The ballet was the perfect antidote to how Richard and I had spent the afternoon. We attended the “Tennebrae” conducted by our community’s chaplain. Now, I’m fully aware that Good Friday is not supposed to be festive, but this was especially depressing. Most of the other attendees were from the assisted living and memory care units, including 3 women we knew 30-40-50 years ago who didn’t recognize us yesterday

Sending hugs, Ginny!

Slow and steady wins the race.

Good morning, all!

I staggered in to face three angry cats: Annabelle is still pissed she isn't dancing the lead in the ballet, Thatch wanted to take a class at Indiana University, and Stella wanted to play her tambourine in the ballet orchestra. They've all been angry for some time over the situation, but when they heard how well it went, it was hell, pure hell.

DR Elmore mentioned Tiffany of the NYPL, and she was indeed a wonderful and helpful person.

Another special treat for me, however fleeting it was, was meeting - after hearing about her all these years - DR Elmore's goddaughter Charlotte who is totally charming.

I appreciated DR ChasSmith's report. Once I got to the library, saw the layout and assured myself that I was not going to fall or stumble and get into the wheelchair, I was fine. I felt a bit like The Man Who Came To Dinner being pushed around, and I really liked Georgina, my co-host, so I decided to have a good time.

I didn't get to bed until rather late, so I slept in this morning to the dismay of three cats who wanted breakfast. Thew nice thing was that when they finally got fed, they ate everything in sight.

BK, I think tonight's performance at 7:30 Eastern Time - is that 4:30 in LA? - will have the best cast. Tonight's leading man was the dancing Oscar in last night's performance. He's really good.

DR Singdaw. thanks for posting the program and screening link earlier.

I was really grateful for DR vixmom's call yesterday. It was nice to have someone to talk to and not fret about all the pre-show nonsense.

Such good news about the ballet last night.

Thanks to DR CHAS SMITH & DR ELMORE for posting info.

And thanks to all for the links.

And such wonderful FOOD pictures from DR JOHN G.

My legs are killing me today, so as soon as kitty cleanup is over, I'm doing little as possible the rest of the day. Beyond watching two ballet performans and listening to a few CDs, I'm taking it easy.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #74 on:** March 30, 2024, 07:11:50 AM »

Yes DR RODZINSKI - and the Sycamores play on Tuesday, so I am hoping they advance even further.....

The Purdue game was tense for a bit in the first half but then not so much.....

I will not be able to watch this afternoon amid preparations for my trip next week, but I am looking forward to tonight.

singdaw · « **Reply #77 on:** March 30, 2024, 07:23:03 AM »

Next week at this time, I will be in sunny Palm Springs.

I've long admired the excellence of Indiana University's music school. My family and I even visited there when we were considering colleges for little old moi, even though it had already looked like I would be shepherded in the direction of Cleveland (which was indeed a good thing). But they have always seemed to be really smart out there, and that impression is further solidified with their handling of this ballet.

Not that it was especially memorable, but I recall preferring the Radcliffe How To Succeed to the Broderick version (Ferris Bueller Succeeds).

In the clips that I've seen of each, Radcliffe looks like he's having fun playing the role and Broderick doesn't.

DR George, thank you for explaining what a paper tech is.

My pleasure.

I slightly knew Karen Shaw, who served for many years as the chair of the Piano Department at Indiana's Jacobs School of Music. I studied piano with her aunt.

I am right in the path of The Eclipse and will enjoy it on that day.

When I was playing in a How to Succeed orchestra two years ago, I watched whatever clips I could find of those revivals. I was sufficiently disheartened by the unnecessary changes in them that I was glad I hadn't gone to see either one.

When what I'd really like to be doing is eating bon-bons and watching teevee.
