I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep. Must get ready and then be on my way to the mail place and then rehearsal - we'll now be missing four cast members less than a week before tech.

Windy City vibes, ChasSmith.

That's a different show, John.

I'm glad you got that, George.

I have returned to A Tale of Two Cities. It's most bizarre. The box refers to a film version with Dirk Bogarde. This is actually a TV production with Wendell Corey. It was produced on The Plymouth Playhouse and all of the original commercials are included.

Judith Evelyn makes a most deliciously wicked Mme. Defarge.

My favorite version of A Tale of Two Cities is the Franch Revolution bicentennial production of the BBC-PBS, with Jean-Pierre Aumont as Dr. Manette.

Would love to see it. I wonder if the library has it.

Not at the library. But they have the musical version. Ouch.

I went to Park Row No. 1 in Edgefield for my lunch.

I had a bowl of chicken and dumplings. Quite tasty.

It has a great cast. I love it! I love Anna Massey as Miss Pross.

I just watched the 2018 film of Chekhov's The Sea Gull, starring Annette Bening, which is one of my favorite plays. It needs to be seen on a big screen in a dark theatre. It wasn't bad, because Bening plays the awful woman wonderfully - conceited, narcissistic, cheap, stingy,, manipulative - and it's a hard part because a lot of actresses look for ways to make the audience like them. The only other names in the cast I recognized were Brian Dennehy as her dying brother, Elizabeth Moss as the bitter, alcoholic Masha, and Mare Winningham as her mother, Paulina, who's having an affair with the doctor played by Jon Tenney. I had forgotten how much frustrated love there is in the play.

I enjoyed parts of the movie, as I recall. But nothing will cap seeing Joanne Wooward on stage.

My cellphone tells me that I have a missed call. From Ireland.

Perhaps the leprechauns are calling to tell me that they found my missing pot o' gold?

From Ron:

Quote

I know. Until the house is out of probate (meaning no claims have been made and its ownership is legalized), NOBODY GETS NOTHING because it hasn't been settled yet.

Do not yield on this. When you know EXACTLY how much money you have to actually portion out to the heirs, they get nothing.

I agree with Ron. Often I know people who have held back a final payment just to be sure there weren't any surprises.

I was awakened this morning by the telephone.

When I said, "Hello", an assertive male voice said, "Barbara?"

I took a beat and then brusquely asked the man if I sounded like a "Barbara".

He said, "No. No message. Have a nice day." He then hung up.

My mother was Barbara. This man was not an acquaintance and had no idea that she would be 92 if she were alive.

If he had asked to speak to Mrs. Pulliam, I would have been more kind in my reply to him.

I think your response was perfect.

TOD:

I liked to do the dances that I saw on American Bandstand - and of course my sister and I were featured dancers on a local version of the show for about four weeks.

Our career was nipped in the bud when the host suggested that my sister needed to wear her skirts much shorter.

As we headed out for an afternoon walk it began to drizzle. I am very glad I ran back inside for my raincoat. It quickly began to hail, and then it was raining & hailing (frozen rain?) at the same time.

Well, Murder for Two is over and was very good! The two performers (one male, one female) both played the piano and sang and acted quite well! I'm very glad I got to usher for it.

Now, I need to go to Costco for my sister, then I'll go to my mom's to help her with her product return (if it's not too late), then I'll be off to work the sound board, then we'll have the cast party! It's gonna be a full day, for sure!
