Well, you've read the notes, the notes were 87% and closer than ever, and now it is time for you to post until the 87% closer than ever cows come home.

I slept well, although I do wish I were still in bed. Stella did visit me for pets and cddles twice during the night. Thatch either lay beside me or, during Stella's visits, moved to the foot of the bed. Annabelle slept beside me on her pillow. She's been feeling poorly these days, and I am hoping it passes soon because I have xzilch money to take her to the vet.

I continue to hope the property sale goes through or that IU contract arrives quickly.

I had a peculiar dream last night. I dreamed that Rob Berman and I were working on a show in   a mountain resort area of Australia. Several of the cast were people I have worked with over the past forty years, but I remember noe of them now except for Noah Racey.

At some point in this madness, Rob Berman became Jim Martin, a conductor friend of mine and DR Ginny  who was waiting for his wife to arrive.

The latest update, which of course could change, if exposed to covid:

"When should I get tested for Covid?
Given the potential for a shorter incubation period, Schaffner of Vanderbilt advised that anyone who has been in contact with an infected person get tested about 72 hours after the exposure.

"If you've been exposed and now you're asking yourself, 'When should I get tested?' I think you would best wait at least three days to see if you've turned positive," he said."

Question for DR John G.:

The 50th anniversary tour of Jesus Christ Superstar is in San Antonio right now through Sunday. Are you by any chance ushering or attending or going to be around there at all? What I'm looking for is the page in the program listing the musicians. I can find cast etc. online, but nothing on the band or orchestra. If you or someone there could grab and post or email an image of just that page, 'twould be greatly appreciated. If not, no worries! Either way, thanks!

Welkl, Access-a-Ride came through with flying colors today! The first driver was 25 miutes late, but they warn us to allow for 30, and the ride was smooth and the driver very kind. Fifth Avenue is one-way downtown and the building I was going to was on the right side of the street, but because of the bus lane, he had to let me off on the left side.. The driver walked me across Fifth Avenue, where soem drivers would have let me go it alone, It was scary, but he was a saint.

The ride home was on time, and when he called to tell me he would be there in five minutes, I warned him about the bus lane and told him I'd meet him across the street. I made the crossing and her literally pulled up, He was a 31 year-old Moroccan wrking on a business degree,and so kind and helpful. I was very lucky today with the transport.

So, for the first time in three and a half years I saw an eye doctor. After checking my vision (20-70!), she put drops in my eyes, checked them out, photographed the back of my eyeballs and told me I have cataracts, no sign of glaucoma, and pretty good pressure. She decided that before I get new glasses, I have cataract surgery. I agreed to it.

At thew moment, my eyes are killing me and my vision is really blurry.

Last month I posted that the CDC had told people to ignore the expiration dates.  Most of the boxes were dated for July and August, but they were all good thru the end of the year.

That is probably why I was sure it wasn't truly expiring and looked it up.  Thank you.

Right, thanks. It's just the actual personnel I'm interested in.

One of the touring guitarists, based here, is going to play in my Carrie band. The JCSS tour takes a break that covers exactly those weeks, he loves filling in with playing local productions when he can, and he wants to play Carrie. I just wanted to have one or two of the programs listing him.

Weird Day.

My VA doctor in nearby Aiken wanted me to come in to check out my occastional spells of vertigo/dizziness that I had spoken with my physical therapist about yesterday.  I got an EKG and three blood pressure checks (prone, standing and sitting).  Turns out, I am experiencing hypotension (sudden blood pressure drop) and adjustments have been made to my bp meds.

We shall see.



Vibes the adjustment solves the problem.  As one who has low blood pressure I recommend getting up slowly, and staying hydrated.

I really enjoyed a lot of Bohemian Rhapsody, largely because the emphasis was on the music. When it stopped for the story, it was less successful. But the small group we had -- about 75 -- really enjoyed it. They sat through the credits.
