Well, Access-a-Ride was late, very late, around 47 minutes late. I was fit to be tied. However, the driver was wonderful. I can't blame him' it's the damned dispatchers. So, I got to my pharmacy. then taxi'd to Staples, where Fatima, my favorite print section lady, taught me how to scan my orchestra score with a credit card. So, as Shakespeare the Bird of Avon, once wrote, All's Well That Ends Well.

Good morning, all.

I slept well.  Had pleasant dreams, all of which have drifted into obscurity.

The overture looks wonderful so far, DR Elmore. More, please! (You can't, I'm sure. Understood!)

Forgot to say:  I don't even know how monetizing works.

Is it when an uploader gets so many followers and views that YouTube is able to attract advertisers to that page, so that they're, in effect, sharing the advertising wealth with you? Am I even close?

Waiting for a blood test.

That is a required step for the marriage license.

Duly noted. And if ever married I’m
Will he bore me till I brain him
And make the cover of Life and Time?

I am reading a NOVEL about the life and death of actor Dick Kallman....one chapter is about the investigation of his death....then a chapter about his life.....and so on and so on etc etc etc.

It's interesting with appearances by a lot of folks whose names I know.....if you are interested in Broadway/tv/movies of the 50's and 60's you might enjoy it....possible.

My sister works from home, so it would've been more convenient to just send them there.  No, my niece asked if I would get them for her birthday, even though it's not until April. ::)

Got it.  I thought someone was usually at her house.

The trouble I’m having is with my propane delivery service. They won’t deliver to me. Their customer service dept has gone rogue. This evening I had a lady pretending she couldn’t hear me and telling me to call back in 2 minutes, by which time they’d closed.

I've been up since seven-fifteen - allergy issues - read the play and now maybe I'll go try for a couple more hours of sleep as I've only had four.

I think I might need to specify in any future auditions that I won't accept a role unless I get to eat on stage! :D

A few weeks back I decided to check on Ann Jillian to see if she had done anything I might like to watch, and was also curious how she was doing.

It’s just the state of the current internet, innit? Deception, misdirection, anything for a click. And please like and subscribe.

You’ll be on a news page now and there will be these unrelated headlines to click on: “The Tragic End of (some perfectly still-alive actor).” Or “Why Hollywood Will Never Work With Judith Light Again.” And it’s all such obvious clickbait.

Judith Light recently did an episode of Poker Face.

When Judith Light was preparing for her role in WIT, a woman with ovarian cancer, she talked to my cousin for a better understanding of it.

I found on eBay an unused, boxed printer like my recently deceased HP at a very reasonable price. So, I sent the seller a message "I will buy this if you can guarantee me a delivery by Friday." That began a flurry of messages. UPS said it would cost $50 to ship it, but the US postal service was charging $27.20. So, I have a new printer arriving tomorrow.

Great news, Larry!
