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

Today, I'm going to my mom's at noon for our quasi-weekly-ish family dinner...but really lunch. I don't remember what she was going to make.

And we're not going to play Phase 10, believe it or not. We're going to play Scrabble, which is my mom's game. I've probably only won one or two games ever, so I will NEVER expect to win, which is fine.

After that, I'll come home and keep the porch light turned OFF. I don't have any Halloween candy, and no one every comes over anyway, so I'm not going to worry about it.

I'll just watch stuff on TV or YouTube or stuff from my DVR. I'll decide in the moment.

George · « **Reply #7 on:** October 31, 2021, 12:25:47 AM »

And now, I'm off.

Have a good (and safe) day, all!

To the cats' dismay, I slept in. They did enjoy their breakfast of tuna and whitefish so I am forgiven.

Last night I finished State of Terror. I liked the book, but I wasn't keen on the last two chapters. I suddenly felt I was at the end of an Agatha Christie where everything is talked out endlessly.

I had a lot of dreams, but I only remember that I had another dream about working at The Drama Book Shop.

We also had another ghostly visitor last night. Around 8:00, I was reading with all three cats on the bed with me when Stella suddenly sat up and stared at the hallway to the apartment door. Then Thatch joined her. After a moment of intense staring into nothing, Stella jumped off the bed and ran into the hall. Sfter a short moment, Thatch followed her, jumped onto the dresser and moved to the end nearest the door, and there he sat for several minutes watching something. Five or so minutes later, both cats returned to me and Annabelle.

Yesterday, I got up to measure 70 or so in my orchestration. I don't know if I will finish it today or not. I've got around 25 bars to go.

Those folks had a lot of talk in them.

It was a long book and needed a faster wrap-up.

Good morning.

I made the vegan snowball cookies early this morning. Honestly, that vegan butter is nasty stuff.

The meringue cookies are a fail; I somehow messed up the egg whites and they wouldn't whip up.

Laura · « **Reply #20 on:** October 31, 2021, 06:51:15 AM »

But there's lots of other stuff.

Elmore, sometimes Leonard stares at the wall, too. And then he runs around like there's a devil chasing him.

Laura · « **Reply #22 on:** October 31, 2021, 06:52:23 AM »

He crouches down and looks under the cabinets. And he waits.

Laura · « **Reply #23 on:** October 31, 2021, 06:53:01 AM »

There's probably a gecko under there. The gecko is welcome in the house; he just needs to avoid Leonard. For his own good.

Tonight the family is coming over and we'll sit at the end of the driveway and meet the neighborhood kids outside. This will be the first time the whole family will be together sine the Christmas just before the pandemic hit.

By "whole family," I am including Wae-Ling. She hasn't seen GS in almost two years!

Laura · « **Reply #25 on:** October 31, 2021, 06:55:09 AM »

That's enough of me.

Happy Halloween, everyone! Here's a real treat for you...the new Broadway Radio Show just posted on this site is an interview with journalist/author Barry Singer all about his book EVER AFTER: Forty Years of Musical Theater and Beyond. It's a wonderful conversation and I highly recommend the book. The book also contains a lovely section praising the one and only Bruce Kimmel for his work producing valuable cast recordings!

HA! DR ELMORE of course October 31 is one of the days of the year when spirits move up or down in the pecking order depending on how well they've done.....so they are certainly restless....for a few days before and after.

The other day that happens is April 30.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #28 on:** October 31, 2021, 07:18:53 AM »

We had a lot of fun at the party last night....I will post a photo or two later today.

Yes DR singdaw the Barnabas Collins cocktail is BLOOD RED. It is a sangria mixed with cranberry juice.

I know Mr. Singer. He's a piece of work.
