Four!

[John G.]

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga do it on their new Cole Porter album. And Ella has recorded it.

[John G.]

Fred Astaire sang it to Rita Hayworth in You'll Never Get Rich.

[John G.]

And that concludes tonight's lecture.

[John G.]

On to other topics.

[John G.]

Going to get some spring stuff to plant tomorrow.

[John G.]

My plumbago didn't die after all. It's coming back from the roots.

[John G.]

It might help if I watered it.

[John G.]

Most plants like a little water every now and then.

[John G.]

Gratuitous post 99!

[John G.]

I still have a poinsettia in bloom. I haven't killed it from overwatering it, which is what I usually do.

[John G.]

I'm surprised.

[John G.]

My thumb is more black than green.

[John G.]

And that's it for my act tonight, folks.

[John G.]

Rest up, y'all, so you can post tomorrow.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

I expect those of you with dogs and cats know to avoid xylitol, a sugar substitute in peanut butter and other products.  Now it is also called Birch sugar.

Thanks for the info, Jane.  I knew about xylitol, but not Birch sugar.

Very good news, John.

Back from another LONG day. Cue-to-cue was actually going really well until my lighting designer screwed something up and spent thirty minutes on one cue.  And then during the run-through, which had its good moments, he was trying to fix something on the fly and basically kind of screwed up the final half of act two - but he can revert to the version he saved after the cue-to-cue. T After the run, which ran exactly two hours with intermission, I worked a few things and let everyone go by nine-thirty.

[bk]

Dinner was brought in - pizza and chicken nuggets, but I really didn't care for either - I had a tiny slice of pizza and one nugget - that was enough for me. So, because I basically haven't eaten all day, I just ordered my favorite pasta dish from the Cheesecake Factory and it will be here, hopefully sooner than later.

I will say, the show moves really well, looks good, and all. But for our final and only dress/tech we're adding in projections AND sound - SCARY. And then we have a preview. SCARY.

[George]

What a fortuitous turn of events, BK.

[George]

I remember auditioning for a musical review and getting cast.  I knew and was friends with just about everyone in the cast, as well as the director and the music director. 

[George]

At the first rehearsal, this woman showed up and the director and music director were surprised that she showed up.  She did audition, but it turns out that they accidentally called the wrong person!

[George]

Most fortunately, she decided to leave the show anyway after just a couple of rehearsals and they were able to call the person they really wanted.  I don't think either person knew what happened.

[TCB]

I am now listening to a very enjoyable biography of Buster Keaton by Dana Stevens. I don't think it covers his whole life, just his early years. But there's a lot of background to place his importance in cinema with what was happening in the early 20th century.

Oh good, do they talk about his dog, Tige, or his sister Mary Jane?

[TCB]

Rest up, y'all, so you can post tomorrow.

AMEN!

[TCB]

My thumb is more black than green.

Years ago, my girlfriend at the time, gave me a big cactus plant because she knew my thumb was black.

I killed it.

[TCB]

The other day at the pain clinic, Pete, my PA suggested I try Zheng Gu Shui for my pain

[TCB]

I asked if if he meant for my lower back, and he said that actually he meant for my ankle.  So, I ordered it from Amazon today.  I tried it this evening, but I can’t feel much difference.
