Not to get political, really, just a philosophical thought about non-disclosure agreements. it's sounding to me that the Trump non-disclosure agreements interviews are people who hedged their bets that their stories might have been totally worthless if he hadn't been elected, so they took what they could at the time. This could be interesting for the future of all contracts, if someone can just void a contract any time the thing they're selling is worth more a few years later.

Friday morning greetings! Richard and I will grocery shop today, along with everyone else anticipating a snowy day tomorrow. Tonight we're using some friends' tickets to Middletown Lyric Theatre's Blues in the Night. Anita and her husband are subscribers and have to be out of town this weekend, so we're going in their place.

Dr Ginny, here are Jim Martin's daughter and her husband Tim at last night's opening of Frozen. Tim was the director's assistant. She looks so much like her father.

Yes, she has his eyes.

In other local theatre news, I've just made arrangements to go to Ron Fetzer's memorial service with my friend Margie, who knew him from her high school days. Neither of our husbands knew him well, she didn't want to go alone, and I'd been thinking of going myself. She was grateful when I offered to drive, because she and her husband are now a one-car couple and she hates to leave Brian without transportation.

I am glad you have a friend to go with. May the service give you comfort.

Actually, Margie called ME. I probably wouldn't have taken the initiative, but it seems like the right thing to do. This is someone I knew a long time ago, but reconnected with during the recent 50th anniversary at the local Miami University campus.

Here we are after filming 90 minutes of video footage about the auditorium. Ron is "center stage":

I just looked at Craig's work calendar. Spring break, including 2 week ends, was reduced from 10 days to 4 days.

The students in his school might not have been planning vacations, however, I suspect many of them had to request time off from work to be home. I hope I am wrong and money wasn't lost due to this new system.

Amazon hardcover delivery date was changed to next Wednesday - I cancelled and they refunded money they should not have taken until it was actually shipped. Publisher books (hopefully BOTH) are out for delivery and will hopefully arrive soon.

Druxy, I know the order of release of the two Lang films - were you confused by something I wrote?

DR George, enjoy the show tonight.

Thanks, Jane. I've heard very good things about the show, so I'm excited to see it.

I have today off, so I enjoyed my hike up the mountain.

I would enjoy a hike up a mountain. It has been awhile so I might be out of shape and not enjoy it as much as I should

It has warmed up considerably and the snow had melted to large degree, what a difference a day makes

I felt so bad for you looking at that snow storm. We luckily missed it completely. There are still huge 5 feet mounds of snow everywhere. But the roads are completely clear. I cannot deal with anymore snow so I hope that we have seen the last of it. Although unfortunately it will still probably be another month of looking at it on the lawns.

Back from picking up the book package and some lunch.

Hardcover looks fine. But there's a little problem with it, not anything anyone will really notice I don't think so I did go ahead and put in the order. Then I've spent the last hour on the phone with the publisher and they'll fix the problem but that means after this order is shipped we go through the entire submission process again - it's clearly their fault as the PDF we sent of the interior is perfect. Someone on their end somehow altered it slightly, again I don't think any reader will even be aware of it, but since a PDF cannot be altered something went wrong, clearly. I didn't catch it in the galley I approved because of the galley itself, which had some marks in it I've never seen in a galley, so I just assumed it would all be fine. This one's been endlessly crazy and except for the one great gal I deal with on orders, no one has communicated with me at all - this may be my final time with them - too many other options.

Back from the Apple, and on my way out the door to this LES MIS I simply cannot mis (see what I did there?), as much as I'd like to, at least tonight. But it's my only chance, and I must support these friends.

Someone made strawberry cheesecake ice cream and brought it to work today.

Insert very happy face.

Tomorrow, back into the city for GRAND HOTEL.

We must arrange to meet. Actually, it's very simple. After the show and the talkback, DR vixmom and I, and my housemates, should proceed to the same corridor as last year, on audience right, where we will meet DR Elmore.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** March 23, 2018, 02:28:44 PM »

We'll be in the Mezzanine, Row D, which is four rows behind the Grand Tier.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** March 23, 2018, 02:30:15 PM »

If it were just me, I'd take the train, but my party would prefer the car and less schlepping up and down from Grand Central. So I still have to figure out where we're parking and hopefully get a good coupon.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** March 23, 2018, 02:31:43 PM »

For now, I had better sign off and get a little food into my person, along with some coffee, lest I snore throughout the MIS.

Not my favorite, but it does sound really good...especially that it's home made!

Evening again.

Another day has passed me by, although it was a shrimp and grits day with caramel cake for dessert.

The place was very busy....the line took forever and we had to sit at a table in the very back of the building. I sat in a chair and it promptly collapsed backward. I sat on the floor feeling very undignified. I got up, repositioned the chair and found out it was simply unfit for human occupancy. The management was beside itself, but I was unhurt and was given a new sturdy chair.

The food was great.

Spent this aftenoon playing SkipBo with my mom and my aunt.

Time for chow, I guess. It will be creamed beef on toast tonight.
