Good morning.

We lost a church member last night. Only 46 years old. Just collapsed.

It's going to be a pretty somber morning.

Will the Zoom event be available for later viewing by people who can't be there?
-
Good morning, all.
-
I have a matinee today and there's other music I must work on beforehand, so I will be scarce until this evening.
I'll be back in time to ZOOM.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I am staggering about this morning. The cats are now fed, I have my cpoffee, and I am happy, very happy to be off my feet.
-
I did sleep well last night. I had a strange dream that I had gone into a bofega for coffee ands got into a contretemps with the young lady about the cost. And where are the rolls I usually buy as well? All I remember is throwing dollar bills and change around ther counter,
-
DR Jrand75, I believe the play you saw was Alan Ayckbourn's A Chorus of Disapproval. I've never read it, but I saw the movie adaptation with Jeremy Irons and Anthony Hopkins. The play within the play is not Brecht's Threepenny Opera but its 1728 inspration The Beggar's Opera.
And while I'm on that, let me recommend Peter Brook's wonderful film version with Sir Laurence Olivier, Dorothy Tutin, and Stanley Holloway, additional dialogue by Christopher Fry and music arranged by Arthur Bliss. From info in Benjamin Britten's collected letters, I gather the original intention was to use his 1948 score for The English Opera Group, but I suspect his wonderful, but very modern arrangements, scared off the production. The BBC video from 1963 is also interesting and well done.
-
I'm taking it easy today, mostly working on the ballet and resting up. I want to attend the Zoom so I don't want to stress myself out today.
-
Good morning, all.
-
My sympathies, Laura.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Catching up with laundry (endless!) and emails.
-
And posts, of course.
-
It goes without saying.
-
But say it, I did.
-
I said the sooth.
-
There must be a way off page 1.
-
If page 2 started approaching, that might be a way off page 1.
-
Once we're on page 2, no one will be able to say we didn't reach page 2.
-
PAGE 2 (and before 10 a.m. Eastern time)

Thanks, everyone. We are such a small congregation that we are all family.
-
Thanks, everyone. We are such a small congregation that we are all family.
I want to add my condolences!

Would anybody be able to make an audio of the HHW Zoom session, that is, if it won't be possible to have a video version of it?
-
Condolences DR LAURA.
-
DR ELMORE YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT!
A CHORUS OF DISAPPROVAL!
HA!
-
Happy Sunday everyone! On this week's Broadway Radio Show, I chat with writer/composer Zack Zadek about his new musical Deathless, the story of a family dealing with loss and grief, which also tackles thought-provoking questions about mortality. If you could take one pill that would allow you to live forever, would you? Zack and I have a fascinating, uplifting conversation about how we live our lives and, of course, there's plenty of songs from the new studio cast recording of Deathless as well.
-
From Bruce,
These pills I take are amazing for fixing the double vision and speech issues, but they are really messing with my innards - I feel weird inside and it's just unpleasant. Worth it for the fixes and hopefully holding other problems at bay, and I think it may improve when I start to do the final thing they want me to do with the IV drip. That will be in January.
Bruce, if I wasn't already on pantoprazole (Protonix) my rheumatologist would have put me on it prednisone can cause stomach and gastrointestinal issues, including ulcers and internal bleeding. You had issues before going on prednisone, add.
Maybe there is something your doctor can recommend you take that will help you that works with
Myasthenia Gravis.
-
DR George, thank you for the vibes.
-
And the good for Keith.
-
From George,
At some point soon, I need to put the faucet protectors on the outside faucets of my house.
Definately ;D
We only have one and it has been on for some time now.
-
I've never seen the bag style of cover. Are the ones that don't fit new covers? I'm wondering why they suddenly don't fit. I reuse ours every year.

I'm up, I'm up - probably six and a half hours of sleep.

Lots to do before our soiree. Do have friends come.

I'm gonna put it on Facebook but only by invite - they'll have to PM me for the link.

My beloved George, the Stourbridge Station cat, gave Annabelle & Thatch a nice push for sales with Amazon.co.uk!

Fabulous!
Fingers crossed for book sales from that!
-
I've invited some Facebook folks, and some friends and fellow authors, too, so we'll see who shows up. If I can figure out how to film it I can do it, but I'm not so great at this stuff.
-
Condolences to Laura.
-
Had the telephonic call and shall now be on my way to the mail place. I think I'll order a sandwich before I leave so I can eat that not too close to the Zoom.

It doesn't just suddenly not fit. I'm just noticing that there might be other options because of the was the building was designed.

Yesterday I watched a doc, DePalma, where Brian DePalma talks mostly uninterrupted for the whole run time. I like that he talked about every one of his films. Too often these things skip big chunks.

