Picking up on DR Elmore's lovely FANTASTICKS story:  In early 1979, he directed a beautiful production of the show here in Middletown and gave me a role perfectly suited to my vocal ability - The Mute.  The entire run of the show was a sublime experience and after the last curtain call I wept in El Gallo's arms because I didn't want it to end.

Back from a strong and fun run-through, our last in the rehearsal space.  The first thing I did was fix the problem scene - we cut everything that wasn't working, and then I wrote about four new lines - really simple and very much in the character's vernacular and the writers' style - we ran it and it worked so perfectly that I almost couldn't believe it.  We put it in for the run-through and everyone did exactly what they should have always been doing - teared up.  Everything else, even if not perfect, tells the story clearly and concisely.  And I'm jiggy with that.

Stopped at Gelson's and got some chicken cutlets to sauté and some ingredients for Wacky Noodles.  I'm listening to more Stravinsky as those things are cooking, then I'll watch something.

Lovely stories from both Ginny and Elmore.

And believe me, they are bloody. My instructor is now not welcome back at the studio we danced under. So, we'll be going elsewhere. Enough drama to fill as the world turns. Might make for a fun libretto.

I harvested so much basil when I got home that I don't really know what to do with it all.

Surely there's more than pesto and basil oil, the latter of which I just made.

I hope it is not norovirus, Jane, because I'm afraid you will get sick, too.

I purchased bleach today as we read it is the only thing that kills the virus germs.  Interesting that the cruise ships use Purell with alcohol, yet I read it doesn't work.

Barbra's amusing 1974 comedy, "For Pete's Sake," is on TCM.  Not one of her greatest but it's entertaining.

I am still fighting a cold or dealing with allergies.  I slept fairly well last night and don't feel too tired.

DR Catherine mentioned that "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" is on TCM at  8 pm.  I've set my DVR in case I don't end up watching it tonight.

Feel better vibes for Keith and not-getting-sick vibes for DR Jane!

Thank you.  I am basically doing laundry all day.  I want it all done just in case I am sick tomorrow.

My computer keeps locking so I switched to my tablet.  I changed the batteries on my keyboard and it was fine for a couple of days.
