Tonight brings a pandemic musical called Repo! The Genetic Opera. I don't think I'm the target audience. The all-star cast includes Sarah Brightman, Paul Sorvino, Anthony Stewart Head and Paris Hilton.

The Vixter was a huge fan of that....., when she was 15

And I think I would have loved it at that age. Instead, I was fairly bored. Surprisingly, it was because it was all just a little too tame and by the numbers.

I think I'm going to head off to read for a while and then try to get some sleep.

Only a DPT booster, without the tetanus?  I haven't heard of that.  This is the one vaccination Bryan asked us about.

The T in DPT is for tetanus.  I was concerned because I'd just had a tetanus shot last June when I fell and cut my face, but the doctor said it was OK (but he said I was smart to ask).  It's the P (pertussus = whooping cough) part that grandparents have to have.

DR George, despite the quarantine, you had an amazing birthday.  That's fantastic.

Thanks, Larry!  It was a good one. :)

That WAS nice DR JOHN G.

DR GEORGE that is a My T Fine photograph of yourself.

I also liked the photo DR ELMORE posted of his cousin and his bird that is not his cat.

Agreed!

Thanks, Jrand!

Ditto!!

I am pleased to announce that my new one-person play, PETER LORRE, is now available in paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.

Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price: Peter has stories about them all.

This is the 28th play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS Collection.

Production rights are available. 

Soon, I will be seeking the right voice actor to do an audio version.

The President's signature is NOT on the physical stimulus checks, but his name is on the MEMO line.

I understand that his signature is boldly there on the follow up letter that everyone will receive.

Yes, I got the follow-up letter a little bit after I received the automatically deposited stimulus money.

Today, my friend Margo and I are going to order some Mexican take-out and go to her house and eat on her porch at a respectable distance from each other. :) We haven't seen each other in quite a while, so we'll have a lot to ketchup on.

I am sure you will enjoy your visit.

I did!  We actually took our food down to the boardwalk on the waterfront, so we sat at benches overlooking the water (there were ships in the bay!...a Pacific Overtures reference ;) ) and chatted and ate and watched the jellyfish and minnows (?) in the water, and seagulls and ducks flying around the area.

Stella had another round at the toilet paper, so every time I go near the bathroom door I get the vapors.  I did discover a terrible leak in the pipe running from the toilet into the wall, so Jeff our super - nice man but not as quick as Val - came up and repaired it.  Stella watched with great interest so my next fear is that I will go into the bathroom and find she's taken the toilet apart.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s free show this weekend is By Jeeves. I just may have to watch that one.

I bought the Region-2 DVD from England back when it was first released.  I haven't watched it in many years, so I was thinking of watching it, too. :)

While social distancing 6 feet from our neighbor, and petting her dog, I asked how her father was.  Yesterday he was in the hospital and not doing well.  She said he passed away last night.  I looked at her and said I wish I could give her a hug, at which point she broke down a bit.  It is bad enough to lose someone during these times, worse not to get hugs of comfort.  At least she was with him and it was due to other medical issues he has been having, not covid. 

That's so sad, Jane. :(

Ginny, oh, you previously only had the T part.  Did he tell you how long the P is good for?  I thought the entire DPT is good for 10 years unless you have an injury and need the tetanus booster.

We get a DPT every 10 years.

It was a little chilly at first, though, but then warmed up.

I did my weekly shopping late this morning.  As has been the case, there weren't a lot of people in the store, so that was good.  I also went to CVS and they had paper towels so I grabbed a 6- pack.

A little things that excite us these days.  Congrats on the paper towels.

Yes, the last time I bought toilet paper it was the highlight of my day.

I truly hope the shortages ease up soon.

I had an exceptionally good shoulder day which is oddly followed by a bad evening.  No need for vibes, just mentioning it as I shouldn't type on my tablet.

DR Jeanne during the facebook discussion I learned that it was the sugar cubes that infected a small percentage of people taking it.  I had thought you had the Salk injection.  Do you remember which it was?

I believe my first two polio vaccines were shots, then we had the sugar cubes. It was my first vaccine that gave me the polio. That was 1956. I later learned that thousands of children died from it. There was a PBS documentary on polio that mentioned this. I believe they used a live virus for a number of years.
