Chipotle headquarters claims they do NOT use MSG in any of their products.  All I know is what happened last night has only happened before with a MSG reaction.  I thought I was having a stroke.  I didn't go get my mail because I was afraid I would fall off my scooter.

Can they find out what was in your food?  It would be good to know to avoid it.  Maybe the manager at the restaurant can help you figure it out if you explain what happened.

[Jane]

I have already pulled that stunt.  I dn't want to repeat it.

I am glad you didn't fall, and that you recovered from your reaction. 

[Jane]

I enjoyed the notes and photos today.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep, did stuff, and now I shall be on my way to the shoot.

Saw my cardiologist this morning.

First, during check-in, they took my blood pressure which was textbook perfect!!  Then I got a flu shot! They asked if I'd had one, and when I said no, I was asked if I wanted one.  I thought they'd tell me where in the hospital to go after my appointment.  But the nurse gave it to me right then and there.

My cardiologist was very complimentary about my heartbeat (!) and tests and changed my quarterly visits to annual ones!  Yay!

I was so psyched, I stopped at CostCo on the way home.  I wasn't going to, but what the heck!

Does shopping at Costco increase your heart rate?  Or is it those hot dogs with sauerkraut that are unhealthy?

Yeah, being knocked out cold for a four-hour nap can help your recovery.  I have never had a problem with Mexican food.  It used to be Chinese restaurants that loaded their food with MSG.  I will just avoid Chipotle.  It was probably the cilantro!

Ask BK Day

What was Jack's question for Ask Bk Day?

[Laura]

Good afternoon.

[Laura]

My question for Ask BK Day:

(Anyone can answer, and should!)

What's up with all this weird casting and staging these days?  Like an all female 1776 and this new Oklahoma! I'm seeing this weekend.

Ask BK Day

Would you call this new series a comedy, a musical, or a heavy drama? (Please not another heavy drama!!)

[TCB]

Good afternoon.

Laura!  Nice to see you.  Good afternoon to you, as well.

It is the world we live in now.  I am about to announce my new musical for next Fall.  It is a lighthearted look at Santa, who is a gay slasher, who goes around killing all of the kids that are naughty.  Santa will be played by a non-binary woman.  Music by ALW.

[TCB]

My apologies.  I don't even know if there can be a non-binary woman.

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  Today I’m finishing books for both of my groups.  Reading The Daughters of Yalta with my eyes in preparation for hearing the author speak tomorrow evening.  And I’m reading When the Emperor was Divine with my ears for the group that meets Friday at the library where my career began.

Not at the same time, of course 

What are your eyes and ears thinking about these books?

Well, my eyes fell asleep a couple of times this afternoon, but the Yalta book is finished.  It’s detail-packed, but just when you think you’re bogged down in the politics the author tells a vivid tale that perks things right back up.  I’m looking forward to hearing the author speak tomorrow.

My ears will have to get back to you on the Emperor book.

Do you normally order food without cilantro?

Thanks for the review.  I want the abridged book to read

LOL!  Just a joke.  Cilantro tastes like soap to me.

Well, if we don't get to page 25, it won't be because DR TCB didn't post.

I haven't pulled out my copies of Opening Night on Broadway (1943-1964) and More Opening Nights on Broadway (1965-1981) by Steven Suskin in quite a while, but I think it's about time.

The books contain excerpts of the professional print reviews of Broadway shows during the Golden Era. Fun reading. For the hits and the flops.

[singdaw]

Oy! Still a long way from page four.

[singdaw]

It's a dearth. A dearth, I tell you.

[singdaw]

A thraed, if you go backward.

[singdaw]

And I know you do.
