Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sweet as well as lowdown, and now it is time for you to post until the sweet and lowdown cows come home.

DR JohnG, yes I know Scarlett.  I love her.  She was absolutely wonderful in The New Yorkers.  I think DSR Ginny, Richard, and I saw her 0 before I'd ever met her - in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.  Is this concert with her, Debbie, and Hugh with a guest conductor?

I ordered the script for BORN YESTERDAY thinking it might be something for our 2021 season.....

It's very funny.....but the emphasis seems to be on Harry and the Billie/Paul story is really a secondary story.....and that's a lot of time to spend with a big jerk.....

So now I'm not so sure.

I really like THE HEIRESS, but I'm just not sure our audience would even attend.....the comments during PICNIC were most disheartening....including the one that hurt the most:  "Well....every show can't be SHREK!"

Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice is a superb documentary. They don’t shortchange the music for the talking heads, all of whom are excellent. If you like Linda’s voice, you’ll appreciate the movie, though the ending is sad.

Only oblique references to her La Boheme.

This has been a shitty day:
1. I stopped at the bank for cash; the ATM gave me a receipt and no money' I won't see it put back into my account until Tuesday.
2.  Because of the bank tsuris I missed the bus and had to wait for a later one so I could not stop at the pharmacy for my meds.
3.  When I left City Center for the pharmacy, my left leg was so painful, I copuld barely walk so I got a taxi, which cost me $16.00 I cannot afford to lose.
4.  When I got in around 15 minutes ago, I fed the cats and the three refuse to eat what I served them.

And, in today's mail, I got a notice from the musicians union that, thanks to mismanagement of our pension account, my pension my be reduced by $200+ beginning January 2021.  That Ohio property hasn't sold, and in another month I have to pull $600+ out of my butt for property taxes on a piece of land I never wanted.

Back from about six hours of rehearsal.

You know, lately I can never seem to type the word "rehearsal" right the first time; i.e., at normal typing speed. The "EARSA" pattern in one hand is ridiculous. I guess this is why alternate keyboard layouts were invented?

Anyway, I'm back from six hours of R E H E A R S A L and I'm ready for a Saturday evening cocktail, something decent to eat, and a ME evening of watching something or other.

Especially the cocktail.

Big Oy! to DR Laura, too, for sproinging her lower back.

I'll never forget the first time I did that, many years ago. I was alone in the house and I was in a near-panic, wondering if I'd damaged my spinal cord or something. I called a friend who had had many issues with her back and she talked me down. I soon learned the drill, which was to stay still, be careful, and let it heal on its own - however many days it takes.

I've started watching a production of The Tempest as staged in the round by a group of women prisoners. The woman who plays Propsero is amazing.

Sorry. Correction. They are not prisoners. They are women actors playing prisoners who are playing The Tempest.

That is so old I was curious how old it is.  I found the earliest date to be from 1996 when it was reported in a newspaper, and then on the internet in 2002.  And it is still circulating & finding new people to appreciate it :)

I've been busy doing laundry and cleaning and also a bit of tossing and rearranging. This place is so cluttered! Not enough storage and not enough space overall will do that. A bigger apartment would be AT LEAST another $1K/mo. It's no wonder California has a huge homeless problem. I will chip away at it. Even a small amount of progress is encouraging.

A bunch of snow shovels has suddenly appeared at each of the buildings.

I guess that means they provide the shovels, we provide the labor.

This has been a shitty day:
1. I stopped at the bank for cash; the ATM gave me a receipt and no money' I won't see it put back into my account until Tuesday.
2.  Because of the bank tsuris I missed the bus and had to wait for a later one so I could not stop at the pharmacy for my meds.
3.  When I left City Center for the pharmacy, my left leg was so painful, I copuld barely walk so I got a taxi, which cost me $16.00 I cannot afford to lose.
4.  When I got in around 15 minutes ago, I fed the cats and the three refuse to eat what I served them.

And, in today's mail, I got a notice from the musicians union that, thanks to mismanagement of our pension account, my pension my be reduced by $200+ beginning January 2021.  That Ohio property hasn't sold, and in another month I have to pull $600+ out of my butt for property taxes on a piece of land I never wanted.

~~~ALL Kinds of Vibes for Larry!!~~~

Does your electric scooter have chains on its tires?

Big Oy! to DR Laura, too, for sproinging her lower back.

I'll never forget the first time I did that, many years ago. I was alone in the house and I was in a near-panic, wondering if I'd damaged my spinal cord or something. I called a friend who had had many issues with her back and she talked me down. I soon learned the drill, which was to stay still, be careful, and let it heal on its own - however many days it takes.

One of my co-workers hurt her back (very long story) and was out for almost five months. :o She came back to work slowly and then her back got hurt again, and she was out again, and finally decided that she could retire.

I've started watching a production of The Tempest as staged in the round by a group of women prisoners. The woman who plays Propsero is amazing.

Sorry. Correction. They are not prisoners. They are women actors playing prisoners who are playing The Tempest.

PBS had an all-female version of Julius Caesar from the Donmar that was also set in a women's prison.  It was amazing.

Then I eventually went to my parents' house for dinner (spaghetti), but I had to leave right after eating so that I could make it to the Washington Center in time to work barback for a performance by Mavis Staples.

She's 80 years old and an incredible powerhouse of a singer!

She is not a gentle singer (vocally) like Judy Collins...not that Judy's any slouch.

Yikes!  Hopefully, that won't be a problem by the time he gets back.
