Last night was the Irish Rep's Gala, conducted by my friend John Bell, who's conducting the My Fair Lady revival at the moment, and orchestrations by Joshie. He called me around 6:00 to offer me an extra ticket he was given, but I turned him down because I was in the midst of taking care of the cats, dosing Annabelle, and trying to prepare dinner for myself. I couldn't have got to Town Hall by 6:45. I'm sorry I missed it. Last year's was wonderful.
