I had some dreams this morning....several, in fact, over a short span of time.

I awoke at 4:59 a.m.   I was still very sleepy despite the fact that I had retired at 9 p.m.

I lay back down and began dreaming.  I kept looking at computer screens and my mind was actively searching for time hacks on each screen

Invariably, there would be one for 7:46 a.m. which I though must be an HHW.com post with east coast time.

Then there was a 5:46 a.m. time hack which I took to be Mountain Time.

I rolled onto my back and closed my eyes once again.  Again, it was 7:46 a.m. on some computer screen.

I got up and saw that it was 5:29 a.m. "my" time.  I stayed up and made a cup of coffee.

It never pays to "push" the snooze button for me.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe seven hours, maybe six.  And my throat is a bit sore, which I really don't need and which I hope goes away very soon.

Thursday morning greetings!  After yesterday morning's excitement, Richard and I are easing into today.  We sat at our breakfast table and watched the tree guys perform their version of Cirque du Soleil.  Some of it, I couldn't watch...

Back from a haircut - and I decided to get an omelet and a bagel, since I'll have no time to eat until after eight and I don't really WANT to eat after eight.

I have some City center time tomorrow.  Joshie may come by to look at this DVD player.  He think it may be the new cable and since I know nothing, I'm letting him handle it.

Saw the Drama Desk nominations. Very strange. Nothing for Tuck Everlasting. A few for Lazarus, but not for David Bowie's score. Shuffle Along, yes; but not for Audra or any of the cast.

In addition to the many TOD titles listed, I must add:

The Bad and the Beautiful
Two Weeks in Another Town (albeit it's about "location" filming in Rome)
Inside Daisy Clover
Saving Mr. Banks
Blazing Saddles (sort of)
Under the Rainbow

You guessed it, ladies and gentlemen:  another morning performance for the area schools.  The last one, thank the ye gods.

These kids got quite het up at the Marian and Charlie Cowell scene.  I can't see the stage.  Did he take her by force?  You'd think so from the audience response.

And in the footbridge scene, I do believe our man Hill must have ripped Marian's bodice right then and there, judging by the hooting and hollering.

I'm not quite ready to celebrate having the replacement actor yet - he has not been communicating despite my asking him to do so - so if he shows up on time today we should be fine - if not, he will rue the day, oh, yes, he will rue the day.

I HATE that in an actor or musician or just about anybody.

It's a huge red warning sign, however good the person is otherwise.
