TOD:

My Little Town
59th Street Bridge Song
The Boxer
I Am a Rock


For reasons I'm not sure I could ever fully explain, "The Boxer" reduces me to tears, same with Guy Haines' recording of "The Cowboy Waltz" and Elton John's "Daniel."  Few songs hit me this hard but these do.

Yeah, I know what you mean. There are a few songs that do that to me. And of course, I can’t think of a single one right now.

Dear Lord in Heaven, Howard be thy name.

Yesterday was the Day from HELL.....

ANNIE is sold out - people are incensed they can't get tickets....I spent the day sending out stories for the Beauty and the Beast auditions coming up Sunday & Monday....and calling to add SOLD OUT stencils to all the newspaper ads.

Got to the theatre early....three people were in line fuming because the box office person was on the phone.....I always take the phone off the hook and handle the in person folks....two of them had not received their season tickets in the mail.

They were all mad...so I looked them up and told them I would make them duplicate tickets....also said if the real tickets come, THROW AWAY THE DUPLICATES, which they won't and we'll have tickets on some night with more than one ticket for some seats....

The ticket person finally showed up and said two of those people had called her and that we should have looked in the front of the reservation box, because she had already made duplicate tickets for them.....KARNAK.

Then I had to redo the ensemble ending to I DON'T NEED ANYTHING BUT YOU....during the first scene....and almost missed my cue for Scene Two....and forgot to put on my shirt tie under my police uniform....

And then....well.....it was a hell of a day....

And that, teacher, is why I was absent yesterday.....

The audiobook of Ron Chernow’s Grant biography arrived today. It is 38 files long. Each one is 1:15 long. My life doesn’t seem that long.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  Because our fridge was empty, Richard and I went out for breakfast, followed by a $135 trip to Kroger.  That’s all put away now, we’ve started laundry, and Richard is out doing some other errands.

I’ll spend that on groceries and later decide I have nothing for dinner.

Thanks DR JOHN G and DR CHAS SMITH....indeed....

I just got a note....I have to go back to the black pants because the navy blue pants make my jacket look black.....

Maybe I should just tear them apart and sew them together so I have one navy blue leg and one black leg....

There will be a bit of tsurus today: I have to deal with my HMO again over this mess with the X-ray bill - why did I not receive this until 8 months after the X-rays? - and that missing $297 payment.

This is how screwed up my HMO is:
when I called about this unpaid bill on Friday, I was told by a customer service rep that the referral physician had not sent a referral request for the X-rays and I needed my primary care physician to submit a post-dated referral.  I sent my doctor the request for a post-dated referral on Friday.  When I got home last night, Dr Teng's email said that it was too late and she could do nothig.

Just now, a customer service rep told me the whole shebang was paid on May 18 and I am off the hook.  She gave me a reference number!

Strange that it all happened this way, but great news that it did!!

One of our 100-seat theaters is thinking about EDWIN DROOD, which I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know. Could that play decently with a six or seven piece band?

How about GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE, should it become available over the next year or so?

I love the Mystery of Edwin Drood

DR George of course you had to have an enchilada.  I would have had a little guacamole instead of sour cream and whole black beans if they have them.

I like black beans, but I didn't think about that.  I don't care for guacamole, though. :P

DR George I seem to recall I was told if I turned off autocorrect it would also turn off spellcheck.  Next time we go to Best Buy I will try and ask the Samsung rep.  There is usually one there.

Ahh...that actually makes sense.  But why does it have to be that way??

Allergies.  Annabelle was calm and well-mannered as they prodded, poked, and rinsed out her nasal passages.  I must now purchase a humidifier.
