Well, you've read the notes, the notes are stuck in your head, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently singing Cow Cow Boogie, which is, coincidentally, stuck in their collective heads.

And the word of the day is: TANTIVY!

Topic of the Day: about two and a half years ago (I think), the song that I got stuck in my head was "I Was Here" from The Glorious Ones by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. I found a YouTube clip (since removed) of Patti LuPone singing it in concert. I'd never heard of the song before, but I just fell in love with it. Some of the versions on YouTube that I find now are very different than the way Patti sang it (not that there's anything wrong with that

). Several people sing it like a lovely ballad, very contemplative or like they have to "act" every moment the song (overact, really) but Patti sang it like an anthem, which to me really seems the way it should be performed.

I had that song stuck in my head for almost two weeks.

Last night John asked

"Has anybody read any preview reviews of Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch in "Night Music"?"

Performances begin this Tuesday, July 13th.

I don't have a ticket yet but I'm hoping it will appear on TKTS so I can see it at a discount. They do have $52 rear balcony tickets and that's probably how I will see the show.

I now have two songs in my head....'Let's Fall In Love' as sung by John Stevens and "Pick Yourself Up" by Mr Guy Haines, both of which are heard in "Blithe Spirit" - the first as the play opens....and the second in the intermission music.

....take a deep breath.....dust yourself off....pick yourself up....
and start....all.....over......agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

work continues to be crazy - I did take a much nneeded vacatio day on Wednesday and took the Vixter to the waterpark - it was agreat day = we got there before it opened and stayed right until closing time - despite the 99 degree temperatures the park was not overly crowded. There were several "travel camps' but all the kids were well behaved

the closest hing we had to an "incident" was while waiting in line behind 4 teens, 2 boys and 2 girls all about 15 -17 ; they were standing right behind a family with several under 10's . The teens were talking loudly - well nothing wrong with that we were at a waterpark havung fun, but they were also using F*** as punctuation and the mom withe littel ones was clearly uncomfortable and kept looking at the teens but didn't say anything.

Much to the Vixter's discomfort I have no such reservations - I tapped one of the boys on the shoulder indicated the children in front of him and said "Ccome on guys there are little kids here "

The 2 guys and one of the girls immediately said "Oh - sorry" but one of the girls said "I thought we were in America with freedom of speech" so I replied "You are, and with that freedom comes the responsibility to use some consideration for others" Her girlfriend punched her in the shoulder and they all modified their language

and a good time was had by all

tomorrow is my mom's 78th bd but she & my dad are going to a Christianing party tomorrow, so we are going out tonight to celebrate instead.

She has decided that she wants Chinese food so we are all driving out to a Chinese restaurant near my brother and SIL's home

it's always a gamble though - sometimes the response is FU and things escalate ... Long Island teens use that word like McDonalds uses salt
