Three!

[John G.]

Thankfully the volunteers don’t have to clean up after the patrons at the theater where I usher. There’s a paid crew that does that.

[John G.]

The concession stands have had a change of policy with shows. No water bottles during the symphony. The crinkly sounds are too distracting.

As to the yelling and hollering and the mid-show standing ovations:  Musicals and comedies with all the laughing and clapping seem to be feeling like a key part of what's unique is making it a shared experience, an event which can’t be duplicated at home, not matter how great your system is.

Yelling and hollering is very different from laughing and clapping - laughing and clapping is fine.  Oversized American Idol bull pucky is not.

Back from a Cobb salad and packages.

Rehearsal one begins in ten minutes.

I agree. And the aroma of bull picky is not pleasant in closed environs.

Monday afternoon greetings!  Richard and I are preparing to leave tomorrow for a driving trip to Memphis, Vicksburg, and Natchez and a drive home along the Natchez Trace Parkway.  He has clergy meetings in Memphis Thursday and Friday, then we're vacationing the rest of the trip.  I've been to a noon book discussion at the library where my career began and this evening I'm going with some book friends to hear Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven.

~~~Save Travel Vibes for Ginny and Richard!!~~~

[Jane]

I still want to drive the Natchez Trace Parkway sometime. I love roads like that.

I didn't realize it was something special.  Now I am intrigued.

[George]

I think I didn't say the line about the "bull picky."

Or bull pucky, either! 

[FJL]

"Spelchek"  kept wanting to change "bull pucky" to "bull lucky."

[John G.]

It kept wanting to change "bull pucky" to "bull lucky."

I’m not going to touch that one.

[FJL]

Clarified that "it" = spellcheck. 

[John G.]

How’s The Beast in the Jungle, George?

[George]

How’s The Beast in the Jungle, George?

I'll have to let you know.  I'm listening to Porgy & Bess right now.

[George]

Well, I need to leave now.  I have a Rocky Horror production meeting, then I'm going to see Frankenstein!

Be back later.

Music rehearsal was fine and I shall shortly be on my way to the theater for this evening's rehearsal.

[John G.]

In keeping with the Keir Dullea stories of earlier, I'm watching The Fox, also starring Sandy Dennis. It's very D.H. Lawrence -- and not necessarily in a good way.

[KevinH]

Good evening!

[KevinH]

Back from dinner at my brother and sister-in-law’s house.  We had salad and pasta with homemade sauce.  We had a nice time. 

[KevinH]

Hope you and Richard have a good time, DR Ginny !

Sounds nice.

[John G.]

Dance athleticism is halfway over. My body is both glad and sad about that. It's really good but it's very intense, and tonight was a mental overload on all of the things that have to move at the same time in order to take one step, much less, say two and three in a waltz. I'm exhausted.

[John G.]

Has anyone read The Fox? I can't tell if the two women are supposed to be lesbians or not.

[John G.]

I can tell I don't like all the scenes of snow.

[John G.]

Let's move on
