Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both fast and furious, and now it is time for you to post until the fast and furious cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SPIEL!
-
Last night, I went to my mom's after work for our usual weekly playing of Phase 10...and I won two of the three games we played! ;D
-
Then, I came home and started to go through my lines and I totally zonked out. ::)
-
And now, I'm about to officially go to bed...but first, I need to read today's notes!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I'm very sleepy, which surprises me since I slept rather well.
-
This weekend I hope t finish orchestrating the overture. Thanks to Access-a-Ride and other aggravating events of the past few days, I accomplished very little work on the score. My goal is to finish both "Overture and Interlude by 2:00pm n IOct. 17 before my cataract surgery..
-
Speaking of Access-a-Ride, I'm hoping today's trip goes well. We'll see.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
That is all, for the nonce.
-
I woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat and sneezing my head off
-
My Covid test was negative so I took some sambucol and used my zicam nose spray and went to work
-
Terrible sinus headache all day
-
When I came home I just made a quick dinner of hotdogs, took some alka seltzer cold medicine and went to bed
-
I slept through the night and this morning there has been no sneezing
-
I am hoping that’s a sign that yesterday was allergies and not a head cold or worse
-
Still have a sore throat though
-
I have much to accomplish this weekend so I cannot be sick
-
We go to see our girl on Friday
-
By automobile
-
So there is much to do
-
Fortunately I do have a three day weekend to accomplish it
-
I was listening to NPR in the way home from work yesterday and the host referred to Monday’s holiday as Indigenous Peoples’ Day
-
My calendar at work still called it Columbus Day
-
Well it’s Wordle time
-
I call my cat "Pebbles."
-
I just took a home Covid test.
-
Negative.
-
And on to

That took awhile
-
I have about 45 minutes to kill before AAR is supposed to show up.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Slept in some, but it was on and off. Stupid dreams didn’t help, nor did being kind of cold since we'd left the heat off for sleeping - which felt great through the first half of the night, but the house was damned chilly by morning.
Heat's on now, and the first cup of coffee is at my side.
-
AAR vibes for DR Elmore!
-
Oh, and isn't there a regimen of eye drops to go through before that surgery?
Maybe not. I know there's some you have to take for a while afterwards.
-
My eye exam is next Thursday, the 13th, so I'll be finding out what's what.
-
The show last night was an uphill battle, being the first performance following our first real break. That's often the case, of course, but this piece is challenging anyway. Fortunately, it actually went very well.
Tonight we have two people from the original 1988 Broadway cast attending - Scott Wise and MaryAnn Lamb - who I believe knew our director years ago - and they're going to stick around after the show. That should be fun.
Naturally, we will be gravely insulted if Betty Buckley and Linzi Hately don't tag along. But what can you do? I ask you.
-
One of our stage crew knows Christy Altomare who played Sue Snell in the 2012 off-Broadway production, and we got a nice video shout-out from her this week.
-
Staying healthy vibes for BK, vixmom, and everyone else!
This is NO time to be getting colds.
That goes for me as well. No sign of anything here, but I'm being damed careful.
-
Stay well vibes for MR BK and for DR VIXMOM.
-
Vibes for the ride for DR ELMORE!
-
Wow DR CHAS SMITH will be rubbing elbows with see-lebritees at the show tonight.....hopefully there will be photos.
-
I have a couple of streaming services.....Peacock and HBO MAX that I get because I am an Xfinity subscriber.....but I don't watch them much.
I can't seem to get the answer from anybody that - does my watching streaming reduce my monthly downloading limit?
-
I do watch now and then.....mostly The Peacemaker on HBO Max because.....well naked John Cena......
-
I watched The Parallax View again last night - I have always been haunted by Paula Prentiss' brief appearance with its shocking conclusion....
She certainly should have been nominated for BSA that year - 1974 - and I wouldn't have minded at all if she had won instead of Tatum O'Neal.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven-and-a-half hours of sleep - more than usual on a she of the Evil Eye day.
-
I am intrigued by the French professional basketball player whose name is Steeve Ho You Fat......his jersey is most entertaining.

-
There is a Hunter's Full Moon tonight for those planning activities.....expect the unexpected, as they say.
-
Good evening, all.
-
It’s been a full day.
-
Full of laziness.
-
We drove to Kos Town, the big town at the end of the island. Lots of people.
-
Still not crazy about being around people.
-
We went to a thermal spring. I reached a hand in and it was warm. Not too heavy of a sulphur smell.
-
But way too many people.
-
Sara, a friend visiting from Lebanon, and I did walk around the water outside the spring area.
-
It was cool but not cold.
-
Three.
-
We went to lunch then drove along the coast.
-
Carol’s not able to walk much — and certainly not on sand. But she loves looking at the water.
-
I am home from a lovely breakfastt with Rob Berman. I haven'tseen him since 2019, although we have spoken on the phone. What a dear friend he is!

