I want warmer weather for our ANNIE auditions this Saturday and Sunday....but I don't think I'll get my want.

Would you like me to drive out there and play FDR?

[bk]

Had a good phone conversation and the Kritzerland show issues are resolved and we're back on for May and June.  And to address FJL's idea - our audience has been really loyal and likes the fact that we're at the same place, the same time (mostly) every month and we're the only show to have ever done it for this very long period of time.  However, for the past year I've known that my plan is to get to 100 shows, which will happen mid next year and then either stop completely or, more likely, that we'll do three yearly specials, which would keep it alive but me much easier on me.

Are the May and June shows back on at The Federal?

Yes, at The Federal.

[John G.]

I hope it stops snowing before I get to Maine at the end of the month.

Where in Maine are you going?

Rockland. It’s where we used to sail out of.

Flat Broke with Two Goats is the latest Big Read San Antonio.

Sorry that I was absent last evening.

You weren't the only one, Tom.  I left work, did some shopping, came home, fed my cat (I actually don't remember if I fed myself ), went up to my bedroom, started watching TV and posted once from my tablet, and just kept watching TV, then fell asleep.

The hyacinth had bloomed during the day

Nice!

[George]

Since Vixdad cannot abide strong scents I took it to work Tuesday

Darn.

[George]

I was awakened in the wee hours by a cat (not naming any names here) tossing a hairball.

DR Elmore has so much to look forward to!   

Been there...done that.

[George]

It's nice to know the Vixter was so well thought of that nearly two years after she left she's still being  asked after

That's so sweet!

[George]

Gratuitous Post #100!

Doing good work, even putting in that extra time, can pay off.  I worked at a summer job when in law school, a really great law firm, and the cases were exciting to inexperienced me at least, so I worked until all hours because I was having a ball work-wise.  The hiring attorney even made a donation to a campus extracurricular group I was involved in, and called me up to have lunch each time he came to campus to recruit in following years.  I chose the CPA-firm route instead, as the CPA firm was giving me a chance to work on the AT&T break-up (which so ended up annoying me as a regular phone customer, but totally fascinated me as one of the great business learning opportunities so i grabbed it; it felt once in a lifetime at the time.  (The CPA firm paid much less but since my parents didn't mind me still living with them at 23, my living expenses were very low).

But years later, a wonderful actress in "The Last Starfighter" premiere (and on the Kritzerland album, so there's a HHW connection) was working at that firm, the firm's name came up on caller ID when the actress called us during her lunch break - and I said to her I wonder if Charlie remembers me from over 20 years ago; she was sitting right outside Charlie's office, so she just asked him, and he got on the phone as if he remembered me from last year.

That's a great story, Fred!

Larry, such an awful elevator situation.  sorry you're going through that; sounds like it could be terrible workmanship, or is it just a bad elevator?

Val says it was something they had overlooked.  It's back and up running this morning.  Everyone on the third floor was pissed last night.  The attitude was, it was out of service for seven weeks and the new one lasts three weeks?

Hopefully, this is the end of the problems for a while.

VERY good news!

Great news about the resolution, BK!

We are going to Hank's, so I am having pizza.

The pizza on their homepage looks really good!  What kind did you have?

Annalene Beechey, my leading lady for the recordings of Dearest Enemy and Roberta, has been cast as Kelli O'Hara's standby for the London production of The King & I.  I am really happy for her.

[Jrand74]

Good news from MR BK.

[Jrand74]

Yes nice story DR FJL.

I was pleased to learn that DR ViXMOM had purchased the Texas Roadhouse....maybe she will have to work fewer hours.

Congrats to Annalene!

And congrats to Vixmom on her new restaurant purchase!

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Glad to hear that the Kritzerland venue problem has been resolved.

[Jeanne]

Elevator vibes to Elmore!

The third floor is understandably fed up. Vibes this problem is history.

[Jeanne]

It's nice to know the Vixter was so well thought of that nearly two years after she left she's still being  asked after

Yes, and it's also interesting that so many of the staff are still there. It must be a good place to work.

[Jeanne]

Thank you, all, for the work vibes. I can’t do anything but do the best I can with the job and continue to reach out where I can.

More vibes from me, too.

[Jeanne]

Well it's not nice out, but at least it's not snow

Unfortunately when I woke up today there was a little "surprise".  It's not much snow. Maybe only 1 cm. But it was supposed to rain NOT snow. Not happy I have to get my boots out again.

DR Jennifer, I know you're anxious for spring, but do you not have a good pair of comfortable boots? I love boots and often wear them even when it isn't wet out. Of course, it isn't always easy to find a good-fitting pair. Have you found some you really like?

Interesting story, Fred. You clearly stood out in Charlie's memory. A compliment to you, I'm sure.

[Jeanne]

Yes nice story DR FJL.

Well, she couldn't work any more hours.

[Jeanne]

I think it's an excellent career move for her.

Just left the doctor's office.

Yesterday's tests showed no significant issues other than age.
