Well, you've read the notes, the notes were pleasant and written on a Sunday (evening) in the Valley, and now it is time for you to post until the pleasant Valley cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PECUNIARY!
-
BK, that newspaper clip in your notes doesn't say anything about The First Nudie Musical. Am I missing something? :-\
-
It says "Sneak Preview" - that was us. In those days they rarely said what the preview was - it was always a surprise.

Ohhhh! I did miss something. I didn't even see that because I was only looking at the titles in all caps! Dopey me. ::)
;D

Today, a new co-worker starts. Her name is Vivian...I think. I'll find out officially when I get there. A new employee's first day is usually filling out a lot of forms and there's some kind of new employee orientation, but I think that that's online now, so she'll be watching videos to learn some things.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I have a busy morning before Access-A-Ride picks me up around 9:30. I hope this whole experience goes well.
-
I had a very good night of sleep after the lousy one the night before. Annabelle has abandoned me for her aerie in the bookcases. I am not happy about this because I can no longer climb the ladder to vacuum it or replace her pillow with another. It's got to be really dusty up there, and that is not good for her allergies.
-
Good morning, friends.

~~~ACCESS-A-RIDE VIBES~~~ for DR elmore3003!

No blue Monday vibes for all!

~~~ACCESS-A-RIDE VIBES~~~ for DR elmore3003!
Thanks! I don't know if they will be on time or later, and I do not want to be late to my appointment.
-
Kitty cleanup is finished, the bed is made and my meds taken. I'm pretty much at loose ends for 30 minutes before I have to deal with the ordeal of putting on my shoes and switching bags on my walker. The recyclables bag comes off and the trave bag goes on.
-
Thanks for the Sondheim link, DR George.

DR elmore3003: the trepidation of the unknown. I'm sure all will work out fine.
-
Good morning, all.

New adventure travel vibes for DR Elmore!
-
:)
:D Perfect.
-
I thought I'd sleep longer than I did, but it was a solid sleep, and since I've been up, I've appreciated how rested I actually do feel. This is a ME day, the first in a few weeks, and I intend to savor it.
-
Glad that DR CHAS SMITH is to home.

Vibes for DR ELMORE!

DR GEORGE it seems that Harold Lloyd lost his index finger and thumb on his right hand in an accident with a prop bomb in 1919. He wore a special set of gloves with prosthetic fingers on that hand and sometimes it looks as if he is making a gesture here and there......
-
I shall have to think about the TOD.
-
Today I start rehearsals in earnest.....four nights this week.....five nights next week.....and then six nights the next week and six the next week....including performances.....
-
DR elmore3003: the trepidation of the unknown. I'm sure all will work out fine.
Well, it didn't! I realized by 9:45, when the ride had not yet shown up, that I should have booked the trip for 90 minutes before the appointment. So, by 10:00 I had cancelled the trips today, cancelled and rescheduled my appointment for next Tuesday.
-
On a happier note, I had a nice talk with Jeff, our super, while I waited. It turns out that he has learned from the past months that the Man With The Bike is the Enormous Jerk I have claimed for years!
-
My legs are killing me, and after I call my urologist about this bone scan, I'm having a lie-down.
-
I am sorry, DR elmore3003. I am sure that using Access-A-Ride in Manhattan has its challenges.
-
TWO!!
-
Happy Tax Day, everyone!
-
Also, Happy Syttende Mai! (May 17, Norwegian Constitution Day).
-
:)
;D
-
Monday morning greetings! Quiet week ahead...
-
DR ChasSmith, I'm glad you had a smooth drive home yesterday.

Oh, dear! Sorry to hear things didn't work out as planned, DR Elmore.
-
Today we are returning to the gym.
-
Since the conveniently 24 Hour Fitness we went to has closed, we are going to the LA Fitness Keith used to use.
-
First we have to sign up, then find out if we mind working out wearing masks.
It might be a short workout.

So ads are in.....waiting for proofs. Audition story submitted to the print media.....

