I slept rather well. Stella showed up a little past midnight for some playtime, but she didn't stay long. By 2:30 it was quite chilly in the apartment and Annabelle cuddled up with me. Thatch stopped by sometime around 5:30. Since I've been dressed and moving about the apartment, Annabelle's been quite clingy, either sitting on the computer table next to me or wanting to be held.

Last night I watched a documentary on Amazon Prime, The Many Lovers of Jane Austen, which covered the growth of Austen fans since her death, focusing on a Texas conference of the American Jane Austen Society, with everyone dressed in Regency costumes. Several historians and literary critics were interviewed as well. I really enjoyed it. The beginnings of interest in Austen began in the 1840s, following the growth of rail service in England and the WH Smith train station bookstores selling inexpensive copies of her novels after the expiration of copyright.

Need to get into a holiday mood? I recommend George Balanchine's NYC Ballet production of The Nutcracker, the greatest and best of all possible Nutcrackers. Balanchine's staging of the Christmas party and the children is so wonderful. Jerome Robbins' battle between the mice and the toys - staged around the time he directed Mary Martin in Peter Pan - contains the same humor and whimsy, and the two show pieces, the Snowflakes and the Waltz of the Flowers, are Balanchine at his best.

Extra bonus? Tiler Peck is the leading Marzipan shepherdess!

The concerts are over, and I couldn't be happier.

Well, yes I could, actually. It would sure be a lot nicer if I didn't have COVID.

But I didn't get it at the high school this time. I've apparently been carrying it with me since the weekend when we closed Smorgasbord! All four in the cast, plus one spouse, the director, the bass player, and now me, are the fallen soldiers so far.

Head cold variety again, but this time I said the HELL with it and started taking the Paxlovid I've had sitting here since May. The others are taking it and are swearing by it.

Yesterday was a very bad day. I seldom get angry but I was there yesterday. Stupid Cedars! Their scheduling software is truly hostile. There is no need for this! And the 20-something young man I spoke to on the phone was typically rude. Then I called UnitedHealthCare. Their new crop of customer service people are inexperienced. They're trying, but they just don't have sufficient training. After 4 phone calls and 1.5 hours of my time over the past couple of weeks I finally have the answer to my (simple) question. Then the heater wouldn't come on.

If anyone has any suggestions for dealing with or letting go of this sort of crap please pass it on. I try to be patient, particularly if someone is trying, but the level of competence just keeps sinking lower.

Other tv lawyers I liked were Judd for the Defense - Carl Betz and The Defenders with Robert Reed and E.G. Marshall.

It really makes me crazy when tv or movie lawyers get up on cross examination and start asking questions that have nothing to do with the direct examination.....
