Nice photo, DR Jane!

I saw "On the Basis of Sex" yesterday. It's about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I enjoyed it very much and was surprised that the reviews weren't better.

Annabelle has taken over my desk for some R&R, so I've been uprooted for a bit. I've got the laundry ready for tomorrow and Thatch had some turkey treat. I've been listening to the Dubliners and the Chieftains.

I'm up, I'm up - about seven hours of sleep.

Jan and Jane. Yes the chocolates can be in the house without me seeking them out and eating them. I only eat them if Vixdad hands one to me, and even then I can easily say no

I arrived at church, checked the setting of the altar, set up coffee hour, attended he service, made an announcement about needing coffeehour hosts, reset the altar, visited with various people, went to one of the delis, (Rick's Place) had egg sandwiches made (scrambled egg with sausage on an onion roll for Vixdad, 2 overeasy with muesnster cheese and bacon on a poppy seed roll for me) came home and breakfasted with Vixdad, then went back to church for an assisting minister and deacons meeting and then back home again

I suppose I could have made several posts there

Nice photo, DR Jane!

Thank you. That was about the clearest day we had.

I should be sleeping. Instead I am under the covers and hoping a ricolla helps me feel better.

Annabelle's nose is filled with dried gunk. I think I've cleaned most of it but she is very very pissed at me at the moment.

Very nice!

Did lots of futzing and finessing and am still trying to figure out if I'm happy with the chapter breaks, although they seem to work now - I'm just still waffling about having long first two chapters or having split them into three.

I wrote one new page, too. In a little while I'll go get some food - not sure what, though.

Last night’s La Mancha (Man of) was most interesting.

I have to award the musical execution a Fail, but I was able to see how the concept of cast musicians could work in this piece, given the right people to make it happen. These weren’t the right people. Nor were a few of the cast the right people to carry a tune, regardless of the manner of accompaniment.

But they had a good closing following a good run, and a good if occasionally cringeworthy time was had by all.

Harlequin Productions, a local professional theater company, is going to do this show (I can't wait!), and it sounds like they're going to do essentially the same thing, use actor/musicians: https://harlequinproductions.org/show/man-of-la-mancha/. It's being referred to as "a re-orchestration of Man of La Mancha."

A single ensemble of musician/actors play fresh new orchestrations that mash a Flamenco guitar ensemble with a Mexican Banda band in this newly realized production.

Off to the movies, then dinner somewhere.

Be back later with a report!

Or give it to someone else/bring it to church. I would not throw out good chocolate.

You are welcome DR JANE. I am enjoying our vacation to the Mysterious East....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #50 on:** January 06, 2019, 02:27:53 PM »

I am not sure how I feel about a musician performed Man of La Mancha.....what instrument did Dulcinea play?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #51 on:** January 06, 2019, 02:28:27 PM »

Writing vibes for MR BK.....I don't mind long first chapters....I usually don't realize a chapter is L O N G until I reach the end of it.....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #52 on:** January 06, 2019, 02:28:53 PM »

Fifty degrees here.....maybe we won't get ANY snow this winter....which would be okay.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #53 on:** January 06, 2019, 02:29:20 PM »

...with me anyway.....since I don't have to go to work or school....and I don't get any snow days for anything.....

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** January 06, 2019, 02:37:33 PM »

I didn’t describe the musician/cast thing well. Or at all, really.

This production used one person on guitar, one on flute, and one on percussion (a few drums playable by hand, and a snare). These three musicians were dressed as cast and were moved around as cast, but they weren’t characters. Actual cast members played nothing.

The one DR George links to would be a hundred times better right out of the starting gate.

Birdy Barnum is indeed a BOY.....he has a bright blue cere....proclaiming it to be so.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #56 on:** January 06, 2019, 02:41:46 PM »

Ah......I see, DR CHAS SMITH.....not sure if that makes it any better....

Thanks George.
