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

So, I had signed up and was assigned to be an usher today for the Olympia Symphony Music Director Finalist Concert #1: Alexandra Arrieche. But it turns out that no one had signed up to be barback (bartender support), so last night I told the house manager that I would be willing to switch to barback (I have experience doing it), and she was VERY happy. She said that she'd switch me over.

Well, I just looked at the Washington Center's volunteer website and not only was I NOT signed up to be barback today, I was actually taken off the usher list!

I went ahead and signed up for barback (although I won't show up unless or until someone actually assigns me), and I'll go to the theater expecting to be the barback. But if I get there and it turns out that they don't need me (which won't be the case), I won't mind leaving...but that won't happen.

And now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, friends.

It's a neighborly day in the neighborhood.

singdaw · « **Reply #10 on:** February 13, 2022, 04:01:04 AM »

Or so says Mr. Rodgers.

Won't you be my neighbor?

I had a truly rotten night of sleep, asnd the apartment was freezing, which only added to my misery.

In 1961, before the film West Side Story was released, I couldn't wait to see it, and I believe my friends and I saw it first night in Cincinnati, which was a 30-mile drive from Middletown. I was - I believe - fourteen, and I was the youngest of a group consisting of three or four Middletown children's librarians and myself. I was so excited, it was all I thought about for weeks once we started planning the trip.

I remain completely apathetic about the new film. I haven't seen it, and I have no real desire to.

I have a couple of bills to pay today, the laundry from yesterday to put away, and maybe a bit of vacuuming. Then I'm lying down and doing nothing.

I thought Mr. Elgort was fine in the movie. Problem is, he’s been accused of sexual assault, which, to some, means his acting can no longer be taken for what it is.

John G. · « **Reply #18 on:** February 13, 2022, 05:10:15 AM »

Thank you, BK, for pointing out the underwhelming cinematography. That and the blue palette are what I liked least about this West Side Story.

It had looked like the coming of spring these last few days, and now it looks like ... well, mid-February.

It's only going to be two to three inches. BUT - they had forecast only one to two. And that makes a big difference in the cleanup. Which will have to be done without fail this afternoon because it's falling back into the teens tonight.

Thank goodness there's another thaw coming, mid-week.

DR JohnG, how did so many of us miss the fact you were traveling? Enjoy your break.

It's Sunday.

And you know what everybody says about Sunday

Put on your Sunday clothes
There's lots of world out there
Get out the brillantine and dime cigars
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air
Girls in white in a perfumed night
Where the lights are bright as the stars!

Put on your Sunday clothes, we're gonna ride through town
In one of those new horsedrawn open cars

Maybe here, in Johnston SC, there's not as much excitement (not by a long shot), but there is lunch at Riley's on Main (on Calhoun Street).

That begins at 11 a.m. A mere one hour and 23 minutes away! Happily, it's a five-minute drive from my house.

I got a pleasant nine hours of sleep last night.

Feeling just fine, if not spiffy.

In anticipation of tomorrow:

My biggest issue right now is whether to shave or not.

If I am going out in public,I think needs must.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #29 on:** February 13, 2022, 06:43:27 AM »

And that, as they say, is that.
