I ate a little bit of candy to assuage my sweet tooth. And that will be that for today's meal. More than reasonable, calorie-wise, but not what I wanted at all. I think that after tomorrow night's cabaret show I shall try to go somewhere fun.

Yesterday I got the e-mail about diapers; today I got one regarding my new power chair, at no cost to me.

And AARP claims they don't sell their mailing lists.

Yes Omaha has steaks, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever had an Omaha steak. They have them in Iowa too,

We actually had a very nice "retreat" today. Instead of being in the office working we spent the day at one of our co-workers' home. It was very laid back, and we spent a lot of time eating; but basically we remained focused on work issues.

Just finished watching SYTYCD- Spoiler alert!

Holy cow were we shocked by one of the eliminations. And so was everyone else by the look of things.

Earlier today Rodzinski and I had an early dinner/snack which consisted of cocktails, frickles, and fried shrimp all from Spanky's. Very yummy. But I will have to work extra hard at the gym.

Right now, I think I am going to retire to the bedroom so that I can lounge in its air conditioned coolness.

I just watched the show too. Frankly, with the exception of one of the dancers eliminated tonight, I think any of the remaining dancers being sent home would be a shock. It's just been such a great group of contestants this season. I frankly don't want to see anyone else go home after tonight. They're all just that good.

Hmmm.... Frickles! Love my friend pickles! -And the ones from Spanky's are very good. *Did you try their S'Mores dessert? That's one bowl of gooey goodness!

...And during our break tonight, I had thought of heading to "A Salt & Battery" in The Village for dinner, but with the heat and humidity, I actually lost my appetite for hot, fried food. -Never thought that would happen. Truly must have been the heat.

DR Jose, do you want to meet in the Village tomorrow for din before your show? How much is the ticket again?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #166 on:** July 27, 2006, 07:32:40 PM »

As for the Topic of the Day...

I think I've seen most, if not all, of the Bond films. However, none of them particularly stick in my mind. I've always enjoyed them, but they're not something I've 'concentrated' on.

As for my favorite Bond... Sean Connery hands down. He looked the best in swim trunks.

As for theme songs... "Goldfinger" - Loves those horns!; "Nobody Does It Better"; "For Your Eyes Only".

Hmm... I have to be at the theatre around 6:15 to go over some stuff... So, we could meet at 5:00-ish for dinner if that's not too early for you. The show will be done by 8:15, so we could always sup afterwards too.

*And I need to know your seating preference so that I can put a "Reserved" sign down on a seat for you.

As for the price of the ticket... You will be my guest this time, DR elmore.

**And be sure to dress "lightly"... (see one of my upcoming posts).

I am looking forward to meeting Cillaliz - I gather she will be calling me tomorrow.

vixmom · « **Reply #172 on:** July 27, 2006, 07:46:33 PM »

Anybody like to give me a quick update about what I should know since it will take me a while to catch up... births? weddings? Lotto wins? No bad news I hope.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #173 on:** July 27, 2006, 07:47:03 PM »

Oh, yes.. As for tonight's performance of Dear Edwina...

We spent the afternoon doing a run-thru and taking care of the tech elements - which, thankfully, are very minimal for the show. Unfortunately, due to the extreme heat and humidity outside, the A/C system inside the theatre basically broke half-way through the run-through. At first I thought I was heating up from nerves, but then when I "felt" that my keyboard was starting to 'sweat' - and when I looked at the cast "drenched" on stage - I realized that something was wrong. Well, as soon as the run was finished, we did indeed find out that the A/C system got a bit overloaded and shut down. Thankfully, we had some fans, and as soon as they turned off the stage lights, the temp in the theatre dropped a good 15 degrees.

The A/C was back up and working by the time the performance started, but since it had gone out for a time earlier, the theatre never fully "recovered". *They're leaving the A/C on overnight tonight, and, hopefully, that will help retain enough chill in the air for tomorrow night's performance. However...

We had a wonderful show tonight. We had an almost-full audience, and everyone's energy was running high. And, technically, tonight's performance was only our second run-through of the show, and for a second run, it went very well. -I even felt very comfortable and confident (almost a bit surprisingly so).

Just two more to go...

*And from what I understand, tomorrow night is sold out, and Saturday's matinee is very near sold out too.

vixmom · « **Reply #175 on:** July 27, 2006, 07:59:36 PM »

and plateau congratulations to BK!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #176 on:** July 27, 2006, 08:00:53 PM »

*And I have to say that I'm enjoying working with everyone. We basically put this presentation together in about 20 hours, and for 20 hours... Well, I can only imagine what we could get done with another 20 hours.

And the piece itself is very smart and fun. It truly is a "Kids Musical" for children and adults. Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich have accomplished that rare feat: writing a children's show that does not talk down to children, and manages to entertain the adults in the audience too.

-And Marcy and Zina have been there to help guide all of us along the way. And Zina's helpful musical hints have been invaluable to me - especially since I've also just learned this show in the past 20 hours of rehearsals like everyone else has. -Well, I was even out of rehearsal for ten of those hours!

*And I really am feeling like I need to make a donation to the Northwestern University Alumni Association. Yet another alumnus, Jen Bender, our director, took a chance and brought me on board for this project. And it turns out my name came up when she was having dinner with fellow alumni, Brad Haak (my conductor for Lestat), and Curtis Moore (the composer of Triangle) a few weeks ago. I know I've always like Chicago for some reason.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #177 on:** July 27, 2006, 08:03:03 PM »

BK - Congrats on reaching your new plateau!

* I wonder if it's possible to keep track of just "how fast" you've reached plateau? -Any statisticians out there?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #178 on:** July 27, 2006, 08:05:26 PM »

DR PennyO - Congrats to you too!

*Oh... It looks like I may be heading out LA-LA-Land for a week or two in early November. If you want to do another reading of the revised and updated version of Jewish Thighs... ;-) -I'll keep you posted.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #179 on:** July 27, 2006, 08:06:15 PM »

Hi, vixmom!

*At the very least, I hope your new office has very good air-conditioning.
