Well, you've read the notes, the notes had all the trimmings, and now it is time for you to post until the trim cows come home.

230 posts - pretty damn good. People come, people go, like Grand Hotel, but we sure have wonderful people remain and occasionally we get us a posting frenzy going on.

Be well George.

I have to figure out when we can get up to the Tacoma area to see a couple of plays, especially if Jimmy Stuart and cute Zuzu are selling all the tickets to one of the shows.

Yesterday's T.O.D.

I am going to my friends, Sharry and Micheal, house for Thanksgiving. And, since three of us have shows opening on Friday, we are excused from having to bring anything towards the meal. I think there will be ten for dinner.

I slept well for the first time is ages. I do believe the therapy is working. I have my usual pains and mobility limitations, but I think the stretching and exercises have loosened some of the kinks affecting the nerves in my leg. I think this can only improve.

I need to do laundry. The question is, today or tomorrow? I have to tidy the place this morning. I have a meeting with the Moonshine & Mistletoe music director about score changes, and I have to do some rewriting of a n ensemble section that's too busy for the number of singers involved.

I also want to peel and cook a bunch of sweet potatoes today.

I had a strange dream that I was asked to perform in a benefit for theatre students. Elaine Stritch, Ruthie Henshaw, and Annalene Beechey were on the bill as well as others. I had three songs - it was my dream, after all! - about aging and changing. One was about a leaf, one about changing rooms, and the last about changing houses, and I could not remember the lyrics. I remember saying something like, Stritch hasn't forgotten a lyric in 60 years and I can't remember any of these songs. At the last minute, I decided to perform them with the music. As we all walked onstage, I woke up.

TOD:

Very few movies surprise me any longer, but I did see a thriller about 2 years ago that kept me guessing from start to finish.

For the life of me, I can't recall the title.

I guess age is catching up to me. Yesterday, I was in a doctor's office, filling out the intake form and I couldn't think of the word "cataract". It took me 10 minutes to come up with the word, and I'd just had that surgery 6-7 weeks ago.

It's Tuesday, and I need to be at work an hour early for an important meeting.. My bogy doesn't feel like going along with this.

The Munch Daphnis et Chloe is usually considered "the" classic of all Daphnis interpretations and recordings.

My dream, involving some musical and the dissemination and transposition and highlighting of certain parts thereof, is completely indescribable.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #20 on:** November 22, 2016, 06:08:29 AM »

Got a very busy day ahead of me.

Some housecleaning, some advance T-Day prep (such as making the cranberry sauce, cooking the sage sausage for the stuffing), some this, some that.

I hope the this or that will include some work on music, as I need to exorcise the indescribable dream.

Gotta love a memoir with a sentence that begins, "When Papaw burst into flames ..."

I haven't seen or read a "thriller" in ages. As far as books go, my favorite current mystery writer is Carl Hiaasen because he's an outrageous writer with a wicked sense of humor.

No one beats Dashiell Hammett.

Tuesday morning greetings! I attended an excruciating AAUW board meeting last night, drank wine when I got home, and crashed early. Today = grocery shopping.

Thank you to DRs Jeanne and TCB for the nice comments last night about the photo I posted yesterday.

Starting Hillbilly Elegy this morning.

I asked Richard's brother Sunday if he'd read the book. When I mentioned the author's last name and the street where he'd lived, David said, "I used to race go-karts with Jimmy Vance who lived on McKinley Street." That's the Uncle Jimmy you'll read about in the book.

Didn't Richard live on McKinley Street when we were in junior high school?
