I forgot to post earlier.

A healthy, happy and prosperous near year to all of the Hebrew faith at HHW

Thank you.

Tonight I have my first blocking rehearsal for THE CRUCIBLE.

~~~Rehearsal Leg Breakage Vibes for DR JRand!!~~~

[Jrand75]

*And, seriously, I'm so glad that I was able to meet up with my Auntie Ronnie and Bruce. We had a great time catching up, and since Bruce is a very fine pianist, we also had a bunch of things to discuss too. And I need to make sure to give them more notice before the next time I come up. It would be nice to see their house in Brookline again, as well as their place out on Gloucester. It truly was a very happy reunion.

Nice!

TCB's TOD:

Peter O'Toole -- Take your choice, "Lawrence of Arabia" or "The Stunt Man"
Anybody but Dustin Hoffman for "The Rain Man" (That would be Tom Hanks for "Big," Gene Hackman for "Mississippi Burning," Max Von Sydow for "Pelle the Conqueror" or Edward James Olmos for "Stand and Deliver")

DR TCB - THE CRUCIBLE is not part of the PCPH line up.  It is part of the celebration of the 175th Anniversary of DePauw University...and some have been invited back to participate.

I don't know how I rated mention in the linked article, but there I am in the first paragraph.

Tonight we are blocking in Kerr Theater.....INTO THE WOODS is rehearsing in Moore Theater, where we will eventually perform....and which I have not been inside of since way back in the 20th century....

I have now had to modify this post FOUR times because of my terrible typing and grammar.

BK, I still think you would be a week early if you go to Glendale tomorrow night for TITANIC.

Happy Jewish New Year....I am off....so to speak...

Good morning afternoon evening!

[Doug R]

Had a fun ride today on the new London cable car which goes high over the River Thames.

Was this your lovely view?

That's it!

[ChasSmith]

I am back and very tired, but with a great couple of days behind me.

On Friday I was pleased to discover upon checking in at the quaint Howe Caverns Motel that I was able to connect to their wi-fi effortlessly.  And then I was shocked, shocked, to discover that, once connected, I could not go anywhere on the Internet.  No DNS or something.  Apparently they've had this problem, intermittently, "for some time".  Oy!

So, a forced couple of days as on another planet, but things were busy enough that, on my end, I was probably better off for it.  Nevertheless, sorry for being involuntarily E&T.

Looks like fun.

[ChasSmith]

Just spent what seemed like an hour trying to get all caught up here.  But ketchup I did!

Noooo, I think I would pass on that ride.

BK - No, not in L.A.  I saw that LUV at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami.  We were living in Fort Lauderdale during the 1960s and I occasionally took the bus (Greyhound variety) down there to see a few things.

We have found connecting to be the difficult part of the process.  Do you have photos to share?

[ChasSmith]

To further ketchup, another note of congrats to DR TCB on the 19th anniversary!

[George]

Is this what

MOS Test

means? Mean Opinion Score?

Someone asked yesterday and it was never answered so I looked around and found this. I don't know if it's correct but it makes sense.

I asked the question...thanks for the info.

That's great, Jose!

And I am home from Toyland. I finished proofing the BALLET BALLADS and wrote an arrangement of the "Kentucky Wassail" for the Christmas show. The Man from Philadelphia iscoming in tomorrow. I hope the meeting isn't too tense. Or intense.

[John G.]

Just finished "The Deep Blue Sea." Not exactly the cheeriest movie on the block, but the Samuel Barber music used as the score was wonderful, so were the performances. I really got sucked into the story, too.

Good Evening!

Well... I had intended to take a ride around the Charles River Basin when I headed out earlier, but then I received and invitation from the owner/founder of Toscanini's Ice Cream, Gus Rancantore, to come pay a visit to the store and him.

Was this the Thomas Jane movie or the Rattigan play?  I am exhausted. I may be in bed in another thirty minutes!

[JoseSPiano]

So... I biked back into Cambridge to Toscanini's, and met up with Gus. He gave me a couple of samples as well as a "backstage" tour of their operation. I even got to try some flavors that had just been developed and were "ripening" up. He then tipped me off to a coffee place nearby, dwelltime, which I then went to for a latte and some cookies.

All in all, it was a great visit to "The Best Ice Cream In The World" (at least according to the New York Times).

[JoseSPiano]

And then I got back on my bike and biked along the Charles River... Crossed one bridge... Crossed back across another... Then looped around once again before settling on one of the small docks on the Boston side of the river where I watched the sun set over Cambridge. -Beautiful!

[JoseSPiano]

And in a little while, I will head back into Cambridge via the "T" to have a late dinner at Craigie On Main. At 9:00pm on Sundays, the dinner menu is "Chef's Whim". I'm excited!
