Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little Milhaud music, and now it is time for you to post until the little cows come home.

Well, the thunder isn't continuous, but it's continuing...and getting louder, which means that it's getting closer.  There will be a big-ish noise, then stop for a bit, then some more noise, then stop for a bit again, then more noise.

I must re-watch SLEEPERS. I never went to see it, but we dutifully watched it on rented VHS back in the day because the prison setting was filmed right here in Newtown, Connecticut, at the ancient and intriguing “haunted” Fairfield Hills Hospital. I distinctly remember being disappointed in the film, but now I’m inspired enough to give it another try — and on something a little better than a VHS tape playing on a 19-inch screen.

Last night, to refresh myself before Season 3, I watched the second half of Season 2 of Sanditon. I'll begin the new season tonight. I like the way the writer fills out his tale with references to other Austen novels and a bit of Jane Eyre.

Weird dream. I was on a school team working on a banner for a competition about celebrating life st a time of death. The teacher forced our two-person team to use a dreary Japanese poem that was truly depressing and the color of everything was gray. We hated it.

We got permission to do our own banner, which was bright and colorful, and it was embraced by everyone. We tried to get the other banner removed but we were told we couldn’t.

In the end, our second banner won the people’s choice award, while the gray banner won the faculty award. When they announced the faculty award, it was ridiculed. The teacher tried to defend the decision, and somehow it came out that he was the only voter on the faculty side. That tarnished his reputation and he tried to make us look bad for doing a second banner that was so well liked. There were other banners up but I don’t remember anything about them.

The administration had to get involved because the teacher tried to punish us instead of giving us extra credit for winning. And then my bladder woke me up.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  Without going into too many gory details, I can tell you that one of Richard’s tests yesterday was problematic.  He had to remain on the clear liquid diet and go this morning to our local hospital for an outpatient test that produced no catastrophic findings.  That’s a relief, of course, but doesn’t explain much.  He was basically told to live with it and eat more fiber.

I called the Widow Green and asked her if she arranged a speaker for the gravesite portion of the events tomorrow.

She said: "I never even thought of that."

I told her whenever I have attended the gravesite after the service at the funeral home some yah-hoo always got up and started jaw-jacking.

So she asked me:  "Do you want to be the yah-hoo?"

And I said sure.....so I will work on a few words - and she agreed we might give others a chance to say a few words if they wish....

I hope the weather is good.

I honestly don't know what's up with Amazon these days. The average time for a review to post is now four to seven days and that is just ridiculous, IMO. They say it's because they're backed up, but why is now any different from six months ago when reviews would frequently hit within minutes or certainly within a day.

DR JOHN G the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream is a bit of a follow up to the one that you posted last week.

There is intrigue and drama at your work - probably not in the echelon just above yours - but the one above that.

Do not become involved in any drama - and do not attempt to correct anyone who is wrong even though you may be tempted to do so.

All will come out in the end with new faces replacing old and new rules that will benefit many.

One particular nemesis of yours is on the way out.

There we went to a piano lounge to see a band led by a piano player we’ve seen before, a talented singer named Mike Greko who, as far as I know, only sings covers, I’ve never seen him play anything original.

The first set was Bowie, Billy Joel, Beatles , Elton John covers , quite fun
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:11:12 PM
There were three sets, but we left after the first, since Kerry at that point had been wake for 24 hours, having woken at 4 am GMT to catch her plane
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:11:36 PM
A friend of ours decided to surprise us by turning up at the second set
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:11:52 PM
Unfortunately, we surprised him by not being there anymore
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:12:26 PM
But we caught a cab back to the hotel and went to sleep.
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:13:05 PM
The next morning we woke much refreshed and headed to the subway to start our day
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:13:57 PM
( we only took cabs the night before because Kerry was too wiped out to deal with walking and stairs after all her travel)
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:14:27 PM
We headed over to Flippers for some lovely soufflé pancakes
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC

Also I had brown sugar milk with boba
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC

While at breakfast I realized I had received some messages from the  Vixter the night before
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:21:12 PM
I seemed to have accidentally “clicked” on them without noticing, so it appeared I had read and not responded to her messages
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:23:57 PM
A little background now…

Since she was little she has always made us personalized hand drawn cards for special occasions. They will have caricatures of us and reference a memory or inside joke and they’re very special.
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:24:59 PM
Her message was that since she had a new job she has been really busy and hadn’t had time to make my card yet but she would call on Mothers’ Day
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:27:36 PM
The second message was to ask if I’d like to see a picture of the cake she made for the office potluck
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:28:35 PM
So as a joke I sent her a voice message, in my best  hurt, annoyed , angry mom voice
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:29:57 PM
“ sure , you don’t have time to make a card for your own mother, but you have time to bake a cake for your work buddies. THEY didn’t sound 16 hours in labor with you. FINE. I see where your priorities lie.”
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:31:01 PM
I immediately followed it with another voice message, laughing and saying I was joking, it was fine, I was looking forward to talking to her Sunday and I’d love to see the cake picture
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:31:40 PM
Only I left the second message as we were walking down the steps into the subway
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:31:47 PM
And it didn’t send
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC

Which I only realized when I received a very panicked  apology paragraph of text
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:33:46 PM
It was only 15 minutes before I was able to resend the “I was joking” message but ACK!

After traumatizing my daughter, Kerry and I headed over to Little Island, the artificially created island park just off the lower west side
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:42:18 PM
We had a nice walk through the gardens
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC

This is an old elevated train track that has been reimagined as a garden /park / walkway  its 1.45-mile-long and runs from Gansevoort St. to 34th St. on Manhattan's West Side.
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:56:27 PM
We walked up to 34th street 
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 08:57:12 PM
And stopped along the way to lounge and enjoy the views

And some of the art installations
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC

Then we walked down to street level at 34th Street and visited Macy’s

After a snack in Macy’s Starbucks we grabbed a subway back to the hotel
Title: Re: A LITTLE MILHAUD MUSIC
Post by: vixmom on May 16, 2023, 09:10:15 PM
There we freshened up, changed our outfits and headed back uptown to meet some friends for dinner at Virgil’s BBQ

Afterwards, at dessert at my beloved Lillian’s Victorian, we discussed our various interpretations of the play…as it does indeed leave itself open to interpretation.

Oh, I forgot to mention, Sally Field was sitting a few rows in front of us, she looks great!

She was very kindly chatting with people who came up to her after the show but one lady was  bending her ear for a very long time so we decided not to add to her inconvenience and let her alone

Not really.  I've had bad final run-throughs with bad opening nights, good run-throughs with good performances, and even good run-throughs and bad opening nights...and bad run-throughs with good performances.
