Topic of the Day:  ugh. :P

Fortunately, I've never had to deal with anything like that.  I've just read about what others have had to go through.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Many theater people have a soft spot for “The Light in the Piazza”.

Adam Guettel has not had a musical since that one, in 2005.

I think that people are excited about the reunion of Adam Guettel, Craig Lucas, and Kelli O’Hara for “Days of Wine And Roses”.

Brian d’Arcy James is usually excellent as well.

I don’t see Kelli O’Hara as Mrs. Lovett.

However, I’m not totally sure about Annaleigh Ashford either.

It remains to be seen.

Will Josh Groban be a powerful Sweeney Todd?

Great voice, but who knows?

I really enjoy Twitter.

Brilliant people in all fields, theater, music, science, journalism, chefs, gardening, political figures, nature enthusiasts, etc.

I choose the people with whom I wish to engage in conversation, and I learn so much, share laughter and compassion, and hope that Elon Musk never succeeds in his desire to destroy it.

The best part is if someone is abusive or totally irritating, it is possible to block them.

You will never have to deal with that person again.

Oh, before I forget…

DR VIXMOM, there is a lovely and touching article in the Sunday New York Times Opinion section about “Pictures From Home”.

I may be completely screwed today. My cell phone is acting up. It has days in which I discover that the battery does not hold its charge. This has happened twice before, but it's usually b een fine for 4-6 weeks before the next bout. Because I hate getting out and about, I've ignored getting to a Verizon store to deal with the problem.

So . . . this morning at 4:00 on a bathroom break, I checked the time on the cell phone. It was dead after being charged at 6:00 last night. I plugged it back into its charger, and it's still charging. I have no idea if this is the end of my current cell phone or if it will work today. If it doesn't, I must cancel my appointment and AAR, since I cann ot get their text messages on a dead phone.

I’m more concerned about Groban’s acting skills than anything. I think Ashford can do practically anything after Dot and Kinky Boots.

I cancelled my Twitter account. Anything that monetizes Elon is not something I can support.

Mind you, this is my personal choice. I am not advocating for anyone else; that is their personal choice.

And with the rise of hate speech on that platform, there has been a commensurate rise in physical attacks on marginalized communities.
