I arose a little earlier than I planned, but I am off to work after a two month break.

The knee is still not okay, but I maxed out my medical leave and would be losing my health coverage. So I am back.

Well, yesterday's rehearsal was pretty good...the show is getting better, so that's good. We had the first part of rehearsal at 11:00 am, and went until 4:00 pm. We were scheduled to stop at 3:00, but with the extra time, we got through all the cues in the whole show. We broke and then reconvened at 7:00 pm. The rehearsal proper ended at about 12:15, but I didn't leave until about 1:00 am, because I wanted to go through all the sound, picture and video cues to make sure that they all worked (I was adjusting more things during the entire rehearsal, again) and that what was written in my script was what was supposed to be happening, and vice versa. Anyway, it seems to be all correct. Whew! I came home and watched a little TV and now I'm ready to go to bed.

Expecting a busy day at work after the long weekend. There were some emails in my work in-box from people elsewhere who worked on Friday, so those will need to be taken care of.

I am quite fond of holiday music, so I will be attending an inordinate number of concerts during the month of December, either as listener or performer, as well as listening to the radio and streams and CDs.

Mary, Merry, Marry (that's three)!

Good morning, all! I did accomplish a lot yesterday, and I am now only one day behind in finishing act one of Paint Your Wagon. I aim to finish it tomorrow morning before I meet Joshie at the Lincoln Center NYPL to lok at Ted Royal's original full scores. I am working from copies used, I believe, to prepare the published vocal score. This morning I have physical therapy, and then I will continue the perusal.

Last night was a night of celebrity dreams. It's all vague now, but I believe that I dreamed I was orchestrating a BK album of material for the men he uses in his Kritzerland shows, but all I remember now is that Jason Graae was one of the singers and I was trying to assemble an invoice and copy the band parts.

After that, I was awake for what seemed an eternity, and I dreamed I was in this huge skyscraper or a coffee shop, book store, boutique - it's too vague now -and I ran into Maxwell Caulfield, whom I knew back in my Drama Book Shop days, and we were having a nice chat. And that's all I remember.

No specific holiday plans at this point.

BearManor Media is now taking pre-orders for MURDER IN BABYLON, my novel (based on fact) about the William Desmond Taylor case. The paperback will be shipping later this month.

Good morning, all.

Oh my, it is indeed Monday. And December. That's a lot to take in all at once.

Coffee. Oh yes. Coffee.

And the last half of the last blueberry muffin.

TOD: Mostly I try to ignore Christmas until about a week before. I think the whole things goes on way too long.

Monday morning greetings! Back to my non-holiday life today. I let several things slide last week during the Thanksgiving extravaganza and today I'll get those plates spinning again.

I try to low-key the seasonal things these days, too, and as far as Christmas goes, I have bowed almost completely out of the whoop-de-doo and the gift exchanging thing. So let's see...

I have one LI'L musical gig, the high school that hires me and a couple of others to beef up their pit for their holiday concerts. That's one long rehearsal and three performances. My birthday has always seemed part of the holiday season, so there's that. There will of course be a couple of parties, but I don't yet know who's throwing them or when. I guess that's about it.

I, too, try to ignore Christmas until Thanksgiving is over. I'm ready to get ready now, but our plans are very indefinite. Rob and Mary Linda will probably go to Michigan, which will leave Richard and me on our own. The church in Lima has decided to do what we'd do on Christmas Eve on the Sunday before because so many of our very few people will be out of town by Dec. 24 (no altar guild, no music).
