Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland at Home 107, and now it is time for you to post until the 107 cows come home.

Well, I missed the Kritzerland show so I will watch it later this morning.  After I finished up my errands and gave the cats their bedtime treat, I was so far off my usual schedule that it slipped my mind.  I watched the BBC Marple adaptation of "The Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side," which was very good.  It was the first time I really liked Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple, and the cast including Joanna Lumley and Hugh Bonneville was excellent.

Sad news to wake up to this morning that actress Kelly Preston (57) has died from breast cancer.

She was a good actress; a nice lady. She starred in my 1994 film, CHEYENNE WARRIOR.

My condolences to her husband, John Travolta, and her family.

The TOD is difficult to answer because everything was top-notch and so splendid. Everyone performed beautiful songs beautifully.

But here’s what I can do. I’m giving a laurel and hearty shoutout to BK and to Jason Graae for a couple of exceptional showstoppers. And that’s all I’m saying, so as not to provide actual spoilers for those who will be watching later.

The Telephone Song from BELLS.....
Madeleine
The Maladjusted Jester
Children Will Listen
The Brain

But everything was good.....it's hard to pick a favorite.....there is one singer I didn't like - but that doesn't really matter.....that's only one man's opinion and it means nothing to anyone else.

I just finished watching last night's show.  I think I agree with DR JohnG about it being the best so far.  I really liked these, but I must add that I think Adrienne and Kerry can sing anything and I'd be happy.
Robert Yacko’s  “The Brain From Planet X”
Hartley Powers’  “A Perfect Relationship”
Kerry O’Malley's “This is the City”
Jason Graae's  “She Touched Me”
Bruce’s “Maladjusted Jester”
Adrienne Stiefel's “Love Look Away/Here’s That Rainy Day”

I love Emily Skinner, but I wish I liked Into The Woods! The score leaves me cold for the most part. 
I met Norm Lewis ages ago when he did something - a Vincent Youmans score, maybe? - at the Library of Congress, and he still sounds great.

BK, you were mistaken about "Madeleine." The lyrics are by Brel, the music is by Gérard Jouannest et Jean Corti.  Brel seemed to like collaborating.  The version of Brel's "La Mort" (My Death) in Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well . . . is Brel's lyrics and Mort Shuman's rewrite of Brel's original tune.

Started a very bizarre book yesterday called Ginger Rogers and The Riddle of the Scarlet Cloak. I bought it in Maine and never picked it up. Ginger is a switchboard operator at a swanky hotel that shifts to housing for the airline crews after Pearl Harbor is attacked. No singing, no dancing, so far. I got about 60 pages into with no effort. But, boy, is it a relic of its time. Nothing classy like a Warners’ women’s picture. Grade B, if that, all the way.

More Facebook nonsense: Everyone is sharing the media story that for the first time NY has no new deaths from the virus and aren't they the role model for everything bright and beautiful and didn't they do everything perfectly.  I asked a very simple question: Why is it that a mere three weeks ago every media outlet and Facebook page was posting photos of New Yorkers partying in the streets, sans masks, not social distancing, at bars with no masks not distancing, in Central Park with no masks not distancing, with all the shaming and outrage you'd  think would accompany these dastardly photos, with captions saying, "C'mon, NY, we're better than this" "WTF" "wait until you see the spike in two weeks" blah, blah, blah.  I said these two stories do not mesh.  A couple of people responded, on saying he thought it was just playing itself out and the other agreeing with me, that something is wrong somewhere.

Then some jerk, an uppity, no-talent singer, starts taking me on, denying there were such photos, etc.  So, I found 'em, as reported by the NY Times (headline: NY is acting like the pandemic is over!") and another major paper, linked them, and yes they included all those photos that were being shared.  Then this wazoo did what they all do - move the goalposts - rather than simply acknowledge, he said that this doesn't really travel outdoors - it's indoors, bars and restaurants.  So, suddenly it's not a danger outdoors?  I asked the obvious question: If that's so, why are we wearing masks, why were people blamed and shamed daily for not wearing masks, if not a one of them got the virus.  He then did the next obvious thing: He said I had no right to comment because I'm in CA and when CA flattens the curve then I can talk.  I said, what does this have to do with CA?  I said, the stories and photos were either truthful or they were lies - that's it.  Either outdoors is dangerous or it's not.  If thousands of New Yorkers were partying in the streets, if no one got it while demonstrating without masks, then what is the "Wear the effing mask" about.  Clearly it's meaningless when they need it to be meaningless, when they try to move the goalposts.  Then he got personal and I had to call him a baboon :)  Then I blocked him.  And to make sure he still didn't do his dirty business, I nuked the thread in its entirety, which is a little Facebook trick I learned.  If you're posting in a thread and your post gets responses, if you remove that initial post, the post and EVERY response goes away, leaving only the person's original thread and its other comments. This guy is someone I thought I'd blocked long ago.  I've seen videos of him "singing" - not someone I would EVER work with because he's got not an ounce of subtlety or interpretive talent.

