Back from a productive meeting at which I occasionally had to be strong, but we're going to love doing the show in the venue known as The Wallis.  I completely forgot they're doing a show there I really want to see and I may try to find a single for Thursday night - Jeremy Irons in Long Day's Journey Into Night - saw the set, of course, as we were meeting in the theater - very interesting.

Then I picked up some packages, after which Richard Allen and I had a meal at Hugo's, going over stuff for the event.

Now playing: Already my new favorite Christmas album - The Swingle Singers - absolute magic.  The US title was Christmastime, but the original title is more along the lines of Passport to Christmas, meaning songs from around the world.  The arrangements are stunning, the sound is stunning, and the Singers are stunning.

Just unfriended and blocked two alt-right nut jobs who keep inundating Facebook with fake memes as if they were real.  I got so tired of seeing this crap that I responded strongly, at which point they do the usual "libtard" "Killary" horse manure (these people don't know who or what I am) so I unfriended finally and then blocked finally.  These people are beyond help.  And they both friended me, not the other way around, and there are tons of mutual friends, so I assume that's what these cretins do, just friend any performer or director or writer they can.  The guy is supposedly an "actor" who just posted a completely fake meme supposedly quoting actor Clint Eastwood saying something he obviously could never have said since Mr. Eastwood speaks English, if you get my meaning.  And he said he was "directed" by Eastwood in Sully.  So off I went to the imdb and in the credited and uncredited appearances, a list of around 100 names, nowhere does this jerk's name appear, which means - he was an EXTRA, which means he was hardly "directed" by Mr. Eastwood.

Just in time.  Right after we got on the shuttle it began to pour.  Fortunately the hotel driveway is covered.

Well, it's time for me to leave work now.  I need to do a little shopping at Costco, then go home.

Until later.

An exhausting day at work today, largely because yesterday was so exhausting.

Jeanne, I started listening to the mystery you recommended, the title of which I can't remember. But I am enjoying the beginning of it.

I'll get more into it as soon as I finish Red Rising (on disc 13 or 13) and Barracoon, the lost and finally published Zora Neale Hurston novel. She's one of my favorites.

Right now, I finishing Straight, No Chaser. It's oh so beautiful watching Monk's fingers dance across the keyboard. His fingering technique is so unique, as is the sound he's striving for.

Don't know what I'm going to watch next. I have a ton of flicks from the library, including a film noir with Maureen O'Hara, The Greatest Showman (which I'm not looking forward to) and Another Man, Another Chance, which I am finally catching up with (I have the Kritzerland soundtrack).

Watching the credits of Straight, No Chaser. Clint Eastwood was executive producer. And the negative cutter is someone I knew once upon a time, Noelle Penraat. Actually, I knew her parents more than I knew her.
