The weather is so nice. I've been to the pool a lot!

I would not go within 20 feet of a restaurant called The Tofu Hut.

The name reminds me of The Pita Hut which was a great disappointment to me. I would still try it for the tofu. During our 6 weeks in hotels only Tai restaurants offered tofu options for us.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes got their kicks on Route 66, and now it is time for you to post until the spam-filled cows come home.

.

I think I will wear one of my route 66 shorts along with my matching hat.

I'm up, I'm up - barely. Maybe six hours of sleep.

That's about what I got. I was up too late watching the BBC version of CRANFORD.

Speaking of spammers ... I can see through the front window that the JWs are out and about today.

Good afternoon!

Good to see we're on page 3 about 4 hours earlier than yesterday!

Okay I have to get ready to go early to work in the box office from 5-7, and I want to get some more stickers put in the programs so that we have plenty for tonight.

So that's how I'm getting my kicks.

It will be nice to have Sunday and Monday off.

I've been to market and now I'm enjoying the AC.

I had a Moross festival this morning; I listened to The Golden Apple and the 1963 City Opera premiere of Gentlemen, Be Seated! I can't tell if the missing sections are from the original bootleg tape or performance cuts. The opening of Act Two is completely gone, but I suspect that's an error by the original recorder. The late great Carol Brice is absolutely amazing on Harriet Tubman's The Freedom Train" and the closing lament for Abraham Lincoln, "Have You Seen Him?" There's no one like her today.

I haven't actually been on HHW all night and morning; I just forgot to log out.

The movie with orchestra was truly delightful and a lot of fun. They packed the hall.

The conductor looked like she was just winging it (synchronicity-wise) with sight cues. Perhaps the movie is just of an older vintage which doesn't lend itself to electronic wizardry.

Just dropping in briefly to say "hello".

The surgery went well, but the recovery is going to be several weeks or months.

I've spent the last few days mostly sleeping.

Druxy · « **Reply #75 on:** July 11, 2015, 12:16:29 PM »

I've only seen THE LOVED ONE once.

I saw it the week after my father died, so I really didn't appreciate the humor.

singdaw · « **Reply #76 on:** July 11, 2015, 01:32:29 PM »

We made buckwheat pancakes this morning for breakfast.

singdaw · « **Reply #77 on:** July 11, 2015, 01:33:08 PM »

Glad everything went well, DR Druxy.

Speedy recovery!

singdaw · « **Reply #78 on:** July 11, 2015, 01:33:22 PM »

Off to a Handel rehearsal.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #79 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:08:15 PM »

Howdy.

Just a quick check-in between library sale, a bunch of errands, and it being about time to get ready to pack the car with food and drink and head over to the outdoor venue for HAIRSPRAY. Really looking forward to seeing and hearing it, however good or bad it might be. I suspect it's pretty good, even though I have no knowledge of the director or music director, or any idea how the band might be. But it's been over a year since I last immersed myself in the material, and I shall enjoy myself regardless.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #80 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:10:33 PM »

It's 83 and clear here, a perfect summer day -- which I'll be able to enjoy infinitely better once I've cleaned up because I'm stinky and need a shower and a change of clothes.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #81 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:10:46 PM »

Apologies for the stinky part of that post.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #82 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:11:02 PM »

But I am pretty gross.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #83 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:11:11 PM »

Ripe.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #84 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:15:06 PM »

So what did I come home from the sale with?

Not much. A few Broadway CDs, a German cast album of MY FAIR LADY on vinyl, and just a couple of paperbacks to read and pass on.

That said, it was quite a good sale, lots of decent stuff of various types for those who want it. Some music, too, though the only thing I would have had an interest in was a stack of Webern miniature scores. I wasn't willing to gamble on remembering which ones I have, so I would have had to take the lot. Oddly, there was not one thing of Berg or Schoenberg, which I'd certainly expect to see alongside a stack of Webern.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #85 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:19:05 PM »

I also stopped in at Barnes and Noble to place my pre-order for Harper Lee's GO SET A WATCHMAN for Tuesday pickup. Listening to all the hype about it (and I don't mean hype in a bad way), I finally had to give in.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #86 on:** July 11, 2015, 02:19:55 PM »

So that's it for me till late tonight.

Well, that's okay, too.
