Today my sister Molly and I are making the trek to the big city to see Tracy Letts' play THE MINUTES at the Phoenix Cultural Center.

As the license plates used to say, Wander Indiana.

Wish I was back with all the sweet and simple folk I call my kin, in Kokomo, Indiana.

Well if it isn’t pop and mom you always had the cutest grin, in Kokomo, Indiana.

How would you like to go and see that old Wabashful Beau you used to know?
In Kokomo, Indiana.

Wouldn’t you just as soon go out and spoon beneath the Hoosier moon?
Oh what a moon!

For all the many reasons I have mentioned heretofore, my heart will always stay in Kokomo.
And of course you know, the town of Kokomo
Will always be
Indefinitely,
In Indiana!

Sorry, not sorry, lyric-post haters. That’s from Mother Wore Tights.

But I learned it from a Vaughn Monroe 78.

My apologies to Hugo Friedhofer.

I love Black Narcissus. I started reading another Godden novel, In This House of Brede, and need to get back to it.

Some dreams during the night included making mobiles out of food. They weren’t working too well because they started stinking up the joint.

Sunday morning greetings! I’ve just seen Richard off to church.

Ginny · « **Reply #46 on:** February 04, 2024, 07:27:41 AM »

DR John G, Brede is one of Richard’s favorite novels. He’s read it multiple times and I read it in 2020.

John G. · « **Reply #47 on:** February 04, 2024, 07:55:58 AM »

I loved the beginning. It’s on my Kindle. I just need to get back to it.

John G. · « **Reply #48 on:** February 04, 2024, 07:56:48 AM »

Godden is such a good writer. I need to read more of her.

I must put my copy of Black Narcissus on the watch pile.

I've never seen it; always wanted to.

This morning I listened to a sacred piece of music I had never heard before: Cesar Frack's 2-hour oratorio Les Beatitudes. It's quie beautiful/

At the moment I am listening to the flop musical The Fields of Ambrosia; Michael Silvestri's score is really glorious, and Harold Wheeler's orchestrations are fantastic. It's based on the film The Traveling Executioner.

Of course I will be turning in my script to the Artistic Director....or at least leaving it there for her.

Good to get it in in time for the Pulitzers!

I'd never seen that number before!

Well, the US Postal service has lost another package that was supposedly delivered yesterday. There's either a thief in our building or the postal carrier is one of the following:
1. dyslexic and the package sits in another building's mail room;
2. a thief.

The last time I never received a supposedly delivered package was Dec. 23, 2023. This is really pissing me off.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #56 on:** February 04, 2024, 09:31:01 AM »

Exactly DR FREDDIE.....I'm working on my acceptance speech.

Or maybe I'll use the left over from the Oscars last year.

DR Singdaw we had our dream kitchen in Ashland and miss it every single day.

Our fairly new electric popcorn popper isn't working properly. The last one lasted a long time. Needless to say we aren't happy. Keith has been using a pot to pop the corn in.

From DR John:

Quote

Costco was having a sale on Australian licorice in strawberry, mango and green apple flavors. Excellent stuff. Great flavor.

I like the strawberry, not the other flavors. Yesterday I compared the ingredients of my Panda black licorice to several Australian brands. I stuck with the Panda since there are fewer ingredients in it.
