That's possible, but they wouldn't care, either.  They all feel the same way.

I slept rather well.  I had a long dream in which I owned a shop, but I cannot remember now what kibnd iof shop it was.  I remember a second dream better.  I was involved with a production of Cole Porter's Jubilee, and one of the stars had a trashy, hoodlum boyfriend, possessor of no talents beyond his looks, who insisted on being in the show while the director, myslef, and others were trying to keep him out.

Steuart Bedford knew Benjamin Britten from his childhood.  His mother was a member of the English Opera Group who sang in the premieres of The Rape of Lucretia and the wonderful comic opera Albert Herring.  I think he has by now recorded most of the Britten operas.  His first wife was soprano Norma Burrows.  Here's a photo of him, his second wife, and daughters after Prince William awarded him with the OBE.  He's beginning to look like Britten.

Is that your reaction to the shingles shot? And it's the second shot that does this?

One person I know who went through that was one of our wonderful cast members who dragged herself to a rehearsal one evening and it was all she could do to function. But she hadn't missed a rehearsal or performance in all of her years, and she wasn't about to start then.

The best news I can impart to you is that the next day she was fine.

DR ELMORE - the Dream-o-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you feel you have a variety of talents to sell and appreciate the open market.  It also says that you feel that some folks "get by" less on their talents than crony-ism or unearned reputation.

DR Jane that is great that you got an appointment. Although super annoying that they wouldn't let you do it at the same time as Keith.  Things are very different here. We cannot sign up to get the vaccine. They are still on long term senior residents and health care workers.  In the paper today it said that people in my age group should be able to get the first shot by late Spring.

Jrand, it's because you used brackets.  That's the code for the strikethrough.  If you use parentheses (s) versus [ s ], it won't create the line.  Or you can add spaces, like I did. :)

Thanks, Sing, but I know there's a problem and another procedure will be needed. They can't schedule it until the surgeon evaluates today's results. It'll be another outpatient surgery and, though not pleasant, it won't be too major, either. This doctor has his own little OR and his own nurses, so it's much easier than going to a hospital.

Absolutely safer. I would feel very reluctant to go to a hospital right now, but I don't mind this. It's much easier to control a small facility and small staff, and no one enters without the usual Covid safety check.

Given all the news yesterday, some of you may have missed this:

Melania actually wore FLATS!! That's right. She boarded the plane out of DC in her usual stilettos (and designer suit), but landed in Florida wearing wearing flats and an almost-muumuu. Quite a transformation. Does this mean a new Melania is in the works?

I saw the muumuu. Ugh and ugly. Like something that even Peggy Lipton wouldn''t have worn on Mod Squad.

;D

Sorry you are not feeling well, DR John G.

I didn't have any reaction whatsoever to either of my two Shingrix shots. I count myself fortunate.

This reminded me to finally schedule an appointment to get my shot.  I'll be getting it in two weeks on February 5.  I was told that I can schedule the second shot at that time.

So, my sister is saying that she heard/read paper masks are much more effective against the new coronavirus strains than cloth masks. Anyone else encounter the same?

I had an excellent article I can't seem to find.  I believe cloth masks should be two layers with an insert for a filter.  Cloth masks should be an N95 or what we recently purchased, and love, the KF94.


This is the adult size Keith purchased

I haven't heard anything about the new strains, other than they spread more easily. :-\

Listened to Korngold's Die Tod Stadt - very good and melodic. Now listening Laurent Petitgirard's Joseph Merrick: The Elephant Man, which is really good - very much like his film music. And I think that I'll watch the DVD of it this night.

No viewing tonight. Muse Margaret called and loved the final batch of pages up until the final two, which she HATED. Very similar to her reaction to the final chapter of Rewind. She said she thought maybe it was her and I should have someone else look at it, but I just kept hammering away at her to get to the root of the problem and once we did I saw exactly why she was so bothered by it. We talked it through, figured out how to fix it, and she went and ate dinner while I fixed it. It's funny to me, but it involved rewriting one long speech and adjusting the half-page that follows it. And doing that changed the entire tone and feeling of the ending and she was so right about it. And then I wrote a two page additional chapter, which I'd thought about doing originally and my initial instinct was right. Then I read her the changes and she loved it - left her feeling good and our protagonist remained true to himself. And that's why she's the Muse.

https://www.mic.com/p/its-time-to-double-mask-it-experts-say-58185077

Or, as I mentioned 2 layers with a filter in-between.

The fit us also very important.  They need to be secure and not open at the sides or sliding around.  I love the secure fit on our new masks.

There were many custom made masks at the inauguration.  Aside from beautiful they fit well and were thick.  I suspect they had filters in them.

I made it a little more than a third through the film, before I had to shut it off. I thought the cast was very good, as was the original cast, but I just think the play is horrible.

I've listened to the original cast album, but couldn't get through the whole thing, either.  They all just seemed to be so mean...of course, I was listening with 21st century sensibilities.

Back in the Sixties there was all this speculation of whether Edward Albee had actually written WHO’s AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF to be played by four men.  Of course, that is totally stupid, if for no other reason of Martha and George’s son.

The whole idea is ridiculous.  Henry Fonda and Richard Burton tried to mount an all-male version, but Albee refused to allow it.

Wasn't there supposed to be a regional production where I think they wanted to cast black man as George and his estate wouldn't allow that, either. :o
