I have decided (I think) to move my retirement date up one month to the end of July vice the end of August.  That will give me one full month to take care of all that needs taking care of without work getting in my way.

Who knows, maybe it will be the best thing to ever happen to me!

I have nothing of interest to report.  Except I made a quick video "trailer" as an example for my 4th graders who are learning how to use iMovie.   Check it out HERE

On Wednesday I got a ticket for Hello,Dolly, after waiting in the cancellation late for about an hour and 45 minutes.  I enjoyed it very much.  I couldn't help thinking of the movie, though.  Bette Midler was terriific, very funny, but she sounded a little hoarse to me.  I thiought David Hyde Pierce did a great job as Horace.  I wish Gavin Creel had more to sing.  He has a beautiful voice.

Moreso than Carol Channing?   :)

Thanks.   I think what I need is physical activity beyond getting out of bed, dressing, coming to work, going home and then sitting in front of the TV before going back to bed.

So last night was the concert ON Long Island.  It was pretty easy getting there. We took the Long Island Railroad to Westbury and then got a cab to the Nassau Coliseum.

Fred, I hoped there was going to be an answer to why I felt so sluggish.  Perhaps a stint was needed, or an ablation.  Or a change in meds.  Or something "easy" to make me feel better.   So...YES, I'm relieved there is no heart disease beyond my congestive heart failure/atrial fibrillation which has been under control.

On top of that, the results of the nuclear stress test were a significant improvement over the one I had in hospital in January of last year.  They said it's because I've been properly medicated since that time.  And I do concern myself with taking my meds on schedule.

I keep thinking it's the meds that make me feel so tired and sluggish.  My reasoning:  Every now and again, I forget (due to a rush or something) to take my morning meds.   Around mid-morning, I find myself suddenly energetic and handling multiple tasks with ease.  My thinking is clearer.

Then I remember that I forgot my meds.  When I take them, I return to what passes as "normal" for me.  I need something to change.  It's apparently in my wheelhouse to find that change.

Since there was no answer to the "why" of how I was feeling, it was bit of a letdown.

I was able to get a front row seat.  Miss S was in great voice.  It was wonderful sharing the experience with so many friends I've met over the years.

Not sure what I'll see tonight.  I entered the digital lotteries for Dear Evan Hanson and Anastacia.  I'm not holding out much hope that I'll win either on, but as "they"say, someone  has to win,"

You really can't compare the two.  I thought Bette has not singing well when i heard her the day before the official opening  I think some of the keys are way too low for her.  I'm not saying they used the Carol Channing keys, but whatever keys they put her songs in, some of them are too low.  Just sayin'.....

I admire and envy your determination to experience all these pleasures.  My best wishes to you for getting in to one of those shows.

Well, she does have a lot of songs and dialogue.  And she's no spring chicken, either.  And it's been a while since her last tour, so she may be overdoing it a bit.

Another thing that really irritated me in Feud:  The constant use of the phrase "on set."  No one EVER said that back then.  That is strictly a phrase that began in the last twenty years.  We said "on location" yes, but it was always "I have to be on the set at six" or whatever, always on THE set, or at the studio but never ON SET.  It's so easy to get those kinds of details right except with lazy TV writers who depend on their staffs to do research on the Internet, not that they would research ON SET because of course the kiddies who DO the research think everything has always been the way they know it.  And every time Joan or Bette would have to give a history lesson right out of what someone read in some book or on the imdb about some film or person - it was laughable.  The Aldrich stuff was laughable.  The Jack Warner stuff was worse than laughable.  And that final "dream" scene with Hedda, Jack and the gals was the nadir of all eight episodes.  And I don't know what movie Jackie Hoffman was in, but all I kept thinking of was either Ruth Buzzi or Lotte Lenya.

Friday morning greetings!  We've been to Mason, OH, in the pouring rain for my final follow-up appointments with the doctor who did my cataract surgery.  He said I get an A+ and he doesn't need to see me until January for a regular exam.
