DR Cilla good luck finding a doctor you like, and with the test results.  I've done that 48 hour test.  I agree you likely won't find anything wrong.  Don't be put off by a new doctor putting your info into the computer.  I actually find it more sufficient. Of course your doctor should have pre-ordered the tests if you are already a patient.  If you go to a labfor bloodwork ask to sign a form for the results to be sent to you.

Good morning, all! I was in bed by 9:30 last night, and I slept really well. By 6:15am I was nodding, waiting for the alarm to ring at 6:30. I had long back-to-Drama-Book-Shop dream that was quite vivid, although the shop in the dream looked more like the set from The Son of Frankenstein with all those weird steps. Most of the dream was about inventory, getting acclimated to working there again, the owners Rozanne and Arthur, and a few loony customers.

I will shortly head back down to Toyland: I've got two of the Collegians showing up for their ROBERTA materials, and sometime between 10:00am and noon, Scot my piano tuner will arrive.  I've got the Act Two Piano/Conductor score of JUBILEE to print, and both acts of the vocal score to bind. I also need to replace some water damaged pages of my ROBERTA recording score.

DR slingshot, great news about the job! I knew you could pass the singing, but I was really worried about the mental exam.

DR Laura, I am sorry to hear about your friend. Let us know how things go.

DR cillaliz, best of luck with the doctor search!

DR vixmom, how are you feeling this morning?

BK, I hope the Abner candidate works out!

The mystery track has a familiar sound to it, but I'm not placing it at all. Something in it reminded me of "Juno," for some reason. Sounds nice, though.

DR Elmore's mention of having yet another Drama Book Shop dream immediately resonated with me this time, because two nights ago I had one of my most vivid dreams yet involving former employment.  In my case these can be of either a good or bad nature, and I only wish I knew how many similar dreams on this theme I've had over the past several years.  This recent one was so vivid and affecting, consisting of more the bad stuff than the good, that I was literally aware of forcing myself awake, throwing the covers off and sitting up, in order not to have it continue for one more moment.

Of all the myriad things we dream about, I have to marvel at whatever it is about our various jobs, or situations that are similar to actual jobs, that gets under our skin and enjoys a half life equal to that of plutonium.

Not so much music listening as movies this week, and I've got much to ketchup on.  In the still-watching and to-be-watched-forthwith stacks are MAN IN THE DARK (in 3-D) and other Twilight Time releases.  In fact, those others (ZULU, KHARTOUM and more) might still have to wait a bit.  Also, I was way too tired last night to even start THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, so that will be tonight and I am totally looking forward to reacquainting myself with this one.

But before that, something a little different:  Today I'm taking advantage of a second chance to see GRAVITY -- not only in the theater, but in IMAX 3-D.  I was sorry to have missed that experience on its first time around and have vowed not to let this second chance go by.

Just last week, while we were in GA, I had my librarian dream - the one where I'm trying to close the library for the night and can't get all the people to leave.  It's always the building where I started my career and where I was manager for 6 years before Rob was born.

One of the phrases in the mystery clip has a Scottish flavor, which -- when the answer is revealed -- will probably peg me as an IDIOT for life.  It kills me that I never recognize these.  Well, the few we've had so far.  By golly, I think mystery clips should be a regular thing!  :)

DR John G, the Sorg has changed a lot since it was a movie theatre.  There was an actual opera company there in the '90's and we enjoyed many of their performances.  I especially remember MADAME BUTTERFLY, H. M. S. PINAFORE, THE MIKADO, and a concert version of AIDA.  Joan Morris and William Bolcom gave a concert there one week after Rob was born and my mom and Richard's babysat so Richard and I could go.  And, in 1991, a tour of FORBIDDEN BROADWAY was just the antidote to some potentially frightening medical news I'd just received (turned out OK).

The other thing attached to my Morris/Bolcom program is a pink feather from Joan's boa.  To minimize our time away from our newborn, Richard and I arrived at the very last minute before the performance began.  The ushers tried to direct us up a steep and narrow stairway to the balcony, but Richard explained that I'd just had a baby, so they sent us to the front row of the orchestra.  When Joan made a flourish with her boa, the feathers flew and I caught one!