And in other things that have amused me this day: the fact that both elmore and Ginny forgot our show was last night, amusing only in that could I have been more relentless about posting about it, whether in the notes or on this here board, over and over again, as we headed closer?  :)  I expect forgetfulness from friend Druxy because no one in these shows used to be his publicity client :) but forgetting about the show?  :)  Smiley faces abound in case anyone thinks I'm serious.  I am so happy everyone seemed to enjoy the show.  These take so much time and effort to do, so it's gratifying and I only wish I could figure out how those Facebook things work.  According to them now, the video has had over 1,000 views - where were those people during the show, or is it maybe that the number that shows up when it's live is just people who've liked that page?

I tried a new restaurant today, a vegan Italian place. I'd been meaning to try it, but life so often gets in the way. It was quite good. The Caesar salad was, I think, the best I've eaten anywhere and the minestrone soup, which I sampled, was very good. I ordered a pizza, too, which was just OK, but I'm not a fan of pizza and don't really know why I wanted it. I'll try their vegan fettucini alfredo another day. The sad thing: I was their only customer.

It was 1:30 pm, past the lunch hour and, yes, I'm sure they get delivery orders. They opened the business maybe six months or so ago and did it on a family-style concept: one large table only. Not practical during Covid. They may have to rethink that. This restaurant deserves a better location with outdoor seating. I want to see it succeed.

This guy is someone I thought I'd blocked long ago.  I've seen videos of him "singing" - not someone I would EVER work with because he's got not an ounce of subtlety or interpretive talent.

And the governor threatened to shut the city down if they didn't behave themselves.  Maybe the threat worked.  To say it doesn't travel at all outdoors is not an explanation to your question.  I wish I could find one.  I think the city overall has done a fantastic job.  Maybe locals have a different opinion and can explain this better.  I can't find anything.

I would be very happy if anyone can come up with a better line of protection from the virus than wearing a mask and washing your hands.  Until then the only way to know if it works is if everyone does it.

Not wearing masks is obviously not working.

That's great.  The only time I tried gluten-free pasta it was pretty bad. 

I was skeptical. But there are so many good vegan and gluten-free options now. Did I mention how I love vegan ice cream?   ;)

Yes.  Every time I am going to try one Keith says I am wasting our money.  I am so picky he is probably correct which is why I stick to what I like.

I agree Laura, I just feel bad for the businesses who invested lots of time and money to comply with the CDC regs and they don't get a chance to prove it so they can stay open.   What was the point if you're going to get lumped in with the businesses who did nothing.

For those I missed, thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday.  I had 7 phone calls that kept me pretty busy.  One was from my best friend in high school who I haven't seen since probably 1980 or so.  We haven't talked much over the years, but she called when my dad died. She may have called when my sister died too, I don't remember that time frame very well.  Anyway, some other close friends called and  a couple family members, it was so wonderful to talk to everyone after months of being alone.  It really was a nice day

I went to my office today for an hour or two.  I enjoyed being there, but the construction on the road below my window was really loud.   I have gotten so used to working at home that I'm putting off going back as long as possible.  The federal court system never really shut down completely and his been back up and running completely since the beginning of July.   The state court system opened up this week.   Once I start having a bunch of hearings it won't make sense to work from home all the time. I'll go back then.

This is what I've been saying.  All these restaurants here in LA that spent money reconfiguring their spaces and training their staff are treated like crap, getting lumped in with the few who didn't comply.  It's like kindergarten and I just don't care for either our governor or mayor right now.
