I guess you could call this a new year’s resolution:

I spent much of yesterday reviewing and relearning what I’d half-assedly learned about Finale a couple of years ago, with the aim of carrying on and achieving some level of competence at it. It went both better and worse than I expected, because now there are aspects of it that make some sense, while others stop my brain dead in its tracks. I’ll do a little more on it today, but a little each day from now on will suffice. There’s no race to the finish. I just don’t want to lose it again because I’ve decided it really is something I can use here and there.

Sorry to bore those who have no idea what I’m blathering on about. DR Elmore will, and he’s probably shaking his head and taking pity on me as he reads this.

Congrats to DR JOHN G on his millstone...

And to DR JEANNE on being in the Terrible Twos.

Did DR VIXMOM get her tattoo? I do not have such a thing on my person....

Vibes for MR BK for the M/G for the show and for the writing.

Terrible report from DR TCB....someone certainly was NOT paying attention!

Kitty cleanup went very easily. Stella is trying to decide if she wants a bit of an oatmeal raisin cookie or not. She decided she did.

DR elmore dogs & cats should not eat raisins.

The Fun Home thing is amazing to me - it was put one someone's Twitter and B'way World saw it and posted it - there has not been one official announcement about it anywhere, and I've been looking. So, until there is, it's just someone posting on Twitter.

George, thanks for the email.

I shall now be on my way to the theater for a meet-and-greet, then a bite to eat, then the matinee.

We went to brunch with friends this morning and had a very nice time. The restaurant had excellent scones. I was disappointed in the bread pudding french toast.

Chart Number 3 is finished! One to go.

Yes, I know, and I replied to your email of this link. I honestly don't know if Stella ate that bit of cookie or not, but if she did, she's still alive.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #45 on:** January 05, 2020, 12:53:38 PM »

I shouldn't have given it to her this morning. I wasn't thinking, and I know better.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #46 on:** January 05, 2020, 12:55:41 PM »

While I worked on the chart today, I listened to all of the "Lost In Bostons" and "Unsung Musicals." Lordy, they were good! I love Dee Hoty's "Have A Memory on Me" and Debbie Gravitte's "Hero" still reduced me to tears.

"Fun Home run for Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal and a team of creative collaborators are working on a film version of the celebrated musical Fun Home, based on illustrator Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir about her bittersweet relationship with her father.

Fun Home featured lyrics by Lisa Kron and music by Jeanine Tesori. It was developed at the Public Theater in New York and won five Tony Awards, including best musical, when it transferred to Broadway. In 2018 it had a critically acclaimed, sold-out run at the Young Vic."

I figured she was ok but wanted to make sure you knew about grapes & raisins. I know dogs that have eaten chocolate & were fine & others that got very sick on just a little piece.

Before I knew of the dangers of onions we had a cat that ate small if they fell on the floor & he was fine.

Maybe they could re-dub it saying it was supposed to be terrible.
"Terrible Cats" scans just like Jellicle Cats. it could work.

"Terrible Songs for Terrible CATS"
Tune of “Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats”

Did you hope for the worst
When their trailer appeared?
Had you thought C-G-I
Would look better than that?
Did you see it online
And then text that it’s weird?
Did you think every cat
Was a terrible cat?

Well, now -
Terrible's here and terrible's good
Go have fun at a terrible "Cats:"
Will an audience grow
As we look at the stats
Make a hit of a terrible "Cats"
(repeat chorus now and forever)

or maybe not.

Thanks, George!
Even the "Mame" movie doesn't FEEL quite as upsetting now as it once did. I think then we were assuming it meant another "Mame" wouldn't be made, that it was stopping an Angela Lansbury "Mame" maybe.

FJL · « **Reply #56 on:** January 05, 2020, 03:55:37 PM »

But being real, if that "Mame" hadn't been made, there probably wouldn't have been any "Mame" movie at all. It's not like anyone even cares enough to do a "Mame" for TV.

FJL · « **Reply #57 on:** January 05, 2020, 03:55:48 PM »

And these days, it's really easy to watch the scenes that work (to individual tastes) for us on YouTube.

Great fun, Fred.

Jerry Herman tried for years to get Cher to do it.
