Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both short and sweet and sweet and short, and now it is time for you to post until the short and sweet cows come home.

And the word of the day is: GREGARIOUS!

I'm nevr up at this hour, but I was anxious for reports about the BRAIN, and thrilled that it went so well. Congratulations to everybody involved

FJL · « **Reply #3 on:** December 09, 2006, 02:07:50 AM »

Nevr, that is the word I used. (I meant never, of course.)

Good Morning Fred.

Up really early

On my way to the airport and then LAX.

Michael · « **Reply #5 on:** December 09, 2006, 02:13:57 AM »

Damn Fred!

Just caught up with yesterdays post what a bummer!
I am then off to the airport, just in case I have problems here.

Michael S - We were flying (or trying to fly) mid-afternoon on Friday. I'm sure you won't have similar problems on an early A.M. flight. Wishing you a great trip!

FJL · « **Reply #7 on:** December 09, 2006, 02:31:30 AM »

Skip's better at certain details than I am. And he reminded me that we were at the airport 2:10 for a 3:30 flight, and that when we got there, there were at least seven agents tending the line, but by the time we were getting close to the front, the number had at some point dwindled to two.

But next time we know, we must find a person who looks official and be insistent that our flight is coming up. (And maybe tip? - who knew?)

We're not taking the position of never flying this airline again, just going to learn how to play it if we ever run into this situation again, and planning to try on principle (whether or not we succeed) to get compensated for losses, like the deposit on the hotel and such. And maybe avoid flying on a getaway day like a Friday afternoon.

I'm rambling, I'll go get some more sleep. Just was anxious to hear about last night's opening, and so happy about what i read.

Of course, there will be no compensating for the experience we missed out on, and hoping there will be lots of details on HHW so that i can live vicariously through them.

Glad to hear that Opening Night went well. It is 4:15 a.m. here -- and I am just about to hit the road. Can't wait to see everyone!

5 am. Mostly packed. I need to give my ratties some water & 3-S.

Oh, why am I still sitting here?!

FJL · « **Reply #11 on:** December 09, 2006, 05:10:08 AM »

Have a great time, singingnymph. Please report back with as many details as you can.

Saturday morning greetings! Today is the first of my five days off. I crashed last night about 9pm and woke up this morning without an alarm clock, very refreshed.

The glowing Brain reports are such a thrill! Congratulations to everyone and best wishes for a continued successful run.

Today, as as early birthday present from my mother, I'm going with her and many other senior citizens to the matinee performance of the Cincinnati Pops Christmas concert. The guest artists are the von Trapp Children, great grandchildren of the Captain.

Good morning all and Congrats on what sounds like a fabulous opening night!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:23:26 AM »

French Silk pie and I have always been friends, but I like Apple, Rhubarb and my mother's peach pie a lot too...I've had some great berry pies from time to time....oh bother, now I'm thinking about pie.

Good morning Ginny!

Glad to hear the show was a smash!

Times I have been running close to my flight or there were big lines, there usually was an airline rep going through the line saying, "Is anyone on the upcoming 3:15 flight?" (or whenever), and such people were pulled out of line and moved along the chain a bit.

Pie! Coconut Cream with whipped cream on top just like they serve it at the best of all pie places -- House of Pies on Larchmont and Vermont in the good ole Los Feliz neighbourhood of Hollywood of LA of California.

Pictures! BK! I want pictures of last night's festivities!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:37:11 AM »

I had a wonderful Dutch Apple pie at House of Pies with our very own BK last summer

Good morning!

Not a cloud in this forgeous blue sky, but cold, cold cold. Argh! 19 last night and the possibility of 14 tonight. Highs in the 40s. Not ypical for December around here.

Matt H. · « **Reply #22 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:45:16 AM »

Thrilled that THE BRAIN opening was mostly smooth sailing and was so well received. That's always a great hurdle to get jumped. Now, onward and upward!

Congrats to all!

Matt H. · « **Reply #23 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:46:31 AM »

I have 3 1/2 hours of TV backlogged on my DVR plus two movies that need to get watched and either erased or burned onto DVDs before the end of the weekend.

And, of course, SUPERMAN RETURNS for tonight. No substitutions allowed!

Matt H. · « **Reply #24 on:** December 09, 2006, 06:48:00 AM »

And I've been up since 6:30. Had a very troubling dream and couldn't fall back asleep once it woke me up. I doubt I'll get a nap today either, so I'm hoping that means I fall into bed tonight and sleep like the dead to catch up from last night's six hours.

Matt H. · « **Reply #25 on:** December 09, 2006, 07:04:44 AM »

Heading down now to tidy up a few things downstairs. May be back on later this morning.

Good morning Ginny!

Hi, Cillaliz! I was away from the computer - not ignoring you

TOD - The Grand Finale in Cincinnati (Glendale, actually) serves an exquisite Chocolate Cordial Pie. For fruit pie, my blueberry pie is pretty darn good, as is my Aunt Jo's peach cobbler (not exactly pie, but close).

I second that! I'm not a pie lover, but the coconut cream at House of Pies is to die for.

I'm up, I'm up, and shall try to jog pre Du-Par's.

I have, of late, become very fond of Custard Pie and Pumpkin Pie with lots of whipped cream.
