Well, you've read the notes, the notes gave you a charge, and now it is time for you to post until the charged cows come home.

I'm attending a reading of a new musical today at noon.  I hope I see a few friends there, and I hope it's good!

I went to take care of the litter and found little white footsteps all over the floor.  Stella got into the bag of pesticide, tore it open and dry white powder was an inch deep all over hrte bathroom floor and her.  I got the vacuum and got up what I could, thenm mopped the floor.  I took Miss Stella and, holding tight, held her under the bathtub faucet till she was completely washed off.  She is not happy, but neither am I.

The pesticide is supposedly pet safe, but I don't want her ingesting all that crap.

DR JANE yes one of them IS the director of record.

No we won't be sending a letter to them.  Why give them something to wave around and show how they have been victimized.  My guess is that sooner or later one or both will try to do another show here....but they will not get the opportunity.

I close the iron door on you.....

TOD:

Oscar Peterson West Side Story

There was some company that produced records that I think were mostly overtures or mash ups as they say nowadays....

Forty nine cents.....I had My Fair Lady/South Pacific and Oklahoma!/Kiss Me Kate....

I may still have a couple of them....nice orchestras.

I have to keep reminding myself, she's a kitten! I can't punish her for being exactly what she is.  I should have put it in the cabinet under the kitchen sink, and I do not know at this moment why the hell I didn't think about that.

I just mopped the bathroom and kitchen floors again.  In another fifteen minutes I will vacuum again.  I don't think it's fair to the neighbors to vacuum before 9:00, but I was sure raising a racket at 8:30 today.  I'll empty the bag as well.  I will probably end up covered in pesticide.

Sounds like you got things under control there, DR Elmore.

I know how scary it is when you think they could be in danger of ingesting something bad. I wouldn't even have known there were such things as pet-safe pesticides, and I must remember that.

My appreciation for Broadway show covers never really took off till thirty years ago when I was actively collecting records and I was getting all kinds of recommendations on certain high quality must-have albums which included jazz and other covers.

I began with the WEST SIDE STORY ones, and Stan Kenton's album was my first of those. And as I typed that I remembered where I bought it:  at a secondhand record store in Santa Monica called Odyssey which I'm thinking was on Wilshire. That rendition was a fine kickoff and my next WSS ones were the Oscar Peterson and the Andre Previn/Shelley Manne. I then branched out to more shows by Previn/Manne and a couple of Percy Faith ones, and I guess I was off and running.

I later acquired many of the ones BK issued on CD. For someone who grew up on just cast albums and soundtrack albums for the most part, it's been a fun new avenue of exploration and appreciation.

I'm not sure I will get to that reading at noon.  I'm more concerned with the mess and the cats at the moment. I'll give it another hour.  I need to do laundry to clean up the bathroom rug, and that's two hours out of my day.

I put the laundry in the washers, came up, and sent the producer of the reading my regrets.  He's got a reading of a musical tomorrow that I'm attending, so I told him I would see him then.

It is very scary.

I learned about the pet safe product this summer when it was needed in a planter in our building atrium.

I changed clothes and put the ones I had been wearing into the washers with the other things going through a second wash.  When this is all finished. I need to  clean the space under my bed.
