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

I had a pretty good night of sleep, but I have no memory of a single dream. Faithful Annabelle slept by my side until sometime after three she crawled under the blankets with me. At that time she proceeds to relax and take up 75% of the bed.

I got a lot of printing of invoices accomplished yesterday. Today I must tackle a lot of Amazon invoices. Once that's finished, I will sort and file all the invoices I've printed under their subject matter: books, music, CDs, DVDds, subscriptions, etc.

Thanks for stopping by last night, DR vixmom. I can't even imagine all the disruption you've been living through. Glad that is coming to a close.

I had intended to listen to the CDs of LA Then and Now, but I discovered that my CD player, which I haven't sed in over six months, is no longer a living thing and in need of disposal. Sadly, I cannot afford a new player, much less a CD, so that has to wait.

So, I downloaded LA Then and Now into my iTunes while I listened to McGlinn's unreleased Babes in Toyland. I'll listen to it this morning as I print invoices.

Also, when you and vixdad go shopping for your new matteress and box springs, do not get arrested for trying them out.

Good to see vixmom here, and glad to hear the repairs are getting done in what seems to be a timely manner. What a horrible set of damages that was.

Thank you for that link, DR JRand71. Talk about an unwelcome proposition. Here's what "my" site is still showing for the latter part of the week as of this moment, and -- well, damn it to HELL, I do rather hope my team wins.  :)

After four days with highs in the 30s, today is supposed to get up to 67.

It should get to around 45 here today, which will feel like another welcome false spring. Especially in comparison with yesterday's sub-freezing temps in the middle of the day.

Following today's matinee and the two shows yesterday, this evening is going to feel like a damned vacation. And the next four days are to be precious ME days, with plenty to ketchup on and for learning to play Chicago - which, oddly enough, will be my first ever time to play the show. It will also be my first ever "high school edition" to witness, let alone play. I glanced at the Piano 1 book but I don't know it well enough to tell what the differences will be from the main show. Doesn't matter. It's going to be a fun one-week gig.

In the meantime, I *continue* to find and correct mistakes (and unreadable blobs) in my book in this early sixties reduced touring orchestration. It's for ten players and no one gets a real break at any time in the show. I know our brass players' faces will be welcoming a return to "normal" parts.

I would LOVE to hear a production with the original orchestration sometime. And hopefully by then it would be played from DR Elmore's critical edition.

It was very nice to see DR VIXMOM last night.  I am happy that her home is getting back to normal - construction wise.

We are expecting temperatures in the mid 40's today leading into the 60's next week.

I'll take it.

Before I could get to work, I had to clean up the mess that Thatch or Stella made of my worktable and the floor below it since yesterday. I took care of that, then cleaned up all the clutter on the table so I have a good tax station.
