This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Something like that only happens two or three times in a person's life!

I'm glad Thatch is doing ok, Elmore. I'm glad they are all doing ok.

Leonard is doing ok. I've gotten to where I really worry about teeth now more than anything. Joshie had to have all his removed. Rex had to have several removed.

When I took Leonard to get shots before we fostered the kittens, the vet said his teeth were in good shape.

I looked at the program for Mattress. Why did they delete "The Minstrel, the Jester, and I"?

Thursday morning greetings!  I’m all dressed to meet some Dayton friends for lunch, but my stomach is misbehaving so I’m staying home.  Nothing life-threatening.

Last night, I got an e-mail from my friend (and TAO's artistic director) pug asking me to get the rights for TAO's next show (a play which shall not be named...yet).  So, I will get the rights.  They're from Dramatists Play Service.


Getting-rights-easily vibes!

Thanks, Freddie!  They are easy to get...just pay and wait.  Fortunately, I won't have to wait too long.

Thanks, DR George.  So far, so good after a cautious lunch.

Because the PC folk now running Encores! determined that the Minstrel was a politically incorrect racist issue and cut the character from the script.

Minstrel:  a medieval singer or musician, especially one who sang or recited lyric or heroic poetry to a musical accompaniment for the nobility.

So who is singing the minstrel's part? You can't just delete the narrator.

When they did the tv version, they deleted Sir Harry, didn't they? That was dumb.

Food distribution was relatively easy. And demand was heavy.

Odd day.

Muggy, high humidity that sticks to/coats windows.

Had pest control come this morning. 

Ate lunch at Triangle (cubed steak!!!)

Received my first dosages of Dupixent from VA.  Confusion abounds.  Family allergy clinic must administer first two doses, and I'm guessing they're the dosages I got in the mail today.

I have to make appointment to go to allergy clinic to get the first two dosages, and I am waiting for a call-back. 

Sigh.

Lots of stuff to do, low on energy to get it done, and wheels spinning virtually  as I sit and wait.  And wait.

And wait.

...I had a wonderful night's sleep!  I awakened fresh and ready for coffee!

There are things I truly MUST get to.

Oh, joy!

Oh, rapture!

The clinic called and I can go in tomorrow morning for my first two shots!

After that, I will be self-administering every two weeks.

I have bought a mini refrigerator from Sam's Club.  It is an Igloo brand.  I am going to use it for my meds that require refrigeration.

I have opted for curbside pickup.  I cannot pick it up until 7 p.m.

Exactly. You know, "minstrel shows"? I cleaned up the number in case the powers-that-be changed their mind, but it was decided before the Dec. 21 orchestra reading. I have a low opinion of the ladies in charge now, and I'm really sad that Mary Rodgers wasn't around to tell them to fuck off.  Encores! has always treated living authors more cautiously.

It was bright while it lasted.

Still, the cloud cover IS breaking up, so sunny days may be ahead until the weekend when more deluges are expected.

Sorry to read this, Larry.

It seems the only acceptable offensiveness is that which Donald Trump expectorates.
