I'm up, I'm up - about five hours of sleep, I think.  I forgot I had to buy Bounce so I was at Gelson's already and got the Chicken Caesar for later and two twelve-packs of Diet Coke.  The only reason there's a "shortage" is because of hoarders and third-party Amazon sellers who jack the price up triple - Amazon should NOT allow this at all.  eBay, too.

I have a horrible feeling that things are going to get a lot worse, epidemiological-wise, in the coming months, and that there are going to be a lot more product shortages. Alas.

DR elmore3003, I was wondering-


Do you have complete reign on the orchestrations?  Is there an unwritten expectation that you will "use" as much of the orchestra as possible?

TCB, are you and Sasha getting along nicely? Is she a nice cat? She's still pretty young; is she running around playing with everything?

I'm an hour into Ran. I love it. King Lear in feudal Japanese society. I like the fact that Kurosawa changed the story from daughters to sons. It actually makes the woman married to the eldest son more hideously evil than Lear's elder daughters.

Benjamin Britten
George Gershwin
Lotte Lenya

Three names with the same letter should mean good luck of some sort.

"Lost Letters from Lotte Lenya"  sounds like a sad song or a comedy song in the making.

This is for a masked ball fund raiser, I believe, for the Philly Pops, and the orchestration is big band: 5 reeds, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, guitar, piano, bass and drums.

It's being modeled after Truman Capote's 1966 back & white ball at the Plaza Hotel.

My brother Randy just called.  We have an offer on the Ohio property, and Randy was curious to know if I had the email with the zoning restrictions.  The potential buyer wants to put a storage locker building on the property.

I did not have the zoning restrictions, so if Randy cannot find his copy, the realtor says he can get them on Monday.

I'm caught up. 

I'm sitting in my classroom, (computer lab) 2 hours early for a Confirmation mass.  I guess I didn't read that these 2 confirmation masses were at 12 and 2 and not 10 and 12.  I was a bit angry for a bit, now I'm calm.  In my classroom, I have things I can do, and I'll just do what I had planned to do this afternoon tomorrow afternoon.  I'm over it.   I've been on an Aspects of Love kick for the past week. So, I put on Act Two and calming down a bit.  I think I'm one of 10 people in my circle of friends that like this show, but it's tied with #1 for my favorite ALW show (tied with Sunset Blvd - it's a really close tie!)   

So I'll get some work done whilst I'm here and do my thing at 12:00 and 2:00 - I took some time off tonight and I have someone covering the 5:00pm mass for me.  Going to hang out with some friends - social distanced, of course.

Ran has reached its end. Very emotional experience. Very violent. Very graphic.
