After getting my email from Local 802 yesterday afternoon and debating methods of suicide that would not jeopardize my life insurance, I callewd my accountant and moved Monday's appointment to Wednesday. If I know that I will be getting any money back from the IRS, I ma be able to hold our some payments until the return shows up.

If I weren't stuck with that goddamned Ohio property tax, I could have paid everything off for February and possibly even begun paying the healthcare bills that are now turning up like proverbial bad pennies. Believe me, it takes a lot of will power to not send hitmen to take out two dumbass brothers.

It’s hard to find chili in the city that introduced chili powder to the marketplace. I think it’s because everyone has a different idea of what it is.

Dog that lives at the Shady Rest has a petticoat that he hangs on the water tower with the three girls - but he doesn't wear it in the show.  I love that little dog.....his real name is Higgins and he later became Benji....   Frank Inn who trained a lot of animals is from my hometown and I went to school with a lot of his nieces.  Nice folks.

The Tweedy dog looks like he was played by Duke from The Beverly Hillbillies in a guest start spot.

My great nephew - another one - is having a ZOOM wedding in a few hours.

I am going to my brother's house to watch.  Their address is not on the ZOLA website, so I haven't been able to send them a card.  Maybe my brother can give me an address.

The wedding is in Kentucky where my nephew lives and where I guess my great nephew and his new wife will be living.

As DR singdaw mentioned, I have had a loss in my family...again.

I received a call at 6:12 a.m. from my cousin Debra informing me that her daddy, my Uncle Rock, had died around 4:30 a.m.

He was the husband of my mom's sister, Doris, who passed away last year the week before Thanksgiving.

He had just turned 89 at the end of January.  His last couple of weeks were rather sad as he was mostly bedridden and didn't know who was with him or where his wife was.

It's both a relief and a devastation for my cousins.  This time last year, they were marvelling that they were the only people their ages that they knew whose parents were both alive.

I feel sorry for my cousins, and I am sad that he has had no quality of life for the past three or four months, but...I never felt close to him.  This simply is what it is.

The upshot for me is that I went back to bed thinking I could fall back asleep, but I could not.

And when I got up, I discovered I had tweaked a nerve in my lower left back.

And it hurts, and it is debilitating.

Drat.

Then there are the weirdly asexual Mexican characters, who have happy-go-lucky cockfights and play lots of music.

Kirk Douglas singing is, well, not one of his greater talents.

It's also entertaining because of the cast. I like Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory and Sam Neill, the main players.

It's set in 1919, but some of the hair styles are a bit anachronistic.

She started the show with "Both Sides Now," and sang songs from her newest CD that is officially released today!

There were some being sold in the lobby, but I didn't get a chance to buy one.
Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: George on February 25, 2022, 10:50:58 PM
She didn't come out to the lobby afterward (of course), but none of the CDs were pre-signed, like some other artists have done.

Oh, well...it was a great concert.
Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: George on February 25, 2022, 10:52:41 PM
She just stood there and sang while playing her guitar and/or accompanied by her music director playing the piano.
Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: George on February 25, 2022, 10:54:13 PM
At the top of the second act, she accompanied herself on the piano for a few songs, then her music director came back out, and she only sang and didn't play the guitar.
Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: George on February 25, 2022, 10:56:04 PM
Her last two songs after bows (and the fake end of the show) were "Amazing Grace" with audience sing-along, then "Send in the Clowns." :'(

At 82 years old, her voice certainly wasn't as supple as it was, but she still had the range! 
Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: George on February 25, 2022, 10:57:47 PM
And she just stood there the whole time!

She never sat down, other than when she played the piano, and she didn't have a bottle of water on stage at all.
Title: Re: BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
Post by: George on February 25, 2022, 11:00:13 PM
She did use sheet music and possibly lyric sheets, and she did have to restart a couple of songs because she screwed up the beginnings (and took it al in stride), but she then sang the songs flawlessly, and the audience still loved her.

As DR singdaw mentioned, I have had a loss in my family...again.

I received a call at 6:12 a.m. from my cousin Debra informing me that her daddy, my Uncle Rock, had died around 4:30 a.m.

He was the husband of my mom's sister, Doris, who passed away last year the week before Thanksgiving.

He had just turned 89 at the end of January.  His last couple of weeks were rather sad as he was mostly bedridden and didn't know who was with him or where his wife was.

It's both a relief and a devastation for my cousins.  This time last year, they were marvelling that they were the only people their ages that they knew whose parents were both alive.

I feel sorry for my cousins, and I am sad that he has had no quality of life for the past three or four months, but...I never felt close to him.  This simply is what it is.




My sympathies, Ron.

She will be safer with Rock.

There were three couples with physical limitations who sat up on the mezzanine.  Unfortunate, the restrooms in the mezzanine lobby aren't handicapped accessible, but the elevator is fairly close to the seating.

Yeah, but the time they catch the elevator and get downstairs, the Intermission will be over.
