Speaking of shows, last night's rehearsal of She Loves Me was fantastic. We learned all the music for Scene 1 and blocked it as well. This is new for me, usually we learn the music, then we block/choreograph, but this seemed to work very well. I'm excited about the show, already it looks great!
My county is under both a Winter Weather Advisory AND a Wind Chill Advisory for tonight and tomorrow.So Friday will be a stay at home day.
George & Rodzinski, did you see this?"A bill up for debate in Olympia calls for clocks to no longer “spring ahead” in March and for Pacific Standard Time to remain in effect year-round."

As DR Ron Pulliam pointed out on FB, Peter Schickele (PDQ Bach) has died at 88.
Yesterday I mentioned it was 42. That’s how bouncy our weather has been. That was a high after lows around 17. Today it’s supposed to get up to 70.
I’m ushering for Les Ballets Trokadero de Monte Carlo. I hear they’re sensational. It’s an all-male troupe performing all the parts in classical ballet.
Star pizza. Each point is filled with extra sauce and cheese.
So sorry to hear of Peter Schickele's death. He was not only a brilliant musicologist and hysterically funny gentleman, he was very kind and generous and a brilliant composer and arranger. I used to see him often at Associated vMusic, which was run by my friend Judy Haring. He gave us tickets to the premiere of PDQ Bach's Oedipus Tex at Carnegie Hall. Dana Kruger as Madame Bo-Peep. the village seeress, sang to Oedipus:You murdered your father and married your mother?You rascal! You're my kind of guy.Several years ago, I called Peter to tell hm how much I loved his opera The Abduction of Figaro, and I asked him about some of his recordings that never made it to CD, like the incidental musical for The Knight of the Burning Pestle. Not long after that, I received several homemade CDs in the mail. He will be missed
My cousin Carol and I are going to lunch today.....we are going to try the new Xaxby's......which just opened here last month.She said that she is familiar with them from Florida.....but they are new to Indiana.
Meals distributed. Potatoes all gone. Cases of oranges gone. Yogurt gone. We gave out 130 six-packs of that.
Back from my appointment, where I learned I’ve lost 11 pounds since seeing her last in September. Must be the “moving diet.”
Congrats on the weight loss.
