Had a pretty good sleep, which I must say was absolutely essential so I'm very thankful nothing screwed it up.

One semi-interesting dream, but it was fading faster than I could latch on to it upon waking up.

I guess last night's moon was kinder to many of us than the previous night's moon.

A number of things need to be caught up on today.

For instance, I'm now ridiculously late in getting my snow tires removed and replaced by the regular ones.  This should have been done a couple of weeks ago.  I hate having put unnecessary mileage on them.

(I wish I'd taken one last picture of our last remaining vestiges of snow that were still in evidence several days ago.)

Laundering and changing the bed must be done.  The Music Room must be straightened up and I need to get back to resolving an issue with RMS Keyboard Solutions.

I'm well aware that this is a pretty exciting string of posts.  I hope they don't distract everyone else from their own duties!

And I just realized that I had been thinking that the performances would be in June, but they're in July.  And rehearsals begin June 12.  I guess we'll really need to learn the lines before rehearsals start!
June 12 is when I leave for a digital banking conference. Last year, I was just switching to a bank focus and did not get to go. It was in New Orleans. This year, when I get to go, it's in -- drumroll, please -- Austin.

Posting from the car place...not for the first time, and it certainly won't be the last...where I wait to have the tires changed over.

Back home, and without having spent a dime.  That's two things in a row they've done for me as a "courtesy". 

I suppose they're trying to ensure I don't take my upcoming timing belt replacement business elsewhere...

Well more controversy.....I cast a mature looking High School Senior in the lead, and Niki is somewhat older.  Now the community is in an uproar because of it.....and we haven't even started rehearsals yet.

People are such idiots.  It's a PLAY....it's PRETEND.....mind your own GD BUSINESS.

However, I don't want THEM to have to be the targets of idiots.....so I may have to recast Frank.

I hate this show....I HATE IT.....I wish I had never said I would do it. 

And that's my day.....or rather my life for the next two months.

I just had to turn down an invite to an eight-course Titanic dinner based on original menus. Already had plans. Bummer.

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  I was up and about getting ready for a mid-morning coffee date with Becky when she texted me to cancel due to illness.  Went ahead and went to the grocery and have now finished a big batch of Lemon Lime Jello Pineapple Cottage Cheese Surprise to take to the Maundy Thursday dinner at the church where Fr. Richard will deliver the sermon tomorrow.  The portion for us here at home has pecans added in, but I hesitate to take anything with nuts to a potluck because so many people have allergies.

It's Titanic season!

Those dinners were all the rage in these here parts once the popularity of the James Cameron film was in full swing. 

We here at the house had the first one we know of, in April 1998.  A select group of friends was invited, all of whom were very much into coming in full period costume and casually acting the parts of key individuals on the ship. 

My oh my, we were adventurous back then.

I have to make it often for my dance teacher. Her favorite.

I am back from a nice lunch with my FB friend Jeffrey Eisner.  He's off to see Bette in Hello Dolly! and I am home to Guys & Dolls.

I haven't had anything like this in years.  It does sound rather tasty.

So sorry, DR JRand66.  Tell the moaners to get over it.  I once - possibly DR Ginny did, too - saw a misguided community theatre production of  Oklahoma! in which the Will Parker and Ado Annie were played by siblings.   I was very uncomfortable about it, but there was no uproar.
