Well, you've read the notes, the notes were gluten free and also had paid gluten, and now it is time for you to post until the gluten free cows come home.

Bruce I hope you Ike your new meals. Good vibes staying strong and avoiding junk food, something I cannot seem to do.

95-100 degrees F today and very humid since storms are predicted today. What a god-awful day.

Still, our illustrious moron of a president says climate change is not a fact and all those foolish evangelical "Christians" praying with him yesterday (vomit!) think he's God, so what do I know?

I'm happy you enjoyed Falsettos, DR JohnG. I will never like this show. Around 1981, when March of the Falsettos was produced off-Broadway, Mr Rich, who was a friend of William Finn, placed Finn up there with Sondheim as a writer. I remember leaving the theatre thinking, what a con job, and I've felt that way after seeing any of these Marvin musicals since. There was the Promenade Theatre production, which added the wonderful "I'm Breaking down," and then along came AIDS and the third show became AIDS For Dummies and killed off the sweet Whizzer, when so many other characters in the piece deserved death. People have lost hundreds of friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, and we get a sentimental piece of poor to mediocre lyrics to the message of "something bad is happening."

Yep. It sure did, but if I want to see an honest AIDS piece, there are far better.

I have got to do laundry. I'm not sure how to accomplish this, though.

I gather from CBS News that the bodies of the missing young men in Bucks County, PA, have been located on the farm of the parents of the man accused of the crime. So sad.

It will get close to 90 here, with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon/evening today and tomorrow. This weather pattern is insane.

But today is a ME day and I'm driving out to one of the Barnes & Nobles to scarf up some Criterions.

We're hoping to see this West Side Story at the outdoor theater on Saturday night, and it's "supposed" to be clear then. But who knows what will happen. Who in the HELL knows.

I don't know any Nielsen but it seems like I've got some with Bernstein and the NY Phil. from the Columbia years that might be fun. Have to check.

Isn't this the 2nd week in a row that "Ask BK Day" has been moved to Thursday?

BK, are you trying to mess with our heads?

I agree, Elmore, that Finn is no Sondheim and some of the lyrics are fourth rate at best. But the show has its power and taking away the one likable adult character is one way of illustrating how indiscriminate AIDS can be.

BTW, if there was an influence on display in what I saw, Finn seems to have studied at the altar of Jimmy Webb. Especially in the power ballads.

Falsettos helped me through the day when the first close friend I knew died from AIDS. I wanted to go the funeral but was told I couldn't go. His parents refused to acknowledge that he died from AIDS but called it something else. His partner was my best friend and I was there on the night that they met. We went to Boston for the weekend. There was an instant attraction and he drove back with us that night to Montreal. When he was very ill I want to go to Boston and be there for them, but I was told no. When I got the phone call and was told that he passed I played on a loop the song "What Would I Do If I Had Not Met You". It helped me cope with a situation that I did not understand at the time what was happening because I was never told it was AIDS. (I was told many years later that it was AIDS) I remember the last time I saw him he gifted me with his Playbill collection. I would give them back if he would have survived.

We lived in Bucks County for 5 1/2 years.
