Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in the home stretch and got to the finish line, and now it is time for you to post until the stretching cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SCANDENT!

First post after BK!

From yesterday:

Good night, Tom. I hope you're able to sleep well and that you feel better in the morning.

BK, assuming that you haven't thought of this already, why don't you post your stretch goal of the cast album on the main campaign page (if you can update it)? I've seen a lot of Indiegogo and Kickstarter campaigns list what their stretch goals are and what levels will allow them to happen. I know you put that in your updates, but seeing that on the main page could entice people to contribute a little more than what they might've originally thought about, or inspire people to contribute again. Just a thought.

Well, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Good idea - I'll add that in the morning.

I sort-of like the image of stretching cows for some reason.

Another bad night and sleeping late. This check nonsense has really bent me out of shape.

DR George, Annabelle's food is working my last nerve. The Fancy Feast has been pretty much a disaster. I need to try some other brands of wet food. She was eating Rachel Ray's dry food for a bit, but she's bee ignoring that lately and seems to prefer Meow Mix Seafood.

The treats I have are my only real success and she loves the Purina Party Mix and the Greenies dental treats.

Since my Social Security lands on Wednesday, I can at least pay all the bills today, so that's cheery news od a sort.

RIP, Richard Wilbur! Best Moliere translator around, whose CANDIDE lyrics, which he revised with every new attempt to "fix" a problematic show, have the same devilish wit as the score.

A late sleep and a very slow start for the likes of me this morning.

Crazy dreams, too. THREE (3) -- at least -- on themes revisited ad infinitum and ad nauseum over the years. First one was an actual nightmare. Like I needed that.

I read his Misanthrope translation in high school. It remains a reading highlight of my life. What beautiful poetry.

His translation of TARTUFFE at the Circle in the square in the 1970's was so much fun, and many of us in my school had heard of him because of CANDIDE, so I think that's why we were so excited to see it.
