And the word of the day is: LEPTODACTYLOUS!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I slept remarkably well last night.  I had a long dream about working at The Drama Book Shop and something about a musical passage with the bass descending in thirds.

DR TCB, I order from Chewy.com, Petco, and Amazon for the cats, depending on prices and how quickly I need something. I haven't tried Petsmart yet.

I need to do laundry this week, but I haven't decided if today or tomorrow will be the day.

Yesterday on Facebook, a high school friend shared a post from a woman in Florence Kentucky.  It was a photo of a one-year-old French bulldog.  The woman said her husband had either sold or given away their daughter's puppy and she was trying to find it.  I posted: Your husband should be hanged by his tiny balls and beaten to a pulp.

So, I am now suspended for 30 days because Facebook claims I am inciting violence.

DR George, it's been my discovery in years of working with John Yap and listening to many of his "complete" recordings that he does very little research before recording. Both his Kiss Me Kate and Grease recordings follow the current published vocal scores with their cleaned-up-for-high-schools lyrics. John McGlinn's complete Kiss Me Kate recording uses Porter's original lyrics.

I will hear Anyone Can Whistle when I find a used copy, so I'm not giving Mr Yap any money.  From the one track I've heard, I would say there's too much "acting" going on compared to the wonderful original cast recording.

One might almost think that The White Sheik is chique.

Wow - a bootleg CD of the audio file of Barber's Anthony and Cleopatra from the Met is going for over $900 on Amazon.

Also, on the Anyone Can Whistle booklet: the art is ugly, and the font used is precious and unreadable.

I've been reading every so often the Real A's One from Column A from Stephen Sondheim Stage and laughing myself silly.  I'm only in November 1997, but it's a great place to go when one is bored with the frivolities of politics and plague.

Kitty cleanup was particularly messy this morning.  One of the cats vomited all over their dish and floor.  I suspect Annabelle was the sick one.  I had to clean the floor and wash the food mat as well as taking care of their dishes and the litter.

Today my sister Paula and my uncle Wayne - who was just diagnosed with small cell carcinoma - are having a socially distanced lunch at my house.

I will let him lead the conversation and see where he wants it to go.
