Well, I need to get to sleep.  I have to get to work an hour earlier than usual, because I need to leave an hour earlier.  I'm working concessions at the Washington Center tonight, and it's the first night of Olympia's Arts Walk celebration, and downtown is going to be a madhouse!  But before that at work, I have to go to a 3-hour meeting AND try to finish up the monthly invoicing before I need to leave to the concessioning.  It's going to be one of those days. :P

I slept quite badly last night.  Much of it had to do with the anxiety of sleeping through a 5:30 alarm and much had to do with the fact that I feel like garbage from the allergies and this damned check is stressing me out.

DR Jane, Annabelle's not in any sort of playful mood at the present, another reason why I need that check, and she needs to see Dr Mohr,  She's been congested way too much lately.  It might be the pollen, but she's prone to respiratory issues and I want ot know she's okay.

I HATE that sleep thing when you have to get up early. I think it didn’t used to be a problem for me, but it’s really been hell the past few years. I’ll have that going on next week when we have morning shows on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I truly don’t know if I ever listened to the Schoenberg piano concerto. I did hear the violin concerto when I unwittingly attended a concert featuring it. That was an endurance test.

Iodine/Mercurochrome - both had a skull and crossbones on the label.

Post by: Jrand73 on April 26, 2019, 06:04:06 AM
I also forgot to answer MR BK's question in the notes.

I have four televisions.  Only one is connected to cable and Roku.

The other three have HD antennas.  Two of them have the type that look like old rabbit ears.  Good picture - but can be cumbersome to move around since you can't set them on top of the tv.

The other ONE has the bat wing type HD antenna - this one works fine and is much easier to move around if you need to in order to get a better picture.

Both install the same way....so either is fine - but for convenience, I would recommend the flat bat wing.

We've discussed that song before in the old days here on HHW, IIRC. 

And also maybe that "I Don't want to Talk About it" seems to mean:  I want to talk about it, I want you to shut up and listen.  :)

Last night's run through was fine, no trumpet, but we got through it.  I think it'll be a fun opening.  I'm trying to think of ways to throw more "band" at the numbers that are lacking on stage.  I'm kinda done arranging though.  Last night I just sang along when the 12 people or so weren't making any noise. 

Today, smog check, a little clothes shopping and a meeting. then the show.

I'm up, I'm up - I was up at nine briefly, then back to bed, so somewhere in there I got about six hours of sleep.  Lunch meeting is on, haven't heard about dinner, so I guess I'll have at least a little something to eat, just in case.

Back from lunch meeting - I did eat because I hadn't heard from Grant - but now dinner is on, too.  Therefore, I can ONLY have the scampi - no bread, no salad.  If I do that I'll still be right around 1000 calories.

The memorial was very nice....and Katy's grand daughter Katie said thanks for bringing the pie....pumpkin NOT pickle.

It was mostly family.....but we saw daughter Misty and her two children and husband of 62 years, Larry.  Katy had early onset dementia and had been in care for almost three years.  They were sad, but they were also glad that her suffering had come to an end....

And, best of all the trip was a great success. I may incur the wrath of Samuel French employees, but for years they've let their musical theatre materials be handled by incompetent supervisors, and the Al Carmines show Promenade, which Summer Encores is doing this summer, is a case in point. The orchestra parts are often in different keys from the vocal score, and the libretto they're sending out is the playwright's revised script which cuts three songs in the score.  Our trip to New Paltz was to look at the collection of Susan Romann, conductor of the 1969 off-Broadway production that opened the Promenade Theatre.  All of her rehearsal and performance materials were there - conductor's score, a lot of the original orchestra parts, rehearsal and vocal scores, and the original script with pages of revisions.

Listening to some music, pre-dinner.  I'm a huge Darius Milhaud fan but had never heard his concerto for marimba, vibraphone, and orchestra.  The slow movement is sublime, a gorgeous piece of music.

I also forgot to answer MR BK's question in the notes.

I have four televisions.  Only one is connected to cable and Roku.

The other three have HD antennas.  Two of them have the type that look like old rabbit ears.  Good picture - but can be cumbersome to move around since you can't set them on top of the tv.

The other ONE has the bat wing type HD antenna - this one works fine and is much easier to move around if you need to in order to get a better picture.

Both install the same way....so either is fine - but for convenience, I would recommend the flat bat wing.

My neighbor has one. I guess his is the batwing type. His is mounted near the ceiling. He seems quite happy with it. Less than $100 at costco, IIRC.

Back from a super fun double birthday dinner at Barone's.  I feel like I've eaten a damn house but it was really good.  I only had the scampi, but it was very filling - the shrimps were really big tonight - but I know the calorie count for that is reasonable no matter how filling.  The chocolate mousse is another story, but boy was it good.

Listening to Carmina Burana, the Stokowski recording, which I don't think I've actually ever played.  I've only heard the famous Ormandy recording, which I thought fine, but I just didn't care about the music all that much.  That may be a better band, better soloists and chorus, but Stokowski makes this like I've never heard a note of it - in amazing 1957 stereo.

When we got the inspection back last week, there was a list of mostly minor problems that we requested the seller fix.  Instead, the seller went thru the list and basically picked out which ones he wanted to fix.  Basically a power play, since none of the items were very major.
