I took a hot shower and figured out a much better last three pages, so I just wrote them while it was fresh in my mind, and just before doing that, I revised the eight pages before it, because I got a really good idea for it. So, I think all that really helped, and now tomorrow I won't have to do those pages, other than maybe smooth them out.

Last night was one of the most hellish nights I've ever had. I turned off the lightds at 9:15 and fell right to sleep. Two hours later, I awoke with awful pains in my right leg. I finally took an opiate Tramodol, which dd nothing to alleviate the situation.  The next six hours seemed like sixty. I tossed, turned, dozed on occasion, and the pains never stopped.

I have some necessary housecleaning to accomplish today, and then, as I will tomorrow, I plan to do little as possible.

I first saw JK Simmons in 1990 in the Houston Grand Opera production of Carousel, still the absolutely best production of Carousel I've seen since the 1966 Lincoln Center production with John Raitt. I next saw him in the wonderful Evans-Holzman musical Birds of Paradise. I would occasionally see him on the Upper West Side, but we never met. I was really happy for him when his career took off.

Me, too. I saw the show at least six times in its brief run, and taped four or five complete performances in case it did not get a professional recording.

On Friday night, my friend Martin Yates conducted the City of Birmingham Orchestra in an all-Sondheim concert. I had three pieces on the program.

Elmore, they prescribed Tramadol this week after the tooth extraction. Thankfully I never had to take any.

It's a brutally ugly day here in Johnston SC.

We haven't had any snow, but I can hear the freezing rain as it hits against the window.

There isn't any accumulation.  It's just at 33 degrees with a wind chill of 21 degrees.

Advisories beg us all to stay in today if at all possible.

Tramodol isn't really an opioid; it's a synthetic. At least that's my understanding. I don't find it does a thing by itself, so I take Advil with it. Then it helps.

Today a marathon has my neighborhood closed off. I usually get so annoyed that I find some project that will keep me busy all day so I don't think about it. One year I made my first croquembouche. That took all day.

However, we had 25,000 cases of covid reported yesterday. I don't see how packing a lot of people together can possibly be a good thing.

One thing I do worry about, though: what if there is a medical emergency? It would take so long for emergency services to get through.
