Fifteen pages and a third of a sixteenth and that's enough for today.
Good morning and happy vibes to everyone! Book writing vibes to our dear BK.
The meds seem to be working. The swelling has gone way down in my hands and I am not longer itchy in the other places. The bumps are gone from my scalp. Still coughing a bit but it’s not as heavy as it was. I was going into coughing fits where I couldn’t seem to stop but I’m not doing that now. I guess the antibiotic I took helped with that even though I had the reaction to it. I go to the doctor today at 2 to see where I’m at.
I imagine he will just say to finish the allergy pills and rest. I still have 4 days worth including today. It’s the type where you take 6 the first day, 5 the next, 4 and so on. I’m down to 4 for today.
I just hope I’m well by the time Mark gets here. I don’t want to be sick when we meet but I’m hopeful.
I will leave here around 8:30 and head to Carroll Studios. I am looking forward to today's orchestra reading. We'll hear numbers from Wildcat, Subways Are for sleeping, Milk and Honey, Sail Away, Greenwillow, All American, and God knows what else.
Orchestra reading vibes for DR ELMORE....and audience vibes for DR CHAS SMITH.
Opening night vibes for DR GEORGE.
Lunching vibes for DR JEANNE & MR BK.

My Fitbit and zucchini diet is back on track now. I have recovered from both the holidays and a couple of pesky viruses.
I would just as soon eat a fitbit as a zucchini ....

Depends on how the Fitbit is prepared.
Glad you don’t have to go to the hospital, Danise. Definitely a germ palace to be avoided.
Thanks for the good vibes and thoughts. The weather is going back up this weekend too so that should help. I still can’t believe we had black ice here and it was 29 degrees with a wind chill of 11.
I think that is part of the problem. If it would get cold and stay cold my body could adjust but to be up in the 70’s one day and down in the 20’s the next just sets you up to get sick.
The mighty Joshie worked a miracle and my check turned up this afternoon. It's deposited and all is well.

How did the music sound, Elmore? All of those shows you mentioned have some lovely music in them.

There were many numbers I liked and others that did nothing for me. I think the Greenwillow scores sounded really beautiful, and I love Mack and Mabel and Wildcat, Annabelle's favorite musical. Much as I like Hershy Kay's work as an orchestrator, his scoring of Milk and Honey fails to impress me. I like Jerry Herman's work but I'm not so keen on Hershy's treatment of them.

Does the structure of the show with Man in Chair work? Or does it matter?

Marlene VerPlank has died. (Mmm good, mmm good, Campbells soups are ...) BK, did you produce her Richard Adler album?

The orchestra reading went very nicely, and I think the show has a lot of potential to be a fun event. Our DR ChasSmith spent the day at the work table Joshie and I used, and I think he had a good time. One problematic number was essentially my problem since I did a lousy job proofreading it for Joshie on Wednesday. I was i too much of a hurry to leave and work on harp parts. We will repair it

I'm very tired. The room was warm and stuffy, and these rehearsals really tire me out. Rob and Joshie should be exhausted. They did all the work.
Two show biz deaths announced today:
Bradford Dillman
Dorothy Malone

And now, I'm off to the theater. But first, I'm going to go to Costco to pick up some slides that I had scanned and put on a Blu-ray (or maybe DVD...I don't remember which). Of course, I won't be able to look at them until I get home. The slides are of The Manhattan Transfer in concert from 1975, taken by Vixmom's former boyfriend, Gorman Bechard, who went on to have (and still has) a career in the visual arts. I bought them from him on eBay years ago. The set of 36 slides was one of the very first things I ever bought on eBay. :)
Be back later!

I wonder how Gorman is, I corresponded with him for awhile via email about 12 years when he had a film in a festival in Zbrooklyn but we list touch again
My chili is in the crockpot
And where us that elusive page 5?
Vixdad didn't think it was hot enough so I have added some more hot red pepper
I think I am going to add the stock I made from the prime rib bones... Maybe test will give it a beefier taste
Where's John G when I need him?

I was out while my dance instructor took another test. It was a bit of a mixup with the Studio where she took the test, but she passed this phase.
Well, opening night is done and was a success! A few people gave a standing O! And now, I'm going home.
Be back later!
Oh sure, recuperating from surgery, that old excuse
DR John, are you tired after an evening out?

Not unduly. But I am ready for bed.

I am pleased you had a good evening DR George.
