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

That's really too bad about the bad video directing.  You'd think that someone would have a different opinion on his camera work.

It was a strange night of sleep. I woke around 11:30 and my right leg was behaving badly. I tried sleeping for about an hour on my large leg-supporting pillow and that helped. The rest of the night was very restless but faithful little Thatch stayed with me. Annabelle has abandoned me for her aerie in the bookcases.

I woke around 3:30 following a dream in which I was in a sinking ship, the Titanic or some other, and I was trying to drag a large bag of dry goods I was taking somewhere. It opened at the bottom opf a staircase to the deck and I had coats, sweaters, etc. all over the place. I got to the deck, and the ship seemed to be a battleship or aircraft carrier.

Then I dreamed I was walking in Central Park, perhaps, with an orchestrator wh did not want to join Local 802, and I tld him, you can't work on Broadway without becoming a member. Then I was sitting in a rehearsal for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus, and Susan Lucci was rehearsing with them. We had a brief talk about our late friend Bill Tynes.

BK, I don't think the Royal Ballet has any say about Opus Arte's production of their videos. I sent Opus arte an email telling them what a lousy job they were doing with their ballet videos and got no response. I think the thing to do is to post comments about the videos on Amazon.co.uk.

Tomorrow morning is laundry day, so I must put that together today so I can invade the laundry room tomorrow as soon as the cats are fed. I need to get the dustbuster out and clean up a ton of kitty kibble.

DR singdaw, I got the new Meredith Willson book, but the author is one of those academics who knows nothing about theater in practice. There are several errors due to this ignorance in his book on the making of My Fair Lady. He is making, however, a huge effort to establish himself as the latest oracle on musical theatre.

It's supposed to get up to the high 80s today. I had better check to see how the AC is coping.

I just received an email concerning Annabelle and Thatch from someone trying to get in touch with me.  I hope she's a literary agent!

This, for me, is practically ideal summer weather, topping off in the mid-80s during the afternoon, and going down to a wonderful low-50s open-window sleeping temperature at night.

It won't last long.

I just received my little package from Premiere Opera that included a bootleg of a 2016 production of The Fantasticks at the Pasadena Playhouse, with Hal Linden playing the Old Actor. Looking forward to watching it this evening.

This morning I tried DR Laura's Instant Pot technique for hard-boiled eggs from a few days ago.  It worked flawlessly.  I'm never going back!  So easy to peel.  Cooked perfectly.

It is Wednesday.  Rehearsal was okay last night.

The suggestion I made about the set was accepted by the director who put it in place last night - and what a difference it made.....if I do say so myself.  The director said Thank you to me....

And we're off!  We open on June 1....for ten performances with an audience of 80 seats for each performance.
