thanks for all the cards and stuff everyone!  i suck, i didn't send any, so consider yesterday's message my card to all of you :-)

a message from china (i really like this):

"On the occasion of christmas day let us pray in concert, whichever your country, whichever your tribe, for all the people lived in the blue golden earth: wipe up wars, poverty and hungers and establish peaceful equality, free and happiest world owned by humankind.

Please accept the best benediction from China, a country with an ancient civilization, for all of you May your Christmas and New Years Day be especially happy!"

the other stuff that went on yesterday - they impeached the president and livingston resigned - i'm at a loss for words.  as censure and move on put it:  "They've done it. They've ignored the pleas of the American people. They've subverted and misused the Constitution. They've damaged and degraded our institutions and our democracy. They've thrown away two centuries of government stability and separation of powers. They've impeached the President."  ugh.

the times "man of the year" announced this morning is/are ken starr and bill clinton. 

here's two articles from memphis (check december '98) (thanks karen c :-)  the folks at this theater are really nice btw, they wrote me and said they know how hard it will be for the cast to be away from home for the holidays, and they plan to do something for them.  cool.

i haven't heard any more about adrian than the rest of you have, i don't know what the hell's going on over there.

so, with that said, here's the first (and only so far) review from greensboro.

and brent says to tell you all "happy holidays & may the new year bring the best to all!"  

here's some more of dyann's pictures from albuquerque (this whole page is like the dyann show - lol :-)

"happiness is just a pair of flannel pajamas to you, isn't it?" - ally mcbeal.

i'm putting you to work.   we've all been voting for steve for time magazines "man of the year".   here's the link - make sure you spell it right and use capital first letters - Steve Schalchlin - and you can vote over and over and over :-)

and to broadway: goodbye wilson.

went to TLS last nite, bob had laryngitis but it somehow made gideon more real, it was good.  00h, and then ran into ryan idol standing outside in his robe between shows - heh heh - breathe dickie :-)

here's the first of dyann's pictures from albuquerque, and neil the way he should be - blonde :-)

off to see TLS this afternoon.  one of these days i'm gonna go christmas shopping. 

glad to hear you're okay bry!

i had to laugh yesterday when someone posted (again) on the ny board that there's never any flame wars on the benny board - wilson's last immediately came to mind.  god, do any of you remember that?  the mother of all wars, lol.

i haven't done any christmas shopping yet - ack!

another article from san antonio, and the first  review.

look, scott hunt is "bright & sassy" - LOL!   (love ya scott :-)

i did catch buffy tho - willow was a great vamp - LOL! 

and TLS is the times 'pick of the day'!  w00!   :-)

here's the first article out of san antonio (actually it's not, they wrote one way back in may!)

we love you carla, so glad we got to say goodbye again :-)

In my many years of being an observer of musical theater,
"The Last Session" is simply something special and something
brilliant. It has also been a special pleasure to get to
know the creative team, those dymanic men of rhyme, Jim
and Steve. After last nights webcast, I called them
today to ask permission to reprint an article from the
Laguna program that Jim wrote called "Coming Home."

norbert and carla's last day yesterday (come back to me carla! lol :-)

the TLS webcast had a few problems last night but it was still fun. we had a party in the chat room :-)  i'm going to the mat today, can't wait.

that new christmas movie neil is in is on tonite on cbs - 9pm pst.

the TLS live webcast is tonite!  if you can't be here in l.a. for the opening, park yourself in front of your computer tonite :-)

and the first review.

tonite's the first preview of TLS - i'll be there!

oh and andy asked me to tell everyone hi and that laura is *fierce* and they're having a great time together - and that it's FREEZING. lol, a boy after my own heart :-)

and i'm seeing boston is scheduled, and now atlanta august 11-15 - back at the fox theater adam!

here's the first of my pictures from palm desert.

michael j. fox said a cool thing the other day about his illness (well, i liked it anyway):

"It's not that I had a deep, dark secret," says Fox of his private struggle with the disease, which required him to have brain surgery last March. "It was just my thing to deal with. But this box I had put everything into kind of expanded to a point where it's difficult to lug around. What's inside the box isn't inhibiting me. It's the box itself".