I didn't get out of Toyland until 3:30; Kyle and Michael showed up at around the same time for their scores, and Kyle's friend Sally, who was in town for an opera audition, came with him. I liked them all, and the social interaction was fast and furious. Then, I had a 30-minute wait for the damned bus. I'm home, coughing a lot, and feeling feverish.  I think I will stay in all day tomorrow in hopes that I can get this out of my system before Sunday.

This is very sad.  I have a FB friend who is a doctor and it took her several days to force her husband to go to the ER after a car accident.  On his own he might not have gone in time to discover he had more than a concussion and was bleeding.

DR John years ago when I went to NY and met DR elmore he gifted me a book from his personal collection on the Shakespeare Festival here in Ashland.  When I saw who wrote the broke I was trilled as they were a couple I hiked with every week and the husband organized our group and led the hikes.  After I returned I asked them to autograph the book.  They were full of smiles to see I had it.

Now I treasure this book for the connection to DR elmore, my wonderful time in NY, and to two dear people who are no longer with us.

I'm listening to what is probably going to be our season opener in the fall at the theatre company I work at.  The recording was released today and I was freaking out because the board insisted on programming this piece next year - even though the Resident Music Director (me!) hadn't even heard the score.  So, now i'm hearing it, and it's not bad, really.  The show recently closed on Broadway in December - has to do with a fish.  You can figure that out. 

What bugs me about next season is that the two big musicals are by the same composer.  I tried to tell the board that really was not a good idea, but both shows would be premieres in the area and they are new.  The other show, by the same composer as the aforementioned show, has to do with a family from a 60's sitcom.  Not one of my favorite scores, but it might be fun anyway.

I am impressed with Bed Bath & Beyond.  If I had known how easy it would be to exchange the pop corn maker because of a cracked lid I would have called them sooner.  Since the lit still works they are mailing us a new one.  Once it arrives we just take the old one back and get a credit for the price of the new one I just charged.  We don't have the box or the receipt but since we paid with a credit card they verified it was purchased there.

For Keith's sake I hope the lid holds until the new one arrives. He loves this pop corn maker.

DR Cilla good luck finding a doctor you like, and with the test results.  I've done that 48 hour test.  I agree you likely won't find anything wrong.  Don't be put off by a new doctor putting your info into the computer.  I actually find it more sufficient. Of course your doctor should have pre-ordered the tests if you are already a patient.  If you go to a labfor bloodwork ask to sign a form for the results to be sent to you.

The lab work is done at the office and they email you the results.  I've learned that there is another doctor at the same clinic that is old school, but they don't like you to switch doctors within the clinic, so I'm pretty much done with that clinic.  The funny thing is as I was telling Bob about this today - totally out of the blue a woman stopped in from a multi-care clinic (Chiro, phys therapy and Doctor in same clinic). She had a box of hot doughnuts.  She said she saw my commercial and wanted to stop because they do a lot of work with the Hispanic community. 
I told her that I had just been talking about their clinic (I couldn't remember the name of it) It was very strange... Anyway, she said they mostly work with injuries, but she had been a drug rep in the past so she was familiar with the docs in the area.  I told her the sort of doc I was looking for. She gave me several names of docs who seem to practice the way I'm interested in being treated.  One of them is in the same network as my current clinic and is fairly near my house.  I think I'm going to give them a try

We'll see what I hear from him

Observations of the Olympics opening ceremony:

Like: quadrennial geography lesson; cyrillic alphabet; awesome projections; fireworks; all the athletes marching in; and the coke ad! In a way that ad captures the spirit of diversity.  The zodiac of athletes was amazing.. Very cool!

Fashion wise: Loved Canada's Jackets!! (I would love to get one), Liechtenstien's jackets, Slovakia's mittens, Moldova's scarves, Slovenia's scarves... France's jackets and UK's down coats were nice also.

Interesting fashion: Tonga's jackets, Bermuda's shorts, and Cayman Islands flipflops. Russia's coats reminded me of something I saw on a 70s show. Not bad, they were nice.

Ouch fashion:  US Sweaters... Latvia's very, very bright jacket and pants

Political fashion: Germany...

Thomas Bach's speech I thought was a polite poke at Putin.
