I am back from the car place, and from Norwalk, Connecticut where I returned a loaner keyboard.

Oh, and -- if the whole truth must be told (and I fear it must) -- from a popular fast food chain drive-thru whose well known name starts with "Mc".

Finally, one (1) more musical thing for me this evening:  the second round of auditions for Pippin... after which I am DONE. For, like, almost two weeks. Which is pretty well DONE in my book.

I will, of course, have the full Repor for you in the morning.

Last week I was at DQ with the kids, and I took note of a big concrete post behind where I had parked and told myself to be sure not to back into it when we left. Fast forward to us leaving and I’m focused on that post, and my parking assistance is beeping and I’m like, don’t worry, parking assistance, I’ve got my eye on that nasty old post. Fear not! And then I ever-so-gently back into a parked car I didn’t see at all. A lovely green convertible with two older folks in it. I step out and apologize. We assess the damage, of which I see none. But the old guy thinks he sees a little dent. We compare to the other side of the car, and he realized it was just the normal contour of his car’s body, no dent or scratch. A miracle with today’s cars. So he says, I guess we’re fine, and I walk away. Then I notice he has a Washington plate, and I say, “Hey, do you live on the Point?” (local name for our exclave). He says yes, we get to talking and it turns out he and his wife live on my street, four houses away and I’ve seen him and his cute dog many times from afar. We chat for a bit and I say if he changes his mind and sees a scratch, he now knows where to find me! And then I got in the car and drive away feeling rather lucky.

Lucky and with a great story.

This reminds me that 30-some years ago I’m in school in Athens, GA, driving too close behind a co-ed on Baxter Street. She slams the brakes of her CRX at a light. I do the same, but hit her bumper. This time, I def did damage. I get out while she walks back to look. I’ll never forget, she scans the damage and goes, “Hmm. Well, my dad’s just about to buy me a new car, so we don’t have to worry about this.” Gets back in her CRX, and takes off without a care in the world.

Thanks DR singdaw - hopefully I will survive.

After the excitement of the funeral - we are blocking the sequence in the play where I am handcuffed to a chaise lounge and have to drag it all around the stage.

That doesn't sound like fun.

Hope all goes smoothly today.

Typing on this phone is getting on my nerves, so I must take my leave.

Later!

I do not like posting using my phone.

I will leave you (promise) with one last morning thought:

Yesterday, in a local FB group I belong to, a person asked if anyone would give her advice on dealing with life.

I suggested:  Never seek advice from strangers on Facebook.

For some odd reason, the post, which had quite a lot of responses, disappeared completely.

;D ;D

I was maybe 19 when I backed into a car in the parking lot.  I only tapped it, still I wasn't sure what to do.  While trying to determine if I did any damage to the other car, the parking lot attendant walked up and  inspected the car with me.  He then looked at me and said no way did I put all those dents into the car, said don't worry about it and go ahead and leave.  I thanked him and left.

Got a reply from the Amazon seller - severe weather delays, apologies, and keep the item. That was nice but - what item? Maybe it'll show up someday. Then they say "they've" refunded me, but that's not accurate - Amazon refunded me. But I'll amend the feedback I left them to reflect they got back to me.
