Well, I need to get to bed, now.  I'm still feeling a bit under the weather, so sleep would be a good thing to do.

Good night, Tom.

Sleep is for sleepers.  I'm in the damn hall closet again pulling out more things to listen to - why not?

I suppose I should go to bed shortly.  I found some wonderful CDs to listen to.  I haven't listened to this stuff in a decade or even two decades - I found an incredible CD called Sax Drive with a sax player named John Harle - concertos by Stanley Myers and Richard Rodney Bennett - sublime.  And I finally found the Menotti piano concerto, which is fantastic.  I'm also appalled at how bad sounding some of this stuff is - either mastered so low it's a complete joke, or compressed so much there's no life, or just muffled beyond belief.  I immediately think oops the new speakers have gone bad - but then I listen to something beautifully recorded and mastered and that ends that.

TCb - I'm so sorry to hear that the director didn't let you know about the critic in advance!  Hopefully, he'll mention in what he writes that it was a rehearsal.

A possible question for today - Would anyone want to talk about the one or two things, however small or large, that we are most thankful for right at this very moment -

Or is that too boring a topic?

I slept rather well.  I had a long dream in which DR Ginny appeared, something about a production of Babes In Toyland.  Then I had a long dream with my friend Stephen Sondheim, who displaying his paintings(!) in a huge movie theatre.  One of the ladies who worked there asked me to introduce her, and I did.  Steve gave me a tour of his paintings and the one for Jonathan Tunick was really nice, and we had had gin and tonic.

I have physical therapy this morning in two hours, so I'll leave here in another 75 minutes or so.

Mine is REALLY boring --

Right now I'm just thankful for everything.  For everything that's good, and for everything that could be bad but isn't. 

(A bad sentence, and SO boring.)

Peace, health, wealth, and happiness on all of us.
