My wonderful next-door-neighbor did a couple of clicks on my phone, so now I get a notification if there is activity in my driveway, which there is not.

Vety good.

Rehearsal was fun but ninety minutes longer than it was supposed to be so I am really behind. I had managed to futz and finesse half of yesterday's stuff. Also, called the Smokehouse for reservations and they tell me they're overbooked from 4:30 to 8:30 and won't take reservations but that they are taking walk-ins. Sorry, I don't get it. Either you're overbooked or you're not overbooked. I'm sickened by this turn of events, but I'm not about to drive to Burbank and be told there's an hour wait. Will not do. Which means it's Barone's, which I really DON'T want again, or maybe Hugo's. I'm not sure what other options are around here.

I agree that the carpet pattern on the ship was not a good choice! Whoever thought that'd be a good idea??

And I read it was well received when it was installed.

Finished futzing and finessing and wrote three new pages - was hoping for five before dinner, but I don't think that will happen since they'll be here in forty minutes and I have to shower and get ready. Maybe one more, though.

I decided on Valley Inn, which is kind of the Sherman Oaks Smokehouse. No games there, took the reservation immediately.

I recorded Torch Song Trilogy on TCM recently and am burning a DVD for myself. The movie was released in 1988. The last "act" is set in spring of 1980 and the first shot of that section is of the twin towers. It's been quite a while since I've watched a vintage movie with just random shots of the towers.

The last thing I saw at night before I fell asleep, and the first thing I saw each morning.

How did I not know you used to live in NY?

New Jersey. Lodi, New Jersey.

The cars not really due for it yet, it's only at 50%, but I like to change the oil and the wipers before a Florida trip

Back from a fun and nice dinner with Peyton Kirkner and her mom. I asked my artist friend Jimmy Mulligan (tons of Disney art) to do an original watercolor of Peyton playing her character in A Carol Christmas. I sent him some photos and he finally did it (it was supposed to be ready last week for the dinner we had then, but he was very busy). He's done one other as a favor to me and that was Sami in Welcome to My World. He did a great job and Peyton went nuts for it, as did her mom.

The Valley Inn isn't as good as the Smoke House, but it's along those lines. Peyton had escargot as her starter - I've actually never seen anyone eat escargot but she loves it. I had a Caesar, which was merely okay - the Smoke House's small Caesar is fantastic. They also have garlic cheese bread at Valley Inn but it's not that interesting. Peyton and I had the filet mignon - mine I had with bernaise and it was pretty excellent. Peyton ate hers all up. I had a baked potato and ate half of it. Peyton's mom had the Valley Inn's signature dish, fried chicken. I had a taste and it was great.

I came right home after that and wrote two more pages, so about nine or ten to go, I suppose. I need to take a little break, then I'll start at nine and go as long as I can. Several plot points made themselves known to me about ten minutes ago - and that will make things go a little faster.

Heard from Julie Kirgo via e-mail. She's asked me to sing at Nick's memorial - Hushabye Mountain. Of course I gave her a very quick yes.

Page four? Really?

I've done about thirteen pages so far - will do at least two more right now, then do the notes, then I'll decide how far I want to go tonight.

The 2018 National Theatre production of Follies is available on iTunes.

I'll get it when the CD is released.

There's not even a digital booklet available with it.
