I am back from the pharmacy, and I've spken to my Mac Man John. I think everything should be okay, but it was a lot of tsuris I didn't need this morning.  As soon as I get some more work and can afford it, I'll buy a new Mac.  I was going to do that last year and then the foundation went into fiscal misery.

So, I'll spend the remainder of the day puttering about here. I've got some DVDs to watch, some ROBERTA corrections to make in my recording booklet libretto, and that's about it for my day.

Continued ROBERTA vibes for DR elmore!

Act Two was OKAY....we're getting there.  Then suddenly SIX people tell me they can't come to rehearsal Friday because that's when there is a graduation ceremony.

WHERE WAS THIS DATE ON THEIR G/D AUDITION SHEETS?

I was planning a Dress Rehearsal that night, but what's the point?  All of the good work a few people are doing is being undermined and negated by some idiots - most of whom I would NEVER have put in the show if I had had ANYONE else.....useless.

The show will never be what it could be.....NEVER.

I hope the names of all these reliable individuals will be kept for future reference.

Saturday morning greetings!  Richard and I have been out for a neighborhood walk and I'm about to take some odds 'n' ends over to the AAUW garage sale venue.  The sale is in 3 weeks and it's a great opportunity to get rid of stuff we no longer need.

I have an entire storage shed I could bring for your sale.

Richard and I just spent a couple of hours in the upstairs bedroom that has been our "catch-all" for 20+ years.  More stuff for the garage sale!

Break a leg vibes for BK and everyone involved with LIL' ABNER!

I visited my mother-in-law (well, EX mother-in-law) at the nursing home today.  She was wearing one diamond earring and one pearl earring, so I told her to keep the pearl earring on her downstage ear.

LOL!

Hello from Western New York!   

DR Kate and I are watching Il Volo, the Italian tenors who toured with Barbra in 2012.

I would much rather listen to them than watch them.

Tell DR Kate she is missed!

DR Jane I am not sure what age the vaccine is given in Canada now. But I do know that there is only one shot here and two are given in the US.

Interesting.  Is this your younger or older niece?  I hope the other one doesn't catch it. 

  Older. Well if the vaccine is not going to work on the younger one then it is better she gets it now.

(Recital at 2:30 p.m. and I'm not ready.)

Isn't that a common nightmare scenario?   


Glad all went well in the end.

Had a nice long visit with some of DH's relatives visiting from Richmond, VA.


We went to the opening day of a new exhibit at the History Center: TOYS from the 50s, 60s, & 70s.  It was great fun, and I saw quite a few familiar favorites.  There were many samples out on the floor to interact with, as well, plus videos of original vintage television commercials.

[singdaw]

I know that the last two performances of Abner will be just as gangbusters as the initial ones.

[Laura]

Good afternoon. A reasonably cool day here for Phoenix in late May. I spent the day outside, mostly.

[singdaw]

Tonight we are going to an amateur performance of Gypsy.

[Laura]

Happy Birthday, Jeanne!

[singdaw]

Hello, DR Laura!       

[singdaw]

I think I am going to drink a can of Vernor's and then lay down for a spell.

[singdaw]

Where is DR Laura's fainting couch?

I see the John Doyle production of ALLEGRO will be another of the one-trick pony's "play the instrument and seldom relate to each other" bits of hocum. Another must-miss show.

I can't understand why anyone would want to see ALLEGRO.  I realize it is Rodgers and Hammerstein, but just because something is made by Tiffany's, doesn't make it a gem.

Sounds wonderful. The exhibit and the visit.

As Mr. Hammerstein so aptly phrased it, the gentleman is a dope.

I'm off in a while to the San Antonio Country Club for dinner with some friends. It's supposed to be a casual, pub dinner. So, why was I told to wear business causal on a hot, sticky evening?

[Jane]

I visited my mother-in-law (well, EX mother-in-law) at the nursing home today.  She was wearing one diamond earring and one pearl earring, so I told her to keep the pearl earring on her downstage ear.

That's nice you still visit her.

Jane, good news on your car!

I'll be buying a used car. I don't drive enough to need a new model and even late-model used cars are astonishingly costly. I have no enthusiasm for it.

I hate car shopping and do not envy your having to look for a used one.  We don't normally get extended warranty's, however, if I were buying a used car from a dealer I would also buy a warranty.

True.  If she had the vaccine it too should be a mild case.

DITTO!!!

I am actually reading a hardcover, "The Agent: My 40-Year Career Making Deals and Changing the Game".  That also means I need something to read on my Nook at night.

After the lights go out I will begin "The Innocence of Father Brown" by  G.K. Chesterton who was a contemporary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  I believe it is short mysteries of the adventures of Father Brown.  My brother is watching the series on his PBS station.  Since we often get shows later, if we get them, than most PBS stations I figured I would read the first book of stories.  How many I will read I don't know.

[Jane]

I don't normally read biographies but I knew, and liked, Leigh in high school so there are aspects of this I find interesting.  If I followed football this would be a very enjoyable read.

I don't normally read short stories, however, as you know I like Sherlock Holmes so figured Father Brown is worth a shot.

[Jane]

Change of plans.  "Heart and Soul" by Maeve Binchy just came in from the library so I will also/just be reading this.