Oh, my goodness! That's fantastic! AND they're including: “Original Cast Album: ‘Co-Op,’” a 2019 episode of the TV series Documentary Now! that parodies the film! ;D

I couldn't remember how he lost his fingers, but I did know that he did. And yesterday when Dennis James the organist spoke about the movies and the music that he was playing, he did mention that whole story so that people who didn't know could watch and see how he didn't/couldn't move his index finger and thumb.

Good afternoon!
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
We now have all videos but two - one of which I know is coming today. The other will come sometime this week and hopefully sooner than later, but I anticipated this from the start, that there'd be one person who'd be the last to get it to us.

My sentiments exactly, DR George! It was my own fault. I had been warned to allow 90 minues, but I never thought that meant the ride to the appointment.
-
I am pretty excited about that new Criterion release.
I remember when I had that title on a bootleg VHS.
-
I must be off to rehearsal....we are using our microphones so the Sound Bully will be there telling us where we MUST be and how we MUST behave or we will NOT be miked.....
Oh wait....I think that person got moved to the Light Board. This may be easier than I thought.

Sounds aggravating, DR Jrand70.
Would you rather not be heard, or not be seen? :D
-
Off work and going for a walk.

Back from picking up packages, one of which contained some Keto friendly stuff, like no carb rye bread - I made two fried egg sandwiches - net zero carbs and while I wouldn't say the bread is great, it does the trick when there's stuff that's tasty within the two slices. And only 45 calories a slice.

I started a text about the bird, the bunting. My spellcheck would rather type Bunuel instead.

Hello, everyone.

DR Elmore, so sorry your ride was a bust. In my experience these rides often do not go well. I receive 12 free round-trips to medical appointments each year as part of my health insurance -- a great perk, in my view. But it's always a pain. The previous ride scheduling company was most likely overseas, as all the reps had accents and were sometimes difficult to understand. they'd ask the time of your appointment, then manually calculate the pick-up time. But they allowed too much extra time, an hour for what is easily a 30-minute trip. The current scheduling company does it by computer and it doesn't allow enough time. If my appointment is at 9:15, they'd say the pick-up time was at 8:49, then say that the ride might be there 15 minutes earlier or 15 minutes later. What?! I have to fudge my appointment time accordingly. Then there are the kamikaze drivers.
I've often said that if I knew a reliable driver I'd schedule with him or her and pay for it myself, but I don't know of anyone. Ubers aren't always available, but maybe they would be if you scheduled in advance. I haven't found a solution, but I do appreciate the $50+ that it saves me.
I hope you find a way to deal with Access-a-Ride that is satisfactory.

Today's errand run to Trader Joe's surprised me when I saw quite a few empty parking spaces in their lot. This is almost unheard of. Has everyone tossed their masks and gone on vacation? I think TJ's has discontinued the vegan ice cream that I love, but I don't think they would have lost any business due to it. There was an employee at the door, but she wasn't offering hand sanitizer. We were all wearing masks, though.

Hi, Jane. How was the gym?
-
The little taco joint actually had two other customers (at 2pm) when I stopped in. Many days lately I've been the only one. I'm glad to see things picking up.
-
Hi Jeanne. It was nice thanks.
Every other treadmill & cross trainer had a sign saying "out of service" making it comfortable to use them. I liked the treadmill at this gym very much.
Before using the treadmill I found a leg push machine I was comfortable with. Since it has been awhile I kept the weight down on it and did more repetitions than I used to do. I have to be careful not to over stress my muscles and shut them down. For now this is all I will do.

Good. I wouldn't want them to go out of business.
-
Asking about the gym reminds me I need to download their app to my phone for touchless check in.
-
TTFN.

Walk completed. Nothing else of note to report.