Very interesting. I looked at the photo with the gap again, and then looked at our cover. Sure enough we have a gap as well. Our cover was given to us by the condo staff to use, and is probably what most people here have. If we ever need to replace it we will look at buying the bag.

Elmore, I gave a copy of Annabelle and Thatch to my friend Gail for her birthday last night. She loved it. Can’t wait to start, she said. Her sisters, also cat lovers, were very interested, too.
-
My friend Jason just brought me two plates, one loaded down with turkey, oyster stuffing, mased potatoes, sweet potatoes,and cranberry sauce. The other late has three slices of pie, lemon meringue, pecan, and apple or pumpkin - I can't remember.

No takers on Facebook, at least not yet. Their algorithms basically make it impossible for most people to even see the post until it's too late.

I did not know or had forgotten that BK coulda been the Lembeck character on One Day At a Time. I always found Lembeck one of those actors that was more likable than believable. But then, my first exposure to him was on Saturday mornings when he was Kaptain Kool of Kaptain Kool & the Kongs.

Good afternoon!

Sunday evening greetings! Thought I’d better say HI here before showing up at the Zoom and being suspected of being a troll. All is well here, but I’ve been so busy I didn’t even know about DR Elmore’s lovely e-card until I saw the reminder this morning.

We hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 10 people, 3 of whom were our grandchildren. It was their first visit since we moved into this home 2 years ago. They (and their parents, of course) stayed in a nearby Air B&B and we had a wonderful time with them Thursday and Friday. They had planned to stay until Saturday, but left about 4:30 Friday in order to beat the snowpocalypse to Chicago. They made it - whew!
-
See y’all soon on the Zoom!
-
lol DR GINNY.....remember her?

Less than one hour until the ZOOM

It sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving. Too bad they had to leave early, and great that they made it home before the snowpocalypse.

So sorry I had to drop off early. What fun!

I got summoned for dinner and had to leave early too, but much delight was had!

A few of us stuck it out to the bitter end. So, about an hour and 45 minutes. It was great seeing everyone.
-
That was FUN!
-
Naturally, none of my loyal and true friends showed up, just as they have never shown up for 132 Kritzerland shows or other stuff I've done.

On our visits to the grandparents from the time I was a really young boy, we passed that cemetery every time. We were told if we held our breath from the time was began passing by to the time we were past it, it would bring good luck. To this day, I always hold my breath until I'm past it.

Had a pulled pork sandwich from the usually reliable Boneyard Bistro. Bottom bun was soaking wet and couldn't even be picked up - AND completely burnt - black, baby, black. Top bun wasn't soaking wet but was also burned. The pulled pork, slaw, and sauce were fine. Baked beans were fine. Second pill was fine.
-
Fine.
-
Fine is always important when you dine.
-
Restaurants need to toe the line.
-
Pickled in brine.
-
And mine all mine.
-
Let's sing songs from Nine.
-
Or smell the scent of pine.
-
Or watch a film with Andrew Prine.
-
Or a film directed by Richard Quine.
-
Or watch a face light up and shine.
-
To the music of Jule Styne.
-
Or the Mama Rose of a Daly named Tyne.

Have kisses sweeter than wine.

I watched a short clip from GORP. Well, there is an 8 minute sequence of clips on YouTube under the title “Worst scenes in movie history” although this seems to be many scenes from GORP. Though each of them, in their own way, could be among the worst scenes in movie history.
At no point could I comprehend what was happening.
-
BK didn’t get to go to theatrical productions with his folks except for a couple occasions, yet he was allowed to see movies freely. Growing up in a small, Indiana town, we had one movie theater, and our chance to see live theater was high school productions and a theater group that my dad eventually got involved with.
-
Why did JohnG miss our Zoom? We sure missed him. Perhaps the reason will be revealed.
-
I remember the high school two towns over that some of my cousins attended had what seemed to my young eyes to be Broadway-caliber productions. Their “Pippin” was first rate.
-
Imagine a high school trying to put on Pippin today. Scandal!
-
My kids got to walk to a nearby “secondary school” in Canada for a show on Friday. Great! What was the show! SpongeBob the Musical. Sigh.
-
Page 7!
-
Not as heady as Pippin, in any case.
-
In kindergarten, I did get to take a schoolday bus trip to Chicago to see the Nutcracker at McCormick Place. That was cool.
-
Otherwise, the closest I got to professional theatre was TV spots for A Chorus Line, Camelot, Évita… when they came to Chicago.
-
Every kid at my school knew this A Chorus Line touring ad by heart. It was a meme before memes.
