DR ChasSmith, that was a wonderful story about I DO! I DO!

It was, indeed. Thanks for sharing it.

Last night's symphony concert was a mixed bag. Olga Kern played Rachmaninov's Piano Concert No. 2 and followed up with a short Mendelssohn piece as an encore, both wonderful. And Debussy's Afternoon of a Faun was nice. But Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique didn't seem to fit the rest of the program.

Back in college, I loved the Berlioz. Now, it just seems silly fun. Certainly nothing much after the Rachmaninov.

But the crowd loved it. And they had a fairly full house.

I have a crock pot with faux feijoada in it for an office potluck tomorrow. The smell is intoxicating.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Rob and Mary Linda and I just came from the house next door, which is for sale "by owner," the estate of the 97-year-old woman who died on Palm Sunday.  They're having an open house today and we just went for a nosy neighbor peek.  Needs a lot of updating, but we hope they get the price they're asking.

Loved the I DO, I DO story, DR ChasSmith!  I also have one from 1967:  Mom took me for my first visit to NYC and we saw CABARET.  We waited at the stage door afterwards and it was right next to the I DO, I DO stage door.  We saw Robert Preston and Mary Martin come out and get into a limo together.  When I close my eyes, I can still see them waving out the back window of the car.

Here is the house that's for sale next door:

9 Alamo Road

In the last photo, you can see the back of our house above the garage.

Very lazy Sunday.  Went to church.  Had lunch at Third Generation:  Fried chicken, rice/gravy, black-eyed peas and mixed greens, w/cornbread.  Chocolate layer cake for dessert.  Modest portions of everything.

Have a slight headache behind my right eye.  Don't know what the cause is. Possibly sinus-related.

Busy week ahead.  It all culminates Saturday with a wedding in upstate SC on Saturday afternoon.  Sigh.

They're not quite ready for that step, DR Jane.

I was wondering about that, myself.  Someday!

Those are some nice looking houses, Ginny.  I like the look of brick houses. :)

On my trip up from the basement, the elevator stopped twice between floors.  I pressed "close" and it continued to three.  I fear this bodes ill for the next week or so.

Elevator vibes!!!!!

And I'm in pre-production for my new play. I am also working on an Indiegogo Campaign.

Good luck, Michael!

Well, since I have no set plans for today, I figure that it's time that I attend to my morning ablutions since it's almost noon.

Be back later.

Watching Raging Bull for the first time, I think, since it came out. The movie is admittedly wonderful, De Niro is outrageous, but I had forgotten how effective Cathy Moriarty is. And she looks perfect.
