of a singer with the actress' actual voice, for example Ava Gardner in Show Boat. His outrage when the copyright holders forced him to delete the segments was loud and long and ridiculous.
-
BK, I'm happy last night's preview went well.
-
DR John G, the Facebook video made me laugh. Annabelle says she should be starring, not Thatch.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I realized I'm familiar with Mark Milano through other clips and dubbings he's issued, a couple of which I think I downloaded.
I hoped I wasn't conflating two people, but DR Elmore's story pretty much clinches it.
-
Vibes to BK & Co. for another op'nin', another show!
This one has me intrigued and I hope we'll get to see video.
Weird is my middle name, so bring it on!
-
Good morning.

TOD
Watched Antonioni's The Passenger last night, and will continue with commentaries and extra features about it in the coming days. My shameful confession: this was my first time to see it. I have no excuse.
I'll also be - (finally!) - listening to the new John Wilson Carousel recording that's been sitting here all this time.

-
Opening night vibes for MR BK & Co.

I didn't get in on the conversation last night, so I will say that I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about ten years ago.

It may be a stretch
-

-
It's not that close
-
but also not that far
-
But a goal worth reaching
-
can be a goal worth reaching
-
With a little effort
-
It can be done.

PAGE TWO!

God, I screwed up that post!

From DR Singdaw,
LOVED that winter scene of the 3 birds.
Thank you.
-
DR George I'm glad you posted the photo with the shirt you own cuz I didn't see it in that link. Nice shirt.
-
I did see the photos on the FB link.
-
From DR Jrand,
I had a lovely visit with two of my sisters today.
Such fun.
Comparing our memories is most enlightening.
That's nice, and it is interesting how childhood memories from siblings can vary.
-
DR George, thanks for the vibes.
-
George, thanks for the congrats last night to Keith and for the "nice" regarding the birds.

My greedy brother Macbeth's memories seemed to have morphed into being that everyone else was rotten, and he was the only good one - conveniently resulting in he and Lady Joann Macbeth his wife trying to steal our parents' entire estate. Funny how convenient that can be. :)

More broken-leg vibes for BK and company!
-
I'm up, I'm up - about seven and a half hours of sleep.
-
Computer is doing an update.
-
I missed the Mark Milano died post - I saw his name but skipped the post because I, like elmore, had several run-ins with him. Still, sorry to hear it.
-
Uh oh, computer restart - back shortly.
-

Ditto!
-
This is not my day for posting! I blame Donald trump's plans to invade
Poland Greenland.
-
Good afternoon.
-
Broken leggings for the big LA crew!
-
Everything Trump is saying is prime BS and is designed to have everyone not talking about Epstein. It will only get worse in terms of that distraction. Five new things a day.
-
I saw a woman at the market today wearing a big embossed t hat >:(
-
Last night I stupidly let my iPhone update to the iOS 26.2. Now I can't send a new text message to more than one person.
-
A search tells me it is a known bug.
-
I am seeing complaints about this as far back as August, so why the heck are they still using it without fixing the problem!

Some of you may know who my friend Kurt Gänzl is. When I first met him in the 1990s at The Drama Book Shop, he was a London-based writer and leading operetta/British musical theatre historian whose books I really treasure. Now he is retired and living in New Zealand with his partner and cats. He just sent me this review of Annabelle & Thatch:

Oh, my. Small world that you knew a random person who also owned my shirt. :)

My iPhone texting problem has been solved :)

Or maybe 30 years ago.
-
I may watch Pillion in a few minutes.
I will certainly have a full repor on the film

I am so excited for MR BK & CO.
Opening nights.....I remember them.....most wonderful and mysterious....what will happen....what will the response be. All of the work comes down to this!
As Cole Porter so aptly wrote.
