Spent an hour with my friend Jan, who has been battling ovarian cancer. She was in good spirits, but she was hoarse. She had had an esophageal exam on Friday and apparently the tube they inserted left her without a voice.
So silly it made me laugh.
A challenging matinee, thanks to the MD’s MacBook failing on him ... not once, but thrice ... during which times it was on me to sightread heretofore unplayed parts in Mr. Kugel’s lovely hand. Ah, the magic of live theater.

He had hung out in the park in the middle of the block, and there were a lot of people who congregated there. Of course, no one knew the power would get back in before midnight until it actually went on. But the pressure really was on Con Edison to do something quickly. Skip can't walk up stairs?16 flights in 90+ degree weather and 80% humidity? I wouldn't recommend it

(I know iTunes is going away soon, but I thought it was still supposed to be functioning.) Anyway, I went looking for an Aretha Franklin album this morning. Somehow, in addition to my Aretha albums, I also get the option of playing The Maguire Sisters Sing Subways Are for Sleeping. Bizarre.Wait...what's this about iTunes going away??

I didn’t remember that the Russians had an unmanned space craft trying to land on the moon at the same time as Apollo 11.
