Well, you've read the notes, the notes were lonely, and now it is time for you to post until the lonely cows come home.

And the word of the day is: AUDIOPHILE!

Hopefully, everyone had a good day, yesterday!

Today, I'll be going to work and come home whenever it's done...hopefully, sooner rather than later. But first, sleep.

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, all!

I slept quite nicely and warmly in a cold room until around 4:00. Shortly thereafter, Annabelle crawled under the blankets to get warm. She sleeps high in the bookcase square in the draft from the open window, so I'm always surprised and happy to discover she's not a block of ice by early morning.

This afternoon I will see the Irish Rep's production of Meet Me In St Louis, which is a shortened version of the musical that played on Broadway in the 1980s. I love the film. but I did not love stage version. I'm looking forward to this to hear Joshie's orchestrations and John Bell's musical direction. My harpist friend Karen Lindquist plays in the ensemble.

That should be lovely, DR elmore3003.

Today is the DH's birthday. We have absolutely nothing planned.

singdaw · « **Reply #9 on:** December 26, 2020, 05:00:16 AM »

We've been watching tours/demonstrations of English pipe organs. The DH is kind of a geek that way.

Lots of good opera and music in today's notes.

Saturday morning greetings! It kind of feels like Monday...

DR Elmore that’s been showing up on my Facebook and I’ve been meaning to ask you about it. If we’re back from our errands and have our groceries put away by 3, I might join you this afternoon. Save me a seat!

Good morning, all.

Interesting, indeed, how it kind of *doesn't* feel like a Saturday.

We're getting to have facetime with my uncle in Germany in about a half hour.

TOD:

Carol sent me an album of photos of myself from trips we've taken through the years with wishes for more adventures when this craziness is over.

I also received some high quality decaf that I've been enjoying as well as Springsteen's latest album and a gift certificate to Amazon.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** December 26, 2020, 06:40:43 AM »

High quality decaf ideas would be welcome here.

I drink both decaf and regular, depending. My only gripe with decafs is that I always crave a full bodied mouthfeel, regardless, and many decafs just tend to taste weak to me.

This was an Ethiopian blend from nuts.com.

I have been looking for some light roast decaf coffee lately, because it supposedly helps lower blood sugar. I try most anything that says that. But I haven't been able to find any in this stores. Only on Amazon, which I will likely use my gift card for.

John G. · « **Reply #20 on:** December 26, 2020, 06:51:44 AM »

My way of trying to get that mouthfeel sometimes is just using a half-tablespoon more. Doesn't always work, but hot brown water is not my favorite thing in the world.

John G. · « **Reply #21 on:** December 26, 2020, 06:57:22 AM »

I received the Indiegogo email asking about The Creature. Are people filling them out? I can’t remember.

singdaw · « **Reply #22 on:** December 26, 2020, 06:58:40 AM »

I didn't.

If bk says it is helpful, I certainly will.

Well it's not Schwanda.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #25 on:** December 26, 2020, 07:29:32 AM »

That is my favorite new theatrical comment that I will use in the upcoming year......

Jrand74 · « **Reply #26 on:** December 26, 2020, 07:30:22 AM »

DR GEORGE the State of Indiana fiscal year ends on June 30.....so we had our "get it done" before summer was well under way.