When I went to pre-order the Criterion Company documentary, I noticed that Criterion has a streaming service. I don't know if they offer every Criterion release, but it's $100 for a year. I wonder if that might be worth it. Apparently many of the Blu Ray extras are offered, along with the films, for streaming.
-
Okay, dear Jane, no more excuses for you - just got the book successfully uploaded to B&N for Nook. Should be live somewhere in the next day or so. :)
-
Great, thanks. I still have to read the books already checked out from the library first, but this will certainly help me read it sooner. :)

That's the price of three movies on Blu-Ray.

I don't know if you can see this, but it's the view from my friend Carol's backyard. It's a view I've always found stunning, but the color of the sky in this photo is particularly awesome.
-
You can imagine the riot of color it is in the fall.

Yes, John, it is!

Wow. I would never leave home!
-
It is a beautiful view.
-
Keith did not realize we are driving to Bainbridge Island on Memorial Day. I do hope George & TCB realize it is Memorial Day.
-
Planning a few days down at the coast.
-
It’s time for a break.
-

Lovely.

Returning to the gym made me super hungry today. I returned home and ate three times as many calories as I burned off. I don't really mind the calories as much as I mind the pain from eating ;D
-
I am sorry the access ride didn’t work ou Elmore

Just finished watching the Roundabout Theater's production of Zora Neale Hurston's Spunk. The music was wonderful and it worked well in the Zoom format. The play itself was a little broad, Hurston didn't practice the art of playwriting as much as she did short stories and novels. But it was enjoyable from start to finish. And like BK's productions, the sound quality was good throughout. Nobody's voice disappeared or started crackling. No feedback, no echoes.
-
Can we get off this page?
-
In one ...
-
Four!
-
Good night, friends.
-
Time for me to leave work, but as usual, I'll be back...eventual-LEE! (a 1776 reference). ;)
-
spunk was available only through tonight. After it was done, I went outside and finished up a yard project I've been working on for the past two months or so. I had trimmed back some overgrown shrubs, and discovered that a couple had died. The ones still alive are beginning to come back, but I was also faced with what to do with all that trimmed stuff. The green barrel gets filled quickly and only gets picked up on Mondays. Well, I filled today's bucket to the brim and it seems to be all but a few small limbs. It fills good to see the end of project like that.
-
I can now try to figure out what I'm going to do with the new space that I've cleared. I know I have to get rid of some pesky volunteers and invasives. Thankfully, they're all under two feet tall and can probably be taken care of with some light shoveling to get rid of their roots.
-
But it has left me exhausted. I'm probably going to bed.
-
I would also like to finish listening to my book, Hood Feminism, but I think I had too much for tonight. I can finish it tomorrow.
-
Finished with my viewing and listening to music.
-
Today I start rehearsals in earnest.....four nights this week.....five nights next week.....and then six nights the next week and six the next week....including performances.....
I am so happy you will be playing Earnest!
-
Two and one half hours!!
-
This is unacceptable!
-
I want to make it clear to all of you that there is no truth to the rumors about Mr. Gates and myself.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone???

Where in tarnation IS everyone???
That was my next question.

I can’t do all of this.
-
Not alone.
-
Jane can no longer go to the gym.
-
We don’t want her too tired to post.
-
And perhaps an alarm clock for George.
-
I woke up this morning with ahorrible pain my forearm.
-
I am thinking a voodoo doll.
-
Possibly Melinda Gates.
-
It has hurt all day and all evening.
-
Who has been vaccinated?
-
And who has not?
-
And perhaps an alarm clock for George.
That's never a bad thing. ::)

I don’t trust anyone.

Stephen Colbert just hugged his stage manager.

Just one more post.

That's too bad. I've known and worked with several fantastic stage managers...not all of them, but a few really good ones.

And it is my right arm.

Oh, no! I hope it feels better quickly!!

Which is not my dominant arm.

I rubbed some maryjane on it, but it didn’t help.

Well, here's something...
-
It's raining here in Tumwater.
-
And it's not a light rain, but not a torrential downpour, either.

I have my skylight open and the sound is kind of soothing.
