Along with it was something similar called "Dreamed Japan".

He has our day up on fb. The video is from the Japanese portion since Keith felt it best captured the feel of the experience.

Keith's description of our day.

We spent a mesmerizing morning at the Atelier des Lumieres. An amazing digital extravaganza splashed across a huge warehouse-esque walls and floors. The exhibit showcased Van Gogh and 18th-century Japanese art. Terribly unique, totally immersive! The afternoon found us on the Place de la Concord and a stroll through the Tuileries--ultimately ending up at Notre Dame, which is under a state of feverish repair and heavy police presence.

Jane, I don't recognize him.

I didn't think you would. It has been a lot of years. It is Ron Baum's younger brother Ricky.

Hmm, Al Pacino never complained once when we did this "Shylock (to the tune of Skylark)" video tribute way back. Actually, was he ever even on set?

I liked Pacino's film of The Merchant of Venice much more than Kevin Kline's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

You mean to say you don’t think Calista Flockhart is the greatest Shakespearean actress of the age?

Fifty years ago while were were enjoying our rehersal dinner Natalie Wood was in the room next to us, in the same room where the rehearsal had been, marrying her second husband.

I thought the nadir was Michelle Pfeiffer's Titania.

Oops! I was wondering but I just went by what the caption said!

Well, that was a bit of a lull.

And now, I'm leaving work and heading home. I really need to balance my checkbook. It's been quite a long time since I've done that. I've been checking my balance online, so I know I'm not going to be withdrawn anytime soon, but I need to make sure that nothing's amiss with my account.

Be back later.

Back to Act II of South Pacific. Gee, Josh Logan has a lot of scantily clad men in this movie. Who'd a thunk it.

Got an odd Texas cookbook from the library yesterday called Thank You for Smoking. It's not just barbecue. The author is smoking lentils, almonds, granola, even the cherries for an Old Fashioned.

I'm not going that far, but the recipes look good without the smoke.

Work today was no fun again. Constant meetings and changes of long-established stuff. Boring.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** May 30, 2019, 08:07:48 PM »

And I didn't get work done. But I got a lot of work done.

Just one of those things. Tomorrow will be more fun.

At least there's the symphony tomorrow night.

Had fun at the dentist today. He wants to replace an ancient filling. So, I have to go back.

I survived the three-hour South Pacific. I think the script went haywire trying to include war scenes. But the movie overall is an effective document of its time.

Interesting to see among the credits that Thelma Oliver was one of the "Negro Women."

John G. · « **Reply #88 on:** May 30, 2019, 08:48:11 PM »

Was she part of Fosse/Verdon?
