Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a Muse Margaret call, and now it is time for you to post until the calling cows come home.

BK, today is the 9th of the month.  Shouldn’t you be finished with the book by now?

Congrats on Muse Margaret's call, BK!

I was literally just about to post this when yesterday's day closed, so I still had the link to Tom's post:

So, you left early?

Yup, shortly after the intermission ended and the second part of the evening started.  It was loud and really there was nothing else for me to do.  There were plenty of ushers, but since there were no programs or concessions, there wouldn't be much of anything to pick up after everyone left, so the house manager said that I could go. :)

Just before intermission, the emcee actually announce on stage to "go and enjoy concessions."  We had to turn away quite a few people because we didn't set up concessions.

Exactly!  The house manager made a note to make sure that someone tells the emcee that there will still be no concessions for today's portions of the competitions.

My friend Margo and I were thinking about going to a movie today.  We haven't decided which, so it'll be a surprise.  We may go out to eat after (or possibly before), but either way, it's movie-and-a-meal day!

It was a weird night. I turned off the lights around 9:15, and spent the next two hours fighting sleep while romping kitties leaped over me, pursued each other across my bed and about the apartment. At one point there was the crash of something I have yet to discover. I don't know when things quieted down, but when I woke, it was nearly 2:00 a.m. At that point it was freezing in the apartment, and all three cats were occupying 3/4 of my bed.

I need to clean this place today while I finish the soup I began yesterday. I have to peel and slice a lot of potatoes.

Is anyone else playing Wordle? A daily browser word game. You can only play one game per day, so it's not addicting.

Last night I tried to watch a new PBS British mystery, Miss Scarlett and the Duke. After 15 minutes I gave up.

I keep learning new rules. I didn’t know until today you could repeat letters.

Rain today, starting off as freezing rain then turning to regular later on

Two good things: 

1.  None of us has to go out today.
2.  There's nothing you can do about it anyway, so no outdoors work.

I lied. Three things:

3.  It's not ... you know.

The creators know little to nothing of Victorian social customs. It's one more from the "let's dress up and pretend we're in another period" school of writing.

No plans today except to continue learning How to Succeed.

For me, and I might be alone in this, Mr. Loesser's scores always sound more obvious and "easy" than they actually are, harmony-wise, etc. It's very gratifying to get the chords and all into my ears and fingers.

I found it fun, but the overuse of the color blue was irritating. They even changed green carnations to blue for some unknown reason.
