It's starting to get a little colder in the evenings, but not cold enough to worry about anything.

Last night was hell.  As soon as I lay down, my left leg began to throb very badly and continued to do so all the rest of the night.  I did doze, and I actually had a few dreams.  In one Gurjeet was telling me "you only have one session approved."  In another, I was working on a production of Candide.  In another, I was in Oxford, Ohio, with a Miami University production of My Fair Lady, and I was in a market trying to purtchase a bottle of cranberry juice and a copy of the old New York Native newspaper.

Now that I'm up and dressed, I feel okay.  I'm quite awake at the moment, so I'm not going back to bed.

Nice visit yesterday with my step-son, who is in Austin for 2-3 days.

I haven't seen him for over 10 years.

He lives in Seattle.

Kitty cleanup went well.  I'm moving very cautiously today and taking extra care not to upset any part of my body.

The other night we watched the Alastair Sim version of A Christmas Carol, which is quite wonderful.  I thought the young lady playing Fred's wife was very phony in a "grande dame of the theatre" mode, but Alastair Sim remains the best Scrooge ever.  Much as I liked George C. Scott and Patrick Stewart in the role, Sim seems the Scrooge to transition from nasty miser to happy philanthropist.

Tonight we'll watch the 1975 BBC version with Michael Hordern, an actor I've loved since he played Elizabeth Taylor's befuddled father in Zeffirelli's The Taming of the Shrew, as Scrooge.

Wasn't that the type of lens  Lucy was filmed through in "Mame?"

In Jerry Herman stories, they're linking some of the numbers from the "Mame" movie among other clips.  Taken one at a time, songs that seemed bizarre watching the movie seem pretty entertaining.

I guess they're more 30-seconds-or-less segments of the songs, but the question is still:  Would we have been better off with no MAME movie at all?

In its day, IIRC, "we" seemed to think that if the Lucy film had not been made, someone else would have played it in a movie.  Looking back, maybe if it hadn't been Lucy's passion, most likely not.

If no one else has a topic, maybe that can be a question with so few Jerry Herman shows filmed: 

Would the legacy of that show's score  have been better off with no MAME movie at all?

I think so. Except for Robert Preston, nothing on the soundtrack sounds lifelike.
