Well, you've read the notes, the notes were descending, and now it is time for you to post until the descending cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: VANGUARD!
-
More fun pictures, BK!

Well, this is certainly going to be a weekend! This Sunday will be my niece's 38th birthday! For her birthday presents, she wanted to know if I could take her to Tacoma to a glass blowing place so that she could get some new glass pumpkins (which she collects), and also go to a vegan cupcake place and get some cupcakes. I said sure, so I'm taking off half the day from work and we'll take her car to Tacoma (since my new car hasn't arrived yet >:( ) and then I'll go to work for half a day. But then after work tonight...

After Wednesday's Mamma Mia! rehearsal, the woman playing Donna (her real name is Michelle) came up to me and asked if I would like (and would be able) to be a part of Evergreen Playhouse's next One From the Shelf (https://evergreenplayhouse.com/ofts) staged reading of Charley's Aunt that she was directing. One actor had to quit at the (almost) last minute and wondered if I could do it. Its only performance is tomorrow night! Well, I said that I could and that I would, so I am. :)
-
I'm reading the role Brassett, the butler. I didn't realize that the play is so long! The script is 136 pages! That's a lot of words! Tonight at 6:00 will be the first rehearsal that I'll be at...it is just a staged reading, so scripts will be in hand and no memorization will be needed. I don't know if they've had any other rehearsals. Tomorrow, we'll meet at 5:00 and read through the show before the one and only 7:30 performance.
-
But before that, my friend David is coming down to Olympia to visit, so that'll be fun. He's not planning to stay all day, so I'll have plenty of time to get to Centralia after he leaves.
-
Then Sunday, the family is getting together at my sister's house for my niece's birthday. The vegan cupcakes are the dessert. :)
And that's my weekend.
-
But now, I must hie myself to bed so that I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the drive up to Tacoma and back, and then Centralia and back...that's definitely lots o' driving today!
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, friends.
-
WOW!! Break a leg, DR George!
-
Congratulations on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament, bk. 115,000 - that's a lot of posts!

Sorry about your hand, DR vixmom. ~~~QUICK HEALING VIBES~~~ to you!
Did you go back to see if there is blood all over the files inside the cabinet?
What we do for our art job!

Good morning, all!

DR vixmom, do you plan on checking out that drawer to see what assaulted you? Are you up-to-date on your tetanus shot?

Oh, no I didn’t…I probably should do that today

But I’m not sure I want to go near that thing again, it bites

My only news this morning is bad. I think I may lose the ballet job because they want to pay much less than what I'd like for two hours of music and a large orchestra. On top of that, the recording project may be in jeopardy. I think the gods are out to kill me.
-
Vibes for better news for Elmore
-
DR vixmom, do you plan on checking out that drawer to see what assaulted you? Are you up-to-date on your tetanus shot?
I think I’m good with my tetanus shot, I’m pretty sure it was the inside edge of the back of the drawer that got me

Keep your hands and face out of that file drawer, vixmom!
Don't you know about the kinds of things that can take up residence in there?

Beautiful morning.

We have a Good Friday service at our church tonight at 7 p.m.

Great photos in the notes, BK. Love the woman’s Mondrian coat.

Well, the ballet seems in limbo for me. The entire budget for the Indiana University production is about the fee I was asking for. It's interesting to me that a major music school who must be luring major retired opera divas and other names to be on their faculty for a good price can agree to mount a production of what looks to be a major event for peanuts.

Well, this is certainly going to be a weekend! This Sunday will be my niece's 38th birthday! For her birthday presents, she wanted to know if I could take her to Tacoma to a glass blowing place so that she could get some new glass pumpkins (which she collects), and also go to a vegan cupcake place and get some cupcakes.

Please share photos of the glass pumpkins.

How is your hand today? Please watch carefully as hands can easily get infected.

Happy Passover or/and Easter to everyone
Telephone vibes for DR JANE.
Thank you. I am on hold trying to schedule a medical test now, just in case I can't use my phone later today.

We have our supplies laid in. Though technically, our matzoh is not kosher for Passover.

I understand the mythology of the phoenix rising from the ashes, but I will never understand this "dying to save us" nonsense and a religion built on torture, beating and execution. That should put a lot of Christian panties in a bunch!

And even though I am approaching 60, I will be the youngest at the table. So I will be asking the four questions. :)

The four questions:
Can we have take-out tonight?
What’s on Netflix?
Can I have some more wine?
Are we done yet?

And the ubiquitous fifth:
What is it, fish?

We're back in town. I didn't think to take any pictures of the pumpkins today, but I can on Sunday. And it turns out that it wasn't a vegan cupcake place...it's just a cupcake place.

BTW, when is your birthday, Singdaw?

