Well, you've read the notes, the notes were lazy and loafing, and now it is time for you to post until the lazy and loafing cows come home.

And the word of the day is: BADINAGE!

If there's badinage, does that mean there's goodinage?

Today is going to be a day.  My sister wants me to come over and help put up Christmas lights on her front porch (she already put lights on her tree), then I'm ushering for a local production of a play called Until the Flood.  I don't know what it's about, but I'll find out soon enough.

DR JohnG, Foxy Sondheim died in March 1992, I think. Mary Rodgers supposedly sent Steve a note opr telegram with two words: I'm jealous.

Dorothy Rodgers died in August 1992.

Exhausted last night, which was a very weird performance with weird things happening with lights and sound, but I had the most solid sleep I've had in the last few weeks. The housemates were away doing something in Mystic, CT, and Mikey let me sleep in generously. What a mensch. I didn't even wake till 8 am, and I laid there basking in restfulness for almost an hour.

And thanks to some angry gods or a retro Uranus or something, we got a small amount of snow early this morning. Thankfully, it's mostly visible on areas of grass and trees, and nary a sidewalk or driveway. Thankfully.

BK posted two beautiful Sondheim songs, beautifully orchestrated by DR Elmore. Wonderful stuff.

I need to put a few of these CDs into the car, along with some Trotter ones, for my 30-minute commutes to and from the show.

I'm also planning a little Sondheim Fest for the coming couple of weeks, consisting of watching the filmed productions of Sweeney Todd, Sunday in the Park, Into the Woods (with an apologetic tip o' the hat to DR Elmore), and Passion -- which, shamefully, I have never even watched. I only have the latter on laserdisc, in fact; has it been issued on DVD? [EDIT: Yes, it was released by Image Entertainment.] These will be followed by a couple of the televised concerts, and then perhaps a couple of the revivals. We shall see.

You can really see the caring in that photo. 

(If the caring is not real, never lose that photographer's phone number. My grandma Fannie had said when she found a great hairdresser,  if her hairdresser ever moved away, she'd have to move with her.)

Sunday afternoon greetings!  I am back from my college football marathon in which the Ohio team I was rooting FOR won (Cincinnati) and the one I was rooting AGAINST (Ohio State) lost to Michigan, 42-27.  It was the sweetest Michigan victory over OSU since 1969, my sophomore year.

DR Jane’s good medical report,

so many moving tributes to Stephen Sondheim.

Thank you for letting me lurk.

A friend of mine posted this observation:

Today, Jews and Christians begin their rituals of light - Hanukkah and Advent - with Kwanzaa joining in on December 6th. All share the practice of lighting growing numbers of candles to symbolize light overcoming darkness, no matter what its form. May we joyously embrace and reflect this light throughout this season and beyond.

Wishing the peace and joy of the season to all who celebrate, in whatever form.

Nice.  It is also a reminder of why people say a general Happy Holidays.  I don't understand why people think the expression is an effort to take Christmas from them.

And now, it's been 10 minutes since I got the shot and I feel fine, so I'm off to my sister's, then I'll usher downtown.

It might take 24-48 hours for a reaction, DR George - if you have one at all.

My shots were in the morning and I was reacting by 7:00pm

Everywhere I looked, the Moderna was by appointment, and here at the local Safeway, the Pfizer was available as a walk-in, so I decided to get it over with. 

It makes sense to get what is available.

Now get that second Shingrix :)

I know, right??  When I got the first shot, I was told that there was a shortage of doses and that Kaiser would let me know when I could get the second dose, but I haven't heard anything from them!

I think it is about time to call them and let them go.  You really have gone too long between shots.

I wondered if there was a limit between how long one should wait before the next shot.  I'll ask about that, too.

Chances are a reaction won't hit until tonight, hopefully after you are done ushering.  Vibes you only have a mild reaction.

Since the time between the Shingrix vaccinations is 2 to 6 months I suggest you not wait until your appointment but call and ask about it.  Also let them know they said they would get back to you and didn't.

Elf was an interesting musical. The first act is overwritten and too long by about 20 minutes. Could have been trimmed and maybe even a song lost. The second act was a paragon of libretto writing. The words rarely got in the way of the songs.

This is another of "those" days, I'm afraid.

Up early, had some coffee and learned that my cousin Debra, daughter of my recently deceased aunt, had to call an ambulance for her husband Saturday evening.  The hospital has admitted him.  Poor Rob has many problems, not the least of which has been a bout of bladder cancer.  Today, however, they are assessing his liver functions.

He has been, to my mind, an "energizer bunny".  I learn of all his ailments and hospital visits and radiation, etc., but every time I see him, he is on his feet and pleasant and non-complaining.

There was absolutely nothing for me to do except pray a little and offer to help when they need me.

And, of course, I fretted over it all day.

Getting older is a very mixed blessing. And the older I get, the harder it is to see the blessings for what they are because of the people you lose.

Sigh.

I had both Pfizer shots in April and March.  And then the Pfizer booster plus flu shot on the same day in September.

One week after, I had one heck of a bout of something or other.  Felt like flu.  Lasted three days.
