Well, you've read the notes, the notes have both imploded and exploded, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently imploding and exploding at the same time.

And the word of the day is: RECUMBENT!

Maria · « **Reply #2 on:** May 19, 2006, 01:54:51 AM »

It's almost 2 a.m. and I should be in a recumbent position. But I was doing notes on typos, etc. in the production script. Gremlins always seem to get into this stuff. Anyway, the notes have been emailed and I'm going to bed.

Good morning all! Yes, I am on the bus on my way to school with the rest of the kiddies. Sometimes it really feels that way.

I forgot to say "Happy Birthday to Francois! I am so sorry!

So Happy Belated Birthday Wishes to Dear Francois!

I hope both DR TCB and Jennifer are feeling much better. When is your surgery, TCB?

And I love the new avitar, TCB. It's really nice.

Good morning, Michael S! Another early rise and shinner this morning!

As some of you know I have been battling some health problems which sometimes explains some of my lengthy absenses. Well I am winning the war.

This picture was taken in the Spring 2005 when I was in NYC for BK's book reading. I was very overweight.

Michael · « **Reply #6 on:** May 19, 2006, 04:23:17 AM »

Well with diet, exercise and medication since September 2005 I am winning battle and here I am 55 bound lighter.

And more to come.

Danise · « **Reply #7 on:** May 19, 2006, 04:29:05 AM »

Wow! Wonderful news, DR Michael! You look GREAT!

Danise · « **Reply #8 on:** May 19, 2006, 04:32:22 AM »

Well we're almost to my stop. Gotta sign off now.

Laters all! Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, all! No, I am not awake yet, and it's looking quite gray outside. I would prefer to stay in bed all day.

No trip beyond the apartment today; I've got some Mario Frangoulis work, some choral stuff, and some work on the new Toyland libretto to juggle here.

DRDanise, it's fun sharing your rides to and from school. What a great way to use your travel time!

DR MichaelShayne, fantastic! Good news about the diet and better news about your health.

TOD:
CD: Rebecca Luker "Leaving Home," Susan Egan "Coffee House," Guy Haines, The Bartered Bride. Mozart piano sonatas
DVD: Tristan & Isolde, Oliver Twist (Polaski), Arms and the Man
VCR: I'm packing it up for the summer while the intern's here, but THE DA VINCI LOAD sounds awfully enticing!

Opening next week, a thriller to shock your senses!

Guy Haines IS The Bartered Bride

Michael, congrats on the weight loss and the health news. You had begun the change when we had dinner many months ago at the diner on 42nd Street and 9th Avenue. Glad to see it's progressed so well.

Ben · « **Reply #12 on:** May 19, 2006, 04:53:38 AM »

Anthony returns to the city today before he leaves for Virginia. That will be on Sunday morning. We don't have any viewing plans or CD plans and I don't have any CDs at the office right now.

Hello Ben and Larry.

For those with long enough memories - This time last year I was in hospital. For a few reasons my view of the world and indeed of life and death have changed somewhat since then. HHW has had a positive effect with its links to so much goodness in this world. Many of us have been helped through some rough times in the knowledge that our friends are there for us.

Thank you Bk for making it all possible.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #15 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:00:36 AM »

TOTD: DVD - Washington Square (not to be confused with The Washignton Square Dance)

Music: Neil's Heavy concept Album (Nigel Planer)

Tomovoz · « **Reply #16 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:02:39 AM »

Was the sequel to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" - "The Battered Bride"?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #17 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:04:43 AM »

I just realised the double meaning there. Please yourself about which battered. (I was thinking flour etc!)

Tomovoz · « **Reply #18 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:05:30 AM »

Good morning DR Jack.

Good morning DR TOMovOZ!

Jrand75 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:10:32 AM »

I exploded last night when I arrived home at 7:30 pm and COMCAST was giving me neither Television OR computer service. Didn't get either until after 3 am....at least that's when I woke up and the modem lights were all blinking.

So...no W/G finale. No loss, I guess....I am only thankful that it didn't happen on Wednesday night!

Jrand75 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:11:49 AM »

Sound like the busy BK will have no time to be recumbant today - or this weekend.

Call Adam. You don't have anything else to do.

The concert last night sounds wonderful. LOGAN'S RUN....what a great way to open!!!

What was strange about PETER GUNN? Did they play it differently?

Jrand75 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:14:02 AM »

TOD:

DVD: Hitler's SS - with Miss Carroll Baker, John Shea, Bill Nighy, and Tony Randall tv miniseries that is not TOO bad.

CD: Il DIVO - Ancora

VHS: 1900 & XANADU

The final musical number in XANADU is one berserk mess, but it is a lot of fun to watch (even seeing the used sets from THE WIZ....).

Jrand75 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:14:20 AM »

Off to work today, hopefully I can check it now and then.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #24 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:55:47 AM »

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. Looks like I will be in meetings the next two and a half days. I am quite excited to spend my time in more meetings. Can you tell?

Perhaps I shall shock them all with my latest cd acquisition: Wing Sings Elvis.

FJL · « **Reply #25 on:** May 19, 2006, 06:20:04 AM »

They were talking on CNN that Cirque du soleil is going to be doing some sort of Elvis Presley-related show. This following the Beatles show that's about to open. I'm wondering if there'll be as much kvetching about jukebox circuses as there has been about jukebox musicals.

MBarnum · « **Reply #26 on:** May 19, 2006, 07:02:47 AM »

Media Check for the TOD:

CD:
Sounds of the World: "33 Artists from 28 Countries"

DVD:
I haven't watched a Bollywood movie in several weeks now and I am beginning to have withdrawals. Hopefully I can fix that this weekend.

DVR:
Probably catch up on the mega amounts of episodes of Lassie, What's My Line, and Most Extreme Elimination Challenge which are rapidly accumulating.

just a quick hi to my pals on HHW - Michael, you look mahvelous!!! Oz, yes, quite a year - and I agree that life and death look different once you get to know them...

Okay - so off into this wedding weekend. I notice how much more relaxed i have been up at the cabin, all alone with my stream and forest and the little animals... I love being among these family folk... but the hustle and bustle and driving and people and noise and traffic and conversation and appointments and and and... I am looking forward to these wedding events, and looking forward to heading north once again...

Good morning!

We had our rain last night, and so today is marvelously beautiful with cloudless blue skies and a nice breeze. Only in the 70s today, but we'll start to see a rise in temperatures tomorrow. I suspect summer is on the way!

Matt H. · « **Reply #29 on:** May 19, 2006, 07:41:37 AM »

Congratulations, DR Michael Shayne! Continued good wishes for improvement in health and inlosing more weight or at least maintaining what you've already accomplished.

The VERY hardest thing about losing weight is keeping it off. This is what makes the battle for me so frustrating. I can feel good about myself for awhile, but I know full well if I'm not continuously careful, the weight will come right back. And for someone who enjoys eating as much as I do (and all the wrong things), it's very frustrating.