Here are my lovely neighbors Ann and Jen, who take such good care of me. I really, really love these two ladies.
-
I just called Goodspered and inquired about Brad Johnson. I hope I get good news back from the call.
-
:)
-
I'll definitely have to add that 5th question into my siddur, DR John G.
And given gefilte fish, it is particularly apt.
-
DR John G., my birthday is September 14.
-
Should I plan for a parcel of baked goods? :D
-
Nice to see Ann and Jen. They are dears!

So, you are a mere 14 days older than me.

Yes, they are.

Hah!! :)

I don't like Passover matzoh and stopped buying it years ago. I now stock up on regular matzoh before it is no longer available.

From DR Singdaw:
Good night, DR Jane. And good luck tomorrow.
Thank you. Details after I go for a much needed walk.

I'm up, I'm up - eleven hours of sleep. I think I've now finally caught up so don't need to do that again and won't.

Our drummer was feeling ill on Wednesday - tested negative. Feeling ill on Thursday - tested negative - feeling better today - tested positive. So, there's a sub coming in tonight and tomorrow - but can't do Sunday - looking for someone to do that - then our guy will be back. His son, who usually subs for him, lives with him. He's tested negative but...

Bummer. Drummer vibes for BK.

Hello, everyone.

The BIG news here:
BRIAN is BACK!
Yes, my cleaning guy, Brian, is here after TWO YEARS! He's scrubbing away at all the spots I've missed. There won't be time today to do it all, but he's putting a big dent in it. I've been trying to throw out more and will continue to do so. Then we'll be able to reach even more dust.
As he cleans, I did some laundry and cleaned out a bunch of email. It certainly piles up.
-
I love the photo of BK holding the placard of his youthful head shot.

I also liked the photo from the other day of how NOT to lean into the frame.

LOL!

Sorry, no friends in So Carolina. I've found it surprisingly difficult to find anyone to clean. It took me 3 years to find Brian. He isn't available on a regular basis, but he does all the doesn't-need-it-often stuff for me and is very thorough. It's a great help.

DR ELMORE it's Indiana unless it's done with a round ball and has a half time - it can't get realistic funding.

Excitement in the neighborhood.....sort of.

And on Passover, too!

I have finished Vladimir. The final word was today’s Wordle.

A Texas Citrus Rustic Cake for Easter is in the oven. The cake is better after a day or two.

Ha!
But this is sad, because Indiana University is by all accounts a great school. I was even hearing about the quality of their music department back when I was in school, and I still do.

I decided Best Buy has the nicest staff and we should go there to get my phone, and they guarantee they will set it up vs depending on how busy they are.
-
We arrived just their opening time of 11:00 and didn't get out of there until 1:30.
-
After getting the phone I wanted a bit of time was spent setting it up and transferring my backed up info from iCloud to the new phone.
-
Then came the moment of truth, would the phone stream into my hearing aids. Keith used his phone to call me and.... :(
-
For an hour one attempt after another failed. Just as we had about given up our wonderful salesman did a software update on the phone.

YAY, SUCCESS :) :) :)

I have watched something I very much enjoyed today.
Amazon Prime is offering "Why Didn't They Ask Evans?", an Agatha Christie mystery.
It is a three-part TV presentation written and directed by Hugh Laurie, based on the Christie novel, but with a wholly different perspective from the short story.
The young stars are particularly good, IMO, and the entire presentation is what Kenneth Branagh should be forced to sit through to see HOW a Christie adaptation should be done if one is not going to be literal in one's presentation of a Christie novel.
I recommend it to all.

I attended a Good Friday service at my church.
It was unexpectedly nerve-wrackingly grim and negative. I understood the pastor's point-of-view but was almost made ill by his incessant dwelling on negativity.
I prefer a bit of joy to arise out of sermons, but this one had none. It was headache-inducing.
I didn't like it at all.

The Good Friday Tenebrae service at my church is always grim. But I enjoy it because they always play one of my favorite hymns, "O, Sacred Head Now Wounded."

I think I need some sleep.

Good night, all.

I got a nice email from the artist about Annabelle & Thatch, He does black & white illustration, wants to work for The New Yorker, and is eager to work on A&T.
I am happy to hear this he seemed like a very nice guy

And he's certainly very talented

I'll definitely have to add that 5th question into my siddur, DR John G.
And given gefilte fish, it is particularly apt.
Sandy’s mother’s gefilte fish was awesome! It was my favorite part of Passover.

Did anyone here happen to record (George…maybe George…maybe George) the Patrick Swayze Superstar documentary last night on ABC?

Comcast's On Demand has a documentary from 2019 called "Patrick Swayze: Ghosts & Demons," but no "Superstar."

I think I accidentally passed over Passover. Oh, well. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some matzoh ball soup from Gelson's, some chopped liver and gefilte fish and some chicken - then I can feel like a real Jew.
