Did a three-mile jog, went to Gelson's and got some melon balls and some diet hot dogs and buns for tomorrow. Throat is much less scratchy now, but chest feels a bit heavy and I'm clearing my throat too much - will try to stop doing that, but I just know if I can get ten to twelve hours of great sleep that will be the most helpful thing of all.

~~~Continued Recovery and Get Enough Sleep Vibes!!~~~

TOD: Probably 1978--my first year in the Washington area. I went to the Mall for the fireworks. I did that a few times, but not for many years.

Good morning, all.

Pulled a late one watching GETTYSBURG. Had only intended to "get into it" a little, but... you know how it is.

Coffee!

Good morning, all! I stayed up too late finishing Christopher Gillett's biography/journal of his career as an opera singer, Who's My Bottom?, which I found very honest, moving, and outrageously funny. The sections on performing in Netherlands Opera's productions of a new opera by Tan Dun (TEA) and a Peter Greenaway "western" opera in which he was one of only three in the cast who wasn't nude - although he did have to sodomize the baritone and rape the leading lady inside a horse's carcass - are both outrageously funny and pathetic about the lunacy currently running operatic staging. I recommend this book highly. If anyone's interested in knwing more about Gillett, here's his website:
http://www.christophergillett.co.uk/

Today, I've got a bit of ROBERTA work, and I may go to a movie, if there's anything I want to see, or I may just drag out the DVD of 1776 and watch that.

DR JohnG, I love the BBC "Shakespeare Retold" and I'm quite fond of that series "Much Ado About Nothing." As I recall, that version is set in a tv station, the dialogue is modernized and the plot adjusted to a contemporary point of view. It's not the play. I may drag that series out today as well.

So, it's time for more coffee!

My first year in New York, July 4, 1979, I went to the fireworks with the friends who were letting me sleep on their sofa. My memory is that we were in Riverside Park around 80th Street. People were throwing firecrackers among the crowd, it was very hot, it was packed, it was insane. I haven't given a good damn for seeing a fireworks display ever again.

My favorite 4ths were the ones in L.A. enjoyed from above (in a Cessna 172), and a more normal but magical fireworks display in Schaumburg IL enjoyed with a few friends from the area -- magical because I was by then loving my return to the Midwest, and because of the pure perfection of the weather, the locale, the picnic, all that stuff. It made me think of The Music Man then (though it had no direct resemblance whatever), and the memory of it still brings back those feelings of fleeting summertime perfection.

I saw a beautiful fireworks display in Greencastle in 1984.....and I am hoping our display in Mooresville is good tonight. We are beginning rehearsals at 6 p.m., so i should be home to see most of the fireworks. They are shot from the town park which is about a mile from my house. I can see the bursts over the trees!!!

Continued vibes for MR BK....and good news about the rehearsal.

Yes, it has been MUCH TOO LONG since we heard from DR DtM.

Independence Day greetings! Yesterday my DN Laura drove her mom (my sister), Richard, and me to Springfield to visit the Lincoln historic sites. We toured the home he and Mary lived in before Washington, then we went to the museum, which is kind of like Lincoln Disneyland. Our final stop was the Lincoln tomb in Oak Ridge Cemetery. On the way home we called my brother-in-law with instructions for baking the lasagna I had assembled at home and brought here frozen. We stopped at Olive Garden for salad and breadsticks. Laura had a nice bottle of red wine and it was a lovely dinner with a lot of laughs.

For a while he was posting on Facebook, but i haven't noticed him there lately. I knew he was having problems about the work computer and other sites, but I have no idea these days where he is or what he's up to. I do miss him.
