Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no batteries, and now it is time for you to post until the not included cows come home.

Listening to more Berlioz - I can tolerate Symphonie Fantastique, especially with Munch, but haven't cared for anything else - but am kind of enjoying L'Enfance du Christ - very tuneful and the orchestral bits are really nice.  So, a nice discovery.

I slept very well until 3:00AM.  I was awake, and I kept hearing a cat having sneeze attacks.  I thought it was Stella, but ut tunred out to be Annabelle, who was not in her usual night-time aerie up in the bookcases.  I decided to use the toilet, and all three cats followed me.  Once in the bathroom, neither Annabelle nor Stella had any sneezing fits, and I checked their noses.  So, I went back to bed, Thatch curled up beside me, and I slept fine until the alarm rang.

TOD:  I think I'd rather have the country worried about the pandemic than give false hope that it's over.  There are enough fools out there who seem to believe it is.

Last night we watched Sleeping Murder, from Season 2 of Geraldine McEwan's Miss Marple series.  One of its plot concerns is a performance group, "The Funnybones, " much like Priestley's Good Companions.

Adam Schiff is on CBS This Morning to discuss John Bolton's book, which I've ordered.  When Trump, who does nothing but spread lies and misinformation, calls Bolton a liar I have to laugh.

And kitty cleanup is finished.  I'd like to leave at 9:00 for the lab.

Good news on the Dr. visit, DR vixmom.

I wonder if this is something I've had, too. They kind of look like a weird bruise, but not once have I ever thought I'd knocked my arm or hand on anything, and there's no tenderness. In a few days they're gone. Who can explain it. Who can tell you why.

I got a residual check yesterday for KEATON'S COP, the first film script I sold.

That movie is 30 years old, and it keeps on giving.

I love residuals.

Sounds like one I’d love. The Good Companions is probably among my top five favorite novels.

Yesterday, I "fired" the guy who was doing the audio edition of my PETER LORRE one-person play.

Long story, which I won't bore you with.

If you know an ACTOR who does a good "Peter Lorre" and does audios, please have him contact me.

I like a lot of Berlioz, but haven't been able to get into other Berlioz.

The Damnation of Faust and Romeo and Juliet eventually became favorites. Each had sections of ear candy that satisfied instantly, with long stretches that required patient listening and study to get there. But get there I did, with the help of Messrs. Munch and Toscanini, respectively.

The only opera I got somewhat familiar with back in the day is Les Troyens.

In the meantime, the audio for my BUD ABBOTT ALONE play (published only 3 weeks ago), is virtually complete, including music and sfx. 

I like working with dedicated performers.

I hope DR ELMORE's trip uptown is going well.

Vibes for DR VIXMOM that soneone's cast comes off!

Vibes for DR TCB in his quest.  Maybe he will have good NEWS for us soon.

Continued BATTERY vibes for MR BK.  Which reminds me of one of my favorite headlines:

BATTERY STOLEN, YOUTH CHARGED

DR GEORGE if I tried to make those crackers, I would probably burn my house down.  And you wouldn't want to be responsible for making me homeless.

TOD:

I don't know.  I certainly think it's possible. 

I'm not sure what happens to folks when they get to Washington - it must be something in the air.  It suddenly becomes US [the politicians] against THEM [we the people].  And either their self-interest or greed or desire for power pits them against common sense.

This is especially true for "lifetime" politicians. They will use ANY situation to fatten their pockets, make themselves look good, and stay in power.

So it's possible.....but I am like DR ELMORE - I think I would rather them err on the side of caution for us.  They're all we have - and we have to trust that some semblance of honor and responsibility will prevail.

The Founding Fathers were very smart and they knew what they were doing.....it will take more than what we're going through now to get us down.

We ain't down yet!  And I have confidence that better days are ahead for we the people.

And I guess that was kind of political.
