Good morning, all. Or rather, good afternoon, depending on your time zone.

Yes, the goodbyes are devastating. But don't forget the years of joy you have before that.

[ChasSmith]

I hereby announce my auspicious re-entry into the world of ... wait, what was it called?  Oh, live performance!

The beautiful Warner Theatre (where a couple of vixwomen came to see Ragtime) is presenting a one-night revival of its 2015 production of Assassins with most of their original cast. My friend Dan will be MD'ing again and I will be playing again, but we won't have the full orchestra this time, just 2 keys, bass, and drums.

It's a benefit for the theatre which sorely needs a benefit, and no one gets paid. The real kicker is the venue -- one of the remaining drive-in theaters in that area.

[ChasSmith]

Here's their blurb on the presentation:

We are excited to announce a special fundraiser performance for ONE NIGHT ONLY at the Pleasant Valley Drive-In on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 (rain date September 30th).

We are bringing back our acclaimed 2015 Nancy Marine Studio Theater production of Stephen Sondheim's ASSASSINS in a re-imagined, socially distant "car show" performance!

This encore presentation is directed by Katherine Ray with music director Dan Koch and features Warner stage alumni Matt Cornish, Ian Diedrich, Adam Fancher, John Farias, Michelle Funaro, Joe Harding, Tony Leone, Lyn Nagel, Josh Newey, Keith Paul, Steffon Sampson, Juliette Koch, Trevor Rinaldi, Noel Roberge, Jonathan Ross and Priscilla Squiers.

Tickets for this special event will go on sale next Wednesday, August 26, 2020 at 10:00AM. Spaces are limited! Only 175 cars will be admitted (including 20 VIP spots) - $100 per car with up to five passengers general admission or $250 per car with up to five passenger VIP.

ASSASSINS is presented through special arrangement with MUSIC THEATER INTERNATIONAL (MTI).

[ChasSmith]

This will be most interesting, to say the least.

That sounds very nice DR CHAS SMITH!

[Jrand74]

I like DR JOHN G's list......

Another TRUCK story - I left home at 4:30 a.m. in the dark to drive to work in a pick up truck.

When I got to work twenty minutes later - the camper shell on the back of the truck was nowhere to be seen.

I called home and a drive was taken along the route, but the shell was never found.  I though maybe it had been stolen in the night and I didn't notice in the dark.....but I can't remember.....

[John G.]

I like DR JOHN G's list......

Thank you, sir.

[John G.]

Leftover Skyline for lunch.

[John G.]

Congratulations, ChasSmith. Welcome back.

Last night I kept switching between CNN and New York PBS for the convention, and I'm quite angry: I never saw Hillary's or Gaby Giffords' appearances.  Instead I got a lot of commentators, and it really pisses me off.  What is it with these stations?  I wept when President Obama spoke.  I miss him.

I was watching the coverage on YouTube (I forget whose channel) and I saw the entire event.  They all gave great speeches, but Obama's was especially good.

Thursday afternoon greetings!  Sorry to have been E & T yesterday.  While I was putting the finishing touches on the dessert we took to Richard's brother's for dinner, I had a brainstorm for a paper-craft item to take to my sister-in-law.  I finished that just in time to spruce myself up before we had to leave for Cincinnati.  We had a delightful, socially-distant dinner on their beautiful deck and listened to Barack Obama and Kamala Harris on the car radio on the way home.

I have just received word that my one-woman play, MAUREEN O'HARA, is now available in both paperback and Kindle editions.

Enjoy!

Congrats, Druxy!

I'm up, I'm up - about six and a half hours of sleep - up at ten and dealing with emails and such.

DR Elmore, have you tried C-Span?

[Jane]

Yes, the goodbyes are devastating. But don't forget the years of joy you have before that.

I know but I have been saying no more for years.  After our dog Belle died I said no more after the cats are gone and then we got Echo.  Ten years later I said no more after Echo & Bogie, the last of the cats, died I said no more.  After Sherlock at 5 years old I truly am broken.

I also have sooo many injuries from these pets, especially all the broken bones which are dog related 

[Jane]

When we can't go anywhere it is harder to be home without a cat or dog.  At least we have 3 dogs in the neighborhood we play with.

[Jane]

This will be most interesting, to say the least.

Enjoy the experience.

That is what Keith said after watching this morning.  I will watch later today.

Obviously not.

[John G.]

 Mom didn’t care for CSPAN last night because she didn’t know anybody. But even when she knew them, she didn’t recognize them.

[John G.]

She had been asking about Chris Christie, and he was on ABC spewing racist nonsense about how Michelle came off as an angry black woman. Man, if that’s anger, his lily whiteness had better be protected. Maybe he’s never dealt with an intelligent woman before.
