When I was growing up, King Lear was one of the shows that the Shakespeare in the Park company never staged. Nice to discover they’re showing a video of a production from last year this weekend.

So, in last month's Kritzerland show I premiered a song called Goin' Home - I said I'd never been able to find a lyric sheet on it but remembered the hook section and had always liked it.  I remembered what the verses were about but simply came up empty and I save EVERYTHING.  So, I'm out in the garage today and I see a box - I pulled this box full of stuff prior to writing the book because it had scripts for Start at the Top and Feast, etc.  And I completely forgot I'd pulled it and never looked in it.  If I had, I would have been able to at least talk about the song in Start at the Top that preceded the good one I ultimately wrote, called You Said - I don't think I would have put the lyrics for the first attempt in the book but I certainly would have talked about it - it wasn't a good song but it was interesting seeing it again and seeing it I kind of remembered the tune.  It also had the older version of the title song.  AND, I found they original lyric sheet for Goin' Home - I couldn't believe it - it was the working sheet with lots of cross outs and stuff.  Turns out I'd remembered one line of the hook incorrectly but I liked the way I misremembered it better, and there were the verses and they were indeed about what I thought they were about, but not nearly as good as what I wrote a month ago.  And it was for a guy.  That I couldn't believe at all.  So, that was fun.

I love the tricks memory plays on us. Glad you made the find.

A coworker announced today that he has cancer and that it's in an advanced stage. He's much younger than me. Cancer sucks.

It’s weird being the same age as old people

Good luck they are delivered tomorrow.

Went outside earlier to see the strawberry moon. But it was not to be. Too early at 9 pm for the moon to be up.

What I did get to see were plenty of fireflies skipping about. Beautiful.

Lovely  😊

I set an alarm for 15 minutes and went back to look at the moon. Indeed it was bathed in a strawberry glow and was huge on the horizon.

You have had a beautiful evening.

Found the AMTSJ production of Little Shop of Horrors online. It features several people who have worked with BK before, including Hal Linden and Christiane Noll.

I had not planned on attending the event (online), for my own personal reasons.
