Good morning, all.

Slept in a bit, just enough to actually feel like I did. Still feel groggy. Which will be okay for a little while. It was one HELL of a week.

More coffee!

An update seems to have fixed my ClipGrab problem.

It is always nice to see photos of former DR Sandra.

I had some laundry to do this morning, thanks to one cat throwing up on the kitchen rug and Stella's mess from yesterday. That's finished, I've paid and mailed some bills, and I've discovered I have mislaid a credit card. Damn!

Oh right. I hope that means Best Buy won't be busy today.

I'm listening to the OBC of Best Little Whorehouse, which I was lucky to see just before the cast changes in 1979. I didn't know the show and had no real interest in seeing but my college friend Karen was the wardrobe supervisor and she forced me to go one Saturday night. Tomorrow the cast changes, she said, and you've got to see this cast. It's brilliant.

It was one of the best pieces of advice I ever got.

The cast was extraordinary, the staging was glorious, and it was one of the funniest things I ever sat through. At the end, the audience stood, cheered, and screamed. I sat there and sobbed. It was one of the funniest things I had ever seen, but it was about the saddest losers. Carlin Glynn closed the first act with the monologue about the Kennedys and "The Bus From Amarillo," like "Doatsy Mae" another song about dreamers whose tiny lives prevent them from doing much. And then the final scene between Miss Mona and the Sheriff - will they end up together or avoid the issue? - was straight out of The Cherry Orchard. God, it was a brilliant heartbreaking show.

I enjoyed reading about DR ELMORE's night at the whorehouse.

I have been listening to pronunciations of our granddaughter's name. Because of the spelling, which I do agree with, I expect there will be issues. I won't be sharing the name just in case they change their mind once she arrives.

I've been listening to the three "Unsung Musicals," and No. 3 just knocks the socks off me.

Hopefully once people learn to say it they won't have any problems. One of my nieces has a common name but an usual spelling. So everyone gets her name right. But they get the spelling wrong. It sort of drives me crazy especially when it is family or close friends.

Keith gets Kieth way too often. Bryan gets Brian and sometimes Brain. When he was young he liked Brain

Oh, and Jennifer I like the yn spelling vs en on your niece's name.

Carol Hall’s work on the show was brilliant. I don’t think she got a Tony nomination. Of course, thst was the year of Sweeney Todd.

Later in the run they moved "The Bus From Amarillo" to the end of act Two, and I think that was a mistake.

I had a few too many choices of flicks for this evening. I need to finish up the Fritz Lang Indian series, so The Indian Tomb it is.

We had another day without rain. I need one more day rain free as not to get caught in it tomorrow morning.

The allergens in the air here are really and truly out to kill people right now. Just a few minutes of exposure today had been sneezing -- and I took all of my usual meds.

But it was a beautiful day. Bright, sunny, hardly a cloud in the sky. Made me want to be on a beach.
