After the ice cream, Mom and I took a drove down to the river. I marvel at all the tree-lined neighborhoods there are here. Richly verdant. Shady and beautiful.

Jennifer Lawrence’s mother supposedly lives in the area we drove through.

I don't know if you all remember the chronic bathroom leak problems that we had for about a year from the bathroom in the unit above ours back at the beginning of the pandemic.

Well, today we discovered a damp carpet, water stains, and black mold in the bedroom around the cooling unit. We suspect also from above. I anticipate another big ordeal. This time, it will probably mean opening up the wall.

I am not a happy camper.

At least it's not hot at the moment. But I suspect it will be before this is fixed.

I am taking Mom to see a local outdoor production of The Sound of Music on Friday.

Nice!  Hope you both enjoy the show!

If anyone's interested, here's a video for the title song from the new musical version of Some Like It Hot, that'll have a score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

Twelfth Night is one of my favorites if it’s done well


It’s one of my favorites, too, which is why I chose to see it even if I have never seen Richard III live.



A few years , oh gosh I see now it was nine years ago, , Vixdad bought me tickets to see this https://www.broadway.com/buzz/172286/all-male-twelfth-night-starring-tony-winner-mark-rylance-begins-broadway-performances/

As you can see from one of the photos there were stall seats on stage.  Vixdad  bought me stage floor level seats ( the stalls  were two level ) for both performances

I loathe that Some Like it Hot thing - it's so typical of that composer - all pastiche all the time. But now we know what a musical version of Some Like it Hot would have sounded like had it been written by Cahn and Van Heusen. Unfortunately, wrong time period. I've had it with this pastiche crap, frankly. You find none of that in the Sugar score by Styne and Merrill, whatever you think about it. It's also something I purposely avoided in The Brain from Planet X - anything that sounded like 1950s rock-and-roll, which every other sci-fi musical spoof set in the 1950s has done. I had one song like that in the show originally - the original Rod and Donna song - but after our staged reading I took it right out and wrote Good Girl/Bad Girl. And that's why the score and show works.

My sister Annaliese, her son Herman and his SO, Magenta, came in for lunch today.


Herman’s SO = significant other?
Social outcast?
Sorrowful orphan?
Slightly offensive?

Am I getting close?
