Dan M, that could have been fifty posts!

Keeping with today's theme, I should have said that you, DR FJL, are most PERSPICACIOUS!


I had to look that up!

Tonight, it's an orchestra rehearsal for a production of The Wizard of Oz in which I am the string section.  Covering, what might be the industries most unplayable synthesizer book - which is all the string parts on one page (basically copied out of the P/C).  I've made it easier by using two keyboards (stacked) and Mainstage (a keyboard programming program from Apple).  It's almost playable now.  Reading it (as it's manuscript) is a little more difficult.

Success vibes to you and the production!  I just missed "The Wizard of Oz" here.  It left town at the beginning of March.  Unfortunately, being on austerity I will also miss the upcoming production, at the end of the month, of "I Love Lucy: Live On Stage".  Oh, well, maybe someday soon I will have a [keeping with the theme of the day] WINDFALL!

Yes, and I think that happened while Adele was singing the title song and took a [keeping with today's theme] DOOZY of a step off of the podium.

Crazy weather in the DC area.  The temperature hit 70 today.  Tomorrow afternoon we may have thunderstorms, then 60 mph winds tomorrow night and a high of about 32 on Thursday!

Had a very good work session with Sandy and Lanny.  Prior to that, I was up at six feeling quite nauseous, didn't fall back asleep until eight-thirty and slept forty-five more minutes until the telephonic device rang - the publisher telling me book has been vetted and is fine and is now in production.  I have the same production person I normally have, so this part should really only take two or three days.

Very good news, BK!

Shortly I'll go see if I have any packages, then I have my four o'clock meeting, then I'm home and I'll watch some more House of Cards via Netflix - I do hope it remembered where I was.

If you're streaming through Netflix, it'll put you back right where you started...unless you skipped around or went back to the beginning before you quit out of it.

Back from a fun meeting with Maddy Claire Parks, who is our Daisy Mae - she's going to be absolutely terrific.  So, it's now down to finding a great Abner.  Meanwhile -

Happy to announce our rather spectacular cast for the next Kritzerland show - These April Foolish Things - a show that will be a little of everything and hopefully pretty wacky: Sandy Bainum, Zachary Ford, Maddy Claire Parks, Jenna Lea Rosen, Sami Staitman, Shannon Warner, Robert Yacko and our very special guests Andrea Marcovicci and Richard M. Sherman. More info coming soon, but I can tell you that we are premiering a brand new Richard M. Sherman song, written with my very own self - Guy Haines will be with us to sing it, too!

TOD:

Kerfuffle

From the gazetteer, which itself is a fun word:

Oconomowoc (city in Wisconsin)
Ishpeming & Ontonogan (cities in Michigan)
Erkenbrecker (street in Cincinnati)

There used to be a restaurant in Cincinnati that named their burgers for city place names.  I loved ordering the Erkenbreckerburger!

It felt like Spring today. Even though it was only high 30s a bunch of snow melted and it felt so warm. Unfortunately there is supposed to be a big snow storm tomorrow. :(

Antidisestablishmentarianism

My sister and I learned this word when we were kids, but I don't remember exactly how or why...probably from our dad. :)