Whoa! That long ago!
-
DR John I am glad you are enjoying Life Is So Good.
-
From John:
Very inspirational. Also, very insightful into race relations.
Yes and yes.
-
Cantaloupe jam sounds intriguing.
-
Cute self portrait John :)
-
My calendar at work still called it Columbus Day
My Google calendar doesn't mention either. My little calendar on the wall says Columbus, but since the print is very small I hadn't noticed. Thanks for letting me know Monday is a holiday.
-
Pebbles the cat is very pretty.
-
UPDATE: Due to [something or other], Scott and MaryAnn will NOT be able to attend tonight's performance.
They'll try for a later one.
Edit: She just texted our director. Someone tested positive.

I bet it is beautiful.
-

Understandable. It it is extremely crowded outside I will wear a mask.
-
Once I get the latest vaccination I expect I won't wear a mask outside, crowded or not.
-
STAY COLD & COVID FREE VIBES FOR EVERYONE!

The pharmacist today was the first person I have seen on the island wearing a mask. Outside the airport, that is.

Double ditto.

Considering he probably sees sick people ;)
Maybe it is required being in the medical profession.

Today.
Nice. It doesn't seem too warm there.

At the car wash waiting for them to finish

Really nice, John!

I miss full service car washes.

I missed the edit on this. Good vibes.

Last night at my mom's, we played three games of Phase 10...and I won two of them! :D
-
Today, the family is getting together at my mom's for our quasi-weekly family get-together early dinner and (more) Phase 10 playing.
-
After that, I'll see if my friend Shelly (and maybe her cousin who lives with her, if she's home) can help me run my lines.
-
Tomorrow, we have the cue-to-cue, so it'll be a rehearsal for the designers.
-
Then on Monday...HELL WEEK!! :o
-
a.k.a. tech week.
-
I am off to a late start today.
-
Now that most of the laundry has been done and the sheets changed, I can go for my morning exercise.
-
Just a walk this morning.
-
Back from a nice breakfast with Marshall - he now has everything he needs for the first eight episodes.
-
First Eight Episodes is the title of volume one of my memoirs.....
-
Great photo DR JOHN G!
-
Awww.....too bad DR CHAS SMITH....but maybe there will be some famous folks in the audience incognito.
-
DR ChasSmitg, now that I think about it, the last time I saw Rob Berman was March 2020, several weeks before everything shut down.
-
Yes DR GEORGE if that is something you are interested in, you might watch at least the first episode and see what it's about.
-
DR ChasSmith, I asked about eye drops, and I was told I would be given a prescription after the surgery.
-
We are currently watch THE SANDMAN which I suppose fits the TOD. At first I continued watching because Keith liked it, and it is a Neil Gaiman show. Now I am hooked and never know what to expect.
-
Good evening.
-
Today we saw the tour of SIX.
-
It was an interesting telling of the story. I liked it, but I don't need to see it again.
-
The show was a little over an hour long. Pretty expensive for such a short show.
-
I realize that Broadway shows are changing as the audience changes, but honestly, if Hamilton and SIX are what Broadway shows are going to be in the future, I'll probably let the season tickets go. They are getting very expensive.
-
I'm pretty sure I am going to hate the new Oklahoma.
-
I dislike screaming audience members very much.
-
I would hate screaming audience members. It sounds like a rock concert.
-
Yes DR GEORGE if that is something you are interested in, you might watch at least the first episode and see what it's about.
Thanks for the info, Jrand! ;)
-
'night
-
Oh, look! It's Page Five! :D
-
We are back from a very long day.
-
However, the party was delightful.
-
There were 17 in attendance, including several cute small great grandchildren running around.
-
There was a speech and several testimonials.
-
A table of photos and mementos.
-
There was a musical program with contributions from many in attendance, including some sing-a-longs with appropriate new lyrics to toast the birthday gal.
-
The menu included pizza, salad, and beer at the birthday gals' request.
-
Plus cake and ice cream, of course.
-
It may be the last time that all in attendance are gathered in one room at the same time.
-
Many photos and video recordings were gathered.
-
You only turn 90 once.
-
:)
-
Good night, friends.
-
ps - the moon on the drive home was quite spectacular this evening!
-
However, the party was delightful.
Nice!

On that fourth word, I chose one that had completely different letters because I just had no idea what the darn word was! That helped!

I miss full service car washes.
There are still a few around the Tacoma area. However,be sure to stop by your credit union for a personal loan before stopping.

I once dated a guy named Neil! He was also a Gaiman.

Duly noted, TCB.
-
Have I missed something? What has happened to Ron? Is he away on vacation? Is he ill?
-
Hey, John, how much longer will you be in paradise?

Today the Seattle Mairiners won the Wild Card division of the MLB playoffs. They came from behind by seven runs to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 10 to 9.
-
This was the first time they have made the playoffs since 2001 (21 years)!
-
One more to go.
