Today at 2 p.m. we have a full board meeting at the theatre - with masks and social distancing - to discuss the 2021 season lineup - in case such a thing is possible.

The President has also asked for an Executive Committee meeting afterwards - but I do not know the reason for that.  Time Will Tell.

We did a couple of the symphonies in school, and - I hate to say it, but I must, I must - those were always the most boring times for me. It had nothing to do with my not being involved in the playing of them. I was there to study whatever we were doing, and I just never thrilled to those symphonies. Most things, through study or even just casual familiarization, grew on me then, and that is still the case. These never did.

I must say that through all of this day, I have been horribly conflicted as to the pronunciation of the day’s topic; i.e., whether I should hear demise as rhyming with “eyes” or, as Quint in Jaws would have it, with “ease”.

My day has been wracked with indecisiveness.

After a few hands, my mom insisted on feeding us, but she didn't really have anything, so she asked if I'd go to WinCo (it's literally up the street, less than half a mile from their house) and get some lasagna, garlic bread and a bag o' salad.  I said sure.

It wasn't until I got back that we saw that the frozen lasagna would take two hours to bake, so we all said that we didn't need to have the lasagna then.  Mom will save it for another time.

Also by the time I got back from the store, my dad was asleep in his library, so we also decided to bag the game.  My mom was ahead, so she essentially won the game by default. ;)

I then came home and got a little something to eat, texted with a friend who lives out of state, and now I'm ketchuping on all of today's posts. :)

The grounds were largely waterlogged, and the stream was high. But the paths were dry, and the walk was pleasant and largely shaded.

Lovely.  Your mother is doing well?  She must be happy to have you home for a nice long visit.  Do you have a quit space to work and have conference calls?

Yes. I have a separate work room.

Great.

Wilford Brimley passed away.  He was 85 years old.

I didn’t know he was a singer. Will have to investigate.

I also hadn't known that.

Life is like that. It may be a bowl of cherries, but the bowl is occasionally empty.

The guy who's driving him to church called to confirm that he would pick up my dad at 9:00.  He showed up at about 9:00 and off they went. 

I am surprised he is going to church.  Are precautions being taken?

I can only assume.  My dad did have a mask.

Good to the mask, hopefully yes to the rest.

George & TCB I just read a story about American sneaking in over the border to Canada on boats and yachts.  Seems they are boating in from Washington  :-[

Idiots. >:(

Others are driving over the border saying they are driving to Alaska and popping up in places such as Banff.

Listening to a very interesting set of the Schumann symphonies.  I think ChasSmith said he can't abide these, but these are unique for reasons I'll explain in the notes.  It's actually like hearing a revisal of them and yet it's not Mahler orchestrating, it's just a completely different approach.
