I'd arranged with the building manager to have my inspection at 11:30 tomorrow, instead of having to wait around much of the day. She now informs me that the handyman will have to leave early, so inspection hours are 8:00 to 9:30ish. That makes a mess of my morning and effectively means I have to skip my exercise program, which I really don't like to do. Of course, I'll have the later part of the day to take care of other things (if I'm not completely exhausted from today).

I understand you want your place in perfect order before people traipse through it. I somehow suspect your apartment will look better than most even if you don't get everything done.

Good evening!

Back from the meeting - I planned on twenty minutes - I was there an hour and twenty, thanks to one person who does not understand this show is not about him. He only thinks of himself, only thinks of his needs, doesn't understand he's got sixteen minutes of a two-hour show, but happily the City and everyone at the Wallis is onto him. So, I will have my needs met and from here on in if he tries to talk to anyone he'll simply be told that the director of the show and his stage manager are in charge and he'll need to talk to us.

And because of that, it took me almost fifty minutes to do the fifteen minute drive home. Color me furious. And because of that I had no time to go sit and have a proper meal, so I went to Jerry's and got a little thing of chicken salad to bring home with a couple of bagels. I ate one bagel with some chicken salad so I'm good until we wrap at eight-thirty.

And tomorrow I have to do the lighting script and get that to the tech folks at the Wallis.

Well, I'm off to the Melissa Etheridge concert!

Be back later!

Enjoy, George.

I can't believe I forgot Rebecca Luker from my list. Love her voice.

This may be a little too San Antonio foodie, but I'm laughing myself silly at this.

Watching a movie about Somm, a documentary about the folks who take the master sommelier taste and the toll that it takes on them.

Where is everybody?

John G. · « **Reply #71 on:** July 17, 2018, 08:07:49 PM »

Everybody except George, that is.

John G. · « **Reply #72 on:** July 17, 2018, 08:08:05 PM »

I know where he is.

Tomorrow night is the big dinner for theater volunteers. It's a beach party. Should be fun. They have it in the theater itself with the floor flattened and tables put in.

I stayed up late last night. I may turn in early tonight.

Rehearsals went very well and now I'll eat bagel two with the rest of the chicken salad. Not really enough food but I'm not in the mood to go out.

I should think we'd best get some postin' goin' on.

Hope vixmom did OK today.

The reviews for Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again have started to come in.

John G. · « **Reply #79 on:** July 17, 2018, 08:55:10 PM »

Surprisingly, most are favorable.

John G. · « **Reply #80 on:** July 17, 2018, 08:55:36 PM »

But I did love this snippet from Variety's review in which they look back at the original:

Then, of course, there was Pierce Brosnan, who sang “S.O.S.” sounding like a seal with a ping-pong ball stuck in his mouth.

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** July 17, 2018, 09:00:34 PM »

I will go. Maybe not this weekend.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** July 17, 2018, 09:00:47 PM »

Right now, however, it's off to bed.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** July 17, 2018, 09:00:55 PM »

Good night, all.

Get me OFF THIS DAMN PAGE.

After listening to some pretty lame vocal CDs, I am now in Nancy Wilson land. I just don't know that I ever listened to any of these albums when I bought them. She's amazing, actually - what a voice and the arrangements are fantastic and that Capitol sound. THESE are albums.

Had to laugh over at All That Chat - some poster called sf said he normally doesn't "pimp out his blog" - that is MY phrase that I've used on Facebook on the few occasions when I've linked to this here site. I've never heard anyone else use it - so I clicked through to his blog and of course it's someone who's a member of this here site - I think he posted occasionally in the early days, and he sees all my posts on Facebook where I use that phrase - so that mystery solved. I'm so happy to help people with their phraseology.

I am quite bored of this page, quite bored of the errant and truant and ready to kick some butt cheeks.

Nancy is singing. Hollywood My Way - she's great, the arrangements for the most part are not to my liking - Jimmy Jones - she's much better with the likes of Billy May.

We watched MOLLY'S GAME this evening.
