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

I actually really enjoyed the nonlinear storytelling on Mad Men tonight...
found Roger tripping on acid extremely amusing!

Six goldfish have drawn the short straw and are all ready (or as ready as a fish can be when swimming in a plastic container in a car) for the drive to my sister's pond. I will report on how they get on - or even survive the 200 mile journey.

It rained or drizzled most of yesterday and it's cooler.

It's supposed to rain and drizzle today also.

Of course on t he day I'm having dinner with a friend from London and I have to walk to the restaurant it turns out to be unpleasant weather. Ugh.

TOD:

Anna Karenina. I'd like to talk with Tolstoy about so many things in the book, not the least of which were ideas about birth control and women's intelligence.

And I'd love to talk with Anthony Trollope about He Knew He Was Right and that sort of fatal obsession that destroys the main character.

It would be great to meet with J.B. Priestley and discuss literature. But he was not a fan of his own, "The Good Companions," or so he makes it seem in some of his comments, and  yet it is my favorite of his novels.

Off to work early. Doing a guest lecture at the Culinary Institute of America this morning, then back to work before heading off to the River Parade tonight for Fiesta. Tomorrow is another long day with a doctor's visit and the start of A Night in Old San Antonio (or NIOSA). So, some stamina vibes would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good morning, all! The ghost struck at 3:30 this morning and turned on my computer, freaking me out and ;eaving me awake for some time. Beyond that I slept poorly, partly - I suppose - from sleeping too long the night before. I had one rather sad dream about friends aging and dying  - my only memory is being on the street with a lady I knew and her collapsing like a marionette whose strings are cut. I've been feeling rather melancholy about it since i got out of bed.

Last night I was up longer than I had intended, writing a synopsis of DEAREST ENEMY and dealing with emails. The Herbert songs are now arriving and I'm getting responses from the singers and acknowledged.
Today I head dwn to Toyland to assemble the full scores and get them to Kinko's for binding. I need to book appointments, one for tomorrow wth my barber and another with Social Security to put it into effect.

BK, I'm really happy the event went so well.  I look forward to reports from the usual suspects.

On the DEAREST ENEMY recording front, we have most of our cast now except for our juvenile.  I wanted my friend Hal Cazalet, who was avalable severalweeks ago, but his agent is really dragging his feet about getting back to us.

If you don't know this wonderful album, it's quite a lot of fun.

THIS made me LOL this morning when I opened the paper.  Lime was a running family joke for years, since we passed it every time we drove between SLC and Seattle.  We decided we wanted to buy it and came up with many names for businesses there:

Electric Company:  Limelight
Hospital:  Lime Aid
(and my personal favorite, which I came up with):
Used Car Company:  Lemon Lime

We watched a trio of good, entertaining old movies from my Library this past weekend:

VIOLENT SATURDAY
AVALON
FEMME FATALE


Certainly they were a lot better than what's currently available at Blockbuster.

Monday morning greetings!  This is kind of a short week for me, because Mom and I are leaving Thursday morning for Michigan to help my sister and her husband celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary (Saturday).  Mom has made arrangements to visit with a former neighbor on Friday and some long-time family friends on Monday.
