TOD:  I get them all mixed up, but there's one that promotes gut-busting shakes, which I gather is a drink and not an exercise.

That one sounds very tempting somehow.

Last night I watched the documentary Common Threads: Tales From The Quilt. I found myself crying as some of the stories were very moving even though I knew the outcome of several of them prior to watching them.

It's supposed to clear up today, with only a slight chance of rain around 1 or 2 pm, and then be totally clear the rest of the day.

We're counting on the Professional Weather Guessers to be right this time, as tonight is our only chance to see this outdoor show.

My news today is that I decided last night to start driving to Cincinnati at dawn's crack on Monday morning for a very quick visit, returning on Thursday.  I was taking a hard look at the calendar and finding that that's my one chance to finally get my "May" visit accomplished.  I'd frankly rather not be doing it now, but I think we all know that family is family and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.  Oy!

Saturday morning greetings!  Yesterday was kind of mixed up for me, not in a bad way, but mixed up nevertheless.  I had a 9am appointment for fasting blood work and a 10am art journaling class in Centerville, so I had my delayed coffee and breakfast while driving.  I was at the art store until almost 2pm, so I ate lunch late.  We had dinner at our regular time, so I wasn't very hungry then.  In the midst of all the mix-up, I never turned on my computer and missed checking in here.

So, I may have mentioned that my cardiologist, as expected, ordered a routine stress test for me.  It's scheduled for Monday morning and I was just looking at the paperwork to check on the dietary restrictions.  The doctor's office gave me 2 copies of my own "Imaging Orders Request Routing Slip" and one copy of someone else's.

HIPPA violation, much?

I'm up, I'm up - I was up at three after two hours of sleep and then I slept an additional two hours at some point - not enough. 
Title: Re: EATING FRESHLY
Post by: bk on July 15, 2017, 09:15:41 AM
Why was I up?  Because I've been thinking about the Mancini Kritzerland, so I got up and assigned 90% of the songs.  But for many weeks I've been thinking about my introduction to Mancini - I'd heard the Peter Gunn theme, of course, but didn't have any idea who wrote it.  The first time I became aware of Mancini by name was Blake Edwards' High Time, which I saw at a sneak preview, and then several times during its run.  I love that score, especially its main theme and a piece called Moon Talk (pre-Moon River) - one perky, one gorgeous.  There's a hit song in High Time but Mancini didn't write it - The Second Time Around.  So, I got it into my head to write lyrics for the two High Time pieces and that's what I did while I was up, and I must say, chutzpah aside, I rather like them.  I kept both titles and it was fun to figure out the lyric from there.  Hoping there's sheet music, but if not we'll have charts done.

TOD - we've had indirect experience with a service called Hello Fresh, one of those ingredients/recipe services that you cook yourself.  Rob and Mary Linda subscribed for a while.  When they went on vacation one time they gave us a couple of kits that wouldn't keep until their return.  They contained a lot of ingredients we try to avoid, like onions and garlic, and required more dishes and pots and pans than necessary.  The kids no longer subscribe, but still use some of the recipes.

Even this did not convince her, she was so sure she could not have made an error.  So he said, don't worry I'll just call "patients name her". Since her phone number is on the paperwork and deliver the documents personally.  Tell the doctor I won't even charge fir my services

Listening to Rachmaninov's piano concerto 5.  Say what, you say?  He only wrote four, you say.  Well, some wacky wag has taken symphony 2, my favorite symphony ever, and refashioned it as a piano concerto - and damn if it doesn't kind of work.

Will you be stocking up on chili while there?

More importantly, will you be stocking up on Vernor's?

Oh yes indeed!  Couple more 12-packs for you, sir?

Oh, lordy!  Not until the elevator's working. I may be leaving Manhattan until it is.

Fr. Richard is subbing again this weekend at Christ Our Hope in Dayton, which means services at 5pm on Saturday and 10:30am on Sunday.  My friend Becky went with us for today's service, after which we had a light supper at Panera.  Tomorrow I will stay home for some solitude.

I just had a delicious bean burger while my dinner companions had tofu bowls.  Keith said we would share a little when I was about to opt for the healthier tofu bowl, which was also delicious.  His idea of sharing was one piece of tofu for me and one bite of the burger for me.  I am now stuffed.

We went with our friends and neighbors to Tommy O's Pacific Rim Bistro.  I had my back to the window and missed most of the classic cars driving by.  Today is Cruise the Couve day, as in cruising the downtown area in classic cars.  Couve is the nickname for Vancouver.

Back in the 1980s, a new company started up in the Hudson, NY, area that sent freshly made meals to you. Turned out the company was run by Gretchen Cryer of zum Getting My Act Together fame. I did a story on her and the business. She was very nice.

Starting to watch Contemporary Color, a David Byrne production in which 10 school color guard squads and 10 musicians are paired up. Pretty visually intense.

At Half Price Books today, I found the Jay recording of Man of La Mancha, which I didn't know existed. I'll listen to it as soon as I finish listening to Don Quixote (disc 19 of 34).

Well, Contemporary Color started out good, but somewhere along the way, the directors lost interest in filming the color guards in any intelligent way. We get plenty of the musicians and the backstage people and artsy shots of arms twirling flags but little of the dancing/movement.

Just more evidence that great minds think alike, DR Ginny, for I was going to offer BK this very same advice.

Had my second Freshly meal o' the day - barbecue chicken breast on a sweet potato mash and some kind of veggies - it was very good - not my favorite of the six, but still very good.  It's so weird to me to eat two meals a day, but at 1100 calories at some point I assume I'll lose weight.

Got through the four Rachmaninov piano concertos - I don't know the first and fourth hardly at all, but this set is just wonderful - I'll talk about it in the notes.  I am having SUGAR WITHDRAWAL something fierce.

Well, today is the Hairspray two-show day!  We will have just about an hour in between the two shows...and that's it.  That's really not enough down time, but it's what we got.  Pray for Rosemary's Babies!

;)

Vibes you maintain the energy required without downtime.

Thanks, Jane!  I think we gave two pretty good performances today!

Had our final run-through - nine people here and the reaction was amazing - every laugh landed, every bit of patter landed, the songs landed - Kay went up a couple of times in the patter but handled it just right, having fun and being funny.  I think she was a bit shocked how loud some of the laughs are - and the opening number is one of the best I've ever seen in what it actually achieves - it got huge laughs and it isn't a funny song.

Congrats to Kay!  And Good Luck for the performance(s)!

Not too long ago, I got the Belgian Cast recording of Man of La Mancha (http://castalbums.org/recordings/LHomme-de-la-Mancha-1998-Belgian-Cast/3510).  I haven't had time to listen to it, yet.  I finally will this week.

I found my VHS tape of Man of La Mancha, which was the very first musical that I was in in Olympia, and it was at the Capitol Theater where Hairspray is performing now!  I'm recording it to my DVD burner so that I can have it on DVD.
