Well, you've read the notes, the notes slaved over a hot piano, and now it is time for you to post until the slaving cows come home.

DR Elmore:  Yesterday on Facebook someone bumped a thread that was a couple of years old about musical copyists for shows. I never would have known it was there, and I was entranced, reading every word and poring over every example. If no one has yet put up a "museum" of sorts for this, that still needs to be done.

Unfortunately DR Jennifer this happens far too often.  Last year our friend had her car totaled when a speeding car ran a light.  She had plenty of witnesses stop to help, and watch as the driver ran away on foot.   A few minutes later he returned and our friend thought he was getting his insurance info from the car.  Nope, just grabbing his drugs before running away again.

Is anyone familiar with Rowan University's medical school in New Jersey? 

That's where my nephew goes (the son of my brother and his wife Lady Macbeth, but my nephew is a really good person), and I'm having no luck finding out its rankings among medical schools. 

(I found the Rowan college's rankings, which look pretty good among New Jersey schools, but not the medical school.)

We rescued an older kitten that spent so much time staring at herself in the mirror we were tempted to name her Narcissus.  Aside from the fact our cat was a female, that was a mouthful to say every time we wanted to call her.  Good thing too since she outgrew the desire to constantly look  at herself.

All of May, the first half of June, and all of July we have nothing planned.  The second half of June is crazy trying to accommodate dates to see people and attend events.

On the upside Fred, this new date offers a possibility of our getting there where your original date of June 22nd was the night before a Bar Mitzvah in Michigan.

Am I correct you do not plan to return at a later date, maybe for the last performances?

I think today I saw my first bit of sibling rivalry.  Annabelle was sleeping in her new favorite place, my computer chair, when Thatch climbed onto my bed where I was napping, lay down on my chest, and fell asleep.  As soon as he was comfortable, Annabelle climbed on the bed, walked all over him until he retreated to the cat tree, then curled up on my lap and stayed there for the next hour.

Of course Welcome to My World - this is what happens when you're writing notes and sneezing every three seconds - the brain stops functioning.

All I can say is, welcome to my world.

Do you use either of those sprays?

I had trouble with Rhinocort but was ok with Flonase.  I used it on and off for years in Ashland.  When I used it I found my allergies were not as bad.  My allergies seemed to improve even without using it anymore, worse than on it but not bad enough I feel the need for the spray.

Keith goes on and off the Rhinocort as it does seem to help him.

I am back from the Heights.

It was a pretty good college production, but I saw one at a high school that had a leg up on this one in some ways. The pro band was great.

But it was all too loud. I find myself complaining about this more and more. Every note, every moment, is turned up to eleven with no contrast, no nuance, no relief.

The Les Miz last month was even worse. But...it would be.  :)

The concert was wonderful. Of course, the Beethoven was stirring but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the guest cellist on Elgar’s Cello Concerto. His encore was a sternly beautiful Bach Sarabande.

The house was full. The patrons behaved. That made me happy.

It’s the same at the dance studio. Way too loud.

It looks like I'll be in Redmond WA June 12-14.  That way, I'll be able to see the Thurs. June 14th pay-as-you-can preview (I think that's what they call it) of Last Starfighter, and get to hang out for the last two nights of tech, which should be exciting.

All of May, the first half of June, and all of July we have nothing planned.  The second half of June is crazy trying to accommodate dates to see people and attend events.

On the upside Fred, this new date offers a possibility of our getting there where your original date of June 22nd was the night before a Bar Mitzvah in Michigan.

Am I correct you do not plan to return at a later date, maybe for the last performances?






Jane, I'm just planning the one trip. 

How far away are you from Redmond?  also George?  TCB?  Are you near Redmond?

Finished with my viewing.  I could stand not one minute more of Alice - really bad - so switched to a rather intense and unpleasant film but an awfully good one.

Has anyone else besides DR George seen THOR: RAGNAROK?  We finally watched it tonight and it was just what we needed.  The last few nights our viewing was not very cheerful and the book I was reading was sad.  Thor was fun and entertaining. 😊

It did not rain today so we took a long walk just shy of 2 hours.  Later it was even nicer out as the wind had died down so we took a short walk.  About 10 minutes after we returned home it began to pour. We lucked out on our timing.  The rain is expected through Wednesday.

Ushering tonight for Beethoven’s 9th. I understand it’s sold out. Nice.

About an hour ago, I got back from ushering for the Masterworks Choral Ensemble's concert of music written by women.  The group has both men and women singers, but they featured the women in several pieces.

There were a little over 300 people in the audience, and they loved every minute.  A very enjoyable evening.

I think I'm about an hour south of Renton.  Tom is half way in between.

Fortunately, there were enough people helping that it went up pretty quickly and I was able to leave after a half hour or so.

Jane, I had the Impossible Burger (https://www.impossiblefoods.com/burger/) ["Zero meat, 100% all-natural plant-based Burger, and you won’t know the difference (thanks, science!)"] again, and it was still really good.  Margo also had one and really liked it, too!
